Precipitation.


Many Of the diseases Of horses aud
cattle are caused by suppressed or
checked perspiration the various APP
pearances they assume depending per
haps. in q great measure, upon the sud
denneas with which the discharge is
stopped, and the state of the animal
at the time it takes place Thus, if
horse. after being heated and made to
sweat by exercise, and then suffered TO
stand still, be exposed to a cold wind
or ram, fever, or inflammation Of
some internal organ will probably he
the consequence and the disease thus
produced will be still more serious, if
the horses exercise has been such as
to produce considerable fatigue. If,
on the other hand, 3 cold currenI II
air be admitted to a horses body, as
he stands in stable, it will often
cause catarrh or cold. Cattle often
suffer from being kept in cold, bleak
situations, particularly in the early
part Of spring during the prevalence
of a northwesterly wind. In this case
the suppression of the perspiration is
more gradual, and the diseases which
results from 1t are slower in their
progress, consequently more insidlouS
IN their nature; and it often happens
that the animal is left in the same
cold situation until the disease is in
durable. 1t seems probable that, in
these cases, the perspiring vessels
gradually lose their power, and that at
length total and permanent suppress
sion Of that necessary discharge takes
place; hence arises eonsumptions, de.
cayed liver, mesenteric distinctions,
aud various other complaints. How
necessary, therefore, it is to provide
sheltered situations for the stock. How
many diseases might not be prevented
by such precaution, and how much
might not be saved, not only in pre-
serving the lives of the cattle, but in
avoiding the expense (too often use
less, to say the least Of it, Of cattle
doctoring!

new York, Aug. 22.-Editors AT
lanta Constitution | wish to say a
few words to the cotton planters who
read the Constitution, and through
them to all the planters IN the cotton
belt. These words are in regard to
cotton seed oil. If my words could
be needed the wealth of the South
would be doubled.
Almost every educated family in
New York city is to-day using refined
cotton seed oil for all cooking pnr-
poses in place of so-called olive oil and
lard. 1t is found TO be sweeter and
healthier article of food than lard or
ordinary butter. II is mneh easier TO
handle. 1t can be corked tightly III
cans. 1t is the easiest material for a
cook to use. There is hardly an intel
ligent family in New York that does
not use refined cotton seed oil for all
salads, mayonnaiSe dressing, frying
oysters, fish, cakes and everything
formerly fried in lard In fact, pork
and lard has disappeared from the
New York cnisine aud cotton seed oil
has taken its place.
Yesterday our leading grocer in
New York sent me up the fourth three
gallon can of cotton seed oil. II was
better than any ever received before.
1t cost 81 cents per gallon. or about
six cents per pound. We had tomatoes
and cucnmbers dressed in it for din
ner French dreSsing), and had salmon
fried in it. Several epieures at the
table pronounced the oil equal to the
best olive oil. My cook uses it for
ordinary shortening" For extra
Ordinary shortening, Of course we
use Philadelphia butter worth 80 cents
ner poupd.

The Lord Chamberlain whipped up his
horses and tore down the road to the pail
ace, where the King, overioved at the good
tidtngs, embraced his faithful servant and
gave him as reward all sorts of toy crosses
and stars to wear at his bteast, and about
fifteen yards of ribbon to wear about his
neck and shoulders.
The wedding was splendid. The whole
city was gay with flags and banners. and
garlands hung in huge festoons from house

else was thought Of and talked about.
The King and Queen lived so happily to.
gether for year that the King had quite
forgotten about the ginqerbread and 9he
Queen about the trombone. Unhapril7,
one morning, the King got out Of bed with
his left foot foremost, and that day all
things went wrong. So 1t happened that
the royal pair quarreed for the a ST time,
though they could not have told the reason
why. In short. the King was cross. and
the Queen was snappish and insisted on
having the last word.
''It is about time that you ceased finding
fault with everything" the Queen said al
last, with great scorn, Struggling her shou-
ders. why, you can't even play on the
trombone
''Aud you can't bake gingerbread,' the
King retorted, quick as flash.
For tie first lime the Queen did not know
what to say, and so, without another word.
they went to their separate rooms. The
Queen thre herself on the sofa and wept
bit erly. "What little fool you arer, she
sobbed. "Where was your common sense?
You couldn't have been more stupid if YOU
had tried"
As for the King, be strobe up and down
the room rubbing his hands. sit is fortu-
nate that sy wife can't bake gingerbread

what should have answered when she said
that l couldn't play on the trombone?n

looked at the great picture of his wife over
the i0antel, and then, climbing upon chair,
he brushed away cobweb that was dang
ling over the nose of the Qneen.
"How angry she must havs been, poor lit
tie womanr' he said at last. Suppose /
see what she is doing"
He stepped into the long corridor into
which all the rooms opened, aud it being the
day when all things went wrong, the groom
of the chambers had forgotten to light the
| entry-lamp, though it was eight O'clock at
night and pitch dark. The King went crop
ing forward, with his hands stretched out for
fear of falling. when suddenly he touched
something very soft.
"Who is there?' he demanded.
1T is l." sad the Queen.

Mrs. L. G Runkle, in the March Centuryl
woMAN's RIGHT TO EDUCATIONAL PRIvI-
LEGEs.
The spirit of justice, of course, would rest
woman's claim to the highest educational
privileges on the human right to unrestrict-
ed growth. for soul is above sex. But here,
as everywhere, the way of justice is the way
of expediency. Enlightenment is not in
proportion to the amount of knowledge on
deposit, at any one time; it is in proper
tion to its diffusion. Because of the deyo-
tion Of the average American to business
the early aud sensitive years of the child's
life to what shape they must. To the fit
ness Of the average mother and schoolmis
tress for this high task, what wasted pow
ers, VI hat mean ideals what mistaken views
OF life bear witnessl Raise her schools, and
the whole standard Of woman's existence is
raised For the higher the few can reach.
the higher the many rise. 1t is her perverted
love OF beauty which makes woman extrava-
CANT. 1t is her uBcultivated desire for the
higher sattsfactions of art which makes our
homes museums of upholstery. 1t is her
unenlighened loyalty to the spirit of good
which bids her cling to the abuses that we're
once uses, to harmful supArstitions that
were once faiths, and to-day constitutes her
the most conspicuous bar to progress
Tocqueville says hat he ascribes the treaeh-
cry of some of the first leaders in
the reform movements in France to the un
happy influence of wives and sisters on hus-
bands and brothers. The claims of the
past and their own private interests were
more to them than he welfare of the strug-
Cling millions. Their perspective was in
fault But when thorough culture and
trained judgment are added to the 'ssuper
lunary vrtues' of women, these accusa-
tions must fall.
In the time of old Cato the women raised
an insunection to obtain the privilege of
riding in chariots, Of decking themselves
with rings, and of wearing purple robes
To-day they demand the outlook Of broad
er humanity, the jewel of high culture, the
royalty OF knowledge.

II. W. Higginson. in Harpsr's Magazine for March
FRENCH TREATMENT OF THE NORTH AMER
ICAN INDIANS.

Il. NJ Hlgg1nson. IN Harper's Magazine for March
FRENCH TREATMENT OF THE NORTH AMER
IcAN INDIANS.
The first French colonists were rarely
such in the English or even the Spanish
sense. They were priests or soldiers, or
traders-the latter at first predominating.
They did not offer to buy the lands of the
Indians, as the English colonists afterwards
did, for an agricultural colony was not their
aim. They wished to wander through the
woods with the Indians, to join in their
hunting and their wars, and, above all, to
buy their fnrs. For this they we're ready to
live as the Indians lived, In all their dlscom-
forts: they addressed them as 'brothers" or
as 'children;" they married Indian wives
with full church ceremonies. No such free
dom of intercourse marked the life of any
English settlers. The Frrnchmen, appar-
emily, liked to have the Indians with them !;
the savages were always coming and going,
in full glory, abont the French settlements; !;
they feasted and slept beside the French
they were greeted with military salutes. The
stately and brilliant Comte de Frontenae,
the favorite officer of Turenne, and the init
mate friend of La Grande Mademoiselle, did
not disdain, when Governor general of Cana
da, to lead in person the war-dance of his
Indians, singing and waving the hatchet,
while wigwam-full of braves, stripped and
painted for war, went dancing and bowling
after him, shouting like men possessed, as
the French narratives say. He himself ad-
mlts that be did it deliberately in order to
adopt theilsways. (Je leur mis- aloy-nesme
la hache la main. pour M mdccomedef'
tears JaeonS de faire.) Perhaps no single
act ever done by Frerchman in America
indicates SO completely the temperament
which won for them the hearts of the Ipdi-
ans.
The pageantry of the Roman Catholic
Church had, moreover, it's charms for native
converts; the French officers taught them
how to fight; the French priests taught them
how to die. These heroic missionaries cUuld
bear torture like Indians, and could forgive
their tormentors as Indians could not. This
combination of gentleness with courage was
something wholly new to the Indian phios-
ophy OF life. Pere Brebeuf wrote TO Rome
from Canada, THAT which above all things
| is demanded of laboreis in this vineyard is
an unfailing sweetness and a patience thor
oughly tested.D And when he died by tor
ture in l649 he SO conducted himsel that
the Indians drank his blood, and the chief
devoured his heart, in the hope that they
might become as heroic as he was.

How About the Girls?

During the discussion of the school ques-
ton that has ragged In Portland the past few
weeks little has been said Of the education
of our girls. Much talk has been made
about our boys, and of the wisdom of pro-
vjding mechanical instruction for them. No
one has suggested that school of cookery
or dressmaking, or millinery should be es-
tablshed for our daughters. Are they not
as worthy of consideration as our sonp. In
deed do they not need to be more amply
equipped for the battle of life? If they are
the weaker then certainly all the more they
arein want of defensive armor and agrees
i've weapons.
"A Father who writes to the New York
sun concerning these matters gets sugges-
tive answers to his questions. He asks what
education he shall give his three daughters
to enable them to support themselves If left
dependent. The Sun, in reply, gives some
good advice, suggesting that little can be
done byepecial aptitudes, and that ''the first
thing to do, SO soon as the general elemea.
tary foundation has been laid, is to train
your girls to do some one thing especially
well. There may be nothing for which they
have any special fancy or aptitude, but, if
they are bright glls, that does not matter.
They can be made and can make themselves
what they wish, within the limits of their
capacity, provided they learn habits of ap-
plicatiou and industry and do not aim too
high at the start If it is manifest that one
is working to no purpose, change the direc-
tion; and remember that it is not wise to
reject an occupation or trade because ii
seems too humble. They can be telegraph
ers, decorative artists, designers of patterns,
fnishers for the industries wherein taste and
nice skill are required, physicians, trained
nurses, writer's, actors upon theatrical stages,
artistic embroidereres, shopkeepers, book
keepers, cashiers; and in many other de-
partments of business, and in many trades,
they can find opening if they have the re-
quisiie special training"
eSpringfield Republican adds: Dress
making, millinery and cooking are taking
new rank as vocations in which artistic
sense, business capacity and skill may be
combined to the great advantage of those
who pursue them. An academy of pharma-
cy is about to be opened at Louisville, KY,
for the instruction of women in the profess
ion of apothecaries.

THE Detroit Post comments with consid-
cradle sharpness but with, it seems to us,
justice, on the Isabella mine business. Ii
says: The Christian Advocate of New York
which published an editorial Endorsement of
the Isabella mine and thereby induced many
a Methodist brother to invest in the worth
less stock, publishes an explanation" 1t
does not lay great stress on the fact that it's
proprietors were let in on "the ground
noor'' for what little stock they needed for
their own use, but enlarges upon the bland
ishments OF the cunning Bixby, who was to
plaster the Wesleyan university in Tennes-
see all over with beautiful Autographed GER
tificates of stock by way of endowment, and
tells how the guileless president of that in
stitution came up to New York SO full of
the crazy scheme, that "the CLEAN of conf.
dence in his eye" and "the smile of serene
anticipation on his lips," deceived the very
elect who edit the paper and led them to
write gorgeous puff of the mine, which
enabled Bixby aforesaid to 'unload" large
quantity of his stock upon the innocent
brethren who take their instructions in
finance from their religious organ. The
Christian Advocate should confine itself to
morals and theology and leave the Mammon
Of unrighteousness to be dealt with by the
secular press, which is better seasoned and
less liable to be taken in by the snares and
devices of the evil one. The newspapers Of

THE unwavering Virgins, not content

that 1t will be "as great storm as ever oc-
Cured upon the earth or can possibly oc-

Its own confutation, for no man with the
slightest appreciation of the sublimity of
