 The total number of women who voted in Wichita, Kansas, at the recent municipal election in that city is found to be SIS.

One of the number wrote hereself "house- keeper and wife" and another added to theae words mother" Twenty six were "teach- ers," 23 dressmakers," 15 housewives" had ''no occupation" 7 were "sports," 'tchambermaids, 6 fcooks," ssstudents," music," professional nurses," "bawdy- house keepers" ''beok agents," ''clerks," 3 ''milliners," 2 'artists," 2 "jounalists," ''laundresses," 3 'sdoctors, !" 9 'bookkeepers," 3 "waiters," 3 "matrons" and sslaborers."

 MT. Huston, the newly appointed United States treasurer, has had rather disgusting experience with ofiee-seekers. On his arri- val in Washington to enter upon the duties of his office the new treasurer took rooms ct the Ebbi.t House, but was SO beset with throngs of his Indiana acquaintsnces and their friends, whe wanted something which they supposed he might have influence enough to get for them, that he left the Eb- bitt for a small and quiet family hotel near by, where he hoped they would not find him. A day or two later he was found by friend preparing to go back to the Ebbjtt, and in answer to an inquiry said he had been told by the landlord that he could not remain there The landlord explained that he had no objection to MT. Huston or his family; but, said he, "there is crowd of Hoosiers here from morning till night wearing out the very steps to my house. They fill the hall- ways, crowd my guests and monopolize every inch of space. Why, it's worse than an Indiana convention, and won't have it.'

REFORM IN mASSACHUSETTs Massachusetts ia ooin, in for nura alec

REFORM IN MASSACH CSETTS.
 Massachusetts is going in for pure elec- tions. She already has ballot reform law, and now bill to directly prevent the im- proper spending of money at elections is be- fore the legislature. The first section pro- vides that State, district, city, town and all other committees of all political parties and political clubs and other equivalent organi- cations shall cause to be kept by their treas- urers detailed accounts of all moneys re- ceived by them, and of the manner in which the same have been expended; and within twenty days after any election at which State officers or members of congress are chosen, the treasurer of any such committee, club or other organization which shall have expend- ed in the aggregate more than S10O in the campaign preceding such election, or in any way in connection with the same, shall file with the secretary of the commonwealth 8 return, setting forth all of it's receipts and a detailed statement of all its expenditures and disbursements.
 Section two of the bill provides that any member of any of the committees, clubs or other organizations described in section one, who shall receive or disburse any moneys for political or campaign purpos es, or in connec- tion with any election set forth in section one, shall forthwith give to the treasurer of such committee, club or other organization 8 detailed statement of such receipts and ex- penditures; and such treasurer shall include such statement in his return, required by said section one. And no member of any of said committees, clubs or other organizations shall receive, disburse or expend any moneys for political or campaign purposes, or in con- neotion with any election, unless the commit tee, club or other organization of which he is member shall first have chosen treasurer to keep it's accounts.
 It is further provided that whoever shall be elected member of congress on to any State office shall, within ten days after such election, file with the sec retary of the com- monwealth detailed statement of all mon- eys contributed, disbursed or expended by him, in attempting to secure, or in any man ner in connection with, his nomination or election to such office, provided that all such moneys shall exceed in the aggregate $10O. And that any expenditure of money made to influence or affect the action of a caucus or convention, or the result of an election, or the vote action of any person at caucus or convention or in an election, shall be deemed to be an illegal expenditure, unless made for the purpose of circulating printed and written matter, or of holding public meetings, caucuses and conventions, or of maintaining political headquarters, or for other things reasonably incidental to such purpose.
 The penalty of breaking this law is to be & fine not exceeding $1 1000. The house has passed the bill by large majority, and it is believed that it will go through the senate without difficulty.

FACTS ABOUT BABIES.
Akin 50 the Lower Animals-Bog,
 smiles and No Tcars as All.

Akin 50 the Lower ARimals-Bogus
 Smiles and No Tears at Ali.
 In the course of lecture delivered in New
 York the other day, distinguished female physician said that the inability of 8 baby to
 hold up it's head was not due to the weakness of the neck, but to the lack of development of it's will power. The act of standing was instincJive and initiative, while facial ex- pression and gesture were due almost wholly
 to imitation.
 A baby's smile, she said, was the most
 misunderstood thing in infancy. A real
 smile must have an idea behind it, but the expression resembling smile, which is so often seen on a very young babys face, was without an idea and was due to the easy condition or the stomach or to some other physical satisfaction. The smile with an idea does not appear earlier than the fourth week. So, too, with the crying of baby. The contortion of the features is due to phis- ical causes. The baby sheds no tears be- cause the lachrymal glands are not devel- ped for several weeks after birth. The chief pleasure of all children is to change from one condition to another by their own eff forts. This is the beginning of the develop ment of the will power. and is often attessed in what has been called the Imperative in- .ention of tears." This is not disclosed un- ! til after the second or third month. A baby ! tests everything by it's mouth, it's sense of taste being the surest and most reliable | guide it has. The attention of all young ! children Is difficult to attract, and they must ! attain considerable age before they begin to | notice. Then colors and sounds are most potential. Fear has been known to be man ifested by baby only three weeks old, and, | in all cases, the sensation is produced by I sound more than by sight. Children of lux | urious and carefully guarded homes are all ! most wholly without fear, but the children of poor and exposed parents always mani ] fest it. Jealousy and sympathy begin to manifest themselves in the second year. Curiosity also begins to develop here, and proves to be self-feeder throughout child hood. A little later the ago begins to ap- pear, and the baby has the first conscious
 ness of itself. The ego first appears a
 muscular ssnse, and the infant gradually
 learns to distinguish itself from surrounding
 objects. It is first the hand that is distin-
 guished, and then the foot, and finally the
 whole body. Memory does not appear be-
 fore the child is two years of age. All the
 reasoning of children is primitive and ele.
 nentary and develops slowly. Darwin mo- ticed an association of ideas in the mind of
 his child when 1t was only five months of
 age. The lecturer related experiences of ba-
 bies with the first views of mirrors, and
 showed that their actions under the new
 conditions were similar to those of an
 thropoid apes and dogs under like condit-
 ions.

AsURPRIsED CLERGYMAN.

 Then Asked Him to church.

Then Asked Him to church.
 From the St. James Gazette.I
 The following incident is related on the authority of w. L. Bright, NJ. F.: "Mr. Bright went into an agricultural district one day, and he had to walk from the station a long way into the village. On the way 8 clergyman who was driving in 8 dog-cart came up to him, and the two men passed the time of day. The clergyman offered to drive Mir. Bright into the village and MT. was a Tory and he had been reading a speech Mir. Bright had made the previous night, and turning to MT. Bright he said: Have you seen the papers to-day, sira'
 "'Yes,' said MT. Bright. Whats in themP
 "'Why, that rascal John Bright has been making another speech
 "tAnd what was it about?' asked MT. Bright:
 went on to relate the incidents of the speech. They discussed the topic, and Mir.
 "Sswell, it is just possible that MT. Bright may have been right, and that he was only expressing his honest convictions. There may be something in it. "sOh, no, there can't be- said the irate clergyman. IF had him here I'd feel just l like shooting him.
 "Neither revealed his identity, but before they separated the clergyman invited MT. | Bright to go to his church next morning, and Mr. Bright promised to go. And he kep. | his word as he always did. The clergyman took for his theme MT. Bright's speech, and al the conclusion MT. Bright thanked him fol | his very able sermon. AS he was going home to dinner friend of the clergy man met him and said:
 1 You have been preaching under distin euished patronage this morning, then
 |" 'No,' said the clergyman.
 "'Oh, yes, you have,' said the friend
