May not now give a word OF advice

apply to those about to graduate.
In the first place, do not overrate
your ability when asked, How money
words do you write in n minute?" In
fact, lower your record little, as you
will never be able to accurately tran.
scribe your college-ratc OF words from
a strangers dictation the first time,

Gus, and you will never remember n
word Of which you have written, but
be obliged 10 rely upon your notes en-
tirely; so keep your record within
bounds when asked the question. Ones

Over and above everything, keep

OUTLET OPENING.
Representative Peel Talks En-
couragingly of the Prospects.
FIXING UP FOR CONFERENCE.
Intruders to he Compensated For I'm
provements aud the Lad to lie
Opened. Cherokee why
NIIiy.

WASHINGTON, Feb 7.-Representative
Peel was busy trying to decide on two
men from his committee on Indian af-
fairs TO take with him as conferees to
meet the senate committee on the ques-
ton OF opening Of the Cherokee outlet
The senate committee is made up OF
Senators Platt, Petugrew and Jones,
Of Arkansas Peel will pick out his
aids In day or two
There will be no great trouble or
difference" said Mr. Peel, "between
the senate and the house committee.
We are heartily agreed already that
the outlet must be opened aud the bill
opening IL must be passed at this con-
gress My own effort will be TO
leave as little as possible for the
Cherokees to settle or pass on, and
nothing at all II we can come TO that
Platt Of course, holds certain views
about what our course should be touch
ing intruders' at variance with mine,
but will give way to any proper ex-
tent so as to bring about an agreement
which will accomplish the main pur.
pose-that is, open the strip My own
belief now Is that the outcome of our
conference will be that we will pay the
Cherokees all or large share Of their
money down and that provision will
be included which will recognize the
rights and pay the intruders' the
value OF their improveme Whether
this will come out OF the Cberokees or
come out Of the United States I'm not
prepared 70 say. This, too, Is sure: IL
the bill leaves anything for the Chero-
KEGS 20 agree 10 there will be provisions
In the bill which will open the outlet
without their consent, II they withhold
H. Our report 10 the senate and house
need not be looked for before the last
Of the month IL will come back and
20 through probably some time during
the last week Of this congress There
will be no trouble"
Senator Cocltrell said also that what
ever the conference committee agreed
TO would go through both houses with
out any doubt ''Of course" said Sena-
tor Cockrell, sit is possible for either
the senate or house TO depart from or
refuse approval TO the report of a con-
ference committee, but II Is 80 improb-
able and unusual that you might say 1t
Is never done at all II won't be done
In opening the outlet, anyway, you can
be sure Of that, and whatever the com
mittee agrees TO will be made law"
Everything Is quiet The Indians are
stu praising Capt Brown and the po'
lice for doing their duty. Col Cisney
United States inspector, is still here

says no further trouble is anticipated

"a.
Nv Ia question wus apitnted in
athens even before Plato wrote his Re-
public, in which he advocates equal
education and holds the modern theory
that women have the same capacities
as men. These ideas were perhaps first
gained from Aspasia and the circle OF
thinkers meeting Mt her house. IL was
in parody OF them that Aristophancs
wrote his plays against women; and
the satire could hardly have been np-
preciatcd by a general audience II the
theories ridiculcd had not been n mat
ter OF common talk. In one OF these
plays women appear as peaccmakcrs.
They are tired Of the long war between
Athens and Sparta, and resolve to end
1t 10y getting hold Of the citadel and the
public treasury in H. The sincws Of
war being thus withdrawn, the two
cities-in the play-nre forced to make
peace. In another play the women,
under the lead OF q ,trong-mindcd mat
ron, take possession OF the Assembly.
The satire lies in this, that after claim
ing the right TO lcgislate ON the plea
that, as women are more conservative
than men, the old constitution will be
safer in their hands, they no sooner get
the power than they kurn every thing
