India there are 1OO,0OO,OOO women.
Twenty million of these nre widows, and
nearly 1000, 900 are "child- wilows"-
under the age of 19-who are enduring
bondage worse than slavery. He said
it was the custom for man in India to
have rs high rs 100 wives, some of whom
were compelled to marry rs early rs 8
or years of age. When the husband
died his numerous wives joined the vast
army of slaves. These widows are COM

remarkable suit will soon be
brought before the criminal court of
London, the causes of which are as
follows:
On the Goth of May, DR.. B., a dis
tinguished pulmonary specialist,
was consulted by a man so skeleton
like in appearance that he could
scarcely be recognized as member
of the human family. After a care
examination the doctor said:
Il can do nothing for you; within
ten days you will be dead"
With the calmness of despair, the
young man, aided by servant. pre-
pared to depart, AS he was about
to cross the threshold, DR.. B. de-
tanned him a moment and asked:
care you rich?"
"Very-a millionaire, in fact" re-
piled the wretched man.
'Then order your coachman to
drive you to the Victoria station,
start for Dover by the II o'clock
train, take passage on steamer for
Marseilles, and thence by rail to
Nice. For six months-should God
spare your lite-eat neither bread,
nor fruit, nor meat, neither drink
wine, but eat cress and only cress,
even drink the broth of it. By this
means only can your life be saved, if
such a thing is possible. The method
is rather a strange one, but l offer
it to a dying man; try it. -
Six months later a robust young
man crossed the ante .room-whe re d
number of patients were waiting
and entered the office of DIR. B. At
sight OF the famous physician tears
filled his eyes, and rushing up to
him he embraced him and said:
"My dear doctor, will you accept

tor.

that you have saved my life. Don't

p, the millionaire, whom you saved
from an inevitable death by your
wonderful treatment. For six
months carefully obeyed your or
ders and took your inestimable cress
prescription. My improvement was
so miraculous that | am now in ex-
cellent health" and to verify his re-
marks he beat his chest vigorously
with his fist.
"What, what!' exclaimed the as
tonished physician, "you are the
man upon whom l experimental
with cress?"
"Yes, I am he," responded the
young man; 81 returned to the city
yesterday, and come to you today
to express my gratitude"
The doctor signed to his assistant
to withdraw, and then quickly draw
ing from his pocketla small revolver,
he leveled it. and, in an instant, his
patient fell dead at his feet.
Without q moments delay he COM
menced to make post-mortem ex-
animation. When the police arrived
he was carefully examining the lungs
ofhis victim with microscope and
studying the effect of the cress on
the diseased parts. To the officers
OF the law, he said:
II killed this man for an immediate

terry which may be u boon to all
