THE demand Of the women Of the
Equal Rights Association for the abolition
Of the inequalities and incongruitieg OF
the laws relating to the rights OF married
women has some justice. No one denies
that the Laws sometimes bear unjustly
on women But they do not suffer 70 the
extent that the fair, but sometimes ex-
cited, members Of the association
imagine The condItisn Of married
women has been greatly ameliorated
In many states within few
years. Property may be conveyed
to woman In such manner as to consti-
tute what is technically called a separate
property. subject to her own individual
control. Though the law makes an abso-
Lutte gift Of her personal property to her
husband she may prevent this BY an
ante-nuptial contract. This makes the
gift voluntary one because II is within
her own discretion. That she is unaware
Of her rights is the fault Of her instruc-
tors. Many Of the evils which are COM
planned Of by women would be removed or
greatly diminished by proper training
that would impsrt to her better knowl-
edge o. business. Il is no doubt true
that she is often betrayed by her afec
tons into over confidence in the man she
loves, and does not find out her mistake
until her husband has wasted her estate.
But no law which permits wife to con.
troll her own property can well prevent
her from surrendering that control to
her husband. The wife may obtain the
privilege of trading as a single woman
and disposing Of her property by deed
or will, upon application to a
court of competent jurisdiction. such
an application cannot be refused unless
the rights Of others are involved. But
it must be borne in mind that any add.
ton 10 the property rights of women
will necessarily increase her responsible
ties She is not more anxious TO under
take such responsibilities and cares than
thoughtful, intelligent and thoroughly
just men are willing to impose upon her
She Is chary Of increasing her privileges
when she increases her responsibilities
She naturally abhors the one and is not
n great need Of the other.

Artificial Illumination.

Professor Langel, noted scientific man,
read paper in Washington some time
ago on the subject of artificial illumina-
ton, in which he advanced novel idea.
He says that all existing systems in vary
ing degree sacrifice economy because a
very large per cent. of the energy used is
diverted from the production of light
to the useless generation of heat. This
is not only direct waste, but the produc-
ton of heat is positive disadvantage.
He shows how much better nature does
this work i'll the case of the FREELY and Of
the luminous infusoria, which are seen
upon the surface of the sea and are so
numerous, especially in the British Chan
nels, as to hive a practical effect IN light
ing the course of vessels. He says that
the light which distinguishes these in
sects is produced by a chemical. not by a
physical process, and is unattended by
any perceptible development of heat. He
expresses the belief that careful scientific
study of these insects may lead to the dis.
covery Of means by which the same effect
can be artifcially produced upon such a
scale as to have an industrial value.

CONCERNING GOOD COOKERY.
1t Does Not Depend on an Elaborate Out
fit of Utensils.

There is an idea prevalent among IN
skillful cooks that good cookery requires
elaborate and costly apparatus. This is a
mistake according to the Boston Traveller
Appetizing and even delicate dishes can
be prepared with no more complex or ex-
pensive apparatus than an ordinary kit
chen fire and the usual kitchen appliances
The most skilIful chef and the most un.
skilled cottage housewife have one and the
same agent to assist them in the prepare
ton for dinner-heat. Good cookery de-
ponds more upon the observance of GER
tain rules than on the range on which it is
done
Little dishes may be more trouble to
prepare than a plain roast or chops, but
they are generally more appetizing and
are always a desinable addition to the
dinner table. The small details of kit
chen and table sometimes appear trivial
but if we consider how much Of the health
and comfort of household depends upon
kitchen, surely no one can say that the
details are unimportant. If the mistress
of household is armed with thoroughly
practical, not merely superficial knowl-
edge. much expense can be saved by not
purchasing useless utensils which have
only novelty to recommend them.

The secretary of the interior has
approved the proceedings of the

visions of the act of June IL, 1890 for the
sale of their timber and appointed George
W. Cans of Tomahawak, Wis. as super

MINISTER EGAN advises the state
department that the president Of
Chill has expressed to him a most
cordial approval of the propositions
of the recent international conference.
He especially proposed the adoption Of
common silver coin for circulation
in all American republics.
This would, the president thinks,
by making silver the American standard
of value in contradistinction to gold as the
European standard, do more than any
other movement to extend and consolidate
the influence of the United States ard in
crease her commerce with the republics OF
South America.

A Remarkable Tribe.
MINNEAPOLIS Journal.

Ben Wittick, photographer, of Albu-
querque, n. NJ, gives an interesting ac-
count Of the Nayr-Supais of the Supai
canon. Some time ago he went to New
Mexico, settling at Albuquerque. Being
a man of adventurous turn of mind he took
a trip up the canon and located the tribe
in the narrow valIey-Iike enclosure be-
tween the mighty walls of the Supai
canon. Supai is a name which Mr.. Supai
gave the canon himself after having made
trip to the region.
On reaching the canon he found the
Indians in the midst of a marvelously fer
tile valley diminutive as it is. where all
sorts of grain and fruit grow In rank pro-
fusion, where there are splendid climatic
influences nearly the twelve months
through, and where all that tends to build
up physical powers is at hand. He made IN
vestigation, too, into their language, their
rites and ceremonies, their legends and
into all the phases of their present and
past history possible, and he is confirmed
in the belief that they are in no way al
lied to the Aztecs. He says, on the con,
trary, that as far as can be ascertalned,
they are allied to the Wallapai.
The tribe is a most singular one. Their
valley home has on either side great
lodges of rocks running up IN benches
thousands of feet In the valley are groves
of cottonwood trees, and a luxuriant vege-
.tation is seen on all sides There are
about 245 or $50 in the tribe of the Supai.
They live absolutely alone. they do not
intermarry with other tribes, neither do
they mix with the scattering white people
of the regions round ABOUT. When they
are in need of forage or food outside of
that which they can get in their own rich
valley, they sally out, make their trades
or purchases and return home. They are
monogamists, every man having one wife
and no more. They do not live in COM
munal form either, but preserve the fam
lily in its integrity The men are little
above the average height, they are strong
and active, and they are noted for their
skill in climbing the mountains, and in
bringing down the game they need. They
are very shy and suspicious of Indians

A Genuine Stradivarius

There are probably not half dozen
genuine Stradivarius violins in America.
During the last thirty years of his life
Stradivarius depended considerably upon
his assistants and the violins in that
period are of secondary value. His best
works were turned out between 1705 and
Ills. In that period Stradivarius was in
the summit of his power. He fatally ex-
ecuted all the details of his trade, making
the scholes, the bridge, the keys, fitting
the woods together and putting ON the
coat OF varnish. A violin said to have
been made during that best period is in
New York, and the fortunate owner is
Isador Hauser, of 119 East Fifty-fourth
street The violin is of the largest size,
perfect in shape and d beautiful red color.
The varnish is intact and bright, save
where the chins of players have rested upon
it. There is not a crack in the instrument,
SIS preservation being as coz plete as if it
had been made yesterday. The tone pro-
duced from it is of excellent qualit.y. The
value of such an instrument is hard to
fix. A Sradivaruis made during the same
period was sold in Paris last year for Sl0,-
0OO The maker in all probability, got no
more than $50 for it.

an Umpire's Peril.

The lot of the umpire of an amateur
base ball game is usually very unh ppy
and likewise dangerous one, says the the
Buffalo Courier. In a contest recently
played in town not many miles from
Buffalo, between the home team and a
visiting club. the umpire was compelled
to decide several close decisions against
the local nine, ard though the crowd be
came greatly excited, no harm befell the
autrocat of the diamond up to the last
half of the ninth inning. The score at
that juncture was to s In favor of the
visitors, with the home team at bat. The
first man up got base on balls, the second
singled, and sacrifice advanced each a
base.
A repetition of the four-balI act filed
the bags. The next two batters famed
out. to the chagrin of the crowd, who be-
gan to think that the umpire intended to
rob the home club of the game. The eli
max was reached when the third man had
two strikes and three balls called on him.
The excitement was at fever heat, for the
next ball pitched meant defeat or victory.

In 1887 the first practical telegraph was
worked IN England, after crude attempt
made In 1885, on a line of thirteen miles
between Paddington and Drayton. In
1874 a telegraph line was opened between
Washington and Baltimore. In 1850 a
copper wire insulated in gutta percha was
submerged between Dover and Calais. and
the first submarine telegraph WAS laid by
the late I. r. Champion.
There are now 942 submarine cables. ex-
