Where Women Vote,

"ITas woman suffrage been proven a
success in WyomingY'
at apparently is great success. All
classes of women vote, and they have
so transformed the polls that an Eastern
man would never recognize voting
place in our Territory. The men are
very respectful, and when ladies appear
they doff their beavers ill the most defer
entail manner. TEE women generally
vote as their male relatives do, but oc-
cassonally they assert neutrality-suspicious.
and vote the other ticket. They do not
take part in caucuses nor conventions, al
though they are entitled to serve AZ
delegates. 1t is oh erved, however, that
the candidates who are acceptable to the
ladies are the ones that get Oh the ticket
There has been no direct temperance
issue in the Territory, but when it doet
come the women, irrespective of politics,
can be safely counted for prohibition.
They are entitled to serve on lurles ano
are eligibleto the peace justiceship, bu
the positions are not cOngenial ones, and
the custom is dying out. In Laramie We
had female justice of the peace who
believed in no distinction under any
circumstances. Her husband wa
brought before her on the charge Of
drunk aud disorderly, and she fined hin
to the full extent of the law. He pai(
his fine and then remarked thst he woulc
get even with the court before morning.
And he did, too. His wife was unable
to get out of bed for two weeks. y Bill

Can q Bat See With Its Wingsi

There is q singular property with
which the bat is endowed too remarka-
BILE and curious to be passed altogether
unnoticed. The wings Of these crea-
lures consist of delicate and nearly
naked membrane of great size, consider
ing the size of the body; but besides
this. the nose is in some varieties, fur.
nished with a membraneous foliation,
and in others the external membraneous
ears are greatly developed. These mem
braneous tissues have their sensibility SC
high that something like new sense is
thereby developed, as If in aid OF the
sense of sight. The modified i'm.
pressions which the air in quiescence OF
in motion, however light, communicates,
the tremulous if.r of its currents, lti
temperature, the indescribable condi.
tons of such portions of air as are ii
contact with different bodies, are all ap
parently appreciated by the bat, II the
ewes of bat be covered up, or if cru.
ely deprived of sight, it will pursue its
course about a room with a thousand
obstacles in its way. avoiding them all,
neither dashing against wall nor
touching the smallest thing. but thread
ing its way with the utmost precision
and quickness, and passing adroitly
through apertures or interspaces OF
threads placed purposelY across the
apartment. This endowment, which al
most exceeds belief, has been abundantly
demonstrated. Forest and Stream.

A prrrNprR of America has arisen

A DEFENDER of America has arisen
among English novelists in Amelia B.
Edwards, who in her story of Lord
Brackenbury" now publishing in Har-
per's BGzQr makes Countess of Ameri-
can birth say to an impertinent Eng
hshwoman: at seems to us that you
keep your clever people at arms length,
rather-as if they hadn't been properly
introduced, or as if YOU wanted to know
about their fathers and grandfathers. l
dare say I'm wrong; but that is our i'm
preston in America. " We certainly
don't send man ont as ambassador to
Paris or Berlin because he happens to
have written a comic novel, or edited q
newspaper" said Lady Symes. "Ah,
no-Of course not: but, then, you see,
you are a great historic nation. You
have your traditional school of diplomacy
-. the Foreign Office, isn't it, Lady
Symes?-one of the genteel idiot asy-
huns you mentioned Just now. We have
nothing of that sOrt-no traditions, you
know; not even so many idiot asylums as
you have. But then We have no younger
sons Of noble birth to push through the
world. That, Of course, makes a differ
ence."

Blacksmithing In Germany.

In the interior towns and villages o,
Germany, 1t has been the custom for
many years for the farmer to purchase
the iron for his tires and horseshoes, and
in some instances, when having new
wagon built, TO purchase all the iron en-
tering into the same, the lengths Of every
piece being furnished him by the smith.
One part Of the contract is that the smith
shall not return to the farmer all ends
and cuttings from the iron, and it fire.
quently occurs that the farmer remains
at the shop until the iron is all cut up,
in order that the smith shall not indulge
in too much cabbage. Each smith shop
has what is termed "the hell, and In
cutting off set Of tires, if the farmer be
not present, the largest half Of the end
cut of finds its way to "the hell, the
duty of putting it there devolving upon
the youngest apprentice. From this
always plentiful store the smith furnishes
his material for the manufacture OF
bolts, horseshoeS, etc, for transient GUS
toners.
The horse shoeing part is also fea-
ture; the farmer Will bring with him the
end of some piece of iron or tire, with
which to make the shoes, or perhaps
dozen or more old horseshoes to be con-
yerted into new ones. The farmer must
blow the bellows until the work is forged
or the shoes are made, and must then
hold up the horses foot while the shoes
are being driven on or taken of, and III
variably carries the old shoes home with
him, unless he prefers to give the old
shoes in payment for the apprentices
service in holding up the feet.

DEVELOPMENT Of Forest Trees.

There exists a great diversity among
trees in regard to their periods of devel-
opment; some have brief rotation. The
coppice growths in Eropeon forestry
are often utilized in periods of ten OF
fifteen years; in our own country, too,
we have many trees of short rotation,
and some Of the most useful and prof.
table trees are of this character. DR..
WMdner, of Ohio, in paper on For.
estry," says:
The black locust may be harvested
after it has grown from twenty to thirty
years.
The catalpa speciosa in the same
period will make good cross-ties and
fence posts.
The ailantus very soon attains useful
size, and for certain purposes has beer
highly commended both in this country
and In Europe. Professor @. s. Sar-
gent is advising its extensive plantation,
and some years ago it was spoken of as
the most promising tree for the arid
plains Of the Southwest.
The forest of Scotch pine in Germany
are allowed sixty years to reach then
useful size for fuel and for timbers.
The birch there reaches its maturity
inabout half a century.
The willow used for charcoal needed
in the manufacture of gunpOwder may
be cut after growing twenty years Oh
even less.
Chestnut, in its second growth, is most
proftably cut every twenty or twenty
five years.
The beautiful wood of the wild cherry
soon reaches profitable size for many
purposes, though for saw logs and lum-
Der the tree should be larger.

The Young Man that Wins.

A certain brutality Of manners,
adopted from the English, is affected by
some of our young men. They answer
harshly, affect not to see lady to whom
they owe civilities, and try to become
Doors, even if they are not. This style
is seen much in men Of mixed blood, per-
haps the half Germans, half French, half
English. 1t is a very poor style and be-
trays the snOb. 1t is not a common
American fault, still it exists 1t should
be frowned down; it is the fault of medi-
OGRE men. But, as Houssaye says:
young men are moderate nowadays,
even in their follies. They are afraid Of
excess; they cut grooves for their voices
to run in. They ore bourgeois, who
carefully avoid fatiguing, much more ex-
posing themselves" Haussaye does not
believe, evidently, that there are Sir
Philip Sidneys, admirable CrichtOns, }"
in these days, but he is wrong. A ship
wreck, battlefield, field day in Wall
street, brings them to the front. Men
are as noble as ever; there are as many
heroes. The occasion finds them, and
i'll every Office, every merchants count
ing-room, in all the walks of the profes-
sions are the silent heroes. What a hero
is the young doctor who works day and
night succOring the wounded, helping the
sick, tending the dying! What a hero
the young soldier who has first thor
oughly conquered himself! What hero
is the young bank clerk, preserving his
honesty while there IS temptation all
around him. What a hero the young
man doing honest work anywherel He
shames the pouncet-bOx hero; he is the
Hotspur of the field of honor. Women
love these heroes. They are the men to
marry. The other kind do very well for
the leadership of the German, but the
true women do not care for them. One
real man entering drawing-roOm with
his record of work behind him will scare
away the tops as ghosts retire at cock
crow.-AnlericQn Queen.

ARemedY for AdYersitr.

The Lancet suggests that more ac-
count ought to be taken than is taken
of the condition of health in estimating
the causes of success or failure in life.
The habit of failing is formed in some
families, and seems TO be transmitted by
inheritance; the same is the case with
constitutional peculisrities, and often
with certain morbid conditions. 1t
would be an interesting and profitable
study to examine how far what is called
ill-luck or bad fortune is induced by such
peculiarities. Accepting this view, 80
far from its being strange that failure OF
success should run in families, it would
be inexplicable, contrary to every nat
ural law and precedent, if he did not do
so. The force of character, strength OF
will, clearness Of mental vision, and
qualities of vigor, patience, and persever-
ance, which constitute the secrets of sue
cess in life, are the several properties Of
the physical organism, compounded as it
is Of body and mind" A new cure is
suggested then, the ''health cure" as
remedy for adversely, which would be
first personal, then hereditary in its aim,
aspects, aud bearing. The subject is
worthy the attention of medical mensnd
social philosophers.

Mrs. TByLYRURAL has been in the
city with her daughter to arrange for
the vocal instruction of the young lady.
She has not yet engaged teacher, aud
is now in terrible state of perplexity.
"The first professor said" she explained
to Mr.. T. on her return, that Almira
sings too much with her borax. If she
keeps on she will get digestion on the
lungs. He said he ought to try the
abominable breathing and practice SOL
fudgery. Then the next teacher told
me that she ought to sing more with her
diagram and not smother her voice in the
sarcophagus. Then the next he poked q
looking glass down her throat and said
that the phalanx was too small and the
typhoid bone and the polyglotis were in
a bad way, and 1 never knew that
Almira had so many things down her
throat, and I'm afraid to let her sing
any more for fear it'll kill the poor
girl" And that was the end of "voice
building" in the Trulyrurl family

Pertinent Note from q Dead Man.
