The Ascent of Woman.

Prof. Drummond. whose Ascent Of
Man" has been attracting so much at
tenticn, is also believer in the ascent
Of woman. In speech at Haddo
house, Lord Aberdcen's place, the other
day, he remarked that woman had
been put through marvellous discip
line during the long night Of history
to teach her the virtues of unselfishness,
tenderness. patience, compassion and
love, SO that she might become the
teacher Of the world; and it was quite
certain, by all the laws of science and
all the traditions of the worlds past,
that the great factor in the future evo-
luton Of society must be the ascent
of wCman." -Westmillster Budget.

Some Occur Though the Chances
Against Them Are Millions to
One.
That astonishing condolences do oc-
cur-events against which tho chances
are thousands or millions to one, is a
matter, we may all say, of everyday
experience. Here, for example, is one
which happened to myself week or
two ago. was introduced to a gentle
man named Hackstoul-I must apollo
gize for using real names, but the point
of the anccdotc lies in them-and, learn
ing that he came from Fifeshire,
asked him whether he was descended
from Hackstoln of Rathillet, who was
Il prime mover in the murder of Arch
bishop Sharp, on Magus Moor. Yes,
he was linc:llly descended from that
worthy; and was interested to find
that he espoused his ancestors cause,
and even hesitated to describe the lit
tie occurrence as Il murder
Only q few days afterwards 1 hap
pened to meet friend in railway car
riage in company with gentleman
whom l had never seen before, and
whose name was unknown to me.
Something occurred to remind me of
Mr.. Hackstoun, and mentioned having
met him and spoke of the delicacy
with which his ancestor had held back
from the actual slaughter because he
bore a personal grudge against the
archbishop. He looked on" I said.
while Balfour of Burley did the job"
My friend turned to the other gentle
man and asked: care you any rela-
ton of his, Mr.. Balfour?' YES" was
the reply, II am Ineally descended
from him. Will any mathematician
calculate for me the chances that, not
in Fifeshire. not even in Scotland, but
in London. shou d meet within few
days two direct descendants of the two
ringleadersc in this "old, unhappy. far
off thing" this murder which occurred

rANGsoF THE RATHER.

what AN AnatOmist Found In
Carefully Elssectcil Specimen.
The reptile was nearly four feet long
had thirteen rattles and when opened
was found to have dined not long be-
fore on three young rabbits, which
were lying snugly in Its very long stom-
ach, lcngthwise, one after the other,
as they were swallowed. The tail at
the junction Of the rattles is formed
Of bundle Of f:bers much like those OF
a tarred rope, one-third Of an inch IN
diameter, twisted in the same manner
and crossed, so us to give great force
to the end of the tail, on which tho
loose rattles are arranged.
But the other end Of the reptile Is
Of the most interest, because the en-
animation completely upscts all the
popular notions so far held about the
fangs. There were four, of these OH
each jaw. One was over half an inch
in length. This is the needle. but not
the conveyor Of the poison. This is a

muscles, so that they are very easily
drawn out, and they are almost invtsi-
BILE on account of their clear. rransluc-
ent color, so that they might easily es-
cape notice in a wound made by the
real fang. These poison fangs are hol-
low and are directly attached to the
sac in which the poison is contained.
The tongue is a thin, slender fiber
attached by slender muscles-not fork
cd, as popularity supposed, hut appear
ing to be so by its rapid vibration when
the reptile is disturbed and shows its
hostility to the intruder by giving some
of its very sharp tongue. 1t is very
clear under these circumstances that
the most apparent fang is the punctur-
ing instrument, and when it has done
it's work. the deadly true fangs, which
are tubular. enter the wound and dis
charge their loads Of poison. These
are plainly seen to he tubes, and are
made exactly like the horns of cow.
Under the microscope the substance of
them looks like pearl, and has a deli
cate polish and finish. No surgical in

The contest which thus ends in the
nomination of Oates has been one of
the hottest in the political history of

W. c. Owens, candidate for congress
against Hon. W. c. P. Breckinridge,
spoke here today to an immense crowd.
Three hundred women we're present

The following are extracts from his
speech, which was received with rous-
ing cheers:
That1 may be elected, It's unneces-
sary that you destroy the respect the
people of the country have in com
mon with those Of the Ashland district,
for the courts Of the justice of this land.
1t is not necessary for you to believe,
in order to elect me, that these courts
have been converted into instruments
of rinjustice, nor do I want you to
believe that every newspaper man in
the country is base liar. To elect me
it is not necessary to charge that more
than one-half of your Democratic
friends and the good women OF our dis
trict have become slanderers: to elect
me, it is not necessary to tear the vest
ments from the sacred alter sand pro-
claim that the ministers OF the holy re-
ligion have abandoned their high call
ing and entered into league with
the devil to destroy the Lord s annoitcd.
Tremendous applause and uproar.)
In closing his address, Mr.. Owens
said never in the history of the world

as the present incumbent finds himself

OF honor. The eyes of 100000 people
are upon you, and your verdict will be

When Bourke Cochran, Dave Hill

that the Democratic party is opposed
to tariff reform, they speak against the
written record Of the party platform
and against the declaration of its great

Democrats talk that way, they are in
