Hindu Child Marriages.

4 224ssentlal Tor the honor of a
HindaTAmily of good caste, says a
writer IN a contemporary, that it
should containno unmarried daughter
ofmaturey years. The existence o such
adaughteri is not only social disgrace,
buta religious crime. When, therefore,
q female infant is born, the first idea
OF her fathers mind is not one of
pleasure, nor perhaps of very active
regret, but simply how to find a kus.

she should become a wife in our sense
Of the word. 1t sufices that she should
be given in marriage, and go through
the ceremony ofthe Seven Steps, which
completes the religious rite. Aged
Brahmans ofgood family still go about
thecountry, marrying, for a pecuniary
consideration, female infants whom
they sometimes never see again. With

house. So long as he lived she could
marry no other man; when he died she
became a widow for life. The Hindu
child widow is looked upon as a thing
apart and accursed, bearing the penal

committed in a past existence. Her
hair is cut short, or her head is shaw

childish clothes for the widows coarse

festival or family gathering; the very
sight OF her is regarded as an i'll omen.

How q Japanese Woman Travels.

There was a Japanese family on
board, swells of the most approved
pattern: who wore European dress
with ease, and were devoted to cheese,
bitter beer, and other foreign things
that the Japanese are usually slow
to adopt. The Japanese always
wear their best clothes when travel
ing, so as to declare their rank
and means, and the little woman
rang the changes in her wardrobe
three times q day, and her husband
kept up with her. She had many as
founding hats, huge-brimmed and
high-crowned things, bristling with
wings, loops, birds, and daggers, and
when it came to leaving the ship each
hat was brought up on deck tied in
a large cotton handkerchief, and
every article they possessed Travelled
separately. Their baggage made a
heap that measured six feet every
way, and thelargest piece was a Jap
anese basket no larger than q good
valise. There were thirty small
pieces to be brought up and counted,
and passed over the side of the ship
and counted again, and the little
boxes and bottles and jars and hand
|herchief bundles and loose pieces of
clothing would have sent an average
man mad. The little Japanese

A Dream OF Fair Women.

Tennyson in his exquisite poem, dreams oi
a long procession of lovely women of ages
past. This is all very well. but the laureate
would have done the world a greater service
if he had only told the women of the present
how they could improve their health and en-
nance their charms, This he might ensily
have done by recommending the use of DR..
Pierce's 'Favorite Prescription. Health is
the best friend of beauty, and the innumer-
able ills to which women are peculiarly sub
ject, its worst enemies. Long experience has
proven that the health of womankind and
the '!Favorite Prescription" walk hand in
hand, and are inseparable. 1t is the only
medicine for women, sold by druggists, un-
der Il positive guarantee from the manufac-
turers, that it will give satisfaction in every
case, or money will be REFUNDED. This guar
antee has been printed on the bottle-wrap-
per, and faithfully carried out for many
wears.

stevens Point.

The scandal which two years ago re-
suited in the death, at Stevens Point, Of
Banker A. B. Morse, at the hands Of
Willis ". Haseltine, on the Sd inst. eul-
minated in the murder Of Mr.. Haseltine
by John d. CurraH, whose name was
also associated in the scandal. Mr.
Haseltine had been out riding and re-
turned to the livery stable where
he kept his horse about II a.
NJ. He then started to walk 10
his office. He was going down
First Street, opposite the court house,
and had got as far as the stairway Of the
johnson building when he was fired
upon. He fell down on his face and
expired almost instantly. His body
was taken to the council rooms, where
Drs. Philips, Meyer, Rood and Gregory
made an examination. and found nine
buckshot wounds in the head and the
upper part Of the body. 4 revolver
was picked up close 10 where Haseltine
was lying with two chambers empty.
Whether this is Haseltine's revolver or
not, can't be told, but tie testimony Of
witnesses goes TO show that Curran fired
the fatal shot from shotgun.
