What a Man Said.

We overheard man talking last week and this is what he said: "Talking about bicycles for enjoyable and also fast road riding I believe the Columbias are the best. They are ridden by the best riders in town, Stevens, Beckley and Rodemeyer; by the best riders in Ct Harrington, Endres, Brainard, Eas- land and Fitzgerald; by the fastest man in Sheffield, Goodsell; and by the ma jority of the best riders through Berk- shire County and also through this sec- tion. These fellows know what a good bicycle is and they buy Columbias and they are not paid for riding them either. There are other good bicycles but tue Columbia is, in my estimation the best of the high grade machines. I ride one. I am not fast man on the road but my machine is very easy running and fiud the most enjoyment on my Columbia; and I have ridden othe, makes of wheels"
 When you think of buying, rememb be, what that man said and go and see the Columbi agent.

Mother-I wonder if Mr.. Hartley
has matrimonial intentions. He's
been coming to see you two years
now.
Daughter hope not; because if it
takes man two years to make up
his mind to propose I'm sure do not
want him.
II II you are suspicious of yeur drain
pipe, drop a lump Of copperas in it
and let it melt away. 1t will disen-
feet it thoroughly.
At dinner party the host should
lead the way to the dining room with
the most important lady on his arm,
and seat her at his right haud. He
should then remain standing until
the guests have all taken their places.
A good cook says that the secret of
all cookery, except in roasting and
broiling, is judicious use of flour,
butter, herbs and the seasoning with
salt and pepper, and application of a
very slow fire-for good cooking re-
quires only gentle simmering heat, but
no boiling up, which only renders the
meat hard.
A good way to insure bad bread is
to buy poor and cheap flour, use sour
yeast, mix the dough too thin, set it
where it will be too cold, let it half
raise, bake in slow oven where it
will run over before it begins to cook,
and then rush the fire at the end so as
to burn the mass. There you have a
recipe that will insure a disi upted
household in less than six months if
you only follow directions implicitly.
Bad bread will make criminal
as surely as bad whisky, though it
may take longer.

: just What the soutb Needs

What the South needs most is great
railroads, monopolies if you will. 1t
needs to run trains through under one
management from Florida to Montl cal,
SO that the early produce of the South
may be put into he Northern market
at such price as it will pay the North
ern man to consume it, the Southern
man to produce it, and the railroad to
carry it. Then towns and villages
such as are common in the North will
grow up, fields will produce to their
utmost limit, schools, academies, and
every comfort of civ.liza ion will
abound.
There will be no negro question, for
the South will find employment for
evtry hand, no ma ter what its color.
Wealth, now so scarce, will flow in.
Past differences will be forgotten. The
producer Of the South will become, ly
commerce, the brother of the consumer
Of the North; and, with better know
ledge of each other, with In ,reasing
travel, there will be welcome in
Georgia for the son of New England,
and in New York for the planter of the
Carolinas.-Rev. T. A. Hendricks, in
June Donahoe's.

THE Constitutional Convention of
New York State, now in session at Al
bany, is having some very interesting
dicussion on the woman suffragelQue
tion. Many bright and brainy women
are making an appeal to this body to
grant them equal political rights and
privileges with men, while others
equally bright and trainy are pleading
for the opposite side, believing the evils
that will follow woman suffrage will
overbalance the blessings. The Solons
are giving very respectful attention to
both parties, and it is hard to tell
which side has the better argument.
This Convention will settle the ques-
tion for New York women for the next
20 years, hence the zeal of the suffrag-
lists. DIR. Mary Jacobi's address last
week was one of the strongest in favor
Of equal suffrage, though possibly some
of her remarks we're more wise than
womanly. Whether New York gives
the ballot to women or not, the move
ment In that State has popularized the
question, as is shown in its general dis
cussion in the pulpit, by the press and
in the drawing room. A restricted
suffrage that only gives the ballot to
voters who can read the Constitution
In their mother tongue. and that is not
granted to foreigners who have only
been in this country few months, is a
a more imperative reform, that might
we'll be allied to the woman suffrage
movement.
