Absent Mindedness and Mental Power.

It is worthy of notice that the growth
of the mind is often accompanied by an
apparent loss of power in particular re-
spects; and this fact is exceedingly i'm
portant, especially to all who desire to
estimate the condition of their own mind.
The mental phenomenon called mot very
correctly absence Of mind is often re-
garded by the person experiencing it, and
still more by those who observe it in him,
as proof Of failing powers. But it often,
if NOT generally accompanies the increase
of mental power. Newton displayed alb
sence of mind much more frequently and
to q much more marked degree when his
powers were at their highest than in his
youth, and not only did instances become
much less frequent when he was at an ad-
vanced age, but the opposite quality, SEN
sitiveness to small annoyances, began
then to be displayed. Even an apparent
impairment of the memory is not neces-
sarily indicative of failing mental powers,
since it is often the result of increased
concentration of the attention on subjects
specially calling for the exercise Of the
highest forms Of mental power-as analy-
sis, comparison, generalization, and judg.
mont. l have already noted that profound
thinkers often refrain from exercising
the memory, simply to avoid the distrac-
ton of their thoughts from the main sub
ject of their study. But this statement
may be extended into the general remark
that the most profound students, whether
of physical science, mathematics, history,
or in fine, of any difficult subject Of re-
search, are apt to give the memory less
exercise than shallower thinkers. OF
course the memory is exerted to consid-
cradle degree, even in the mere marshal
ing of thoughts before theories can be
formed or weighed. But the greater part
of the mental action devoted to the FORM
alton or discussion Of theories is only
Indirectly dependent upon the exercise Of
memory.-POpular Science M0nthly.

LITTLE Rock, Nov. 8.
The election too day passed off with.
out disturbance. A full vote was
polled. The Democrats carry the
First and it is thought the Fourth
ward. The Republicans the Second
and Third. The vote in the city was
between Wiltshire, Democrat, and
Hynes Republican, for Congress. The
chances are that Hynes carries Pulaski
county. b..r r.-
Advices from Saline are that every
vote cast at Bolton, the county seat,
was for Wiltshire. In Faulkner, Will.
shire was largely ahead. The Demo-
Gratis claim his election by consid-
erable majority. There is no news
from other districts.

WOMEM'S WAGES.

The New York Star, noting the faet
that the highest average wages paid tc
women in the better class of employments
into which they are crowded is 81 a
week, admits that upon this sum wo-
man with no one depending upon her,
and with health and strength, can find
home, wholesome food and have enough
left for modest clothing.
But she must be attractively clothed,
and economies, therefore, where it will
least show.
She goes without clothing sufficient
for decency or warmth, the editor says
she wears altered underclothes or none,
ragged stockings or WORKOUT shoes.
She does not do this without shame and
concealment, at least at first; but in
every struggle which enables her to do
it she loses that which she never can re-
gain.
A widow with children, on the same
sum, abandons at the outset everything
beyond mere existence, and home in
a dark, greasy tenement house, surround
ed by low and vicious inmates.
The extra penny on pail of coal, a
frozen potato in the measure, brings
tears to her eyes. She is not clothed !;
she is only covered. If she has hus-
band and he at home idle, her fate is
only so much the worse; there is anoth-
er mouth to feed-that of a strong though
helpless man. 10 keep ones faith in
God, to hold ones self-respect, to be
true to the better instincts of true wo-
manhood is all that, the strongest can do.
He who helps the widow and the father
less in times like these, says the Star,
takes the place of the Divine Master 4;
he who lays straw in the path of any
serves we'll and faithfully the devil him
self.

BROOD MARES IN SPRING.

Having for twenty years been a breed
er to some extent, of our noblest domes-
tic animal, the horse, thought short
article on the care and general manage
ment of the brood mare at this season of
the year might not be uninteresting.
The best feed for the brood mare is corn
stalks, or good timothy hay, with four
quarts of ground oats and wheat bran,
equal parts each day. The ground oats
and bran not only enable the dam to
make all necessary preparation to sup
ply the coming foal with nourishment
at the time when most needed, but keeps
her healthy and strong, and enables her
to furnish the growing foetus with the
very best kind of material to make the
best bone and muscle.
The dam should have moderate exer-
else, but it should be regular. If she
is used in a team, she should not be
driven faster than a walk, nor loaded
too heavy, for in either case there is
danger of iujuring the dam and running
the foal. She should be housed or shell
tered nights, and in all stormy weather.
AS foaling time approaches, she par
ticularly needs the practiced eye of the
careful and experienced breeder. For
she should be watched both day and
night, as many valuable colt has been
lost, that two minutes labor, at the par
tioular time would have saved. AS
soon as the colt is dropped, the attend
ant should sec that its head is free from
the blanket, as it will otherwise soon
smother or drown. The next thing is
to sever the umbillical cord about five
inches from the foal, and tie the end
next to the young colt with a string, to
prevent bleeding; this, if possible,
should be done before the dam rises as
many foal has been ruptured at the
navel by the dam rising before the string
was severed. After the above has been
promptly attended to, leave the dam
alone with the foal for half an hour.
If, at the end of that time, through
weakness or any other cause, the young
foal has been unable to secure its natur-
al nourishment from the dam, the at
tendant with whom the dam is- most
familiar should lose no time in render
ing the necessary assistance by holding
the colt at the side, and by putting the
nose to the teats of the dam.
After the colt is able to draw its nour-
lshment from the dam without the aid
Of the attendant,s little need be done,
but furnish a shed, if the weather is in.
clement, and a good liberal supply of
hay or stalk, and a peck of ground oats
and bran per day, until there is full
bite of green spring grass.

Woman's Rights.

II is her right to bind with warmest ties -
The lOrdly spirit of aspiring man.
Making his home an earthly paradise
Rich in all the joys allotted to life's span;
Twining round each fiber of his heart
With all the gentle influence of loves might;
Seeking no JOY where he has no part
This is undoubtedly woman's right.
1t is her right to teach the infant mind
Training it ever upward in its course:
To root out evil passions that would bind
The upward current of his reasons force;
To lead the erTing spirit gently back
When IT has sunk in gloom of deepest night;
To point the shining path of virtues track
And urge him forward. This is woman's right
1t Is her right TO sOOthe the couch of pain;
These her pure missions upon earth to prove:
To calm with gentle care the frenZed brain
And keep her vigil there of hottest love;
To watch untiTingly by the lonely bed
Through the bright day and in the solemn night
Til health ensues, or the loved form is laid
To rest forever. This is woman's right.
She is a flower that blossoms best unseen,
Sheltered within the precincts of her home
There no dark ming storm-clOud should intervene
There the loud strife of worldlings never come
Let her not scOrn to act a wOman'S part,
Nor strive to cope with manhood in its might
But lay this maxim closely to her heart
That that which God Ordains is surely right

A WORD To THE MOTHERS OF Sons
Women who have sons to rear. and dread
the demoralizing influences of bad asso.
clates, ought to understand the nature
of young manhood. 1t is excessively
restless. 1t is disturbed by vague am !.
billions, by thirst for action, by longings
Tor excitement, by irrepressible desires
to touch life in manifold ways. If YOU.
mothers, rear your sons so that their
homes are associated with the repression
of these natural instincts, you will be
sure to throw them into the society that
IN any measure can supply the need of
their hearts. They will not 90 to pub
llc-hOuses at first. for love of liquor
very lew people ever really like the
taste of liquor-they will 90 for the an
lmated and hilarious companionship thew
ind there, which, they discover. does
SO much to repress the disturbing rest
Iessness In their breasts. Seeto If. then
that their homes compete with public
places in attractiveness. Open your
blinds by night Hang pictures upon
the walls. Put books and newspaners
upon your tables. Danish those demons
OF dizziness and apathy that have so long
ruled In your household, anu bring in
mlrth and good cheer. Invent occupa-
tons for your sons, stimulate their am.
oltlons IN worthy directions. While
you make home their delight ELL them
with higher purposes than mere pleasure.
Whether they shall pass happy boyhoOds
and enter upon manhood with refined
tastes and noble ambitions. depends upon
you. Do not blame miserable bar-keen-
ers II your sons miscarry. Believe it
possible that, with exertion and RIGHT
means, mother may have more control
over the destiny of her boys than apv
other influence whatever.-Egerv Sat
