l.. j. Heck one of the graduates at
the Agricultural College said among
other things in his Grafton on the
education of women: LET women study
the perfect character, that she may be
mudium through which truth may be
diffused throughout the family-the
unit on which all civilization rests; that
the presence of her personality may aid
in building character-which is the
ultimate end of human existence. Let
her cultivate those instincts which un-
swervingly lead to right and truth.
Let her cultivate the love of the good
and the beautiful; let her WELD the
wand of love at home. TO make home
attractive is the highest triumph of
women. Here is the true sphere of her
influence; not in legislative halls, not
in the costume of an actress, but at
home, the guardian of infancy, the
companion of youth, the partner Of
manhood, the comforter of old age"

en- OF as long winded joke; also the
changes which are coming over the
erstwhile champions of 40 to /" as
panacea for all our ills. The Grand
Rapids Herald; until within very
few days one of the loudest free silver
champs, is now content to leave the
question with the future. The fact of
the matter is, free silver, as advocated
by many, means simply dishonesty.
We trust that our government will use
every means to utilize the white metal
so far as possible, but to place our
on basis of 80 cents worth of
silver to constitute dollar, would
bring about the greatest panic this
country ever saw or ever dreamed of.

An exchange tells good story of
father and mother who were trying to
find names for their twin babies, who
by the way were girls. 1t was decided
that the father must name them. After
casting about and finding no names
that exactly suited him, he determined
to end the strain on his mind and call
ed them Kate" and duplicate. In
the course of time another pair of twins
came, and they we're boys. This was
the husbands opportunity to get even,
and he wanted his good wife TO christen
the boys. Imagine his feelings when
the mother one day told him she had
named the boys "Pete" and Repeat"
