A CHARACTER SKETCH.
Does he ever wash? is (says a L ndon
writer) the first th,ought when one niers
his presence. D ,es he ever do any hing
but smoke, and drink coffee and spit?
It is very early in the 'morning, not yet
six. He is seated on the stoop (pore) as
two soldiers announce your name. Aleeady
he has listened to the morning paper, read
to him by that notorious person, Celonel
Ferreira.
You mark the heavy jowl, the S+iitic
nose, the broad insincerity of the blue eye,
the thin white hair greasily flowing in folds,
with anxious endeavor to conceal • the dirty
circle of coatcollar.
Again you wonder, does he ever wash !
The heavy figure of a Lincolnshire farmer
is ctad in decayed black. Loose flapping
coat, a high buttoned waistcoat, the Wide,
flat -fronted trousers, all bear the marks of
coffee, tobacco juice, and wear. Most ex-
traordinary of all, verging on the grotetque,
is he when adorned with the green scerf of
office, like a past master of some friendly
society.
There is no majesty, there is no greatness,
there is nothing attrative, the fore of
character is not apparent. He doe not
speak to you ;he roars at you. His fo cible
remarks are punctured by resou ding
blows on his knee, or on the unlucky »ter-
preter, whicheeler ooma handy. Th fer-
vour of his beliowings occasionally re eases
the brown pipe -stem from the °tut h of
browner teeth.
The humour of the m n is irascible, the
manner overbearing. ears of absolute gov-
erning and enormons w „alth have engender-
ed an intolerant epi it of domineering.
Were he not a presiden he might haveisue-
cieeded as a philosopher With all the vices
of Epictetus he lacks any Of his virtues.
An arrogant appearanc of humility con-
sciously parades all th rugged independ-
ence of a fakir in the leader of a republic.
Since he cannot dazzle he attempts to in-
spire a superstitious aw ; -and, too little to
appear great in the ord nary habit and man-
ner of man, he magniflez himself by increas-
ing his idiosyncrasies, nd propagates his
character by the foree if his peculiarities.

Advice to the Girls,
Seldom has the domestic help 'problem
been touched upon in a more sensible, prac•
tical manner than by Mr. John- Clharltop,
M. P,, in a recent lecture at Tilsonburg, a on
"Conditions of Success in Life." It is
worth giving word for word. .
"1 have never been able to draw the line
between what constituters genteel occupa-
tion and its reverse ih females, so long as all
are honest and honorable. I consider any
kind of respectable work genteel, in the
true and highest sense. Many avenues are
now open to young ladies which they were
formerly not able to aeail themselves of.
In fact, there are few of the callings in life,
except those requiring the exercise o
strength and involving exposure' and hard-
ship, to which women are not eligible.
They can become clerks in the stores and
other business houses, stenographers, type
writer operators, operatives, dressmakers,
and last, but not least, housekeepers.
With regard to this latter class of female
employees some strange notions exist, and
theae notionnare the parents of prejudice
of a most absurd and unfounded nature. I
I had the power I would ebolish-the expres
. shin 'servant; girl.' and give to them the
proper appelation of housekeepers. Why
the care of a house, upon the proper per
formance of which the welfare and comfor
of a family depende, should baconsidered a
menial occupation, while stitching dresses,
working in factories, acting as clerks, ete.,
is considered higher work, is beyond my
comprehension. The distinctions aro ab.
surd. I think the art of housekeeping
should be placed at the had of the list of
female employments. I well remember,
when a boy, that these dietinctions had no
existence. The daughters .. of farmers,
where there were more girls at home than
were required to do the work, took psi-
tiene with other families where help was
needed. They were designated not servant
girls, but hired girls. Their social position
was s good as that jof the . datighters of
their employer. GiIlJs of the eery best
famil es in the country, possessed of intel-
ligaieni e, refinement aid the most desirable
gu
ies that. grace vomanhood, were not
abov accepting oocitpation in this line.
They were as likely tto marry the sons of
their employers as otherwise. There was
no se vent girl question then, no difficulty
abou obtaining efficient fassistanee. Now

her in the spirit she manifests. I pity the

fioulty qf obtaining satisfactory aseietance

tions, which are false and unnatural in a.

. The Ministerls Son.
. •
Dick Sutherland was the son of a well-
known Established church minister in the
south of Scotland. With he proverbial
wildnese of the sons of clergymen, he, when
about 20 years f age, got into trouble,
threw up his ool ego career, and ran off to
sea, leaving be ind him a note for his
father, saying t at he was going away, and
biddingehim not to vex himself about bis
unworthy son, r try to find him, as he
would be all rig t, and meant to turn over
a new leaf and b a better man.
Ten years pats ed and no further message
had come from the prodigal. Mr. Suther-
land had, unfortunately, invested his lit-
tle all in purchasing shares in the City of
Glasgow bank. :•11.1very one knows the tragic
story ofits gigantic failure and the ruin
that it brought to thousands. The p or
minister faithfullp gave up every penny e
possessed-evenhis household furnitijre
had to go.
On the day of he sale a 'bronzed' and
beardecl\etranger appeared on the sceee,
and, no matter how high the ministee's
effects went, bought everything. At the
close of the day t e long -lust son present d
to his fttherthe1 entire furniture of tlhc
manse, much of i doubly dear to the cld
man on account of its associations. The
wanderer had retnrned a wealthy man, able
and willing to restore to his parent all that
the bank had rob ed him of.

One Thing at a Time.
Mr. Gladetone'a daughter, Mrs. Drew,
is reported as saying that the earliest sen-
tenee from her father's lips when a . boy,
which attracted the attention of the family
and was remembered, was spoken when he
was interrunted at his lessons by a nurse
who broUght him a dose of medicine.
"Take it away, Teaid the boy. "How
can I do to things at once ?" Mr. Glad-
stone did many things in the course of his
long and laborious life; so many things
and such different things that he has aston-
ished his generation, accustomed as it has
become to the fruitfulness and activity of
old men ; but his succees was due to the
fact that although he did many things, he
did them one at a time. If a single word
were to be taken to characterize Mr. Glad.
stone's temper, not only as a thinker butaas
a worker, it would probably be intensity.
His interest covered a great variety of /pub-
jeets, but he dealt with one subject at a
time, and the secret of his ability to handle
with such power, so many widely dissever-
ed themes has lain in the fact that, through
all the diversity of his work, he preserved
inta;ct his power of concentration. No man
can do two thinge at the same time and do
them well. Nothing is well done, in the
higher sense, which is not done with a
man's whole soul. The dexterity which ea-
ables a man to do two different things with
his hands at the same time is purely
mechanical ; there is, and can be no soul in
it. What a man does with his soul he does
with intensity and concentration -every
power within him focused on a single point,
every energy flowing in a single current.
This power of concentration and intensity .
of work were the strong qualities of the

Why Wear Hats ?
Mr. W. L. Alden, writing on "Life's
Little Mtsterics, " has some wise and witty
words- to say on the practice of wearing
hats.
" Why do both men and women persist
in wearing hats ? There are three reasone
why we Ehohld wear clothes. We may
wear them for the sake of decency ' - for
the sake of warmth, or for the' sake ofdis-
play. None of these re sons apply to the
wearing of hats. Of co rse, there are head
coverings that are warn- such as the Ice -
lender's sealskin hood r the fisherman's
toque ; but as a rule there is no real
warmth in the hat of ei er sex. When a
woman pins a slight etr entre of straw arid
artificial flowers on the op of her hair she
never for a moment ima incs that the thing
wifl keep her from takil g cold. The mas-
culine top hat is certain warm on a hot
day, but it is very far om warm in cold
weanber. '
"Neither are hats wo .n for the purpose
of display. Doubtless ere are times .when
women make the hat t occasion of dis-
playing their fondues for dead birds,
'muslin flowers and othe beautiful objects,
but this is only when shion has decreed
that big hats shill be w rn. At other times
the female hat is so icroscopally email
that it could not be s ccessfully used for
displaying anything. As for men' d hats,
they never display a ything except the
atrocious taste which makers them fashion-
able. Why, then, in t e name of' all that is
eensible, do men and omen wear hats?
The only result obtainei by wearing hats is
early baldness. lhe m dical profession is
unanimous in this opini n, and it will hard-
ly be contradicted. ed wear hats, and
nine in every ten, in consequence, are more
or less_bald. If we should give u , at once
and forever, the wearinglof hats, lid should

heads sufficiently to prote ti the scalp from
the mid-day sun, we ghoul all have abund-
ant hair, and the business f those hearties'
people who make their livi tg by prdmising
that their hair lotions wil force hair to
grow would be justly ruin d.
"A. a rule, every man id woman looks
better without a hat than ith one. This
ie why we all take off our i ats at the opera
or at an evening party,. And yet we din
to a custom that has not a word to b sai
in its behalf. We persist in - wearin the
ugly, useless and injurious hat. W y do
we do it? I should like to find a good
Irish echo that would ansieer the qu stion
at length and in a satisfactbry way."

The First Iror Plow.
Inwould be difficult to e y who madis the
first iron plow; but in Sco laud, it coia tem-
porary says, the inventor was a hlmble
Scotch blacksmith named William Allan.
His modesty was so great that, after he had
made his fiist plow, and it did satisfactory
work on his own farm, he dealined to make
a second for neighboring gentlemen on the
plen that he was not as god a blacksmith
as the gentlemen ought to iave, and recom-
mended a neighbor of hs named. Gray.
The latter became rich 4t the business,
while Allan remained as po r a+a ever, though
before his death his style o plow was in use
all over the United Kingd ma
