As a rule women who achieve great
distinction are rarely to be envied bv
their humbler sisters. There's nothing
truer than Nine. De Staels remark. so
well exempiifed in her cwn career,
GLORY can be for a woman but the

With all that has been said of the
British reforms in eie7atiEg the oharac-
ter of Hindoo womon and a5olishing
many of the long standing evils of early
marriage, suttee. etc, sCme very curl
Gus things crop out now and then. An
East Indian paper publishes tEe follow
ing extract from a governne ent prize
book for the girls schools in the Bonn
bay presidency: "If the husband of a
virtuous woman be ugly, of good or bad
disposition, diseased. fiendish, irasci5Ie,
a dr1nkard, old, stupid, dumb, blind,
deaf, hot tempered, poor, extremely
coyetous, a slanderer, cowardly, perfid-
ious and immoral, nevertheless she
ought to worship him as god, with
mind, speech and person. The wife who
gives an angry answer to her husband
will become a village pariah dog. She
will also become q female jackal and
live i'll an uninhabited desert. The wo-
man who eats sweetneats without shar-
ing them with her husband will become
hen owl, living in hollow tree. The
woman who walks alone without her
husband will become a filth eating viii
lage SOW. The woman who speaks dis
respectfully to her husband will be
dumb in the next incarnation. The wo-
man who hates her husbands S relatives
will become from birth to birth a musk
rat, living in filth" If this is the kind
of teaching which the Indian govern
ment indorses, it is time that a live and
energetic American woman like Lady
Curzon went there to take ar interest
in such things.

When cotton fetches only cents n
pound or wheat go cents O bushel, there
is an inevitable tendency Of the man
who depends on agriculture for his live
lihood to groan over the hardships of
his occupation. But there is another
side of the question which means a good
deal when you come to look atit. When
the small profit on any given crop or
series of crops is spoken of, the fact is
forgotten that should the farmer use the
same amount OF money invested in land,
buildings, stock and tools commercial
~, that capital is so small that the re-
turns on it in commercial profit would
not have given him a living. When a
man puts few thousand dollars into a
farming property, he not only invests
his capital but he purchases perma-
nent situation Of which the ups and
downs of business cannot deprive him,
unless he is the most reckless and IN
thrifty of men. However small the cash
returns Of the year, he seldom fails to
realize for himself and kis family all of
the necessaries and some of the comforts
of life. He secures in food and shelter
the value of at least as much more as
the interest en- his investment at cur
rent rates. And generally the cash divi-
dend which he receives is much more
than any ordinary commercial returns
on a similar Investment. In a good
year be may easily make sufficient to
equalize the small income of half a
dozen years up to very comfortable
percentage Of profits. The wheat farm
ing of last year is a striking example.
If the farmer S income is small, it is
because his capital is small and his la
Dor is applied in field where labor is
low. Yet he may be getting 10 per cent
On his capital besides the profit of his
own toll at wage values. There are but
few lines of business where this result
can be insured year after year.
The farmer who keeps a debit and
credit account of all the factors which
enter into his business and is honest in
charging each item to its proper head
will speedily see that his lot is not to
be deplored as compared with other oc-
equations, even in the worst years. He
is rather the one On whom fortune
smiles, if he will bat look On her face
with clear vision.

The problem Of bachelors and spin
sters is generally left to take care of
itself by modern nations. The most
paternal government has not busted
itself to make it in any sense a political
problem According to a French paper,
the Greeks, borrowing an idea from the
classical Spartans, are now agitating a
method of putting premium Gu mar
riage in a somewhat unique fashion.
Starting with the idea that a bachelor
has no proper stake in the common
wealth, it is proposed that celibacy shall
be a bar to the holding of public Office.
Get married and give children to the
commonwealth before you can run for
Office. That is the dictum in debate.
Other nations would watch the expert
ment with keen interest.

The terms on which the United States

The terms on which the United States
has enforced its peace arrangements
with Spain are in the minds of the ma
jority of Americans liberal and gener-
Gus. To the small minority disposed to
take different view there are some
considerations which may be emphasized
in striking the balance. The United
States has made no demands for indem-
nifty, of which most formidable roll of
details, running into the hundreds of
millions, could easily be made out. Had
our government followed the European
fashion in making up the debit and
credit account of war, it would have
left Spain scarcely a peg on which to
hang an expectation. To cite recent
illustration our treatment of Spain
compared with that of France by Ger
many is case of shining benefcenoe.
That meant not only the loss of Alsace-
Lorraine, but thousand milliards of
francs in addition
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1898-12-11

The Spanish government is seeking
to meet some Of its financial obligations
by method which curiously combines
sentiment with business. In addition to
the ordinary postage all letters must
bear a black mourning stamp q cent?,
signifying the profound grief of the ma
tion over their bad luck in trying fall
with Uncle Samuel. AS that little ex-
pertinent is alleged to have cost the
Spaniards abont 1900, 600, OOO pesetas
($400, coo, 060), it will take the com.
paratively unlettered people of the Ibe
rian peninsula long time to accom-.
plish this patriotic end by any suc1
means. 1t Will be like bailing cut Lake
Superior with 2 hand dipker.

Agoncillo, the Filipino envoy, thinks

The cutting of the Chicago drainage
canal, which began in 1892, followed
upon many years of vain struggle with
the pure water problem in the second
largest city of the United States The
tremendous growth Of the city and the
increased discharge of sewage into the
river which empties into the lake pol
luted the purity of the latter for dis
tance of 10 or II miles from the shore
The problem to be solved was that of
turning the flow of sewage westward
instead of into the lake. AS Chicago is
built al the base of the eastern slope of
the activity which divides the water
shed of the great lakes from that of the
Mississippi river, it only needed cutting
a canal through this ridge whereby the
water of Lake Michigan could be made
by gravity to pass through into the
Desplaines river, thence through the H.
linois into the Mississippi. This canal
involved ditch 40 miles long, and it
is now far on its way to completion,
having already cost about $50, 900, 900.
The original specifications prescribed
such capacity and grade as would
cause the foulness of the water which
carried the sewage of a city largely to
purify itself by sedimentary settlement
before it passed into the Illinois and the
Mississippi In addition to this, sup
Elementary works were to have been
built in connection with the Desplaines
river to prevent Il setback from the
spring fresbats.
1t is now charged that the city Of
Chicago through its caEal heard has go
far altered these specifications that
great danger of epidemic diseases will
inevitably arise along the course of the
canal, the DesplaiDes ana the Illinois
rivers. Tie people of St. Louis are
aroused by the dread which is contin-
gent on the emptying of the Illinois
few miles above that city that its drink
ing water will suffer from the pollution
brought down from Chicago, 200 miles
away. AS a result of this scare it is
said that most determined effort will
be made in the next congress and also
in the state legislature of Illinois to
prevent the completion of the canal
As the ground of apprehension is al
legged to be the direct result of the
drainage board S change of plans, great
ly lessening the capacity of the canal
at its upper end to save matter of
SO, 600, 000 or so, it would seem to be
within the power of the Chicago man
agement to remove the objections ad-
duced. Chicago certainly needs the ca
nal, and after all the money and effort
expended should have its advantages in
full But that great city is equally
bound to prevent ether nearby regions
from suffering evil consequences, if in
deed such are likely to occur, from the
revised plans of completion, about which
complaint is the most pregnant.
