The hope that when women votes
there will be no more wars, no more
political corruption; that the great
"unwashed' will so to the polls in
Sunday clothes, and vote in stand-up
collars and white kids---is quite too
pleasing fancy for indulgence. What
female Legislators would do with free
love and po|ygamy,-whether they
would endure or wink at the one, and
abolish the othcr,--might depend
somewhat on the consideration wheth-
or legislatures were purified, or women
corrupted, by the new associotion. 1t

women should do away with "repeat-

Daniel Webster's Eyes.

Boston Advertiser
Mr.. Webster was once spending the
summer in town near Boston, and,
as WAS his custom, attended church
regularly, both morning and afternoon.
On one occasion it fell to the lot of an
unnodged youth to try his wings in
that pulpit, He rose, as, was natural,
with some trepidation, to begin the
service This trepidation gradually
increased, till toward the close of the
hymn he faltered perceptibly, and as
he sat down by the side of the min
lister OF the parish he whispered "Doc-
tor, don't know to whom those eyes
belong which are directly facing me,
but they are quite tco much for me,
and / cannot preach" MI Webster
was responsible for an extemporaneous
discourse that morning.

The Best knowledge.

The knowledge which we crave and
work for, which we look for and find,
which we think out or dig out for our
selves, which we rejoice in as in a
newly found troasure-that is the
knowledge, be in small or great, that
is worth having 1t is like the food
for which we hunger, it gives us fresh
power and fuller lifo. 1t matters far
less even what this knowledge is than
the way in which it was gained,
The most systematic and wcll-pre-
pared course of study, worried through
by student whose only care is that
he may get his diploma, is OF far less
value to him or to the world than the
vital thought of the young mechanic,
who, anxious to master the secrets OF
his trade, patiently studies its details,
discovers its principles, and infuses in
to it his own flesh and form OF some
new invention, or perhaps in more
skillful touch or Il more delicate finish
than it has yet received
knowledge, like the blood, is only
halethy while in brisk circulation. It's
work is to supply the arteries Of
our mental life, thus continually be-
ing transformed into new thought and
fresh acticity. 1t should feed our
whole lives, making them richer hap
pier, more valuable The knowledge
that does this has attained its object
whether it be the highest culture OF
the schools, or the practical business
of the Office or factory whether it be
the latest results Of scientific research
or the faithful observation OF 4 single
flower whether it be the Knowledge
of human nature that enables gen,
eral to conduct a campaign, or that
which helps gentle woman to main
tain harmony in her family.
At the best, no one can know much
Compared with the infinite realms
above and beyond us to be yet discov
cred, the knowledge of the most learn
ed man covers but tiny spot, and
what fraction Of such spot ours may
cover IL but small matter But il
does matter to ourselves and tc
all around us what use we shall make
OF what we do possess whether We
shall carry it around for exhibition, OF
whether we shall convert it into 4
living force, to elevate our own natures
and to bless and help mankind,-Ex'

that there might l,e some market in

Glass Cloth ht Twenty Dollars Yard.
Fpift hr,, HN,ro,i,,Ia

Pitt burg Chroncle-Telegraphl
Several years ago quite furore was
created by the announcement that
south side glass manufacturer had dis
covered method of spinning glass so
fine and so pliable that it could be
woven into dresses, outside wrars and
garments of all kinds. The statement
was received with incredulty, and
leading foreign scientific Journal, which
published the statement OF the dis
cotery, felt called upon to apologize to
its readers for having endeayored to
dupe thom. Several months later the
manufacturers of the article caused the
Journal to acknowledge the receipt of a
piece of the wonderful cloth. The
eagerness to see the material was UNI
bounded for months and letters by the
hundreds, from every cline, were re-
celved, inquiring the cost OF the novelty.
The reply, $40 per yard, never brought
back any answer and put an effectual
quletuS on the anxious correspondent.
Fanny Davenport visited the factory
in person and viewed the material.
Emma Abbott placed a shawl made out
VI ILo clOtn On ner SnOulu6fN AT the
companys office, and talked of purchas-
ing it when she pres nted her new
opera, but the opera has never yet been
presented or else she has changed her
mind. p, 7. Barnum brought tho late
Tom Thumb and his wife to the works
and inquired the cost of preparing them
with an outfit of glass. The veteran
Snowman, however, was not disposed to
effect purchase. For months persons
visited ths factory by the hundreds. A
sample of the glass was sent to a popu-
lar uIy goods store in New York for in
speotion, but was returned with the
statement that the rush OF people to see
the cloth retarded business. Genius
had triumphed, but only partially. 1t
was found impossible to manufacture
the article Tor less than $40 per yard
and soon the furore over it subsidized.
Probably in the dim future, if glass ma
terialS become cheaper, glass cloth will
form the basis of many handsome COS
tunes.
