A Frcnchman said recently: Let
every woman have two hours a day
of serious mental occupation. during
which the faculties of her mind will
regain their balance, all their powers
will be systematized, her tired head
will be rested, and her good sense and
Judgment will regain their empire, and
peace will dwell in her agitated heart. "
Every housekeeper knows the truth OF
his words. The care of the home may
be a delightful occupation, but 1t
ought not to exclude every other in
terest. There can be no happiness for
a woman with brain and imagination
in a life that limits her to mere do
nestle drudgery. Every housekeeper
should study herself and learn her
zone talent"-for she surely has one
and turn to it's development as a relief.
BY so doing she brings added happi-
ness to her family as we'll as to her.

the one wholly occupied by household

Marriage customs In snmntrn.

Women do not have a bad time of
it, on the whole, in the island of Su-
matra. The husband settles mar
rage portion on his wife when he mar
ries her He is a liberty to get a sep
aration from her If he wishes it, but
in that case he is bound to give her
her marriage portion and any property
which she may have brought into the
marriage contract untouched. The wife
does not live in the same house as her
husband, but has separate establish
ment, at which her husband visits her
every evening. If there are children.
says a writer in the March number of
Womanhood, the boys are taken away
from their mother, and live with the
father from their fourth birthday. The
girls live with their mother till their
marriage, which takes place at a very
early age. When the daughters marry,
a small house is built adjoining the
mothers house, in which they live. If
4 woman is left widow. Immediately
after her husbands death she plants a
Flagstaff at her door. upon which lag
is raised. So long as the flag remains
uniform by the wind, the etiquette of
Sumatra forbids her to marry. but at
the first rent, however tiny. she can
lay aside her weeds and accept the arst
offer she has.

A London scientist is exploring the
"color cure" or "chromopathy, based
on the influence on disease or morbid
states of the system which different
kinds of light waves are presumed to
exert. The modus operandi is to allow
light to pass to the patient through
glasses of different tints. Disease, says
the discoverer, shows want of har-
mony in the system-in other words,
a want of color" The main doctrine
propounded under the system is that
red is a stimulant tint, and should be
used where there is lack of tally,
while blue exerts soothing and soda
tive action. Yellow is "a capital oere-
bral stimulant." But the color curists
are not content with the action of light
alone. They think that colored rays
allowed to play on water endow that
fluid with curative properties, the wa
ter being used externally or for inter-
nal administration.

woman.s Right, In Britain.

Miss Margaret HOWE, the Scotch
woman who is trying to become the
first woman lawyer in Great Britain by
asking the courts to order the Incor-
porated Society of Law Agents to adj
NIT her to membership, is young and
prepossessing and plays golf well
enough to be put in the champion
class. For generations members of her
family have held high places at the
Scottish bar, but the conservative old
Society of Law Agents isn't anxious to
open the door of the profession to wo-
men by admitting her to membership,
for all that. If Miss HOWE succeeds in
persuading the court to make the law
agents take her into the society, new
profession, with many lucrative Offices
attached will be opened to women in
Great Britain. Women will then be-
come eligible for under sheriffs, no
taries public, and clerks of law courts
and sessions. Chicago Journal.

Uncle Sam is not only building big,
new mint in Philadelphia, but he is
making il the finest in the world. He
is also bringing it wholly up to date;
for electricity, and electricity only,
will be the power which makes the
thousands of wheels go round. Elec-
tricity is the password for every appli-
ance that knocks for entrance here,
and nothing that will not lend itself
to the energy of the dynamo can find
a resting place. The building is gil
gantic bunch of electric nerves, and the
floors of the many rooms are tatooed
with little brass plates, which mark
the spots where these vibrating nerves
may be tapped to secure the power
used in driving the machinery. Every
machine in the place will have its own
motor attached, thereby rendering its
use independent of any otner part OF
the system, making it possible to op-
crate the smanest device, both night
and day, without moving any other
part of the system.

devil-priests and many barbaric prac-

There is a curious blending of faiths
supposed to be entirely antagonistic
one to another. Especially Is this
brought out at the greatest annual fes-
tivity of Handy, assumed to be great
Buddhist ceremony, whereas it is really
all in honor of several Hindoo gods
and goddesses. the Buddhist's part be-
ing simply the nominal loan of a relic
lin truth, the loan of an empty
shrine. But seeing that the relic in
question claims to be no less treas
ure than that of a veritable tooth OF
Guatama Buddha, and is the object of
unbounded reverence to all the many
millions somewhere about 100000 0O)
who worship him, and relic for the
possession of which bloody wars have
been fought, and incredible sums of
money offered, it is perhaps not to
be wondered at the priests took good
care to lock II up securely before al
lowing its shrine to join in the process

Tho Real waIIersee.

Count Waldersee, the representative
of the German aggressiveness in Chi
ma, has had to bear the blame of so
much brutality credited to German
soldiers, and SO much warfare against
unresisting Chinese, that his name
promises to be used by the judicious
to scare children into good behavior
For how much Of what we have dis
approved in German doings in China
he is really responsible it is not pos
sible to say. but until he went to Chi
ma he was regarded as one of the most
civil and respectable persons in Ell
rope. Gen. Wilson, who saw him In
China, was most agreeably impressed
by him, and deprecated the idea that
he had countenanced atrocities. His
wife, as is we'll known. is an Ameri-
can woman, and Americans who have
visited her at home have brought
back admiring reports of the count,
who is pictured as a courteous and
agreeable gentleman, who, after a
fashion that is less prevalent in this
country than 1t once was, regularly
reads prayers every morning before
his assembled household Harper's

the sixteenth century The Dalada
Maligwa, the Temple of the Tooth,
has been year by year enriched by the
offerings of the countless throng of
pilgrims who do homage to the relic by
offering gifts Of gold and silver orna-
ments, coins, jewels, vestments for the
priests, fruit and flowers. The latter
are at all times a graceful feature of
this worship, for as none care TO appear
empty-handed before the altar of Bud
dha, there are few in all the throng OF
worshipers who have not some flowers
to offer. Among the legendary acts of
devotion we are told of one who is
said to have offered six millions of
blossoms in one day to this rapacious
tooth. Another daily offered, it is
said, 100000 blossoms all of one sort
and a different flower each day.
Externally the famous Temple of the
Tooth is not conspicuous, being
WITHIN the precincts of the old palace,
and partly concealed by the Audience
hall and the Pattipuwa, but the whole
is inclosed by a moat, with some very
ornamental stone.

That President Lincoln's famous
speech at Gettysburg was an insp!ra-
tion and that the wrote it while on
the train en- route to the battlefield
has been a popular belief for years.
A recent statement by Col. Yinglins,
whose veracity is unassailable, seems
to put the matter in an entirely differ
ent light Some years ago the colonel
met Gen. Simon Cameron at an enter
tainment. He says:
Il had there a long talk with Gen,
Cameron, and he gave me many in
cidents Of unwritten history contested
with the rebellion when he was secre-
tary of war. rhe disputes about Lin
coins Gettysburg speech came into
my mind and l asked Gen. Cameron
what he knew about it.
L know all about It, he said Mr..
Lincoln wrote that speech in the
White House several days before he
went to Gettysburg. He took great
pains in writing 1t. On visit to
him he showed it to me. 1t was writ

note paper. Receiving IL from his own
hand he asked me to read it and tell

eral localities are claimed as the places
where the speech was written. The
original was undoubtedly written in
the White House and was not sud

Wills house, nor in a hotel. What
Mr. Lincoln was seen to write outside
of the White House were copies for the
use of newspaper reporters, of whom
there were many present"

They Are Once Again Ranging tho
Country.
The brush fires of Australia. one of
the common terrors of the life of the
early settlers, have apparently lost
none OF their horror. A recent cor
respondent states that a great part Of
four states was a mass of flames and
smoke, rising from leagues of flaming
forest and burning grass. Thousands
Of miles of fencing, hundreds of farms,
wool sheds and outbuildings, scores
of wooden bridges, hundreds of hay
stacks, piles of grain, wool presses,
machinery and orchards have disap-
peared in this fiery furnace. Huge
flocks of sheep, mobs of cattle, tens of
thousands of kangaroos, wallabies. OPP
possums, fiocks of parrots and tories,
all have been burned alive in the
dreadful holocaust. Tales of terrible
races for life in coaches, carts, and
even by mounted men fill the papers,
and everywhere farmers and stock
hands fought against the fire round
the homes which held their families
like men defending beleaguered city.
The story recalls the awful fires some
thirty years ago, which reached their
hight on what was known for years
as "black Thursday" when it seemed
as II the whole colony would perish
in smoke and ashes. The ashes and
SCOT were carried by the wind over
1,200 miles of ocean, and fell in New
Zealand, as many colonists remember.

A German expert in the east points
out that as time goes on more ard
more men are required to coerce
China into doing the will OF another
power. The opium war required only
1000 Europeans, the Anglo-French
war against the Chinese 10000 AMI
1890 Indians. The Japanese needed
$4,000 men and $4,000 coolies, and to-
day we find 80 men-of-war and al
most 10000 men attempting 10 COM
