xnMAN,s JUDGMENT.

Men find it difficult to explain how
women conduct an argument, but this
they do kuOw-that 1t Is not according
10 the sirietest rules Of logic.
All she knows has not been learned
from books, and her free, untrammeted
POWERS scOrn all letters. Mans elab
crate process Of reasoning does less for
him in many cases than her. intuition,
or ifyou please to make it tribe lower,
we'll say her "instincts." Men of iu-
teIligence, or those whose associations
have been with women o: culture and
refinement, admit this. aud in many
of lifes perpIexing problems go to her
for a solution, which Is often quickly
furnished.
Flooding man, how many times have
you gone to your intelligent wife, moth
er or sister to decide intricate questions
at once and accurately after you have
laborsd for hours 10 arrive at conclu-
sions, but have found yourself NOR
embarrassed aud perplexed In the end
than when you first began your in-
uuiries? She does not care to explain
how 1t Is that she has gained such q
point, but she knows she Is right, aud
enjoys the conviction.
A woman's conclusions in all the
practical minute Of every day life aud
in secular interests Is generally correct,
but mans pride too often ungenerously
checks such admission, and to men OF
small minds the idea Of her as his su-
perior in anything Is humilisting in the
extreme, and II Is seldom her opinions
are consulted or respected by this small
type of masculinity.
IL Is this same class that cireum-
scribes woman's sphere to the narrow
limits Of the cuisine, dairy and nursery,
and that fumes immoderstely over q
badly cooked steak, poor bread, and
inferior coffee. She must excel in these
departments, despite all obstacles that
may arise to produce 3 failure; the but
ter must be golden, the milk al cream,
aud the little ones ever in . plight to
receive guests, as If no mud pies or frog
houses were ever built I'D by those little
busy hands. These are the men VINO
would yoke woman with the brute, and
fetter her to the soil, and whose chiyal-
~ viii never force them to break q
lance in defence Of female honor.
We claim for the sex no native men,
tai endowment superior to mans, but
in tie heart reslm she bears OF the
psIm In a nicer sensibility, q tender
ness, fervor. fortiIude, faiihfulness and
endurance which have never been
eoualled by the sterner sex, and 't Is IN
the sick room and around the couch OF
suffering that she shines Pre-eminensy !

Practical Joking.


Practical jokers despise "a man who
can't take joke" One Unexpectedly
drew q chair from under Brown the
other day. Brown got up very wrath
ful. He was about to assault the joker,
when the latter cried, 81 thought you
we're different sort OF man Il thought
you could take . joker Then Brown
quoted down. He said he could.
He went out and returned with q pail Of
borritly dirty water and borse-whip.
He dashed the water all over the joker,
and then proceeded TO lash him. The
Joker bowled, shrieked, and protested,
but Brown said 1t was "oDly . JOKE"
and then he threw o small table at the
joker, and dashed him q little time long
er. And the crowd hurrahed and
yelled at the joker not to get excited, a.
1t was q mean man who couldn't take
q JOKE. And at lsst the Joker fed
through tine window, and the crowd
cheered Brown. That's the kind Of .
man Brown Is, and the people think
we'll of him, and they are going TO elect
him to the school board.

stoop, until that tendency IL overcome,

MouEtaineers are said to be "as strsigh,

Sad Fate of Ten Naughty Boys.

Philadelphia Record.
Ten wicked little BOYS in Tioga met in a
woodshed and there organized the Jesse
James Gang" One of their number, who had
read the latest dime novel, administered am oath
about a foot in length and strong enough to
make all hands keep IA secret With uplifted
hands they vowed to raid all the candy shops
and to strike terror to the hearts of the in
offensive maidens back of the counter. The
Jesse James gang started out upon a wild and
reckless career, but it came to a sudden halt.
One of its victims was an inoffensive baker,
whose push-cart the James gang robbed Of rolls
and biscuits every afternoon. Threats were Of
no avail, and at last the baker hit upon a novel
plan of breaking up the gang. He baked a num-
Der of nice-looking cakes, and filled them with
medicine prescribed by q doctor. The ten
desperadoes made their usual raid on the cart
the other afternoon, and the first prizes they
captured were the medicated cakes. These
the freebooters devoured greedily. The mcdi
has been broken up. None of them have been
to school since the raid.
