to attack those working in the sun,

of sleep pnd all unnecessary fatigue.
If working indoors, and where

light hat (noJ black, as it absorbs the
heat), straw, ETC., and put inside of it

leaf; frequently lift the hat from the
head and SEE that the cloth is wet. Do

Wild Game In Afg hanistan

From the London Telegraph,
In the valley Of Kushk itud we SAW
deer of various k:nts-Wild boar, and
the goorkal or wild ass. A large
drove of them passed our line of march
one morning, but we saw little Of
them except the great cloud of dtsnt
they turned up as they hurried up TO
higher ground. understand th.,tt
there is little difference between the
goorkal and the kyang, or will

very plentiful; they have burroWet

plentiful, and wild pigs are still more
numerous there than on Thu
higher ground. There, ar
large spaces on the side o
the stream covered with fall reeds
and the pigs find cover in them. On,
morning on the march, / saw drov'
of thirty pigs, led by large boar
walking up the side of the hill. The.
had been disturbed by the bagea g
animals passing. They went UP tn
hillside, and about half mile to th
north they descended again into All
other bed of reeds. They came dow
in Indian file, forming a long straigh
line, led still by the boar, and as the'

in the reeds. While watchin,
the drove as it came down hill, it wa

The boars are ferooious, as some O

According to the ruling of the
Comptroller, school house used for
teaching public school, Or which
rent is asked by the owner, is subject
to taxation. Were nothing charged
for its use, under the statute, no tax
would have to be paid.
1t is stated that the instructions to
the assessors to assess leased school
lands for taxes, will prevent applica-
tions to lease. Until some steps are
taken by the Land Board to enforce
the land enclosure act, it is thought
that many persons will fail to lease

Announcing engagements.

From the Domestic Monthly.
When couple is engaged there is
seldom a sensible reason why all the
world should not know it, and there
fore the new fashion CT announcing
engagements just before prominent
ball and having the ladies and gen
tlepaen congratulated by their friends
is to be commended. To be sure, if
the engagement is afterwards broken,
tile thought of these public congratu-
lations would be embarrassing; but if
the fashion tends to prevent promises
of marriage being lightly given it
would serve good purposes. The girl
who might say yes when asked to
marry, with the mental reservation
that it anything better comes along
she will contrlYe not to keep her word
will think twice about it IL she has te

W0man's Rank and How 1t is Main

WOman'S Rank ana HOW IL rs MAIN
1ained-FreedOm from Divorce.
From the New York Mail and Express.
Early betrothalS have never been
as general in Japan as in other East
ern countries and they are now de-
creasing yearly. Marriages are ar
ranged by the respective parents,
assisted by man and his wife
(mutual friends of the tamil
iies) as an intermediary. Contra
ry to the usual notion on
this subject the wishes of the young
people are generally consulted. The
statement sometimes made that the
wife in Japan is a mere chattel to be
lightly acquired or disposed of is abso-
lutely false. Divorces among the bet
ter classes are scarcely more frequent
or more frequently sought for than in
many parts OF our own country. Our
tricky divorce lawyer would starve in
Japan. If a divorce is demanded the
! matter must BIS laid before the fam
lilies of the couple, with the interme-
diary spoken of as arbitratorS, and
neither the man nor the woman can
be released from the marriage VOW
without their concurrence. AS
divorce must result In the sending
Their for support, separations, ex-
cept for a grave and sufficient reason,
are not easily obtained. The position
of wife, and especially of a mother
in Japan, is all that a true woman can
desire. 1t is not the custom, except
on special occasions, for women to
mingle socially with men who are not
of their own family by blood or mar
riage. This restriction is not imposed
by the legal lord alone, it is part of
the family organization and by the
family imposed for the promotion of
morality and good order in society.
Nothing can exceed the beauty and
harmony of the japanese home. Dis
respect and disobedience to parents
are rare, and we have often been COM
PEELED to contraso the family discipline
of Japan with that of our own. much

There is an institution in Belgium

All the patients live among the peo-

Al the members were present. The
IIesldents message, so far as completed
was read and unanimously approved. 1t
Is SAID to be an unusually strong paper,
containing many new and valuable sug-
gestons. The question of attending the
funeral of Vice President Hendricks was
considered, and TWO or three members of
the cabinet said it would be almost i'm
possible to leave the city Just at this time,
without neglecting many matters which
IL Is important should be settled before
the meeting Of Congress. The President
expressed deterplnatiOn to attend the
funeral. His message was almost ready,
and could be completed on his return
The Postmaster General and the Secreta-
rIes Of War and OF the Navy, said their
reports were all in shape, and
tney thought they would be
able to accompany the President. The
secretary OF State also thought that he
could arrange to go with the party. The
other members thought the affairs Of their
departments would prevent them leaving
the city. 1t was generally decided to
leave the matter entirely to the discretion
OF each member, with the understanding
that all who could would go. The party
Will probably leave here Monday morning.
The details of the trip have been placed in
the hands OF Col. Lamont, and are not yet
completed.

ATLANTA, Nov. 27.-The liquor dealers,
it is said, have determined to contest the
election OF Wednesday on the ground that
the country precincts which were already
under local option rule should not
have been allowed to vote in this election.
The cOnstitutiOnality OF the bill 10 is un-
derstOOd also will be the object OF an at
tack. The PrOhibitlonists laugh at the
threats OF their opponents. While West
End gave 3l3 majority for prohibition, she
does not vote over so home votes, and
therefore ii all OF her folks were solid
against prohibition 1t would not alter the
result. The other votes cast there were
from Atlanta and legal. There is no
