Lady Henry Somerset, President of the 131itish Woman's Temperance Association, and a delegate to the recent World's Con- ference in Boston, spoke the other after- noon before such a crowded hall as St. George's has probably never held. Every seat svas taken, and standing room was at it premium. There can be no surprise ex- pressed over the remarkable hold which Lady Somerset has won over the hearts of the women of England and America, for she is an illustrious example of the nobility ortrue womankind. Isabella, Lady Somerset, was born forty years ago in Eaatnor Castle, Leclbury, Herefordshire, the first daughter of Earl and Countess Somers, and on her father's death she inherited his vast estates, lying not only in five English counties, but also in the very heart of London. She became a shining society favorite, the de- light of the aristocratic drawing -rooms of the West End. But one day, in the midst of all the gaiety and frivolty of a particu- larly bright season, she became suddenly the victim of an inexpressible sadness and weariness. The cry of the miserable and poor seemed to have penetrated beyond the deaf usher at the magnificent portals into the house of splendor, and to have smitten her to the heart. Soon after, at the close of a little West London mission meeting at St. James' Hall in 1886, a strikingly graceful and beautiful lady arose from the congregation of shabbily dressed and dirty people. I will gladly receive into my country home some of the destitute poor in the slums of Soho," she said quietly. "Your name please 1" inquired the superintendent. Lady Henry Scinerset," came the reply. From that day Lady Somerset has worked untiringly among her multitude of tenants, numbering at least 100,000. At her castle gates she signed the pledge with forty of them. In every benevolent. and humani- tarian effort she has been a foremost leader of the women of England among the poor. A happy mother she is, too, her son accompanying her on her tour. She is also accompanied by Mrs. Hannah Whitall Smith, the Quaker preacher, Philadelphia's daughter given to London. --Philadelphia Record. A WOMAN HERCIILES. Wonderful Feats of Strength of a, Strasburg* Girl. A Leipsic correspondent of the St. Louis Post -Dispatch says : The audiences of the variety theatre of the Crystal Palace of Leipsic are agog at present over a feminine athlete, Miss Victorina. She is a daughter of the Crown Lands, having been born at Strasburg, and from the time she was 8 years old she was drilled in the arts of the circus. Miss Victorina is a handsome woman, tall, muscular and very graceful withal in the various exploits in which she exhibits her wonderful bodily strength. To lift hundreds of pounds in weights with one hand is child's play to her. She tears, bursts and cuts in two iron chains with links iainch in thickness, and stops the progress of a cannon ball by catching the missile in her hand, thus robbing it of its trajectory force. This wonderful feat of catching a cannon ball that weighs 12 pounds at a distance of ten feet from the mouth of the gun, is one lof the most wonderful performances ever witnessed by anybody. Prowess and abso- lute certainty go hand in hand with extra- ordinary strength. Loaded down with 624 pounds, a gigantic balancing rod in her hands and with heavy iron balls dangling from her body, Miss Victorina displays her almost supernatural strength to the very best advantage. She closes each daily performance in the tableau of the ironclad Germania, her body encased in a steel armor and balancing on her shoulder the barrel of an enormous cannon. Manners in Children. If we desire children to be courteous we must treat them with respect, says Eliza- beth'Scovil in The Ladies' Home Journal. They will infallibly copy our manners; so we must take care that they are the best. Let us be careful of their feelings as we wish them to be of those of others. When it is necessary, to administer reproof, let it be given in private. Many children are very sensitive on this point, and they feel acutely, although they can not put their emotions with words. . To tell a child in public that it has been rude, or lacking in good breed- ing, is as unwarrantable as it would be to tell a guest so. It is no excuse to say that we are trying to teach it to do better; we can do thisavith greater effect if we take it aside at the first convenient moment and gently point out where the error was, and what should be done the next time. The Irony of Fate. "It is singular that Jobson should marry such a useless woman as be has got. They say she can't as much as sewn button on his coat. Where did he become acquainted with her ?"

We had thought that the cult of the pretty simpleton had died awey like the cult of " sensibility" which distinguielied Miss Austen's thne, and with it the fear of the pretty woman of cultivation. We notice, however, that Mrs. Snoad, President of the Women's Progressive Society, at the end of O most sensible'and indeed able, letter ad- vising girls what to do if they find life too monotonous, published in the Daily .News of Tnesday (week), thinks it necessary to remind them and their mothers that young* women with brains and energy to use them do get married, We hear, too, on many sides that the old dread whieh thirty years since so greatly checked the progress of women's education, has again revived, and that a wave of opinion is warning mothers and young women that culture make a the latter too " formidable " to young men, and that the clever ones " miss the most natural and most fitting of women's careers. They get appointments some- times, but they never get proposals. We believe that the facts are misrepresented, and that the fear, which if well founded would rightly check education, is almost entirely without foundation. Having watched the mOvement in favor of female education from the beginning with entire impartiality—that is, with a keen dislike for the " advanced"women who want, as Mr. Frederic Harrison says, to be "abortive "to vote, and to ride astraddle, and to discuss " The Kreutzer Sonata," and a strong sympathy for the women who desire culture, and gain- ful work, and control of their own money — we think we may say confidently that to the latter, their grand profession, marriage, is in no way debarred. Attractions for attractions, they are courted just as much as their foolish sisters. They are flirted with less, partly because very young men demand in those they flirt with a certain amount of silliness, so that in flirting there may be no demand upon the intellect, and partly because of a fault of manner of which we speak below; but they receive just as many serious pro- posals. The men who can marry, and who nowadays are usually 33—a social misfor- tune, owing mainly to the late period at which the successful now retire from active life—are men of a certain experience and by no means fools. They are attracted by good looks, whether in the foolish or the wise virgins, and are carried away by unusual beauty, as they were in the days of Helen, and will be when the world cools; but they are quite conscious of the advantage possessed by the sensible and the cultivated. They know what terrible bores ignorant girls can be—we do not mean by " ignorance " mere want of famili- arity with learning—how utterly unreason- able they often are, and how much more liable they are in middle life to grow acrid, snappish, or positively ill-tempered. There is no one so perverse as the woman without intellectual interests whose situation hap- pens to be at variance with her ideas of comfort, or who, being comfortable, is con- scious of the faint contempt, or rather, slight avoidance of those around her. Women are perfectly well aware when men listen from politeness alone'and . those among them to whom that lotfalls grow as bitter as some disappointed spinsters. The men of thirty-three know perfectly well how great a part friendship plays in married life, how it deepens affection, and how diffi- cult it is to feel friendship for a woman whose early charm has passed, who does not understand onn word in six you say, and who can neither sympathize With failure nor understand why you have suc- ceeded. Camaraderie'one of the most delightful of all the bonds of union, is impossible between the able and the silly. The men, too, are aware that it. is the clever girls, not the simpletons, who are free from the senseless extravagance which is perhaps, of all the foibles which are not exactly vices, the most permanently irritating in wives. That thing, a least, culture has done for the majority of cultured women it has taught them how to count. Here and there, perhaps, may be found the "Nina " of Mr. Norris' clever story, "Matrimony," the competent and cultured woman to whose selfihsness expen- diture seems a necessity, and who is only not extravagant when she has six thousand a year, who will plunder her father without remorse, and keep her mother without a shilling ; but the immense majority of culti- vated girls are economical. Frugality is their road to independence. They could not live their lives if they cost their fathers too much, and they learn to know the value of pounds, to avoid debt with horror, and to see that discount is allowed them if they pay ready -money. They are not, per- haps, devoted to "housekeeping" as some of the unlettered are, meaning, three times out of five, endless and harrassing inter- ference with their servants; but they can keep house, when they know their incomes, at an outlay well within them. The men understand that by a kind of instinct, our system of courtship allowing little chance of real knowledge—the American system does, and the Canadian—and they know, too, another thing which appeals still tlirectly to their self-love. They know what it is to be bored. There is no bore on earth equal to the woman who can neither talk nor Ifsten who has no mental interests in common With her hus- band, who thinks his friends satirical because they attend to her with a faint sense of amused amazement, and who gathers round her all women except those whose intelligence relieves life of its monotony and sense of strain.—London Spectator. The Virginia Debt. A proposition for the settlement of the Virginia State debt has been agreed upon by a committee acting on behalf of the creditors and the Sate Debt Cominission representing the State. The proposition covers art issue of $19,000,000 of bonds, to run for 100 years, bearing 2 per cent. inter- est for 5 years, 2.4 per cent. for five years, and 3 per cent. .for the remaining ninety years. The settlement will have to be ratified by the creditors and by the Vir- ginia Legislature; but as it is satisfactory to the parties making it, it is likely to be agreed upon finally. It will involve the relinquishment of $28,000,000 of old debt for $19,000,000 of new, the creditors losing the difference. A Hint to the Reporter.

The Chicago Berea of the 5th Oct. has the following : Two hundred miles or more north of Toronto, Canada, and thirty.three miles away from a railroad station, surrounded by dense forests of hemlock and spruce, lies Lake Ah-Mik. There are numerous islands in the lake, one of which, by its peculiar shape, has long been known as Umbrella, Island. It rises like the round top of a huge umbrella to a height of 200 feet, and its twelve acres are thickly covered with trees and shrub a from base to summit. Other names have been given to this little island, surveyors solacing it on their maps as island "B " for convenience sake, but henceforth it will be known as St. Bernard's Island. The formal christening has not yet occurred, but that makes little difference to the mem- ber's of the St. Bernard Dominion Cluls, of Chicago. Such is the title of an organization to which the Secretary of State yesterday granted articles of incorporation. Among the incorporators are John G. Neumeister, H. 0. Shepard, Capt. H. G. Purinton, Col. Henry Turner and others. These gentlemen have formed the St. Bernard Dominion Club within the membership of St. Bernard Commandery, Knights Templars, restricting its number to fifty. Thirty-six have already allied themselves with the organization. Its purpose is purely social, a.nd it inception is due in part to the visit made last summer to Hamilton, Ont., by the famous drill corps of St. Bernard Commanclery. Capt. Purin- ton was the first of the number to discover the beauties of Lake Ah- Mik when there on a fishing and hunting trip last year. His enthusiasm persuaded several members of the com- manderyto visit the lake diming their i sojourn n Hamilton last summer, and that was how it all came about. There were fish to be caught for the trouble of casting a fly. Moose and deer, bears and wild -eats and almost every other torm of game abounded in the vicinity of Lake Ah.Mik, and somebody of a poetic turn made a suggestion that Um- brella Island was a good place for "a lodge in shme vast wilderness.' Before the idea had grown old the St. Bernard Dominion Club- was evolved, and last week the purchase of Umbrella Island was completed for a mere song. Archi- tect Jenney was consulted, and soon had planned a cottage for the summer Mecca of the Club. In style the cottage will be unique, being constructed with an exterior of rough logs. One wing will be 60 feet long, the other 48 feet long, each being 21 feet in width. Twelve sleeping chambers will occupy the upper story, anda large parlor, dining -room and kitchen will take up the space of the ground floor. The in- terior finish will be of polished woods, the entire cost being estimated at $5,000. Large verandas will surround two sides of the cottage, and there is where the members of the Si. Bernard Dominion Club, with their families and friends, expect to spend many O pleasant summer in the future. Many pilgrimages will also be made to Lake Ah- Mik during the winter season by those who are devotees of the chase.

Readers may remember the story of the plucky Mayoress of Kiowa, in Kansas, who was elected as a joke, and who turned the laugh the other way by closing all the saloons in accordance with the State law and refusing to resign, even when asked to do so in a petition signed by every man in town. A recent despatch brings informa- tion that she has given up the fight and resigned. She could stand the indignation of the men' even when the malcontents were headedby her own husband, but when the women went back on her she weakened. The conflict between material considera- tions and moral ideas was more violent than usually in the case. It seems that Kiowa depends on its business prosperity on the patronage of the ranclunen and. cow- boys of the surrounding country. When the "joints " were closed by order of the mayoress a boycott was instituted against the place, and the merchants saw their profits dwindle until ruin stared them in the face. The stare of ruin is an un- comfortable thing to face, and it is small wonder that the citizens of Kiowa felt uneasy. But when the men were in open revolt the mayoress had still the aid and comfort of the Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union, and with this backing she felt that she was justified in continuing her course though the heavens should fall. When the fall styles appeared and the women of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union discovered that the money for the refurnishing of their wardrobes was not con- tained, as usual, in the pocketbooks of their husbands, their ideas touching the sale of liquor and the majesty of the law undersvent a change. They began to talk. What they saki has not been recorded in detail, but whatever it was, it made the mayoress squirm in her chair of office, and at last forced her to the unwilling conclusion that women have no business in office. She had appealed in vain to the lovers of law and order, to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and to the governor and attorney -general of the state. Single-handed she fought a gallant battle for right against might, and her glory should be no ray the less beaause she did not win. What could be done she did. The monotonous annals of Kiowa will be illuminated for all time by the administration of plucky Mayoress Pax- ton. —Albany journal. Ingredients for a Sermon.

This wave-like motion of the tracer. is made use of to produce similar motion in. another tracing apparatus at the other end. of the line by means of complicated electri- cal mechanism, and each depression an& elevation in the picture is reproduced in a. waxen cylinder on the receiving instrument. To accomplish this it is necessary to go en- tirely over the picture that is being trans- mitted, tracing lines across the surface. A. single line conveys no idea of the picture, but as they follow each other they gradu- ally outline the object. FITS.—All Fits stopped free by Dr. Kline' Great Nerve Restorer.
