If women are in danger of becoming

sicians. When a woman is ON the
verge of nervous prostration from
overwork or social excitement and
cannot sleep, when a glass of fresh
milk at night and absolute rest from
excitement and worry would soon re-.
store her nervous system, she is given
all sorts of opiates to quiet her nerves
and learns to depend upon drugs instead
of sleep for rest.
The woman whose exhausted body
refuses to obey her any longer goes to
physician and tells him she can't af.
ford to rest and he's got to give her
some thing to brace her UP, and he pre-
scribes brandy, wine or beer. She
finds that stimulants enable her. to
perform miracles in the way of social
duties, and she is scarcely to blame if
she is taught by a physician to rely
upon them. It frequently happens that
milady in her carriage, who shudders
with disgust as she sees poor woman
emerge from a saloon with a bucket of
beer, will unscrew the silver top from
her cut glass brandy flask as soon as
she gets home and take big swallow
without dinching.
While large number of American
women use stimulants in the form of
medicines, that number is very small
compared to the number of women in
foreign countries who never sit down
to q meal without beer or wine and
who drink openly with their husbands

average American woman would not

this land was theirs. They did not
know then about this cursed drink.
Some white men brought the Bible and
taught the Indians their religion. They
were glad. Other white men brought
whisky. They drank it with my
people. The Indians wanted more and
more, and then they fought and killed
each other because the whisky made
them not know any better. After years
OF such work the government said not

It is well known that colors have
great influence ON. the; moods of some
persons, especially those of sensitive
temperament Insane persons are ex-
ceptionally susceptible to the effect
Of color, and a record which has lust
been made of experiments in this di-
rection by the directors of the Milan
insane asylum IS most interesting.
A melancholy patient was placed in
flood OF rosy light and in twelve hours
he improved perceptibly. In twenty
four hours he called for food, although
for many preceding days he had re-
fused nourishment, which had to be
given him by force. Green and blue
were found to be the most quieting,
rose the most cheering and red the
most exciting to patients generally.
The results obained were so uniform
and so satisfactory that the authorities
of the asylum have decided to adopt a
systematic course of color treatment
for the inmates of the asylam In

in so doing added to the last an unex-

Frank was one of the bravest, heart

the hard work on the diggings, he. bade
us good-by one April morning and
started off to walk, as his first homeward
stage, across country to the main road
leading to Melbourne, we all felt that
we had lost comrade not easy to re-
place. T
In those colonial ante-railway days
(lS54) we, who were located in out of
the way places, never saw newspa-
per: although to some of the more pop
nlous diggings the Melbourne Argus
was frequent visitor. We therefore
remained ign GRANT of the stir made in
the local press over certain events, in
which Frank bore a conspicuous part,
and of which learned the particulars
only after my own return to America,

Astor house, New York, who should
