It is strange that two races working side by side should possess so many opposite traits of character. The white man has strong will and conviction and is set in his ways. He lives an indoor, monotonous life, restrains himself like a Puritan, and is inclined to melancholy. The prevalence of Populism throughout the South is nothing but the outcome of this morbid tendency. Farmers and merchants are entirely absorbed in their business, and the women, especially the married women, contrast with the women of France, German, and even England, in their indoor life and disinclination to mingle with the world outside. Public parks and public concerts, such as are found in Europe, which call out husband wife, and children for a few hours of rest and communion with their friends, are aluost unknown in the South. the few entertainments that receive sanction generally exclude all but the well-to-do by the cost of admission. the life of the peoo in town country is bleak and bare to the last degree. Contrasting with this tendency is the free-and-easy life of the blacks, the burdens of the parent and future weigh lightly upon their shoulders. they love all the worldly amusements; in their homes they are free entertainers, and in their fondness for conversation and love of street life they are equal to the Franch or Italians. May we not hope that the conflict of these two opposite races is working out some advantages to both, and that the final result will justify all that the conflict cost. "The other day, writes Henry Hopkins, from one of the Sulu islands to the Beloit Gazette," I was offered two slaves for 25 in gold. They belonged to a women who claims to be a Christain. They were a boy and girl ranging from 12 to 16. The boy had a shirt on which reached to his waist. The girl's only garment was a strip of cotton cloth wrapped about her waist. She stood up beside me and reached just to my shoulder. The woMen who owned her thought I wanted to buy her and said: Mucho beveno, or very good, and told me the girl was worth at least $ 10, and seemed prised that I did not jump at the bargain. I talked to the slaves a few words in Spanish, but could get no evidence of their being misure Had I bought teem they would have been mine to do with as I saw fit. Slavery is common in Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago. The Chinese merchants usually own one or more women whom they bought. They do not marry them as wives. The chief slave owners are the Moros. They have the right to slaves by their religion, according to Moro law, a farther has the right to sell his children; he can sell wife, and if he gets into debt, he can sell himself to pay it I have seen girls sold for one sack of rice, 100 pounds, I have known of soldiers buying girls and giving them their liberty. Not long since a female slave connected with the sultan'shousehold fell in love with one of his warrior. She was neither wife nor concubine, but servant and the warrior ask his majesty that she be given as his wife. The sultan refused, and the two ran a way and got married. They were brought back and the sultan said the man must die. the girl threw herself at the feet of the sultan and begged that she be allowed to die with her lover. the sultan consented, and the same campilan slice off two heads. According to the Koran every Mahometan has the right to as many as four wives. He also has the right to as many concubines and female slave as he wishes to take, and as a result is only limited by his means. Datto Utto is said to have sixty women in his harem, the sultan of Sulu has thirteen, all that a Mahometan has fo to get rid of a wife is to say, I divorce you'three times, and the women is sent to her parents, these Mahometans differ in many ways from the Mahometans of the Mediterranean. they are not so exclusive as to their women, who do not hide their faces from the men. they go out upon the street unyeiled, and in their rude huts there are no women quarters, but that man who touche a women outside his family is subject to a fine of $ 9, and if the wom an so touched be married, the fine is $ 105. the women who is insulted must complain at once, for if she allows the matter to rest over night the Moro law previses that she must pay half the fine. the husband has also the right to whip his wit I have been trying to find what the marriage custom of the Moros are. I find that the marriageable ag- ranges from 12 to 16 years, and that a glrl is a very old maid at 20 LACEY,O.T. J.W.Steele was in Enid last week on the Jesse Bass trial.

An ostrich farm is to be established in the suburbs of Little Rock, Ark. Thomas A. Cockburn of San Antonio, Tex., has purchased a tract of land and will take his entire supply of birds there at once. His farm is a branch of one of the celebrated California farms. Mr. Cockburn will go to Hot Springs because the climate, he says, is better suited for his business. Coal Cutting Machines. Coal Cutting Machines. Electric coal-cutting machinery is rapidly displacing hand work and other varieties of mechanical mining appliances in the collieries of Great Britain and the United States. The coal thus mined is cleaner, the waste less and the effect of the machine on the ventilation and temperature of the mine is less than with any other mechanism. Though a keen partisan in her own way and thoroughly alive to the political interests of her strenuous husband, Mrs. Roosevelt is ever careful to avoid even the appearance of taking a personal part in public affairs. For this reason she declined to become president of the national society of the Daughters of the Revolution, notwithstanding that it would be difficult to find a more eligible person. The late Masakaza Stechachi Toyama of Tokio, was the fire Japanese student of the University of Michigan, where he studied from 1873 to 1875.

Of jate the condition of the unfortunate monarch has been such that the Prin- cess Theresa and her father, the Prince of Bavaria, who at present rules the state, have been forced to forego their visit to Furstenreid, as the king now fails to recognize any one and is the ‘prey of frequent paroxysms of mad- ness, which are occasionally of great wwiolence. ‘The king spends his days dreaming wacuously and muttering incoherently when he is not smoking strong cigars. ‘His majesty, unless the weather is toc ad, daily takes a drive in the grounds and park, being accompanied by his two doctors and three keepers, one of whom sits beside the coachman, the other two standing behind the carriage ‘This precaution has been taken since the day his majesty nearly strangled ‘one of his physicians, Around Town The quarantine has beed raised Gerson ang 4b guardian of the peace feels & a bird out of a cage.

"Some women are born to daughter-in-law, some achieve daughters-in-law, and some have daughters-in-law thrust upon them. I am of the last category," said Gladys, in her whimsical way. "And really, Louise, are times when I am crushed by the weight of the unexpected boon." Mrs. Leonard looked indulgently at the dainty creature reclining in an easy chair that would have swallowed her quite but for the assertive nature of the gown that fell in airy billows on footstool and floor. Mrs. Atherton was always well dressed, as a pretty woman should be. In her flowing draperies of blue, matching the color of her eyes, with blush roses at her breast and in her red golden hair, she looked fair and young. Strangers would have set her age at seven and twenty, perhaps; but grim old Time, for once giving no hint of his vicinity, was checking off the minutes that must soon complete her avowed seven and thirty years of life. "You knew Harvey would marry some day." "Not when he was a stripling under twenty. You may say I needn't have consented to the match. Well, all my life I had given him everything he cried for if he cried long enough, so when he wanted this new toy, after making myself nearly ill by opposing him, I yielded, as usual. Beside, what could I do?" she added more seriously. "He was infatuated with Helen. When a handsome woman of twenty-five resolves to capture a boy of nineteen, it is useless to try to offset her influence. And there was the father." "You think he helped matters on?" "Yes. A quick doctor of no social standing, swamped by debt and burdened with five daughters, would use any means to see one of them advantageously married. He of course regarded Harvey as my heir, and even then he had a fine situation. Rockville has grown from a village to a manufacturing town since I came here, and well educated young men—for several years I had private masters for Harvey, as I dared not send him away to college—find no difficulty in gaining positions of trust. The boy was in advance of his age; had I opposed him he might have been persuaded into a runaway match. He thought I would forgive him anything." "I'm afraid women are not successful in rearing boys." "I know they are not. We are too intelligent, too afraid of hurting our darlings, and in the end they become our masters. Then, too, they are so accustomed to being led by a woman that they surrender to the first designating one they meet, thinking her all she seems to be. Understand, I have no fault to find with Helen in her relation to Harvey. She is a devoted wife and mother, exemplary in all her ways. She helps the poor and goes regularly to church. She is moral as—well, as a copy book, and has a trite saying for every emergency. She was the cornerstone of her shiftless father's household, and is kind enough to wish to be the entire foundation of mine." "That is where the trouble begins?" "Naturally, Phebe Tomilinson has kept my house ever since I had one to keep, and resents interference. I uphold my old servant. Helen thinks me weak, frivolous and extravagant. She has persuaded Harvey that I am a mere butterfly, unable to manage my own affairs. You know I am nothing of the kind; yet every day finds me yielding to some new encroachment. Having admitted the nose of the camel I must make room for the whole body, and be crushed to the wall unless I fight for footing. I am not brave, and rather than fight, I give way; but the time is at hand when I must assert myself or become a cipher. And I dread it." "Never mind, dear. If they go too far, come to New York. You must do so without fear now death has removed the chief cause of your Quixotic exile." Mrs. Atherton sat erect in her chair and looked cautiously about the room. "I can hardly realize I am really free from that haunting terror," she said in a lowered tone. "If our deliverance had only come before Harvey's engagement everything might have been altered." "He does not suspect?" "Oh, no! How should he? Phebe and I are the only ones who know. But you can see how many considerations forced me to countenance the marriage, and not drive the boy to extremes, lest worse should befall." "I think you were wise, Gladys. Yet, since Harvey really is married, he needs you no longer. You have lived in this quiet town long enough. As you no longer entertain, you must find Rockville very dull." Helen does not care for company," said Gladys, apologetically. "Her health was precarious last winter, and now that baby has come she dislikes to have the routine of the house disturbed. She receives only side door callers, her sisters and their friends, whom she entertains in her own apartments at any hour of the day or evening. Harvey seems satisfied with the society she provides, and has lost interest in his old associates. So I'm obliged to 'flock by myself.'" Mrs. Leonard laughed and rose to go. Well, try it for a few months Place of Andre's Execution. Maj. Andre's place of execution and the ground surrounding it in Tappan, N. Y., have been sold for non-payment of taxes by the heirs, who have entirely abandoned the property. There is talk of having the inscription obliterated and the monument taken to Nyack cemetery. If this is done all trace of the historic scene of Andre's execution may in time be lost. Most figure figure so poorly that they cannot tell when they are spending more than they earn. It is said that the following exercise will develop the lines of the figure and make walking a graceful performance: Walk on tiptoe, toes slightly outward, with the knees straight, the hands clasped tightly behind the head, elbows as far back as possible. The more tightly the hands clasp the back of the head and the farther back the elbows are held the better the result. Assisted the Pathfinder. General Juan Luis Bueron of Guatemala, who was recently in San Francisco on a visit, was a lieutenant colonel on the staff of General John C. Fremont when the pathfinder made his second trip across the Rockies. He went to Guatemala in 1879 and has a concession for a line of road over the Chucpache Mountains, around the great volcano of Santa Maria, which is 14,000 feet high. Indications point to great prosperity for the coming year. This is a sign of a healthy nature. The success of a country, as well as of an individual, depends upon health.

It is your money, Gladys," she added significantly. "Never forget that. Consider well before you make further sacrifices to an overstrained sense of duty. You should never have so immolated yourself had I known your intention in time." Mrs. Atherton did not answer as she walked with her friend to the door, encountering on the threshold a tall, handsome young woman about to enter. "Can you see me now, mother?" the newcomer asked, when Mrs. Leonard had taken her departure. "I have a little matter of business to discuss with you." Gladys hated business. She looked ruefully at her son's wife as with a great rustling of crisp skirts she took a seat at a small onyx table by the window and produced a number of neatly folded bills and receipts, with a brand new account book whose pages were headed by various names inscribed in the plainest of writing, and followed by beautifully shaped figures. Even on a check Gladys detested figures. "Harvey and I were talking over household matters last night, mother," began Helen, in the concise tones that so well matched her clear cut personality, "and decided that in future it would be best for us—you and me—to examine the tradesmen's long-drawn accounts every quarter." "Why?" asked Gladys, evidently disturbed by the suggestion. "I have perfect faith in the people I deal with." "I know you have; too much, perhaps. Our bills last quarter were very high." "There were additional persons in the house. Baby Harvey brought his own court with him," said Gladys, smiling. "However, I have no objection to you taking the accounts of Tomlinson. I never meddled with such matters in my life." "That is really nothing to be proud of, mother," replied Helen, with a deprecating smile. "As for Mrs. Tomlinson, how do we know she is not in league with the tradesfolk? Such cases are not unusual." "I would sooner suspect myself than Phebe," said Gladys, her soft voice hardening. "She has been in the family for over thirty years." "And so, if she takes what she considers her commission, regards herself safe. Really mother—" "Oh, Helen, I wish you wouldn't call me that!" cried Gladys, who found her daughter-in-law's manner unusually irritating. "Why, how else should I address you?" asked Helen, compressing her full red lips. "By my name, Gladys, or Madam Gladys, if you like. Harvey always called me so before his marriage." "A mother should not be ashamed of the proudest of all titles. I have been taught to venerate my elders." Gladys was an amiable woman, but she had a pretty one's vanity. At this allusion to her seniority over the speaker she lost her temper. "Don't be absurd!" she retorted. "There is no common sense reason why a woman of your age should venerate one of mine. When you call me mother you make us both appear ridiculous. One should regard the fitness of things." "What shall I call you then?" Helen steadily repeated. "Anything but that. Mrs. Atherton will do if you really decline my previous suggestion," said Gladys, carelessly. She was warming to the fray, and felt some pride in her new found courage. "And now I must ask you to excuse me. I ride at three." Helen methodically replaced her papers in the account book. pers in the account book. "Shall you have time to attend to this matter when you return, Mrs. Atherton?" she coldly asked. Gladys almost finched; the deliberate utterance of her name seemed like a douche of cold water. Before she had time to rally her forces the door was thrown open with the abrupt movement that indicates a perturbed spirit, and a clumsily made woman of fifty, with keen, gray eyes and a shrewd, plain face, entered. "Now, now, now, Mrs. Harvey, what are you worrying the mistress about?" she asked, in a deep voice roughened by a provincial burr. "She's not to be troubled with business." "Phebe, be quiet! I'm ashamed of you!" cried Gladys, looking even more disturbed than Helen, now covered with angry confusion. "My son's wife is at liberty to do as she pleases in these matters." "I'm not saying otherways; she's welcome to all you have, no doubt; it's her that complains of the leaks, not me; but if she wants to stop them, I'll show her where to begin. Fruit out of season, and wine and cordials, soon count up to a pretty penny." "You are insolent," said Helen, with difficulty controlling her anger. "You must be aware that what I send to my father—most of it would otherwise be wasted—is for distribution among his poor patients." CHAPTER II. Phebe grunted disbelievingly, but at an imperative sign from Mrs. Atherton left the room. "You will, I am sure, pardon Phebe's freedom of speech, Helen; she regards THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT,SATURDAY.

Indeed, I, am perfectly satisfied with things as they are in all ways. Phebe keeps the establishment as I desire it to be kept, and must be left alone. I shall not meddle with her province and I advise you not to do so. You have seen how she resents interference.” “Then you will not look at the ac- counts?” asked Helen. She had com- pletely recovered her self poise, and was again calmly assertive. “No, You really must excuse me.” “Very well. I'am sorry you consider my well meant offer interference. Do not forget that I acted on my hus- band’s suggestion.” “I have no doubt your intentions were of the best. I admit, too, that I may live extravagantly; but I have been used to luxury all my life. I like it, and Ican afford it. That, I think, covers the question.” She rose, indicating that the inter- view was at an end; but Helen had still something to say, and being a resolute young woman, proceeded to say it. “And do you owe nothing to your son and to his sons after him?” she slowly asked. “My dear father has often told me that he is but the stew- ard of his children's property; as all he has will one day be theirs, he owes it to them to limit his expenses as much as possible. Have you no such realization of a plain duty?” Gladys stood for 2 moment as it petrified; then her outraged feelings found vent in a stinging reply. “I was not aware that Doctor Blake ever had a dollar he could honestly call his own,” she said with unmis- takable contempt. Helen turned scarlet. Her anger seemed almost to suffocate her. She put her hand to her throat, which throbbed violently. Gladys "shrank from her flarce look, terrified at the demon she had stirred. But the poor doctor's daughter had learned self mastery in a trying school, and after one stormy moment was herself again, “I thank you for your kind and char- itable thought, madam,” she said calmly, and with a bow left the room, leaving her conqueror to endure what was worse than the pangs of defeat— the consciousness that she had not acted with the generosity which usual- ly characterized her every action.

Long, Sweeping Eyelashes Protect the Eye from Dust. It is upon record that great beauties in ancient days devoted much time to the care of the eyelash and brow, Some beauties do so nowadays, but many a girl who has a pretty eye could enhance its attractiveness by a little care. Long, sweeping eyelashes have been admired by poets and lovers from time immemorial and there is certainly something pretty in the long eyelash sweeping down on a fair cheek, Not only does it add to the expression, but it is a greater safe- guard to the eye from dust and dan- gerous flying particles. If the tips of the lashes be trimmed occasionally and a little vaseline or olive oil be put upon them each night, the growth will be aided very much, And then about the eyebrow—how often women are neglectful about it! Shakespeare tells us how the lover has writ a “woeful ballad to his mistress’ eyebrow,” but lovers in olden days were more appre- ciative of this feature than they are today. Eyebrows differ with every in- dividual, but if nature has not been careful to provide one with those of perfect form, much can be done to help matters. The eyebrow should extend slightly beyond the orifice of the eye at each end. Toward the temple it should terminate in @ mere line and it should be slightly broader at the other end. Upon the peculiar arch and the breadth of the eyebrow much de- pends. Delicate features require a delicate brow, while a face that is strong in character requires a bolder one. Never pull hairs out of the brow, but rather try, by careful brushing, to train them to grow as they should. A very little ofl may be used on the eyebrows to stimulate their growth, but be careful not to use it often or it may make them grow bushy. The young king of Italy, like his queen, is very fond of music. In this respect he is sad to be unique among the princes of the house of Savoy. SEATS aries ‘Marquise da Medtel, ‘The Marquise da Medict whom Ma- Jor Eldredge of the Eighth Massachu- setts regiment is to marry, is a de- scendant of old Lennardo Da Medici, patron of art and learning, and of all the other great Medicis who made the Florence of old the greatest city of the day. Major Eldredge is now on the ocean en route to Italy. The mother of the marquise was Edith Story, daugh- ter of W. W. Story,the American sculp- tor. ‘When the Head Is Injured. In all injuries to the head the pa- tlent must be in a state of complete quiet. Ice water should be kept con- stantly ebout the head and the room should be somewhat darkened. The head should be elevated, placed upon rather firm pillows instead of soft ones. The dressing about the head should be just enough to support and Protect the wound from draughts of cold, without being heating.

I tried many so-called remedies, but they did me no good. 1 saw an advertisement of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills, and I bought some, and com- menced to use them at once. I had not been taking them three days before I began to improve. For years I had not had one good night's sleep, and before the first box of the Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills were all used, I could sleep all night without pains. I am now completely cured, and have not a pain or ache left. 1 cannot recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly, for they are unexcelled as a kidney rem- edy.

I had always supposed these affections .to be different diseases, but I have learned from Dr, Hartman’s books that these affections are the same and are properly called catarrh. “As tor Dr, Hartman's remedy, Pe- runa, I have found it to be the best, if not the only reliable remedy for these affections. «“Peruna has been my stand-by for many years, and I attribute my good health and my extreme age to this remedy. It exactly meets all my requirements. “I have come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. I believe it to be especially valuable to old people.” Isaac Brock. Catarrh {fs the greatest enemy of old age. A person entirely free from ca- tarrh is sure to live to a hale and hearty old age.
