The ''Third-CIas. Women Of Mexico.

l"eAiSb my LtittIsl
The class of women most TO be pitied
in this country are what we may call
''the third in the social strata. Not.
withstanding the opportunities afforded
them in the public or national schools
they are sadly deficient in book knowl-
edge. The ignorant parents of that
rank have some ambition with regard
to the education OF their sons, but deem
reading writing and embroidery "suff-
cient for girls" and therefore encour-
age their daughters todeyote the greater
part Of their school life TO sewing, en-
broidery aud the manufacture of arti-
fetal howers-the latter accomplish.
ment CD seems like a solemn farce in
this land of flowers. The introduction
of even cheap sewing machines has not
yet emancipated these young girls from
the toll of stitching, braiding and fine
canvas work. The professors" in
some Of the schools occasionally exhibit
a specimen of embroidery that almost
equals Gobelin tapestry, yet one shud-
ders TO think Of the years pupil has
bent over it, injuring her eyes, curving
her spine and dwartng her mind.
When one of these victims of iguor.
ance, or these slaves OF the needle, at
tains womanhood she is weak, inane,
takes no interest in books, is usually
bigoted and superstitious, scarcely I'M
derstands even the geographical posi-.
ton of her country, in fact all beyond
its limits is to her chaos As girls Of
this third class are pitiably helpless their
future necessarily depends upon mar
riage. At % they are broken down by
the pangs and cares of maternity, at 40
they are old women, and if they drag on
until 50 are usually decrepit. Fortu-
nately, however, few Of this rank have
now begun to take Advantage of the
gratuitous course of musical instruction
their daughters can have in the govern
ment conservatory, and the good effects
Of contact with brighter minds is al
ready apparent.

Colorado cscti I'm Chicago
Chicago News !


A citizen of Trinidad, Colo, ar.
rived In Chicago the other day with
car load of Colorado bunch cacti The
cacti were spread out for inspection in
the yard of a Washington boulevard
florist. There were about $50 punches
left. The punches had the appearance
of little mounds, composed of from fifty
TO 200 little greenish balls, studded
thickly with small spines or prickles.
Those prickles are a great protection
in shipping" said the speculator. AT
every depot along the route some one
tries to steal bunch, but they have to
be handled with pitchforks, and no one
was thus provided"
"Did you find much demand for cacti
in Chicago"
"When reached the depot everybody
wanted bunch, and for three or four
days after they were unlOadei they
sold rapidly. When arrived they were
all in blossom, and that is what sold
them. A bunch when in blossom is
covered with about 800 flowers about
the size of silver dollar, and OF dark
reddish hue. At a distance they re-
semble prettily arranged bunch of red
velvet. They are rarity in Chicago.
They will blossom here as readily as in
Colorado and will endure the winter.
Water, given too freely, will kill them.
When not disturbed during the blossom
ing period they will remain in bloom
from April until August. The long dis
lance these vera brought injured the
blossoms, and in three or four days they
fell OIL"
Have you many varieties
81 brought but one with me, but there
are several in Colorado. We have the
prickly pear; the cane cactus, which
grows like a currant bush and out of
which canes are made; tine barrel cactus,
in the shape of a barrel, and one that
grows about twelve feet high and ten
inches in diameter. All Of these have
very fine blossoms. shall endeavor to
bring some of them to Chicago another
year.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has made a
wise departure from too common
practice in his appointment Of resi-
dent Of Montana as governor Of that
territory. There seems 10 be no rea-
sou why the national government
should go so far east as New York to
find governor for this Harvest terri
tory. The practice of sending as gov
ernors Of our territories men unac-
quainted with their needs, aud in fact
not living within thousand miles or
more Of the districts to be governed,
has been recognized on all hands as
the worst possible sort Of policy; aud
yet, in the face Of plank In the plat
form Of his party condemning the
practice. the late executive toward the
close OF his administration appointed
New York man a. governor of Mon
tana. IL Is gratifying TO see that the
reasonable claims Of the inhabitants
Of the territories have In this instance
been recognized by his SUCCESSFUL

Mexico. Floating Garden.
Fam e b Wards Mexico Letter.


The chinampas, or floating gardens,
are generally disappointing at first sight
to the tourist who has read much Of
Prescott. But, although the soil is
mostly solidifed, time was when it
actually fioated, and in that condition
lore crops To this day expanses are
found with four feet of water under
them, which are kept IN place only by
stakes, yet strong enough to sustain
grazing cattle. Further on one meets
wandering strips of verdure, appropri.
ately called ciutas ribbons, drifting
about wherever the current carries
them. We are told that in earlier times
these floating fields, with their cargoes
Of fruit and vegetables, were sometimes
wrecked, like vessels, by humping to-
gether in gales of wind, or by driving
violently ashore; and that robbers and
political refugees have been known to
escape pursuit by diving under the il
lusiye area, to bob up serenely' else
where.
The gardens Of to-day, which literally
supply the markets Of Mexico, are
formed by the division OF what was
once all water, but is now made earth,
into small square patches, intersected
by narrow canals. The patches are SO
tiny that the owner, padding around
the borders in his canoe, can irrigate
his entire estate by tossing water upon
II with gourd.

The Jerusalem chamber, in which the
Bible was revised, is a part of West

with cedar from the Holy Land In the
center of the room stands long, broad
table. 1t was in this chamber that

His Head on His Arm.

The Prince Trepotkine, who is Justly
regarded as one Of the most brilliant
minds in the Russian empire, is the
physical prodigy and monstrosity of an
intelligent man, with his head al the
termination of his right arm and hand
and arm growing out of his neck and
falling down over his breast. Born in
1858, the prince has received thorough
education, and is known throughout the
Russian empire as statesman and poet
of high order.

THE srRINGEScY OF THE rIMFs.

There is general complaint all
over the country that business is dull;
that there is glut of money which is
locked up in the banks; that wages are
falling off, and avenues of employ
ment scarce. This is all true. But 1t
does not by any means forecast a
panic or show that we are on the eve
of one of those periods Of financial de-
preston such as that of 1857 or 1873.
1t is rather a time when men are bus
lily engaged in removing the debris Of
former failures and depressions-a
sort of general house-cleaning, prepar-
atory to the transaction of business on
broader and safer basis and different
basis. The era Of speculation is gone.
The value of Wall street privileges to-
day is less than ever before, showing
that the peculiar system OF gambling
so long prevalent there is on the wane
and that legitimate business is to take
its place.
Moreover, the summer season is al
ways dull in most kinds of business.
Ii is the season which all classes have
now taken as the period of recreation.
There is nothing in the appearance Of
things to show that the depression
and stringency now upon US are alb
normal in character, or that they pre-
sage anything vitality serious to the
industries Of the country.
The law Of slow, steady growth is a
natural law, and must be observed If
We would avoid catsstrophes. This is
as true in business as in physics. Our
own country has transcribed this law
with the inevitable result Of seasons of
feverish activity preceding and fol-
lowing seasons of depression and stag
nation.
This Is true Of our country from the
beginning; true Of Great Britain since
the passage Of the bullion act; true Of
the Netherlands in the middle ages;
true Of the Nanscatic League; true of
France before the Revolution; true, In
fact, OF the European world for GEN.
turtles. Financial or business panics
are no new things. Their reason is
not to be sought so much in causes
originating with the present age as
has been the fashion of political econ
omists 10 assert, but in the broader,
deeper fact that the policy Of the civ
ilized world, the structure of society,
the classification OF men, each is an
tagonistic TO The modern idea of bust
ness. Not till the one be changed
radically will the other work smoothly
and without friction. And until
political economy, as at present
taught, ceases to be the Procrustean
bed upon which is spread modern
prosperity, so long will the antagon-
ism OF the two systems produce irreg-
ularities.
But for US the present business out
look is depressed more in the seeming
than in the reality. A renewed bust
ness activity and prosperity will be
manifested in the fall.

yestigated by Schroeder, in Germany.
He states that one part of sulphuric acid

How Dynamite hKplodss.

The action Of dynamite in exploding
is very simple. II has no preference
at all as TO the direction in which its
force shall be exerted. Its explosive
power depends, as in the case of all
other explosives, on the sudden forma-
ton OF large volume of a gaseous
body, whose immediate recondensation
causes the air TO rush in violently TO ill
up the vacuum formed.

You have heard of the man who didn't cuss because he couldn't give the subject justice. Well this IS our fix in regard to the exposition. When you talk about thing, you want your words to sorter size it up, and make it appear somewhere in the neighborhood of what 1t is; and it makes you feel mean to attempt to talk about thing when you know your words actually belit- tie it, and especially when you are anxious to tell that you have seen something big. Well this is our condition too. It sickens fellow to begin to try to hunt an end to tackle such a thing as the exposition, when he knows that when he has told all he can remember in the best lang uage he can use, it will be a sickly attempt, touching only the edges now and then while the great body of the thing will remain unreyealed. It is a customary reply by those who have been there to questioners as to what they had seen, task mo what l haven't seen,' and ttis is good il- lustration of mans feelings under the overpowering influence of that worlds wonder. The state of Ar. kansas is big territory, and pow erful commonwealth, and is capable of large results when she concen- trates her energies which she did at New Orleans, and made big show within herself. She has thirty seven sisters who did the same thing, and their united energies combined, piled up an immense exhibit; but this to- gether with the government was only the government building. Just be- yond this was another that could three times contain this, with the flag of eyery-enlightened nation float ing above its own contribution to the graAdest show. that the world ever saw or perhaps will ever see

 Having been a reader of the DEM ocRAT for several years, 1 want to say appreciate the reading of the same very much.

Most every farmer is putting the finishing touch to their his cotton planting. Corn is up and looks beautiful. The farmers here have not learned to plant more corn and less cotton. This. the London farm, is being cultivated in 36 acres of cotton and l5 in corn. {. A few per sons here in the bottom have been damaged great deal by high water. Mir. McCalIister, who lived on the river bank, was compelled to move to the hills or float down the river with his house which caved in after wards. Measles have been raging vigorously Tn and around Alma.
