Injustice of Newspapers.

The press is always turning up the
whites of its hundred eyes in sorrow
and amazement at the frailty Of women,
the littleness Of their thoughts and
aims. the usefulness OF what they read
and write and do. Yet what sort OF
pattern does the press hold up for wo-
mems emulation? The woman who Is
pretty and vain, or notorious and
vicious in an interesting way. may
quickly rise to some kind Of celebrity,
for journalists build newspaper columns
beneath her, and raise her On a shaky
pedestal of glory. But the good wo-
men who win fame, win It more slowly,
and without assistance from the fourth
estate. The women who inaugurate.
manage and support q hundred schemes
of charity and good, win the reward OF
their own consciences merely. The
voice of the world says nothing to them
in commentator or encouragement.
The noble deeds that are done by wo-
men, are done in silence and obscurity.
How many works which need publicity
to secure success can get gratuitously
so much as a cold notice in small type
in any daily? Think OF the wasted
time OF the reporters. correspondents
and compositors, the expense Of cable

accomplishment OF something evil or

Some Advice Which Lady Readers Might
Follow to Advantage.
The best means of preserving the
complexion is first to avoid care and
worry, anxiety and fretfulness, which
are detrimental to the complexion.
Try to sleep well, and be careful Of
diet. and meet the world as it comes.
Cold atmosphere and plenty of cold
water are good tones, excepting in
cases of exceedingly delicate people.
Protect your faces from strong winds
by wearing thick vail until the skin
becomes somewhat hardened to the
cold.
Some good writer's and prominent
physicians oppose the use of cold
water and advise hot water. II must
say i am opposed to heat in any form
for the face" says a lady who has
made dermatology a study. an6 who
has a most beautiful complexion OF
her own to show for her care and
study. For example. you wash your
face on rising in the morning with hot
water, which is more agreeable in its
results if you are compelled to 60 out

hot water it feels drawn and soft il

you want is not a soft but hard skin,
firm but smooth and velvety-looking.

If people would make a study ct
dermatology and pay more attention
to physiological laws, there would
probably be more good, healthy conn

THE SOUTHERN VOTE.
An Evil Which Must He Remedied by the
Incoming Administration.

An Evil Which Must He Remedied by tho
Incoming Administration.
In the eight cotton aud Gulf States
of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, GeOr-
gia Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina and Texas the Republicans
cast 45,S40 votes less than in 1884,
when enormous numbers OF Republican
votes were suppressed, while the Dem
ocrats increased their totals $4,000.
This simple statement of a Republican
loss in votes with an increase of II per
cent. in Republican population is suffi-
cient evidence that fraud and intimi-
dation controlled the result; but when
the fignres are studied more closely
the demonstration is so plain that it
can not be disputed. The following
table gives the total number of white
and colored voters in the States named
above in 1880, the vote then returned
as cast by each party, the difference
between the actual and possible Dem
ocratic white vote and the amount of
the suppressed colored Republican
vote. Similar figures are also given
for 1884 and 1888. As the population
has increased about % per cent. since
1880, II per cent is added to tho
figures for that year to ascertain the
actual number of votes in 1884, and II
to those to give that for 1888:

ABOUT SNAKE POISON.

Strychnine and Digitalis,
From the time of Fontana, the first
writer on the subject, Q167l, to the
present, multitude of theories have
been preached as to the composition
and nature of snake poison. This be-
ing the age of microbes it was natural
that its lethal qualities should be as
cribed to the presence of microscopic
organisms theory, however, which
has been disproved by actual expert
ment. The venom of the cob~a dica-
pello and the fer de lance, inclosed in
sterilized vessel and exposed for
three hours to a temperature of 125
degrees Centigrade, still retains its
peculiar properties. 1t is effective
even when mixed with alcohol or am
monia, and resists the action of the
most powerful acids, such as caustic
potash and nitrate of silver. Snake
venom in its natural state, though
somewhat like ordinary saliva, is less
fluid and more gummy, its color vary
ing from amber to clear yellow. It
dries rapidly on exposure to the air,
when, while retaining its natural color,
it becomes CLASSY and shining. The
latest authority on its chemical COM
position is NJ. Armand Gautier. After
analyzing many specimens he has come
to the conclusion that the active prin-
ciple of all snake venom is an animal
alkoloid analogous to that which is
found in purifying body; and how
deadly that is, many an unfortunate
surgeon, accidentally inoculated while
making an autopsy, has found to
his cost. The venom is neither a
virus nor a ferment. 1t is q septic
principle like strychnine and digitalis.
and, like strychnine and digitalis it
acts always in the same way, other
things being equal. Hence, (assuming
the correctness of Mr.. Gautier's theory
the venom Of the English viper and
the cobra are practically identical,
the bite of the latter being more fatal
simply because nature has provided
him with greater abundance of septic
matter. According 10 DR.. Weir Nit
chell and other authorities the glands
of the viper contains 10 centigrammes
of venom, those of the rattlesnake
from 4S to 81 centigrammes, of the
Indian maya 1.30 grammes. The viru-
lence of the venom, or rather the vigor
of the serpent, is. moreover. modified
by climate and temperature. In the
higher parts of Martinique. for in
instance, dangerous and much less fire.
quent than in valleys and plains. The
greater freshness of mountain air low
ers the snake vitality, and though his
store of venom may be the same, he
strikes his enemy or his prey with di-
minished energy. Snakes only enjoy
the fullness of their powers in low lati-
tudes. Cold stupefies them. The
European viper becomes torpid in win
ter, and menagerie snakes are reused
with difficulty from their habitual
languor. On the other hand, cold
blooded animals-mollusks, fishes,
frogs, turtles. and snakes themselves
are impervious 10 the poison which the
latter secrete. The only warm-blooded
creatures proof against it are pigs, an
immunity which they owe to the thick.
ness of their adipose tissue. -Spectdtor.

ted from the above table the figures
show that in the remaining seven
States out of a total possible col
ored Republican vote of 9O9, 6H
only 287, 25S were cast, leaving short
age of 622,3 S9. In other words, of the
total number Of Republican voters in
those seven States only 81 per cent
cast their votes or had them counted.
An examination of these statistics
shows phenomenon unknown in the
history of free suffrage-a diminish
ing vote and an increasing population.
Bearing in mind the fact that the COLI
ored men of the South are substantial
ly all Republicans, and that the places
of the scanty few who may not be SO
are more than made good by whites.
it will be seen that in 1888 the Repub-
licans cast but little more than a
third of their total possible vote.
While they increased IL per cent. in

contain any thing as curious as
this? The white vote Is equal

seems to have kept the Democrats
from the polls. Only 50 per cent. Of
them took the trouble to vote. Have
they lost all interest in National cleo
tons? Is it not that they know that
whether they 60 or not the matter will
be attended to. and that the State they
live in will be sure to cast her accus-
toned majority or more for the DEM

say that this was quite natural and
quite honest Let US have no more
such nonsense. Since the colored men
of these States had nobody to fight for
them. and would not fight for them
selves, over half million of them were
deprived of their votes. Since the Dem
ocrats know that the pins were NIL set
up and that every thing would go
right any way, over half a million of
them staid at home. This is how it
came to be that the Republicans in the
Northern and border States, where
