Woman Suffrage in Wyoming.

We clip the following from the Heb
ron. Thayer County, Nebraska Journal:
Mrs Galbraith, wife of Hon. Il.
Galbraith, of Laramie, Wyoming Ter
ritory, is visiting relatives and friends IN
Thayer County. In a recent CONVERSE
ton she gave the following facts rela-
tive to woman suffrage in Wyoming :
Mrs Galbraith has lived in that territory
for eleven years, and her observation
and experience cover the entire period of
women voting there. She said that the
women of the territory received equal
political rights without the asking. Po-
litical equality was thrust upon them,
but they were equal to the emergency,
and performed their political duties from
the first ms well as the men. Before the
introduction of this measure no murderer
had ever been punished, although sew
eral murders had been committed. When
a Jury composed equally of women and
men was formed, the first murderer was
convicted. Mrs. Galbraith's daughter
was one of the jurors. Good order pre-
walls at the polls At first women
thought they must be accompanied by
their husbands to the polls. but they
soon learned they could attend the polls
as safely as at church, and with less
rudeness than at the postofice. The
ranchers and cowboys, from which
the most disturbance was to have been
expected, on the approach of women to
the polls. would say. "stand back and

for a woman to walk to the polls, as
politicians always have carriages in

ton are shown women in Wyoming,
because they are an important factor in
the government as well as the home.

The cherry blossom IS the national
flower of Japan, as the rose is of
England, theslily of France, the thistle
of Scotland, and the shamrock,,of Ire
land On the Mikado's flags, pages, and
carriages, and on the soldiers. caps and
uniforms, you will seesthe open chrys-
anthemum. But the flower of the peo-
pie and the nation is the flower of the
blossoming cherry tree. The Japanese
cultivate all over Japan the sakura tree,
which is valued only for the beauty of its
blossoms. From an entire tree You
could not get ripe cherries enough to
makes pie; but the blossoms are massed
together on the boughs like clouds, and
the blooms are often as large as a rose.
Picnics In Japan are called "going to see
the flowers" In June millions of people
60 out to sing and sport and laugh and
play under the cherry trees, or to catch
the snow showers that do not fall from
the Skies Some of the people become
so enchanted with the lovely blossoms
as to even Worship the famous old trees.

Public School Discipline

There is in the public schools too much
of this military drilling which forbids q
yred and restless child to change its po-
sition and rest from cruel constraint.
1t is sometimes absolute torture to del
icate child to maintain the stiffness and
stiffness enjoined by the foolish teacher.
A moderate amount of freedom of move
ment can not be productive of disturb

Previous to the invention of the mule
for spinning cotton few operators could
spin 1t to 200 hanks to the pound, $40
yards making hank. At the same time
the natives of India were spinning cotton
to a hneness of about 800 and 400 hanks
Since the introduction of the mule
the AIessrs. Houldsworth, Of Mancnes-
ter, England, have succeeded in spin
ming 700 hanks from n pound of cotton.
Within a short time 10000 hanks have
been spun from pound, but the thread
was too fine to be woven. The thread
from this single pound of cotton reached
in length 4, 40 miles. The finest cotton
yarn is spun IN England and made into
lace in France.

A SMindler Disgraced.


There is a man in New York whose
dinner could not have digested very well
or afforded him much solid comfort. He
dined at a hotel and took his meal in
good style After laying in. a liberal
supply of what he fancied and running
up a substantial account, his check was
handed to him. Instead of paying the
amount marked on 1t he furiively put 1T
in his pocket and attempted TO pass out
the door in an unconcerned manner
without bestowing the customary atten-
ton on the official who sits Mt theTeceipt
of custom. Had the greedy and we'll
fed person been mindful of the fact that
two detectives are kept on constant duty,
lurking for Just such patrons as himself,
his course would have been different
AS it was, his passage to the street be
came very different affair from what he
had intended it to be. Instead of being
allowed quietly to chuckle over having
swindled the hotel out of the price of
his dinner, lie was brought to halt by
onelof the detectives and made to give
an account of himself. His stammering
apologies did him no good, and only
served to stimulate his captor to make
conspicuous example of him. Calling
TO his aid another employee of the house,
the detective caused the wretch to
q walk Spanish" to the doorway, at
which point he kicked him into the
street, amid the applause of the bystand-
ers, who by this time were informed as
to the why and wherefore of the transac-
ton. In demoralized manner the de-
scted and disgraced g diner out" landed

of his fellow men would not be so con-
spicuously directed at him. 1t would
h I'VE been quite as legal to have had this
fellow arrested and convicted of swind-
ling the hotel, but the moral effect of
thus boosting him into the street was far

The remarkable discoveries of Jenner,
Pasteur, and others, showing that some
of the most fatal virulent diseases may
be rendered comparatively harmless by
inocculation with a weakened virus,
have led to the suggestion of the pos
tibiIity of combating tuberculosis in
the same manner. 1t is now quite gen.
orally believed that this disease, like
smallpox, chicken cholera and anthrax,
is due to the very rapid increase of GER
tain minute organisms in the body, and
it seems reasonable to hope that inocu-

produce as favorable results as have
been achieved in the case of the other
