THE HOME.
ABOUT WOMEN.

That women are progressing IN India
is shown by the fact that there are forty
doctors now practicing there.
Several friends of Harriet Beecher
Stowe have given money for the purpose
of securing likeness of her in marble.
The commission.for the bust has been
given to Miss Anne Whitney, who is now
studying for her work in Hartford.
One of the first women to be appointed
to public office in the South is Miss
Laura Towne. She has been made a
member of the educational board, a post
for which she is peculiarly fitted by the
wears she has spent in teaching the
negroes in the island of st. Helena. A
coiored man, who was president of the
board, opposed her appointment, as he
objected to holding Office with woman.
A unique and responsible position is
held by Miss Cresswen the postmistress
of Gibraltar She superintends the gov
eminent telegraph office, and not only
administers the affairs of the Gibraltar
post office but also those of the branch
office at Tangier, Magzagau and other
towns of Morocco Her salary equals
$500.
Hereafter the art of running, boating
and cycling is to be systematically taught
at Wellesley college, and Miss Hill, the
instructor, intends to train four boat
crews, selected from the best material of
the freshman class, and from these will
be chosen eight young women who are
best at the oar to be captains of the
freshman crews on ''foat day, in June.
Japanese women are the best land
scape gardeners in their country and are
to be employed in laying out the grounds
of the womans department of the
Worlds Fair.
Caroline S. Brooks, the sculptor, who
prefers butter, putty or dough to clay for
modelling, and who became famous fifteen
years ago when she exhibited the ssSleep-
inc Iolanthe'' in butter at the centen-
NAL exhibition, will send the same model
in marble to the Worlds Fair in 1893.

The recall of Minister Eagan from San
tiago Immediately after the overthrow OF
Balmaceda could probably have been ac-
complished without any unfavorable in
Election upon his conduct, and it might
have been wise and prudent to have re-
called him at that time. But his recall
now would necessarily be looked upon
by everybody as tantamount to con-
domination of his conduct. Therefore
unless the government has come to the
conclusion that such condemnation
should be imposed upon him he ought to
be allowed to remain at least until Chilli
has apologized for the attack upon the
sailors of the Baltimore or has indicated
distinctly that no such apology is to be
forthcoming.

The Presidents message and the Chill
ian correspondence which will be sent to
Congress early this week, will undoubt-
eddy clear up to large extent the con-
Trajectory stories which have been in cir
culation for weeks past relative to the
attitude of the United States and Chill
towards one another, and the character of
the correspondence which has passed be-
tween them. 1t will furnish a ground
work for an intelligent Judgment of the
situation and the responsibility for it
which has been to a great extent wanting
Within few days there have been some
signs land the determination to send the
correspondence to Congress Immediately
is one of them), that the relations be-
tween the two countries have taken less
favorable turn, and that the confident pre-
dictions of last week of an early settle
ment are not likely to be realized. Pre-
cisely what the hitch is is not definitely
known, but it is probable that the Chill
ian government is encountering so much
opposition from the people at home to
any concession to our demand that it is
hesitating to act, lest it precipitate an
internal revolution.
The Portland daily press., 1892-01-25

Our esteemed contemporary, the East
ern Argus, propounds to us series of
questions bearing upon the liquor traffic
in Portland. First it wants to know if we
deny that men get noisily drunk in Port
land on ''split." The PRESS has no posi-
tive knowledge on the subject but it re-
CARDS it as altogether probable that some
men do. Next it wants to know if the
PRESS denies that empty whisky bottles
are removed from the water closets of
our public buildings and hotels daily
where they have been left by men, gen.
orally young men, after being drained
of their contents We have not investi-
gated the matter, and therefore cannot
affirm or deny. Next it wants to know
if the PRESS denies that thousands of
dollars are contributed to Boston S
money circulation by citizens of Portland
for liquors bought there. There is proba-
bly, no doubt that some money is contrib
uted in that way. Next the Argus wants
to know if there is not in every city and
ldlSS bOWh Ill PloPO1 Uio1l1UO
number of drunkards. There are I'M
doubtedly some drunkards in most if not
all of the cities and large towns. What is
meant by sproportionate number" we
do not quite understand Next it wants
to know if there is not large number of
professional and business men in Port
land who think license would be better
for the interests of the city than prohi-
bition. Undoubtedly there are some
who think so. Next it wants to know if
more whisky was not manufactured in
this country in 1891 than ever before in
the same period. We have not the sta
tistics on this matter and therefore can
not say.
Now supposing all these questions
were answered in the way that the
Argus evidently thinks they ought to be
those answers would have no tendency to
show that prohibition had not rednced
drinking or drunkenness. Much less
would they show that the substitution of
any form of license would reduce it.
The men who get drunk on split are
in ninety-nine cases out of hundred
men who long ago contracted the
drink habit, whom nothing short of
treatment in a Kelley institution
will ever reform. Nobody ever ex-
pected prohibition could be so thorough
ly enforced as to deprive these people Of
a chance to get drunk. Of course the
