LAZINESS.

HOW TO CURE THE INSTINCT.

John Blunt, the Daily Mails, well; known contributor writes:

When a man at Hereford was; the other day, charged with begging it was stated that he was too lazy to draw the dole which reminds me of Tennyson's line,And faith unfaithful kept him falsely true," though perhaps begging as a substitute for drawing the dole, is not deserving of even negative praise

DAME MILLICENT FAWCETT. PIONEER OF WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE.

[BY EDITH SHACKLETON.] Nearly 70 years ago a little girl, watch, ing older girls dressing for a dance in a Suffolk country house, heard one of them say, in defence of a criticised husband, "But look how he dresses her!"
