a year or two ago, while trying case OF
defamation, the district judge Of Lahore,
Mr T. W. Parker, described in his judg-
ment tic manner in which a native news
paper can be started and worked. Little or
no capital is needed. "a few rupees will
purchase the necessary photographic appa-
ratus, and the services Of a small establish

Dressman, complete the arrangements" Al
most without exception vernacular news
papers ore autographed, movable type being
for the most part unsuited for the presenta-
ton of Oriental characters. A photographic
press will cost under el5 complete. The
editor, in whose name the paper Is usually
registered, may be smart lad fresh from
school on monthly salary of tl and there
are few editors who would not gladly aban-
don journalism for a government post worth
$50 year.
News is mostly obtained by the simple and
uncostly process of translation from the Eng
lish daily papers, the latest story from the
bazar being thrown in occasionally by way
of sensation. A native paper rarely sells

AList Of Health Suggestions.

The hot pastry and iced drinks Of this
country have much to do with the thin
ness Of its people.
Disordered digestion in adults is often
the outcome of being compelled or in
duced to eat rich food in childhood.
Up 10 middle life most people are care
less regarding their physical condition,
hence persons who ought to live long
lives have their days curtailed. The
time to pay STRICT attention to the bodily
health is during the vigorous portion OF
life.
1t is quite a common practise TO doso
infants with teas. oils and sweetened
waters when any real or imaginary i'll is
upon them. In some cases it is necessary
to REINFORCE the natural supply Of nour-
ishment, but where possible, natures
fount should be relied on chiefly.
For those who hurry to and from their
meals soup is recommended as a prepare
tory agent for the reception Of solid food.
For man TO hurriedly rush TO his meals
and gulp down meat, vegetables and pie,
without short pause of rest for the
stomach, is nearly akin 10 suicide.
Toasting bread destroys the yeast germs
and converts the starch into soluble
substance which is incapable of fermen-
tation. Dry toast will not sour the
stomach nor produce any discomfort, and
is, therefore, more agreeable 10 weak
digestion than any other bread.
A STOPPING position, maintained for
any length of time, tends more 10 under.
mice the health than is supposed. An
erect position should be observed, whether
sitting, standing or lying. To sit with
the body leaning forward on the stom-
ach or to one side, with the heels Gle
waited on level with the hands, Is not
only in bad taste, but exceedingly de1ri-
mental 10 health; it cramps the stomach,
presses the vital organs, interrupts the
free motion OF the chest and enteebleS
the functions Of the abdominal and tho
racic organs, and, in fact, unbalances the
whole muscular system.-Household.

Comparatively few people are aware Of the
percentage they pay the bookmakers Of q
race track for the privilege of betting. Com
mon sense teaches that these men, having
such large expenses 70 meet, must have a
pretty sure thing on the books, but there are
not many who walk up 10 the stand and place
their money who realize the full meaning OF
their chances. Bookmakers figure to get
about 80 per cent. of all the money bet. This,
OF course, is sometimes varied, according TO
circumstance, but 1t IS on that basis they ar
range their books, and the natural result Is
that man who goes to the races with 500
and bets regularly 500 each day, II he should
win the same number of bets each day that
he loses. the amounts Of each bet icing fairly
averaged, he viii find that in about two
weeks his 500 has dwindled away IN percent
ages that the bookmakers have taken.
An average race Is about eight horses, and
the odds are consequently s. TO 81 against
the better. To make on absolutely square
book the odds should lie 50 placed that the
total would he equal 10 sOi % S. Instead
of this, however, they are placed to give
the bookmaker a clear 30 per cent This per-

It is probable that embroidery will
soon play q prominent part in men 5
dress. Thus far it has only shown itself
in connection with dress vests, which are
embroidered with a degree of elabora-
ton depending upon the taste and the
pocketbook Of the wearer. The coming
fall will. however, witness the introduc-
ton Of embroidery upon coats, vests and
trouseys. Thus far none Of these gar
ments have been made up in America,
