ROSamOnd was much pleased 10

with press of overwork, and was
debating the necessity of hiring an
assistant.
She was prosperlng very we'll,

Dora, but the work was very con-

good as it had been.
"But you are looking stout and
well, Dora," she added, "chicken
farming must agree with YOU"
Dora spent ii day or two with
her sister and then returned to her
''farm," saying nothing Of her
achievements, as she wished to sur
prise her sisters when they came
to visit her, which they promised
to do as soon as practicable.
Three more years passed away,
finding Dora plump and rosy still,
though time had not dealt so gent
ly with her sisters.
Almira had almost ruined her
really fine constitution with con.
slant hard work, and was looking
pale and careworn, while Rosamond

Since the advent of the British into
power in India the fearful rite of suffice,
which condemned to be burnt along
with her husband his widows, has been
prevented; and though, even at this
day, a Hindostani burning is a sight by
no means pleasant, it was much more
fearful when along with the burning
dead husband were burned n or more
of his late wives.
The first time when that sacrifice was
clearly brought home to Englishmen
was when Job Charnock. half-pirate,
half -adventurer, saved the life of a
beautiful Bengalee widow as she was
being thrust upon the burning pyre of
her husband. Job Charnock laid the
foundation of the present capital of
India, Calcutta, and it was at its
present site where the gallant sailor per
formed this hazardous saving feat.
Charnock had penetrated up the Hoogly
in the quest of adventures, and seeing
from his vessel preparation for the
burning of n llindoo he watched the
process with curious excitement; but
when it came to cremating living people,
and above all a young women, all the
generous impulses of the sailors heart
were stirred, and calling to his com
rades he leaped ashore, and with the
aid of their knives he soon dispersed
the h%eathens, and afterward married
the oma aud founded Calcutta.

Long sea voyages are of great value
in many cases Of consumption. The pa
TENTS have the advantages of the con
slant influences of the sea air, combined
with mental repose and passive exer-
else. "
There are, of course, several draw
backs, the most prominent being the
liability to seasiokness and to bad
weather, and the confinement which
necessarily occurs; the monotony in oc-
equations, the want of variety of food
and of articles sometimes longed for by
inyalids, and the discomforts arising
from the machinery in the case of
steam vessels. If the patient be not
liable 10 suffer from seasickness, and if
his appetite and digestion be fair, he
has a much better chance of being ben
Gifted by 4 sea voyage than under OPP
posite conditions. arious conditions
Of debility, especially those arising
from excessive mental strain, are al

that during the past eight years thore

tween the death-rate from pneumonia

in the atmosphere. The epidemic has
been particularly fatal during the pres

How the Chinese Train Fighting Turtles
Wong Chin Foo in Chicago News.l

HAFNN A83 AAAA8 80 A1A AAtRH
Wong Chin Foo in Chicago News.l
Turtle fighting is very ommon in the
east, and | am surprised the sport has
not been introduced into this country.
It's quiet, nice, and very satisfactory.
Two kinds of the reptiles are good for
fghting-the mud-turtle and the snap
per. The latter is quicker and more
ferocious. Young and old ones are nc
good. The best run from seven to
twenty pounds in weight, and are from
. years old upward. After being caught
they are regularly trained. We feed
them with raw meat, raw fish, and a
strong drug whose name | don't know.
To make their jaws strong and their
eyes quick, we tease them twice a day
with wooden sticks and with rags tied
up to look like another turtles head.
Then we fix up their jaws and teeth.
We file them and fix them until they
are sharp as the blade OF a knife.
A few months training is all they
want. They'll snap a pencil at a bite,
or crush and bite through a bamboo in
a minute or two. A week before a fight
they should be leased every two or
three hours and given red pepper on
their food. They get crazy mad and
will attack their trainer at very chance.
When they are fighting 80 throw red
pepper on their wounds to make them
more savage. You want to be very
careful, though, in training and fight
ing them, because they'll snap at you
every time. If they get hold OF you a
piece comes out or a finger m off,
and sometimes their bites are poisonous
and the trainer dies.
