Than stand upon Parnassus with scroll OF

And invest my tongue with oloquenco TO thrill

Tho wealth OF golden harvests that IN barns
and stacks Is stored,
And the fruiiage Of the orchard, brown Octo-

ia sing tho fall OF twilight as the sun sinks In

The hour when tired mothers lull their sleepy
babes To rest;
The bliss Of fond young lovers under evening
skies IN June.
And tho sweet and foolish nothings said beneath
the yellow moon
The joys OF careless childhood and the pains

The histories ana mysteries that nll lifo's

Tho days all glad with sunshine and the hours
OF doubt and gloom
Through which VIC all must journey from the
cradle 10 the tomb
Let others sing OF chivary and deeds Of days

OF battles grand by sea aud land, OF knights
and warriors bold;
The lowly rhymes OF present times are doaror

And hold these songs are sweeter for their
simpler melody. =

one reason so many city women of
fashion have bad eyes and must dcforrl
themselves with eyeglasses-so says an
oculist.
Mrs. GEORGE w. CADLE, the wife of
the novelist, Is one of the most beauti-
full women seen In literary circles.
She has forget-me-not blue eyes, an
oval face, perfectly regular features
and n complexion like n white rose leaf
all this though her hair is white and
her Oldest daughter just married.

Dr. JouN WooD, Archaeological and
student of art, says the modern wom-
ans figure differs decidedly from tho
typical woman OF Greek art and not al
together for the worse. She, the mod
ern Caucasian woman, has more taper
ing limbs, that is, smaller wrists and
ankles, and, strange to say, deeper,
finer chest. In carriage, too, the mod
ern ideal Is for more erect position
and a ilatter back.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The Question Raising Considerable
Agitation in the Utah Convention.
SALT LAKE, April 2.-The excitement
over the woman suffrage question has
been steadily on the increase for a week.
An hour before the time of calling the
Constitutional Convention to order this
morning the spacious corridors around
the hall were filled with a surging mass
OF humanity. Tardy delegates found the
entrances 10 the hall so blocked as to
make entrance impossible. When the
doors were opened the ladies forced their
way ia, and IN their enthusiasm took
possession OF the delegates seats. Police
officers had 10 be called IN TO take charge
OF the excited crowd. At the time tor
calling the convention to order quorum
OF members had not gained admission,
and President Smith had 10 request the
ladies to vacate until delegates were
seated.
Bishop Whitney made short speech
in explanation OF his remarks last week,
and then Roberts, who was to make the
closing speech, was recognized and made
masterly speech against the pending
measure. u Z was particularly sarcastic

At the c.ose OF his speech he was The re-

The first vote was on the substitute
