Woman Suffrage In London.

A Brooklyn woman writes as follows
of meeting in London:
81 went to drawing room meeting
last week that was very interesting on
the question, 8 Is there any justifiable
reason why women should not have this
parliamentary franchise?'' Half dozen
women spoke, all without papers, the
main speaker giving some historical
points-one, that women voted in Eliza
beth's time for some of the burgesses.
and that in 1866 about 1000 voted in
one place on the strength of law pass
ed through Lord Brougham's efforts
which declared that man must be I'M
derstood to mean mankind. The ques-
ton of this vote was brought before a
court of judges, and the votes were
thrown out, after which the word male
was inserted tina. there might be no fur
ther confusion.
"a lady from New Zealand gave an
interesting account of the way in which
they obtained the suffrage, how many
times it was defeated in committee or
upper house after three readings in the
lower, and at last was attained by q
majority of one, two in favor being i'll,
but the results had been entirely salts
factory. It was interesting, too, to see
that those women who seemed largely
to represent wealth and rank took the
same ground that women at home do
that the industrial woman needs the
ballot and ought to have it. I shall

% hearing, but it will be bad time,

Mankind is more influenced by the bright

cast of countenance will not make a woman
attractive and captivating, if she is pale,

These complaints are due to imperfect
nutrition. The digestive and blood making

Ancient and Modern Greeks.


The typical ancient Greek. the Greek de-
picted in sculpture and described in poe
try. was tall and powerful. SO peculiar to
his race was his nose that the occasional
occurrence OF the same kind OF nose
among modern nations Is called Grecian.
No other nation, ancient or modern, shows
this nose, except in rare and sporadic In
stances. From the Greek sculptures we
are led TO believe thar practically all
ancient Greeks had this nose. The ancient
Greek was blonde. His hair was OF tight
ly cinging reddish curls. His eyes were
blue. The modern Greek possesses none
OF the foregoing physical characteristics,
save the curly hair. which is dark In
deed, no o-European nation is a more
complete contrast to the general concep-
ton Of the ancient Greek type. Observing
these things, IL Is not strange that a
number OF German scholars declared thar
the modern Greek is not a Greek, and
that the ancient Greek has passed from
the earth. well-nigh as extinct as the
dodo. At first thought. the evidence would
seem TO prove this theory conclusively
Not only does the modern Greek differ In
physical characteristics from the type OF
ancient Greek. as generally accepted, but
there are historical grounds for believing
there Is no kinship between the two. In
the eighth century a plague devastated

grated TO fill the depopuiated regions

Preparing for the Reunion.
ATLANTA Constitution.)


In answer to the call Of General c. A.
Evans, a large number of citizens met
yesterday and resolved upon means TO
make the ninth annual reunion Of the
Confederate Survivors Association the
grandest which has ever Seen held.
The spirit which animated those who
attended the meeting, many of them men
who bore scars in that great conflict,
was one which proved that their hearts
were in the work, and that they intend
ed making the coming reunion one which
should be epochal in its character, and
one which should fittingly commemorate
the great cause for which these men
fought and the valor of those who wore
the gray.
In the reunions which have previously
been held, there was not that large
attendance which was desirable, owing
to the fact that the points selected were
remote from great centres which could
command a general attendance. But
notwithstanding these disadvantages,
enough was developed to show that the
spirit which animated these men as they
marched under Lee has not lost its fire
as life began to slip away, but that the
griZzled and crippled and manned and
gallant veterans bore down in their
hearts the age OF cnlValry WHICH mdue
their youth a dream of daring. Now,
that Atlanta has been pitched upon as
the site for the ninth annual reunion,
where Virginia may meet Texas, where
Arkansas may clasp hands with South
Carolinians. where Tennessee and Ken
lucky may meet Florida and Alabama,
we have every reason to look for such
an outpouring OF people and for such a
reunion OF sentiment as was never be-
fore seen in the worlds history. Atlanta.
the great centre of sthe Confederacy,
which was regarded by all armies alike
as the military key to the situation, still
holds that same place. and is proud OF
the fact that she will live as long as the
annals of Confederate valor are cherished
by the human mind.
At the preliminary meeting just held,
those who were present speaking for the
city of Atlanta. grasped the Importance
OF the situation, and there will be no
doubt about the part the city VIII take in
receiving and honoring the men who
fought for the Lost Cause and in making
them feel that. after all. they have not
lost so much, since they have retained
the love of their fellows and the adj
miration Of those who succeeded them.
and the highest eulogium which history
can place upon their deeds.
