WOMEN IN INDIA.
The Degrading Position Occupied by
Hindoo Wives and Widows

OCCUPIED
HindoO Wives and Widows.
An Anglo-Indian newspaper thus
comments upon the published letter of
Hindoo woman "She writes with a
good deal of feminine emphasis, but
she amply proves her case, that the
rich and poor, the old and yonng, of
her sex, suffer much misery and pain
and degradation through the strict
observance of social inst tutions invent
ed by men for their own advantage.
Every woman on the death of her hus-
band, even of a child husband, is con-
Gemned to a life of perpetual widow
hood. But man NAV not only marry
4 second wife on the death of his first
| one. but can marry any number of
wives at one and the same time. Even
if he has only one wife, he continues to
live in the bosom of his own family, and
has never. under any circumstances. to
submit to the tender mercies of a
mother-in-law. In India all the bows
and girls are betrothed indissolubly
almost as soon as they are born. At
the age of eight at latest husband
must be found for every girl. Girls are
generally, perhaps. married at this age.
and their parents are still at liberty to
send them to school until they are
ten years old. But after that the
leave of the mother-inlaw must
be obtained. But even in these
advanced times exclaims our cor
respondent, and even in Bombay
the chief center of civiliZation-how
many mothers-in-law are there who
send their daughters to school after
they are ten years old" Thus the
girls are taken away from school just
when they are beginning to understand
and appreciate education. Even girls
belonging to the most advanced fam
lies are mothers before they are four
teen, and have henceforth to devote
themselves to the hard realities of life.
"The unfortunate Hindoo bride may
neither sit nor speak in the presence of
any elder member of her husband s
family She must work with the serv-
ants. rise early. 90 to bed late, and he
perpetually abused and frequently
beaten by her mother-in-law. She
must live in the most rigid seclusion.

on his family, can never take her side,
and, fresh himself from college. is apt
to despise her for her ignorance, and to
tolerate her as necessary evil. The
children either die of like weakly seed
lings or grow up without vigOr. The
women lose their beauty at twenty. are
long past their prime at thirty, and old
at forty. But worse fate awaits them
if. instead of being Hindoo wives, they
| become HindOo widows. OF this
wretched fate our correspondent fortu-
nately knows nothing personally, and so
can not write from experience. But
there are 22.000.000 widows in India.
many of whom lost their nominal hus-
bands when they were children, and
| none of whom can ever marry again.
For the rest of their lives they are de-
prived of ornaments and colOred gar
ments, their heads are shaved, they are
condemned to the coarsest clothes and
poorest food and wear out their days
in seclusion as the lowest drudges of
the household"

BITTER WORDS.

All, me- those terrible tongues of ours,
Are we half aware of their terrible powersi
Do we ever trouble our heads at all
Where the jest may strike or the hint may
falls
The latest chfrp of that "Iittle bird"
That spicy story "yoU must have heard
We jerk them away in our gossip rash,
What flames have been blasted and broken,
What pestilent sinks have been stirred,
By word in lightness spoken,
BY only an idle word.
A sneer-a shrug-a whisper low
They are poisoned shafts from an ambushed
bow,
Shot by the coward. the fool, the knave;
They pierce the mail of the great and brave,
Vain is the buckler of wisdom or pride
To turn the pitiIess pointed tide;
The lip may curl with careless smile,
But the heart dips blood-dips blood the
while.
All. me! what hearts have been broken,
What rivers of blood have been stirred,
BY a word in malice spoken,
By only bitter word.
A kindly word and a tender tone
To only God is our virtues known!
They can lift from the dust the abject head,
They can turn a foe to a friend instead;
The heart close barred with passion and
pride
VIII fling at their knock its portal wide.
And the hate that blights and the scorn that
sears
Will melt in the fountain of childlike tears.
, What rivers of love have been stirred,
1 By a word in kindness spoken.
By only a gentle word.

No person is eligible who has not

here that he made his felicitious re-

elderly lady of rank with her servant:
However could a lady of her birth

aim at something more in winter than
doing the chores, this will be the result.
In fact. one-half of these same chores
usually cons st in feeding and growing
these same horses, which often get so
little exercise in winter their shoulders
are tender, their muscles flabby, and it
takes several weeks of the busiest time
in the year to make them fit for service.
We can not afford this. and for this rea-
son. if for no other, some kind of farm
work should if possible. be in progress
every working day through the year.

Some of the PecuIiarities of the Great
Operate Composer.
From 1929 to 1860, with few excep-
tons, Meyerbeer passed the summer
months every year at Spa. An eye
witness thus describes him: He was
invariably dressed in an ill-fitting black
frock coat, with black silk neckcloth
wound several times round his throat,
high and stiff shirt-collars, and tight
trousers with straps. His gloves were
many sizes too large for him. and he
wore tall silk hat falling not oyergrace-
fully on the nape of his neck. He always
carried huge cotton umbrella under
his left arm when he didn't use it as a
walking stick. When on foot he sham
bled along with a lettering step as if he
were blind but his usual mode of loco
motion was an insecure seat on a
donkey. his legs dangling almost on the
ground. in which guise he might reg
ularly be seen of an afternoon in the
Alice du Marteau" Jules Janin used
to relate with great glee that during
his stay at Spa. on returning
from an excursion in the neigh
borhood. he asked his servant
if any one had called. Nobody worth
speaking Of" was the contemptnous
answer. ''only the queer old fellow on a
donkey with a large umbrella"
Among the composer Peculiarities was
horror of cats. the mere sight of one
throwing him into a nervous fit He
was as a rule silent in company, and
disliked being brought in contact with
inauisltive people. One of these,

Visitors to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art have often stopped to gaze at the
specimens of beautiful glassware there
to be found, and have wondered if
America could produce such work.
Contrary to the general opinion, the
answer is that this country can and
does produce it. Brooklyn has glass

pearls, and other precious stones, but
woven glass is made in Pittsburgh, of
the finest imaginable texture. Said
glass manufacturer. when asked to tell
something about the latter form Of
glass:
The first processes of making woven
glass are the same as in making any
kind of cOlored work. The ingredients,
sand, colorlng. etc, are mixed together
and placed in the furnace to melt.
| When the mass has about become fused
| into molten substance the furnace is
opened and some of it is taken out by
two workmen. who stretch it in tbs
| factory until it looks like a reG-hot rope
from one-half to three-fOurths OF an
inch in diameter. These ropes are
allowed to cool, and then are taken into
the spinning room. In the center
of this room is an immense wheel
of wood, eight and a half feet
in diameter. The periphery is foot
wide, as smooth as glass itself. At one
side of the wheel is a blow-pipe, so ar
ranged that the blow is at right angles
with the wheel, and blowing hot air.
The bar of glass as it comes into the
room is given to an operator, who holds
it in his blow-pipe, and it melts. An
other workman takes a pair of pincers
and draws a thread of glass from the
melting bar, and this he winds about
the wheel. when the steam is turned on
and the machinery begins to revolve.
The big wheel makes three hundred
revolutions a minute, and draws a
thread of glass from the melting bar
continually. At first the thread is
thick. but it becomes more and more
fine, until the finest silk is no more frag-
} lie or gossamerlike. As 1t becomes hne
it loses its brittleness. and becomes
more elastic and pliable. and gains in
tensile strength also. When a suffi-
GENTLY large col of thread has been
made it is taken from the wheel and
bound up in skeins, and then the ma
terial is taken to the weaving machine
This is exactly like a s.lk-weaving ma.

tiful texture and color. Tbs finel
threads of glass unite as do threads o
silk. and the fabric when done may b

can be used. and changeable goods ar
