Daughters of the Gods.

If girls go on increasing the average stature of women, as they have done for the last decade, where will they stop? is another question often asked of late at the various classes where a number of young girls are gathered together by their little mammas, who look strangely dWarfed and shrunken by the side of their tall young daughters. A question asked half proudly and half anxioNsly, for, although it gratihes their maternal pride that their girls should be like the daughters of the gods, "divinely tall," they have no wish to see them pass those celestial limits, as they are doing, and become Brobding- naggian damsels, who bid fair to frighten away all their partners
 
 For 1t is an incontrovertible fact that the boys are not developing in ratio with the girls; their average height has in nowise increased of late years, while it is really start ling to see how that of their sisters and their friends is assuming really Amazonian proportions
 "A few years ago." said a society woman recently, ''my daughter was invited to join a dancing class of girls who were not yet out. At home we thought her quite tall, as she was an inch taller than I, and l had always considered myself over the average. So 1 was consi- derably astonlShed to find that she looked decidedly undersized in com parison with the reFt of the girls, " lIt COWCIGu dUONG AGI. LNGH GIlCU I wondered at the increased height of the coming woman, but what was my amazement and almost con- sternation this year when I saw my second daughter with a younger set, who have taken the places of their elder sisters, and find that my tallest girl is a mere pygmy among the others, and that the second crop of girls will be much taller even than the first. Many of them mea- -are six feet, and even more! I should say that this remarkab increase in the average height of women is really phenomenal and that scientists should give it their attention. ."-N Y. Tribune.

What Women Say.

In answer to the question, "Do
 the earnest, high minded women oi Colorado vote?" Mrs. sarah s
 Platt, president of the Denver Wo- mans Club, says:
 "Yes, emphatical!y. I do nos hesitate to say that the best women of Colorado have far more conscience in exercising their responsibilities as voters than the men of the same class. Standing in line at polls, have often hoard the husband ex- press impatienee and a willingness to waive his privilege rather than await his turn, but the wife invari- ably remains, and generally ir- fuences her impatient partner to do so.
 Does not the vote of the dis reputa le low class of women over balance the better clements? No, because the women of the half world do not vote. There are many reasons why this is so. They are constantly changing their residences and their names. They do not wish to give any data concerning them selves, their age, name, or number and street; they prefer generally to remain unidentified. Occasionally, some disrepntable master compels these slaves to vote for his own purposes, but that is very rare oc- currence."

The Passing Show.

It takes an aero. at to make both ends meet in Iife's circle.
 All babies look alike to me-" is a song easily learned by any bachelor. Matrimony requires Q capital stock of much love and plenty of cash.
 The life of lover has about as much satisfaction in it as an angels in hell.
 Girls, as part of humanity. gen. eraIly discard the true and embrace the false
 No girl ever advanced in woman hood from lessons learned in the dance hall.
 When girls allow insincere men to waste their time, sensible men pass on, and they seldom return. Every bachelor thinks If had wife," them falls to musing, and ends by congratulating himself.
 The way to catch some men is to lariet them, and that lariet must be tact; and the thrower a fair woman.
 4 girl not neat with herself in public will make some msp asham- ed of himself sometime, if he allows her half a chance.
 Don't it make you feel peculiar to meet a young lady down town and after the exchange of the usual day greetings, have her commence to apologize for her untldy appear ance? Common civility makes you accept her apology, but you don't mean it. It's bad mistake for any girl to make. It only takes a few minutes longer to put the appear ance above and beyond apology, and the extra reward is simply without limit. Experienced men know that one f;ilIng in a girl is indicative of so much else, should life present certain conditions. It opens the way to series cf dangers that no oinexperienced girlcan realize.
 These facts are equally applicable to boy or young man. Merchants don't hire clerks from the class that go "slouchy." No business men look for helpers from the class of young men who go without regard to thelr personal appearance. No matter how poor or how common the clothing. it is every young man $ privilege to be neat; it always pays - iH5Un1s NerS.-

THE expert telegrapher is said te be doomed. A printing telegraph machine has been invented that will do the work of six operators, and can be run by a boy or girl. The machine can be manufactured for $10. It Is said the Western Union Company will take the ma chimes as fast as they can be turned out, and will save Q million dollars month when all it's offices are equipped with them. And what is to become of the people thrown out of employment by such inventions?

A substitute for tobacco has bee

A substitute for tobacco has been discovered by an eastern chemist :. The appearance, edor, taste and effect on the system are all repro duced, 1t is claimed, and the sham can only be told by 8 microscopical examination. The one essential difference between the leaf tobacco and the substitute is the absence of nicotine in the latter. The cost of producing the substitute is said to be small, and a promise of the best pertectos of to-day at a price within the reach of all.

HARD tack is no longer the ex- elusive reliance of the army. Sev- eral divisions have been supplied with field ovens of galvanized iron, which turn out 200 loaves at a bak- ing. Each soldier is untitled to IS ounces of four as part of his daily ration, and economic baking repre- sents an important item.

IN number of ways ths Chinese differ totally in custom from Eu- ropeans and Americans.

a0ooedlAg 20 conservative ostimASes, peE.
haps 90 per cent Of personally wealth.
They are owned BY the wealthy. a. .
rule, they escape taxation, not because
they are the property OF the rich, but b.
cause the Assessor cannot get his eyes on
them. The producer, opfthe other hand,
cannot conceal his stock, or the imple-
ments Of his trade. and they are taxed.
The patriotic desire to volunteer tribute
to the state is probably no greater In tho
one than in the other. To illustrate, Lot
ne cite you to the last published report
Of our state auditor. The loans and
credits Of the private banks, brokers, and
stock jobbers In the state were returned
and assessed at essS, 696, while the sewing
machines were valued at nearly twice
that sum All the bonds and stookA
other than bank stocks, were returned
and valued at less than the yeaEling
calves, and less than double the valuation
of the dogs over six months old Judging
by comparison and by data from other
states, it 10 safe to assume that tbs value
OF the personal property In this state is
nearly as great a. the realty. Asreturned
for taxation, tho figures, arc in round
numbers: Real property, >500, 000,00O

naming personal property, or to substi-
tuts some other method Of obtaining rev.
enue more just and efficient than tho
present antiquated systeR Of taxing per
sonalty, is the problem. TO solve this, I
believe with my predecessor that COM
mission should be appointed. If action
were taken by you in that behalf at once,
. report might be obtained in time for
consideration at this session.

Another subject that will prominently
be called to your attention by the able re-
port of our state auditor, Ia tho manage.
ment of our state institutions. 1t pre-.
sents the question whether we shall con-
tinue the present plan of a separate board
for each institution, with q board of cor
sections and charities to supervis" and
moderate their actions or whether VIZ
shall adopt the plan of one central board
of control for the management OF all the

In our sister states. Each has its peculiar
advantages. Us wsll as its disadvantages.
