Women in Texas.


There are @ great many handsome mon in
Texas. The free, outdoor life, with much
horseback riding, gives them gooi forms
clear eyes and complications There is a
great deal Of native intelligence and good
thinking.
The women among the well-to-do classes
appear to live mostly indoors. Even i'll
cities very few are seen on the street or in
the stores They are not as often rosy
checked as the men, but much oftenor
powdered Living with doors and windows
open large part of the year. and in houses
all the year that let i'll the air on every side,
it seems strange that they do not look
frcsher. 1t one place, where the railroad
missed the town q mile, and all the stores
had been taken to the depot, we asked how
they got to the stores through the NAL
oh, We never go; the men so On horse
back and they DO the buying
So, it is not uncommon to see men buying
dress goods, stockings and other articles for
WOmen's wear.
Good help is scarce, and the women usually
do the housekeeping in few rooms, every
one of which has one or more beds in It
Their timidity is SO great that they object t,
two-story houses, because the wind blows.
For recreation many dip snuff and real
stories Old snuG-dippars look snuG-colof,d
Among the poorer classes women work d!
tn fields ut cotton raising. Hoein. al
pick ,nT are done by hand, and what one
man can plant ani pillow, several bands ara
required to hoe and pick. But raising cot
ton is clean farTa work. There are no Lriar.
to scratch, nor juice to stain the hands The
STOPPING is tiresomo, but less so than pick.
ing strawberries Children are valuable
pickcrs, being nimble and of suitable height.
We have seen little girls who had picaei
hundreds of pounds, with sunbonnets ana
luits on in the hot sun, who were not tanned

wages aro high, and many well-to-do women

The Increase of Insanity.

Boston supports $40 insane, says Mr.. +.
B. Sanborn, not % Of whom will recover
This is frigktful! Insanity has in
creased ~ per cent. in q decade ard most
OF the cases are incurable. Whatever the
Individual cause may be, the fact remains
that Uric Acid blood sets the brain On fire,
destroys its tissues, and then comes some
form OF fatal lunacy.
Nothing Is so pitiable as mind diseased.
Most brain trout les begin IN the stomach !;
then If the blood is filed with uric acid,
caused by failure of kidney action, and the
consequent destruction of the blood life
albumen-you have tine fuel and the fame
and brain in full blaze as when one raves,
or In slow combustion, as in milder forms
OF insanity. Rev. E. D. Hopkins, of st.
Johnsbury. Vt, a few years ago was con.
fined in an asylum. He took terrible
cold while aiding in putting out fire in q
neighbours burning house, and for twenty
FIVE years that cold was slowly filing his
blood with uric acid and finally the deadly
work was done. The case looked hopeless
but he happily used Warmers safe cure
and recovered. That was three years ago
and having ridden his blood of all surplus
uric acid. he has remained well until this
day.
II is indeed terrible thing to lose ones
mind, but it is more terrible thing to suf-
fer such a condition when it can be SO
easily prevented.
