Hlndustani women are passionately at
tached to their children, especially to the
sons, who are the crown and glory of
their lives Nor are they without affec
ton for their little daughters who must
be transplanted so early to other house
holds. They try 70 take good care of
them all. If prayers and offerings to the
gods and to Brahmins could keep the
little ones in health, then would Hindu
children never know pain; but in their
ignorance of the simplest rules of health
the mothers often cause sickness to come
to the beings they love more than life
Diseases of the eyes are very prevalent in
India, and the children suffer even more
than adults A curious custom prevails
of drawing a black line at the base of the
lower eyelashes with preparation called
surma. They think this protects the eyes
from inflammation, and also tAat it adds
to their beauty.
In sickness they formerly depended
upon their priests, who have little
knowledge OF roots and herbs. Now
there are well educated native doctors in
all the cities, who are employed by
government to take charge of hospitals,
under the superintendent OF an English
physician. But the poor people in the
villages suffer greatly from the lack of
medical treatment When child is sick.
the anxious mother gets the best advice
and medicine she can, and redoubles her
prayers to the gods If the child dies
she is overwhelmed with sorrow and
despair, fearing that some sin of her own
has caused the death of the child, or that
its sin has hurried it into another exist
ence where, as a savage beast or venom
GUS reptile, it must eXpatiate its guilt
The vague doctrine of the transmigration
of souls does not afford much comfort to
the Hindu. No hope of recognition or
reunion is held out; and yet, with the
utmost inconsistency, the people often
speak of paradise and of meeting dear
ones there.-Mrs. Z. J. Humphrey in
Demorests Monthly.

Victims of Nervous Dyspepsia"

A malady that seems to have become
alarmingly prevalent of late goes by the
name of nervous dyspepsia. The doc
tors are getting up as great run on this
term as they did on malaria a few years
ago. If a man has a queer fancy of any
sort, or woman imagines that a burglar
is really under the bed, it is a certain case
of nervous dyspepsia, just as an ordinary
headache is set down to malaria 1t is
astonishing. though how heartily some
of these victims OF nervous dyspepsia can
fill themselves with food and how ready
they all are to grab every good thing go.
ing that they can reach. 1t is sheer hum
bug in the doctors TO use this term at all,
or to encourage people in the notion that
they have any such malady, but then
there is quite as much humbug among
the doctors as among any other class,
possibly even little more. Hundreds of
men in perfectly good general health and
attending to business as regularly as they
ever did. will tell you, if asked how they
are, that they are utterly wretched from
nervous dyspepsia, and go on to dilate on
the symptoms at a tiresome length. The
doctor has told them that 5 what's the
matter, when probably the real trouble is
only stomach temporarily out of order,
and as the phrase sounds well they repeat
it at every opportunity. 1t is peculiar
ity of the man who fancies he has nervous
dyspepsia to be more of a crank than any
other crank.-New York Cor, Detroit

What is this naturalization, however,
but a sort of parable of human life? Are
we not always trying to adjust ourselves
to new relations, 10 get naturalized into
new family? Does one ever do it entirely7
And how much of the consequences of
life comes from the failure to do It'll 1t
Is tremendous experiment, we all ad-
nit, to separate q person from his race,
from his country, from his climate and
the habits of his part Of the country, by
marriage. 1t is only an experiment diff
fering in degree to introduce him by mar
rage into a new circle of kinsfolk Is he
ever anything but sort of tolerated,
criticised or admired alien? Does the
time ever come when the distinction
ceases between his family and hers?
They say love is stronger than death.
1t may also be stronger than family
while it lasts; but was there ever a
woman yet whose most ineradicable feel
ing was not the sentiment of family and
blood, a sort of base line in life upon
which trouble and disaster always throw
her back3 Does she ever lose the instinct
Of it? We used eay in jest that a
patriotic man was 4, VS. willing to sacri-
fee his Uife's relations in war but his
wife took different view of it; and when
it becomes a question Of office is it not the
wife's relations who get them? To be
sure, Ruth said, thy people shall be my
people, and where thou goest will go,
and all that; and this beautiful sentiment
has touched all time, and man has got the
historic notion that lie is the head of
things. But is it true that q woman is
ever really naturalized! Is it in her ma
ture TO be? Love viii carry her a great
way, and to far countries, and TO many
endurances, and her capacity Of self sacri-
flee is greater than mans; but would she
ever be entirely happy torn from her
kindred, transplanted from the associa-
tons and interlaeings Of her family life?

the past week, and dragging a handsled

part in the exhilarating and healthful,

several days, or worn numerous patches
of court plaster in consequence of COM

The sport is carried on till late each
night.

A Romantic Story.

The Northern papers are just now de-
voting considerable attention to the
claims of an Ohio woman who has ap-
piled for pension, because the story she
tells of her service as a private in the
Union army is decidedly romantic. She
says that at the outbreak of the war her
maiden name was Mary Dewey, and she
was residing in a small town in Ohio
where she was engaged 10 be married TO
a young fellow named Benjamin, who,
when Lincoln issued his call for troops,
decided to leave home and sweetheart
behind. and 60 to the front. He enlisted
in regiment raised in the country and
was sent to Virginia. where his company
was soon joined by young recruit. who
gave the name Of Chas. f.. Dewey, and
who Benjamin at once recognized as his
sweetheart Mary disguised in mans at
tire, and as she was determined 20 re-
main with him and to share his dangers
and hardships, the two became mess
mates and fought side by side. until in
one of the last battles of the war Mary
was wounded in the leg.
Benjamin managed to get himself de-
tailed to nurse his cOmrade, and thus
prevented her sex being revealed, and
when the war was over the two were
mustered out together and returned to
Ohio and were married. Benjamin died
n few years ago and Mary asks the 90
vernment to give her pension. The
story is certainly very interesting ore
if there is any foundation Scr il, hut it is
so entirely romantic that there is good
reason to believe that in order to have
Uncle Sam put pension Mary has put
up job. II. however, she can establish
the fact that SHE did fight and hlaed for
her country. and at tie saue tire waite
