GIRLS OF TO-DAY.
Girls OF to-day give ear,
Never since time began.
Has come TO ;he race OF man
year. a day. an hour.
So full Of promise and power
As the time that now IL here
Never In all the lands
Was there a power so great
To move the wheels of state,
To lift up body and mind.
To waken the deaf and blind.
As the power that is IN your hands.
Here az the gates OF gold
You stand In the pride OF youth.
Strong In courage and truth
Stirred by a force kept back
Through centuries long and black
Armed with power threefold
Maid and mother and wife
See your own work is done:
Be worthy noble son.
Help men In the upward way.
Truly a girl to-day
Is the strongest power in life

Ears Beat Eyes.

Most people would no doubt be in
clined to fancy that the eye was the
gateway of quite the most delicate of
oil our senses. But this is not SO.
The sense of hearing has been proved
to be far the most delicate of all the
senses. And the sense of touch ap-
pears to be perhaps the keenest of all.
The tests are very simple.
For testing sight disc half black,
half white is revolved quickly before
the eyes. When it reaches o speed of
twenty-four revolutions second the
colors cease to appear distinctly any
longer to the eye, and the result is
gray. For sound, revolving toothed
wheel makes q series of clicks, and
these to the average man appear to be
distinct sounds up to sixty a second.
Alter that they cannot be distinguished
apart. The sense Of touch is tried by
rapid blows of q tiny electric hammer
on the skin. Up to 1000 a second
these blows have been felt separate
and distinct.
