vey information, and moral truths and sent-

be commended to our women. y

cannot fill her lungs, and so exercise puts
her out of breath and exhausts her. She
cannot stoop or turn, or pick up pin even
without sense of restraint or awkward
ness. At night when she takes off her
instrument of torture there are great welts
and red creases in her flesh. And so the

The Cotton Fabrics of India.

AnEnglish writer says: The marvel
GUS delicacy of touch possessed by the
Indian woman eounterbalances the in
feriority of Indian cotton in weaving
the fine and delicate cottons to which
the names of "webs of woven air.
"dews Of night" running waters"
ETC., are given by the natives. They
now use the spinning-wheel generally
for the ordinary fabrics, but the spindle
still holds its place in the hands of the
Hindoo women when employed in
spinning thread for the finer muslins.
For these the Hindoo woman first cards
her cotton with the jawbone of the
boalee fish; she then separates the
seeds by means of small iron roller,
worked backward and forward upon a
fiat board. An equally small bow is
used for bringing it to the state of a
dowry fleece, which is made up into
small rolls, to be held in the hand dur
ing the process of spinning. The APP
paratus required for this consists of
delicate iron spindle, having small
ball of clay attached to it in order to
give it sufficient weight in turning, and
embedded in little clay is piece of
hard shell, on which the spindle turns
with the least degree of friction. Very
great attention is paid to temperature
of the air during the process of spin
ming, and the spinners in the dry
climate of the northwest of India actu-
ally work underground in order to Sc
cure moist and uniform atmosphere.

A Word for the Babies.

The season that tries children's souls
and bodies-is at hand. The cold,
damp season of early spring, with its
penetrating breezes that chill the entire
system and generate incipient Group, is
already here, and it behooves anxious
parents to be on the alert, if danger,
and perhaps death would be averted.
Too many parents find their children's
lives cut off by the want of little care.
Group always originates in cold, and
in most cases the cold is caused from
exposure to dampness, either of the
clothing or of the atmosphere. In
many cases the primary cause is INSULT
Gent or improper clothing. Especially
is this SO with little girls. On this point
great responsibility lies with the
mothers, and when child loses its
life either from the wilful ignorance of
its parent or the wilful following of a
fashion that leads to that result, what
is it but inviting death? Let mothers
become strong in common sense and
resolve to raise their children, rot to
bury them. Let them remember, also,
that though sickness may sometimes be
called "sent from God'' in the true
sense, that which is forced upon help
less child is nothing less than crime.

An American Tichborne Case.

Some one has recalled a case that &C.
CURED in Georgia, about twenty-five
years ago, that has several striking
points of likeness to the Tichborne
suit. The Georgian prototype Of Sir
Roger was one Jesse Bunkley, one
of several children of a wealthy
man living in Jones county. Jesse
seems to have resembled the baro-
net in his wild, wayward habits.
and, like him, he at last disappeared
from sight. Several years afterward,
nothing having been heard of him in
the meantime, his father died, leaving
portion of his property to Jesse in
case, he should ever be found. Then
there was another interval of several
years, when at last man appeared who
represented himself to be the missin Q
one. He explained his absence by say
ing that he went to Texas, the American
Australia, where he had resided since
his disappear ance, and where the news
of his fathers death had just reached
him. His resemblance to Jesse Bunkley
was generally acknowledged by the old
acquaintance of the family, and Mrs.
Bunkley recognized him as her son.
Tne most convincing fact in support of
his claim was his familiarity with places,
persons and incidents that it seemed
impossible that any one else should
have known. Then, as in the Tichborne
case there was the evidence of scars on
the body of the claimant, which CORES
ponded exactly with those on the per-
son of the missing one. But his claim
was contested, and long trial ensued
in which public sentiment was about
evenly divided. At the close, however.
the jury returned a verdict adverse to
the plaintiff. Then he was put on trial
for perjury, was convicted, and served
term in the State prison. No explana-
ton is furnished as to how he was able
to concoct such an ingenious and
plausible imposition.

mates made of the cost of reporting and pub
