children never know a pain; but in their
Ignorance of the simplest rules of health,
the mothers often cause sickness to come
to the beings they love more than life.
Diseases of the eyes are very prevalent in
India. and the children suffer ever moro
than adults. A curious custom prevails
of drawing a black line at the base of the
lower eyelashes with a preparation called
surma. They think this protects the eyes
from Inflammation, and also hat it adds
to their beauty.
In sickness they formerly depended
upon their priests, who have a little
knowledge OF roots and herbs. Now
there are well educated native doctors in
all the cities, who are employed by
government to take charge of hospitals,
under the superintendent of an English
physician. But the poor people in the
villages suffer greatly from the lack of
medical treatment. When a child Is sick.
the anxious mother gets the best advice
and medicine she can, and redoubles her
prayers to the gods. If the child dies
she is overwhelmed with sorrow and
despair, fearing that some sin of her w
has caused the death Of the child, or that
its sin has hurried 1t into another exist
ence where, as a savage beast or venom
GUS reptile, 1t must expatiate its guilt.
The vague doctrine of the transmigration
of souls does not afford much comfort to
the Hindu. No hope of recognition or
reunion is held out; and yet, with the
utmost inconsistency, the people often
speak of paradise and of meeting dear
ones there.-Mrs. E.. ]. Humphrey In

Lying Unprontable-A Fable.

A rat seeing a cat approaching and
finding no avenue of escape went boldly
up to her and said: madame, 1 have
just swallowed a large of dose of bane, and
in accordance with the instructions upon
the label have come out of my hole to
die. Will you kindly direct me to a
spot where my corpse will prove pecu-
liarly of~fensive9" s'Since you are SO Ill, "
replied the cat, 81 will myself transport
you to a spot which 1 think will suit"
So saying, she stuck her teeth through
the nape of his neck and trotted away
with him. This was more than he had
bargained for, and he shrieked shrilly
with the pain. "Ahr' said the cat, "a
rat who knows he has but a few minutes
to live never makes a fuss about a little
agony. don't think, my fine fellow,
you have taken poison enough to hurt
either you or me-" So she made a meal
of him. If this fable does not teach that
rats get no profit by lying 1 should be
pleased to know what in the mann of
common sense or uncommon sense it does
teach.-Translated from the Persian.

The babies in Japan have sparkling
look SO quaint and old fashioned, exactly
like those doll babies that are sent over
here to America. Now, in our country
young babies are apt to put everything
in their mouths; a button or a pin, or
anything, goes straight to the little, rosy,
wide open mouth, and the nurse or
mamma must always watch and take
great care that baby does not swallow
something dangerous. But in Japan
they put the small babies right down in
the sand by the door of the house, or on
the floor, but I never saw them attempt
to put anything in their mouths unless
they were told to do so, and no one
seemed to be anxious about them.
When little boys or girls in Japan are
naughty and disobedient, they must be
punished, of course; but the punishment
is very strange. There are small pieces
Of rice paper called moxa, and these are
lighted with a match and then put upon
the finger or hand or arm of the naughty
child, and they burn a spot on the tender
skin that hurts very much. The child
screams with the pain, and the red hot
mox sticks to the skin for a moment or
two, and then goes out; but the smart
ing burn reminds the little child of his
fault. I do not like these moxas. /
think it is a cruel punishment. But per-
haps it is better than a whipping. Only
1 wish little children never had to be
punished.-A. V. r. Eastlake in st.

A malady that seems to nave become
alarmingly prevalent of late goes by the
name of nervous dyspepsia" The doc.
tors are getting up as great n run on this
term as they did on malaria Il few years
ago If a man has "a queer fancy Of any
sort. or a woman imagines that a burglar
Is really under the bed, 1t is n certain case
of nervous dyspepsia, Just as an ordinary
headache Is set down to malaria. 1t is
astonishing, though, how heartily some
of these victims of nervous dyspepsia can
fill themselves with food, and how ready
they all are TO grab every good thing go
ing that they can reach. 1t is sheer hum
bug in the doctors to use this term at all,
or to encourage people in the notion that
they have any such malady, but then
there is quite as much humbug among
the doctors as among any other class,
possibly even q little more. Hundreds of
men in perfectly good general health. and
attending TO business as regularly as they
ever did, will tell you, If asked how they
are, that they are utterly wretched from
nervous dyspepsia, and go on to dilate on
the symptoms at q tiresome length. The
doctor has told them that's what's the
matter, when probably the real trouble Is
only a stomach temporarily out of order,
and as the phrase sounds well they repeat
1t at every opportunity. 1t is a peculiar
ity of the man who fancies he has nervous
dyspepsia to be more of a crank than any
other crank--New York Cor. Detroit

Not that the a Is either yelled or
turned aside-it is simply vague and
confused. Then he notes, concentrating
the same intensity of observation, that
the figure, which glides rather than
walks, stirs no leaf nor blossom, though
many must be brushed violently in that
close growing jungle. AS the Shape
passes little gaps of the open, no shadow
nor reflection falls on the still waters of
the lagoon, and the shy cranes feeding
among the reeds, ever alert t. take wing
at the nearing football of a human being,
now forage on in indisturbed serenity,
while the timid humming birds still
hover fearlessly over the bells of the
convolvulus.
Fortunate hears a crash behind him,
and he knows by instinct that Felipe has
fallen, senseless from terror, but he does
not turn aside, nor avert his eyes from
the horror. On, and on, till close beside
him, the Thing approaches, but the stout
heart of the young man triumphs over
his natural t~errors, in the highest form
of courage.
The Mystery makes an imperative ges-
ture, and Fortunate moves forward in
prompt compliance. His ghostly guide
recedes througD the jungle till he reaches
the palm trees; he parts the rank ferns
and trailing briers, and the young mar
sees upon the ground an antique, cum
brous mattock, half covered by decaying
fallen leaves and very rusty. Again the
Specter signals a command, and the
young man again obeys that fierce and
awful gesture, wrenching the tool from
its imbedded place among the clinging
creepers, and digging furiously, impelled
by feverish excitement to a strength alb
normal. He is bathed in p~erspiration,
his face is crimson, his breath comes SO
short and fast that he can scarce con-
tinue, yet his energy flags not.
Suddenly his pick strikes through a
mass Of rotten wood. There is q jingle
of metal, and as he wrenches the tool
away, he tears off a great flake of the
decayed timber, and lays bare a gleam-
ing heap Of gold.
He lifts his gaze to his terrible COM
panion, and behold no more the antique
garb and the vague confusion of out
lines. Clear, distinct in the broad light
of day, it is a skeleton that stands erect
before himl
hen he knows no more until long
hours later, when the sea breeze fans
him back to consciousness, and he re-
wives, slowly and unremembering at
first, raises himself to a sitting posture,
and looks about him.
Yonder a few steps distant lies Felipe,
cold and rigid, in the distorted position
in which he has fallen. The eyeballs
are still rolled upward and the lips drawn
back, in the contortion of mortal terror,
from which they will relax to conscious
ness never, for Felipe is a dead man.
Fortunate, gathering up the threads of
his remembrance, turns back to the pit
he has uncovered beneath the palm trees,
and there is still the cleaning yellow
mass of gold, with the bones of a human
frame lying in CHASTITY disorder upon it

When the railway was first opened be

IN object of great terror to the supersti

thought there must certainly be some
witchcraft or magic in an invention which
could make a train of heavy cars run

Others peeped timidly overRthe palisadc

OF the smoke breathing creature. which
they believed to be a living monster, and
when the steam whistle sounded they

took to their heels at once.
But little by little this terror began to

to go to and fro by train, and the simple
country folk thought that what they did
could not be wrong By degrees the
peasants themselves began to try the
''smoke wagons" too, and one day an old
man named Ivan Petrovitch Maslof, who
had never been out of his own village till
then. made up his mind to go and nave n
look at Mother Moscow" which all Rus
sian peasants reverence as the finest city
in the world. and the real capital Of
Russia.
Now 1t happened that the down express
and the up express met each other ut the
station of Bologoe midway between Mos

hour to have supper. Among the crowd
of people that got out of the other train
Ivan suddenly recognized an old friend

A New York lady whose children, sew
eral in number, are spending SINE weeks
with relatives in the country, received a
telegram the other day from the cousin
to whom they had been intrusted, which
read: Charlotte Sewer next door drove
us out of the house to aunt Emma's."
The mother of the family, a resident of
New York, had never heard of the indi-
vidual Charlotte Sewer, and was torn
with anxiety to know why she had
driven the children and cousin out of
their house. A letter by the next mail
gave details and also explained that the
