Among the bills .passed by the Illinois Legislature which became laws on the first of, July is one providing for the trans­ fer of the "Lincoln'monument fWAa the Monument Association to the State. The law makes appropriations for the repaii of the monument, the pay of a custodian, and the erection of a custodian's lodge, or house. It also provides that the Gov­ ernor, State Treasurer and Superintendent of Public Instruction shall be trustees of the State to have the care apd custody of the monument. The monument Was dedicated Oct. 15, 1874, the occasion b'eing signalized by a tremendous outpouring of the people, the •ABSOLUTELY PURE His Excellent Reasons. A man on the cable car the other morning was overheard giving his views of woman suffrage. "No," he said, "I don't believe in it, and my reasons for not believing in it are these; I don't want my wife and daughter to come in contact with the sort of^men that one meets around polling places. They-are not the sort of men that my wife and daughter would meet any­ where else--they are the sort that all men would try .to protect them from upon all occasions. Anything that would tend to bring women in Contact With such men should, therefore, be dis­ countenanced.'" "Ah," replied his wom­ an companion, "there's where the so­ cial side of the question conies in. Why is ij wherever woman fs concerned the sooial side of i t must be considered ?" "It isn't the social -side,", responded the mail, "It's the decent- respectable side. The men. that one meets at the polls are not the.sort of men women ought to meet anywhere--and "that's all there is to it. It's not a question of caste. It's a question of respect and honor. I have, though, another reason for not wanting women to vote. It is that they haven't time to do so and thefe's no use in ex­ tending them the suffrage unless they're going to profit by thg privilege. Of course there are women who have the time, but they're not the bone and sinew of womankind. Their presence wouldn't help the cause in the slightest. It's just the same way with the men. Everyone knows that when a man be­ comes a politician his business suffers. It would be the same with a woman. Her home-making, which is the profes­ sion of the best of them. Would be se­ riously interfered with if she turned politician. These are my reasons, for not favoring woman suffrage."--New York Evening Sun. Handy. An alarm letter-box is a recent inven­ tion.

THE LINCOLN MONUMENT. oration commemorative of the life and public services of the great emancipator being delivered by Richard J. Oglesby. i President Grant also spoke briefly on that occasion and a poem was read by James Judson Lord. The monument was built after the accepted designs of Lark in G. Meade, of Florence, Italy, and stands upon an eminence in Oak Ridge Ceme­ tery, occupying about six acres of ground. Ground was broken on the site Sept. 10, 1S69, in tiie preseuee. of 3,000 persons. The capstone was placed jn position on May 22, 1871, and on Sept.:;.I9, 1871, the remains of Lincoln were removed from the temporary tomb and placed in the crypt under the monument. In the other crypt .• ^'reposes the remains of Eddie, son of Mr. if^nd Mrs. Lincoln, who .died in infancy, of Thomas (Tad)," tticir youngest son, WH> died in Chicago July 15, 1871.

American women are, unfortunately, particularly subject to those painful fe­ male diseases that are the cause of so much hopelessness and misery.

It succeeds in removing the cause of the trouble- Women who rely more upon their own natural common-sense, rather than on the theories of their physicians, write to Mrs. Pinkham. at Lvnn, Mass., and arc soon restored to health.

The answer was " 'Cause he can't swim." THE LINCOLN nOME, SPRINGFIELD, appearing in view. It consists of a 6quare base 72^ feet on each side, and 15 feet 10 inches high. At the north side of the base is a semi-circular projection, the interior of which has a radius of 12 feet. It is the vestibule of the catacomb, and gives access to view the crypts in which are placed the bodies of Lincoln and his sons. On the sonth side of the base is another semi-circular projection of the same size, but this is continued into the base so as to produce a room of elliptical shape, which is called Memorial Hall. Thus the base measures, including these two projections, 119^ ttet from north to south and 72feet from east to west. In the angles formed by the addition of these two projections are handsome flights of stone steps, two on each end. These steps are protected by granite balustrades, which extend completely around the top of the base, which forms a terrace. From the plane of this terrace rises the obelisk, or die, which is 28 feet 4 inches high from Success the most pronounced and em­ phatic has been scored by, the revised and lejuvenated edition of "Ali Baba" at the Chicago Opera House.

It is now as near perfection as is •ever attained in productions of this tvpi1. . The particular points of excellence, out­ side of the painting and costuming, are the company and the new musical equip­ ment.

"It may not be generally known that there is a remarkable aggregation of cats in the big city postolfice in New York," said Mr. Lambert at the Nor­ ma ndie to a Washington News reporter. "I served in that office once and became so interested in the 50 or 200 cats in the basement of the building that I began to ruak^a sort of study of the animal in general. These cats are kept there to prevent the mice from chewing up the contents of the mail bags. So necessary are they regarded that an appropriation of $20 a month is available for their support. The light of day never strikes the room in which the cats are allowed to roam, and from year in to year out the electric lights are kept burning. Those cats know very well that the light is artificial, and no one can tell me to the contrary, for, as I say, I have made a study of them. The conseT quence is the animals labor under the delusion that all time is night time, and in spite of the fact that several hundred persons are at work in the room con­ stantly. those cats are not deterred from indulging in their nocturnal ser­ enades. They howl and fight and scratch exactly the same as if they were stationed on a back yard fence with the darkness of Egypt about them. Oh. yes, the clerks become use-; 1 o it after a while and pay no attention to them." One Consolation. A neighbor had been spending an hour in Mrs. Wilson's sitting-room, en­ gaged ;n talk which, as the opeaker '•eivielf confessed, "sounded like gos­ sip." Some of it she had "never men­ tioned to a. living soul before." She mentioned it now "only in the strictest confidence." ' ' - Mr. Wilson found it hard work to re­ strain himself, and as soon as the wom­ an was gone he took Mrs. Wilson gen­ tly to task. "Mjwy," he said, "I do think you ought to be ashamed to encourage Mrs. Gosy visits. You can't really enjoy hearing your, neighbors pulled to pieces in that style." • Jjiiifrte'* "No, George,-' answered M-rs.^Wilso#, "I can't say I do. But then, as long as she is liere I know she isn't talking about me." It was a clever answer, but it may be' doubted whether Mr. Wilson thought it quite covered the case; f O N T H E R O A D ii.. to recovery, the young woman who is taking Doctor Pierce's Favorite Pre­ scription.
