New York Herald.
Wisconsin must In future lie set down
as the champion female suffrage state.
While Massachusetts, and Connecticut
and New York and other states have
been doing out small installments Of
what Is called justice TO woman, accord
ing 10 the gentier sex-the petty con-
cessions OF the right 10 serve upon school
boards and TO vote when they possess n
certain amount of property-the legisla-
ture OF the Badger State has ut a bound
set aside the scruples Of the more con-
~seryative commonwealth, and without
regard to previous condition OF serv-
itude, race, religion or sex, declared
that In their opinion women are rs fully
entitled to exercise the right Of suffrage
rs men. A resolution TO this effect has
been almost unanimously passed by tho
two houses Of the legislature, and we
are told by the local journals that the
passage Of the bill was greeted In the
senate with ''thunders" Of applause by
the fair occupants OF the galleries. The
question is not, however, definitely de-
cided, for IL seems the trifiing obstacle
Of the state constitution stands In the
way, and II will be necessary to amend
that instrument before the women Of
Wisconsin a enter upon the full
career OF life, liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness. 1t will DO the fault OF the
women themselves II they do not win
In the coming contest. So far rs we
can see, the only difficulty in the matter
Is that the unmarried women are not
included In the proposed amendment.
Married ladies only are to be admitted
TO the sacred privileges OF the ballot
box, those who are so unfortunate rs
not to have changed their names being
vigorously excluded from the benefits
OF the act. However. rs this Is leap
year, the women Of Wisconsin have the
whole question in their own hands.

Sad has been the experience Of .

q year ago from . maiden whom he
greatly admired. The LADY ~ sid 70
have playfally remarked that the indul-

own story he has paid the amount many
times over, without having healed the
supposititious husbands wounded honor
In the least. He claims 10 have paid
bills presented in the names OF consta-
bles, lawyers and other affrighting peo-
pie, and finally found reason 10 believe
that he had been blaekmailed. Evil

stand business. There were several
courses open 10 him, any OF which
would have been more manly than the
one submitted 10. He might have
sought out the alleged husband and
made restitution without the assist
ance Of middlemen, who always are en-
pe~nsive. or he might have fought the
matter out in the courts and established
the exact value OF kisses in New Jer-
sey. Young men from adjacent states
would have ~cheerfully contributed to
the expense Of such a Ease. Indeed, he
might have gone to the lady herself and
honorably offered TO return the proper
ty appropriated under misrepresentation.
Under no circumstance should he have
paid as much as lie did; kisses are not
worth 50 much money anywhere in the
limited Statea-K. Y. Herald.

Dangerous Snort.

DIR. PECK, of the Surgical Institute,
yesterday performed surgical operation
on the leg of young girl by the name
of Jordan, from Illinois, sent here for
treatment. The bones of both her legs
will have to be partially removed, and
the little sufferer will have to submit to
two painful operations. The cause of
her affection is from jumping the rope" :"
apastime engaged in generally by young
girls, resulting in Hecrosis, or death of
the bone. The doctor stated to a re-
porter, in this connection, that similar
cases were constantly occurring from
this same cause, but more frequently re-
sulting in necrosis of the spine, and that
there has not been a month passed but
more or less cases of this character come
to the Institute for treatment. He says
that rope-jumping produces continuous
conclusions on the joints which impinge
upon the bone, causing at the first stage
periostetis, and finally resulting in the
death of the bone. He thinks that parents
and teachers should be warned of this
dangerous sport, and eradicate it entirely
from the Fairgrounds of children, as it il
ruinous in its effects, and is the prime
cause of more cripples among the female
portion of the community than probably
any one cause. He also added that
during the practice of his profession
deaths had been occurring, coming un
der his observation, which were the re
suit of this pernicious pastime. In con
clusion, he said: 81 would warn chill
dren against jumping, and woul'
advise parents and teachers to prohibit
under all circumstances -I1didaaapoh

and, finally, to the European pestilences
of 1916, 1929, 1S4S, 1859 and 1870.
Within the limits of magazine article it
would of course be impossible to exam
inc the matter in detail, but the author
discovers facts and condolences which
certainly go far toward proving his the
ory. In regard to the present time, he
says:
The last sun-spot minimum occurred IN
1873, and the maximum is due in 1884,
80; so that the great changes in solar and
terrestrial activity are compressed into
short time. 1t is only necessary to recall
the great fanines in India, China, and
Brazil, caused by drought, followed by
this strange and remarkable year, when,
but for steamships and railroads, all Eu-
rope would have suffered from famine
caused by excessive rain, the volcanic
erllptions, floods, the wet summer and
cold winter of Europe, to see that the old
influences are still active. Although,
! therefore, international charity and steam
transportation prevent India and Europe
| from falling into the famished and mis-
cradle condition which formerly followed
such seasons, yet it is not improbable
that the gathering forces of cholera,
plague, and yellow fever may, with the
ADVENT VI IeAt IldSl1uull, DuISU lIlo Icc-
BILE barriers with which civilization is try
ing to restrain them, and again desolate
great empires as former epidemics did in
592, 13S2-S3, 1925, and 1882.
The present season confirms this
statement, and possibly our Nationa
Board of Health will do well to take the
matter under consideration. If, by
proper sanitary measures, the germs o
disease fostered by mild winter coul6
be destroyed or rendered inert in the vi
cinity of large centers of population, thu
danger would be greatly lessened. Th'
trouble with most of our sanitary meas
ures is that they take the form of RENE
dies rather than preventatives. Boston

How Different Nations Bury Their Dead.

NEARLY all nations and tribes of men
bury their dead lying and extended from
east to west Some, however, bury them
sitting, and some lay their dead north
and south. The Bongos, people in
Central Africa, bury men with the face
to the north and women with the face to
the south. If one of the Wanyamwert,
in Africa, happens to die abroad, he is
buried facing his native village. The
custom of laying the body east and west
is originally due to solar symbolism, and
the head is turned to the east or the west
according as the dead are thought of in
connection with the sunrise, the reputed
home of deity, or with the sunset, the
reputed region of the dead. The Kam-
chatdales keep special dogs for the pur-
pose of consuming their dead. The La
tookas of Zanzibar bury their dead who
die from disease or old age, but make il
a rule to leave those slain in battle to be
devoured by wild beasts where they lie.
The Parsees bring their dead to certain
round towers, called towers of silence, to
be eaten by vultures, which make these
towers their dwelling places. The Moors
Law the bodies of the dead on the ground
and piling prickly thorns on them to keep
off beasts, leave the M to decay. The
ancient Colchians suspended the corpses
of men in trees, but their women they
buried. The Gonds and Bills of India
burn their men but bury their women
The Zodas bury children, the victims Of
infanticide, and burn all others. The
Greeks used both burial and burning
Among the Romans burial was the earli
er custom. Burning was not general til
the Republic, but vas universal undel
the Empire. The Egyptians embalmet
their dead. The Mahomedans and the
Christians both use burial.

Bad Behavior Of a Corpse.

SEVERAL days ago Mr.. J. McCloud, of
Faulkner County, died of rheumatism.
A large party volunteered to sit up with
the corpse, and when night came many
sad faces were seen, sallowed by the
mellowing light of tallow candles. The
minister came, and entering the room
remarked: Earth to earth and ashes
to ashes.' The corpse lay on a table
covered with sheet.
81 thought 1 saw the sheet move,''
said one of the watchers. ''See if there
is cat under it,
The company sat still.
81 am confident that the sheet moved, -
said the man.
The minister arose and lifted the sheet,
and, standing, he looked at the pallid
face of the dead man. The corpse S
head left the table The minister fell
back. Stiff, stark and terrible the corpse
slowly arose from the table and attained
a sitting posture. The legs remained
stretched out and the arms remained
folded. The women shrieked and ran
from the room, and the minister repri-
manding them for their weakness and
want of confidence, climbed fence and
stood in turnip patch. When the
frightened people saw that the corpse
did not intend to follow, they went back
into the house. The corpse still retained
the upright, rigid posture, stiff as the
| attitude struck by an amateur on the
stage.
With fears somewhat allayed the min
lister advanced, and placing hand on
| the dead mans breast pressed him back
ward. Proportionately as his head went
| down his heels came up, and when his
| head had touched the board, bis heels
were high in the air. The cause of the
dead man freak was then discovered
The muscles of the stomach, distorted
by rheumatism, were contracting. L
required the efforts of two men tt
straighten the corpse.-Little Rock (Ark.
