Indian women.n Rights.

There was n woman's rights meeting
out in California the other day which
would have been safe from the gibes OF
even the bitterest scoffer at that move
ment. The assemblage was made up Of
women of the Umatilla tribe, whose
reservation is near Pendleton, and they
had met to bewail the fate of their hus-
bands, sons and sweethearts who have
recently fallen under the spell Of the
white mans "fire water" Prior to last
March, it was misdemeanor to sell
liquor to Indians or half-breeds on or
off reservation in California, and
things were going well enough with the
Umatillas at that time. But under an
old law It is found that the Indians can
be admitted 10 full citizenship, condi-
tion which liquor dealers of Pendleton
are making the most Of. Hence the
meeting of the Indian women and their
expressions of wrath as well as sorrow,
and their threats, which seemed for a
time likely to be carried into effect, OF
descending in n body on the sellers Of
fire water-Chicago Inter Ocean.

barrow fashion, in any direction. The
same operation with reversed motion
will push it back to its place when
danger from frost is past.
1t is made of one-and-one-eighth-
inch boards, pine being preferable, as
this is not so liable to warp out of shape,
mitered at the corners, and about six
inches narrower than the bay window
Is wide. This gives three inches play on
each side, which is necessary to keep
it from binding when being moved.
The posts, or legs, are of one-and-onc-
half-inch plank, and can be carved to
suit the builders fancy; they are
simply nailed to the top and braced in
some way to give sufficient support.
The braces of the stand illustrated are
made of the same material as the top,
cut similar to a shelf-bracket, and
nailed in the corners. To give the cor
ner-joints Of the top additional
strength, the posts are nailed right
under and in the same direction of the
Joints, and the braces run at right
angles to the same, reaching nearly
clear across the top on each side. Cast
ers, of course, are needed TO make NOV
lug easy.--G. c. Greiner, in Farm and

sHoRT-sIoHreD SCIENCE.
A Spirit That Has Bred Contempt for
the Past.


Science has bred In us spirit of ex
pertinent and contempt for the past.
II has made us credulous of quick inn
provement, hopeful of discovering
panaceas, confident of success in every
new thing. wish to be as explicit as
carefully chosen words will enable me
to be upon matter so critical, so radi-
cal as this. have no indictment
against what science has done; have
only a warning TO utter against the
atmosphere which has stolen from lab
oratories into lecture rooms and into
the general air of the world at large.
Science-our science-is new. 1t Is q
child of the nineteenth century. 1t
has transformed the world and owes
little debt of obligation to any past
age. 1t has driven mystery out of the
universe; it has made malleable stuff
of the hard wo, and laid it out in its
elements upon the table of every class
room. It's own masters have known
Its limitations; they have stopped
short at the confines of the physical
universe; they have declined to reckon
with spirit or with the stuffs of the
mind, have eschcwed sense and con-
fined themselves to sensation. But
their work has been so stupendous that
all other men of all other studies have
been set staring at their methods, imi-
tating their ways of thought, ogling
their results. We look in our study OF
the classics nowadays more at the phe-
nomena of language than at the move
ment of spirit; we suppose the world
which is invisible to be unreal we
doubt the efficacy of feeling and exag-
gerate the efficacy of knowledge; we
speak Of society as an asylum and be-
lieve that we can contriye for 1t new
environment which will change the
very nature of its constituent parts;
worst of all, we believe in the present
and in the future more than in the past,
and deem the newest theory of society
the likeliest. This is the disservice
scientific study has done for us; 1t has
given us agnosticism in the realm OF
philosophy, scientific anarchism in
the field of politics. 1t has made
the legislator confident that he can
create, and the philosopher sure
that God cannot. Past expert.
ence is discredited and the laws
Of matter are supposed to apply to
spirit and the makeup of society.-Chi'
cago News.

THE WESTERN WOMAN.
uer Instrumentality I'm Extending
Civilization.

The woman of the west is the spirit
cf energy. 1t is an inheritance from
her immediate ancestors, who worked
INCREASINGLY as founders of states. She
has not yet been seized with the weary
safety of over-civillzation, and feels a
Joy in labor and it's fruits. She pre-
fers activity, and if life offers her leis'
IRE, she adopts child or a career and
works for her self-sought object.
The double task of making a home
and developing the country has been
through her 30 thoroughly accom-
plished that, with all our vast terri
tory, we have scarcely district that
might truly be spoken of as the from
tier. This achievement liberates for
other uses the energy of woman, and,
true to the spirit OF the times, she
casts about her for career other than
a domestic one.
Even in the small towns Of newly-set-
tied districts the daughters of the fam
ily do not settle down to an intermin-
able round of spiritless houscwork, but
instead start out with their brothers to
their days work as stenographers,
typesetters, clerks or teachers. None
are idle or FIJI the position of lady OF
leisure, for such would be companion
less.
The women with genuine business
ability test it in small boat near shore,
and, meeting success, go further to
venture more. The woman with tai
ent or voice migrates to city favor
able for it's cultivation, and the old
profession OF teaching has its countless
aspirants, all eager TO learn new meth
DDS.
Besides all these there are the young
women who would lead life of un-
eyentful comfort at home in large
places, but who prefer the hazards
Of self-support in the world to monot-
ony in smaller sphere; so there comes
day when these too join the army
thronging to the large cities.
The education of books and colleges
is of primary Importance in their minds
just now, but by and by they will real
ize that the world bcstows more of its
wealth (and that means power) on
those who possess knowledge of men,
and an ability to recognize opportunity
when it Is met, and to seize it before it
has fled.
Another lesson that the girl of the
plains must learn is that manners and
dress enhance what other claims to sue
cess she may possess, and are not to be
despised as evidence of decadence or
effeteness. All honesty is not rude, and
q polished manner enables one to meet
any man on advantageous ground,
while faulty manner is acceptable
only to those whose ways are equally
defective.
The effect of refinement and civiliza-
ton, but making all conform to given
standards, Is to reduce all to the same
mold. The woman of the west need
not fear that her rugged individuality
will be thus obliterated, for she lives
too near to natures heart. The free.
dom of the plains, the large liberty OF
her native land, have been infused
into her blood, and she will remain as
she is-a woman whose labor is the re-
suit of thought, whose opinions are the
result of honest convictions, and whose
love of self is lost in love of mankind
and of country.-Harper's Bazaar.
