"You should not have given up your Sunday school class." "1 had to; the boys are getting to be such big fellows, and they ask such embarrassing questions One of them asked me to marry him." One way to prevent delicate and sweet scented {flowers from flagging is to cut them with several leaves on the stem, and, when the head is placed m water, to allow only its head to remain above the water, While the leaves are entirely submerged. By this means the leaves seem to help support the flower, which will then last for three days m a fairly cool room. A little salt m the water is also a good thing. At; the hearing of the appeal m the Clitheroe case, Mr Jackson's counsel (who has since been made .*; Judge, m place of Sir James Stephen) caused some amuse ment m court by citing the old law that the husband was entitled to administer " reasonable correction " to the wife." A wife m Barnsley left her husband and took rofuge m her father's house. The husband broke op en the door, seized his wife* and carried her home. He was charged before the magistrates with as saulting her, but was discharged. The husband's solicitor said the case resembled the Clitheroe abduction, and "they had no legal decision as to the amount of violence a man might use m securing his wife. The Kansas girl seems to be the most wonderful product of the United States. She can fplay the piano, cio the house work, teach school, drive racehorses, and hit th« bull's-eye every time with a six shooter. One of these all-round young; women during one spring helped to plant one hundred and twenty acres of corn, did the housework for a family of seven, went to ten dances, tried twice to elope, and taught the most interesting class m the village Sunday school. Lent m London no longer means the cessation of festivities. The custom seems to be m some "smart circles" to makes th* season as lively as possible, le.st they should be considered superstitious. The , only concession made is that entertain ments are on a somewhat smaller scale than at other seasons. Some of the High Cliuich dignitaries are said to be much shocked at this social disregard of the Lenten season, and before it is over the " revellers " will be severely treated from more than one pulpit. Unfortunately, m such cases the preacher cannot often "get at" tho sinner. A good many people keep away from «hurch now, lest the world should farcy they desired to pose as "respectable." This is fin de stecle religion ! Poor Ned had married a professional beauty, and was inclined to think that marriage was a failure after"* all "I hurry home from the office," said he, "hoping t«> have a delightfxifctetc-a-tete with my wife before dinner. She is not to be found ! ' Where is Mrs M. ?' I in quire of one «f the servants, 'Gone to have her hair shampooed, to take a Turk ish bath, and to be manicured..' At last she makes her appearance. I rush up to kiss her, when she shrieks out, ' No, no, dear Ned ; my complexion is under treat ment.. Kiss me on the hair.' When at last we find ourselves alone, I attempt to draw her to me, and take her m my arms, as I used to dd when she was my sweetheart. Another suppressed war whoop ! *No no, tiny dear boy, not now. I have on a corset plastique, and must not bend over.' When once she is dressed I don't even care ta touch the tips of her fingers for fear of spoiling their polish ; and when we return from some stupid dinner, and are finally ready for bed, I foolishly imagine that a good night kiss is at last.in order* "No no, dear Ned ;on my hairpieawe. I'm all smeared up with creme de la Heine ! Professor iEneas Cute warns me [thai I am losing the velvety down of my skin, all from neglect of using his cream.'" Poor Ned ! his marriage was really a failure !

PROVERBS ABOUT WOMEN.

The proverbs of most countries are rich m all subjects relating to women, al though frequently they are far from com plimentary. Indeed, it is curious that m this branch of literature we should find so much ill-natured sarcasm—oftentimes as unjust as it is untrue. According to a well-known Italian adage, "Whatever a woman will, she 'can "—a saying which has its 'equivalent m other countries, JJence, too, ye are warned how— •' The man's a fool who thinks by force or skill To stem the torrent pf a..woman's will; For if she will, she will, you may depend on't, And if she "won't the won't, and there's an end on't? The notion that a woman cannot keep a s«cret is embodied m many a proverb, and ia alluded to by Shakespere, who makes Hotspur say to hu wife, m " Henry IV." : " Constant yon are, But yet a woman : and for secrecy No lady closer; for I well believe Thou wilt not utter what them dost not know. And so far I will trust thee, gentle Kate." Mr Kelly remarks, m his little book on proverbp—" If there be truth m pro*, c bs, men have no right to reproach women for blabbing. A woman can at least keep her own secret. Try her on the subject of her >ge." The industry of womin has long' ago become proverbial, as m the couplet: j " The woman that's honest, her chiefest de- i light Is still to be doing from morning till night." With which we may compare the common maxim, '**. A. woman's work is i^ever at an end." 'Qn tie other hjind, it was formerly i said' pf the' woman Wlioi after being a b^ay.'ihd^H^qHsmarid,' b'e'eame f,n indo- Iqnttpfej Y'She "hn{n b,rQ]ce:ivher'elbow at tfie church ajjor,"-'"the ceremony at the pqrcH—wliere oftentimes part of ijie marriage service was unrfonned—hav ing disabled her frpm domestic duties. Thus another adage affirmed how — " The wife that expects to have a good name Is always at home, as if she were lame." According to our forefathers, it did no* 1 look well for a woman to be always sight seeing, as such was an indication that she was not sufficiently domesticated and was too fond of pleasure. Hence, it was usually said ;— ... ',! A'Voman oft seen, a gown oft worn, 'Ar# dis<tetecuned and held m scorn." J?yen at the present day, according to a weU-kn'own Yorkshire proverb, " V zonk- Ijow.n (a gossip isseldom a good hoir twife at hbme.' T Many of our proverbs s^eaK of ilie'^ckleqess of woman, but surely 1 this is a libel bn* their constancy : l ~ f * The J'jve of a. s\ otnau Hud a bottle of wine Arc sweet |or a sejwoii ami last for a time. 1' Qur adage tells us how " Mj|ids say nay a^d tnke-r-a kisH, n ring, or any offer cf n^arriuge." On the sjune principle it has commonly'said—"Take-'a woman's first advio« aj)4 not her second/

Amongst some of the many othec pro verbs relating to women is the faitiiliar • one : — '' There's no mischief m the world done, But a woman is always one." ; This is a somewhat severe judgment, and one which must be received with caution. According lo another adage, "Women m mischief nre wiser than men," and it was also said that " Women's jars ; breed men's wars." The Germans have the following variation of this probwh— "There's no mischief done m the world but there's a woman or a priest at the bottom of it." ■'..'.
