Nine-tenths of the women of the world are
afflictedwith some of the con.pilaits tatmi
larly known as "Female listasea," or "W on:b
Troubles." There is scarcely a family buthas
an idolized daughter, a cheri-hed sister, or a
dearly loved mother who suffer, agones that
are endured in silence to protect her mccd'sty
Proper treatment is postponed from month to
month by dread of a ph:;sicians' humi.ia;ing

these dangerous diset-es can be succe-fullY
.reated at home, but there is wi:le- pread ig
norance among even the most i:teillizent
classes of women regarding their naitur.t
functions and or'ans of generation. owing to
so little Information having been publishett :n
regard to this subject and a modesty that
shrinks from investgation such a disagreea

ALL, angular and
peculiarly plain,
she was the wife of
a Queensland Bush
Carrier ; and it is,
" : < ; I believe, an ac
; -F" - cepted fact that
- ladies of that sta
- tion are not noted
' ' ' either for their
culture or their re
finement.
Craw'.iu with heavily-ladened bul
I. wag7ons across plains and never
en,in sernUs would not appear to be
an existence possessed of many
enarms, and vet I believe there is no
e se on record of a man or woman
who, having once served his or her ap
prlesipll to the trade, has ever re
turne.? to a civilized life again.
Jn the Queenland Bush carrying
trade, von must understand, there are
three main arteries, the townships of
Hu henden. Longreach and Charle
ville, and from each of these places
there flows continually a stream of
enormous table-topped wagons, bound
for stations in the Great West, ali
more or less remote from what is
,enrai.y supposed to make life worth
living.
Te existence of the carrier is rough
to a terrib!c degree, and must in no
way be confounded with that of the
respectable, jog-trot class who ply
their trade in English rural districts.
Small wonder that the women grow to
be hard and rough, consorting, as they
do, with none but the sternest of the
opposite sex, and daily dloing work
that would test the patience and en
durance of the strongest man. These
are some of the folk who in reality do
the bilding up of our colonies, al
though the credit goes to another
noisier, uglier and far less useful class.
U ut to get back to my story.
As I have said at the bcginning, she
was iali, angular and peculiarly plain,
and, in spite of the glaring incongruity
of it, it must bc recorded that her
Ibaptismal name was Daphne. Her
husband was a carrier on the Hid
geLrse-Kalaba trach, and she was at
once the brain and the mainstay of his
IMy 1irst acquaintance with them
occurred ou the edge o f a Boree scrub,
a dismal place, and more than a han
dred ies removed from either of the
above townships. They were eamnped
bieside abig water hole, and on dis
mounting froma my horse I was intro
dneed by the carrier, with becomlig
ceremony, to his wife. Great were
the proofs of friendship they showe,d
to me, and long will I cherish the
memory of that rough but hearty hos
pitality. Next morning I went my
way, thev theirs, and it was not for
nearly a year that we met again.
Wueu next I hearda of them, Daphne
was in the township hospital, recover
ing from a. serious accident occasioned
ba fall from the wagon; and her
husband, an enormously built man,
mt roug;h manner, which, by those
uuskilledm in sneh matter. might easily
have been rmistanken for insolence, had
thast very day returned with loading
from the west. By inquiring after his
wi'', whose illness I was aware of, I
touched the right string; for his eyes
lit up, his voice softened and he an
swered my questions with surprising
"Sh was getting on well,'' he sal2.
'1but all the same, it was temrble slow
I w, it must be known here that
althuough the Kalaba Hospital occupies
the best position in the township, even
theu" it in, if anythi ng, a little less
cheerful than an undertaicer's show
rome. Great gray plains surround it
ont thre ides; the townsi,ip, with its
ugly whnit ewashed roofs, stares at it
from the fourth ; an-l it would be i
possible to say which view would be
ikely to have the most depressing
e et upon an invalid. I am told that
K's ala was only designed as a depot
- or the Great West. and I contole my
self with the reflection that in the
very near future the Overland Riailway
will obviate that necessity, and then
it will be scattered to the four wintm
of heaven. At p)resent it is the Deca
'ogue tur ned backward.
W~Xhern my business was finished I
tod1e up to thle hosp'ital and left some
newspapers. Daphne betng the only
patient, I found her occupying the
best bed in the only ward. Her wiry
bhekt ';air traggled in rank confnsion
*bo"t the ii!ow, while her complecx

ta''ned skin woubd permit, with the

A crowd of nearly a thousand people
wthed a man drown in Los Angeles
to ay and was powerless to help him.
Ri aewas Thomas Reynclds, and
ne wvas a laborer for a sewer building
on Los Angeles street. near Boyd.
Th scene was the most agonizing that
can he imagined.
At about .9 o'clock Reynolds was
working in a new sewer that is build
ing directly underneath an old brick
one. The grouind is roft there and
Reynolds was caught by a small cave
i. His legs were pi nioned by the
falling earth, but no one thought his
situation serious. A rooc was mnade
fast to him and an attempt was made
to pull him out, but his shovel had
fallen across his feet, and it was soon
~een that he would have to be dug
out.
The work was at once begun. Suid
denly, to the horror of the great crowl
that had assembleri, the old bricc
sewer right over the wretched man's
head burst and a l.arge stream of water
owed into the excavation, gradually
driving the reseners out. A fira engine
was sent for, and attempted to pump
the inflow of water cut, but it proved
of no avail.
The man was doomed and nothing
could be cdone for him. He was up
right in the hole and the water soon
reached his waist. For the first time
he realized that he would die. Inch
by inch the fluid rose, and the poor
fellow lost his nerve and commenced
to utter the most heartrendering
shrieks and appeals for help. -The
streets became blocked with people,
and as the news spread of what was
going on in that hole the crowd be
ae frantic with a desire to save the
man. But absolutely nothing could
be done to succor him. The water
reached the throat, then the chin,
thea a ripple struck his lips. The
watchers at the brink of the hole
tured their faces away and
groaned as a last despairing shriek
came from the victim. His arms beat
the water back frantically and then

An Interesting Experiment.
A German publication gives the fol

very amusing and interesting experi
met: ''Take a lighted stearin candle
and hold it horizontally over a wide
glass filled with water. The drops of
meltea stearin, when they strike the
surface of the cold water. will be
formed into hemispherical cups and
float on the water. These forms often
take the shape of the flower of the
common Maybell, and can be made
smauller or larger, as pleases, by drop
ping the melted stearin :from a less or
a greater height. When a sufficient
number of such bells have been made,
take a slender iron wire and cut it
into sections, of which one end is
curved, then warm the straight end
of each by holding it in a flame and
thrust it through one of the wax bells
so that the wire passes quite throg.igh
the bell, leaving it hanging at the
crved end, where it rempins fixed
when cool, looking strikingly like the
Maybell flower when the wire is held
curved end upward. In the eame way
all the hemispherical cups are treated,
and finally the single flowers are com

little tremor in his voice, as he bent
over her, "an' 'ow's it with ee now?
Ye looks better by a good sight !"
She gave a little sigh before she re
plied.
"'m neatly well, now, Bill; bet
ter'n I 'ave been by a long chalk. Sit
ye down, old man, and tell ne 'ow it
it goes with the children an.' the
team !"
Bill sat very gingerly on the edge of
the bed, and ks if out of compliment
to the peculiar cleanliness of the place,
fell to scrubbing his face with a flar
ing red cotton handkerchief.
"The kids is :?, and the team's first
olass:" he answered.
Then with a gesture of almost awe,
he assumed possession of one of the
thin brown hands upon the coverlet.
"My lass, 'ow dog poor yer 'ands
has got, to be sure; but they was al
ways pretty 'ands to my thinkin'."
Daphne patted his great brown paws
and allowed a little wan smile of grati
fied vanity to flicker across her face.
Let the woman be ever so old and
plain, shs is never beyond the reach
of a compliment from the man she
loves.
"An' 'ow's the roads lookin' out
back?" she asked.
"Al, an' no mistake; green as a lel
all the way. From here to Kidgeree
Creek there's water in every hoi", an
the little wild flowers yer used to like
is that thick along the track yer can
hardly see the grass for 'em. ]
brought yer some !"
Out of the lining of his big cabbage
tree hat he took a tiny bunch of Bush
bluebells and placed them in her hand.
It was a critical moment for both of
them. He was acutely afraid of ridi
cule ; she, for some reason she could
not have explainecl, did not know
whether to laugh or cry.
She laid the flowers on the table by
her bedside, and then turne-l to her
husband, the better to express her
thanks.
"Bill," she said softly. "you was
alis a good chap to me !'.
"Nay, nay, my laCs, you nusti 'f
say that. You don't know 'ow w0
misses yer out yonder ; things ain't the
same at all without yu. 1tke 'aste
an' get well un' come back to the 'i-lc
an' me, au' let's get out of this 'ere
town."
"Bill! 1 shan't ha--"
'"Shan't be what, lass?"
He looked rather anxiously down at
;-er.
"I shan't be-" The weak voice
paused as if to think of a word, then
ec seemed to choke, and ::fter that a
painful silence ensued.
Finally she said:
"I--I shan't be long."
Bill gave a sigh of r:;iei and coa
tinued:
"I'm 'avin' new tires put on tc
forewbeels, an' we've got the new pair
o' steers in place o' Biilabong au'
Blossom that were too oi-l fo; work.
We've got fall loa<in' out to th.; Di -

"No. old man; the doctor says I'll

"That's the talk ! 'We ' campled

an' be where a man's got room to
breathe !"
"Why, Bill1, I never 'eard yer talk
so before ! It's like what the parson,
who comes here every Monday, calls
poetry !"
There was an ocean of pathos in the~
man's reply:
"Yer see, old girl, I must talk a bit
different, for yer ain't never been ill
like this afore !"
Another long silence fell upon the
pair. Then he rose to say goodlby,
and his wife's face grew, if possible,
paler than before.
"'Bill!" she began falterin;ly, "'ve
been a-tryin' all tac timie yer've been
here to tell yer somethin', but I dun
no how to begin. It's this way-"
"Out wi' it, my less. What's wrong ?
Ain't they been a-treatin' yer well i
":It's not that, Bill," she answered,
"But there-I can't tell you. Flesh
and blood couldn't, let alone yer wife.
You must just ask the doctor, when
yer get outside, if 'e's got anythin' to
my agin' me wailin' with the team,
will yer?'
"If yer says so. in course. But,
Daphne, there ain't nothin' agi'n it,
is there?"
"You ax him; 'e'll tell yet, Bill.
But 'ere's the matron comin'; I guess
yer'd better be goin'. Tell them kid
dies their mother ain't forgot 'em !"
Raising herself with an effort, she
pulled the big man's tangled hes..1
down to her, and lkissed him on the
forehead with a gentleness that would
have been grotesque, if the sentiment
that prompted it had not been so
grewsomely pathetic. Then, ats the
matron approached the bed, he went
down the corridor to find the house
surgeon.
The latter, I may tell you. was a
rough man, embittered by hard work
and insufficient returns ; the position
of house surgeon in a Bush hospital
being but little sought after by the
shini,g lights of the profession.
When Daphne's husbaud entered he
was engaged writing to the Board, de
manding for the sixth time, an in
rease in his meagre salary.
He looked up, and, seeing the man
before him, said roughly:
''Well, what do you want?"
The carrier shuffled from one foot
"Beg yer pardin, sir. an' sorry for
interruptin'; but the missu.s axed me
to ax you if it were likely yer'd have
any objection to 'er walkia' alongside
the team when she comes out?"
"Whose missus?-Oh! I under
stand; the woman in the ward there.
Walk beside the team? Good heav
ens, man! What are you talking
hot ? Are you mad? How on earth
can she walk beside the team?"
"I mean, in course, sir, when she's
well enough to come out."
"Well enough to come out? Why,
man alive ! she's as well now ss ever
she will be. It was compound frae
!'cre of both femur, and a double
amutation. She hasn't a leg to stand
o, much less to walk with! No!

The Imn&yigra!ion Figuras.
While there are some facts in the I
current statistics of onr National
progress which can be considered only
as indications or prosperity, there are
others which must be acceptefl even
by the most obtuse of ciiamity
howlers as proofs of prosperity.
Among those, for instance. are the
figures from Washington giving the
statistics of immigration for the cur
rent year. Two statements sullico to
tell the story. During Scptc:nb-r,
1815, the arrivals were ,59. o-:iinst
24,901 in Sep tn.ber ,18J. Fur the
nine months cuding witLh Sept.embcr
:>0 the fiures are 21,3,32 for ii03,
against 1'J.,483 for 189j.
tu other i ords, witie iua:nigration
is increasing the increase i: more rapid
at the latest reported date thau for
any preceding period. As the more
ment of immigration is not ca+,sed by
any distros or trouble in Europe it
must be due wholly to better times in
this ecuutry.
It is safe to say that these figures
will not be referred to by Messrs. Mc
Kinlcy and Forakcr in their calamity

An Extraordinary Beggar.
At Bilboa, Spain, a beggar died
lately at the age of one hundred and
three years. There are said to be quite
a number of centenarians in the land
of the .lidalgos, and the beggar's
death would hardly have been deemed
worthy of public notice if the autopsy
of his body had uct dislosed the very
extraordinary ft-; that the deceased
Lazarus was aconsunptive for cctain
lv not less than half a century.-New
York World.
A Woman Hermit.
A short time ago a lady in Paris
care violently insane on the str
and was sent to the asylum. H, -
apartments in the Rae Rambuteau
fine ones, for which she paid an an
nual rent of $100-were then visited.
An intolerable stench pervaded them.
The demented woman had completely
"tinned" them with empty sardine
boxes, which emitted the peculiar per
fume. There were four cartfals of
these odorous boxes.
