Hope for women Future.

When we find girls whose average
weekly wages is s5.25, women whose av-
erage age is less than 2S, and of whom
by far the greater number are under Is,
banding themselves together to secure
through their clubs opportunities for
education and Improvement that they
have missed through the exigencies of
their condition; when we find that in
addition to and even before such in
struction in practical things-dress-
making cooking, first aid to the injured
-as would make their work more profit
able or life easier to them, they are
eager to develop their intellectual fac
ulties, and to acquire the amenities of
life; that most Of them care before all
things to grow morally and socially,
using the latter word in its best sense.
then indeed we are led to be hopeful for
the future, even OF social state in
which the toll OF women and children

The Use OF oulnine.

There is no questioning the fact that quiz
nine is q valuable medicine as tonic, anti
periodic and anti-pyretic, and that its dis
covery has greatly helped the cause Of med
icine. Still in majority Of cases its use Is
not altogether satisfactory as it frequently
derangcs the system, producing headache,
dizzy feelings. commissions and sometimes
even paralysis. It was the endeavor OF the
eminent DR.. John Bull of Louisville, KY. to
invent substitute for quinine, something
that would have all the good qualities OF
quinine, and yet be entirely free from Its
evil tende1 1cies. How admirably he sue
ceeded is evidenced by the estimation In
which his remedy Smiths Tonic Syrup il
held by the people; where it is best known
everybody uses it in place of quinine and Il
never fails to give the very best of satis-
faction. In cases of chills and fever Il u
absolutely a safe and certain cure.

BOILING LAKES.

One In California That win Cook IN Egg
in -Four Minutes.
About one hundred miles north of
Oroville, at the foot of old Lassen, there
is boiling lake covering several acres.
The depth of the lake is unknown, but
its entire surface constantly boils like
huge kettle. The degree of heat we do
not know, but we were there about ten
years ago and remember distinctly that
it would scald the skin from the fingers
in very few seconds
Our party agreed that it would boil an
egg in four minutes The smell of sui
phur pervaded the atmosphere about the
lake, and around its borders something
like sulphur could be scraped up in
handfuls This lake is near Hot Springs
valley, at the base of Mount Lassen.
Between it and the mountain there are
perhaps one thousand boiling, bubbling
hot springs, and In tramping about these
springs the soles of persons shoes be-
come uncomfortably warm. The North
Feather river. at the base of Lassen, in
its trickling SHOWS and springs. and in
a clear, cold and beautiful stream but a
few feet wide, flows through this COM
munitv OF hot springs
Some OF the springs bubble up boiling
water within span of the river. Stand
ing in the midst of these springs . pecu-
liar sensation is experienced. At .
thousand places the earth emits . vapor
of smoke, while under the surface there
is jarring, roaring noise As If hum
dreds of steam engines were in opera
tion, and the ominous trembling of the
earth produces feeling OF uncertainty.
A short distance south OF the boiling
lake and near Willow lake, which is
beautiful, cold and clear, there are sew
eral geysers that shoot up streams Of
hot water from five to ten feet in diam
eter and eighteen to twenty feet high.
That is grand and rugged country
about Mount Lassen, presenting every
variety of natural beauty and afording
unlimited field of study to the geologist.
II it is desired to look into the crater Of
an extinct volcano trip to the summit
of Lassen will crafty the wish.
