We shall not be ready for female
suffrage in this country, and we shall
not even have in all things a self.re

women and The unwtIt.en Law.
New York World.

If the dominant women who seek to
establish female suffrage are inclined
to promote the equality of their sex
socially and legally they should first
of all destroy The unwritten law.
After all has been said and DONE
the unwritten law presupposes that
women are the property of men. They
have no standing in court. Men who
wrong them are to be killed not SC
much because they have wronged
them as because some other man as
sumes that he has been wronged.

SHOPPING IN GREENLAND.
East Coast Natives Make Trips Last
 ing Four Years.

When the Greenlander of the east coast goes a-shopping. it is no light matter of day or week. The snow hut holder of the far north, on finding that his supplies are running low, packs up his belongings and walks off, with his wife and family. He keeps on walking, summer and winter, for it takes him anywhere from one to two full years to reach a settlement where there are shops. Whole colonies some times join in these pilgrimages from their northern dwelling places, camp ing by the way as weather and inclina- ton permit One might suppose that such protracted journeys would be fol- lowed by long stays at the place of business. Not so. The Eskimo spends little more time over the shopping for which he has come so far than does a woman bargain hunter at the periodical drapery sales with us. Sometimes two hours finish the transactions, and the purchaser will start on his long return journey northward. The fine bea- and fox skins which he has brought with him are bartered for secondhand clothes, tobacco. old iron and many articles not only valueless. but actually injurious to the buyer. A life which can afford a four years shopping trip now and again does not strike one as overstrenuOus.-London Scraps.

SPORT IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
Hawking Then One of the Most Popu-
 lar Forms of Hunting.

Tar ToFT15 OT TIuHtIH9s
 Have you ever noticed a hawk soar Ing and floating high up against the sky? Have you seen him busy ap. parently in embroidering wonderful pattern of loops and curves, putting in a wing beat here and long float there, and then suddenly, without a moments warning, seem fairly to drop to the ground, pause moment and then rise slowly and fly to some near by tree?
 The splendid flight was made with purpose. He was looking out for his prey and when he saw with his keen eyes some field mouse scamper- ing across field, or tiny bird cow ering in bush, or picking up meal among the grass, he fell from the sky, seized the little creature and took it off in his talons to eat it at leisure in some convenient tree.
 This method of pursuing his prey was taken advantage of in the middle ages and later times to provide for 1ildu OIc OI llS uloSL pOpuldI IOluuo of hunting. The birds were chosen with greatest care, each kind was trained to hunt for his own particu- lar sort of prey, and great parties of lords and ladies, followed by many at- tendants, rode out into the fields and marshes to "fly" their birds, as they called it, and watch them "strike their quarries." ."-N. Hudson Moore in St. Nicholas.

Women have SO much to go through in life that it is a pity there is so much needless suffering from backache, headache, dizziness, lan- guor and other common aches and ills of kidney complaint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trou- ble. They have so much indoor work to do, so much lifting. bending and stooping: they are bound by custom to tight. heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise, and any little cold may bring on kidney weak ness

THE PLAGUE IN INDIA.

Most Appalling Horror That Has Ever Been Recorded.' The greatest catastrophe the world has ever known is in progress at this present moment, and the world recks little or nothing of 1t.
 This is the plague epidemic in India, which has now been raging for more than eleven years and which, so far from showing any tendency to die out, keeps steadily increasing in intensity. Thus during the six weeks ended May Il last 4s1,S92 persons perished from it, or at the rate of over sO,0OO deaths a week.
 Nothing approaching the appalling horror represented by these figures has ever been recorded before. The near est to 1t was in 1905, when during the last week in March the epidemic was responsible for 57,7O2 deaths.
 No pestilence of ancient or modern dmes of which we have any knowl- edge has slain so many millions of peo- pie as has this one, and the end of which, mind, is not yet ...
 The "great plague" of London, for example, about which everybody has heard, killed at the outside some SO,- GOO people in seven months, or about as many as are dying weekly in India from a disease which is identical with 1t in every respect
 The "black death" is said to have slain one-third of the then population of England-say 1,500, ,OOO persons-but this is doubtful. Even admitting the correctness of the estimate, however, the mortality of the present epidemic in India has already more than dou- bled this huge total.
 What will be the end no man can foresee or venture to forecast It may be that all that has gone before and all that is happening now, inexpressi- bly, awful though it is, is but the pre- Jude of worse to follow. - Pearson's Weekly.

THE GREAT RACHEL.
Fondness of the Famous Actress For
 Scarfpins.


 Scarfpins.
 A rather comical story relating to the great Rachel and at one time her de- voted admirer, Prince Demidoff, runs this way:
 It seems that upon the occasion of the princes visits to the charming actress she would often greet him in playful mood and while criticising his attire. which was the special object of his thought, would draw from his necktie the pin which secured it, a cameo, topaz, ruby or whatever 1t might chance to be, and place it in her pincushion or upon her corsage This habit greatly amused the prince, it seemed so childish and such a mis- chievous act, and it really added 10 her charm fin his eyes. One day. how ever, he called wearing sort of stock, and consequently had no jewel.
 The observant maid noticed that there was no pin in the tie of Demi- doff, and when she announced him to his mistress mentioned the fact. Tt is the prince. but he wears a stock" Then say am out" replied Rachel. Finding himself refused an inter- view. the prince set about learning the real reason. It nightly amused him, and thereafter he never appeared with out the bauble that had always proved the sesame to the great actress pres Journal.

The Poet Shelley.

Shelley lived with ardor among ideas. aspirations and passions in
 which there was something at once irresponsible and abstract. He follow ed every impulse, without choice or re- straint. with the abandonment of a leaf in the wind. "Oh, lift me as a wave. a leaf. a cloudw was his prayer to the west wind and to every infiu- ence. Circumstances meant so little to him that he was unconscious of the cruelty of change to sentiment. and thus of the extent of his cruelty to women. He aimed at moral perfec- ton. hut was really of a perfect aes- thetic selfishness. He was full of pity and generosity and desired the libera- tion and uplifting of humanity. but humanity was less real to him than his own witch of Atlas. He only touch ed human action and passion closely fin a single one of his works. and he said of "The Cenci:" 'T don't think much of 1t. My object was to see how I could succeed in describing passions I have never felt"-Arthur SymOns fin Atlantic.

POISONED GLOVES.
They Had Their Home In Italy With
 the Borgias and Medicis.

They Had Their Home In Italy with
 the Borgias and Medicis.
 Perfumed gloves have contributed largely to the bright and cruel side of romance, of fact and of fiction. They had their home in Italy, the home of the Borgias and De- Medicis, and it is said, with how much truth will never be known, that many an untimely death was caused by wearing perfum- ed gloves whose scented palms con cealed a deadly poison. It seems to have been a favorite pastime of the notorious Alexander VI. and of his more notorious son, Caesar Borgia, to invite friend to dine, show him every attention as guest, present him with a beautiful pair of perfumed and poi soned gloves and next day send flowers to his funeral, accompanied by little note, polite, but firm, requesting the immediate transference of all the prop erty of the deceased to the coffers of the BOrgias.
 There is an interesting and very ugly story of a famous poisoner of the if teenth century. |ho confessed under the water cure to having murdered for a consideration about fifteen people by means of poisoned gloves. The poison she employed was so slow in taking effect that for years she remained un- discovered and finally came to grief through her own foolish boasting.- Kansas City Star.

FOLK ASSA|LS TARIFF.
Governor Puts Special Privileges
 at Head of Evils.
A GRAFT AND FALSE PRETENSE
Declares That "It Is Hardly Practicable to Suppress Trusts With One Hand While Other Is Feeding Them With Milk of Protection."

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 25.-Speaking before the homecomers at a banquet at the Tennessee state fair on Democrat ic Ideals," Governor Folk of Missouri said:
 "The prospect for the success of Democratic ideas was never brighter than now. By Democratic ideas I mean those principles embraced in the expression, Equal rights to all, special privileges to none.'
 "A political revival is going on all over the land today on this subject. The elimination of special privileges is the paramount issue before the people of this country. The public conscience, having seen that the privilege of law lessness is destructive of the liberties of a free people, has commenced to assail the deeper evil of privileges con- ferred by law.

Tariff. Mother of Trusts.

Until tariff privileges are eradicat- cd the trust question can never be set tied. It is well enough to prosecute the trusts. and it is still better to put some of the heads of trusts in stripes for violating the law. but it is hardly practicable to suppress the trusts with one hand while the other is feeding them with the milk of protection on which they grow fat and arrogant Those who enjoy special privileges con demn government supervision of pub lie service corporations as being de- structive of individual effort. and vet they incOnsistently contend that they cannot stand alone and must have the support of tariff privileges.
 When the privileges conferred by law. such as the protective tariff. come to be regarded fin their true light as moral questions. in that they are op- posed to the welfare of the people. al doubt as to how they will be deter mined when submitted fairly and hon estly to the people must disappear. fo inc people will always do right whei. they know right The doctrine of equal rights means that instead Of protecfIna monopoly against the peOT1e the people should be protected against monopoly.
