II is probable that the earliest wall
paintings were those of the Egyptians.
Those people employed a distemper
containing dissolved gum and their
principal pigments were white chalk,
a vegetable yellow ochres. Ethiopian

walls of Assyrian and Babylonian
dwellings were treated in much the
same way, and the practice of paint

q surface so prepared are permanent,
which certainly is characteristic of

some minds are deep and knowi.

shallow. Some men behave like
SolOns grave and some are sports
and friskers; some will not wear the
facial hair, and others wear long
whiskers. 1t takes all kinds of
men and minds to make the world
we dwell in; it is not wise to criti-
else or of their faults be yellin'. You
loaf in town and say that Brown is
like dumb driven cattle; that old
man Jones is naught but bones, and
you can hear him rattle; you roast
old links because he drinks, and
jeer at all your neighbOrs; you ought
to stop that sort of yawp, and take
up useful labors. Yes, brother, un.
til no fault in you can be diskiver-

as we're bnilt we toll and tilt
around this worlds arena. Because
I'm squat shall throw shot at lads
who're tall and slender? Shall they
assure me I'll be poor till grease is
legal tender? All men have faults
who graveyard waltz, a trail of sins
behind 'em; but we, with zest,
should seek the best, and take men

Suffrage would be a loSsto women
because suffrage implies not merely
the casting of the ballot, the gentle

but suffrage, if it means anything
means entering upon the field ofpo-

strife, contention; bitterness, heart.
burnings. excitement, agitation,
everything which is adverse to the
true character of woman. Women
rules today by the sweet and noble
influences of her character. Put
woman into the arena of conflict
she abandons these great weapons
which control the world, and she
takes into her hands weapons with
which she is unfamiliar and which
