A Hindoo Girl.

Hindoo baby girl is an unwelcome ad-
dltlon to the family. Her birth : sup
posed to be no blessing, but a curse and a
sign of divine wrath. Rukhmabai says
that when the new born baby is girl the
father CRASHES his teeth and stamps his
feet. The mother is sorely disappointed,
and although her tenderness may bring its
sure wealth of love. she curses both her
self and the child. There is, moreover a
notion that women who bear only girls are
sinful, and this intensifies the grief" An
other Hindoo woman gives the same testi-
mony.
Ramabai (high caste Hiadoo widow SAYS
that in no country in the world is a mother
so laden with care and anxiety in anticipa-
ton of the birth OF child as in India. All
her hope Of happiness depends upon the
sex of the unborn child A wife who bears
daughters and no sons is frequently put
away by her husband. Husbands some
times threaten their wives that if the COM
ing child is a daughter the offending
mother viii be he.ceforth banishel from
the society of her lord and master, a new
wife viii be installed in her place, and the
offending wife will be made into the serv-
ant and drudge of the household
Ramabai does not merely make general
statements to this effect, but gives several
special instances that have come within
her own knowledge among her own friends
and acquaintances of this punishment
having been meted out to mothers who
gave birth to girls. Mothers try TO avert
the bad lucA of having daughter by sd
perstlticus ceremonies previous to the

We all know the story of the woman

she never was able to find it. And how
much precious time is lost, and how often
our patience is tried by looking in vain for
something which we know has been put
away safely, but which at the time we can
not rememberl An excellent plan for
those who have experienced annoyance in
such way Is to mark the place on slip

memorandum of it. and as it will only
take minute or two at the time it will

than when high tariff prevailed.
The lesson of last fall has evidently

He does not realize that the Mckinley
