The Woman's Convention at Washing
ton appears to have been success, and to
have attracted more thoughtful and digni-
fed attention than any effort in a like d.
rection yet made. The proceedings are
said to have been conducted in manner
to call forth warm commendation from
publicists, while the debates are reported
to have been calm, strong and devoid of
rant or sentimental glamour. The SUBJ
.jects discussed under the titles education,
sanitary science, the status of woman be-
fore the law, charitable endeavor, philan-
'thropic effort; are said to have called out
papers and speeches that will take rank
with some Of the most learned and
thoughtful essays yet presented upon those
topics. We anticipated considerable good
from the meeting of the body, and the ex-
pectation has, very evidently, been re-
sponded to in manner that will much adj
vance the several causes in which women
are especially interested

Esthers friends when they learned of her
engagement to young man who bore the
reputation of being sad flirt Esther,
however, knew that her lover had good
qualities, and she was willing to take the
risk. IN nine cases out of ten it would

Well, Esther had cheerful, sunny temper
and great deal of tact. Then she enjoyed
perfect health and was always so sweet, neat
and wholesome that Fred found his home
most pleasant, and his own wife more
agreeable, than any other being. As the
year passed and he saw other women of
Esther's age grow sickly, faded and
querulous, he realized more and more that
he had Jewel of a wife, Good health
was half the secret of Esther's success. She
retained her vitality and good looks. be-

A DOCTORS bill is seldom less than
five dollars. and this doesn't include
the cost of filling prescriptions. One
dollar purchases bottle of Ayers Sar-
saparilla, which, in nine cases out of
ten. is all the medical treatment need
ed. Try it, and save your money for

The case of the State VS. Cole was

for want of evidence, thou h His
Honor told him he had no doubt he
was guilty.
"FiYe years ago I had constant

A centipede is afraid of a tarantula,
and when he lies down to sleep he al
ways takes the %precaution to build a a c
tus fence about him. A tarantula will
never crawl over cactus, and thus Sc
curely hedged in his own corral, the
centipede knows he may sleep as long as
he wants to, and his enemy can't get at
him. 1t is laughable out on the Mojave
desert to watch the security of these
centipedes as they lie and sleep, while
their arch enemies, the tar~antulas, are
looking over the garden wall, so to speak,
trying to get at them. l have seen the
%tarantulas nose around for hours before
giving it up. But the cactus is a sure
barrier. When once they become salts
fled there is a complete barrier they go
away and cease to thirst for the gore of
the centipede. The latter, however, al
ways takes a careful look around before
he removes the cactus and ventures
forth.-G. w. Dunn in San Francisco
Examiner.

Most of the spring jerseys have the
sleeves slightly full at the wristband, and
some are tucked at the top and bottom,
while others are shirred around to match
the shirred yoke of the bodice. They are
30 smooth that the wearer can't put SO
much as a thin pocketbook under them
without destroying the outlines. When
will women learn, l wonder, the utter
folly Of carrying purses in their muffs,
unless the muffs are properly provided
with hidden receptacles securely fastened2
l hope my %sympathies are not on the side
of dishonesty, as a rule; but l could not
help feeling angry when I read the other
day of a lady who casually left her muf
on a chair in a store, and when she re-
turned to her seat was surprised to find
that her purse had been distracted. The
woman who stole the money will no
doubt receive q severe sentence. AT the
same time, the lady who was robbed
might well be censured for putting temp
tation in the way of a probably needy
IN Her excuse, if she condescends
to give one, would doubtless be that she
couldn't reach her pocket.-Clara Belle

AT a recent meeting of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science, specimens OF a new honey plant
were exhibited. Six years ago it was
sown, with other seeds from Florida, by
Mr.. Chapman, of Versailles. The plant
is classified by Beal and Scrinton as the
echinops s~pherocephala. 1t belongs to
the teasel family, and, a native of Cen
trail France, has in some unaccountable
name become naturalized in Florida.
1t grows from four TO five feet high, and
bears large prickly leaves like those of a
thistle, and from twenty 10 thirty heads
of small white flowers, which open from
the top downward. The flowers are
very productive of nectar, and are there
fore very attractive to bees, 2,135 Of
which, by actual count, visited one head
of a plant between 8 a. m. and z p. IN.
Thirty heads furnished supplies for 60, 900
bees.-Frank Leslie's.
