In reading reports OF the graduating
exercises OF some twenty different
high schools we notice that the girls
greatly out number the boys. A little
computation shows us that just one
seventh of the entire number of grad
yates are boys. No one who reads can
deny the fact that in our public schools
the girls receive the lions share Of in
struction. The boys drop out of the
ranks, are kept at work all summer,
and In the short winter term labor at a
disadvantage. We have often had a.
mong our pupils, girls of eight or ten,
able to write a fair legible hand and
read understandingly any ordinary
news paper article, while their big
brothers Of fourteen, sixteen or even
eighteen, could scarcely write their
names or read intellgibly. This Is
wrong. The boys our future voters
and law makers should keep step in
tellectually with their sisters. School
statistics show that, as students, girls
out number boys ten to one. AS this
has been the case for twenty or thirty
years, it is no wonder that women be-
gin to feel themselves capable of enter
ing the ranks with their brothers in
the various departments of life. Prof.
Jones in his address to the graduates
Of the DesMoines High School said:
"Young ladies, If any OF you fear lest
you may be hampered or restricted in
your work because you are women, re-
member that you live in the noble State
of Iowa, where schools are second to
| none, that you live in the capital OF
Iowa, whose schools rank among the
best in the state, and that the people OF
this capital city have entrusted their
dearest interests, the education OF
their children, the oversight and di-
| rection OF all educational forces, to a
woman. a broad-minded, noble-soul'd,
great hearted woman, a woman who
commands respect not only by her ofii-
cial position but by her good Judgment,
and whose heart is as large as her brain.
! Young ladies, prove your worth; the
gates are open" We are glad to note
| this stride of civilization, and yet the
lawmakers whom tax-paying women
help to support, still class them among
the lunatics, idiots and criminals. The
late riots prove that more morality and
natriotism is needed among the quail
|fed(?) voters Of our country. God
speed the day when the greatest
moral force in the human family
will not be obliged to stay in the
background andwatch disorderly for
ajgners riot on out native soil.

want to marry but few would vote if
they could. The sprightly Journal says
It's observations are that the girls are

are as willing to marry as if they had
never heard of woman-suffrage. The

A CURIOUS manufacture peculiar to
Tunis is that of skull caps, noted, too,
for their brilliancy of color, their fine
ness and durability, as compared with
those made in France and Italy. The
wool, mixture of native Tunisian and
Spanish, the proportion of each vary
ing according to the intended fineness
and price of the article, is combed and
spun into a fine, soft thread, and
woven, or oftener knit, into the conf
cal caps. These are soaked in oil, and
then kind of form being placed on
the knee of the workman, they are
milled by rubbing the sides together,
frequently turning the caps; by this
process they are reduced to about one
half their first size. When the cap is
sufficiently thickened, it is brushed
with BUR from O kind of thistle, in
order to bring out the nap, the fibers
which project too far being cut off with
shears. The caps, thus reduced,
mapped, and clipped, are in the form
of demi- globe, and are then sent to
Tarvsn to be dyed deep crimson, the
water of this place being peculiarly
adapted for the dyeing.

The bearing Of some men toward
their wives is we'll illustrated by the
little speech which Robert j. Burdette
puts in wife's mouth:
Now, I'll tell you why I wouldn't go
into the restaurant and have cup OF
coffee with you while you were waiting
for the train. i didnt like the way you
asked me. Keep quiet, l have the floor
Not half an hour before you said to MIR.
Puffer, ~Come, let's get q cigar" and
away you went, holding his arm, and
not giving him chance to decline.
When we met John O'Howdy on our
way to luncheon, you said, "yust in
time, John, come take lunch with us. I"
And then tonight when we found the
train nearly an hour late, you looked
at your watch, turned to me and said,
in questioning way: Would you like
a cup of cotfee?" And l did want it /;
was tired and little hungry. but I
would have tainted before 1 accepted
such an invitation. And you went away
q little bit vexed with me and had your
coffee and bread and butter by your
self, and didn't enjoy it very much. In
effect, you said to me: IF you want q
cup Of coffee, If you really want it, i
will buy it for you" You are the best
husband in the world, but you do as
nearly all the, best husbands do. Why
do you men seem to dole things out to
your wives while you fairly throw them
to the men you know? Why don't you
invite me heartily, as you invite men
Why didn't you say: "Come; let's get
a little coffee and something" and take
me along with you? You wouldn't say
to q man, would you like me to go
and buy you cigar?" Then why do
you always issue your little invitations
10 treats in that way to me? Indeed
indeed, my dear husband, if men would
only act toward their wives as heartily,
cordially, frankly as they do toward the
men whom they meet, they would find
cheerier companions at home than they
could at the club.

PROFESSOR T. G.. WoRMLEY, in his
new treatise on the Micro Chemistry of
Poisons, says: "The microscope may
enable us to determine with great GER
tainty that blood is not that of GER
tain animal. and may be the blood of
man; but in no instance does it, in it
self, enable us to say that the blood is
really human, or indicate from what
particular species of animal it was de-
rived" His measurements show that
there is but little difference in size be-
tween the blood corpuscles of man and
those of large variety of animals
