Female suffrage is not popular
even in Wyoming-the "city OF
refuge" for aspiring womanhood.
A letter in the Omaha Herald
says:
Candor compels me to say that
the women Of Wyoming seems to
love the ferocieus male brute who
tramples on their rights much bet-
ter than political freedom; they
do not seek Office have entirely
abandoned the jury room and
seem to be growing yearly more
indifferent about voting. Th Q
trouble seems to be, that women
as mass are unwilling to take up
the political problem, believing, as
they do, that their fathers, broth
ers, husbands and sweetbearts will
manage it as well as if they all
went into politics together. If
they wanted the franchise all over
the country, I don't see how, we
could refuse the. dear creatures !;
but they think more Of pinbaeks
than politics. :-,.. =. -...~..@@

Each lady that prepares food
for her family or superintends its
preparation should strive to have
it so inviting to the eye and pleas
ing to the taste, and invigorating
to the system, that no one will
have any occasion to be fretful or
disconnected. Very much of the
unhappy and disagreeable feelings
of life are caused by improperly
cooked food. Many a husband
is called cross and fussy, when it
is more the result Of the food he
receives from the hands of his
wife than Of his natural disposi-
tion.
Nowoman should spend SO much
time in preparing something nice
for her family to eat, that she gets
too tired to meet them with a
smile and kind greeting as they
gather around the table. A sweet
smile and cheerful conversation
during repast will do more to
aid digestion than any medicine
can.

CHALK.-Most people looking
at this substance would take it to
be a sort Of hardened white mud.
Such is not the case, as the micro.
scope shows is nothing but the
agglomerations Of Great re s
almost invisible. Bearing this in
mind one is astonished at the pow
er of organic life which can pro-
duce masses that form a rampant
to the coast Of England. Their
minuteness is such that a single
visiting card covered with a white
LAYER of chalk contains about 100,
900 shells. These are formed OF
carbonate of lime, and are 80 small
that 100000 are required to
weigh a pound, and 15o,ooo,ooo to
make a cubic foot Of the same ma
terial.

How FoRTUNATE.-Barnum has
been lecturing at Chicago, and he
tells the following story: In his
museum, a gentleman and daugh'
ter stood gazing at the Slamese
twins. The Snowman said they
were the most remarkable phe-
nomenon in the known world,
were born in Siam, etc. "Brothers,
I suppose?" remarked the gentle
man, interrogatively, still looking
with wonder at the twins. eyes,
sir, brothers natural brothers,
too," said the Snowman. "My
DEAR" said the visitor, rellglonsly,
turning to his daughter, "think OF
the goodness of Providence in thus
linking two natural brothers to-
gether, instead Of two strangers"

THE HEALTH OF CH4L.
DREN. 49,. .

The following letter has been
addressed to the New York Times
by a lady: Already I see with
sorrow that diptheria, that insidi-
Gus and fatal disease has ta-
ken some young children. There
have been several sudden changes
in temperature during the past
month, and again some very mild
and bright days. The winter has
not "set in" But is not such va
riable weather more dangerous
than the steady. cold2 This is the
time to watch carefully those ten
der little children;: to notice if the
temperature be mild or cool before
sending them from q heated house
into the street, to clothe them
comfortably, to cover the little
legs not only with stockings
and CATERS, but with skirts which
will hang as near to the ground
as may be without impeding the
little feet, ... ~ 49,
Whence came and what retains
the fashion Of leaving unclad or
half-clad the lower limbs of deli
cate human beings? Adults are
we'll covered, so there is no use in
habituating children 10 be other
wise. E.. Our men donot wear Scotch
kits. : Why should young boys
have their knees exposed to cold,
which fit do not produce promi'
nent local disease, weakens the
joints and impairs symmetry a nd
strength in after life? Do parents
consider how damp and chilly
The ground becomes at this season,
and how undesirable it is. for the
tiny feet to stand long in the
park and squares, not circulating
their blood by exercise, but only
inhaling the somewhat frosty air,
and receiving a chill from the
ground as they stand or sit by the
benches on which their respective
nurses eongregate? Little ones
need a short airing in the sunshine
at this season. It is better to take
two a day than one protracted
lounge; and it should not be too
much trouble for a mother to no
tice which will be the least windy
direction for the walk. A sensible
unfashionable costume may save
children suffering and parents sor-
row. But who can expect care
for the children's limbs, when Wo-
men take none of their own heads?
Who has a bonnet for winter th at
shields more than the crown Of
the head? Ask any physician what
nerves are exposed to the keen air,
on the temples, unshaded even by
the hair; behind the ears, unpro-
tected BY ribbon string; on the
brow and the top Of the head,
whence the hat is set far back.
Mems hats are more protection
than these scraps Of millinery, and
even their short hair more cover
ing to the temples and throat than
is allowed by the present style OF
head-dressing. But our girls are
brave, and will bear neuralgia,
earaches, throat diseases, even
paralysis of the brain, rather
than olothe any precious organ
which is deereed by fashion to be
uncovered. Mothers and children
will mourn che end, which they
will not use the means to avert,
and may find that a pound Of cure
does not compensate for an ounce
of prevention.

In which he stored his tracts and soap
And other peaceful swag
Which Indians pssrouize when war
And cattle stealing lag.
Long they sat in solemn council,
The agent and tae red, ....@.
Mildly talking fsoby virtue,
Till the Sachem shook his head,
As with deub: and dim suspicion:
Then be grunted low and said
Not with eloquence Of nature.
Not in NETS phoric style,
Bnt in simpler frontier lingo,
fingered with slang and grammar vile
ssNa-ree-row-zis; want some whisky;
lpjun empty; drink pile"
Then that meek and lowly Quaker
demonstrated with q tear; .-.s.
Spoke Of 6re-water and ruin
With eloquence severe
Said, quite feelingly, that whisky
Was foe most insincere.
Spake once more the Child Of Nature,
Keeping down bis growing bile:
"Has my brother brought tobacco =?
Is there powder in his pie"
But the honest agent answered,
With an unsuspse ting smile:
"Had my variegated brother
Ever studied Mr.. Trask,
He would never am certain,
Such foolish question ask. .
Read these pamphle lets, they will teach you
, In the light Of truth to bask.
Powder Ihaye none nor whisky,
Nor the misunderstanding leaf; :
But of moral tracts and stories
have many for the chief" 3
Then the Indian, weeping sadly, :
Said it caused him bitter grief,
Tia: his moral sense compelled him
To exract>his brothers hair; -
Wiz nee precision
And Sudden stricken air;
And that hopful Pesce Commission
Terminated then aRd there.

Anything Midas touched was
turned to gold. In these days,
touch a man with gold and he'll
turn to anything.
