Dependent Women.

In looking over this subject we con-
clude that all women are to some degree
dependent-it is their nature but that
many are pitiably so, peeuniarily, So
cially, morally and intellectually is to be
lamented, and we hope to present sew
eral phases which may help to open the
eye of wisdom and broaden the useful
ness of all.
Dependence in every case means an
insignificant and unfortunate condition,
The woman with no family cares who
is pecuniarly dependent in these days is
more unhappily situated; and if she is
woman of spirit and health, will not
long remain So There is always room
for work when the will is so inclined.
Very often the wife and mother fells
she is dependent This is utterly incon-
sistent with the true home, which is a
sacred partnership in which the husband
and wife join, both giving their time
and labor. Men toe often fail to see
that the family money question is one
of the most serious drawbacks to mar
ried happiness, and that the system Of
their dealing out twenty-five cents for a
stick of braid or spool of silk, when the
wife is forced to ask for it, is crushing
and degrading. Women, as a rule, can
make one dollar 90 as far as two in the
hands of men. Their labor in conduct
ing the internal affairs of home is often
far more than the labors ofthe husband
She is entitled as pecuniary partner to
half the money earned, and yet the idea
OF sharing the profits is never considered
by him, and she is compelled to ask
every time money is needed.
There is another kind OF dependence
even more unfortunate, which is often
praised as though it was a virtue, is
much affected by certain class of wo-
men, and its possession extolled by a
certain class ofmen-a clinging, depend
ent nature. In real life nothing is more
tiresome. The woman who has no re-
sources within herself, who depends up
on her husband or society, who cannot
entertain herself, who is not sef-poIsed,
rotating on her own axis, pursuing and
keeping her own orbit, falls far short of
being the attraction and power which is
her right. That wife makes fatal mis-
take who proposes to make her husband
happy by devoting herself to him to the
exclusion of her own individuality
Women should understand men bet
ter than they understand themselves,
and the really Intelligent and compre-
hensiye woman does. They must inn
prove, must grow and if the power be-
hind the throne, or on the throne, in
sists upon dealing out the twenty-five
cents, and the keen perception Of wo-
man cannot change that power, then
send out the creepers along some line
where they can live, that you may stand
upright in your own spiritual and men
tai independence.

widows and orphans and other benefciaries
of trust estates whose entire income consists
of the interest received upon the securities
in which the principal is required to be IN
vested.
When a private individual, not engaged
in the business of banking, purchases, either
for himself or as guardian, executor or trus-
tee. 3 per cent United States bonds to the
amount of 800, 900, the whole annual in
come derived from them is $1,000; but If a
national bank purchases the same amount
and description of bonds, and deposits them
with the Treasurer as a basis for its circula-
ton, it receive the same amount, 81, 900, an
nually as interest on the bonds, and be-
sides the Government Immediately returns
to it 100000 of guaranteed notes, OF
which $500 can be loaned out to the peo-
pie for its own exclusive benefit at such rates
of interest as it will command in the mar
ket 1t is thus enabled to receive out of the
public Treasury 3d. 900 annually as interest
on its bonds, and if the commercial rate OF
interest be 6 per cent. it receives an addi-
tional So, $50 as interest on the $S6, 900 loan
ed out. From this last amount, however,
there should be deducted the sum of $500,
being the per cent. tax on circulation, and
$81, the estimated average annual amount
of redemption expenses, so that the bank in
fact receives the net sum of 81 149 ann ually,
as against $1,000 received by the private in
dividual on precisely the same investment.

SLOWLY DYING.
A Man Who while Asleep was Bitten
by Rattlesnake.
From the C)necuh (Aia.) star.l

From the C)necuh tAia.l Start
One of the saddest sights we ever saw was
that of a man aged about ffty>fve years,
who stopped at the Kendall house, in Ever
green, last Saturday. On the 10th day of
last August, about noon, while herding cat
tie on the Texas plains he fell asleep, and
while in this condition he vas bitten on the
left arm, just above the wrist, by rattle
snake. He was at the time great way
from any town or village, and by the time
he reached physician the poison had per-
meated his entire system. From that very
moment he began to die, and to look at him
you can at once see that upon him the king
Of Terrors" has already set his seal and has
only granted him respite for while, but
the days of that respite are full Of torture,
and no doubt the poor, unhappy victim longs
for the end to come. Last Saturday night
he vas suffering Undesirable torture. In his
agony he called upon the great God and upon
feeble man to give him relief but pot mo-
ment was he free from pain that was SO ter
rible that language cannot describe it. His
body is now full Of the most loathsome scabs
from which the poison continues to exude:
His death it only a question of time and
when 1t does come it viii be to him happy
radiance from suffering.

A LEARNED LADY OF THE SIXTEENTH
CENTURY.-At the Court of Ferrara Olym-
pia Morata began her higher studies by at
tending the classes of the professors at the
university, her own father, Cello Calcagnini,
and especially two German, Chilianus and
John Sinapius, who were doctors of medi-

Sinapius, Olympia felt that she owed much,
and, like all who are really in earnest with

/ Cicero At the age of ii she wrote Latin
letters translated several of Boccaccio's sto-
ries into Latin, wrote observations on Ho.
mer, and several rhetorical compositions in
| praise of celebrated men of old times. She
then turned her attention to the higher
| branches of learning, philosophy and theolO-
gy, and wrote dialogues in Greek and Latin
! in the style of Plato and Cicero, dealing with
/ philosophical and theological subjects. She
| was scarcely Is years old when she was re-
quested TO give lectures in the University
