The Hindoo Peasants Wages.

The average Hindoo peasant does not,
as things are, earn sufficient to procure
life's necessaries; and very large pro-
portion of what he does earn is taken
from him by the government in the form
of taxation. As result we get the
widespread disease and physical de-
terioration of the people and constantly
recurring famines, each one more seri-
GUS than its predecessor.-London

The Difference Was silent.

A well-known young hardware clerk Who
thinks he is one Of natures especial pets
called on a Logan Avenue belle few days
ago and forthwith commenced ringing the
changes on his favorite subject himself.
Il declare, " he said, Il had a most shock
ingly narrow escape last Tuesday. I was
walking along near the curbing in front of
half completed building, when careless
workman on the wall dropped brick. 1t
struck on the scaffolding and bounding out
lit squarely on the head of mule which
was just behind me and cut deep cash on
the animals head. It was the closest shave
l ever experienced. just think Of it;
might have been in the mules place if
had walked only a little slower. The
difference between us was just that slight
difference of time"
"Yes," dreamily answered the young
lady, the difference between you was very
slight" There is hardware clerk in this
city who will tell no more mule stories.-

An Electrical Crematory.

This is said to have been devised by o
process described as follows: The body,
being shrouded in sheets made of asbestos,
is LAID upon frame composed of fire
bricks, while at the head and foot are large
copper plates, to which the leads from spe-
cially constructed dynamos of large electro
motive force is attached. The body appar-
emily occupies the position of a filament in
an incandescent lamp, and upon the cur
rent being passed through it, would be in
stantly carbonized, while, as the air would
have free access to it, the process of de-
struction, or rather decomposition, would
be immediate. Tho process appears to
have the recommendation of great rapidity
of action and freedom from many of the
objections to cremation in the ordinary

yEWsPAPEHS IN NAPLES

Journalism has taken q squirt II
Italy. In Naples there is q regular
newspaper reading craze. and even the
begears gather around some unfort1l'
nate possessor of daily paper as he
reads aloud on the street. But the
people soon get tired of any one paper
and clamor for new one. The conse
onence is that almost every day some
naner dies and another takes its place.
One of the most certain ways OF killing
a newspaper in Italy is to fill it witt
news What they want is good loca'
lies and blood-curdling sensations

Our Little Owe "a. Holland.

Holland is very strange country.
Most of the land is below the level OF
the sea. The people have built bikes
ON the sea shore, and ON Ghe banks Of
the rivers, to keep the water out.
These bikes are high banks Of earth.
En- some places they are built of stone.
They plant trees ON the bikes of earth,
and the roots keep the water from
washing them away. 'Onsmany of the
dikes there are dong hnes'of windmills.
They are used foe pumping out the wa
ter from the inside of the bikes. There
are great MANY caualsiin Holland. In
some of the cities the canals are used
;as streets. Boats go oil over the coun-
try. A great many people spend their
whole lives ON the water. Our little
ones there are often bonn, brought up,
and spend their days on boats. The
whole family of the boatman eat and
sleep in the little cabin. The children
play about the deck. The Dutch wo-
men are very neat, they keep the cabin
las nice as paraor. Tle space is small
on the boat, but the home is just as il
would be on the land. The growing
plants, and pussy eating her milk, seem
| to be odd sights On boat. Some OF
\ the vessels go out to sea- The family
go with them. The fisherman often has
| his wife and children ON board. The
mother of the little ones has to work
/ like man. She helps catch the fish
4 and land them. Sometimes mamma
| has to steer the boat, Sometimes she
and the boys have to drag the boat with
4 "a rope while papa steers.
\ In Holland dogs have ITO work fol
their living. They are harnessed tc
small carts or wagons. They,draw the
milk, butter, and cheese, fruit and veg.
etables, to market. The farmers wife
usually goes with them, and sells the
load in the city. have seen carts and
wagons drawn by from one to four dogs.
Sometimes half dozen of the little
ones take q ride for pleasure The
children in Holland, as in America ano
England, are very fond of flying Kites
