IN BONDAGE THROUGH DEBT.

i The Peculiar System of Slavery That
 Exists on the Plantations of Yuca- tan.
 strange system of slavery which prevails on the plantations of Yucatan IS described in paper recently prepar- eel for the department of labor by Pro- lessor Walter E. Weyll. "On the sisal srass plantations of Yucatan he writes, are to be found numerous bod ies of peons, called "criados. or sir Vientes, who, with their families, live on the plantations, and, in many cases, have been born there. These criados are bound to the soil by indebtedness, for, although a mere contract to per form certain service does not impose specific performances, it is held in Yu- 2atan that when an advance payment has been made, either the repayment of the money or in default thereof the specific performance may be exacted. This theory works itself out in the fol- lowing manner:
 Upon reaching early manhood, at IS or 20, the young Yucatecan, in order to be enabled to marry. borrows from $100 to $200 from his patron. It is not ex- pected that he will ever repay this debt, and no effort is made to either repay of reduce it. On the contrary, it Is usually increased from time to time through oc- casional nisfortunes which befell the peon or his family through additional advances made by the planter. The amount of the debt thus represents the cost of an emancipation which is not desired or attempted esnnciaJIU ac if may represent the gross wages of sev- eral years.
 The peons on the sisal grass planta- tons receive, as rule, about 30 cents a day and rations worth perhaps 25 cents day, together with a certain amount of land, which they may till on their free days. They also receive, as a rule, medicine and medical attendance in

 The subject of hygiene in general, as we'll as the hysienic principles involved in the care of the individual in his ev- eryday life, has taken a most important position in the public mind, and has been developed to such an extent in the last decade of the century just past that the results to-day were hardly dreamed of fifty years ago. Hygiene has been elevated to an important sci ence, and military hygiene is an essen tial branch of military science.
 One of the principal problems to be solved by sanitary science is supplying a gGod drinking water, and this not only for permanent barracks and quarters of troops in time of peace, but also for permanent barracks and quarters of troops in time of peace but also for the cid in time of war.

A VALUABLE MEDICINE For Coughs and Colds in Children.

''I have not the slightest hesitancy in recommending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to all who are suffering from coughs and colds.' says Chas, M. Cra- mer, Esd, a well known watchmaker of Colohbo Ceylon. Tt has been some two years since the City Dispensary first called my attention to this valu- able medicine, and I have repeatedly used it and it has always been bene- fiCial. It has cured me quickly of all chest colds. It is especially effective for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them of hoarse- ness. l have persuaded many to try thi8 valuable medicine, and they are all ds well pleased as myself over the results. For sale by all druggists.

The Educational amendment to be
voted on Nov. 4, has unfortunately
been misrepresented: some of the OPP
position may be sincere and some not.
Its positive changes in the present law
are.
l. 1t changes term of Office OF the
state superintendent to four years in
stead of two years, the term to begin
in July, the beginning of the school
year, instead of 10 January.
,. 1t changes the time OF election OF
superintendent from November to
April. when it is hoped state politics
will not overshadow school affairs.
3. 1t gives the legislature power to
change the time OF election of county
superintendent from fall to spring.
4. 1t gives legislature authority to
fix qualifications and salary of state
superintendent, his salary being the
insufficient sum OF $1,000.
For the past forty years the legisla-
ture has made special appropriations
for the superintendent, but in the
event of the defeat of this amendment
no such appropriations will be allow

changes in the present law advisable,
it will be your duty to vote for the
