The reivim must come, if it coma at all, as all changes in feminine farbloos do, lo a mysterious and Inexplicable way. We know when the change es pace, bo what was it on, in or its predisposing cause no one can tell. Of One thing, however, we may be reasonably cer- tain and that la, that if women la the civilized world once adopt short sklets for aut-door waar they will never revert to long ones.

PUGNISM.

A French painter traces the art of writlag to the attempt of primitive nations to represent obj cts by means of rude pictures, but the origia of pulliam would be less easy to determine. Man has not always been a "tool-making animal." and ages before the first savage con- ceived the idea of defending himself with a club our ape-like forefathers most bare fought after the manner of their Duwinian relatives, with their claw and fists. The larger specis of car tree-climbing consins can, indeed, dispense with Gudge's. A gorilla can stun a leopard with a single blow, and Captain Charles Baldwin, la bis description of the Natal hill conntry, speaks of a baboon that killed two hounds by anatching them up by their bind lège and, swinging them in a circle illi chele bones cricked.

Even after the Introduction of words, boxing remained a chief test of physical prewan. Ä club might break ar slip from the rip of ita owner, but a victory win in a boxing or wrestling maich could, te accepted an conclusive proof historian Xenophon is of superter strength. The bist perhaps not qulie wrong to suggesting that the physic degeneration of the Persian and ether Auric notions Inclined them to prefer dagger combats to pugilim, We find a similar preference among the modern Greeks and their South European neighbert, and exalted ethles were perhaps not the only motiver that led to the temporary boycott'i pugilism among the British aristocrais. At the very time when the triumpho of Byron and Welllegion marked the high tide of Anglo-Saxon supremacy, Lord Lowther treated the lied sovereigns to a series of bexing matches in his drawing-room, and Prince Lich. tenstein. In recording the applause of the dis- tinguished rembly, remarks that "only the caprice of fashion could have led to the neglect of auch sports in countries where their popularity o're almest amrunted in a passion,"

In ancient Greece that parion certalnie valled the love of the fine art Boxing lessons were included in the education of nobles and princes well as of military cadets. Proficiency in pugliem is mentioned among the accomplish- mer 19 of numeris herees as one of their cblet claim to im pri fame; nay, the gods them selves were suppose to have opened their Olempe Club halls to sev ral first-class boxers, and in an ar ument with Mr. Grundy the admirer of Grecian lim Corbelt could have quoted the precedent of Pollox and Hercules

You mean she has no husband?

I mean she is unmarried; which is somewhat more comprehensive.

She is Independent of men, then?

As independent as women ever art. Aren't they all so ?

They want to be ; or they say they do. Don't women always say what they mean 7-- Not always,

How is it in this instance ?

This one is rich, and a rich unmarried woman can say and do what she pleases, regardless of the men, to a great extent.

She could marry then if she so desired ? Oh, yes, money is quite attractive to most men seeking wives.

Can't a poor woman marry if she wants to ? The woman doesn't live, i fancy, who has not had a proposal of marriage some time Is ber life.

Then why doesn't she marry? A woman doesn't marry for the mere sake of marrying, as a role.

As an exception, does she?

There are some exceptions. Why?

Because some unmarried women, or their parents or guardians have an Iden that it is not the proper thing to become an old maid,
