From the North American Review
1t Is curious fact that Mr.. Spencer was
formerly an advocate of female emancipation,
He now declares himself against it. The lib
erals were. until lately, the hope and trust of
the female suffragists. They, indeed, were
once on the verge Of passing a resolution on
the question through the house of commons
Recently, however, they appear to have
grown tired of the women, and the conserva-
tives have taken them up. These have
passed resolution at Birmingham in favor
OF female suffrage. When Mrs Fawcett-the
widow Of the blind postmaster general and
mother of Miss Fawcett who beat the
bridge-addresscd the convocation, she
said that the Gladstonians feared that the
women would reinforce the party of
order and the upholders Of the indissoluble
union between Great Britain and Ireland.
1t ID odd that Spencer should desert the
female emancipators Just as the primrose
danes have rendered such solid service to the
tory leaders as to convince large portion of
them that the ballot ought to be granted to
them. That women cannot 60 to war seems a
poor and idle plea for refusing them voice in
public affairs. Men who have passed the age
OF military duty are permitted to vote, aud
since the days OF Homer particular respect has
been given to their decisions 1t is only in
countries where the CONSUMPTION prevails that
weight would be attached to women's inabil-
itv for militant services In England and the
United States armies are formed by voluntary
recruitment. In the last century the recruit
ing system was almost universal AllcOuntries
would probably revert to it il women voted
Who shall say that the reversion would not be
good thing for civilization?

Mind Cure for the Grin.

From tbs Detroit Free Press.
One Of the best prescriptions ever given By a
physician was that one which Detroit practi-
toner recommended the other day. 1t is said
that patient called, and in a very nervous
condition expressed TO the doctor a belief tina,
he was coming down with the grin" Inc
medical man INDUCED in the usual formula OF
questions and then SAID abruptly and some
what severely:
You've been reading the papers"
The patient confessed that he indulKed in
such exercise as n habit, and the doctor con-
tnued:
"And you are trying to brighten yourself
into belief that you've got the grip"
The patient laughed feebly, at which the
doctor said:
Go about your business, work harder and
more continuously and think Of something be-
sides yourself and, in brief stop being fool. -
The prescription was taken ordered aud
the sick man got well in less than twenty-four
hours.

Whiskers Of q Nation.

From the Philadelphia Record
Whiskers have never been dreamed Of az a
factor in the history of nation. And yet the
administration Of President Lincoln marked an
epoch in the history of this country which,
while in itself Of no great national moment, is
none the less interesting from an historical
point of view. The administration Of "Old
Abe" not only witnessed the emancipation of q
race, but apparently instituted an unwrittcn
law compelling all Presidents of the United
States to cultivatea hirsute growth in marked
contrast with the smoothly shayen faces of
their predecessors. 1t is an interesting fact
that President Van Buren, was the only Presi-
dent previous to Lincoln who wore hair on his
face, and Andrew johnson was the only Presi-
dent after Lincoln who had Q smooth face.
These are the only exceptions to an otherwise
general rule.
Since the rebellion boards have predomi.
mated. They adorned the faces of Presidents
The element OF whiskers. pure and simple, was
represented by President Arthur. while Grover
Cleveland enjoys the distinction Of being the
only President who wore . Ihustache without
beard or whiskers.
Upon takinl summary the following ratio
appears: Fifteen Presidents wore smooth faces,
four wore beard and mustache, two wore side
whiskers, one wore beard and side growth aud
one wore mustache alone.
Aside from the appearance Of their faces,
with or without growth Of hair, the true en-
bodimeut of each nature can readily be read
from their countanauces Traits Of character
can readily be distinguished. The face of
Washington shows his noble mind. That OF
Jackson bears ample evidence Of the stern
qualities that characterized that great hero.
Lincoln's face is but an index to the man him.
self, while even the beard on Grants sombsr
countenance could not conceal that stern
strength Of purpose that was 20 active Ia the
salvation Of his country.
And so II goes through the entire list. The
culture and mental qualities of Garfield, the
Napoleonic air IT Cleveland and the calm rest
fullness of Harrison's mobile oountsnanee aas
all exemplifed in their faces.
