This world is Il good one, this world is

There's cheer in each moment, each
hour has its cheer:
Then seek it and hold it, and Danish all

AS moaning and grooming all add to the

So sunshine and gladneSs will bleach
out the stain.
The wrong that is ruling will turn to
the right.
If only we melt all its darkness In light.
When efforts miscarry and fortune be.

Sit not in the gloom and the chill of the
days.
Dream not in the vapors, nor dwell in
the damp,
But light up again your newly filled
lamp.
And out into action and creative force,
on II carry true purpose and win it.,
For gladncss and goodness and unceas-
ing cheer
Dissolve all disasters that ever appear.
And the evil as evil will cease to be
known,
And good will prevail as ruler alone.
The days Will be sunny, the years will

And life will be lived on it's uppermOst

The sunshine of spirit, the sunshine of

The suffice, or burning of widows
on the funeral pyres Of their hus-
bands, was inCulcated in India as a
religious duty.
Many women have eXcelled as en-
ecutants In music; no woman has
ever been great or even mediocre
composer.
1t is singular fact that of the
queens who reigncd as sovereigns,
every one who reached middle life
became quite fleshy.
An authority on microscopy states
that the hair of Il woman can be dis
tinguished, by its constitution, from
that Of man.
There is said to be over "A thousand
women in New York, who, in one
way or another, make their living
by their pens.
1t is stated by church authority
that there are now over 300 Ameri-
can women living in foreign coun-
tries as missionaries.
John Hunter, the famous anato-
mist, once said that the feminine
love of conversation was a cOnse-
quence of popularity in brain It's
sue.
AS artists, women have shown
more taste than originality. They
paint landscapes and portraits beau
TRULY, but rarely achieve great pic
lures.
The brain Of a woman is absolutely
smaller than that of man, but it is
stated to be somewhat larger in pro-
portion to the weight of the body.
A woman with military nose
and prominent chin is certain to
make her mark. All female society
leaders have had such facial peculi-
arities.
A statistical authority says that a
woman's chance of being married is
best between 20 and %. After 80,
her chance is one in 10000.
Only Chinese women of high rank
have their feet bandaged. To have
small and deformed feet is an undis-
putable evidence of wealth and sta
ton.
When the sewing machine was in
vented the prediction was made that
1t would Tighten the labor of women :
as fact, it increased the number of
frills.
In Albania the men wear petit.
coats and the women wear trousers
The women do all the work and
their husbands attend to the heavy
standing around.

Uncle Dick Oglesby.
TWO CHARACTERISTIC STORIES OF
THE GENIAL EX-GOVERNOR
OF ILLINOIS.

/ think it was during the Cleve-
land Blaine campaign that ex-gov-
ernor Oglesby of Illinois, "Uncle
Dick" as he is familiarly known,
first made stay of any length in
New York.
he and companion had sump-
tuous luncheon, ordered Of course
by the intrOducer, who wound up
by inviting the governor to smoke.
The clerk at the cigar counter handed
out some fine Havana cigars. I'm.
Gle Dick was about tn take one, when
some thought arrested his hand, and
he asked:
What's the price Of these?n
Twenty-Five cents" was the re-
ply.
Holy smoke!" calculated the
governor. "Put 'em back! Put
'em back, quick ~
But, governor, this is my treat :"
said his friend.
Daren't do it! Daren't do it !
Put 'em back -
Yes, but governor"
81 tell you ! daren't do it. Why,
man, il they should ever find out in
Illinois that / smoked % cent cigar
In New York, they'd turn me out
of the church, and it wonld ruin me
politically forever. Dare'nt do il
Ten cent cigars are good enough for
me in New York, and centers at
home"
Uncle Dick always prided himself
on his success in campaigning when
called upon to reach a mans vote
through his family pride.
On one of his tours he passed
through a country town in Illinois,
when he came suddenly upon a
charming group-a cOmely woman
with bevy of little ones about her
in IA garden with a high picket
fence in front of it. He stopped
short, then advanced and leaned
over the front gate.
Madam" said he in his most
ingratiating way, "may kiss these
beautiful children ?"
Certainly, SIR" the lady an
swered demurely, "there is no pos
sible objection"
"They are lovely darlings," said
Uncle Dick, after he had finished
the eleventh. have seldom seen
more beautiful babies. Are they all
yours, marm?"
The lady blushed deeply.
"Of course they are-the sweet
little treasures. From whom else,
marin, could they have inherited
these limpid eyes, these rosy cheeks,
these prOfuse curls, these comely
figures and these musical voices ?"
The lady continued blushing.
By the way, marm," said Uncle
Dick, "may / bother you to tell
your estimable husband that Rich

date for governor, called upon him
this EVENING""
Alas, SIR" quoth the lady, ~

But these children, madam

when you first came up. These are
not my children. This is an orhpan

Ono day in the year 1S30 a fragment of a largo bone liko a marrow bone in ap pCaranrc' was brought to Owen by n sea faring man, who had obtained it from n native of Now Zcnllnd. It had been de- scribed by tho native As tho bone of a great eagle, but Owon assured the owner that it could not havo belonged to any bird of flight and rather rosembled tho fcmur of an OK.
