Women In Indiana.

The legal rights Of women are no.
where in the Union more liberal than in
the state Of Indiana. In recent address
by lawyer before the Woman's club in
indianapolis these were thus formulated (:
"Since 1881 married woman may hold
real or personal property the same as if
she were unmarried. She is now per-
mitted to become surety or indorser for
her husband, or any other person. She
may carry ON any trade or tAiness and
perform any labor or service on her sep.
arate account, and is entitled to her sep
arate earnings. Her legal condition is
one Of comparative freedom and indie
pendence. The policy Of the law in re-
cent years has been to remove her dis
abilities and at the same time to pro.
tect her from the Vaccinations of those
who might seek to take advantage Of
her inexperience and Of her willingness
to sacrifice everything material for the
sake Of those she loves.

were 100 black boys to say "Good

times in my mind to give up this piece
OF politeness. The last time I went
down was almost decided; but when

and saw them looking SO comic and SO
melancholy. I began the business over
again. This time I thought more of

down to the tail end where the carts
were running, received u very pleas

was pushing at the back Of cart, lift

Tho Rules Of His Life.

Ex-Congressman John S. Wise of Vir-
ginia tells me this story:
Immediately after the war q promi-
nent Republican, having in view an in
vestment in Virginia, went to Madison
Court House in that state with Frederick
Douglass as a travelling companion.
Their business brought them in contact
with q certain Colonel Dinwiddie, q
Virginia gentleman of the old school
Mr.. Wise's friend said:
Colonel Dinwiddie, allow me to in
troduce my friend, Mr.. Frederick Doug.
lass. You must have heard of him.
The colonel put his hands behind him
as Mr.. Douglass stepped forward, and
extended his.
Douglass, said the Virginian, 81
am glad to see you. But you will ex.
cuse me; I have made it rule of my
life never to shake hands with niggers. -
"Oh, certainly" said Douglass. 81
am an ex-slave and I know the preju
dices Of the old slave owners"
There was some further conversation,
and then Douglass said to the courtly
son Of the Old Dominion:
"By the way, colonel, we are just
going to take drink. Will You joir
us?''
The old gentleman hesitated, cleared
his throat and then replied:
"Well, Douglass. have made it an
other rule Of my life never to refuse t.
take drink. don't mind if I do. -

From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Per.
manently Cured by
Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not
a Patent Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting
account of what he considers a re-
markable cure of acute stomach trou-
BILE and chronic dyspepsia by the use
OF the new discovery. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was . man
who had suffered to my knowledge
for years with dyspepsia. Every
thing he ate seemed to sour and
create acid and gases in the stomach;
he had pains like rheumatism in the
back. shoulder blades and limbs.

poor appetite and loss of flesh; the
heart became affected, causing palpi-
tation and sleeplessness at night.
gave him powerful nerve tonics
and blood remedies, but to no pur-
pose. As an experiment l finally
bought 50-cent package of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store
and gave them to him. Almost i'm
mediate relief was given and after he
had used four boxes he was to all
appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after
meals, the appetite was vigorous and
he has gained between 10 and IL
pounds in weight of solid, healthy
flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are advertised and sold in drug
stores yet consider them a most
valuable addition to any physician's
line of remedies, as they are perfect
ly harmless and can be given to chill
dren or invalids or in any condition
Of the stomach with perfect safety,
being harmless and containing moth
ing but vegetable and Fruit essences,
pure Pepsin and GOLDEN Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indi.
gestion, biliousness, constipation and
all arrangements of the stomach

Rome's Attempts to Ee Modern.

The tendency in Rome has of late been
toward the artificial, and it is refresh
ment to come upon some untouched por-
ton Of what is good as we'll as pic
turesque. The attempt to produce a
modern capital at all hazards and costs
has told upon the population as we'll as
upon the city itself. For at great centers
the first result of modern civilization is
vice. and the next is degeneracy. 1t is
really quite useless to ignore the fact in
print. when it is perfectly apparent to
every man in his senses. Italy is no
worse than other countries, but neither
is che an exception to the general rule,
and since the most necessary institutions
OF civilization are prisons and hospitals,
it is to Italy's credit that she should
have spent as much as she has upon
them in the midst of SO much utterly
senseless extravaganza in other direc-
lions. marion Crawford in Century.

cipitation, being made to yield value

The practicability Of this precipitation

means Of experiments that were Of a
very crude character; the first to ini-
tiate the matter being miner who was
without experience or knowledge in re-
spect to the chemical relations Of the
metals, but who casually ascertained
that a tin can or piece Of iron thrown
into the channel through which the
waste water was discharged would at
tract the copper contained in the water
and save ut least large percentage Of
it-and so, in a short time. as the result
Of experiments, 1t was found that every
drop Of water discharged by the mines
was capable Of being handled to advan.
tage for the metal contained in It.
