FEMALE SocIErT.-Whatis il that
makes those men who associate
habitually with women superior to
others? What makes that woman
who is accustomed and at case in
the society OF men superior to her
sex in general: Solely because
they are in the habit of free,
graceful, continued conversations
with the other sex. Women in
this way lose their irivolity, their
faculties awaken; their delicacies
aud peculiarities untold all their
beauty and captivation in the
spirit of intellectual rivalry. And
the men lose their pcdantic, rude,
declamatory or sullen manner.
The coin OF the understanding
and the heart is changed continu.
ally. The aspcritics are rubbed
Oh, their better materials polished
and frightened, and their richness,
like the gold, is wrought into finer
workmanship by the finger of wo-
man than it ever could be by those
OF men. The iron and steel of
their characters arc hidden. like
the character and armOF OF n gi-
ant, by studs and knots of good
and precious stones when they arc
not wanted in actual warfare.

The Chicago Tribune thus rev.
elates on the latest discovery of a
pleasant method to thwart the
amiable eccentricities of emotion
al lunatics: ..
"A New York clergyman, u fine
singer, recently visited mad
house. An incurablc maniac
rushed at him, shouting "rll kill
you" The preacher sweetly sang
Our Home in Heaven" In two
minutes, the lunatic, after going
through various listening, relax
ing, and weeping stages, all of
which are described in the pathet-
ic account before us, cooled up on
his bed Of rags as quiet as a child"
This. - the keynote to a great
truth. There is no excuse for q
man who is murdered hereafter.
Since all murderers are insane
nowadays, person whose life is
in danger has but to grasp the
iewsharp in his pocket or the ban
jo slnng upon his back FIVE take it
for granted that no reasonable
man will hereafter he without
these weapons Of defence }, strike
the note, aud pipe forth Our
Home in Heaven" Thus will hc
escape the danger of being sent to
ind that home. In two minutes
bis assailant will be 'coilcd up as
quiet as = child" and can then be
easily sent by a well-aimed blow
to that blessed land where a super
sededs is unknown and seoundrels
get their dues"

Few can appreciate properly how
full of wonders, natural or otherwise,
America really is. Asa Y ankee once
said in England, we have the talIest
mountains, loudest thunder and larS-
est speech of any country on earth.
The greatest cataract in the world is
the Falls of Niagara, where the waters
of the great upper lake form river
of three-fourths of mile III width,
and then, being suddenly contracted,
plunges over the rocks in two coll
umns to the depth of IT'S feet. The
greatest cave in the world is the Nam
moth Cave of Kentucky, where any
one can make a voyage on the waters
of a subterranean river and catch eve
less fish. The greatest river in the
known world is the Mississippi Its
valley contains 100000 square miles
and is one of the most fertile regions
of the globe. The greatest city park
in the world is in Philadelphia. Ii
contains over 1900 acres. The great
est grain port in fhe world is Chiea-
go. The largest lake in the world is
Lake Superior, which is truly -an in-
land sea, being 430 miles in length.
The greatest mass of solid iron flI the
world is the mountain OF Missouri. 1t
is $50 feet high and two miles in cir
cult. The best specimen OF Grecian
architecture in the world is the Cro-
ton acqueduct, New York. / length
is 4015 miles and its cost SIS, 100000.
The largest deposits of anthracite
coal in America are in Pennsylvania,
the mines of which supply the market
with millions of tons annually and
appear to be inexhaustible,
