allowing women to enter the University of

average woman weighs less by three and one
half ounces than that of the average man.
She could not possibly stand on the same
mental plane with man. Nature herself had
cunningly planned that women should BIO the
the lesser intellectually, and it was easily
proven fact in physiology. There was no sense
in her competing with heavy-brained man.
So, poor man, he died not long ago and they
weighed his brain only to find that it weighed
trife less than the average woman's! so
there was something the matter either with
his logic or with his brain, and, no matter
how you look at 1t, the argument turns and
bites the estimsble gentleman.

All Of the reports seem to agree that Queen
Victoria Is a very sick woman. She has had
chronic rheumatism for long time, and has
been lame in consequence, but now the disease
seems to have enfeebled her whole body. She
is about rs years old, and it can hardly be ex.

prise one to hear at any time of her death.
But such news will be q great shock to the
world. Her reign has been long-57 years
and successful, and wecannot imagine anyone
but Victoria on the English throne in our
times. Another name will sound odd In our
ears. o.

caulifower, water crosses and tomatoes are all
excellent vegetables for Salads and with light

The best way to remove tea stains from linen
is by patient application of boiling water. Tea
stains, like fruit stains, must be attended to
imme lately. before the cloth goes to the laun-
dry. The water must BIO poured through con-

added to the boiling water hastens the cleans |

Chauncey Depew Gays that women are very
poor after.dinner speakers, and only once in
his life has he heard one charm and interest
