. COMMENT AND GOSSIP "AMONG

THE WOMEN. BY ONE
~ OF THEM.

Was it Schopenhauer who said that
the surest way to bean unhappy' man
was to go through life expecting to be

' ' very happy?

7 If so, the pessimistic philosopher was
not far wrong. ‘ Great-as are the-pleas-

. arcs of anticipation, they rarely come

to us after early youth is past, whereas

' expectation has to answer for more

sorrow than anything else in the world,
for were it non-existent, its twin-spirit,
disappointment, would have no power
to blight us. ' '

I suppose we know but few people
who may be called the non-expecting
-—folks who take kindness or good for-
tune ;in a gentle, surpriSed sort of way,
as though they had hot really thought

' to see such luck.

._ They are the placid, happy ones; who
go through life smiling, ever grateful
for what comes to them. But, Oh, the
Expectants! What a trial they are, to
themselves and to everybody else!

' Think of the heart-burnings, the bit-

terness, the jealousies, the disputes

' that come from impossible claims!

Women, alas! are worse Ofienders in
this respect than men, who early begin
to 'get jostled by their fellows in the
journey Of life, ' and so have their ex-
crescences of exaggeration and con--
ceit rubbed off. Men, too, have more
sense Of just-ice than'we have. ,

There are not many men who fancy
that the world revolves around them.
Whengamandoes think that, he is, of
course, insufferable. But-is 4 it- not
,rreally rather a common feminine
delusion. " ' -

Hence many tears, and hence also
much discontent with very' tolerable
lots. Of course, nobody who expected
a crown of diamonds is content with a
mere rose for the‘ adornment of what

.may, after all, be a very commonplace
and by no means beautiful head.

It is a pity we expect. so much. Who
told us that everybody should love us,
or that we were always to get our own
way? To spoil our lives by never
appreciating the good things that we
do getis to be as foolish as the politi-
cians of whom the Irish orator said,
“They keep cutting the. wool off the

sheep that lays the'golden eggs until
they pump it_dry.’l""9

And I don’t think we even recognize
the goose that lays the golden eggs for
us, unless we do so after she has flown
away. , “I don’t know what I want, but
I’m sure I haven’t got it, and so I don’t
care for anything I have,” might be
the motto of many women.

’ . ' Surgery on Shiites.

' Snakes in captivity, it seems, some-'
times, find difficulty in getting rid of
the skin Which is shed every year. An
Hustrialian diamond snake in the Bom-
lisy Museum, which appeared likely to
succumb, was quite blind and re-
fused all food. A European sympa-

snake keeper into service to hold the

snake, and himself, with a pair of,

sharp-pointed scissors, performed the
delicate and risky operation of Clip
ping away the‘ membrane which ad-
hered to the eyes.

:3. M. Phlpson, editor of the Journal
of the Bombay Natual History Soci-
ety, performed a far more dangerous
Operation a couple of years ago. His
patient was a large' hamadryad, or
king cobra, the most vicious and poi-
sonous of all Indian snakes, and a
most powerful creature'to boot. Mr.
Pliipsoh gripped the king cobra round

the neck and a. native literally held on,

for his life further down, and when
the reptiles struggles were over 'a third
man, armed with a surgeon's scalpel,
removed eight layers of membrane
from each eye—London Sketch.

Too Many Changes.
“It’s hard to tell just what to do,”
said the man who was sitting on the
back porch in his shirt sleeves.

such brilliant prospects opening up all
over the world," remarked the next
door neighbor, who was mending a
hole in the fence.

“Yes. But supposing I had gone to
the Klondike? I'd be so far away
now that I couldn't go and help de.
velop Cubs. And it I go to Cuba I'll
miss a chance to go when the next
rich territory opens up. There's no
use of trying to deny it. This is a
bar-glue.“ ,.

And then he tilted his chair back
against the wall and went to sleep.—

Fashionable Ens-Rings. ‘

The latest fashion news from the
jewellers is that Paris and London
lapidaries are making history repeat
itSelt in the setting forth of ear-rings;
not the little drop screws and knobs so
long worn, but the pendant, Yi'ctorian
ornaments, such asher Majesty wore
in her young days, and still elects
when it pleases her. These barbaric-

' looking accessories are no more likely

to succeed on this side or the water
than 'the Victorian bonnet, which was
donned by so few women that wearing
it rendered them exceedingly conspic-
nous.

New ClOths for Outdoor ’Costnmen.

The newest vicuna cloths for trav-
elling, yachting, and cycling are wide
diagonals of very fine, soft wool,
roughly woven, in a single color such
as gray, blue, or fawn, and notably in
navy blue,’ or else in two shades of a.
color. More novel than these are the
pretty diagonals in contrasting colors,

greemwith brown'or violet, gray with
gross or silver, blue with white" or al-

mond. Raised silk cords form stripes
in black or dark brown on sheer light-
weight wools of delicate summer c0-
ioring. -" -

have counted the cash on hand held by the Cashier. , .

And the Committee certify that all the books, papers, documents, and evidence of title Of every description neces-
in such examination have been freely submitted to the Committee by the said officers and their assistants, and that

sary

and methods adopted by the Company in recording its transactions and caring for the. assets are entitled to commendation
