The Bread Winner.

It is conceded that man is the "bread
winner" but how often do we see him
delegating his duties to his already
overburdened wife. and spending all of
his time in the saloon. But a woman
must not be allowed to vote against the
institution that is taking the bread from
her children's mouths, and rObbing her
of all she holds most dear. ''Can q
woman pay enough attention to pOlit-
ical matters to inform herself sufficient
ly to cast an intelligent ballot without
neglecting her home?" 1t seems the
bread winners can and do take time to
read the papers to inform themselves.
and we are informed ''that woman is
weaker physically if not mentally, than
man." Now should she put in more
hours of drudgery than her stronger
husband? If weaker physically she
needs rest, and if mentally she should
study to be fitting mate for her more
intelligent lord. II is ridiculous to as
sert that our American wives and
mothers have not as much intelligence
as many of our foreign born brothers
who are landing ON our shores, many
Of them unable to read. Yet they take
out naturalization papers, march up to
the polls and vote-just as somebody
else tells them to. Also the colOred
man, who is obliged to make his mark
for his signature, marches boldly up
and casts his ballot; but the women of
our beloved country haven't intelli-
gence enough to vote, although hun
dreds and thousands Of them are occu-
plying high positions in our schools and
colleges.

prepare yourselves for that duty in life

that productive toll on the part of wO-

A sillier and more senseless idea never
entered the brain of mortals, whether

her passage through life paid by some
body. Is there any good reason why
she should have an absolutely free

THE USE OF KNOWLEDGE.

What Is to He Achieved by Study and Edu-

What will you do with it? is the ques-
ton that involuntarily arises when one
pauses in the midst of all the sunshine
and roses Of June, to watch ''the glad
girl faces, sweet and fair" that emerge
in long professions from our colleges.
What will you do with tall this
treasure of learning, this patient, quiet
work of years-all that is gathered of
specific information. and all that indie
Unable culture and grace that arise
from well-disciplined faculties? For
the end Of learning is not learning itself,
after all. This knowledge is a means
to a higher end than itself. 1t is porta-
bic and adjustable force, made ready
for application. 1t is the tuning of the
instrumental these years of college
life-but when they are ended. when
the instrument is attuned to its highest
and sweetest tones. there remains the
melody to be played-the end for which
all the tuning was given. What shall
be this melody of life? How great shall
be its compass, how wide its carrying
power, and what of its suggestiveness,
its inspiration to the rank of workers
in the world? What will you do with

IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
How the Aborieines and Half Breeds Treat


When one is sick or has suffered
bodily injury, no matter how grave,
his first thought is to call in an Indian
medicine woman" or ''brujo," as she
is called. This woman will make a
solution of the pressed leaves of some
plant, and will anoint the patient with
this and some oil. and will then sit by
the sufferers couch, burn incense and
sing medicine songs. with all the rela-
tives and friends present to join in the
chorus. The sickness may be con-
sumption. deadly fever. smallpox,
broken limb or any thing else. and
such is the treatment. 1t may be
complaint in which the sick man needs
quiet and rest, but that makes no diff
ference; the noise is still kept up. and
the Indians imagination must be o
powerful one to cause him 10 believe
that he is convalescing when the
remedy is pushing him fast to the
grave.
Not only is this the custom among
the Indians but also among the
'.ladinos." a mixed race of Spaniards
and Indians, occupying better social
position than the mulattO, and who are
very proud of their white blood, and
would be insulted if called Indians. So
it may be regarded as certain that
when an Indian becomes actually i'll.
like the ostrich. he is sure to die. 1t
may be surprise that the natives be-
lieve in the lamentations OF these
medicine women when we know
that Central America was con-
quered by the Spaniards. that the
aboriginal worship was suppressed,
and that the Catholic religion
was propagated both by preaching and
fear OF punishment. But though the
natives OF to-day go to the churches
and claim to be Catholics, they are as
ignorant of any doctrine as they are
of the appearance OF Broadway. Dur
ing the conquest, the country was over
run by priests. and the aborigines be-
came nominal Catholics; but the prop
agators did not any more succeed in
making them actually so than they did
with the dogs and birds of the coun-
try. Even as late as 1865 Spanish
sseaking priests were in religious
charge of Indian towns. preaching to a
people of whose tongue they had no
knowledge and in language which
their hearers could not understand.
An English resident of many years in
the country told me that he once asked
a very prominent clergyman, now .
Bishop in Central America, why the
Indian language was not taught to
young priests whose duty it was to do
the teaching OF the faith to the natives,
who did not understand Spanish. The
reply was ''that such knowledge Of
the Indian tongue would, Of course, be
an advantage. but Oh the whole he did
not think that the Indians needed any
teaching."-N. !. Times.

How Qvinine is Extracted.

The Government of India has pub
lished for the information Of the pub
lie, through the Bulletin of the Royal
Gardens. Kew. some particulars of the
new process Of extracting quinine from
the cinchona bark by means Of oil. BY
the aid of this process. perfected lately
by Mr.. CANINE, it is found possible to
utilize the Calisaya or yellow bark va
riety. and to extract from it the whole
OF its quiniue in a form indistinguish-
able chemically or physically from the
best brands OF European manufacture,
and this so cheaply that not merely
in times like the present of depressed
markets. but ut all periods, it will not
cost the Government more than twen-
ty-five rupees per pound. Should all
the expectations which this important
discovery has awakened be realized. it
is believed that it will lead to the SUBJ
stitutiOn OF India-manufactured quiz
nine for the febrifuge in the hospitals
and dispensaries of India, and as nee
essary consequence to the substitution
of yellow bark for red bark in the Six
kim plantatiOns.-PaN Mall Gazette.
