When we consider that out of the Isl, 942
pupils in tho schools of British India in ISIS
less than 1901 O0 were girls, we have n fact
which makes it seem rs if this planet, taken
as n whsle, was still intellectually unin-
habitable for women. Then wo must take
farther into view that i'll the presidency of
Bombay the prize books distributed to de-
serving girls in the government aided schools
have such passages rs tho following: "If tho
husband OF Il virtuous woman DO ugly, of
good or bad disposition, diseased, fiendisll,
irasciblc, a drunkard, old, stupid, dumb, blind,
deaf. hot tempered, poor, extremely covet
Gus, n slanderer, c%owardly, pertidious and
immoral, nevertheless she ought to worship
him as god with mind, speech and person.
The wife who gives an angry answer to her
husband will become a village pariah dog:
she will also become a female .jackal, and live
In an uninhabited desert. Tho woman who
speaks unexpectedly to her husband will be
dumb In the next incarnation. Tho woman
who hates her husbands relations will be-
come from birth to birth u muskrat living in
ordure and filth"
We must remember that tho marriages for
which this code is provided are mostly child
marriages. made without the consent of the
bride We must remember that these prize
books are distributed virtually at the expense
of the British government-and how vast is
the abyss of ignorance and degradation i'll
which these things show women as piungcdl
But that abyss comprises tho greater part of
the human race, and the teeming millions of
China, Africa and Oceanica would show moth.

The moral is that any intellectual oppor.
tunities given to woman, even in the most
enlightened countries, arc but exceptional
and recent things. She enters every compc-
tition burdened with the world wido dis.

obstacles with which she has to contend are
not merely the obvious and local ones, but
have tho vast superintendent weight of q

Women in India.

In India lady doctors are now common
and although at first they may have been
somewhat ridiruled by those who could not
appreciate their value, they are fast making
their presence felt for good in almost every
corner of the land. SO far as tho native
women of India arc concerned, it is crafty
ing to note that their success in all branches
of colleges education is progressing to the en-
tire satisfaction of their professors. Not only
have they proved themselves to he generally
well fitted for the ardlous duties attendant
OH medical studies, but they have in some
cases succeeded beyond all ordinary expecta-
ton. Bombay, Madras, the northwest prov
inces and the Punjaub all return lattering
reports on the subject; and when we learn
that a class of female students can average
over 700 marks out of 1000 in Il surgical OK.

case, little can be said against their power of
skill or aptitude for gaining knowledge i'll

medical profession. -Once a Week.

Don't Drink leo Water.

DR.. Hammond protests against the Amcri-

insure temporary comfort. What, then, can
we do! Swallow instead an occasional cruml

drink. Better yet is the old fashioned farm

This is refreshing and cooling when far from
ice cold.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

How To Sit, stnnd and Walk.

Women should stand with chin drawn in,
chest thrown out, and tho weight of the body
on the balls of the feet. The mead and
shoulders should not be thrown back, rs is
commonly believed. In walking the same
position should be used, the length of the
stride being twice that of the foot, heels in
n line and toes thrown out. The weight of
the body should be thrown OH the ball of the
foot, and tho heel and ball should be placed
on the ground at the anne time.
In going up stairs every part of the body
should bear its own weight, and full play
should be given to the chest. Leaning is
graceful and rcStful. In sitting, tho chest
should he held M. and, if ono leans, it should
be from the waist and not from the hips; if
one leans back, let the whole back touch the
chair.-Mal,el Jenness.

of Rice.

Rice is, no doubt, the most extensively used
article of food the world over. Hundreds of
millions of people chiefly subsist on it, and its
consumption is constantly increasing. 1t is
the principal diet of at least onc-third of the
human race, forming the chief food of the
native populations Of India, China, Japan,
Madagascar, many parts of Africa, and in
fact Of almost all Eastern nations. The Bur-
mese and Siamese arc the greatest consumers
of it. A Malay laborer gets through ffty-six
pounds monthly; n Burmese or Siamcso forty.
six pounds i'll the same period. The Eastern
nations also chiefly obtain their beverages
from rice, which is the principal grain dis
titled in Siam, Japan and China. Saki, or
rice beer, is produced i'll Japan to the extent
of l50,0O0,0 900 galloes annually. Although
rico is such a universal article of food, it is
not so nourishing as wheat or some other
grains. More than nine-tenthso of its substance
consists of starch and water; consequently it
forms more fat than muscle.-New York Tel.

Severe for the Model.

Robert Browning has one son, who is both
poet and painter-a meager, inferior looking
man, with none of his fathers brilliancy or
health. Some time ago he endeavored to
make a stir with a realistic statue of Salam-

obliged his model to submit to the dreadful
embraces of a hideous python, which he pro-
cured from the Jardin DIES Plantes. 1t is said

An Honor to the Southeast.

Governor Francis has approved the
Newberry bill, which prohibits cards
and games in saloons. This is the
only important liquor regulation bill
passed at the last session Of the Mis-
souri, legislature, and it is alone due to
the personal popularity and indefatig-
able work of its author, Hon. Frank
r. Newberry of Madison county. that it
passed. Doctor Newberry was one of
the most popular and influential men,
bers of the last house and whatever he
took hold of was invariably successful.
He was pre-eminently the leader of
the Southeast delegation in this house
of representatives. He has served
two terms in the house, and in that
time, has acquired wide experience
and thorough understanding of leg
islation. He is now being urged by
his friends to run for State Senator in
his district at the next election. We
hope he will consent and be elected.
In that position he can be power for
his constituents and an honor to the
entire state. He is an adroit politician,
an honest man and a cultivated gentle
man. TITS such men we delight to
