The following is taken from Penny Paper, a woman's paper published in England: "At the London University examination In Arts a greater per cent, of women passed than men. Miss Thomas, of University College, took first place in class and the exhibition. Miss Holt, of Liverpool University took first place in examination in physics."

8. Kidder. We hope the legislature will heed the petition which has been sent to them by the convention of teachers recently in session in Topeka. They ask that the school laws be so amended that a certificate cannot be issued to anyone who uses profane language, intoxicating drink or tobacco in any form. 1 Some say it would be perfectly absurd, as well as unjust, to have such a law.

Why would it? Is a man who swears or drinks fit to be the instructor of our children We think the teacher's province extends beyond the mere teaching of facts and principles found within a text book. He should teach moral principles by a good example, at least. No matter how finely educated he may be, or how well he knows how to impart to others the knowledge he possesses, if his influence is such that he cannot inculcate principles of right living, be lacks some of the essential elements of the true teacher.

All women do not like housekeeping, and why should they be obliged by public sentiment to do it, if some other calling is open to them in which the work would be more agreeable?

Livermore. I'm not denyinglthat women are foolish the Lord Almighty made them to match the men. Mrs. Poyser, in Adam Bede. Household and Furnishing Goods, Novelties, NO SEX IN "SPHERES." One of the chief arguments which have been used against women going out into the world and engaging in pursuits which are congenial to them, and for which they may have a peculiar fitness, is that they usurp man's place, and Crowd him out of positions which legitimately belong to him as a man and the supporter of a family.

Those who lay the most stress on this argument usually follow it up with talk about woman out of her sphere, etc. If woman is out of her sphere in the professions, trades or different lines of business, how is it about man? A writer in the Chicago Tribune says there are hundreds of men in Chicago who are employed as cooks, dishwashers, chambermaids, dressmakers, milll- -uers iud hair tlroooors, and aro found in nearly every line of work which has for so long been done exclusively by women. Isn't it about time to stop talking about the "spheres" of either man or woman Let each do whatever they are fitted to do and what they find to be congenial and remunerative they will then have found their sphere. We sometimes hear remarks made in a slurring way about some woman, such as "Oh, she is the man of the house." If she is the business part of the all honor to her if she has the pluck and courage to assert herself and do that which she sees she is better fitted to do than is her husband. As for man, if his talents are better spent in a domestic or feminine line of employment than they would be in the trades or professions, why shouldn't he, as well as woman, do that which he is the most capable of doing? As women, we have no objection to men competing with us in any of our work; all We ask from them is just treatment and a fair chance when we enter any calling which has heretofore been monopolized by themselves.

If everybody always did whatever everybody else always expected, lije would be what the poet called a draught of dull complacency.

Neutral tints make up the great back-ground of and why not of life? The greatest mission of a poet is to inspire other human souls with high thoughts, which have been born in his own. Song for a woman is what eloquence is for a man a power without limit. There are eddies of misfortune at every bend in the stream of life; some slip past them, others fall in. Love is true religion the real damning sin is selfishness. Life has its many sides, and there is no one without its own spark of life.

Why is it that attractive, outward seeming is so seldom a sign of inward, spiritual grace. Strive to be what you wish to seem. She He talks like a book.

The formation of such societies all over the country would not only be a good thing for the defenseless and oft times necessary little creatures, but would be a boon to our pocketbooks, as in many cases the feathered adjuncts to our bonnet's trimming costs as much and sometimes more than all the rest of the material from which the bonnet is made.
