Indian Girl Babies.

Infanticide is still common in India,
notwithstanding the efforts ola special
judicial department created to suppress
it. Only girls are murdered. The in
FAINT is destroyed in the room where it
is born, and then it is buried under the
floor of the same room. On the thir-
tenth day the village priest calls, and
eats his food in the same room. This is
considered a burnt Offering and by this
act the priest takes all the sin of the
murder upon his own soul, and the
family is free from it. As 0 as the
baby is born its mouth is filled with the
milk of the shrub aselipias gigantea,
and then it is plastered over with mud.
Respiration is impossible. When the
first girl baby is wrenched away in this
brutal manner, the mother cries and
groans a good deal. but after she has
lost two OF three she gets used it, and
makes no resistance. After the muir
der and burial and burnt Offering, the
parents again occupy the room and re-
ceive guests in it rs usual. The re-
quirement of dowry in order to mar
ry off a daughter is the chief reason
for the practice.

Testing Women.

From the Boston Transcript.
Now that the ladies have a right TO
vote in this state on the choice of mem
bers of the school committee, they are
beginning to find out why it is that
men devote so much time to politics,
and to realize that the discharge of
political duties Is not such simple mat
ter after all. Many who were taken
with the statement that Il woman can
drop a paper ballot into a box a. easily
rs a man cam are beginning to find out
that dropping a ballot into a box''
bears about the same relation to the
political duty Of a citizen as putting a
garment on does to making it. The
garment is useless unless worn; the bal
lot is useless until dropped into the box
but how about the making? Voting
is the browning act, the fruition, but
politics would be in a bad way indeed if
no one did anything but vote. To dis
charge political duties properly requires
acquaintance with political questions.
That the ladies have not. "But they
a acquire it?" Certainly. They have
only to do what men do, read andstudy
and think, say five or six years, and
they will begin to grasp things. But
there are many men who never read,
study OF think, yet they vote" True,
more's the pity, but that is not a good
reason for adding more voters to the
list. stBut now that ladies are to vote,
they will study and read and think"
viii they? That is exactly the question
that remains to be determined. They
have now every opportunity TO prove it,
and many people who have all along
felt that woman suffrage was sure to
come in some form sooner or later are
watching events with a good deal of in
terest. One thing is certain: if women
are going to content themselves with
voting, it would be much better had
the franchise never been given them.
If they are to help the cause of good
government, they must assume all the
duties of citizenship, inform themselves
concerning current events, men and
measures, and, in a word, learn to take
broad, comprehensive views of things.
1t may be an ungallant thing to say,
but it is true, nevertheless, that such,
as a rule, is not their present custom.
Neither do they customarily recognize
any obligation to abide by the clear
result of an argument. Perhaps the
ballot will reform ~ them in these res
poets, We shall see.

An Iron War Shirt.

An iron shirt was recently left at the
Office of the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette
by some one who found it in a house
that had been occupied by Union troops
during the closing months of the rebel
lion. This ironclad chemise resembles
somewhat the armor of a crusader, and
is made Of ten pieces of heavy boiler
iron, or It may be plates of thin steel,

AN ASTOUNDING DISCOVERY.
An Instantaneous and Perpetual
Fire Without Wood or Coal.

n correspondent has sent us {
startling letter from Miss NJ. Betam.
Edwards, from which we give an ex.
tract II send you the following par.
ticulars of a recent scientific inven.
ton, just patented, and destined
without doubt to play very i'm
portant part in our economic history.
| think it may be regarded as So
luton for once and for all of the
great coal question, not only among
ourselves, bat abroad. NJ. Bourbon
nel of Dion, the celebrated lion and
panther slayer lighted upon the fol-
lowing discovery by hazard, and
after six years persistent investiga-
ton brought it TO entire workable
perfection. He discovered, by means
of two natural substances, inexhaust-
ible in nature, the means of lighting
and maintaining a fire without wood
or coal a fire instantaneously light
ed and eXtinguished fire causing
no dust, smoke, or trouble; a fire
costing one-tenih at least of ordina-
ry fuel; and what is more wonder
ful still, fire the portion of which
anSw ering TO our fuel is everlasting
that is TO say would last lifetime.
NJ. BourbOnnel's invention compre-
hends both stove and fuel. The fires
could be on the minutest scale or
on the largest. They would be used
for heating a baby's food or for
roasting an OK. Beling lighted in
simultaneously, they will be 4 great
economy Of time. NJ. Bourdonuel
at once patented his invention and
body of engineers and savants from
Paris visited him, and pronounced
his discovery one Of the most re-
markablc of the age. He has had
several offers for the purchase of
the patent in France, but wants to
sell it in England, his occupation
being in another line. Any English
gentleman or firm wishing 20 see his
fires or stoves, could do so by writ
ing TO him day or two beforehand.
His address is NJ. Bourbonnel, Dion. !
j. have seen these fires and
stoves. There is no mistake about
the matter. 1t is as clear as possi- |
that here we have perpetual and |
economic source of fuel. Two hun
dred years ago the discoverer would |
surely have been burned as a wiz
rd."-LaR@OR -ItkenGWm.

sfOy~ and Tobacco.

Physicians are well agreed that the
use of tobacco by growing boys is
foil NJ danger. Recent Investiga-
tiOns- especially in France-have
demonstrated that a whole train of
nervous diseases are to be traced to
this practice. Ii you want TO stop
growing. If you want a set of nerves
that are like those of an old lady, if
you wish 10 grow feeble and thin, if
YOU wish TO look sallow and puny-
| DO not know aUy better way than
TO smoke tobacco. Ii will make a
drain on your nervous system which
will be sure 10 tell after a while. Let
us hope that if thousand boys read
this. some of them will be saved
from forming a filthy habit which
most men regret.

& Vegetable Curiosity.

4 remarkable freak of vegetable
has appeared in the grounds Off. i.
Taiman. at Worcester, Mass, in the
shape of potato wine which
bears tomatoes. II appears to
be n mixture of the two vc@cta-
bleS. and j. accounted for by the
fact that a strong tOmato-vine from
rh ancc-snWn seed grew in The same
hill with the potatoes. and the po-
Hen Of the two plants became mixed.
Unfortunately the vines were pull
ed up before the peculiariiy OF the
growth was noticed. Some oi our
agriculturists may derive valuable
suggestion from this. A. both po-
taio and tomato are OF the solauacese

should be feriilizcd by the other, and

BDoKs.-Books are never so nee
cssary aS in the wane OF life. In
childhood we are busy with toys
in youth with pleasure in manhood
with action; and SD may dispense
with the delights of reading with
little consciousness of loss. But
when at last we are too wise to be
charmed with baubles: too earnest
10 be tickled with straws: too old to
enjoy the pleasures of sense; too
fond of repOsc to endure the noise
of the bustliHg world then il is that
books are felt to be the truest and
most agreeable of friends; compan-
ions who neither contradict us with
arrogance, insult Us with bad man.
ners, nor love US with prolixity. For
we can cherish the entertaining. re-
iect the dull, and snub the long wind
ed with the utmost without giving
pain. How pleasant, when life is in
the ''sear and yellow leaf"

Advice 10 n Youss Man.

Rememoei., my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle pick
or pen, a wheelbarrow or set of
books, digging bitches, or editing a
paper, ringing an auction bell or
writing funny things, you must
work. If you will look around YOU,
son, you will see that the men who
are most able to live the rest of their
days without work, are the men
who work the hardest. Don't be
afraid of killing yourself with over
work, son. 1t is beyond your pow
er TO do that.
Men cannot work so hard as that
on the sunny side of thirty. They
die sometimes, but it's because they
quit work at 6 p. m. and don't get
home until a. IN. It's the interval
that kills, my son. The work gives
you an appetite for your meals, it
lends solidity TO your slumber, it
gives you perfect and grateful ap-
probation of holiday.
There are young men who do not
work my son young men who make
a living by sucking the end of
cane; whose entire mental develop
ment is insufficient 10 tell them
which side Of a postage stamp to
lick young men who can tie a neck
tie in eleven different knots and
never lay a wrinkle in il, and then
would get into West Hill street
car 10 go TO Chicago ;who can spend
more money in day than You can
earn in a month, son, and who will
go to the sheriff s 10 buy postal
card, and apply at The Office of the
street commissioner for n marriage
license.
But the world is not proud of
them, son. II does not know their
names, even; it simply speaks of
them as old So-and-so's boys. No
body likes them, nobody hates them,
the great busy world doesn't even
know they are there, and at the |
great day Of the resurrection, if they |
do not appear at the sound of the |
and they certainly will not
unless somebody tells them what il |
is FOR and what to do, | don't think !
will miss them or notice
their absence, and they will not be
sent for, or waited for, or disturbed.
Things will co on just as we'll with
out them.
So find out what you want to be
lnd TO do, son, aud take off your
coat and make dust in the world.
The buster you are The less devil!ry !
you will be apt TO get into. the
~ eeier will be your sleep, the
brighter and happier your holidays,
md the better satisfied will The
world be with you.-HGrkeye.

This is what Robert G. Ingersoll

This is what Robert q. Ingersoll
says of the women: 81 tell you wo-
men are more prudent than men. |
tell you, as a rule, women are moEe
truthful than men-ten times as
faithful as men. | never saw man
pursue his wife into the very ditch
and dust of degradation and take
her i'm his arms. | never saw man
stand at the shore where she had
been morally wrecked, waiting for
the waves to bring back even her
corpse to his arms but | have seen
women do it. l have seen woman
with her white arms, lift man from
the mire of degradation and hold
him to her bosom as if he were an
angel"
