SORRY FOR HER.

The Woman's World" new pa
per devoted TO woman's rights, reaches
us. The editor is woman, believes in
woman's rights and other things too
numerous to mention. Among other
cranky notions advocated is the posi-
biliiy of eternal life on this earth,
which Is TO be attained finally by
lengtheIing out the average of human
life until perfect health and perpetual
youth are attained. Such talk is on
par with that of the majority of the
great female political teachers. God
is the author OF this human life and
this earth, and one lie exactly adapted
TO the other. But leaving God out of
the question. it is susceptible Of math-
emaiical demonstration that could any
power lengthen the average of human
existence but ten years, this earth
would soon become so crowded with
humanity that the suffering from ordi-
nary pestIlence and disease. from
Drouth and famine all combined would
be faint as compared to the horrors
that would come of overcrosding
Had the average of human existence
been fifty years this earth thousands OF
wears ago would have been what no
pen can describe. We must die to
give place to those who are crowding
on after Us, die in order to reach The

best that it i so. None but crank-
would talk OF desiring to live forever

Bookbinding IN America is almost exclu-

binders are the leaders OF the craft, how
ever, and most OF the inventions and in
nova.ions in the art have come from the
famous class Of Lcokbinders in the latter half
OF the last century The supremacy of
English binding was due largely to the work
of Roger Payne, q man highly gifted with

The Conquest Of Burmah.

From Demorest's Monthly for january
The English have annexed Burmah
to their Eastern empire. They had
no real grievance, but from COM
mercial point of view it was desira-
BILE that that potentially rich empire
should be open to commerce, so they
picked a quarrel with King Thebaw,
set their armies in motion, and IN a
few weeks time the work was done.
British commanders seem to have a
knack for speedily overcoming the
resistance of semi-barbarous nations.
The French are not so lucky, as is
shown by their bloody and costly
wars in Madagascar and Cochin
China, and the only serious check
the English havereceived for a CELL
fury past was in the Soudan. Their
repulse by the Beers can hardly be
put in the same category, as the lat
ter were of the Caucasian race, ant
had the Tories been in power in En-,
gland instead of the Liberals, thu
Beers would have been overcome il
time. The annexation Of Burmah t.
the British crown will add greatly
to the trade of England, for the coun
tries OH its borders are rich and pros
porous, and then the Irrawaddy, thu
mouth of which is in its territory, il
one of the great rivers of Asia, ant
penetrates far into the interior o
that continent.

Curing HydrophObia.

From Dcmorcst's Monthly for January
NJ. Pasteur, the famous French
savant, has really succeeded in cur
ing several cases Of hydrophobia.
lie did so by using sixty different
rabbits. The method was to impreg-
nate one rabbit with the virus Of n.y.
drophobia. When the spinal column
was saturated with the poison, a por-
ton was taken TO inoculate still an
other rabbit, and so OH to the end of
the sixty. The final effect was TO re-
duce the strength of the poison, which
could then be used to prevent hydro
phobia, as the cow-pox is used to
foresiall smallpox. The scientific
world halls NJ. Pasteur's successful
treatment of this dread disease with
loud applause, not merely because of
the fearful suflerings it will allay on
the part of those bitten by mad dogs,
but because other apparently inctIra-
BILE diseases may be treated with
equal success by the same methods.
Cancer, for instance, is the dread of
physicians. All they can do is TO re-
move the cancerous matter, which is
sure to return again. But no means
has as yet been devised to check tho
morbid growth. 1t will of course be
done some day and by some very
simple process, but so far, science
and medical skill offer no hope to the
sufferers by this most dreadful form
' of disease.
