OUR OWN HEATHEN.

While the women of this country are
seriously considering the question wheth-
er or not they are the slaves of tyrant
man, they have evidently not grasped
the startling fact that at least half a
million of them are heathens. This un-
welcome announcement is due to Rev.
Sheldon Jackson, a Denver minister,
whose travels have been somewhat extern
sive, and whose opportunities for obtain
ing information concerning the degrada-
tion of woman in America have very
clearly been improved.
His statistics bear the impress Of re-
liability, and seem to suggest a wider
field for the operations Of philanthropic
ladies than any that has lately been
presented. Leaving out of the account
all the depraved women of civilization,
DR.. jackson estimates that the starry
folds of the American flag float over five
hundred thousand females who are abso-
luteiy heather. First among these are
the women of Arizona, who are descend
ants of the once powerful Aztecs, and
who still worship the sun with all the
solemnity that characterized the deyo-
tions of that wonderful people. Next
come the native women Of New Mexico,
who are but slightly removed from posi-
tive paganism, and whose religion
seems to chiefly consist in per-
4sonal laceration and torture. The
two thousand females of Alaska
are referred to.as the most depraved Of
mortals. They worship any article whose
origin or construction is beyond theil
comprehension; they sell their offspring
for mere pittance; they speedily put ar
end to their deformed children, and they
throw their aged and infrm into the ses
without any ceremony whatever Here
is chance for the missionary to enter il
and distinguish himself on Americaa sol
and under Governmental protection.
In his classification of heather womer
DR. Jackson has included the female pop
ulation Of Mormondom, and although hi
views in this respect will meet with op
POSITION it must be confessed
tsat he produces some forciblt

JUMPING AN Ice CHAsM-One day last
week, while trout fishing near the mouth of
the bay Henry Hanson was about two
miles from the shore, busily engaged in
hauling in some fine specimen of fish, when
brisk wind arose and carried the ice field
upon which he was at work out into Green
Bay. Unon becoming aware of his peril
Henry made bee line for a spot on the field
where the gap appeared to be of the least
width, drawing with him the sled used in
hauling his lines, fish, &c. Fastening rope
TO the sled, he threw the remainder of the
coil over to the firm ice, and then took a
running jump across the chasm. He did
not stop to measure the distance, but thinks
it was ten or twelve feet; and though he ex-
pected 10 take cold bath, he fortunately
landed in safety, hauled his sled across the
opening, and concluded that he didn't care
much for trout fishing, any .-[Sturgeon

Dogs on the Battle Field.

The suggestion Of tho Hchr ZcttGnJ
is that race of dogs should be attached
to armies in their campaigns, or at least
to the corps Of ambulance service atten-
ding uron them. AMI that after every
battle the dogs in question should be
sent forth to range over the field Of bat

selves in some refuge, and after figur-
ing in the list Of "missius" men too
often perish miserab,g before any relief
can find them out. It seems that the
idea of employing dogs in this way is by
no means a new one, but was brought
forward two years ago at Dresden,
when some dogs qualified for this pur-
pose were shown in an exhibition.
Since that time experiments have been
made by means of crossing tie st. Bern-
ard with view to obtaining tie more
suitable breed, and very satisfactory
result IS said to have been arrived at
by the German fanciers. The precise
mode of employing the animals on their
bcneGcient rllssion is described in the
Vienna paper, which explains that the
dog is furnished with leather collar
and plate, having marked upon it his
number and the division of the army
to which he is attached. and the Geneva
Cross. To this collar is suspended
small leathern bag. containing pencil
and slip of paper, and even little lam
torn in case Of his being sent out at
night. The wounded man. upon being
found, opens the bag and writes his
nam, if lie can upon the paper, to-
ce,hcr with the nature of his injuries
and or the return Of the animal to the
ambulance assistance is sent under its
guidance to the spot where the sufferer
is concaalel.-Laud and Water.

A Destructive EARTHQUAKE.

During the recent heavy earthquake
shocks in Venezuela, the town of Qua,
about thirty-6ve miles south h.wcst of
Caracas, was entirely destroyed. A ter
riblc shock was suddenly felt at about
$50 in the evening. The ground seemed
to roll like sea waves, throwing down
the walls of the houses, crushing many,
and entsu4 ling others in the debris.
The roofs were made Of light material,
which caught Gre from the lamps which
were overturned, and a general conHa-
grafton ensued. In vain the poor unfor.
tunates who had escaped tho falling
walls endeavored to gain open ground.
The flames spread rapidly. and the peo-
pie on the outskirts of the village were
unable to offer any assistance. Tho
shrieks of the dying were to be heard
for long time above the cracking Of
the flames. Fully three hundred lives
were lost at Qua that night. Repetitions
of tho earthquake were looked for, and
those who had escaped were in a con-
slant state of terror for a number Of
days. Word was sent to Caracas, and
subscriptions were made in all the large
towns of the neishborhood to aid the
sufferers. The President of Venezuela
started for tho scene, and on the way
was thrown from his carriage, owing to
the roughness of the road, but was not
seriously injured. Shocks were felt all
over the country for several days.

to be so is the question. Many good
boy and girl feel that they can not be-
have themselves in the presence of com.

distrustful the moment they are ad-
dressed by u stranger, or appear in com-
pany. There is but one wayto get over
this feeling and acquire graceful and
easy manners, that is to do the best
they can all the time at home as we'll as
abroad. Good manners are not so much
the result of arbitrary teaching so much
as acquired from habit They grow upon
US by use. We must be courteous, agrees
