Women IN Some Indian Tribes.

Some very curious facts have been
brought to light recently in paper by
Nj. Lucian Carr, assistant curator of the
Peabody museum at Cambridge, Mass.
lie has been investigating the social and
political condition of women among the
-Iroquois Indian tribes. Wendell
Phillips used to say that the North Amer
lean Indian race was superior to the
white in all the attributes of honor and
manliness, because they were ruled by
their women. Mr.. Carr's paper proves
it is a mistaken notion that the women
among these ancient Indian tribes were
slaves and beasts of burden Among all
tribes east of the Mississippi and south
of the Cumberland, the ultimate author.
ity rested with the women. The descent
of the chiefs was in the female line. The
son of a sachem could not succeed him.
1t must be the son of the chiefs sister or
Of a relative on the mothers side
Women made all the matches and ruled
married couples after they were welded.
The wife had the right of di-
vorce equally with the husband,
and to her belonged the wigwam
and all therein. When separation was
a new home. There was perfect sys-
tom of patriarchal rule in families, but
the patriarchs were, in fact, matriarchs.
Man were gloriously under women's
thumb, from his birch-bark cradle to his
grave. The women held a council of
their own, apart from that of the chiefs,
and decided what should be done. Then
the waiting chiefs and men went
and executed their commands. They
elected the chiefs, and war and peace
were in their hands. The children be-
longcd wholly to them. The man could
not 90 upon the war-path without the
woman's permission. AS often as she
pleased, however. she could send him
out TO take captlyes for slaves. Instead
of having all the life and spirit worked
out of her she really did not have so hard
time as our own pioneer mothers. Fin
ally by way of rubbing in of indigni-
ties, polygamy was not allowed, but oc-
casionally woman took unto herself
several husbands. In view of all these
curious and interesting historic facts it
is b b1rne in on the mind of the Hartford
COuraat TO eXclaim: "Men and Brethren
are we to become Iroquois?n
Women, both in France and Switzer-
land, have Il far more important role in

HEALTH HINTS.

The Medical Summary recommends the
external use of buttermilk to ladies who
are exposed to tan or freckles.
Spirits of camphor and starch applied
to burn will extract the fire and give
speedy relief. The starch should be
kept moistened with the camphor.
Rhigoline spray is recommended in
the treatment of neuralgia, especially of
the portia duo of the seventh nerve. 1t
is said to give almost instantaneous re-
lief, and in some cases to effeC- a COM
plete cure. Its action is explained on
the supposition that the intense cold
effects a radical change in the nutrition
of the nerve.
In one dozen cases of poisoning from
the bite of the rattlesnake, iodine proved
curative, given in one or two drop doses
of the tincture every hour, according to
the severity of the case. In one in
stance, where the patient was. swollen
terribly, mottled spots appearing over
the entire body, breathing with great
difficulty, and apparently near death,
four drops of iodine were given every
hour, with entire recovery.
There is nothing new in saying that
lemon juice is good for malaria: or, in
other words, that it is useful to combat
intermittent fever by the victims of that
disease. A French medical journal rec
ommends decoction of the fresh lemon,
that is, lemon cut into slices and boiled
in new earthen pot, making, practically,
lemon tea. 1t is to be given four hours
before the fever, and is said to be as SER
viceable as quinine, without having any
of its ill effects.-Dr. Foote'S HeaLti

KNOWLEDGE OF THE HUMAN BODY.

A BILL To COMPEL PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE TO bh

ryRos THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRBUNEI
ALpAXY Jan. 23-The spirit of modern science
dvells at least n the mind Of one OF the members OF

of jefferson County, desires that "physloiogy ana

and d'rithmetic"-aro necessary but some knowledge
of the human body and of the conditions under
which that body can live in healthy state-these
also should DO impaired to a child, in Mr. Hunts
opinion.
But Mr. Hunt besides synpathzing with the mod
ern scientific spirit is also temperance advocate
Accordingly although lac has introduced lrequir-
ing the principals of public schools add to the
studies mentioned TO their present list he states that
hygiene and physiology shall be taught with
especia reference to the effect of narcotic and
alcoholic poisons on the human svstem.' The bill
also requires that teachers applying for positions in
the public schools shall be examined with reference
10 their knowledge of ph sOlogv and hygiene. The
bill was considered yesterday by the Assembly Com
mittee on Education. Most OF the members OF the
