THE OLD LADY'S QUESTION. An old lady was taken by the night boat to Ireland for a holiday by her daughters. She had never been on a vessel before, and was the recipient of plenty of advice from her daughters as to what she had to do, etc. Just before going aboard, one of the young ladies handed the boat ticket to her mother, saying : "Now, if we get separated from you during the voyage, you have ticket." They,did get separated, for the old lady began exploring on her own account, and finally settled down in :he first-class quarters without much ado. When tickets came to lie esfivvlrifid. the old lady tendered hers. The !.ian looked at it, and then told her she was in the wrong end of the boat. "The other end! with that ticket," he said. "Why ?" questioned the eld lady, in surprise. "Isn't this end going ?" A woman with a masculine mind Is not a being of superior efficiency ; die is simply a phenomenon of imperfect difierentiation— interestinigly barren and without importance.— Jag-enh .CLonrad.
