q paper war, on an enormous
scale, is in full blast, and it may
be a good thing that mighty
space gapes between us and Ha-

any means to attain their ends.
Altogether considered, the
world is not in that happy frame

it is too big for harmony; or that

Until lately all medical assis-
lance was denied to the women of
India, who are restricted from see
ing a physician of the opposite

English missionary ladies went
forth and founded hospitals that
help in time of sickness was yiel-
ded them. If exception was ever
made to the rule, the patient was
concealed behind the folds of a
heavy curtain, through an aper-

The Women Of India.
Their Life Is Severe, and They
Barely Know Pleasure.
They Are Forced by Custom to
Live in the Closest Retiracy
Denied Even Medical
Assistance.


men are daily becoming more
widely recognized, it is almost in
comprehensive to grasp the fact
of the complete isolation in which
the women of India among the
highest castes-are living. To
hear of the seclusion into which
the poor little wives and widows
are thrust makes one imagine that
fables of long years ago are being
told to US, and that We are listen
ing to facts which happened in
periods SO remote that ancient
folk lore alone is responsible for
the recapitulatlon of tales which
must have travelled through gen.
erations and generations ere they
reached our ears.
But it is modern times that the
terrible restriction of women in
India exists, when, from the mar
riage day, the child-wives are Ia
ken from school, often at the ear
ly age of nine and ten years, and
closely kept in zenanas for the
rest of their days-never being al
lowed to see man save the hus-
band. 1t is only to his younger
brother that the wife is allowed
to speak, and even to him she
shields her face. Closely Gagged
in the zenana which is the room
in a gentleman's house where in
the women Of the family are kept,
and which also is the furthest
apartment from the entrance to
the house, access only being at
tainable through the husbands
suite of rooms the India wives,
and widows spend their lives in
solitude and ignorance, for the
poor little creatures can scarcely
be said to have received any edu-
cation whatever, being taken from
school at a period when they
should practically be at the COM
mencement of their education.
Many of them cannot even read,
and have therefore no resource
but to plat their hair. thread
their beads and cook their hus-
bands food.
The zenanas are barely furnish
ed, containing a single bed, one
or two round, flat stools IF plain
wood, apparatus for COO ing, a
pitcher for water, a tray contain
ing one or two gilt cups and pla-
ties, and in the inches of the wall
the idols which are worshiped.
In the small courtyard adjoining
is tank which serves as a morn
ing bath, and to wash the hands
later in the day the young wife
tucks the pitcher under her arm
and pours water on to her out
stretched palms, letting it run up
on the whitewashed floor. The
windows are purposely placed at
q distance beyond her reach, and
are purposely barred.
Lady visitors may come to see
these desolate women, but a man
other than the husband is forbid
den to cross the threshold, and
should his footstep be heard out
side, the wife turns her face to the
wall and covers it quickly with
her veil. Even the privilege of
her husband by his first
name is denied her. She may not |
sit nor eat in his presence, and is
only allowed the scraps which he
rejects by way Of food.

Nicola Tesla, whose wonderful achievements in the line of electricity are well known, thinks that he will soon be able to produce sunlight on the earth at will. He says that the light of the sun is the result of cleo trical vibrations in the 94, 900, 900 miles of ether which separates us from that great luminary, and does not proceed from a great central fire: as the scient- ists have all along held. If these yi- brations can be reproduced the high CT light will follow The rapidity of the vibrations in second necessary to produce the desired result is, he says, expressed by the figure } with II ciphers annexed and he is now trying to build machine which will produce these vibrations. It would appear from what he says that this vibration must be produced in nothing, or what comes next to nothing ether-for he asserts that if one had solid chunk of steel as big as house, and could communicate to it this vibration, it would instantly be atomzed and dis. appear

TIE act of congress, providing Tor the Funding and Loan Commission says:
 "Section 6. When the sale of bonds shall be awarded by the Loan Com mjssioners, they shall provide and pro cure the necessary bonds as m thls act nroyided, and any expense incurred by them therefore. for the publication or said notices. costs of remitting funds for the payment of interest or money on said bonds, and all other necessary incidental expenses, under the proyis- ions of this act, shall be paid out or the general fund of said territory upon the order of the territorial auditor, countersigned by the governor; ana snm of money sufficient to cover said costs and expenses is hereby appro- priated out of said funds
 Comment upon the garbled attempt O. democratic politicians to show ille- gal use of funds by the previous Loan Commission, is unnecessary. That Commission saved and it's acts are still saving to the territory si5.oOO in hard cash per year, and not dollar was IT, legally or unnecessarily spent in brlng- ing about that desirable result. If 1t had cost the whole of the saving tu the territory on the first year or two the sales of the bonds would yet have been desirable and more than the new commission can show for the consider able money it has expended to no pur- pose whatever up to this date, over a year.

Who Were They.
From the San Francisco Examiner

A number of years ago during the mining excitement in Tombstone, Ariz., two young women started out to seek their fortunes. Every one has heard or read of the male prospector, with his hopes, deprivations and dis appointments, but few, think, have heard of the female prospector, for such they were They had tried one business after another with varying success, and now they determined to don heavy boots and rough clothing and with their side of bacon and sack of beans true prospector stylel, strike out to try their luck Day after day they trudged over rocky mountains, sleeping where night overlook them. Up with the break of dawn and after a hastily eaten breakfast, eager to re- new the trials of yesterday. But with hearts so full of hope and promise, never tiring or giving up in despair, toillng and trudging side by side with the hardest and toughest old prospec- tor. fearing neither insult nor injury, those they met feeling particular pride in giving them all the informa- tion and assistance that lay in their power.
 They did not start out to find q mine, if such should be their fortune, with out knowing what they were doing. or blindly, for some time before the un- dertaking they had made thorough study of the different minerals aud formations. So it could not be said they were eccentric or crazy They had a better knowledge of what they were undertaking than many man who starts out in like pursuit, but who, by the merest accident or chance, stumbles on to a great mineral body and often makes a great fortune. These two young women had all the pluck that was necessary for such a life, but somehow they did not seem to have the luck they tried for.
 Occasionally they would find en- couragement, then disappointment. They made location after location, and, "womanlike.H would give their "mines" fancy names. which Of itself was very gratifying Every one treated them with respect, neither ridiculing nor belittling them in anyway, all hoping that they would be well re- warded for their pluck and independ- ence but. sorry to say, without any great reward for their perseverance.
 Still, after all, it cannot be said they made complete failure. They did not try it for day or two and then become disgusted. They stuck to it with a determination and perseyer- ance that was both commendable and astonishing considering their hard ships
