Speaking of the social conditions of the country, a few words may be said concerning the state of woman in this region. Her social condition Is pitiable in the extreme, fat worse than the animals of her lord and master's herds, for they at least, with mercenary motive, are treated humanely. The servitude of woman is, in fact, the corner stone of society; from the moment of her birth until death fortunately relieves her sufferings she is condemned to a state infinitely more degrading than slavery. When one has viewed her horrible condition cne can understand the little compunction which exists here regardsuicides causing ing greater reduction of the population than almost ail other causes J CI - ) M d une: ill it Plants That jumble Have Made History more than sixty years ago a fungus itself a plant appeared tnere.

Mystery Which Agitated Swiss Canton Is Cleared Up For some time past the Inhabitants of Oron, In the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, have been agitated by tbe nightly wanderings of a ghost. Some few have attempted to solve the mystery, but the majority have, with Swiss superstition, accepted the ghostly visitor as a token of past crime or coming disaster. Two days ago a Mo zleres gendarme, while making his rounds, came upon the supposed ghost in a secluded forest path. It proved to be a girl of about 15 years of age, dumb and partially an Idiot. She wore to clothes beyond a portion of old sacking, roughly tied across her body, which was covered with thick and tangled hair. She was taken to the village, where her appearance has created a sensation. Her feet are covered with thick, horny skin. She is unable to walk In shoes, and can only go up and down stairs on all tours. Whence she has come or how long she has existed in a wild state Is unknown.
