cases OF "rervous prostratlon" and gen
eral breaking-down early in life. II this
is true, ie II In any way due 70 the higher
education, or even to such education as
is obtained In high schoolsr We
think not Women break down
from worry, from the increasing
complications OF modern housekeep-
ing, from the incessant demands OF
society, Just as men break down from
overwork. The natural functions Of
women In the economy OF the race re-
ouire more repose than men require.
Continual excitement and multitude of
cares sap their vitality. Rarely, we
fancy, does intellectual activity do this.
In countries where women's minds are
never stirred at all, In Egypt, In Mexico,
in Turkey, 10 tropical countries gem
orally, women lose beauty and attractive
ness very early--they are old women at
twenty-five or twenty-five. The English
women as a rule gain In beauty and do
not lose their endurance In middle life.
We think 1t will be found that more Of
the American women who are frivolous,
unthinking, do not read, or study, or
"improve their minds" break down with
nervous diseases than women who are in
tellectual. II is true that girl who at
tempts TO keep up severe studies in q
high school or college and at the same
time attends to all the demands OF society,
her beaux, mingles In company, and keeps
up a round Of gayety, Is apt to break
down. II is not the study which does 1t
In nine cases out Of ten. Young men
who keep closely to their books
and do not exercise grow narrow
nh nj 1rInF NIL Nfn
habits, and fail In the midst
Of collegiate study. Girls living the
same life would come TO the same end
But girl IN fine health, who Is prudent
OF her physical powers, is no more likely
to come TO grief In mental discipline
than boy. We do not at all mean to
say that the sexes are equal In point of
endurance, or that the woman has not
well-dehned limitations in her activity In
this world. But education In itself, with
sane care of the health, is never in
furious In some cases excessive mental
application, with excessive physical ex-
ertion, will break down men and women.
We are speaking, however, OF a general
rule. We believe that 1t is true that girls
well matured and senslbly brought
up can pursue the higher education with
as little physical injury as boys. And OF
course by education we mean healthy
mental discipline, not examining to take
prizes and pass ingeniouslY difficult ex-
amlnations. And also OF course the eud
and purpose of woman's life is to be
always kept in view. She is not at the
most susceptible age to go against her
nature on any theory. This discussion
might easily run into a physiological in
QUESTION. But all we care TO say to-day
is in answer to DR., Moore that II nervous
diseases In America are increasing, il Is
not due to higher education Of women,
to better knowledge Of the laws Of their
own minds and bodies.

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, Sept. 5.-The newspapers
here are having some fun over an episode
that can be briefly explained as follows
The Austin Call stated that a Waco
lawyer at the Galveston convention had
made the remark that the opinion of
either OF the newspapers in Waco could
be purchased for dime. The Examiner
took this up and said it did not believe
that any Waco lawyer made such a re-
mark. Thereupon the Call published the
following:
Certainly, the Call, through no feeling NJ
bitterness, or otherwise would wilfully mis-.
present anyone, The Calrs informant is mr.:
acquainted with the gentleman who made the
obnoxious remark, but upon inauirv NJ IN
time was told that his name WAS Prather. and
.nat ne was an attorney by profession, and
rs o., 1I AGO IL there is such e. nte-
is the author of the offensive assertion. The

Inc Examiner this morning saws it sent

the Calls article and asked him what he
nad TO say about it. He answered:
II VIII neither deny nor affirm in tho matter 7

The cable reports that DR.. Withers
Mo1ra in On address before the British
Medical association attacked vigorously
the higher education OF women, and Gre
ated much surprise by citing American
experience as strongly In support OF his
Views. Speaking OF the disastrous physi-
cal effects OF higher education on Amerl-
can women, he quoted his authority as
follows; "li these causes should con
tinue for the next half century to Increase
In the same rattle as they nave for the
last titty years, 1t requires no prophet
TO toretell that the women who
are to be the mothers In our
republic must be drawn from transatlan-
lie homes.n There Ia hardly an Ameri.
can physician, according 10 DR.. Withers
Moore, who has specially treated the dis.
eases OF women, who does not corrobo-
rate these words.
This wholesale statement was received
as II should have been, with lncreduhty.
Tne question Is not altogether simple
one, and " may be said that the higher
education OF women has not vet became

sound, vigorous, well-trained mind should
have reflex action towards max

neglected without cost 10 the

within the last quarter OF n century---the
men are OF better fgures and more robust

in villages and cities where the cooking
has improved and there are Improved
methods OF living.

Home Notes

1t will not be long until the Texas g.
Pacific will be reorganized and pass out
of the hands of receiver, A sufficient
portion OF the bonds are now deposited,
and the Wistar-Fleming plan will be car
ried out. BY this plan the Missouri Pa
ciac regains control of the Texas & Pa
ciic, and 1t viii be many years
before it again passes out of its hands, II
1t is not in fact completely absorbed In a
short time. The fact OF the adoption Of
this new plan has caused the stoppage of
further extensions If the Missouri Pacific,
particularly that from Greenville to Dial.
las, Waco or HillsboIo, and with the
Texas & Pacific IN the system Gould has
no earthly need for that road. The change,
1t is said, will benefit Fort Worth, and it
is hoped 1t is so.
The coming of the Central to Fort
Worth, brought about by the building of
the Fort Worth & New Orleans, has been
a great thing for our city. Cities and
towns that never knew our merchants be-
fore, and which traded exclusively with
Dallas and Houston, have become ac-
quainted with the young giant, and the
wares handled by our merchants are
seen In the stores of cities as far south as
Bryan and Navasota. The Wright-C Carter
crackers are found right at Houston's
doors, while general merchandise Of all
descriptions bearing the marks of Fort
Worth merchants can be found in Waxa-
hachie, Garrett, Ennis, Hockey, Bre-
mond, Corsicana and other points. We

not intruding to call the attention of the

which is of vital Importance to them,
through the columns OF said paper
knowing full well that the matter will re.
celve its hearty support Under the
present statutes OF the state, which read
as follows; All towns and cities having
a certain population at the last United
States census are entitled to the follow
ing exemptions;
Article S0l4,-Section 10. In cities and
towns having population of 1900 or more
inhabitants according TO the preceding
United States census, the active members
OF organized fire companies not to exceed
twenty TO each one thousand of such in
habitants shall be exempt from Jury
duty.
Art, S0l5. II there be more than one or
ganized tire company in such town or
city the whole number OF exemptions
provided for under subdivision 10, OF the
preceding article shall be equally divided
between such companies.
Art. S0l6. Before such exemption of
any member OF such Are company shall be
made available, the members so to be ex-
empted shall be selected by their re-
spectlve companies, and their names
shall be handed In 10 the clerks of the
district and county courts, respectively,
by the chief Of the fire department OF such
city or town, or In case there bs no such

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

The farmers institute appointed to be
held in this city January IL and Is, will
be addressed by the following institute
workers: Roberts, Cheever, Fargo, Olds.
Northrup and True The success of the
institute rests, of course, largely upon the
farmers of this locality, and all will be
benefited in the same proportion, as they
make themselves a part of the work.
Farmers and their wives should prepare
brief, practical papers upon some special
line of farm industry, CT of home and its
surroundings, that will have tendency
to call forth questions and discussions.
Such papers should not exceed twenty
minutes in length, with about three
topics for each session. Through such
agencies the institute can be easily made
both interesting and profitable.
