Teachers More Than Studies.

And the choice of teachers is more impor-
taDt than the choic- OF studies. Work under
the best teachers. A great teacher never fails
to leave great mark on every young man or
young woman with whom he comes In contact.
BOYS and girls should therefore not receiv the
same education. Even in the same schools
their training should differ most widely. Each
one as an individual should receive what is
best for him; and in any college worthy the
name this best can bo found, and the student
will be left TO find it.
Shall boys and girls receive an equivalent
training? In other words. shall the work OF
girls be as severe and serious as that OF boys
should be? By ali means, yes. There are
mental and physical differences, but these are
not differences of superiority or infrriorty.
The value of thorougbness for girls is as great
as for boys. No sound system Of educal ion of
women eau be based on the assumption OF the
inferiority and natural leyily OF girls.
Shall boys and girls 90 TO the same school
This is in degree. matter of taste. For my
own children, yes. II school is good for the
one, IL is good for the other. am thorough
believer In the good effects of coeducaiion IN
higher education. Boys behave better, think
better, and have more rational views OF life II
sDey are not Isolated from women. Girls are

Work In the same classes with boys.
COeoucation has come to stay. 1t has no evil

luiions devoted TO the higher education of men

Why Mark Twain Avoids the
Great English Warrior.

Six or eight years ago, the Rev. Joseph
Twichell OF Hartford called on his neighbor,
Mark Twain. and told him story that made the

lips OF an English clergyman, CHAPLAIN in the
British army. Ii related TO the career OF a SOL

during the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny
and, indeed throughout The whole period of his
service, had been due TO the fortunate out
come OF his errors, rather than the happy eX-
cution OF well-reasoDed plans. The story was
calculated to confirm any hearers impression
that luck is the determining factor In human
affairs. When Mr.. wichell left the house.
Mark Twain wrote down what he had heard
and poked the manuscript in a pigeon-hole
Three or four years later, on rummagiug in his
desk, he came upon the story, and sent IL TO
Harper's Monthly; and 1t was printed in the
issue OF that magazine for August, 1891, under
the title Luck"
Shortly afterward Mr.. Clemens we1t to Eng

him was keep away from General WolSeley.

HE WOULD WAIT.

There's one hired girl in Detroit who ought to

Finally the strain became too great for him and
he came TO the door.

LONDON POSTAL SERVICE.
Something About Those Who Are
Engaged In Ii.

The postal service IN London, tbs best and
most rapid in the world. is an interesting
study, with its 5000 employees. The average
wage of the 1000 assorlers and stampers in
the general office is sos week. Most OF
these are married men. We hear that the best
hope of the laboring classes must ever
deDend upon the skllIul administra-
ton of their earnings and the
right investment of their savings. But
how can man, who has as many children as
he has dollars week, have any savings 10 in
veNI? These men work eight hours on divided
time. For instance. from 10 A. NJ. and to
s P. NJ. They stamp 1900 letters an
hour by hand and 5000 by machine.
The average daily turnover al the Office
in $. Martins lie Grand is more than

ANXIOUS TO VOTE.
Equal Rights League in
Convention.
Inc Ladies Tndorse All Candidates
for Public Office Who Endorse
Womau's Suffrage.

The ladies composing the Equal Rights
League assembled in force at the meeting
or convention which was held at the Cali
fornia Hotel yesterday afternoon. The
proceedings were as tranquil as summer
sea, and Mrs. Emma Gregory. the chair
man. had little or no use for Roberts rules
of order or parliamentary law OF any de-
scrlplion. The gathering was called
convention by the female champions Of
woman's suffrage; and. unlike the nomi-
mating bodies of Messrs. Burns. Rainey
d Co., was entirely devoid of wire pulling
tactics, sptead-eagle speeches or the pres
ence of slate breakers.
Being members of a convention, the
ladies were 10 duty bound to make nOmi-
nations. or at least indorse candidates for
State and municipal Offices. Inasmuch as
time was precious, they concluded that the
indorsing plan was the better of the two,
and the list OF candidates was produced.
Only two were known TO be IN favor of
equal rights by the convention as body,
but candidates Tor every Office in the gift
of the people were Endorsed upon the
recommendation of some member of the
league. The ladies made speeches on be-
half of their respective candidates, and the
hearty support of all present was promised
those who expressed themselves in favor of
allowing the fair sex TO vote. Politics,
they said, cut no figure whatever with the
Equal Rights League. They insisted upon
exercising their rights as citizens, and
those of the male sex seeking Office who
Endorsed their ideas and assisted them in
their plans would be given the benefit of
whatever votes they might WELD an in
hueUce over. This sentiment met with the
unanimous approval of the delegates.
This important task disposed of the la
dies proceeded to discuss the the attitude
OF the press of the city. All its varied
phases were reviewed, and apparently sew
eral OF the delegates labered under the
impression that the cause Of woman suf-
fTage had not been treated with sufficient
dignity and Importance. They objected to
breezy comment on the meetings, and
after a lengthy discussion decided to ap-
point an official reporter, whose duty it
would be TO note the proceedings of each
meeting In shorthand and transcribe such
matter for publication as the league might
deem proper. By this plan the friendly
controversies" ard heated debates could
be described as they really were," and
not pictured as a regulation row. The off,
Ciai reporter was then chosen from among
the ladies present and the final work of the
convention was deferred until next week.
The election will be almost over when the
leagne assemblies, but the Equal Rights
and NOn-Parisan convention will continue
its work until the first of the new year if
necessary.
