Women, generally, are fourishing at
least they have stopped spelling the name
/ with capital W; she is rising or has
risen from the subject class to self
poised position; she sees her mental,
moral and spiritual emancipation in the
near future; she comes pretty near doing
what she is minded to do; hence it were
we'll to give US political freedom only
with an educational qualification. Don't
fear we will fail to learn to read and write
between elections. To those who groan
under the idea of its injustice let me tell
them story, "a true story" as the child.
rem say:
A Judge tried two criminals the same
day for different offenses. One was an
educated criminal, the other illiterate-he
sentenced them to be locked up together
in the same cell till the educated one
taught the other to read and write. To
the surprise of the court, under the spur
of liberty in view, they came out in three
weeks both better men.

Ringing Noises
In the ear, sometimes roaring, buzzing
sound, are caused by catarrh, that ex-
ceedingly disagreeable and very common
disease. Loss of smell or hearing also
result from oatarrh. Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the great blood purifier, is a peculiarly
successful remedy for that disease, which
it cures by purifying the blood.
