Mary Was n MineraIogist.

A teacher in one of the local schools was
instructing a class of small children in min.
eralogy the other day, endeavoring to make
clear to their young minds what a mineral

in her clear voice: "a mineral is an NOR

And your mothers and fathers have told

The new woman has scored the vic
tory of her eventful life in Newark, n. j.
A judge of that advanced town has de-
cided that wives belonging to clubs have
a legal right to latchkey and to return
home at any Of the small hours that
best suit them, and that husbands who
oppose this right as an exclusive one of
their own are liable to arrest and fine.
This disposes of the whole veXed ques-
ton. The latchkey unlocks the last
fetter binding downtrodden woman to
tyrannical conventions.

show some very excellent reason why
an exception should be made in her
case. IL a school-leacher-or, for that
