Medical Aid In India.

Thirty English doctresses are at work
in British India treating the poor in and
around Bombay. The medical college,
which cost the home government e213,-
600, contains 22O pupils, 100000 women
having received relief last year. Lady
Dufferin, who is interested in the work,
says in an appeal to the English for aid
that millions of mothers and children
remain without any medical help. The
opinion prevails that the movement
should be encouraged by support, as
only woman doctor could reach the
native patients, who are not allowed to
see a male doctor, and at most can only
put their arms out of a screened window
long enough to have the pulse counted.

ALL FOR TEXAS.

The STATESMAN may at times prod
Galveston for the poor use it has
made of its monopoly of alleged deep
water, but at heart it wishes that port
and every point on the coast where
ever an attempt has been made to
get deep water, the completest sue
cess. Every such port means profit
for Texas-and in the success of
Texas lies the prosperity Of us all.
So it is we are very much of the opin-
ion of the Express when it says:
"The Austin STATESMAN remarks
that it may not be good news to Gal
weston, but deep port and a deep
water harbor will be had at Velasco
by the LIST of next January. The
failure of the Boston firm, in which
the Brazos Dock company was sup
posed to be involved, has caused
considerable merriment among
men and papers that are in
terested in the Galveston scheme.
The Brazos people are not discour-
aged. The work has not stopped a
moment, and deep water will be had
if it is physical possibility. Speak
ing as representative and, in one
sense, an exponent of Arkansas Pass,
The Express is free to say that it will
be mighty glad to see thirty feet OF
water at the mouth OF the Brazos.
A port at any point on the Texas
coast will help other points. 1t is our
desire to demonstrate that despite the
tides and the sand-bars, harbor
capable of floating the navies OF the
world is entirely a possibility on the
Texas coast. After that is accom-
plished, national aid will be easily OBJ
tanned, not from the treasury, but
from capitalists who are willing to
put their money where six per cent
upon the investment will be returned"

1T SEEMS TIME FOR ACTION.

Select the most doubling Thomas in
Austin Gf indeed any OF that breed
still can be found here), put him in a
buggy aud ride him along the princi-
pal streets of our city today: and then
demand of him whether or not new
spirit of enterprise is abroad in our
midst. Two hundred ana more day
laborers with pillow and scoop, with
pick and shovel, with tie and iron,
laying two street car tracks with all
the rapidity that burning energy can
command. 1t is not individuals who
are doing this work of perfecting two
street Car systems in Austin; but they
are two powerful corporations with
hundreds of thousands and even
millions OF money behind them. Such
corporations do not dabble in soap suds
to laugh at the floating bubbles. They
are placing their money in the South
for the interest ii will bring them !;
and in their selection OF Austin as the
site of their operations they furnish
the greatest endorsement they could
give the city. These two lines mean
the present and future expenditure in
Austin of hundreds upon hundreds
OF thousands of dollars. They mean
such comfort OF travel as our citizens
have never known before, and they
mean the enhancement OF property
values along their lines of more than
ten per cent right from the
time when first put in operation.
Can the doubling Thomas gainsay all
this? What man in Austin will dis
pute it? Why then should we OF
Austin, reused from the quietude OF
the past, with nothing to lose and
everything to gain, hesitate to bran, h
out, to lay broad and deep the foun-
dations of our individual and our city's
future? There is only one time to
= strike the iron, and that is when il is
red hot The time for Austin to put
in sledge hammer blows is right now
Immediately.

AT THE time the capitol was being
built Mr.. Gus Wilke said to the
writer, that he would contract with
the city of Austin to pave the Avenue
from the capitol to the river with
Burnet granite for $4,000 a square,
or $4,000 for the whole distance
At later day it is understood he
offered to place in Galveston the same
granite cut in proper shape for paving
purposes for 10 cents stone, making
the cost of the granite landed in Gal
weston 1927 900 a square for such a
street as our Congress. avenue. Austin
is remarkably we'll situated for doing
such work cheaply. We are almost at
the mines, and in this respect have
the advantage of every city in Texas
We must have our streets paved during
the time the dam is being built.

The Military Bows,

The military boys have returned
from their Marble Falls camp and all
speak in glowing terms of the trip.
They speak in high praise of Mr.. Joe
Corners who rendered them COM
plimentary dance on Friday and Sat-
urday nights. The boys camped in
the skating rink and passed the time
fishing and hunting. Captain Houx
killed fat wild turkey and johnson
and Breckenridge each caught fish, so
the report goes, weighing several hun
dred pounds. All in all the boys had
a glorious time.

wish to lessen the spead of the horse.
teach him to ease up at the word
"steady."
When horse SHES at some unusu-
al object On the road, it is from one of
two causes, nervousness or short
sIghtedness. In neither case is it any
use to gag his mouth or apply the
whip. Patience, a firm hand and an
encouraging word will do much better.
Gently urge the horse past the terri
tying object ard bring him back and
up to it by easy stages, talking kindly
all the time, till the animal finds his
fears were ungrounded. To use the
whip or spur at such a time would be
tC increase the animals terror as he
would associate his punishment with
the object he scared at.
No one afraid of horse should ever
be allowed to train one, as any exhi-
bition of fear in voice or countenapce
will at once be noted by the animal,
and in most cases advantage be taken
of the knowledge.
Treat the horse much as you would
an intelligent human being and his
training will be easy and thorough.

AN ORDER FOR A PANsY PICTURE.

What did you say little Pansiesf
1--WE have come to make you visit,
Dressed up as each of us fancies,
In purple, orange, and tints most exquisite;
''The style OF our dresses make quaint us,
Our eyes have been bathed in the dew
And we've come to ask you to paint us,
Not many, but only few.
"Put us all in little old basket,
IT'S more picturesque than vases,
And please don't mind if we ask it,
Not to show quite all of our faces.
''We PUPPIES and Dark Browns are modest
And would like to be kept in the shade,
The YeAows and Blues and the oldest
In the light would look well to be laid;
sand If you should wish for a beauty
For the most conspicuous place,
We should all consider it our duty
To give way to Blue Eyes and white face.
"If one should droop down, as we fancy
1t might, don't think we should mind it,
For some one who dotes on pansy
Would be very certain to find it."
There, sit still little dears, while paint you
Asweet picture you'll make when you're painted
And if YOU fallen pansy, feel faint, you
Must ask alas she has tainted.
But my brush has already caught her,
And she need not stay there any longer,
Rest your stem in this saucer of water
And you soon will revive and feel stronger.
There darlings, you cannot deny it
That I've painted each as she fancies,
And some one who loves you, will buy it,
My dear little Picture Of Pansies."

For the good name of Texas, but,
also primarily for our own comfort,
Austin will, at this session of the leg
islature, make application for many
thousands of dollars to beautify and
complete the capitol grounds. Now,
one of the greatest essentials of these
grounds is broad, well paved side
walk all around them. Can we, in
the name of all that is modest and
decent, ask the State thus to perfect
for our use her premises, when we
sit idly by and let weeds grow along
our front yard fences and stones and
gullies imperil the limbs and lives of
pedestrians? If Austin shows she is
Head in earnest in this street improve
ment matter, she will stand a much
better chance Of having the State aid
her than she otherwise would.

Tolstoi's False Views of Women.


The story of "The Kreutzer Sonata"
seems to have been written for the
purpose of showing that woman is at
fault; that she has no right to be at
tractive, no right to be Beautiful; and
that she is morally responsible for the
contour of her throat, for the pose of
her body, for the symmetry of her
limbs, for the red of her lips, and for
the dimples in her cheeks. The op.
posite of this doctrine is nearer true.
1t would be far better to hid people
responsible for their ugliness than for
their beauty. 1t may be true that the
soul, the mind, in some wondrous way
fashions the body, and that to
that extent every individual is re-
sponsible for his looks. 1t may be,
that the man or woman thinking high
thoughts will give, necessarily, a no.
bility to expression and beauty to
outline. 1t is not true that the sins
of man can be laid justly at the feet of
woman. Women are better than
men; they have greater responsible
tiles; they bear the burdens of Joy.
This is the real reason why their
faults are considered greater. Men
and women desire each other, and
this desire is a condition of civiliza.
ton, progress and happiness, and of
everything of real value. But there is
this profound difference in the sexes:
In nan this desire is the foundation
of love, while in woman love is the
foundation of this desire.-Col. R. G..
Ingersoll, in North American Review
for September.

Hired Women Bathers.

flearned this week Of a new device on
The part of hotel keeper to draw trade.
Noticing large crowd collected about
bathing place on which were situated
the bath houses and pavilion of very
ordinary hotel, I journeyed thither to
satisfy not unreasonable curiosity.
The crowd was engaged in looking at
three young women who had just
emerged from the water. The women
were fairly handsome, and owned fine
forms, which We're somewhat fully ex-
hibited. One had full bathing costume
of crimson, the second wore pale blue
and the other wore white. They dis
played no embarrassment as they walked
along with a multitude of eyes resting
upon them. The young women, I was
told, were employed by the hotel keeper
for the purpose of attracting a crowd to
his bathing houses and pavilion. They
serve their purpose successfully.-Long

TEX AS REPUBLICANS.

This time the color line is sharply
drawn, nots between Democrats and
colored Republicans, but between
white and colored Republicans. 1t is
the first time in the history Of the
Republican party in Texas when the
color of mans skin or the contents
of the pigment cells OF his cuticle
have become an issue that threatens
to shiver it as the lightning shivers
the gnarled oak. Clearly the question
to he decided at San Antonio is White
vs.. Black. Quincy, the Texas Moor,
leader of the dusky contingent, aggres-
sive, backed up by the Harrison adj
ministration, no doubt stuffed with
the infamous force doctrines of Reed,
Chandler, Grandma Hoar, Henderson,
Granny Blair, old man Edmunds, and
other cranks, is determined on down
ing the white element. Messrs. Rent
fro of Brownsville, DeGress of Aus
tin, What-areD we-here-lor Flanagan of
the East Texas piney woods, may
adopt the policy of active resistance
or of pacifcation or compromise, but
the chances are Quincy will carry lis
point. 1.-The does not, he and his dark
visaged followers may make it so I'M
pleasant for the oily whites" that the
fruits of the convention will be to
their taste like veritAble apples of
sodom.

THAT a regular meeting of the
Board of Trade should go by default
because of the want of quorum to
transact business is rather severe
commentary on that business insti-
tuition. Every mans private business
of course should have his special
care, but the purpose of the Board OF
Trade is 80 clearly wrapped up in the
present and ultimate welfare of the
entire city with all its citizens, that
surely it would seem its regular
monthly meetings should be enthusi-
astically attended by all its members.
In such business union there is tre-
mendous strength, and Austin needs
such an institution now more than
ever before in her history.

How New Zealanders Act Under
the Operation of Tattooing.
Peoples of the World.
Tattoolng is by no means confined to
the P%olynesians, but this 'dermal art''
is certainly carried by them to an extent
which is uneQualed by any other peo-
pie. 1t pervades all the principal groups
of islands and is practiced by all classes,
though to a greater extent by the Mar
Quesans and New Zealanders than any
pther. By a vast number of them it is
adopted simply as a personal ornament.
though there are some grounds for be-
lieving that the tattoo may in a few
eases and to a small extent be looked
upon as a badge of mourning or a
memento of a departed friend. Like
everything else in Polynesia its origin
Is related to a legend, which credits its
invention TO the gods, and says 1t was
first practlced by the children of Taaroa,
their principal deity.
The sons of Taaroa and Apouvaru
were the gods of tattooing, and their
