HINDU WIDOWS.

According to a writer in the Nine
teenth Century it has been almost a
cruelty to forbid the practice of suttee
or the suicide of Hindu widows, while
taking no steps to defend such IN
fortunate persons from the miseries
to which they are condemned by native
social laws. The theory is, as enun-
ciated by the ancient Hindu law
maker Manu-, that "a virtuous wife
ascends to heaven, if, after the decease
of her lord, she devotes herself to pious
austerity; but a widow who sights her
deceased husband by marrying again
brings disgrace ON herself here below.
and shall be excluded from the seat
Of her lord" Hence he directs that
she shall ''emaciate her body by living
voluntarily on pure flowers, roots and
fruits, but let her not when her lord
IS deceased, even pronounce the name
of another man. Let her continue till
death forgive all injuries, performing
harsh duties, avoiding every sensual
pleasure, and cheerfully practicing the
incompatible rules Of virtue which
have been followed by such women a.
were devoted to only one husband.
These laws, though laid down nearly
$500 years ago, are still mercilessly
enforced, and the life of a Hindu
widow is, in consequence. almost I'm
bearable; In fact, many cases are
known where death from exhaustion
and starvation follows the attempt to
observe the prescribed routine of life
For two days of each month, for in
stance, she must neither eat nor drink
anything, no matter how feeble may
be her health. Otherwise she loses
"caste" and forfeits the respect and
care of her family. We advise all
American widows to stay where they
are.

THE ALASKANS CHIEF FOOD.

In the month of July, 1884, our
station was established at the coal
measures, some twenty-five miles
north of Cape Lisburne. During
August and September the natives
shot from 100 to $50 deer within a
radius of fifty miles. The methods
pursued by these people when they
shoot deer are of such nature that

An Italian savant has discovered &
new and simple method of catching
fish. The bait is musical one. As
we all know, the sense of hearing is
extraordinarily developed in fish. 1t
appears that while the slightest noise
scatters them in all directions, musi-
cal note, especially that produced by
the human voice, attracts them; on
hearing it they stop suddenly in their
course Signor Saretti, discovering
this fact, embarked one morning on the
lake of Geneva with party of friends:
he possesses very fine deep bass voice.
and striking up national song he
proved to his astounded companions
the truth of his assertions They
were able by means of an aquascope
to perceive the eagerness with which
the piscine population gathered
around the little boat Casting over
the nets they had brought they in
stantly made such a catch as has rare
ly, if ever, been known on the lake,
and they may be said indeed to have
made another miraculous draught of
fishes"

A Catslill, n. Y, drayman recently
delivered a barrel of -four at a house
near the west end Of the West Shore
bridge over the Catskill stream The
house is situated near the brink OF a
rock which has a precipitous descent
of one hundred feet During the I'M
loading Of the barrel the horse took
fright, and. to the horror of those
present, backed off and disappeared
with its driver over the cliff. After
falling about half the distance the
wagon was caught by the limbs Of a
tree. the horse hanging head down
ward, suspended in the air. The
driver, who had held on the wagon,
now descended the tree, and the horse,
by its struggles, broke the harness,
and, rolling over several times,
brought up against the stump Of an
other tree on a narrow ledge of rock.
1t was brought down with consider
able trouble and difficulty when fur
Their assistance was obtained. Beyond
some rather severe cuts and bruises,
no injury was suffered by either man
or beast.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 19-The action of the
coke workers at their convention at Scott
dale Yesterday in resolving TO accept no
compromise has had tendency to increase
the bitterness of the struggle, and a settle
ment seems farther away than ever. More
men are idle to-day than at any time since
the beginning of the strike. Only two
small works are in operation. and these
were not running full. Notices will be
posted up by many operators on their tene-
ment houses in few days making final
demand upon their tenants to vacate their
property on March l, and after that time
evictiOnS will likely become general. This
morning about l o'clock 400 HungarianS,
armed with rifles. revOlvers, hatchets and
clubs, marched with military precision
through Mt. Pleasant TO the Standard
works. II had been reported that work
was 10 be begun there to-day and the
parade was for the purpose of preventing
/ the resumption. No attempt however
was made TO start the works. The magni-
| tude of the strike is greater than many
| people imagine. The amount of capital
| invested in the coke business from Pleas
ant Unity to Fair Chance would reach

but is the aggregate of the cost price of the

no interest being made on this great total,
but on the other hand more capital is being
expended in keeping the property intact
from external danger from strikers and in-
ternal danger from flooding. The monthly
interest is almost 500, 600, while it is i'm
possible TO compute the expense account
without access to the bonds. The railroads
are losing freightage to the extent of 500
cars daily, while ., 900 cars ON side tracks
are bringing no revenue whatever. On the
other side about 5000 laborers engaged in
operating the works are losing $4,000 daily
in unearned wages. making for the thirty
three working days they have been idle q

THROUGH THE AIR.
4 Chicago Physician Ia Establish
Aerial transportation Lines.

CHICAGO. Feb. 19.-ATticles of incOrpO-
ration were issued at Springfield yesterday
to the Transcontinental Aerial Navigation
company of Chicago. to establish aerial
transportation lines, the capital stock being
$50. 600. and the ineorpOrators Arthur De
Baussat. Eugene Margurat and Jules Lange.
MIR. De BauSSat is a French physician, who
has resided in Chicago for several years
past. and has made study OF aerial nayi-
CATION for over twenty-five years. DIR. De
Baussat's object is TO build an air ship. the
length of which will be IA feet. Its width
is TO be "a feet and its height 22 feet. The
main cylinder will be 654 feet in length and
IA feet in diameter. II is expected TO prove
by the vacuum theory that ii is possible to
navigate the air by the laws of gravitatiOn,
by overcoming the pressure OF the atmo-
sphere, without filling it with hydrogen or
any other gas. 1t is intended 10 begin the
work of building the ship in about two
weeks, and it will be completed in about
two months. DR.. De BOnsSat is confident
that the search for the north pole can be
successfully accomplished by means of his
air shin. which will be so arranged that il
can be propelled over ice as well as through
the air. He is in receipt OF very fiatter-
ing letter from the Smithsonian institute
concerning his invention. and is in cOmmu-
nicatiOn with James Gordon Bennett Of
New York in relation to making an explora-
ton for the north pole when his ship i:
completed.

No BIDS Received.

JOLIET, H., Feb. IA remarkable
phase of the convict labor problem was pre-
sented here to-day. The state penltentiary
authorities seem to have surplus of con-
vict labor. Advertisements have appeared
in half dozen of the leading papers for
month past, Offering the men to be con-
tracted for the highest bidder for from five
To eight years. To-day the board of COM
missioners met at the penitentiary to open
bids for the convict labor, but no bids were
received, much to the surprise of the board
The members concluded that the agitation
of the convict labor question has intimi-
dated contractors TO such an extent as to
cause convict labor to be placed at dis
count. The authorities are in Quandary
"a to what TO do with the men. 1t is
thought that the convict labor question will
be submitted TO the vote of the people OF
the state at the next general election and
that it will be abolished in this state.

AT o'clock the bill went over. The edu-
cation bill then came up and Mr.. Eyarts
spoke briefly in its favor. Mr.. ingalls, con-
trasted education North and South He
said one of the most distressing things
about the South was its want of seIf-reli-
ance, its disposition TO call on the general
government for assistance. He saw no Oc-
cason for despondency as to the condition
Of the colOred men. Mr.. Hoar said it was
he who drafted the first of these education
bills ten or fifteen years ago. and the prop
ositiOn had never come before the people of
the South. 1t was a Northern idea and
supported by Northern sentiment. The
senator from Kansas erred in supposing this
TO be question
NORTH AND SOUTH.
The present bill proceeded upon the
ground that in republic in which every
citizen has an equal share in the govern
ment in which the vote of the plantation
negro equaled the vote Of the merchant
prince education was indispensable to the
continued existence of liberty. 1t was be-
cause the society of the South was our So
| cety, the interest of the South our interest.
| 1t was because in the sublime trial which
ended in 1865 il was determined that here
! after and forever this was TO be nation
| anu not all dGBltGdllOl ol hdlIllS dlu Con-
| ficting communities held together by
feeble band. Mr.. HOar cited figures to show
/ that under Mr.. ingalls, theory Mississippi
would get fifteen times as much money
! from the bill as would Massachusetts. while
by the bill as it stood it would get only four
times as much.
MIR. Ingalls-Nothing lies like figures.
! Laughter.
Mr.. Hoar-Sometimes people are under
misappreheusion for not having read the fig
ures before making speeches. Renewed

Mr.. Wilson of Maryland, opposed the
bill. Congress could have nothing more 10
do with the schools of state than the roads
of state. This was a menace 10 the liber-
ties of the states. Mr.. Harris said that each
state was the best judge of its own educa-
! tiunal interests. The debate then closed
for the day. Bills were passed removing
the political disabilities of Alexander y.
| Stewart of Mississippi. Thomas l.. Rosser
of Virginia. and Edward q. w. Butler of
| Missouri. Mr.. Beck said he did not know
of any smaller business for the judiciary
committee than to be peddling out removals
or disabilities in this way. After an eXecu-
tive session the senate adjourned until Tues

THE ADVANCE IN MEAT RATES.
what the Result OF the Advance
will be With Large Shippers.

New YORK, Feb. 19.-The Post pub
lishes the result of series of interviews as
to the result of yesterdays action OF the
trunk line executive committee in advan-
cling the rates on live stock and dressed
meats from the West to the seaboard in a
ratio which discriminates against the hand
lers and shippers of dressed meats. 1t
finds that the result to the consumer in this
city will be an advance of from 2 10 9 cents
per pound on the price of beef, to cents
on mutton and to cents on pork. One
of the largest live stock dealers of this city,
said: We hope in this way to starye out
the Western dressed meat companies. The
cattle trade and slaughterers have been al
most driven out of business. To-day there
are fully 500 men, who were formerly EN-
plOyed in cattle yards or slaughter houses
in this city, who have no work to do.

PALESTINE, Tex, Feb. 19.-The re-
pair shops of the International & Great
Northern Railroad company remained
closed to-day. The strikers are awaiting
the arrival of Master Workman Loving OF
District 1O1, Knights of Labor. The rail-
road authorities say that the action Of the
men in abandoning the shops was a sur
prise to them. as no complaints had been
made. They also'state that had theyknown
of the removal of an engine to other shops,
of which the men complain, they would
have explained that the engine was being
transferred to the Missouri, Kansas %
Texas road in exchange for one borrowed
from that road. 1t is thought the rtouble
will be adjusted at an early day.

Low Emigrant Rate.

The announcement that the Canadian
Pacific has made an emigrant rate of Sl2
from Quebec to st. Vincent is not at all
surprising, it having previously made state
ments that it would make lower rates than
any of its competitors on the American side.
1t has made all its arrangements and has
them perfected, and as soon as the spring
season opens will have its agents scattered
all over Europe quoting its low emigrant
inland rates. With its rate at S12 and the
American at S23 TO st. Paul via Chicago
and So so St. Paul to ST. Vincent, making
a rate of $3.50 from the seaboard 10 the
latter place. it is very evident that it will
carry the majority OF the traffic bound Tor
Northern Minnesota and Northwestern Da-
kota. 1t is impossible for the lines this
side the boundary To equal it, and they will
have to satisfy themselves with what busi-
ness they can get. Even if the Pennsylva-
mia was carrying at 81 this year, the same
as il was last, the S12 rate could not be
