DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in the
July Atlantic Monthly, has a paper in
which tine woman question figures to
some extent. THE usually genial doc
tor is in q mood of unwonted severity
toward women doctors, or one of his
characters is, for perhaps he himself
would disclaim the sentiment. 'Doc-
tors and side saddles" we are told,
"don't seem to me to 60 together"
The argument against them winds up
with this sharp saying: ''Charlatanism
always hobbies on two crutches, the
tattle of women and the certificates Of
clergymen." This is caustic, but clev-
er, and there is a basis OF truth in the
latter portion OF it, that few who read
the advertisements mthe papers Of the
day will fail to recognize.

Senator Miller of New York, in q II

Senator Miller of New York, in a re-
cent interview, advocates rigid econo~
my in theState finances, and says: II
have never witnessed such financial
distress among the farmers of the
State as that Of the present day. The
price of farm produce is astonishing
~ low. Cheese in this country is sell
ling at only six cent a pound and but
ter at fifteen cents. This is another
item to sustain the theory Of our pro-
duction Of everything. The products
OF the farm are admitted to be low,
but they are high enough after they
have passed through the hands of the
tt'tmiddlemen" and reach theconsumer.
There seems to be no practicable way
ofbringing farmers and consumers into
closer relations for the mutual bene-
fit OF both.

California fruit may be said to be
plentiful in the northwest, but every
body thinks the prices are too high.
This impression comes from ignorance
of the fact that the fruit delears have
to pay 5000 per car from California
to Chicago. Californians are trying to
get this rate reduced on half which
would benefit producers, dealers and
consumers. The trade would soon be
doubled to the advantage OF all con.
cerned.

. Daring Exploi. Of Cowboys.

A traveller on the Northern Pacific reports
the following thrilling incident: When the
train stopped at Bietlora, Montana, the
headquarters of the Marquis de Mores and
Theodore Roosevelt, some ten or a dozen
cowboys, mounted on their typical horses
Of the plains, were cutting all kinds ofcapers
and giving a sort Of free show, for the edit
cation and amusement OF the citizens and
passengers. They were putting the horses
/ through reckless evolutions and r1aneuyers,
giving an exhibition Of equestrianis1n that
/ astonished the tenderfeet on board the
train. The boys had just come in from
roundup, and were flush with money and
considerably flushed with Dakota tangIe-

DR.. Shrady sent the Medical Record OF

Gen. Grants condition:
The progress OF the disease from which
Gen. Grant is suffering, barring accidental
dition OF the patient with what it was q
month ago, the changes which have taken
place can be appreciated. Taking this
period OF time into consideration, it
can be said that the swelling under
the angle OF the lower jaw on the right side
has increased and become harder and more
deeply fixed. It has shown 81 tendency to
progress in q direction downward and for
ward upon the right side OF the neck, and
the infiltration extending into the nejshbor.
ing glandular structures. The pains in these
parts although fortunately not frequent
nor severe, have a significance which can.
not be ignored. The liberation OF the right
side Of the base Of the tongue has become
coarser and more irregular, although it's SUI
perficial area has not perceptibly Increased.
This is the seat Of pain occasionally swal-
lowing, and when certain examinations OF
the throat are made. The destructive pro-
cess on the right side OF the avua is appar-
emily uuiescent, although q new portion OF
the marg in OF the palatal curtain is showing
8, tendency to break down. The voice has
been reduced to a whisper, due partly
to the infiammatory Involvement OF the
vocal cords and partly to the nervous
atony OF the latter. There is some improve
1nent Of the general strength the appetite is
unchanged ,and the usual amount ofnourish-
ment is taken. The removal to Mt. Nc
Oregon has so far proved beneficial. 1t has
enabled the patient to recover the lost
ground and thus, in a measure, has count
er-balanced the effects OF lis local nlaiady.

The evidence is indisputable that interest
in religion is not on the decline in this
country. For month past most remarka-
BILE revival has been going on in old Trinity
Church, New York, that has attracted every
day IN business hours, from all the allure
ments OF speculation, the men of Wall
street, who have in hundreds bowed the
head and bent the knee to power divinely
greater than the MammOn that was sup
posed to stand first in their affections The
preacher who has grown good wheat in that
soil supposed to produce only tares has
been offered by one of the millionaires of
New York an annual salary of $1,000 to
continue his ministrations, but he has de-
clined the money This incident stands
not alone as proof that below the
upper crust of superficial Indifference
there is a spring of religious feeling
that needs only to be tapped by the
hand of a master, to flow as purely
as did the waters of life in the days
of the Patriarchs. Many have supposed
that the work of Ingersoll has finally put
religion on the run, but after all that evil
propaganda of profane humor has been
powerful only as literary curiosity, and
its effects are as fleeing as those Of any
other mere amusement that is favored

Chile Girls in a Novel Vocation.

The street-car managers of Chile have
added another occupation to the list of
those In which women may engage, and
use them as conductors upon their cars.
The experiment was first tried during the
recent war with Peru when all the alb e.
bodied men were sent to the army, and
proved so successful that the practice of
their employment has become permanent,
to the advantage, it is said, of the compa-
MES, the women and the public. 1t is very
| odd to see a woman with a bell-punch TAX
ing up fares, and the first impression is not
favorable, but a stranger becomes accus-
toned to this as to all other novelties, and
concludes that it is not such bad idea
after all.
The Chilean is as rough an individual as
exists; he is naughty, arrogant, imperti-
nent and abusive. There is more intem-
perance in Chile than in any other of the
South American States, and consequently
more auarrels, fights and murders but it
is said that tie female conductors are sell
dom disturbed or interfered with in the dis
charge of their duties, and when they are
the rule is to call policeman, who stands
at every corner, to eject the obstreperous
passengers.
The conductors, or conductoresses, are
usually young, and sometimes quite pretty,
being commonly of the mixed race-of
Spanish and Indian blood They wear a
neat uniform of blue flannel with a iaunty
Panama hat and a many pocketed white
pinafore reaching from the breast to the
ankles, and trimmed with dainty frills. In
these pockets they carry small change and
tickets, while hanging to strap over their
shoulders is little portmanteau or shop
ping bag, in which is a lunch, a pocket
handkerchief and:: surplus money and tick
cts. Each passenger, when paying his fare,
receives yellow paper ticket, numbered,
which he is expected to destroy.
The girls are charged with so many tick
cts, and when they return to headquarters
they are expected to return money for all
that are missing any deficit being deducted
from their wages, which are $25 a month.
As an additional check upon dishonesty
spoilers are placed along the line, who hop
upon the car as it passes, count the passen-
gers, write the number down in a memor-
andum book, and jump off again. A few
blocks further on another spotter repeats
the Job, and these books are compared by
the chief inspectors to see that the returns
of the conductors correspond.
The greatest annoyance to the girls is
from the young Washers, who follow the
cars carrying the pretty ones, and chat
with them on the platform. These fellows
are called mosquitoes here because they
buzz aud hop and poster people so. Not
long ago comic paper in Valparaiso pub
lished a cartoon showing a street-car sur
rounded by insects, which bore the faces
of young men about town. Some of the
fashionable dudes who obtained this no
toriety were so chaffed at the clubs by
their companions that they retired into
seclusion for time until their modification
subsidized. -[Correspondence of the Chicago
Tribune.

HIS NOT AN EARTHLY KINGDOM.
We've followed Thee through good report and
Across the hills and dales of Gallilee;
Our hearts in awe and wonder saw Thee still
The maddened storm-swept sea.
We saw Thee calm amidst the mighty throng
Which, moved by reverence or tiendsh hate
Had crowned Thee King, or hurried Thee along
To blasphemeI's fate.
We saw Thee burst the portals of the tomb
Where Lazarus was laid with tender care;
We saw Thee with Thy smile dispel the gloom
That long had rested there.
We follow not for loaves and fishes; still
We know Thou contest of the kingly line;
And thousands would obey Thy royal will
Whose hearts are wholly thine.
And we had hoped through all these passing
days,
Tosee Thy kingdom come in might and power:
But we nave hoped in vain, and Ter our ways
The clouds still darkly lower.
But sometimes when we look into Thy face.
And see Thy heart oppressed with grief and
care,
We think no earthly crown could ever grace
That brow diviney fair
And though there be no kingdom, crown nor
throne;
Though we still live mid unavailiug strife,
We cannot leave Thee, for Thou hast alone
Words of eternal life.
