lnomas w. Palmer, United States Senator
from Michigan. This speech delivered ba
fore the Senate assembled at Washington
D. o., is an eloquent grafton upon women
her intelligence, her traits of firm and biob
resolve. The paragraphs below are from
this manly and thoughtful grafton:
A woman who owns railroad or manu-
featuring or mining stock may vote un-
questioned by the side of the brightest
business men of our continent, but if she
transfers her property into real estate she
loses all voice in its control.
"Their abilities, intellectual, physical, and
political, are as various as ours, and thew
err who set up any single standard, how
ever lovely, by which to determine the
rights, needs, and possibilities of the sex.
10 no one recognition oftheir capacity
tor full citizenship is right and desirable
and it only remains to consider whether it
is safe, whether it is expedient.
"Ihe great questions ofthe future conduct
of our people ale to be economic and social
ones. No one questions the superiority of
Womanly instincts, and consequent thought,
IN the latter, and the repeated failures and
absurdites exhibited by male legislators in
the treatment Of the former, should give
pause to any assertion of superiority there.
" The day has come when the counsel
and services of women is required by the
highest interests Of the State, and who shall
gainsay their CONSUMPTION.
We place the ballot in the keeping of
immigrants who have grown middIe-aged
or old in the environment of governments
dlssimilar to the spirit and purpose of ours,
and we do we'll; because the responsibility
accompanying the trust tends to examin-
alton, comparison, and consequent political
education but we decline to avail our
selves of the aid Of our daughters, wives
and mothers, who were born and are al
ready educated under our system, reading
the same newspapers, books, and periodi-
Gals as ourselves, PROUD OF OUR COMMON
HISTORY, TENACIOUS OF OUR THEORIES OF
HUMAN RIGHTS, AND soLICIToUS FOR OUR
FUTURE PROGRESS.
Whatever may have been wisest as to the
extension Of suffrage to this tender and HUI
name class, when wars Of assertion or con-
quest were likely to be considered, TO-DAY
and TO MORROW and THEREAFTER no valid
reason seems aSsignable for longer neglect
to avail ourselves Of their association"

~ who we're dressed in black and wore

1aIbprries and half faded leaves of red bill

.lso few vreaths of real flowers, but they
we're small and few, for it was bad weather
for flowers now
The minister and Bruvald followed be-

The minister paused and read the funeral
service The silk hats were removed and
they all stared into them a few moments,
but sigh of relief escaped all when the
bats were replaced, for it was cold, and
most Of them had very thin hair, or were
bald. Then the psalm sounded heavy and
Snbre over the grave. Nature looked
BARE and faded, and their hearts were hard
and unteeling. The notes sounded without
feeling and without thought. Now and
then the wind carried the sound high inthe
air, among the creaking branches, but it
vas heavy and low, and seldom reached
beyond the small group assembled around
degnve.

There are no water drinkers In Francs.
Among my numerous acquaintances and
friends have only found one lady who
had been such from the ago Of 10. Her
conversion took place under the follow.
ing circumstances: She had been q
weakly child, and the doctor ordered
very superior Bordeaux at all her meals.
At 10, having outgrown her weakness,
she was sent to boarding school, where,
Of course, they offered her nothing but
the vim ordinaire. She refused to drink
It, and the schoolnistress, after many
struggles, had to give in, not without
having previously complained to her
parents about her obstinacy.
The child IN the cradle u given wine
to drink; the little school boy and girl
finds it in his lunch basket; tho soldier
thinks it is hardship it he does not get

Of which there are about forty in Paris,

their use during the first years Of their

The Tooth Factory.


The domain of the dentist il about to
DO disputed. A great discovery has
been made which will rcvolutionize thu
whole business, and tmancip2te the suf
fcrers. A factory has been established,
with plenty Of capital to back it, for the
purpose Of making sets of artificial teeth
by machinery. AL that anyone who is
troubled with his teeth will have to do
will DO to get them al pulled out. Then
he can purchase ;,rand new, ma hine-
made set and be exempt from toothache
al! ths rest Of his lie.
There is, Of course, nothing new in
tho making aud using Of artificial teeth,
but il will be easily seen that the manu-
iactIrc by machinery presents great ad-
vanta,es. When the making of watches
by machinery was started there were
Rlany protests that the new way would
never TO as good as the old. hut the
exactness soon attained, and the con-
venience of having the parts inter-
changeablo, brought about revolution,
and the factory watches now rank above
the handmade. The same advantages
will he had in tho factory teeth. Ii one
set gets broken, or comes out, an ex-
actly similar one can he ordered from
the factory at very small cost. Ii the
plate gets cracked it can DO replaced in
the same way. All that is necessary
will be to give the number of tho plate,
and Q new one, precisely like the old,
will be sent BY return man.

The reason that Rio coffee is not
quoted high in tho market is that only
the lower grades Of Brazilian coffee are
called lilo coffee. TITO best coffee from
Rio de Janeiro is called Java, "Mocha, !"
etc. You SEQ the planters send their
coffee to Rio and then it is all mixed TO-
gether, the good and the bad, in order
to get an average price. When it gets
here it is taken to large coffee houses,
