NOT AN INHERENT RIGHT.
Constitutional Amendment the Only Way
for Indiana Women to Gain the Right to

Vote.
INDIASAPoLIS. Ind. Feb. 24.--Thc
state supreme court handed down de-
cision which definitely settles the long
asserted claim that women have the
right Of suffrage under the present con-
stitution. The case was orally
argued before the court by Helen
Cougar, few days ago. The decision
is on an appeal from Tippecanoe
county. The decision says. in part:
"The constitution proceeds upon the
assumption that the privilege of voting
is not an inherent or natural right. eX-
citing in the absence Of constitutional
and Legislative grant and to be limited
and restricted only by constitutional
and leg islative provisions"
1t states that this is the assumption
of the trainers of every constitution in
the land. and the only remedy lies in
constitutional amendment.

THE MOUTH WHEN ILL.
Should BE Frequently CIcansed and
Refreshed.

Refreshed.
When one is in good health the mouth
reeds no special care beyond that of or
binary cleanliness. Indeed, the secre-
tions of the various glands located in
it act as disinfectants and keep it
sweet. But few, however are so healthy
hat they need to pay some attention
K. this organ. and when one is i'll with
any serious disease this becomes more
and more necessary. One physician
has found it advantageous to have pa
tients suffering with fever chew occa-
sionally some aromatic gum to stimu-
late the secretions of the mouth and
wash out or destroy heterogeneous
or fermentation going on there. An
other has accomplished the same end
by having the patient chew some splin-
tsrs of fresh pine wood. DIR. Rosenfeld
gives quite full directions for cleansing
the mouth under such circumstances.
He says that lin children and very oil
persons, the less solid food taken, the
greater should be the care with the
mouth. They should rinse it out sew
aral times a day with lukewarm water
containing a little common salt, tine
ture of myrrh or eau de cologne adde,i
TO stimulate secretion. When there is
4 tendency to bleeding of the gums, or
when the teeth are bad. a pinch of pow
tered boric acid may be twice daily
rubbed in between the lips and gums.
Patients with false teeth should re-
move them when they cannot take sold
food
Patients with fever should have
something 10 drink--cold water or
weak lemonade-at least every hour.
One must not wait till the patient asks
for drink. Besides preventing dry
ness, the fluid maintains the activity of
the glands, and the whole function of
the mucous membrane. Many patients
are prevented from drinking by pain
ful, dry and cracked condition of the
lips, and therefore all feverish patients
should, from the commencement of
their illness, have their lips rubbed sew
era! times day with vaseline. In pro-
Eracted cases of fever the mouth NAV
also be swabbed out with oil or greatly
diluted glycerip." N. Y. Ledger.

MONKEY HAS THE MEASLES.
Ailment Peculiar to Humanity At
tacks a Simian at a Paris Museum.

So far as the members of the French
Academy of Medicine have been able to
ascertain, Cynocephalus is the, first
monkey that ever had the measles.
Zanzibar was his birthplace. He was
brought to Madagascar where he was
sold to a superior officer in the French
army. AS companion for him, the
officer bought another monkey, a vaga
bond, who had no name, and whose
birthplace was unknown. The weather
being cold, the pets were placed in a
warm house. p, private in the
zouaves, who was serving the officer, at
tended to their wants. and often frOl-
licked with them. One day p went
to the doctor complaining of an erup-
ton on his body. The doctor saw at
5Ece that he had measles and hurried
him off to bed.
", another soldier, was put in
charge OF the officers garden and mon
keys. Four days later he noticed that
CynOcephalus kept to the corner Of his
cage and refused to eat. The same doe
TOR who treated the zouave was called
in. An examination showed an erup-
ton on Cynocephalus' body and all the
other symptoms of measles. The same
treatment was given to him as to the
zouave.
The other monkey was in no wise af-
hicted. To begin with, it is reported,
he was not so intelligent or so human
as Cynocephalus, who seems to have
lived up to his fine name and his place in
the Zanzibar peerage, and then the two
we're of different tribes. ''That one
contracted the disease, while the other
didn't" says the academicians,,, SIS not az
all remarkable, for of two persons ex-
posed in the same way it often happens
that one escapes and the other does

METEOROLOGY IN INDIA.
Why the Natives Destroyed the Sur
Vey Pillars.

Letters from Bushire, on the Persian
gulf, show that the Persians are not at
all disposed to lay all the blame of the
drought on Providence Their want of
fataliStic consideration has almost
created an international incident The
agricultural population of the Bushire
district, annoyed at the want of rain,
turned their wrath upon the European
telegraph department, and especially
upon some landmarks which had been
erected by Lieut.. Cunningham, r. F.,
about two years ago, on account of the
meteorological survey of India. To
these obnoxious landmarks the def
cient rainfall was ascribed. The super
intendent Of telegraphs, besieged in his
office by threatening mob, at once
wired to the resident that affairs were
critical and II. M. s.. Sphinx and the
steamer Lawrence were ordered at once
to Bushire. Stimulated by this appari-
ton, the governor dispatched troops
with gun against the rioters; but too
late, alas, to save from destruction the
,asus belli, the survey pillars. the ercc-.
ton of which had so eXasperated the
heavenly powers. Strange to say,
heavy rain fell in Bushire and the neigh
boring district on January 6, so that the
people are convinced of the correctness
of their suspicious ard !heir action
The ring-lcaders arc less certain; for

He stood beneath the f1aring lights,
His clothes were thin and old.
The wind upon the avenue
That night was piercing cold;
He tried to sell his papers,
But the people would not buy;
And while he shivered on the stones
A tear stood in his eye.
/" What will you do when you're MANI"

The boy moment seemed to smile,
And then he shook his head;
" L cannot tell you, SIR" said he,
And brushed a tear away;
But mother says she hopes that
May rule this land some day"

A diamond flashed it's light
A moment stopped before the lad
That cold and stormy night;
Her dainty fingers drew her purse,
And in his hand so cold
She dropped, with just her sweetest smile,
Some bright and shining gold
- When you're man what will you dog"
The wealthy lady cried:
'' I'll pay you back a hundredfold."
The little boy replied;
: One little room we call our home
Amid the shadows gray;
But mother says she hopes that
May rule this land some day."
Beneath the starry flag that floats
With pride from sea to sea
A ragged coat is no disgrace,
For here all men are free;
The little boy who Shivers, in r.
His garments old and poor,
May open, as the president

OF every boy we meet
And joStle as we hasten down

For mothers prayers are answered in
A region far away;
And he who wears a ragged coat
May rule our land some day

ALLIGATOR HUNTING IN STYLE.
A SILK Hat Worn by the Hunter Was
RudeIy Displaced


w. H. GRAHAM, of Maiden, Mass. ac-
companied by Mr.. and Mrs. C. p. Stew
ems, of that city, who were making a
sightseeing tour through Florida,
joined hunting party of Il, bound on
an alligator hunt down the Indian
river.
A prize of $50 having been offered by
one OF the party to the hunter who
should capture alive the largest ailiga-
tor, made the hunt an interesting one
Mr.. GRAHAM, who has had consider
able experience in alligator hunting,
mentally resolved to win the prize
Firmly grasping his 15-foot handle
gaff, he started off through the swamp
with an air of determination. Although
the day was very warm one and he
was clad, not in his traditional hunt
er's suit, but in his best ''Sunday-go-to-
meetin' Clothes" with a silk tile for
headgear, he seemed entirely uncon-
scious of the incongruity of his appear
ance as the ''gator" hunter, and pressed
on through the tai! swamp grass, jump
ing over bitches and holes.
Suddenly he became aware that some
thing was very much alive near his
[eet, while at the same time hoarse
growl and then sound as of escaping
steam and the braying of donkey
combined greeted his ear. The next
instant the air was filled with flying
mud and water and our valiant hunter
found himself taking steps backward,
with the water and mud to his waist.
0nd his glossy silk tile floating along
ON the surface of the water directly in
front of him.
After few seconds of deliberatiOn as
to what had struck him, he espied his
hat and pushed forward TO rescue it.
About this time Mr.. Alligator, the
cause of all the commotion. who was w.
ing concealed in the water and grass,
also struck out for the hat, thinking.
no doubt, that it was a young, black
pig. This aroused the ardor of the
sportsman, and blood was in Mr.. Graf
fans eye as, firmly grasping his gait.
he awaited the coming of the alligator.
AS the animals huge jaws opened to
swallow his prey, away went the gait
between them.
Then the fun began. Quickly jump
ng onto the hard ground, Mr.. GRAHAM
tugged away at the alligator, which re-
sisted his captcr by rolling over and
over, hauling backward, lashing the wa
ter with his tail and cutting up many
other antics not laid down in the man.
ual of alligator tactics
After an exciting fight of 90 minutes
mis- 'gatorship was drawn out ON the
bank by the determined hunter, who
called assistance, and his prize was Sc
curely bound and conveyed to the
launch, where, upon arrival, he found
that the other members of the party had
secured five other alligators, all alive.
AS the party arrived back at the hotel
at 1870 p. M, after an absence of four
and one-half hours, it was not a bad
mornings hunt.
Mr.. Graffam's alligator was the big
gest, measuring seven feet six inches
and weighing about $50 pounds.
1t is needless 10 add that the prize of
$40 was awarded to Mr.. GRAHAM. who,
upon landing at the doSk, immediately
commenced a hunt for a tailor shop
and hat store, which are harder to
find in that section than alligators.-
