The consequences of the scarcity Of do
mestc servants in Brazil, owing to the alb
clifton of slavery are described in the Brit
ish consular report from Rio Grande do
Sui. 1t appears that not per cent of the
male or female servants will sleep in their
masters house. They insist on leaving at
the latest by o'clock in the evening and
will not return before or i'll the morn
ing For this reason some houses have a
pane of glass in one of the windows taken
out through which the baker and milkman
pass their goods on their early morning
rounds without troubling member of the
family to get up and open the door.
1t is said to be quite common for a good
cook to insist on the family dining not
later than o'clock, in order that she may
be able to put the kitchen in order and go
home early. If these or any other demands
are not granted, the servant leaves without
any notice, there being apparently no law
of master and servant in Brazil. The
wages average 60 to 43 a month, with food,
and the servants, as rule, purloin enough
every night to provide supper at home.
These servants are all negroes or mulat-
toes and are nearly all freed slaves, but in
spite of all their drawbacks they are gen.
orally preferred to white servants, who in
Brazil have nearly all worse failings than
the blacks.

A student of life and manners in the
Punjab has been struck by the large pro-
portion of very old men in the Indian jails.
In the prison at Mooltan there were last
year II life prisoners whose total ages
were found to amount to more than l, 100
years, two of them being patriarchs of
upward of so. This remarkable fact is at
tributed partly to the great improvement
in the economy of Indian jails since the ex-
posture of their mismanagements some years
ago, but more directly to the prevalent
practice when a crime has been committed
of handing over the least useful member
of the family as a sort of vicarious offer
ing to justice.
On this point the inspector general of In
dian prisons observes that the confinement
which conviction entails is of course less
irksome to the aged than to the young.
Moreover" he continues, 1.-The people
know that specially comfortable place in
the shape of good food, ample clothing, a
special dietary, the lightest of work and a
society not entirely uncongenial awaits the
old man in our jails. y case has been cited
in which man had been strangled. The
person to whom the crime, by his own con-
fession, was brought home was feeble old
fellow vino had been paralyzed in both
arms for 90 years and could not have COM
mitted the crime. But as his family all
said he did it, and as there were plenty of
'eyewitnesses," the old man went cheer
fully to Jail and lies there still-London

The Color of Fish.

There is no phenomenon of nature that
escapes the investigating eye of science. In
England they have lately been experiment
ing with founders in order to determine
whether the Wilderness of the under sides of
those fish is due to the exclusion of light,
and the presence Of color on their upper
sides to exposure to light.
They have kept the fish experimental
upon living in glass tank having a mir
ror placed beneath, so as to reflect light
upon the under sides of the fish.
One of these prisoners has survived for
three years under conditions SO strangely
different from its ordinary habits of life,
and all of them have exhibited the devel-
opment of spots of pigment on their lower
surfaces.
The eXperimenters have concluded that
it is exposure to light that causes the col
Grafton of the upper parts of the bodies not
only of founders, but of other fish, and
converse ly that is to the comparative alb
sence of light that the whiteness of the I'M
der sides of fish is due. They extend the
same principle to explain the colorless con-
dition 81 the skins of many animals that
pass all their lives in caves.-Philadelphi

Helen watterson Says women's Wrongs
Are Aggravated by Too Much Talk.
Whatever amelioration the condition of
women may need today, it is not to be &C
complished by going into rhetorical or ex-
ecutive session about it. The Individual
wrongs from which individual women are
suffering are not, alasl to be righted by
papers in congresses, and the sex wrongs
from which all women are supposed to be
suffering are only aggravated by being
made the subject of excessive considera-
ton.
Take, for example, the one wrong of
which women complain with most sharp
ness and most justice-unequal payment
for equal work. Anything that helps to
emphasize the fact that women are new
Corners in any field of work tends directly
to lower the wages of that work; anything
that helps to arouse the prejudices OF men
and so keeps up unfair discrimination
against women workers tends directly to
depress wages; anything that introduces
false distinction into work-and the sex
distinction is false one-will lower wages;
any sentimental consideration that serves
to obtrude the fact that women are not
equal to men in units of horsepower is sure
to lower wages. The fact is, women work
ers are at considerable physical disadvan-
tage in comparison with men, and the less
said about it the better.
So it is with other favorite themes of dis
cussion among women. The less said, for
example, in declaration of woman's rights
and in Qualification OF her achievements the
better for both rights and achievements.
The strongest assertion of right is the as
sumption of it, and the only proof of equal
ity of work is equality of work
Now, all these and many other things like
them are the stuff of which women's con-
gressional discussions are made, and they
all serve charmingly to keep alive that in
tangible something called the "Woman's
Question" of which men are already very
tired, and of which women ought to be.
For men have already risen, with the
wonderful multiplication within the last
few years of powers and activities common
to both sexes, TO recognize the fact that
work is a neuter noun, and that SO far as
women workers are concerned the chivalry
of disregarding their sex is greater than
the chivalry of recognizing it. Both men
and women were equally culpable in the
sex consciousness of two centuries ago.
Today it is women and not men who are
responsible for it.-Helen Watterson in

DISPEL THE CLOUDS.

There are some people who are never
cheerful-who are always under a
cloud. Now we may be born with
melancholy temperament, but this is
no reason why we should yield to it.
In the lottery of life there are more
prizes drawn than blanks, and to one
misfortune there are fifty advantages.
Dependency is the most Improbable
feeling a man can have. One good,
hearty taught is bombshell exploding
in the right place, while spleen and
discomfort are q gun that kicks over
the man who shoots it off.

DR.. Hans Won Bulow is credited with hav-

FALL HOUSE CLEANING.

a flame is in her CLASSY eye, a broom
is in her eager hand, aloft she lifts a
sudden cry that echoes like q new
brass band her dress is reefed about
her knees, as through the house she
cuts path, and in her every stranger
sees being of majestic wrath. Step
ladders scale the papered height, and
tubs of water flood the floor; her
voice is heard from morn to night, ris-
ing above the awful roar. Fly from
her presence, dog and cat, fly from her
presence, man and mouse; it is the

LEAVE ALL TO HIM.

Leave all to Him who knoweth oil,
To whom there's neither great nor small,
But one vast comprehending plan,
Thyself involved ere words began;
Leave all to Him.
Leave all to Him, He gllideth all
He hears the weakest when they call,
For none are mightier than those
Who on His unseen arm repose;
Leave all to Him.
He'll scourge thee. when naught else will do
But make thee more than conqueror too;
thee perhaps, against thy will,
Yet trust Him-He's thy Father still;
Leave all to Him.
Though friends may turn to bitter foes,
Leave all to Him He ever knows
When thou wouldst lean too much on these,
And seek, with them, thyself to please;
Leave all to Him.
Leave all to Him, thy want, thy care,
That nameless grief that none may share;
That daily sum of wearying tolls
That veXes and thy peace despoils;
Leave all to Him.
Leave all to Him, then sweetly lie
Beneath His watchful, loving eye,
And say, fulfill Thy will in me;
In life, in death, eternally,
Leave all to Him.

The Father of Waters.

The Mississippi was the last Of long
series of names proposed for our great riv-
er. De Soto called it 1.-THE River of the
Holy Spirit" and the Portuguese who
wrote an account of De Soto's wanderings
called it the Rio Grande In an effort to
settle on name for it the apaniards called
it Rio de la Palisada, Rio de la Eulata,
Rio de ia Soto, Rio Chucaga, Rio de la Es-
condido, the Lost river and other names.
Marquette gave it the name La Riviere de
la Conception, Hennepin denominated it
the Colbert, and other French explorers
called it the St. Louis and Grande riviere.
The French finally settled on Meate-chas-
sippi, an Indian designation, and this name,
with slight change, became universally ac-
cepted.-Philadelph Record.

CONVENTION OF SPIRITUALISTS.
Twelve Hundred Men and Women Meet
at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-Half an hour before
the national convention OF S~piritualists Of
the United States was called to order to-day
in the big hall of the Auditorium the Hobbies
md committee rooms were crowded with
followers Of the faith. No less than 100
men and women to discuss mat
ters of general interest and formulate q
constitution and bylaws. This work was
prosecuted vigorously The constitution
was drafted and read to the assembly. The
majority of the delegates are we'll along in
years, but there were many young, sturdy
enthusiasts, who were prominent in the
committee rooms, and whose optimistic
influence was felt when it came to cheering
my sentiment that particularly struck the
audience as deserving of recognition. In
addition to these. there were women who
represented the movement from all parts
Of the country, and a number notably
Young and pretty.
Mrs. NJ. E. Cadwallader, a handsome, in
tellectual looking woman from Philadel-
phia, during the proceedings, said that the
rnaritable end of spiritualism should not
be lost sight of. An association having for
is object the endowment Of educational in
stitutlons, hospitals and homes for aged
Spiritulists and mediums, of which she
was the corresponding secretary, was al
ready achieving a vast and useful work in
me Quaker City. She maintained that there
were thousands of Spiritualists in the
United States who were ashamed to de-
eiare themselves, and that many were prop
ggating the doctrine under the guise of
Presbyterlanism, Methodism and other ac-
cepted creeds.
A good deal OF feeling has been excited
lmoDg the S~piritualists on their having
been denied the use of the Memorial Art
Palace, but a change has taken place, in
ir. Bonney's opinion. concerning their
light to be regarded as a religious sect.
and he feels that they are now entitled to
rave the papers given at the convention IN
;orporated with the other papers of the
congresses. y committee was appointed
mis- morning to draft these papers and for
ward them to Mr.. Bonney.
Among the prominent Sp~iritualists who
we're present during the morning and after
noon sessions were Milan c. Edison, of
washington; Mrs. II. S. Lake, of the Spir-
itual Temple, of Boston; Mrs. r. S. Lille,
If Boston, and S. n. Ashingwall, president

.ows: Permanent chairman, Fl. B. Bar
rett, of New York; vice president, E. V.

as consul-general, and the provisional
government has been considering the adj
visibility Of requesting the United States
TO recall Mills's appointment. He is OBJ
Jected to on account of a preference for the
royalist cause he displayed while here as
Mr.. Blount's secretary. The annexation
lists say tina If Mills be sent here he will
be mercilessly snubbed. An official dis
patch received from Washington states
that the Hawaiian legation there has been

Morgan that some action favorable to an
nexation will be taken by the United States.
