How They NARY In India.

At Trichur, in the East Indies, a town
inhabited chiefly by Nairs, the land hold
ing class Of the coast, divorce seems to be
as simple a. marriage is easy. The Nair
lady is a very Independent person. Some
n offers a cloth; that is the proposal. If
she accepts 1t, that is the marriage. If
she gets tired Of her husband she gets rid
Of him and takes up with another, and IL
not held to have behaved disgracefully in
80 doing. To give q cloth as q present is
avery common thing in India. BY cloth
is meant the garment worn by women in
the east, and it may be very plain and
cheap or very rich and costly. But here,
whatever kind Of cloth it be, to give one
is very significant, as O distinguished visi-
tor to Trfchur found when he offered one
to q Natr lady in whose house he had re-
ceived some civility. Whatever opinion
may be held from a moral point of view
of these marriage relations, they result in
manly males and for the most part comely
and very often beautiful females.-Pal

One Cause of Rain Storms.

A correspondent of the Northwest
ern railroad advances a curious theory
for the increasing prevalence of floods
and rain storms. He says that there
are over 10000 locomotives in use in
North America, and estimates that from
them alone over $4,000, 600, 600 cubic
yards of vapor are sent into the atmos-
phere every week, to be returned in
the form of rain, or over 1000, 600, 600
cubic yards a day-"quite enough, "
he says, Ito produce good rainfall
every twenty four hours. Estimating
the number of other non-condensing
engines in use as eight times the num-
Der of locomotives, the total vapor
thus projected into the air every week
in this country amounts to 100000,
900, 900 cubic yards. is this not" he
asks, sufficient for the floods of ter

VENTlLATING OUR HOMES.

An old writer says "When men lived
in houses of reeds they had constitutions
of oak ; when they live in houses of oak
they have constitutions of reeds"
Evidently the truth inculcated is that
the better air and more bountiful its sup
ply the healthier is the inmate of house,
be it palace or cottage. Too often the
very wealth of "A house builder initiates

that ideal home of comfort that it should
be, and the inmate of some wretched,
leaky little hoyel, perched on a rocky
hillside, will have every advantage over
such one as regards vigor of body and
elasticity of spirits.
Science tells us that there is a needed
respiration for the walls of our houses,
and that fortunately for Us, whether
conscious of it or not, the materials of
which our modern houses are made adj

easily pierced by that volatile fluid
which we call air.
Such is the elasticity of air that FORUM
ately for us a slight force only is needed
to put and keep it in motion. The differ
ence of twenty degrees Farenheit in tenn
perature between outdoor air and indoor
air will cause the passage of about eight
cubic feet of air each hour through every

brick. A plastered wall also admits of
the free passage of air, and actually
serves as an efficient filter by arresting
the progress of dust or any of those par
ticles-often injurious-with which the
atmosphere is laden.
Heat is the great motor for ventilation,
whether natural or artificial, and the
great problem in winter is to introduce a
sufficient quantity of pure warmed air to
make ones room comfortable without at
tendant draughts that shall imperil the

Birds are susceptible to training, as
we al know, but it really taxes our
credulity to believe the stories told by
Charles Frederick Holder about the
pigeons of Modena in his new book,
"a Frozen Dragon and Other Tales.
But they are strictly true for all that.
Read what he says: A traveller in
Modena observed youth in pictur-
esque costume leaning out of the win
dow of stone tower, his face show
ing every evidence of excitement and
pleasure. In his hand he bore a long
staff, upon the end of which was
colored flag, with which he seemed to
be signaling to some one in the dis
lance The traveller soon distinguished
several other figures on the roofs of
various houses in the vicinity, all of
whom seemed to be answering the sig
nails. Finally all the flags were with
drawn but that held by one man. He
stationed himself upon an eminence
on the roof raised his staff high above
his head, and from about his feet
sprang into the air a vast flock of
birds. Up they rose, higher and
higher into the heavens, waving and
turning. the morning sun BllSueIllllS
upon their varied colors as they ex-
posed themselves in different positions
to its rays.
When almost out of sight they
turned, and meteor of wings came
rushing down with a roaring sound,
and nearing the housetops again
alighted about the tall figure on the
lofty roof Hardly had this been done
when another figure rose and another
flock dartcd upward These were pure
white, and resembled flecks of silvery
cloud as they swept about These
maneuvers were repeated two or three
times, the birds always returning in
obedience to the waving of the flags.
In Modena there are fully 100 tlocks
of these pigeons, composed Of several
hundred birds each, and they have
been bred and trained from the earliest
times They understand and obey the
signals just as soldiers do on the field
of battle. Sometimes the whistle is
used as signal instead of the flag,
and they obey that too. Philadelphia

DR.. Mackenzie in his little book
about the crown prince and his treat
ment has few pertinent words about
the causes of cancer He says
There can be no question that the
determining cause of its appearance is
in many cases an injury, such as
blow, or condition resulting from an
injury, such as scar, or the persist
ent application to particular spot of
something that keeps the tissue in
famed and angry, such as a jagged
tooth which chafes the tongue. Work
ers in paraiIine and petroleum are pc
culiarly liable to cancer of the parts
which are habitually exposed to the
action of these substances. 1t is well
known that a particular form of cancer
which formerly was common enough
in England is now almost extinct,
simply owing to the fact that the cause
which produced it has ceased to exist.
When SCOT commanded good price it
had to be sifted. This operation ma.
turally involved much of friction
against the skin, whereby irritating
particles were rubbed into it, and
chimney sweeps cancer was fire.
quent result. Nowadays 1t does not
pay to sift the SCOT, and the disease to
which it gave rise has disappeared.
Among the causes of local irrita-
ton heat is certainly one of the most
active. BY far the most common seat
of the malignant disease in men is the
mouth, which is more exposed than
any other part Of the body to irritation
by hot substances. Every surgeon is
familiar with this fact. Whether it be
lower lip, on which the hot stem of
a clay pipe or the smoldering paper of
cigarette has rested day after day, or
a tongue exasperated by the frequent
contact of acrid tobacco smoke. or the
mouthpiece of a foul pipe, or made
raw by ardent liquors. or stung and
blistercd by fiery condiments, the cause
is essentially the same--viz., the scar
ing of the superficial covering by pro
longed heat. In some places, where
hot brasiers are often applied to the
abdomen and thigh, cancer of these
parts is not uncommon, though all but
unknown in either of these situations
elsewhere. Nj. l.. Holbrook, NJ D.,

Wild Dogs Of Assam.

Wherever dogs run wild, as in Aus
tralia and in India, they show many
of the characteristics of wolves. They
have similar habit of hunting in
packs. The people of Assam tell Won
derful stories of the cunning and sa-
gacity of these wild hounds when in
pursuit Of game.
They say that when pack goes out
to hunt, an old dog goes in front and
searches for fresh scent of deer.
Having found this, he starts off alone,
and when he has ascertalned the
whereabouts of the quarry returns to
the pack. which he then disposes in a
circle of mile in diameter round it;
each member of the pack has part
allotted to him.
These precautions having been
taken, the old general starts alone
once more in search of the victim,
and on finding gives chase. The start
led deer of course flies from his enemy,
who follows, giving tongue as a signal
to the rest of the pack. The deer, far
outstripping the dog, rushes on, but is
suddenly met in front by one of the
outlying dogs, who gives chase. The
deer, of course, turning to the right
or left, again rushes off, only to be
met and turned by another dog.
Thus, turned at every point, the
poor animal becomes more and more
exhausted, while the pack gradually
closes in upon it, leaving no avenue
of escape, and dozens of sharp fang'
soon feast on the victim which has il
this way been run TO death. Youths

EARNING EAST AND WEST.

have just returned from brief visit
to my old home among the mountains
and granite hillsides of New Hampshire.
The average farm in that country is say
100 acres, of which perhaps 10 to 20
acres may be called in sense arabic.
On the old homestead which | visited
found growing say one-half acres of oats,
three-quarters of an acre of corn, one
quarter to one-half acre of wheat, few
potatoes, and a small garden. Not to
exceed 20 acres had been mown, and the
hay nicely slowed away in the barn.
The buildings were in excellent repair,
and both inside and outside were as neat
as could be desired. In the woodshed |
noticed nicely stored away years sup
ply of fuel. The man who owns the
place did not inherit it, nor, if | remem-
Der rightly, any other farm. The farm
is a sample of the average in that town
ship, II miles from the nearest railway
station, and no manufacturing village in
the vicinity. 1t is purely an agricul-
tural district, and not considered by any
means first-class even in that State.
There are no mortgages on those farms,
ard almost every proprietor has some
little money at interest.
The world is led to believe that the
wheat capacity of the Northwest is in
exhaustible. The fact is that northern
Minnesota and Iowa have suffered !;
whereas the average wheat yield used
to be 20 bushels to the acre, and farms
produced as high as 40 bushels in the
Red river valley, the average yield of the
State now is but II bushels. 1t costs IS
to raise an acre Of wheat. Where is the
profit? The history of wheat farming in
other portions of the country is this
The prairie lands, the first year they are
broken, will yield 20 bushels. This, per-
haps, pays for the farm. The second
year it is little better. This pays for
the machinery and buildings. The third
year it falls off somewhat. The fourth
year is still worse. The sauguine farmer
says, swell, this is a bad year." and
tries it again. 1t is still worse, and SO
on till the farms are actually mortgaged
for the living expenses list. Paul
Pionecr-Press.
