He Lost His Cue,

A small cyclone, in which drunken
woman and dismayed Chinafllan played
parts, was seen yesterday on Montgomery
street. 1t was total surprise for John as
the woman descended upon him from q
convenient stairway and he found himself
whirling in space until his captor saw fit to
release him by cutting his cue with pair
of shears, when he fell to the ground. Be-
fore he could regain his feet the woman
made her escape.

To Keep from Drowning

A Bluff hammered but philosophi>

coursed on the familiar but always
interesting topic of the sea and sail
Ors to a young man who bore him

power Of water. Hundreds Of peo-
pie have gone to the bottom of the
ocean in Il vain endeavor to climb
upon the small objects which foated
near them in the water, when if they
had but rusted the water to support
the greater proportion of the weight
of their bodies, disaster would not
have come to them at the time it
did. 1t is only necessary to keep the
head above the waters surface, and
to do this n need only lay a hand
upon any floating object that will
sustain a pounds weight. With the
right hand upon a piece of spar, a
board or a small box, one can float
upon the back and keep the head
above water for many hours, whereas
the most expert swimmer in the
world, who did not understand the
bouyancy of water, would become
exhausted after a short time and per-
ish in attempting to sustain his full
weight by climbing upon an object
too small to bear his weight. AL
this is very trite to those who follow
the sea, but there are few landsmen
who are aware that the method !

as we'll as the simplest way of saving
oneself from drowning, even though

hoped, these dead soldiers will have

upon the removal at once of what

south of town, and to inter them in
Evergreen Cemetery, in the portion
of the Cemetery adjoining the Halls

move the dead will award the con-

Injury to NeighborsIWater

Where one stores oil on his premi>
ses in such a way that the leaking oil
penetrates the ground, and thus pol>
lutes his neighbours spring, he is liza
bic to his neighbor for the injury
that results, although he may have
been ignorant of the fact that the oil
was affecting the water of his neigh
boris spring, according to the decis-
ion of the Kentucky Court of Appeal
in the case of Kinnard as. Standard
Oil Company. The court held that
while the owner of the land may APP
propriate to his own use hidden or
underlined veins Of water under his
soil, and thus cut off the supply. of
water from a neighbours well or
spring, he has no right to cOntamni~
nate the water 50 as to render ii un-
healthy or unfit for use when it
erachcS his neighbours land.

The Mississippi,
Nashville American.

Nashville American.
The mighty Mississippi is again
threatening to burst the frail barriers
erected against its SWOLLEN tide and
sw eep through streets and planta>
tons on n career of destruction. In
spite of the fact that the levees are in
unusually good condition, they are
yielding to the terrible pressure Of
the flood, and immense volumes of
water are rushing through and inun-
dating the surrounding country.
There is Il constant, snever. ending
and, it seems, never-tO-be ended
struggle between the river and the
people who live upon its banks.
Every pitched battle seems to show
an increasing power and aggressive
ness on the part of the river, and a
decreasing power Of resistance on the
part of those who live within its do
minion. The control of such a vast
and unruly stream by the levee sys-
tenn seems to be doomed to end in
disastrous failure. AT New Orleans
the situation is one of the utmost
gravity. The river has been raised
above its natural level and is now
higher than the streets of the city or
the surface Of the adjacent country (;
and while the banks are being raised
higher, the bed Of the stream is be-
ing constantly raised year by year.
There must be a limit to the powers
of resistance, and when it is reached
the frail distractions will be swept
away and the Mississippi will select
a new channel over the ruined
homes and plantations of those who
are now battling against its cruel do
miniOn.

Girl-Life in India.

On the day of her marriage, the
East India girl is put into a palan-
quin, shut up tight, and carried to
her husbands house. Hitherto she
has been the spoiled pet of her moth
er, now she is to be the little slave of
her mother-in-law. upon whom she
is to wait, whose commands 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 account to him than a little
eat OF dog would be. There is gel.
dom or never any love between
them, and, no matter how cruelty
she may be treated, she can never
complain to her husband of anything
his mother may do, for he would
never take his wife's 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
me large brass platter, and it is sent
to her husbands room. He eats
what he wishes, and then the platter
is sent back with what is left for her
and herchildren. They sit together on
the ground and eat the remainder,
having neither knives, forks, nor
spoons.
While she is young, she is never
allowed to go anywhere. The little
girls are married as young as three
years of age; and, should the boy to
whom such Il child is married die
the next day, she is called a widow,
and is from henceforth doomed tC
perpetual widowhOod; she can never
marry again. AS a widow, she must
wear any ~jewelry, lever dress

ing but a piece of mating spread on
the hard brick floor, and sometimes,
In fact, mot even that between her and

cold the night might be, she mus
have no other covering than the thir
garment she has worm in the day.
She must cat but one meal a day
aud that of the cOar>est kind of food
and once in two weeks she must fas
twenty-four hours; then not a bit o
food nor a drop of water or medicine
must pass her lips, not even if shc
were dying. She must never 81
down nOr speak in the presence 0
her mother-in-law, unless command
ed to do SO. Her food must be cook
ed and eaten apart from the othe,
women's. She is a disgraced and
degraded woman. She may neve
even look on at any of the marriag,
ceremonies and festivals. 1t woult
bean evil omen for her to do so.
