The RrnIns of Women.

From scientific observations made
all overthe world it appears that wom-
ems brains are invariably of less di-
mensions than those of men. Height
and weight sppear in nowlse to affect
this result. Men of less stature, men
of equal weight with women, still own
heavier and larger brains. The result
is uniform in all countries, and with
all races. Whenever and wherever
measurements of brain have been at
tempted the same thing is seen. Men
have always nearly ten per cent. more
brains than women.-London Graphic.

are wisely disregarding the course Of
chalk marks. They are allowing the spec
ulators to trade In paper cotton, and are
merely demanding what they know Is a
proper valuation OF the raw staple itself
in this year OF small supply and big de-
mand.
The Southern people are to be congrat-
ulated upon their good sense and wise con
servatism in marketing cotton this sea-
son. They have resisted all efforts made
to depress the market, and have come out
victorious. The Post felicitates Itself upon
having done its part in making the merits
OF cotton known TO the world during the
past four months, and in warning farmers
and merchants of the many schemes un-
dcrtnkcn by those striving to bring about
lower values.
Cotton is fully worth the price now
being obtained for it, and the manufac;
turer can easily afford to purchase the
small stock now left In the South at even
higher quotations.

COTTON IN DEMAND.

But the effect OF that constant aow OF

bound TO be recorded. has been quickly
dlspailed. The holders of the staple soon
realized that the pretended friendship OF

South would lose, The Post and Other
Southern papers used every effort to ex.

Cincinnati is practically a newcomer. 1t
was rumored some months ago that Gin

convention but the disastrous ending OF
the Ohio campaign last fall temporarily
put stop to the movement, but Cincin-
natl is now in earnest and has started
raising a fund and insugurating crusade
which promises to make II an important
factor in settling the location question
Just what strength Cincinnati will be
able to muster is not apparent at this
time, although its friends insist that 1t
will have strong Southern and Eastern
support
Kansas City seems TO have made the
most intelligent and systematic effort for
the convention and its claims for the
honor of being the city in which MIR. BRYAN

dency are very strong It's transporta-
ton facilities are unexcelled by any city
in the United States; It's climatic condi-

National convention has ever been held
so far West but an investigation has
demonstrated that Kansas city is located
almost equally distant from the Atlantic
and PaciNo coasts, and after the eXpe-
