A WOman's Logic.
From the Boston journal.

from the Boston JOURNAL.
After the woman suffrage hearing at the
state house on Friday lady approached Ar
thur Lord, who has conducted the case for the
remonstrants, and said: "Mr. Lord. did you
know that there are in many places in this
state classes of young women earnestly study
ing political economy and methods of govern
ment to fit themselves for the duties of po-
litical life?''
Yes" WAS Mr.. Lords reply. Il am aware of
it. Do you know anything about Smith COL
lege. in this stateS"
"Oh, yes" answered his interrogator, 'and a
very worthy institution it is, giving our young
women a splendid training, and in just those
very matters
"And did you know" continued Mr.. Lord,
"that the senior class at Smith college has
just voted that the ballot is not desirable for
nor desired by women?"
They're nothing but ignorant schoolgirls
and ought not to be needed was the comment
of the lady, with instant change of front.
And the conversation ended at once

The Modern Influence of Cities.

From the st. Louis Republic.
1t is the wise remark of popular writer,
who keeps his eyes and ears open. that this is
to be permanently nation of cities. The At
lantic slope is already urban. The day is not
distant when the shores of the great lakes and
the valley of the Mississippi will rival in the
number and magnifcence of their cities the
valleys of the Nile and the Euphrates when
the civilization of the east dazzled at the
zenith. Already the cities dictate to the towns
and villages. Through their pulpits, benevo-
lent organizations and religious newspapers
they originate and express the convictions of
the churches. Through their great dailies
they dominate in politics. Through their mar
kets, importers, banks, exchanges they dictate
financially. Through architecture they shape
the farmers house. Through horticulture and
landscape gardening they improve the appear
every farm. City views, customs, influence are
predominant

The "Glare" Of Our White Skins.

From the London Globe.
Nothing is more common than for Europeans
to complain Of the difficulty they have in indi-
vidualizing men of dark races who to the eye
of the white man seem all more or less alike
The natives of India have apparently exactly
the same difficulty with white men. Some men
of the Lancashire regiment stationed at Benares
recently broke loose and raided liquor shop
in a neighboring village. Some of the culprits
were SO drunk that the authorities easily dis
covered them, but in order to spot the remain
der the regiment was paraded. and the viii
layers were asked to point out the guilty men,
They absolutely failed to do so in single case
whereupon native paper, commenting on the
incident, says: Not doubt of it. One Of the
most difficult feats under the sun is to identity
Europeans-they are so much alike with their
loud, glaring white color. We wonder whether
their friends and relations are at loss as to
who's Who?'

A Diamond Among the Marbles.

From the Cleveland Paindealer.
Early last spring Mrs. L. C. Abraham, then
living on Euclid avenue, lost a diamond which
was one of a pair of earrings, the pair being
valued at 81 200. The diamond when lost was
incased in gold ball. More than ten months
passed, and, as there was no response to the
advertisements, it was given up as lost But.
strange things happen in this prosaic world.
and Mrs. Abraham is again in possession of her
diamond. 1t was returned to her last Friday.
and it came about in this way. Last spring,
about the time the stone was lost a workman
named John Scott happened to look into the
gutter and there saw the small golden ball. He
picked itup and the next day showed it to some
OF his fellow-employes. He even offered it as
gift to the workman at the next bench to him.
but he said: What do / want with the thing?
It's no good. only brass plaything." So Scott
took it home and gave it to his children. The
little ones had a bag of marbles, and they added
the golden ball to the collection, rolling it
about the floor: This sort of thing was kept
up for 10 months. One day last week a woman
living in the neighborhood called on the Scott
family and the youngsters were rolling the
golden ball about the floor. The woman
picked 1T up, examined it closely. and said:
Why, there's crease right around the center
OF II. The two women went to work on ii
until the gold ball was opened, and right in
the center of it was dazzling and precious
gem. A consultation was held among the
neighbors and Scott took the diamond down to
CHATTER Beckers and showed it to Mr.
Becker, who advised him to advertise it.
Finally the advertisement was read by Mrs
Abraham. her husband went down to see it.
and could scarcely believe his eyes when he
beheld the sparkling gem lost by his wife
nearly year ago. He gave the finder a re-
ward OF $50 and restored the missing earring
to his wife
