IMPORTANT
The Artificial Manufacture of 0uinine, A
cording to Hewe,t's Plan.

a ht Il
cording to Hewe!t's Plan.
A remarkable discovery, by which the
price of quinine may be reduced to
something like six cents per ounce, has
been made by Mr.. Cresswell Hcwett.
The synthetical manufacture of quinlne
was first suggested to Mr., Hewett, in
1869, by the late DR.. Mattheson, OF st.
Bartholomew Hospital, while giving
his assistance in a course of expert
ments in connection with apomorphia.
Subsequently, Prof. Parkes, of NetIey,
aided with his advice, and to these gen
tlemen, rather than to himself, Mr.. Cress-
well Hewett modestly explains that the
process is due. The importance of this
discovery is rendered greater by the fac
that while hitherto we have been de
pending for our q~uinine on the cultiva
ton of the ~cinchona tree, from whos'
bark only about two per cent. of goo'
quinine can be extracted, nlnety-eigh
per cent. being yalueless, the drug cal
now be manufactured without limit b,
a very simple process from an articl
which can always be got in abundance
in any part of the world.-London Ian

Ladies' of Rank Who Live and Die without

Changing Their Abode.
The Mosle m looks upon woman as
an inferior being, unfit to advise HIM
or to share in his pleasures and sor-
rows. The higher the rank of the Tunis-
ion lady the less she will be seen in
the streets and baZaars. As a rule
only women of the lowest order, beg
CARS and the wives of the poor country
Bedouins are seen in the streets, and
| even these cover their faces with their
hands whenever they meet a European.
There is a general belief among Euro
| peans that the Koran prescribes that
women should be yelled when they APP
pear in public. This is not fact. The
custom is not a religious duty, but a
fashion. The chamberlain Of an ex-
Grand Vizier gave me some curious in
formation on this subject. The Pasha's
wife was taken sick with the smallpox.
A European physician was called;
guarded by two eunuchs he was per-
mittcd to enter the chamber Of the
lady. Curtains concealed the bed.
The physician insisted upon seeing the
face of the suffering woman, but the
eunuch refused, giving to the doctor 9
description of her face. When the doc.
tor asked to see her tongue, her face
was covered with a cloth in which 8
small hole wa cut; through this open
ing the sick woman showed her tongue
When the physician felt her pulse, he
hands and arms were covered, and tn,

The sweet midsummer eve closed in
and the gray of the night came on.
Strangers from the foreign land OF En-
gland wondered AS they drove home
from their days eXcursioning at the
fancy of the peasants for setting light
to the gOrse everywhere.
All the young Qualtroughs were out
in the grounds with Willie and his
friends. MIR. Qualtrough, s~ray-hcaded
and wise, went out too. Perhaps he
laughed over il all. but there had never
been n midsummer exc he could recol-
lect without the burning of the watch
fires. No, indeed; and, If his children
had shown themselves very advanced
in the common sense of the age and
neglectful of the old customs, he, good
man, would have Just been II degree
unc0mfortably surprised.
They had all had Il merry supper
Manx folk are primitive, and supper is
not yet wholly east into OBLIVION and
then all went out. Two Of the girls
threw light shawls owe their heads
Nessie stuck on a gray felt hat of hel
fathers, and they went gayly round
the house and through the unkcmp
luxurious flower garden; then through
the kitchen garden, where monstrou'
cabbages sheetcd the beds with thei
crumpled outer leaves; where til,
Strawberries blinked rosy from amid
tangle Of long suckers; where alley
were made by trained apple trees
