"The average American man Is just sti

guilty conscience tells hina It is not

bethe keynote of the wide r~nd general
effort on the part of lovely woman to
reform and improve the weaker and
inferior sex.
The ancient proverb that "more flies
are caught with honey than with vine
gar" applies equally to the miale htu- e
man fly, but Mrs. Ewing appears to
be the only refornmer, so far as is *
known,. who appreciates the value and
the application of the adage. In pri- *
r-ate life this method of man-tamiing is
widely understood and practiced. Why 0

Too Severe a Test. 0
An eccentric clergyman in Cornwty *
was much annoyed by the habit which 0
some members of his congregation had i
of looking round to see late comers. B
After enduring it for somec time he
said, on entering the reading-desk one
day:
"Brethren, I regret to se-' that your
attention Is called away from y-our
religious duties by y-our ve ry natural
desire to see who conies in beindiWi
you. I propose henceforth to save you
the troub~le by naming each person Ell
who comes in late."
He then began: "Dearly beloved." ,sha
but paused1 half way to inlterp~olate,.
"Mr. S., with his wife and daughter." LO
Mr. S. looked greatly surprised, but -
the minister, with perfect gravity, re
sumed. Presently lie agt~in pautsed:W

The abashed congregattion kept their fo
eyes fixed on their books. -The service on ir
proceedled in the mlost ord~erly manner, mac:
the" parson interriupting himiself every
now andI then to announce someit late ,
conmer. At last lie said, still with the
same perfect gravity: ''
"Mrs. S., in a new bonnet."th
