Education Noble Sentiment

AT banquet OF the University OF
Texas, which Is 60 educational in all its
departments, S B. Maxey, ex-United
States senator, said:
To the female students | beg to say
that co-education of the sexes is nc
longer an experiment. 1t is proved
success. The just revelations between
the sexes are better understood than
ever before in the worlds history. Wo
man, without looseDing her hold on that
knightly respect and courtesy with
which she has always been treated in our
favored land, has proven herself intellect
ually formidable competitor of that sex
which in the very olden, distant time
proclaimed man to be the lord of human.
kind. Here, as elsewhere, she has proven
her right and ability to compete for
honors. The moral Influence of CO.
education is great and beneficial to both
sexes. The attention paid to female edu

especially in the last half of it, is ID high
evidence Of advancing civilization.

the girl equally with the boy and gives
employment to the women equally with

What am 1 TO DO

The symptoms of Biliousness are un.
happily but too well known. They differ in
different individuals 10 some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of a
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
Alrred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be
a symptom or the two may alternate. There
are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or tiatulence and tenderness III
the pit OF the stomach. To correct all this,
if not effect a cure try Green's August
Flower, it cost but tritie and thousands
attest Its efficacy. 3.

somebody sees that bit of thread, There
is an irresistible temptation about it that

Indeed very few men can regard it with

is for the miserable victim to try to tieck
it off your coat. This failing the thread
is taken between the thumb and finger
and an effort made to remove it. The
result is that couple of yards of thread
are pulled out, and then anxious to hide

Lincoln as a Dancer.

General Singleton, of Quincy, ILL.,, who
was one of the bright young lawyers of
Springfield when Abraham Lincoln was
ii green youth there, tells the story,
which we believe has never been printed
before. The bevy of bright young ladies
to which Miss Todd belonged before her
marriage to Mr.. Lincoln. used to have a
good deal of sport at this awkward young
mans expense. One evening at little
party Mr.. Lincoln approached Miss Todd
and said in peculiar idiom:
miss Todd, l should like to dance
with you the worst way"
The young lady accepted the inevitable
and hobbled around the room with him.
When Miss Todd had returned to her
seat one of her mischievous companions
said:
Well, Mary, did he dance with you the
worst way.
Eyes, ''she answered.; "tke very worst"

under glass and are distributed in like manner
All expenses. cost OF pots included, are borne
by the Horticultural society, which has recently
offered prizes for the best exhibits by window
gardeners.
The benehciaries of this philanthropic scheme
are mostly children. who, once started in the
enterprise. evince the greatest enthusiasm for
private horticulture. At the request of the So
clety, communicated by circular. many of the
churches have adopted the plan of giving to
each boy and girl in their Sunday schools a
potted plant, instead of the usual bunch Of
flowers, on occasions of religious festival Last
Easter Sunday 5000 such plants were distrib-
uted, each one to serve as a nucleus for a win
dow garden. Not only will these gardens
serve to heautify the city, as it is conceived
but the incidental teaching of the younger
generation 10 love and care for flowers must
necessarily be followed by good results.
INSTRUCTIONS.
One point arose which the committee had not
foreseen. The child, upon receiving its plant,
at once began to ask questions regarding the
manner Of its growth, the watering Of it, ma
nuring, and so on ad infinitum. To form
classes for instruction in the art Of window
gardening was hardly possible. and so the diff
fculty was met by the publication of a PAM
phlet embodying the fullest information on the
subject, with an appendix giving a list of the
wild flowers of Massachusetts,, and stating
where they can be obtained at the season when
they bloom. 1t is intended that each child
shall have copy of this pamphlet free. so as
to be equipped for starting conservatory on a
! small scale under the most favorable condi-
lions possible. In the spring and autumn Of
each year the city forester gives away quanti-
ties of plants of all kinds. and SO. in one way or
another, the whole community is encouraged
to grow things for aesthetic purposes. 1t is a
notion worthy of adoption by other cities of
less general enlightenment than Boston prides
herself upon. RENE BAcHE

THE MoNEY-MAKINa PASSENGER.
Then there is the money-making passenger.
The company's employees hate him more thor
0nghly than they do the dishonest passenger.
He, too. perches up near the box Of bob
tail" and to him the passengers pass their
fares. Three out of Ave will give him a
money fare, but the cash never tinkles down
the brassy or CLASSY slopes into the receiver.
He has tickets, and he uses them to advantage
GIVE him 10 cents with which to pay two fares
and be will drop two tickets in the box, while
your dime will slide into his pocket He is
generally on the cars when the crowds are
going to the theaters, and it is poor night for
him when he cannot ride free and in addition
to that luxury make enough to buy a quart of
peanuts with which to solace himself as he
watches the stage from the lofty altitude of
the gallery.
TROUBLES OF THE TRANSFER AGENTS.
The transfer agents have their troubles, too,
and in spite Of their experience and their best
efforts the 'beat' continues to exercise his or
her calling. 1t is quite common for men and
women to work themselves into the crowd
which can generally be found at q transfer cor
ner, and TO ask for transfer with an unsur-
Passable effrontery. Sometimes they are caught,
but the public never sympathizes with the
catcher. 1t always thinks that the company is
trying TO abridge somebody's rights, and it
talks Tor twenty-four hours afterward about the
soullessness Of corporations. Very FREQUENTLY
people try to pass Of old transfers upon con-
ductors aud drivers, and they meet all remon-
strances by insisting that the error, If there is
one, is with the company's employs at the
transfer.
THE MOST DARING TRICK
(pracsised Is frequently by women - by men)
Is becoming somewhat stale now, and the oper-
ator has TO be clever to do it successfully. 1t
consists In jumping on, say, south-bound 9th
street car at street, just - it stops. They
always get on on the side farthest away from
the transfer agent. The crowd gets out, and
Just ~ the last one ID getting OF the tgickster,
