How Are the Eolka9

"Oh. they're all well except Mother, she's
about the same. Poor Mother, worn out by
household cares, exposure and overwork.
No wonder she gives up at last and takes to
her bed. But OIL how much brighter the
family fireside would be if mothers chair
was not vacant. The doctors don't seem to
be doing her any good. She says their med

feels so weak and longs for strength. "Oh

.}as9n GIRL LIFE IN INDIA.
An Existence SO Miserable as to Be Be-
yond Our Comprehension.

=
An Existence SO Miserable as to Be Be-
7A' 'A yond Our Comprehension.
On the day Of her marriage, the East
Indian girl is put into palanquin, shut
up tight, and carried to her husbands s
house. Hitherto she has been the spoil
ed pet of her mother; now she is to be
the little slave Of her mother-in-law,
upon whom she is to wait, whose COM
mands she is implicitly to obey, and
who teaches her what she is to do to
please her husband-what dishes he
likes best and how to cook them.
If the mother-in-law is kind, she will
let the girl go home occasionally to visit
her mother. Of her husband she sees
little or nothing. She is of no more ac-
count to him than a little cat or dog
would be. There is seldom or never any
love between them, and, no matter how
cruelty she may be treated, she can
never complain to her husband of any
thing his mother may do, for he would
never take his wifes part.
Her husband sends to her daily the
portion of food that is to be cooked for
her, himself and the children. When
it is prepared, she places it on one large
brass platter, and it is sent to her hus-
bands room. He eats what he wishes,
and then the platter is sent back with
what is left for her and her children.
They sit together on the ground and eat
the remainder, having neither knives
forks, nor spoons. @A +ts
While she is young, she is never al
lowed to go anywhere. The little girls
are married as young as three years of age
and, should the boy to whom such child
is married die the next day, she is called
a widow, and is from henceforth doomed
to perpetual widowhood: she can never
marry again. AS widow, she must
never wear any jewelry, never dress her
hair, never sleep on bed-nothing but
a piece of mating spread on the hard
brick floor, and sometimes, in fact, not
even that between her and the cold
bricks; and, no matter how cold the
night might be, she must have no other
covering than the thin garment she has
worn during the day.
She must eat but one meal day, and
that of the coarsest kind of food, and
once in two weeks she must fast twenty
four hours; then not bit of food nor a
drop of water or medicine must pass her
lips, not even if she were dying. She
must never sit down nor speak in the
presence of her mother-in-law, unless
commanded to do so. Her food must be
cooked and eaten apart from the other
women's. She is disgraced and de-
graded woman. She may never even
look on at anv of the marriage cere-
monies or festivals. 1t would be an evil
omen for her to do so.
She may have been high-caste
Brahminic woman, but on her becoming
a widow, any, even the lowest servants
may order her to do what they do not
like to do. No woman in the house
must ever speak one word of love or pity
to her, for it is supposed that if woman
shows the slightest commiseration to
widow. she will Immediately become .
widow herself.-N. Y. Ledger

Nine Lives.

The Kansas alliance must have as
many lives as cat. Early in it's his
tory it was killed for favoring an extra
session of the legislature to consider a
stay law. Later it was killed deader
than door nail by the action of the
county presidents in denouncing Sena-
tor Ingalls,. The Barber county resolu-
ton mot to vote for lawyer for judge
came near being fatal, but considering
the fact that no such resolution ever
passed, the press of the state consented
that the alliance might live for brief
season. Then came that fatal secret
convention of the sixth district, which
killed the. whole movement entirely
Shortly after this the alliance died
again because the Topeka conference
decided to call a convention to put a
peoples ticket in the field. The sur
prising thing about all these deaths is
the speedy and triumphant resurrec-
ton which follows. Each time the alli-
ance digs the coming to life is attended
with louder and longer demonstration
than at any previous time. The alli-
ance will doubtless die great many
deaths between now and next fall, but
after the election the resurrection
ceremonies will be something surpris-
ing to behold.-Ihe 1dU0cate.

WHEN man starts out to hunt
quarrel he isgenerally sure to find one,
and he generally comes off second best
when he thus seeks a wrangle. County
Clerk Jones and number of other
gentlemen were discussing the actions
of certain school board of past years,
in friendly way, when the editor of
our postoffice adjunct overheard their
talk, and stepping into the room where
they were took exceptions to their argu-
ments, the burden of the arguments, or
comments, were that the city school
board had in past years, sent away and
imported teachers when they ought to
have employed home talent. Friend
Caraway being one of those. imported
teachers appeared to think it his bust
ness to inform the gentleman that the
school board did right, etc. This caused
Mr.. Jones to inform our touchy neigh,
Dor chat he. Caraway, was not a sue
cess as a teacher, etc. Because our
neighbor thus ''got it in the neck'' he
perforce must rush into print with his
little quarrel, and make a personal
attack upon Mr.. Jones.

designations.

The meeting of the republican COM
mittee was not embarrassed by resigna-
tions, of it's members. They unlike
those democratic committeeman had
nothing better to which to go. The
alliance is a gOd-send to intelligent
democrats who have become weary of
the company they were compelled to
keep.-Register.
The secretary of the republican
central committee, Mr.. Clayton, told
us there was lone alliance man present,
and he did not resign" AS to the
alliance being ''a god-send to intelli-
gent democrats" we believe that, when
the count is made throughout Kan
sas this fall it will show that there
are thousands of republicans who
were glad of a chance to. abandon the
rotten old republican ship'. that has
nearly swamped: them in debt and
oppression the last twenty years:
The Register need not worry about
the democrats of Kansas; it and It's
ilk have enough on their hands to help
run their own party followers. The
alliance platform is good enough for
any one, be he democrat or republican,
who looks To- the welfare Of the west
and south. VIII Caraway admit as
much?

Prohibitionists Gone Mad.

: They have not taken hydrophobia but
some of them seem to have been
crazed by their pet hobby. A few days
ago an eastern man, who is reputed to
be worth a million dollars, was in the
city and was introduced to a prominent
member of our board of trade, who is a
rabid prohibitionist. In the course of
the conversation the eastern man
remarked that he would like to make
some investments in Topeka if he were
sure that the rrohibitory law would be
repealed. why you must be id
fOol,' said our board of trade man.
s'prohibition is making us richer.,,.
You may be getting richer out of
it," replied the eastern man, ''but I'll
not stay over night in a city that con-
tailis such cranks as you are.''
And he left that evening for neigh
boring city where he has just recently
invested about forty thousand dollars.
And thus Topeka is making a repu-
tatiOn for herself.
How do you like it?-Topeka Repub-
lican.

THE ingalls, Union has the following
to say of that nice man, Botkin, whom

he became beastly drunk, and had to be
assisted to his hotel by some one in the

stomach, or "balance wheel' to his
head, and did not get in that disgraceful
condition. The judge is vulger and
