AutocratIc EnaIishmen.

One of the reasons why English is
expected to become a world wide Ian
suage is that English people refuse to
learn another. For instance, at Mus
cat. at the entrance to the Persian gulf,
there lived for many years an English
man. supposed to be the only, or al
most the only, British resident on the
1.5O0 miles of Arabian coast line from
Alden to Koweit. 1t would seem that
he could hardly have escaped knowing
Arabic. Yet he confessed that he
could not speak dozen words of that
language. But how do you carry on
your trader" some one asked. "Oh,"
he replied, "the beggars have got to
learn English"

the onion Is yellow add two cups of
potato cubes, season with salt and
pepper and cook until the potatoes
are well heated through. Sprinkle

potatoes will do very well.

cooked cubes of potato with rich
white sauce, cover with buttered
crumbs and bake in a hot oven. A
little onion juice added to the sauce
will improve the flavor.
When there is sufficient mashed po-
tato left, place 1t in well buttered
baking dish, brush with well beaten
egg and bake until brown. Serve from
the baking dish in which 1t was baked.
A mold of chopped beef, well sea-

mashed potatoes, brushed with egg

supper or luncheon.

hot mashed potato. Add half cup of
milk, two we'll beaten yolks of eggs.

well beaten whites of the eggs. Pile

types have been selected so that in each
Is emphasized what is implicit In the
other. Thus one sex Is always somewhat
of mystery to the other, especiaf~
the woman to the man. When a man
thinks that he understands a woman
completely he had better think again.
In primitive human life woman full
filled the reproductive and Industrial
functions, while men were protective and
military. At first these functions were
equal in value, but as society developed
the premium was placed on the military
functions This meant the subjugation
of woman by man. In one word. the long
story of the gradual emancipation Of
womanhood is the record of the freeing
of the industrial functions of society from
the domination of the military functions
DR. Griggs said that the industrial
revolution had brought men and women
TO work side by side in competition in
factories. Industrially, he said, that
means the arrival Of new type OF
woman.
The same change has taken place In
human marriage; intelligent men find IN
creaslngly the satisfaction" he continued
"of their lives. not In the woman who
subordinatos herself, but in an individual
personality. self-centred and self-directed
and able to give and take in the great
relations of human life
He said that the clinging vine type has
a hard time unless il finds the supporting
oak tree. and added:
"Our time is therefore one Of transit
tion. hard for both men and women, but
doubly hard for woman. When n man
makes shipwreck Of the deepest relation
of personal life he has many other chan
nels for readjustment, but when woman
makes shipwreck Of that relation every
effort she makes for self-realzation only
tightens the chains that bind her. Thus
the greatest need to-day is that women
and men should strive TO understand
each other Whatever makes the wom-
ans movement one of women against
