What is considered the fandsomest and
toppest looking team in this city is made
up Of a pair of bay geldings recently pur-
chased by Mr.. Marion 3. Langhorne of
Samuel B. Nelson of the American Horse
Exchange, New York. They are both
trotting bred and one of them has shown
trials better than 2:20. Mr.. Langhorne
has large interests in San Francisco,
California, but spends most OF his time
here, and purchased these horses for his
personal use at cost of 81, $50.

as to prophesy its ultimate universal
adoption, it may be interesting 10 compare

suage was the first to become sufficiently
pre-eminent amongst its contemporaries to
justify the ambition Of a still more slo-
rious extension. But the tickle smile of
fortune changed, and the Greek language
IS now dead.
Upon whatever country or State the Ro-
man yoke was imposed. there followed
the c1ws, the customs, and the language
OF the Romans. Thus, practically, the
whole of the then known world fell under
the influence Of Latin.
After the fall of the empire Latin sur
yived, and a knowledge of it was neces-
sary for the intelligent reading of the
Scriptures and all scientific books If
such a condition had continued to exist up
TO the present day its use would have be-
come very widespread indeed
During a great part of the middle ages
French was very widely spoken through
out the whole of Europe, especially in the
courts and among the nobility and the
higher classes. But the fashion died out
and with it the cosmopolitan character Of
French died also.

we have, by the improved methods 10
which I have alluded, by a much greater

HIGHER EDUCATION A TAX ON
WOMAN'S VITALITY AND NATURE
Woman May Argue Herself Hoarse, Says Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, But She Can Not Explain the
Brains Difference in the Sexes.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
Hhe well-known writer on women's topics.

Though woman may argue herself
hoarse and her hearers deaf on the sub
ject OF her mental equality, it seems
she cannot explain or do away with the
peculiar difference which exists in the
brain of the two sexes, particularly to be
observed in the relative effect of higher
education
Man goes through years OF profound
study, and becomes a walking encyciope-
dia of knowledge. Yet he, as a rule, re-
tains his emotions, his synDathics and
his passions.
Men very wise in learning have often
proved themselves to be the reriest fools

celled i'll the sciences and conVersed in
numerous tongues. but we would all crane
our necks to look second time at the
man who had become known willing
victim of some woman's charms.
The staid and renowned professor or the
famed inventor is never so interesting as
when revealed to us as the lover, the hus-
band. or the father.
Once in u generation we hear of 4 great

serve TO accent the rule.
On the other hand, little observation
Will prove the fact that years Of continue
