Household Work in India.

In the average Indian family the strictest
domestic economy is the rule of life and the
household work is done by the'women of the
household, not, as with Us, by paid servants.
Servants there are, of course, in all Indian
families, but they are, as a rule on a totally
different footing from the European domestic.

with a clientele. for whom they perform GER
tain customary services for a customary
wage The distribution of the daily work.

with the 1naterfamilias, who may be best de-
scribed as the oldest woman in the family
proper under coverture, for widows can have
no authority.
The caokng, as the work of honor, she
keeps to herself, but the house cleaning, the
washing, the care of the children, the draw

A Horse In Tropical Africa.

Several incidents of recent African ex-
pioration call to mind the stories that
were told Of the early travels of white
men In this country. A white man on
horseback is very unusual spectacle in
tropical Africa, and the animal Mr.
Hodister rode a few months ago made
almost as much of a sensation as the
horses that Cortez introduced into Mex
leo. HOLSTERS journey was a short
one, extending only from Landana, on
the coast, to Bona, on the Congo, but it
led the traveller through a densely
peopled region of which little is vet
known
My horse" he writes, "made a great
sensation At sight of him all the
women In the villages at first were pet
rifed with astonishment. They stood
motionless, with their eyes fixed on the
strange animal Coming to themselves
at last, with their hands raised above
their heads, they raised their cry of
'Ho, no, hor expressive Uf boundless as
constituent. Some of them threw them
selves upon the ground. shifting their
breasts. Could it be, they said, that
such a great beast. with a white man
above him, was harmless? Such an ami
NAL must certainly eat black people
when we convinced them at last that
horse was harmless and that he was
very useful animal they ventured nearer
They had no eyes for anything but the
horse. AS we passed through the vii
lagos nany of the inhabitants followed
Us. The men turned back after mile
or 30, but many of the women, who
showed the greatest interest and curl
osity, followed us for three miles. When
my horse trotted they trotted, too, their
eyes fixed on the beast UnmindfuI of
where they were stepping they fell into
the burrows in the manioc fields, and
tumbled down in the tall grass. They
kept pointing the animals out to the ba-
bies that were fastened on their backs
From some of the villages Populations
came TO me asking me to stop a while in
their towns that they might have time
TO admire the prodigy"
A whole menagerie of African curl
osities would not excite SO much atten-
ton in the civilized world as this horse
aroused in q part of Africa where the
zebra never roams and no species of
the horse family is known.-New York

Kentucky's Mountain Beauties

While the mountain men are generally
unprepossesSing in appearance, having
thin frames, thin faces, thin scraggy
boards and trembling open mouths, the
young women are fair. Their cheeks
are red, their forms are plump and
rounded, their limbs taper and their car
rage is graceful When they laugh,
which they do frequently and heartily,
they show white teeth. in spite OF the
fact that they learn to smoke stoneware
pipes with fish pole stems at an age
that would compel northern man 70
marry very young lass if he would
have a wife with bearahle breath. The
forms of the mountain girls are such as
nature provides There are thousands
of them who never saw a corset, and who
never will: neither do they bang their
hair, but they are no less attractive, even
to northern eyes, on account OF either
popularity. and If one doubts this. bet

A DOGS DEVOTION.
The Dukes Only Companion in Prison
and Mourner at His Death.

| The Dukes Only Companion in Prison
and Mourner at His Death.
| The Due dEnghien had spaniel which
| passionately lamented over his death, and we
| wonder if Napoleon suffered any qualms of
remorse when he read of it fercely bemoan-
| ing its masters untimely fate in the moat
| of Vincennes At the first halt the Due
d'Enghiens abductors made, their prisoner
requested them to send back to Ettenheim
for his dog and his clothes" He did well
to ask for his dog, for at Strasburg Napoleon
bad ordered that his friends and servants
were to leave him. His dog, however, since
it lacked ''the divine power to speak words, J"
was not included in the order. In the
brief days of life which remained to him,
this speeches friend was mis- only COM
panion, went with him a prisoner to Paris,
and entered Vincennes at his heels. On his
arrival there be was depressed, and his dog
sided up to him, and Lamartine says: The
spaniel which he had kept by his side the
whole route rested his head on his masters
knee" The dog beguilod him out of dark
thoughts of his doleful prospects, his spirits
rose and he left the window out Of which he
had been disconsolately staring, and called
his dog to share his supper with him. The
faithful creature was on guard beside him
when one midnight he was aroused from his
sleep to appear before his Judge The duke.
sure of his innocence, went to the mockery Of
trial with Sanguine hopes of a speedy re-
lease He did not know that during his trial
his grave was being dug. After leaving the
Judgment hall the prisoner, still unsuspicious
of the haste to fulfill the sentence from which
he expected a pardon, WAS talking to Lieut..
Noiret. q soldier who had known his grand
father, the prince of Condo. A historian
says she played with his dog" while chat
ting gayly to the soldier. The poor
beast had been i'll at ease, for some
subtle instinct warned it that there
was danger afoot. It's dullest spirits
were raised by its masters assurance; but
it was short lived contentment, for the
duke and his dumb friend were soon parted
by death. The prisoner was ordered to FOL
low the commander down darksome stair
way, which led into the moat The duke
hesitated, but tho dog followed without ques-
ton at his masters heels The duke, when
be reached the french, realized the truth He
cut lock of his hair, gave it and ring to
Noiret to send TO his betrothed, Princess
Charlotte de Rohan. AS o'clock struck the
soldiers fred, and Napoleon's young victim
fell The spaniel, in the dim light-for it
was gloomy March morning, and the moat
was lit by solitary lantern-had not seen its
masters face and was unaware Of his evil
fate till it saw him dead In vain it fawned
upon him who, but a few minutes previously,
had stroked and commanded his pleased
favorite. 1t was with difficulty that the
poor animal could be torn from the spot and
given to one Of the princes servants, who
took him to the Princess Charlotte.-All the

kissing I'm America.

Americans have reduced kissing to its
minimum as a social feature compared to
any other nation except the English. The
| English kiss less than we do, that is, their
women are not SO gushy in manner as ours,
and don't kiss such big range of incidental
feminine acquaintance, and their children
are kept more out of sight and so don't get
kissed SO much. But the French have one
advantage of us both that probably about
balances the fact that their men kiss occa-
sioDaily. They kiss the cheek habitually
Here it is very funny to watch women about
the cheek business You just notice the next
time you see q bevy of them meet. 1t is per-
fectly obvious to the meanest capacity that,
as rule, they don't want to kiss each other
They all long to get out of it, and each tries
to modify the discomfort of contact by
dabbing ct the cheek of the other: but,
at the same time, there is such a general
feeling that turning the cheek is a slight
that nobody will do it, and the result is
very clumsy nose humping match. 1t is
pity that it should not come to be understood
that it is not a slight, but a pretty social
form for one woman to turn to another first
one cheek and then the other to be kissed 1t
would save them a great deal, for no one can
compute the amount Of suffering women en-
dure kissing each other because it is ex
pected" One would think that their mar
tyrdom would make them alive to the mis-
cries of their offspring from the same cause,
but it doesn't seem to. Why does any one
want to kiss a screaming, kicking, protesting
babyi Does anybody want tol Do people
do it to fatter the mother7 Well if the
mother is wise she'd better have some plac-
ards hung on her darlngs bearing the le-
gend, Lips off" Give the young ones a
