"A LIE NoIE oN IhE WOMAN A
few minutes before the expiration of the
morning hour to day Senator Sargent called up
Belva Lock woods bill to allow women to prac
tice in the y. S. Supreme Court. There have
been two adverse reports on this bill this ses-
sion, eacn report holding that the Supreme
Court had authority to decide who Should
practice before it. Mr.. Sargent was reminded
that the speedy expiration of the morning
hour would not afford opportunity for debate
on the bill. He said that his purpose was
solely to find out whether or not the bill had
any friends. He was sure that it had one. Mr..
Thurman objected to considering the measure
in the absence of MIR. Edmunds. Mr.. Hamlin
objected to its consideration for like reasons.
The ayes and nays We're taken on the motion
to consider the bill, and it resulted in a tie

AT THE BOTTOM.

An eminent merchant, when quite
young, and before he knew anything of
the business, succeeded, after many tri-
ais, in finding a place where he had to
do mental tasks for his board only. He
was not, like some young men, careful
to earn no more than his pay, but, dis
regarding all such considerations, he
went to work and made himself gener-
ally useful to all was up first in the
morning, made fires, swept rooms, and
did everything that the other young
men Stunned. At the end of the year
he had rendered his services so valuable
that he had good offers from other
places-but no one could spare him.
He was placed in a higher position, and
in few years became a partner in the
business. But it must be distinctly OBJ
served chat he was willing to begin at
the bottom of the ladder.-Y Dung

THE GAME OF SCANDAL.

There IS a game called Scandal
which creates a great deal Of amuse-
ment when it is played properly. The
persons who are engaged in the game
stand or sit in circle. The more the
better; thirty or forty will make more
fun than ten OF twelve. When all are
ready, the person appointed takes his
Irlght-hand neighbor aside and whispers
In his ear a short story; it may be
about some one present, or about a
public parsonage; but whatever it is.
he must write it down and keep it as a
proof of what his statement was. The
Ineighbor, in his turn, repeats the story
as exactly as possible to the person on
his right hand and he, having listened
passes it on. AT last the tale returns
to its original narrator, who writes it
down as he receives it. 1t is said. and
L believe truly, that never once has If
been known to come back as it started.
The most astonishing alterations occur.
Innocent jokes have changed to fright
tul accusations, and only the reading
OF the first story can convince any one
that. he did not repeat exactly what he
heard. fa
There is no better type than this
amusing play of the time-worn game
OF scandal that the world has been
playing ever since it began That in
nocent people, with no intention of dis
torting facts, cannot hand the simplest
story from one to another in the same
room for a few moments without RI
dlculous alterations, proves the impos-
|sibility of getting at the truth of any
story which has passed through many
lips. The disposition of the nearer col
ors the tale even as he listens: and
more than this, many people are deaf
without being conscious of it, and in a
peculiar way. There is auricular illu-
sion as we'll as optical illusion.
Our knowledge of PERSONS charac-
ter is more to be depended on than any
thing else. When you hear an evil
story of one you know to be good, dis
credit it, and say so. Grapes are not
gathered from thistles. Neither do
thistles grow upon o grapevine. The
fruit tells yQn from what tree it came:
but you know also what fruit a tree is
likely to bear. One you know to be
good and kind, and sweet and noble, is
not likely to have done bad or cruel or
spiteful or petty things Why should
you believe a tale Of him that is, after
all, merely the elimination Of the
Game Of Scandal ?-M0ry Kyle Dallas,

SOMERS.

The weather has improved somewhat
for few days; the land is drying III
again so that farmers are busy prepar
ing to plant corn; a. few have COM
menced already, but. the weather is
cold as yet A week ago we had fur.
rles OF snow on two successive morn
Iings but no frost; yesterday light
hail-storm and this morning quite a
| freeze. SO far as observed no injury
done except to Strawberries in bloom,
which are mostly killed, the early ones
only being in blossom comparatively
few have suffered. Other varieties of
fruit in bloom In exposed situations
may have suffered some. but the result
as a rule will be a benefit rather than
an injury on account OF the tendency
to oyerbear SO general this year.
That visit of the Somers young men
before mentioned to Kenosha resulted
in a uniform for the base ball club Of
white stockings, blue unmentionables,
gray caps, and base ball shoes. The
club played a game at Somers on Sat
urday week with the Union Grove club,
the result 10 to 9 in favor Of Somers.
On Saturday last they went to W. u.
Junction, played with the Sylvanias,
got beat, only a portion of the club be-
ing present. Next Satusday they play

The funeral services Of Mrs. Mitch

the Presbyterian church of which she
had been one of the mostactive mem

her worth and work.
Fish at times have been more nu-
merous than in former years in our
streams, due it is supposed to the law
passed by CO. Board Of Supervisors, yet

measure by parties setting nets at the
mouth of Pike river in the Lake; it so
it is hoped a law may be passed to
reach them. Several youngsters none

AQUATIC.-The Mamie will be man
ed this season by volunteer crew.
who will at once commence vigorous
training. 1t is expected that the yacht
will be entered at the Chicago regatta
this summer. The Seabird has been
extensively altered and improved and
is now one of the convenient and sea-
worthy boats on the Lake; she is de-
signed by her owner, Mr.. Kimball, for
heavy service and will be used for ex-
tended cruising. The "small fry" craft
are more numerous this season than
ever before, and represent all the diff
ferent phases of the row boat, while
some have been fitted with masts and
will be used for cruising. The old
fashioned canoe once so common in our
waters has entirely disappeared nor
has it's place been supplied by the mod
ern ssRob Roy" craft. Several gentle
men have placed very neat and stylish
sail boats on the harbor, and it is ex-
pected that others will follow. Boat
ing has always been a favorite prstime
with jewellers along the lake and no
city offers superior advantages for it's
full indulgence than Kenosha.

WHEN CE THE NEW ROSES COME.

The new roses are mostly originated
in Europe, by persons VINO make it a
special study. After carefully hybrid
izing different roses, with the view of
improving their desirable qualities, the
seed is planted and the young plant
bloomed. Most of these prove of no
special merit, but occasionally a good
one is found; it is tested thoroughly
for several years. and, if still believed
valuable, is offered for approval before
the Rose Congress of France, or the
Royal horticultural Society Of Eng
land. Here the judgment is so severe
that but few roses can pass; those that
do may be considered really good. If
granted a certificate of merit, the for
tunate owner is at liberty to place it
on the market with the official endorse
ment Of the Congress Society. Plants
OF the new varieties, which have re-
ceived certificates, are usually sold for
more than their weight in gold.

There are two things that always
pay. Working and waiting. Either
is useless without the other. Both
united are invincibly and inevitably
triumphant. He who waits without
working is simply man yielding to
sloth and despair. He who works with
out waiting is fitful in his strivings
and misses results by impatience. He
who works steadily and waits patient
lily may have long journey before him,
but at its close he will find his reward.

must; but whatever else you are, be
neat. There is nothing on the visible
earth more unlovely than a slatternly

freshness and delicacy of appointment
can of themselves almost beaLtify a
