Moorish Women.

The lot of the female slave is said to
DC miserable. From Il European point
of view it is doubtless so; but that fe-
male delicacy which is one of the char
acteristics of civilization is little UNDER
stood in any Moslem, savage. or bar
barous community. Nor is the life of
such a wonlan without its alienation.
Any slave who bears 4 child to her
master is-she as well as the child-cn-
titled to freedom, and very frequently
a rich Moslem will free his serfs with
out any recompense except that good
conscience which is not astranger even
to the Moorish breast. In brief, were
slavery in Morocco har>her than it is it
would have a better chance of being
crushed. But it is only II brick in
the entire system which prevails in the
realm of FL Gharb. There is in that
benighted land one will aionc-that of
Emir-al-Mumcin, the absolute Ruler
of True Believers" The lives, proper
ty. and happiness of every being in the
Empire are at the beck of the Sultan.
The townsman is opposed to the Bal
shaw it he cannot manage to buy, or
by right or trick obtain. a Christian
protection the villagers by their
sheiks. and all of them by his Shercc-
fan majesty. The wives of the richest
Moor are as much his slaves as the
black men and women who are bearing
his water-jars or hoeing his maize
fields; only, while there is a chance for
the slave to get her freedom, to bask in
sunshine and enjoy the din of tho mar
ket-place, there is no hope of any such
future for the Princess, who idles her
life away in the narrow rooms OF the
palace at Fee, Mekenez, or Morocco.

How to Quiet a Baby.

A mother with a wakeful babe
writes: Il used all my arts of sooth-
ing and persuading, but there he sat
and laughed and cooed, and watched
the light and the shadows until II
o'clock came and went and IL was
just at hand. Something must be
done, and l could think of nothing,
unless possibly a wet cloth on the head
might have u soothing effect; at least
it would do no harm to try. l took a
piece of cantor flannel. large enough
when doubled to cover the whole head,
and wrung it rather dry out of warm
water, then put it closely over the ba-
by's head SO us to both ears and
eyes. The effect was wonderful!
There was a brief struggle, then perfect
quiet, and in less than five minutes the
little fellow was sound asleep. Since
then l have tried it again and again,
and always with the same quick result.
1t is Il simple remedy for sleeplessness
and well worth knowing and trying.

Too True.

Yankton Press and DakOtan.
There is one fact which alone should
induce every tax payer in the south half
of Dakota to favor and industriously Ia
Dor for the division of Dakota on the 10th
parallel. 1t is this: The Northern Pa
cific railroad corporation is today the
controlling element in our territory. 1t
is a power with WHICH individuals and
communities cannot successfully cope.
1t controls our legislation today and will
continue to control it, to the disadvan-
tage of the people and to its own advan
tage. There is nothing of importance
which this corporation covets that does
not fall into its clutches. Owning a half
interest IN nearly one quarter Of, the soil
Of our territory, it pays no taxes for the
maintenance of ourgovernment and our
institutions. While it absolutely dictates
Legislation it looks to the wealthy south
to. pay the expenses Of our common ex-
istence. For this reason it opposes divi.
sion. 1t needs our end of the territory
for purposes Of revenue. The public has
not yet forgotten how the agents of this
corporation, during the legislative ses.
sion of 1883, inserted in a railroad bill,
after it had passed both houses of the
legislature, a clause %exempting all rail
road lands in the territory from taxation
and how their tool, Gov. Ordway, signed
the bill with full knowledge of the fraud.
