Boston Women Neglect Voting.

Boston Commonwealth.
A curious phenomenon is the rapid decrease
of the women's vote In Boston. Only three
years ago. %, ,252 women registered, and all but
about 800 of them voted. There was great ex-
element that year, and the women were in
duced to avail themselves of the privilege by all
manner of appeals to their feelings. But the
next year only 1O,5S9 registered and 10000
voted; last year the number was still further
reduced to 1925; and at the coming munich
pal election there will be less than 5000 wo-
men who can vote. Opponents of woman
suffrage undoubtedly see In this confrma-
tion of their opinion that women do not care
to vote except when excited and are, there
fore, by so much disqualified from casting an
intelligent ballot. And if it does not mean
this, what does it mean9

Settin' on her dads verandy.
Then one August, too. 1 thought I'd
Ask her, in the clover medder;
Had set speech; but somehow abe
Looked too cold to take the header.
Next time wuz tn slidin' party
Out at Crawford's, an Mirandy
Said she'd slide If could find a
Extra-sized toboggan handy.
That Jest set me tinglin', sol
Asked her IL she'd go joggin'
With my arms around her, slidin'
Right along on life's toboggan.
Then Mirandy smiled her sly way,
With the color all buddin'
In her cheeks; an said as how the

But she whispered if I'd steer her,

Down life's groove as that toboRgan,

IfI'd always guard her, keepin'
Round my arms fer safe projections;
Watchin' fer the bumps an strivin'
Always in tn right direction.

The Best Air Not Highest Up.

luSuiCdl OlhSSlCb.
The popular belief that occupants of the
highest floors in city house live in the purest
air seems TO be upset by recent tests made of
the atmosphere of London, which showed
that the purest air was obtained between 80
and 40 feet above the streets.

TRAVELLING IN EUROPE.

Good Meals Served on Trains at Less Cost Than i'm This Country.
 had meal on Mir. Depews road the other day which cost me a dollar, says a writer in the Detroit Free Press. I gave quarter to the colored waiter who brought me the dollars worth, and he looked at it as though he had never seen such a small coin before and won- dered what 1t was used for. He little suspected that usually had my midday meal for quarter in Detroit. Now, Mir. Depew, let me tell you what hap pened to me a few weeks ago on one of the despised government lines in Europe. took the morning train from Basel or Basic in Switzerland to May ence in Germany, the train belonging to the Baden states. The conductor came along, and, after taking my ticket, gave me slip of paper on which was printed in four languages the following information: was to tell the conductor whether at certain point wanted dinner, and if so how many of them. The dinner, the paper went on to say, consisted of two kinds of meat, roast chicken, three kinds of vegetables, bread, butter, cheese, pud- ding and half bottle of either white or red wine. The cost of this would be slightly over fifty cents, and all this in a country where provisions are very much dearer than they are in America. There were two of us, and we ordered two dinners. The conductor pasted the figure ''two' on the window of the com partment.
 When we came to the place where the dinners were to be had walters came rushing along the platform with the dinners on wooden trays, which the paper aforementioned said would serve an excellent table for two people by merely sitting opposite each other and placing the board upon their knees. Exceedingly clean table linen accom- panied the spread. The walters at tended only to those who had the num- bers on their windows, and into each compartment they put the number ol dinners indicated on the window.
 The trouble with American railways is that they seem to look on traveller as merely victim to be feeced. A man without long purse has to put up with mighty poor accommodations. The only exception that I know of is the Canadian Pacific, where in ordinary cars they bring around very good coffee and fresh sandwiches at extremely reasonable rates. This Is kink that might be followed with advantage on American roads,

 To backward be ye merry, or have merry company about you, so that, to backward, no anger nor heaviness, sornes nor pensifulness do trouble or disquiet.

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca, Mo-, during the past two years has been affected with Neuralgia of the Head, Stomach and Womb, and writes: My food did not seem to strengthen me at all and my appe- tite was very variable. My face was yellow, my head dull, and had such pains in my left side. In the morning when I got up would have flow of mucus in the mouth, and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes my breath became short, and I had such queer, tumbling, palpitating sensations around the heart. ached all day under the shoulder blades, in the left side, and down the back of my limbs. It seemed to be worse in the wet, cold weather of Winter and Spring; and whenever the spells

CRUEL DECEPTION.
Practical Joke Played on . Young Lad
 Visiting Cape Cod.

 Practical Joke Played on . Young Lady
 Visiting Cape Cod.
 The practical joke played on . young lady who recently visited the cape will, no doubt, in time come to her ears, so it may as well be told here, says the Cape Cod Item. Her brother, who is full of mischief, informed her privately after her arrival that the residents of the cape pronounced marsh mash, and that it would be an exhibition of good taste on her part if she used the cape pronunciation while here. The good natured girl adopted the suggestion, and rather astonfshed young man a few days later by saying to him:
 '1 suppose as you live here you are on the mash a good deal"
 Thinking that she had reference to the fact that the female is rather in ex- cess of the male population, he could only stammer:
 "Well, CT, no, can't say that am. :"
 "That is rather strange" said she; eff I were you I would be. Indeed" she continued, as she cast her eyes over the expanse of green flat spread out be- fore her, "I think you are fortunate to have such a chance"
 Perspiring and blushing to the roots of his hair, he blurted out:
 "I would like to go on it, certainly, but the young ladies here are so very modest and proper In their conduct that that, well, it wouldn't do, don't you know"
 'I don't see what that has to do with it." she answered, turning away from him, as much astonished at his language as he was at hers.

Worth More Than Gold.

The phrase worth it's weight in gold" no longer expresses the idea which it was intended to convey For there are at least twenty substances worth more than gold. Berylium, for instance, is worth about ten times its weight in pure gold, and vcnadium is five times as costly as the precious metal. Iridium, also, is more than twice as costly as gold. The text books used to say that platinum was the only metal more valuable than gold, but it now costs about the same.

the eye of civilization for years.
This place had quite an extended

us, had once been the favorite hunting

the advent of the Republic had been
