AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
President Ingan. Denies Cutting Rates.

CINCINNATI. July s.-President NJ. 4. In
gals, of the new Big Four. was asked by
the Associated Press what he had to say
about the charges of prominent officials of
the Baltimore IL Ohio railway that he I'm
gallsl had been cutting rates right and left
He replied that the Chesapeake q Ohio
had been as conservative as any other
trunk line. that since May IS it had not re-
ceiveG bushel of grain at Newport News
He said there was no more truth in this
last Baltimore uuterance as there was in a
former one that the Chesapeak 81 Ohio had
reduced rates cents below the Baltimore
~ Ohio cut. The fact is" said Mr..
Ingalls,, ..the Chesapeake & Ohio and
the Big -Four both have declined to
meet the cut. and they will not
meet 1T until after the meeting of the
railroad managers In New York on Wednes-
day. The Baltimore * Ohio people are all
my personal friends, and / am very much
grieyed that they should take this course
The reduction of rates seems to me en-
tirely uncalled for. / hope. on reflection,
they will withdraw. | notice the Balti-
more .grain-dealers approve of it, but peo-
pie who benefit by a cut are apt to be in
favor of it, though / have never found in
the past that their approval amounts to
much when it comes dividend time.D

Pc king Streets and Houses.

There are two great streets which in
tersect at central point, and from all
parts of these other streets, lanes and
alleys run in straight lines. Every cor.

there are no winding thoroughfares.
The houses are all very low, with flat
roofs, and did not see a single good.

Picking that strike the observer first and
fade fast from his recollection. Wheth.
Ell wide or narrow, dark ally or main ar
terry, they are entirely unpaved-the
native alluvial soil and the native sewage
form every Pekingese pathway. From
this state of things spring several curl

even, the holes in them so numerous and
deep, the ridges in them SO high and
steep, that no vehicle with springs can
navigate half mile The only convey

cart, an enormously strong and heavy
square two-wheeled vehicle, drawn by
mule, the passenger squatting tailor
fashion inside and the driver sitting on
the shaft. If you go out to dinner OF

Samoan Taboos.

In Samoa the natives frequently resort
to what is known as the taboo" to
frighten thieves from their bread-fruit
trees. Among n superstitious people so
simple devices does much to preserve
honesty and order.
The white shark taboo" was and is
an object of terror to a thief. Co
coanut leaves are plated in the form of
shark, fins and all, and this is suspend
ed from the bread-fruit tree. 1t is equiv
alent to an expressed imprecation that
the thief might be devoured by the
white shark the next time he went to
fish.
The 'scross-stick taboo" was piece OF
any sort of stick suspended horizontally
from the tree. 1t expressed the wish OF
the owner of the treee that any thief
touching it might have disease run
ming across his body, and remain fixed
there till he died.
The s.tic-doloureux taboo" was made
by fixing a spear in the G ound close by
the trees which the owner wished to
guard 1t was expressive of a wish that
the thief might suffer from the agonies Of
that disease.
The 'sdeath taboo" is made by pour
ing some oil into calabash, and bury
ing it near the tree. The spot is marked
by little hillock of white sand. The
sight of one of these places is effectual in
soaring away a thief.
The ''rat taboo" is a small cocoanut-
leaf basket, filed with ashes from the
cooking house, and two or three small
stones and suspended from the tree. 1t
signifies wish that rats may eat holes
in the fine mats of the thief, and destroy
any cloth or other property he may
value.
If man wishes the lightning to strike
any one who steals from his land, he
plaits some cocoanut leaflets in the form
of a small square mat and suspends 1t
from a tree with the addition of some
white streamers of native cloth. This Is
the THUNDER taboo" The thief be
heves that if he trespasses he or some
of his children may be struck with light
ming, or that his own trees may be
blasted by lightning, or rather by the
thunder, which he supposes to be the
agent of destruction.-Youth's CompGa-
son.

The Kansas Legislature, during the
season lately closed, enacted a law for
the encouragement OF the manufacture
of sorghum sugar. The act authorizes
any county, city or township to issue
bonds not exceeding $4,000 in each
case to be devoted to the building of
sugar factories, and several companies
have already organized under the pro-
visions of this act and subscribed heavy
amounts of stock. 1t is an experiment
which will be regarded with great in
terest.

Useful Suggestions for Persons I'm Charge
OF InvalIds.
Even in the depth of summer it is
often wise to keep slight fire during
the night To avoid rousing the sick
sleeper fill paper bags with coal and
lay.a sufficient number of these bags
in a scuttle. In this way fire may
be replenished without the slightest
noise.
1t is essential in selecting a person
to. watch with sick person that q
healthy person, with all their fine
senses alert to catch any change,
should be employed. A slightly deaf
person will cause great annoyance,
because the patient must exert him
self unduly to make himself heard.
The eye-sight of the nurse must be
perfect to note any change, her. feel
ing alert to notice change of tenn
perature. her smelling power without
q flaw to make sure of fresh, pure
atmosphere, and her taste delicate
enough to allow her to appreciate the
difference between poorly-cooked food
and that properly prepared. A
AuBSIy Or nervous woman or a. selfish
or self-absorbed woman is utterly out
of place in a sick-room.
All good housekeepers always
keep bundles of old flannel, of old
linen and of old cotton where either
can be readily obtained if necessary
In the sick-room. Bandages of old
flannel are invaluable in cases of
rheumatism or of sore throat. In
fact, thee is nothing else that will
take the place of such half worn
goods. New flannel would be of COM
paratively little use for the purpose.
A small flannel bag filled with hops
and wrung out in boiling water will

There should be sufficient bandages

FEMALE PHYSICIANS.


Their Remarkable Advancement In All
Parts OF India.
In India lady doctors are now IA
miliar to us, and although ut first they
may have been somewhat ridiculed by
those who could not appreciate their
value, they are fast making their pres
ence felt for good in almost every cor
ner Of the land. So far as the native
women Of this country are concerned,
1t Is gratifying to note that their sue
cess in all branches of college educa-
ticn is progressing to the entire satis-
faction of the professors. Not only
have they proved themselves to be
generally we'll fitted for the arduous
duties attendant upon medical studies,
but they have, in some cases. succeed
ed beyond all ordinary expectations.
Bombay, Madras, the Northwest
Provinces and the Punjaub all return
fattering reports on the subject, and
when we say that q class OF female
students can average over seven hun
dred marks out of one thousand In a
surgical examination, as we hear has
recently been the case, little can be
SAID against their power OF skill and
aptitude for gaining knowledge in one
Of the most important branches OF the
medical profession. Indeed, It ap-
pears not unlikely that women in
India may prove themselves by no
means inferior to men in most
branches of the. practice of medicine,
If the progress made by native females
In hospital work may be taken as a
criterion. In many cases they have
proved themselves superior to male
students In college examinations, and
in no way behind them in application,
power Of reasoning and resource. The
act that much OF their success is due
to tho great interest taken In their
studies by their lecturers and profess
sors is not without a certain special
