A writer connected with n Boston
newspaper asks: "Why shouldn't woi
men smoke cigarettes II they want to-"
The question seems to he badly con-
structed; II should be put thus. What
is TO prevent a woman from smoking
cigarettes II she has the lncllnatlonT
The writer goes on TO say that cigar
cite smoking blackens the teeth and
materially lmpairs the feminine
charms, and adds that with the depar-
turo OF the charms the prospects of the
lady I'm the matrimonial market van
ish. This argument has been met by n
young woman OF Chicago who has
promised her mother that she win not
smoke until she is 40 years Of age.
After that time she will consider her
self released from all dlial obligation.
This would appear to be a perfectly
fair arrangement. If q young woman
is not married by the time She is 10
her chances are not likely 20 be Inn
perllcd by an occasional cigarette, and
If her teeth have stood by her nObly
until her fortieth year they will prob
ably be proof against the pernicious In
huenccs OF the nicotine Of after life.
Really, the altitude of the woman Of
the present day is most deplorable; she
must not wear corsets because they
are yainly feminine, and She must not
smoke because II is distinctly iuascu-
line. 1t would seem that the only dew
ilish thing left for woman is to put on
a shirt waist with a flat scarf and chew
gum.

The crime Of wlfe-heating has be
come so common of late that some OK
traordinary punishment seems to be
needed for It's suppression. When gar,
rotlng became common In the streets
of London some years ago the restora-
ton of the whipping post for those CON
ylcted of the crime proved an effectual
remedy. Perhaps a temporary resort

II is not unworthy of notice that one
Of the most serious disasters that have
befalien our troops in the Philippines
occurred TO those who were going TO
the relief OF a beleagured Spanish gar
rison. They were under no legal obll-
CATION TO 20 thithor, the Spanish Gov
ernment Itself being responsible for
the safe withdrawal of all its men.
They went on the perilous expedition
al the simple call OF humanity, more
ready to succor their late foes than
they would have been last year to fight
them. Such a deed should go far to-
ward restoring friendly feeling IN the
spauards toward this country.

a peculiar condition Of affairs In ag
riculture exists in n portion OF Oregon
occupied by the Eastern Oregon In
dams. Nominally these tribes have
abandoned their tribal relations and
their members have taken land In soy

farms they rent them TO whites, who
pay rental Of from $1.5O to $3 an acre.
The crop raised Is almost Invariably
wheat ana when that grain sells at so
cents bushel the farmer makes a
profit of about SIS an acre from each
crop, the cost of production being
about $3.50 an acre. These Indian
farms embrace 100 acres OF land each
and as they are being carried on under
the rental system the white man is the
one who Is most prollted, but so general
is the rental system practiced that only
one Indian I'm the three tribes cultivates
his own farm, The lands were allotted
TO the Indians In the winter of 1867,
and to show how shrewd a bargain the
"unmtored savage" drove with the
Government, 1t is told that he admitted
to the tribes very many whites, who
had a slight mixture of Indian blood in
their veins. upon the payment Of an
initiation fee varying from 50 to $500.

being paid the chief SOW that none

white men took their share of Indian
lands. For ways that are dark and
for tricks that are vein' the American
half-clvilzed Indian Is a match for the

JUST AS OF OLD.

You tell me the children to-day
Are not like the ones that we knew;
They weary Of ol1-fashioned play
Unsuitable pleasures pursue.
You've seen them, you say, in the schools
Where dancing is daintily taught;
Where Fashion an autocrat rules,
Simplicity passing for naught
They're old for their years, you recite;
They're leaving the cradle too soon;
They'll find they have come to the night
When life should be just at its noon.
You weary of laces and curls,
A Fauntleroy even annoys; -,
You long for the old-fashioned girls
And long for the old-fashioned boys.
Why judge of bird by its cage?
Why hold to the pessimist' view?
Why treat a fault Of the age
What only pertains to few?
Though all of his costliest plants
Protected and sheltered have stood,
The gardener readily grants
That flowers are found in the wood
The parlor has pictures untrue
And frequently worth passing Ger;
I'd search In the fields, were l you,
Or pause by the nursery door.
The ashioned boys of to-day
Are romping like those yon have known;
The old-fashioned girls are at play;
The oId-fashioned days haven't flown
