HINDOO VIRGIN WIDOWS.

AS the, custom of early marriage, Or
rather infant marriage, is widely prevail
ent in India, there is cen vast mum ,er
of virgin widows here. You might
frequently see girls of two or three
years married to boys of seven or eight,
and many Of them becoming widows
soon after their marriage So the num-
Der of virgin widows under fifteen is
very large. In the last census taken in
1881 the number of such widows in India
was estimated to be about two thirds of
the whole number of widows. It is the
presence of tins large number of infant
and girl widows that make the custom
of perpetual widowhood the more APP
palling.
The, life a widow leads is very miser-
able. She is not allowed to wear orna-
nents or put ON fine clothing. She
must not take fish OF flesh. She has to
cook her own 70 d which generally con
sists, in middle-class families, of small
quantity of boiled rice and vegetables
and milk. Twice every month she has
TO Slst the whole day, taking no food or
drink. A widow in most cases depends
for her subsistence ON her brother or
some other such near relative, at whose
house she resides and where she has to
perform all the work of n housewife.
In many Hindoo home the widow is
both the cook and maid-servant. In
certain homes she is subjected to hard
trea ment, but III many others, be it
noted her sad lot is most sincerely SYM
pathized with, and care is taken not to
hurt her feelings

THE USES OF IVY.

Land and Water says the common
belief that ivy trained against the walls
of q dwelling house produces damp walls
aud general unhealthiness, is fallacious.
The very opposite is the case If one
will carefully examine an ivy-clad wall
after shower of rain, he will notice
that while the overlapping leaves have
conducted the water from point to point
until it has reached the ground, the wall
beneath is perfectly dry and dusty.
More than this. the thirsty shoots, which
force their way into every crevice of the
s ructure which will afford firm hold,
act like suckers, in drawing out any
particles of moisture for their own nour-
ishment The ivy, in fact. acts like
great-coat keeping the house from wet
and warm. One more virtue it has, in
giving to the ugliest structure an ever
green beauty.

NEURALGIA HEADACHE OF WOMEN

Says the London Lancet: The in
creased, and apparently increasing fire.
Guency of neural ic headache among
women must needs have cause. There
is one OF singular simplicity and quite
obvious which has been overlooked, and
to which it is worth while to draw atten-
ton. The pain experienced is generally
located in one or more CT the branches
OF the second cervical nerve, very COM
monty those terminating in the scalp at
the occiput. AS u matter of fact, the
nerves OF the scalp are irritated by the
hair being drawn tightly back and put
on the strain, no. as whole, in which
case the strain wou d be spread over the
large area of the surface, but by small
bundles of hair which are pulled back
and held in place by hairpins. Relief is
often consciously experienced as result
of removing the hairpins, but this, has
only temporary and partial effect.
The injury done is lasting, if not perma-
nent in it's consequences. The present
style of dressing the hair should be dis
continued, as it probably, in part OF
least, accounts for the extreme preva-
lence of form Of suffering which is
both intractable and distressing.

Damage. Against q Dead Man.

In MacColla's " Breach Of Promise, its
History and Social Considerations. the fol-
lowing case is printed:
The plaintiff, according TO the opening
statement OF her learned counsel, was q
widow OF 80 Summers. For the early part
o. the year 1865, she went to live as house
keeper with q Mr.. John Robertson, who
was then in good circumstances. This
gentleman becoming attached to her, ac-
cording to the evidence. offered her mar
rage, upon the promise Of which he took
advantage OF her; and the lady appeared
in court with g small parcel in her arms,
which, on close inspection, was discovered
10 be a little pink heap. The plaintiff was
examined and stated that after she told
Mr.. Robertson of her condition, be prom
ised 70 take her TO London, and marry her
privately. Early in 1866 Mr.. Robertson
was taken III and soon afterwards died.
Though the learned counsel for the defense
denied that any promise Of marriage had
ever been given by the late Mr.. Robertson,
the Chief Judge held that the promise had
been amply, abundsntly, and incontro-
yertibly made out" and so the jury
awarded her f200 damages against her de-
ceased lovers estate.
