It is not quite possible for me to run away from the conviction that there is lot of cant in thanking God for af flictions. 1 never knew a man to be lifted out a groveling condition by marriage with a woman whom he knew to be his superior.

There is no denying that Roast Beef and Piper Heidsieck" are both good. And both, I hope, offer something in the wav of proof that life is worth living. I have many times observed the superior tact with which woman adapts herself to her environment. Indeed, her impulse in that direction is instinc tive.

The Creator endowed birds with a knowledge of the time to migrate. I assume that the creation theory is equally applicable to woman as explana tory of her natural desire to fly from base surroundings. Debasement 13 unnatural to woman. The outcast is, perhaps, reckless of her good fame lost; but it is only in the last stage of woman descent into the social hell that she becomes indifferent to those refinements that make her sex attractive. Reputations for profound thought are sometimes gained by intellectual confidence men.

The checks they give on the bank of brains show big figures on their face, but they do not yield the coin. The profoundest thought has no dubious meanmg. Mothers seldom stop to think that despotic rule of their daughters nag ging and irritating sentmelship of every step is by reflection a pelf-in sult They needed Argus watching. therefore their daughters are as little trustworthy.

Signor Max, in Detroit Free Press. Rare Ben Jcnson's Duel. Of the many documents that have come into the hands of John Cordy Jeaffreson few are of greater literary interest, none is more painful, than the record which proves that in his early manhood Ben onson was convicted of felony on his own confession that he escaped an ignominious death by pleading his clergy that he was punished for this felony with forfeiture of his goods and chattels, and was, moreover, branded on the brawn of his left thumb with the letter by the jailer of New gate in the Old Bailey Court House before it was enlarged, in accordance with a well-known statute of the lf-th of Elizabeth. The letter was known to Londoners of this period no less than to Londoners of much later times as "the Tyburn The felony was his manslaughter of Gabriel Spencer, his fellow-actor, at the Rose Theater, committed on the 22d of September, 1598 the very month in which Every Man in His Humor was pro duced, William Shakspeare being among the actors of the company. It is further learned that the poet fought with a three-shilling rapier, that he wounded Spencer in the right side, and that Spencer died instantly in the dueling field.

There is something grimly fantastic in the notion of so good a scholar as Ben Johnson "asking for the book, in order to prove himself capable of reading his neck verse something grotesquely horrible in the thought that but for benefit of clergy so bright a genius would have been hung at Tyburn like any unletter ed rascal convicted of having stolen a horse or stabbed an enemy in the back. One would like to beheve that onson was marked with nothing fiercer than a lukewarm iron. If ihe satirist of later period may be believed, it was not uncommon for a jailer in the middle of the seventeenth century, from regard for a promised fee, to mark a felon with cold steel. It would be pleasant to come upon evidence that Ben's jailer marked him accidentally with a cold seal. The Athenaum.
