A Prosperous Republic.

Salvador has 1900 square miles and
a population estimated at 665, 900. 1t is
small, but in proportion to its size is
the most populous and prosperous re-
public of Central America. Coffee is
the principal product Indigo, sugar
and medicinal plants and woods grow
abundantly Salvador is especially rich
in gold, silver, iron, copper and MUIR
curry, and now has 200 mines in opera
ton. The exports far exceed the i'm
ports, and that accounts for Salvadors
prosperity. The United States bought
last year from Salvador sl,s5O, 432
worth of her products and sold to her
81, ,235, 1928. The total foreign trade of
Salvador was about $4,000, 1000. 1t is
notable that the United States has just
doubled her exports to Salvador since
1883, and that by steady increase each
year. This trade goes by way of Pacific
ports. Chicago News.

AN EXPLORERS END.
Circumstances Attending the Death of

circumstances Attending the Death of
Livingstone.
David Livingstone, the African mis-
sionary and explorer, died on the 4th
of May, 1878. About year before
Stanley had left him at Unyanyembe
well provided with goods but lacking
men for the transport of his baggage.
Livingstone waited five months at this
place until the arrival of fifty-seven
stout and faithful men and boys picked
out and sent to him by the American ex-
plorcr. With these he started in August,
1872, for Lake Bangweolo, and proceeded
along the east side of Lake Tanganyika.
At this time he was attacked by dysen-
terry a complaint which had frequently
given him trouble in his wanderings in
the wilds of the dark continent. In
January the party reached marshy
and extensive jungle east of Lake
Bangweolo, and floundered about for
days and weeks, trying to find way
toward the south and west. Mr.. Liv-
ingstone's object was to discover the
fountains" or sources of the lake. The
situation of the explorer and his men
was at this time very discouraging.
They were compelled to wade through
a spongy soil while a steady rain
poured down upon them from
above The doctor grew steadi-
ly weaker under the strain,
though he did not apprehend fatal
result. He finally had to consent to be
carried in litter. On April 81 he made
this, the last entry in his journal:
Knocked up quite, and remain-re-
cover-sent to buy milch goats. We
are on the banks of the Molilamo."
May he was so weak that he found it
difficult to wind up his watch, and on the
| following morning his black attendants
found him l1neeling beside his bed, dead.
They embalmed or preserved the body
as well as they could, and then tender.

Men Gossip3.

Talk about women gossips, they are
jewelscompared to the male representa-
tives of that order, and am about ready
to confess that the men who gossip out
number the women who engage in that
occupation two to one. That they are
worse can be demonstrated. Men hear
bits of fact relating to business enter
prises and transactions in business and
on these bits, through knowledge of
business methods, they are able to
build stories of fabulous proportions,
and stories, too, which bear the test of
legal examination and cross-examina-
ton. Women gossips as a rule, are
continually contradicting or otherwise
exposing their weakness, and in this
way harm few people worse than they
injure themselves. N. Y. Press.

WOMEN IN THE LAW.
They Have Pushed Their Way In spite
all Obstacles.

all Obstacles.
Many female lawyers make a special
ty of defending women; and there they
find certain scope for sympathy as
well as intellectually, but the profess
sion does not fit the feminine tempera-
ment as does either the medical or
ministerial. For that reason it will
never be as popular. But the study of
law by women bids fair to have good
although an indirect effect. 1t sets the
fashion, so to speak, of becoming posted
in the legal matters affecting them
as maids, wives and widows. The
courts are continually defining and in
creasing their rights and powers in the
holding of property and the conduct Of
business, and the. time will come when
those who have not enough ambition or
curiosity to ascertain how they stand
will be taught their legal status in high
schools and seminaries.
Women's lack of legal knowledge has
long been a most cruel weapon used for
her intimidation and oppression. Too
long has she solely relied upon man as
her legal guardian, and when the study
of law has become more popularized
there will be less weeping and wailing
among deluded wives widows, or or
phans. Even in England, which is
usually slow to move in any female in
noyati' e
education, one OF ner majestys own
counsels speaking earnestly in its be-
half.
As rule women who have received a
legal education are Office lawyers, and
they make good ones. Occasionally, as
in the case of Mrs. Myra Bradwell and
Mrs. Catherine V. Waite, they drift into
speciality in the publication line. Mrs,
Bradwell, rs is known by most Chica-
goans, is the editor of the Legal News
and Mrs. Waite is at the head of the
Law Times. Both of their husbands
are ex-judges, are hand-in-hand with
their work, and the publications are au-
thority on all legal subjects through
cut the West.
Mrs. Bradwell is the mother of the le-
gal sisters in America, being the first
woman who ever applied for admission
to its law courts She studied law in
her husbands Office, passed the required
examination, but in August, 1879, was

EDUCATION AND NATURE.
The Province of Training and Culture for
the Young.

The Province of Training and Culture for
the Young.
The girls who go to private schools
nre, as rule from families of the least
moderate wealth. But in our fluctuat-
ing country this is no proof that they
will go through their lives without feel
ing the necessity of doing something at
some time for their own support or the
support of others. What that will be
we can not tell, for the march of inven-
tion is so swift that if we should pre-
pare the girl for any one industry, She
might find herself unable to make her
living out of it when the need should
come She will probably be, we may
say, wife and mother But II
we assume this, we still do not
know how to fit her for the duties
Of those positions in definite way.
The best thing still is TO make the most
OF a woman we can out of her, and then
to trust the disciplined woman we have
fashioned to answer for herself the de-
mands to come to her in the misty fu-
ture, which she will see, and which she
can judge, but which we shall not see,
and which no man can foretell.
The province of education is to lift
the individual out of her naturalness,
and not to allow her to remain in it.
All education is this. The child would
prefer to take her food, in her fingers,
for it is natural to her to do so; but ed
ucation takes her in hand, and makes
her eat in the way not of ma
ture, but of civilization. There is
no natural way of education; it
is all completely unnatural, and
must be so. The natural child protests
against discipline of whatever kind,
and seeks to follow her cravings; but
out of this fools paradise-which would
be no paradise at all, as her teacher
knows-she must be driven, and out OF
it she must be kept, though it be with a
flaming sword
1t may be said that the natural man
washes up on the shores of knowledge
as the shipwrecbed Irishman on the
desert island, eXclaiming: "Is any gov
If so, I'm agin it!' This not too strong
ly illustrates the opposition made by the
natural mind to the training necessary
for its attainment of the stature which
rightfully belongs to it as heir of all
the ages, If the home do its work well
the task of the teacher and the school
is comparatively easy; but there are toe

gence of the mother. When little six
year-old girl on her first day at school
tries to strike her teacher over the head
with her heavy slate because she is told
to do some little thing, we may not un
reasonably assume that that home has
failed of its purpose, if, indeed, it ever
had any.-Anna c. Bracket, in Uar

type, slender and graceful, with unas-

Her success is regarded as something
