A small volume might be compiled of the anachronisms and other slips made by great authors. Shakespeare had a peculiar facllit) tor making the imposrdole happen in his piays and h. mattered anachronisms With a prodigal hand. One of his most remarkabie feats is making Desdemona, aftt sbj has been smothered proj.-rly by the Moor, regain her breath and enter into a rational conversation, even inventing a tou falsehood to shield her jealous l.usbar.d before she tinatly decides die. The impossibility of a person who has bf-en smotherei regaining Consciousness and sp t.li. and thn dying alter having done so scarcely needs pointing out.

Dickens in "Hard Times' speaks of the Great Bear and.

It is now generally recr gnized that tbe can sue.- BSfully perform th' duties of many of tlM subordinate places, and the-, have often shown eminent fitness and high quality in their work. In 1870 an act of Congress provided that women might, in the uncrewp oi ine be appointed to the departin Dt .'.nd conditions . a- i . . . head of any department, any of the clerkships in upon the same requisites and with the same compensations. preSCribed for men. This Magna Charta for women in the c'vil service is recognised In the civil-service laws and rules, which makes no discrimination on account Of sex. From July ISO; to June 90, I860, there were appointed in the classified service In the d partments at Washington, through Competitive axamination. 2M temahs. This number include. i U90O printers' assistants in the Bureau of Engraving and Priming, al a compensation of V.- per diem, which is the lowest salary paid to women in the classified service.

The professor was a leader in whatever community he might cast his lot. His funetion was not merely to teach the young Idea how to shoot. It was broader. He was the one particular person to whom everyone looked Cor almost everything. If any man could quare a circle, the profsor was the only man w ! .. could square It just in the way K should be- equal ;. te wag walking dictionary in all matters Involving etlquett and the dainty iittle niceties to be observed In polite society. Borrowing a simile from more modern an 1 n re popular vernacular, the profess,- was the whole thing. Ther? are still places where the professor is ..mewhat in evidence, but generally he has lost that daaaling effulgence of the yeater time. Men arc inclined to shrink from the title. In colleges and uni veriti-r there are still professors of this, that and the other; tut thty prefer io be called doeior, or mister. There is a certain dignity about the ti.l of doctor, a suggestion of the cloak, and the gown and the cap of wisdom. And mist is not bad. Ulster is a gentlemanly way to put It Mister Is plain but re.petab'e. Blister is every man' I title so long as he does not stumble and fall Without the pale of decent things. Mister, or course, is without distinguishing characteristics. Tne man nearest the protoplasmic slate, t nd the man farthest from it. are a"ke misters. 'I Ik title is the property in common of the i:-. ramus ar.d the sage. Solomon could Dt r.o more mister today than tl sma st ot mental pign.ifs. tor all gentlemen ire misters. So the educator to-day would rather be called mister than professor, if one may not call him doctor The change is probabl) due to the broad m ope given to the title "professor. The professor has become a trifle numerous in these hitter oays. sometimes meaning much, sometimes nothing. There ar-- many types of the professor. The quick painless tooth ex tractor vho practices his skill on pickaninnies and hOWlS his wares in the pub'ic itreetfl la professor, if you please. The lion lamer is a professor and the snake charm-r, and the sna'; a eater the fellow who "eats 'em alive" and the poodle trainer, and many others; all of these are professors, wise men, perhaps, in their way, and hence they seek to wear the title once worn exclusively by the man who had won it by toiling far into thb night. Th s thin.- have, probably tended to cause the educators of this time to shrink from the title. Baek f ,rther In history, just before and just after the war. the professor was looked upon in a way akin to veneration. And he '. erved It. He was a wed educated man. !! was always a gentleman. Hence he r k high rank in whatever place he might st p. He was precise and prim, and in his dress he was ;-s tidy and as neat as a woman. He was the plate of fashion, and the dandles sought to follow whatever pace he might set in the way of dress. The swallow tall he wore was just the proper caper in oats. and so on with other articles of dress. In the schoolroom, when he traced whits hieroglyphics on the blackboard In doing a sum In algebra, or in diagramming or parsing a sentence, or doing something else equally as wonderful in the ey a of his little i'io."k. he swelled into dlmenstone that made Alexander look small ir.h ed. :'.r he was taller than Goliath, ana his spear was more ?han a hundred-weight. But the professor of to-Jay. while still enjoying much of the Influence ot" tlu father men of his kind, and while equally as potent In the edU atlonal affairs of the country, i yet not the same professor who graced t'"' schoolroom in the earlier days of the R. public. He has lost the reverence, too. h once ha.: for the title. The title is no longer distinctive enough to be worn with the same feeling of cmsclous superiority which marked It When the years were younger. Hin, the decadence, if It still spoiled to the schoolman it would probably Still be popular, and th" title would be loved and respected Just as it was in the earlier days. But even the bandmaster n.-v. dot ! not like to be classed With the eommon herd of men who proclaim thernselves professors of this thing and that. Even in Boston, classical Boston, the Intellectual hub of the country, one may read the sign. "Profe-sor Soa-i.l.-o's Shoeshining Emporium," and the professor is a blarrk. burly specimen oi the African race hauehty in mlm and wearing gold-rimmed glasses and other imposing things. Professor? Not much. Doctor, if you pleasor mister just plain oid mister, the title of the gentleman. This will probably be the course O? things so far as titles In America are concerned, and the time may come when plain rnlst .-r. the it le of the gentlcna in, will be preferable to all others.
