The Trufil-TPIIer

IL is worth while now and then tC
have what is called the truth told you
about yourself. There are times when
such truth telling is of great and imme-
diate service. But | have noticed that
persons who plume themselves upon
speaking the truth TO their neighbOrs
are persons who really have no special
devotion 10 truth, but who have, on the
other hand, passion for making people
uncomfortable. They do not love their
neighbors; they hate them, or are in
different to them. With them so-called
truth telling is merely a form OF self
indulgence.
How would it do, the next time the
village truth-teller comes around, for
you to tell the truth TO him:
''kind friend. thank thee for telling
me that my daughters manners are
rude, and that my uncle, the parson,
should be spoken to about his method
of public prayer, and that my Sunday
best-go-to-meeting stove-pipe hat is two
seasons behind the times; but let me re-
ciprocate thy kindness by informing
thee that thou art selfish old gossip,
without enough brains TO perceive the
whole truth about any situation, but
only silly half-truth, or a miserable
distorted-truth, which, from the best of
motives, advise thee to keep to thyself.

Sagacity of a Circus Horse

Without depreciating modern estab-
lishments of this kind, our recollections
go back to Astley's Amphitheatre, neal
Westminster Bridge, As it used to be,
thirty or forty years ago, under the
management of the late Mr.. Ducrow
The feats there performed by some OF
the horses were exceedingly wonder,
full. The animals seemed to possess 4
degree of human intelligence. They
were accomplished actors. Their
powers of stimulation with a view to
entertain spectators went far beyond
what any one could expect whose
knowledge is confined to the ordinary
class of horses. We will mention a few
particulars regarding the horses at
Astley's As they occur to our memory.
One evening the performance repre-
sented house on fire. All the inhab-
itants of the dwelling had managed 10
escape except lady in an upper story.
You saw her at window throwing
about her arms wildly, and screaming
for help. Her appeals to the assem-
bled crowd beneath were heartrending.
The firemen could not reach her, for
the stair was seemingly in blaze, and
there was no fire-escape. The specta-
tors i'll the theatre were wrought up to
an agony, it being but too evident that
the poor lady was doomed TO perish by
a painful and violent death. In the
midst of the commOtion horse which
belonged to the lady rushed upon the
stage. In its stable it heard the screams
of its mistress, and hastened to do its
best TO save her. Without saddle or
bride it was seen to rush into the house
and climb the stair amid flames and
volumes of smoke. 1t reached the
apartment where the lady was. She
mounted on its back, holding by the
name, and the horse, descending the
stair, brought her safely to the ground.
Prolonged shouts of applause rewarded
the hazardous exploit. The whole
thing was beautiful piece of acting,
evoking throughout sentiments of
pleasure and admiration. Nothing but
kindness and long training could have
made the horse so clever in knowing
what to do and doing it so well. The
feat was the more surprising as horses
usually have dread of fire which is
not easily conquered. IT will be under
stood that the fire had been so adroitly
as to effect no injury on the
theatre, and that there never had been
any real danger.-Ckan,Jer's Journal.

has such a direct influence in promot-
ing longevity as an assurance, felt 10 De
well grounded. of comfortable provis-
ion for life, for all the ordinary wants
of our station. Not long ago man
died in poor-house in England, where
he had been taken care Of for ninety
wears; he had no anxieties for to-mor-
rows bread; he had no quarters day
TO provide against, in default Of which
wife and children would be turned into
the street from the doors of the elegant
brown stone mansion. He had no note

day or an hour would involve protest
and financial ruin. All, this load OF
debt, how it grinds ones manhood TO

heart: how il shames mans honor;
how it has driven TO desperation, to
drunkenness, TO suicide, 10 murder
How the anguish of it takes the energy
and health out of a man, and makes
him pine and languish for weary days

So, one good way to avoid sickness and
premature death is TO avoid debt

DIR. Cid, an inventive surgeon of
Paris, noticed that elderly people, who
for long time have worn eyeglasses
supported on the nose by spring, are
apt to have this organ long and thin.
This he attributes to the compression
which the spring exerts on the arteries
by which the nose is nourishcd. The
idea occurred to him that the hint
could be made useful. Not long after
ward a young lady of fifteen consulted
him, TO see if he could restore to mod
crate dimensions her nose, which was
large, fieshy, and unsightly. The trait
he found was'hereditary in her family,
as her mother and sister were similarly
affected. This was discouraging, as
hereditary peculiarities are particularly
obstinate. But the doctor determined
to try this method. He took exact
measurement, and had constructed for
her lunette pince-nez-a spring and pad
for compressing the artery, which she
wore at night and whenever she con-
veniently could in the daytime. In
three weeks a eonsolatory diminution
was evident, and in three months the
young lady was quite satisfied with the
Improvement in her features.

Women in India.

Lady Anna Gore-Langton, who has
recently returned from India, where
she has been residing with her brother,
the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos,
Governor of Madras. recently delivered
an interesting and instructive address
on ssThe Social Condition of Women in
Southern India" She said that in India
children were married at eight years
of age. Native fathers considered ii Il
disgrace to have single girls in the
family and endeavor to get them mar
ried in childhood, but then they did
not always go at once TO their husbands :
homes. Although but little money was
expended in clothes or education, the
marriages were very expensive, as
there was great deal of .feasting, and
many families had been for years i'm
poverished by the expenses OF mar
riages. Infanticide was not so preya-
lent as was the case few years ago,
and the Government had done great
deal TO put it down. The marriages
were generally arranged by the old
women, who went from family 10 fam
lily to find suitable matches. The men
in India were to great extent ruled
by the women, who were very conser-
vative and had great objection TO any
improvement in their customs. The
lower-class women worked very hard,
pulling stone rollers, cutting grass,
and helping their husbands in brick
laying. The natives treated widows
very badly; their clothes and jewels
were taken from them and they were
made as miserable as possible. Moth
ing was more painful than the vacant,
hopeless, melancholy faces of the adult
women, and nothing was more wanted
than lady doctors, who might save
India women much suffering. Sir
Salar Jung had eXerted himself to get
a lady doctor. but he had to send 10
America for one, who has now large
practice among the native women.

Rraila and Matchin.

Braila, where the Russian left wing
has bridged the Danube, has played an
important part in every campaign be-
tween Russia and Turkey. In 1923 il
was a town of "a 600 inhabitonts, sur
rounded by nine Fashioned fronts, each
flank resting upon the banks of the
river. A straight wall extended along
the crests of the cliffs and joined the ex-
tremities of the Fashioned fronts, COM
pleting the irclosure of the town. AT
the beginning of the campaign of 1923
the Turks occupied the town. The for
tifcations were in good repair and
were armed with 800 pieces of ordi-
nance. The garrison consisted of 5000
men, and the town was amply provided
with ammunition and provisions. A
Russian corps appeared before the town
as early as May IL, and the siege opened !;
but it was not until the Russian flotilla
of eighteen gunboats had defeated and
routed the Turkish fleet, and a bonn
bardment had been opened from the
waterside, that the garrison capitulated
on condition of being allowed to with
draw unmolested to Silistria. After
the capitulation of the Turkish force on
June IL, the Russians razed the fortifi-
cations. The Russians crossed the
Danube at Isakeha, below Galatz.
During the autumn of 1853, before the
Turks assumed the offensive at kalafat
and Oltenitza, the Russians had occu-
pied Braila and Galatz, and there had
been a skirmish at Isakcha, where the
crossing had been made in the previous
clmpaign. During the winter about
10000 troops were concentrated between
Galatz and Braila. On January s. 5000
Russians crossed the Danube from Braila
TO Mathin, destroyed some field works,
and retired under a brisk fire from the
Turks. They also formed an intrenched
camp in the island of Tcheial in the
Danube. The Turks raised fortifica-
tions opposite the Russian batteries, and
for two months succeeded in repeling
the attacks of the enemy. Late in
March the Russians crossed the Danube
from Galatz, Braila, and Ismail; and
captured Matchin and Isakcha. These
operations rendered them masters of
the Dobrudja, but they were pent up in
those dismal swamps for many months.
New fortifications and large earth
works have recently been erected by
the Turks at Tulteha, Matchin, and
Isakcha. There were two large bat
teries with eight rifled Krupp guns at
each post, and on the coast there were
at least fifty heavy riiled guns. The
Turks practically abandoned Tultcha
and Isakcha several weeks ago, and the
Russians seem TO have met with no re-
sistance at Matchin. Nearly all these
towns are in ruins. The strongest post
In Dobrudja is Hirsova, a wretehed lit
tie village of about hundred tumble
down houses.

Starting in the World.

Many an unwise parent labors haru
and lives sparingly all his life for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children start in the world, as IL Is
called. Setting a young man afioat
with money left him by mis- relations l.
like tying bladders under the arm of
one who cannot swim; ten chances TO
one he will lose his bladders and go 10
the bottom. Teach him to swim, and
he will never need the bladders. Give
your child sound education, and you
