to increase our work. People who
think to do without the services of a
physician will not only do themselves
harm by the delay, but also with the
medicines which they do not know how
to use. 1t is like man trying to mend
leak in water pipe by soldering it
with the poker. He generally makes
the hole bigger. 1t is, of course, the
most difficult part of the physicians
duty to diagnose the disease. to tell
what is the real trouble with the pa
tient. 1t is not uncommon for even
educated physicians to make mistakes
in this respect The science of medi-
cine has progressed so far that every
part of the human body has been
pretty thoroughly studied, and the
treatment of the ailments of each part
is a speciality. 1t is impossible for one
physician to know all these diseases as
well as the specialists, and it is COM
mon practice among honest physicians
to refer patients to those who have made
a special study of the diseases which
affiict them. 1t is not uncommon for q
man to go from one physician to another
in the vain effort to discover his ailment.
Sometimes a patient will be treated by
successive physicians for the wrong all
ment, because some of the symptoms of
different diseases are similar. How un-
likely is it, therefore, that persons who
have not studied medicine can find out
what ails them"
(Which do you think do the most

women, decidedly, especially
mothers and old women. The reckless
temerity of some women in this respect
is wonderful. They rush in where
angels fear to tread Hastily Judging
from few symptoms that n case re-
sembles one which the family doctor
has treated, they will hunt up an old
prescription and administer the dose to
some confding husband or helpless
child. L could tell you some amusing
stories of the mistakes that are made in
where more serious consequences re-
suited. Take, for instance, a head
ache. 1t may come from dozen diff
ferent causes-from hunger, from in
digestion, from over-eXcitement of the
brain, from eating too much, from in
haling foul air. The remedy for a
headache varies with its cause. Yet
you will find women who have uni
versal panacea for headache, regardless
of the cause. Beware of such women. 1"

Women Who Speculate.

"What kind of spectators do the
ladies make?" asked the reporter.
IF there is anything in the world I
do admire it is smart woman, one who
has business qualities that can match a
man. There are a few such women in
the world, but they are hard to find.
AS rule, ladies do not make good
spectators. They have several short
comings that unfit them for business
transactions. speak from experience
when | say that they have no sense of
financial obligation. Their money is
good, but their word is not worth
shucks. Then they have such way Of
pleading when they get caught that a
fellow has not the heart to win their
margins"
"You don't mean to say that ladies
squeal when they lose, do you?" asked
the reporter.
"Yes, / do" said the broker, with en-
phasis. "They are the worst squealers
in the business. If they lose a little
money with You, ten to one you never
hear the end of it. They are 'kickers,
too, and don't hesitate to say you have
robbed them if they happen to get on
the wrong side. 1t is this fact that has
compelled most of the regular brokers
to refuse to deal with them. OF course,
there are some exceptions, and now and
then woman comes along that no one
can beat, and who always comes out
first in transaction. When you find a
woman of this description. the less you
have to do with her the better"
How many of this description has
Wall street produced asked the re-
porter.
"Only one, to my knowledge" said
the broker. "The majority of lady
spectators are long way behind the
game. They come here with money,
but they drop it all in time. A woman's
nature units her for speculation. She
naturally trusts q man, and good
talker can make her believe that any
stock is going up 20 per cent. Women
are rarely victimized with points on
the market, and when they believe they
are right nothing can shake them. L
never heard of woman who could
scalp in the market. Their minds are
too set, and it is next to impossible for
them TO change opinions"
"Then you don't think they are a sue
cess in Wall street," remarked the re-
porter.
"By no means. The ladies have no
business gambling. They ought to be
at home taking care of the babies. -

says the poet. Let us, then, endeavor
to get Mt least little clearer idea of
those differences that appear in the
female sex, and in order to lead You to
the comprehension of the subject let
me suggest to You the question: Why
is it that society demands of custom and
taste that the intended husband should
make the first advance toward the in
tended wife, and why it should not be
the opposite? Why woman should he
wooed by man and not him by her? l
hear it said that man is the protector of
woman, and that therefore he who con-
fers the benefit should be the one to
make the first advances. But If this
were the true explanation of the matter,
/ for on, cannot see why it should DO
wrong for one who needs protection TO
ask for it. Is it not something charming
for one who needs help to go up to one
who is able to give it and say, L need
your help, confidence and love? 1t is
said that man is the support of woman.
It seems to me if we are to consider who
does more for the other, the husband
for the wife or the wife for the husband,
we are entering on very
delicate subject, and that it would be
very difficult in justice and impartiality
to say which side the scale dips. 1t APP
pears TO me that the real explanation of
this matter is not to be found in the
fact that man is the protector of woman,
but rather in the fact that he is the adj
mirer of woman. The bond of admira-
ton is that which makes the first union
between the lovers. The first glance of
admiration that passes from the eye of
the man to the loneliness of woman may
be compared to that first wire that was
cast from shore to shore, thin wire
hardly visible, and then around this
wire other wires were woven, until at
last strong cable was formed to which
the bridge was attached, which the peo-
pie of either shore would pass over and
meet each other in unbroken commune
cation.
IF the bond of admiration is thus be-
gun, it makes the first connection that
leads to wedlock; then it is plain why
it is proper for man and not for woman
to propose the union. For admiration,
to be genuine, must not be asked for; it
must come spontaneously. The woman
might go to her protector and say Pro-
tect me, but she cannot go to- her adj
mirer and say Admire me. '"-Felir

Divorce Not Always Dishonor.

1t is made quite plain that men and
women should not make mistakes in
marrying; but as long as the world is
inhabited they will make such mistakes,
and make them with the best of inten-
tions. There is no possible way to pre-
vent it. The question is how best to UNI
make them? There is kind of moral
ity preached in novels which is lie,
debasing and foul in its influence. 1t
is that morality which waits for death
to cut the nuptial knot when it has be-
come canker to the soul. The influ-
ence If this teaching is for evil. In the
stories the selfish and tyrannical hus-
band dies. In real life the woman who
apes the abused wife of the novel poses
as the soul of love and duty, while in
her heart she longs for the day to come
when she can spread the earth over him.
Beside such vile hypocrisy as this legal
separation is as pure as snow. There is
neither morality, decency nor self-re-
spect in union which, while respecta-
bic on the surface, is a. rotten as sin
within. The woman who obtains q
divorce from the man she loathes pre-
serves her self-respect. The law forged
her bonds, and the law has power to
annul what it makes and leave her with
out dishonor in her own mind or the
public's. She need not lower herself
in her own estimation by nursing the
hope that he will die, which, if she were
an angel, she could not help doing if
there was no other way out of her mis-
ery.-IndidndpOliS ReuielC.

The Jagans impress one as a poor
race. In general the men are scarcely
more than of medium stature, while the
women rarely reach it. The faces of
this race are round, large and fat, with
huge cheek bones, low foreheads, large
and fiat noses, very black and restless
eyes, wide apart, large tumid lips and
strong jaws, furnished with beauti-
full teeth. The head and chest are
disproportionately large, compared
To the extreme slenderness of arms and
legs, and it is marvel that the latter
can support the well-deyeloped trunk
and heavy head. In spite of this strange
formation, both men and women have
uncommon strength, and have seen
them carry weights that would have
taxed the robustest of our sailors. No
less surprising is the smallness of their
hands and feet, which, if beauty is
very disadvantageOus to the men, who
can carry only one or two objects in
their hands at the same time. They
have rough, lusterless black hair, which
they wear long and falling over face
and shoulders. Some bind it with q
leather strap, but most let it grow to
such an extent that they look more like
furies than human beings. The men
have very little beard, and that little
they pluck out, while neither men nor
women have any hair on their bodies.
They do not tattoo, but use all kinds of
paint. Two or three hues of color on
the face and few necklaces of shells
or birds bones is the usual dress of
Fuegian.
For protection against the terrible
hurricanes, the SHOWS that fell during
the ten months of this year. and tor
rental rains that daily visit this miser-
able archipelago, the Fuegian only
wears small mantle of seal or guanaco
skin over his shoulders. The wigwams
are only made of intertwined branches,
fixed in some sheltered spot, but they
are too weak to keep out snow or rain.
These wigwams are used by the Fue-
gians who dwell near the few residents
of Uscumbia or round the mission; the
other natives scarcely ever remain more
than one or two days in the same place;
they lead a vagrant life in their small
canoes among the complicated canals of
this broken-up country, fishing and
hunting for their subsistence, of which
the sea furnishes the larger part
