MARY's LAMB UP TO DATE
AZ Told by London Newspaper in
What Might APPLY Be Described
AZ 1ostonese English.

Miss Mary was the possessor OF a
diminutive and immature specimen of
the Owls Aries, wool-bearing and
ruminant quadruped, whose flesh is
highly esteemed by persons to whose
gustatory organs its flavor is agree
able.
The shaggy and agglomerated fila
ments constituting in their collective
capacity its natural outer covering, in.
.tegument, or garment. presented to
the vision a surface absolutely etiola-
ted and alhified, and rivaling in i'm
maculateness the lustrous mantle OF
crystalized vapor that commonly char
acterizes the winter landscape.
And to whatsoever locality, contigu.
GUS or remote, whittier Mary's. yagrant
fancy. the call OF duty, or perchance
the parental mandate impelled her,
when not otherwise engaged, to be-
take herself. this juvenescept repre-.
sentative Of the genus Owls Aries,
with a fidelity remarkable in one so
immature and inexperienced, could be
counted upon with absolute and entire
certainty to accompany her.-London

Women in War.

What a splendid courage and un.
tagging zeal in their country's cause
athe Boer women showed in the South
African war has never been so fully
realized as it will be now by all who
read the remarkable record just pub
5lished under the title of "Petticoat
Commands" This is practically the
diary done in narrative form Of girl
who. with her widowed mother, out
witted the English officers and men
and helped their countrymen. They
were clever, cultivated and kindly wo-
men. simply aglow with patriotism;
and to read what they did and how
they did 1t makes one realize afresh
what wonderful creatures women are,
Let scientists say what they will,
women are in no way inferior to men,
and in many ways vastly superior. In
resource certainly, in tact often, in
strength Of purpose at least their
equals.
