The further assumption by Miss Sea-
well thut women can not invent any.
Thing, has been often disproved by
those taking the trouble to preserve
such statistics. Doubtless even preju.
diced observer may find in the collec'
tons at the Worlds fair, now near at
hand, many ingenious contrivances
that have been the product of woman's
invention.
We believe that truth which is becom-
ing every day less unrealized, and which
Is to the honor alike of all human kind,
that there is no sex in work or in soul.
Any labor of the hands, it has been
proven, is possible of being ac-
complisked equally well by men and
woman. Who IL the leading dressmaker
of the day, the first launderers, the
first-class cooks in tho homes of the
rich, the aproned walters at table? And
women has successfully performed
every work of the artisan, from the
blacksmith to the sculptor; has traced
plans for her house, and guided plow.
In the regions of the intellect it is the
same. Woman has proven her right as
an authority on every subject. The
brief Of the lawyer, the prescription of
the physician, the calculations of the
astronomer, the paper Of the mathema-
tician, the instruction in oratory, the
passage in literature is in nowise af-
fected in value by the garment with
which was clothed the mind that pro-
duced it. 1t is usually understood that
here, Mt least, is an uncontroverted
place; In mind, there is no sex. In the
sight of the Creator we are simply souls;
made in his image and possessing the
generic term of the race.
The possibilities of such {. mind we
can only conceive to be not only glorious
but immortal. Is it fit that we set up
limits To- these possibilities? Let us
rather believe I'm each other, appreciate
that worth which the world in general
comedies even, and consider that, while
environments have not always been
favorable and the motive often lacking,
In whatever work one chooses the high
est success may be and has been attain
ed irrespective of SEX That this success,
whether In finance, literature, or any
other calling, depends, and altogether
depends, ON individual merit and oppor-
Unity; while the failure of sister to

WHAT a SIGH MEANS.
Extract from Lecture by DIR. j. II. X clog
of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.

Extract from a Lecture by DR.. j. II. Kellogg,
of the Battle Creek sanitarium.
A sigh is slow inspiration accom-
panied by a peculiar movement of the
muscles. The most common occasion
for it is the want of breath. Every
sixth or seventh inspiration is naturally
little deeper than the others. But
when person sits down in relaxed
position with his shoulders forward,
his lungs do not have chance to
draw in the necessary amount of
air, and so nature rebels against
the restriction and compels him oc-
casionally to take a long, deep
breath in the manner of q sigh, and
that ventilates the lungs and washes
out the poisons. The process must be
repeated as often as he allows himself
to collapse INTO a bad position. Notice
a student as he bends closely over his
book or slate. Presently he straightens
up and does what is considered an i'll
hammered thing-he puts his arms to
the back of his neck as in the Swedish
gymnastics, which brings his shoulders
back and raises his chest. 1t
is in fact, natures antidote for
bad position, and it is better
to encourage school children to do it
than otherwise. If we were more OBJ.
serving nature would teach us many
important lessons in the things which
we do automatically.
The old saying is that every sigh
drives nail into our coffin, but that
must refer to the man who goes about
signing. with long, sad face, the
lines of his mouth pointing down.
ward and his head bent. His
whole position is an attitude Of
weakness. His long face and bowed
head makes his shoulders fall in, his
stomach is collapsed, lungsare cramped,
muscles relaxed and everything wrong
because of his long face and signing.
A man who carries bright, hopeful
face, holds his head and his body erect
and the effect is just as marked on his
bodily condition as it is upon his counte-
nce.-Reported by Helen L. Manning.

DECORATION DAY.

We have but to glance about US to
note the fast and constant thinning of
the sturdy rank and file of the heroes
whose services and sacrifices saved our
government from destruction. Each
succeeding year brings with it greater
responsibility upon the few who vet
remain in the performance of that
patriotic duty SO pleasant and remind
full to the old soldiers-that of placing
the emblem for which they fought
the glorious stars and stripes,-or few
flowers upon the graves of their fallen
comrades on Decoration Day. AS a
general rule throughout the country,
what is done in this line is begun and
largely carried out by those who were
participants in the great conflict and
survived its terrors and hardships
But the time is not far distant when the
last old veteran will have been swept
away in the battle of life and this
sacred duty will be left to the young
men now growing into manhood. Let
us then by active interest, on Monday
next, as loyal citizens and patriotic
people, set an example for these
young men in patriotism, respect
and love of country by planting the
flag of freedom in profusion on the
graves of the martyrs of liberty. The
program for Decoration Day will be
carried out as follows under the
direction of Commander J. w. Cochran:
Wood County Post No. % G. A. r.,
will meet at Post rooms at 10 O'Clock
a. m. sharp and proceed to the cemetery
escorted by the Gardner Rifles and
the Woman's Relief Corps. Here the
decoration of the graves and the usual
services will be held, the salute will be
fred by the whole company of Gardner
Rifles. Return and disband until
afternoon.
The ladies relief corps will serve a
free dinner to all the old soldiers in
the Opera Rink on Decoration day.
To all others wishing to eat here it will
Dc CcHlS. LIZ ill w uO llaNC 1OWoTS To
send, the ladies ask that they be left at
the G.. A. r. Hall as early Monday
morning as possible.
G. A. R. will gather at the Post at l 80
p. m. and march to the rink escorted by
the Gardner Rifles. Public services
will commence at o'clock, the address
will be delivered by Rev. VIM. Kill
bourne. The music will be in charge of
f. J. Wood.
The children of our schools were
asked to join in the march but it was
thought by many to be too long walk
for them so they have been excused.
Sunday preceding Decoration Day,
according to the custaan--ef the, order
and general orders from the Depart
ment at Headquarters, the veterans
will meet at Post at 10 4. m. and attend
Memorial services at the M. f. church
in body. The memorial services will
be conducted by Rev. A. 0. Nuss.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

BULLETIN No. Z.
Even with favorable weather corn
and potatoes will not be in the ground
before June LIST, and if clear weather
does not come at once it will be still
later. However, heavy crops are pos
sible after that date of planting. All
that is needed is normal temperature;
not too hot, as it would bake the ground
in its saturated condition: ---'e-'---
The clear weather of Monday and
Tuesday enabled farmers to do little
work on high well drained fields, but
rain began on Wednesday morning and
continued during Thursday. A marked
fall in temperature Thursday night
turned the rain to snow, and during
Thursday night and Friday from two to
six inches of snow fell over the central
and northern parts of the state. With
these conditions prevailing it is needless
to say that crops have made but little
headway. On ground too high to be
flooded by the excessive rains, winter
wheat, rye and grass show a marked
improvement, but on low ground con-
siderable damage has been done by
flooding; particularly is this true of
fields adjacent to running streams.
But little fruit was in bloom and no
damage to speak of is reported by the
snow and cold of Thursday night.
Tobacco plants are looking we'll and will
probably be ready before the ground is
in condition for them.
The season is a phenomenal one. The
records of the Weather Bureau do not
show such an amount of precipitation
during the first three weeks of any
previous May, except that of 1876, when
it was about the same.
The normal rainfall for this week in
MAY is about so of an inch.

you c,,nlot find it at this hotel in San
Diego, you cannot find it anywhere.
They tell us great stories about the
climate and weather of which we know
but little. If to-day is Il sample of their
weather, it is certainly perfect. The
little city of Coronado is adorned with
beautiful plants and Towering shrubs.
There are also an interesting ostrich
farm, botanical gardens and a most in
structive museum containing over ten
thousand specimens of natural curios
tiles, from the delicate sea moss to the
great shaggy mammoth, three times
the size of the largest elephant. Tn
fortunately time did not permit of our
stopping here.
San Diego has Il reported population
of 10000 people. 1t is wholly a summer
resort and always most active in busi-
ness during the winter months. To-
night, Monday, we meet the people at
the Hotel Del Coronado i'll reception
and dance. They say the reception
parlors and dance hall are decorated to
an eXtravagant degree.
The thermometers indicate 65 here to-
day They say it does not vary 10 de-
grees from this during the entire year.
Our party being so large every time we
come to a hotel or eating house every
one wants to be first, so there is a great
deal of hustling and crowding. Human
nature is here well eXemplified and
displayed. We are always thankful
under these circumstances that we are
large and weigh 235 pounds.
We leave this city tonight, Monday,
at II o'clock for Los Angeles where we
will give our time to our brother Ernest
and family. Our letters are necessarily
short and incomplete because we cam
not possibly give the time to write
them. On our return home we will try
and give the trip its just deserts.
