Our Great Women.

If there should ever be in this coun-
try woman's statuary hall it would
have to be both long and wide to ac
commodate the number who deserve
places therein. There would be seen
the faces of some of those wonderful
women of pioneer and revolutionary
days without whose aid the masculine
builders of this new civilization would
have labored in vain-such women as
Lydia Darrah, Molly Pitcher, Mrs.
MCtte, Martha Washington and Aba
gall Adams, whose pen wrote the first
Declaration of Independence Litera-
ture would have long list, beginning
with Margaret Fuller aud coming on
down to Julia Ward Howe and Frances

claim a place for Maria Mitchell. The
stage could have no better representa-
tives than Charlotte Cushman and
Mary Anderson. For deeds of daring
there would be two companion pieces

The trade in American horses with
South America can he said only to have
begun, amounting last year to only
twenty one horses, while five times as
manv were sent to Africa and more
than ten times as many to Asiatic
countries. For American horses there
would appear to be an assured market
in the West Indies since the restora-
ton of peace in Cuba, for during the
fiscal year ending July l, 1897, nearly
5000 American horses were shipped to
these islands, and the decline III the
year succeeding is ascribed generally
to the unsettled condition of affairs in
Cuba and to the practically enforced
abandonment Of agricultural opera
tions on many parts of the island.
Temporarily, too, number of horses
were withdrawn from agricultural pur-
suits for the requirements of the
Cuban cavalry, and some, too, were
purchased for the needs of the Span
ish cavalry, and since the restoration
of peace in Cuba this demand will
have to be made 'up by importations
from the United States. But to
Mexico as permanent and charging
market for American horses dealers in
this country look chiefly, and by the
agricultural census of last year it was
shown that there are now more horses
in Texas than in any other American
State, the total number being 1900,
900. Illinois and Iowa follow Texas
in the ord:r named. New York Sun.

A few minutes after Mrs. Hannibal
Wade had left the room Mrs. Raynor
came in. The widows handsome

swollen and the bit of handkerchief
she carried in her hand was limp and
damp as if with tears.

"Oh, Mr. Merrick," she said, and
there was pitiful little quaver in her
soft voice that made honest Mr.. Mer-

of sympathy.
"You don't know what we poor
widows have to bear. We are always
under suspicion and the awfulest
things are imputed to us, whereas we
are really the kindest, most sensible,
most honorable women in the world. -

Mrs. Hannibal Wade came down an
hour later to consult Mr.. Merrick
again.
The widow was sitting close beside
him, and Mrs. Wade looked at her
scornfully, The mutiny had reached
a climax and there was no longer any
necessity for preserving even Il sem

"Mr. Merrick," she said, "have you

A young girl from the East Indian
Islands. after having travelled many
thousands of miles through storm and
stress, reached American shores q few
weeks ago. She was sickly looking
girl, and the physicians who took her
in charge soon after her arrival de-
cided that she was suffering from an
aggravated case of stomach trouble.
Her symptoms were the most peculiar
thew had ever come across in their
wide experience, however, and it re-
1uired much study and many con-
situations to trace the deplorable
effects back to their cause. Finally
thew learned that the girls disordered
digestion was brought about by eat
ING too freely of white ants. These
ants are an important article of food
in some portions of the East Indies.
The natives skim them off the ton of
the water, where they lie like coat
Of thick cream, and parch them in lit
tie iron pots After being parched
some of them are made into drink,
like coffee: others are ground into
flour and mixed into bread, while still
others are eaten like popcorn. But
TOO much of an ant diet is bad for the
system, and now that little girl from
the Indies will have to swallow a
small drug store of American antidotes
to bring back her health. Chicago
