- Washington people are wondering
why Mrs. Cleveland refused to receive
the members Of the Woman's Suffrage
Convention. She gave no reason and
did not even answer the note which Miss
Anthony sent her asking her when it
would be convenient for the suffragists
to call. Nor did Mr.. Thurber even no.
tice it, but the reply was written by the
Presidents stenographer, and 1t was
short and not very sweet. It read as
follows: "Mrs Cleveland has handed me
your note of this date and asks me to ex-
press her regrets that it will be impossible
for her to appoint a. time when she
could see the company in whose behalf
you write."
-. To convince householders that the
small flies on their window panes never
grow to he larger ones-in fact; never
grow at all-is task of no little difficult
ty sometimes. The difference in size OF
flies is always the distinction of sex or
species but never of age. With the ex-
.ception of the gradual unfolding of its
crumpled wings. no change comes over
tia aspect of fly from the moment OF
its birth from the chrysalis to that of its
death. a big fly is no more little ny
grown up than horse is an old pony, or
a goose fully developed duck. All the
growth of fly is accomplished IN the
maggot state; then short period of SOM
nolence as smooth brown chrysalis in
tervenes, from which finally the young
fly springs, like Minerva from the
head Of Joye, full-sized es well as fully
armed.
That unpleasant sensation known
as singing in the ear generally results
from the hardening of the wax. 1t
may frequently be removed at once by
Swinging the ear with little warm
soap and water or by dropping little
glycerine oil into the ear at bedtime.
If these remedies do not answer, a
mustard poultice applied just behind
the ear at bedtime, and repeated, if
necessary, two or three nights, is an
almost certain cure.
