What IS this naturalization, however,
but a sort of parable Of human life? Are
we not always trying to adjust ourselves
to new relations, to get naturaliZcd intoa
new family? Does one ever do it entirely?

life comes from the failure to do it'll It

fering in degree to introduce him by mar
rage into new circle of kinsfolk. Is he
ever anything but a 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 iueradicable 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 back? Does she over lose the instinct
Of it? We used T. say in Jest that a
patriotic man was always willing to sacri-
flee his wife'5 relations in war, but his
wife took different view Of It; and when
1t becomes question Of Office is it not the
wifo's relations who get them? To be
sure, Ruth said, thy people shall be my
people, and where thou goest will 20,
and all that; and this beautiful sentiment
has touched all time, and man has got the
historic notion that he is the head Of
things. But is it true that woman is
ever really naturaized? Is it in her ma
ture to be? Love will 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 interlacing5 of her family life?

The Indians Bnrk Canoe.

The bark canoe is the Indians chef
d'9uvre. 1t seems to me not only beau
tiful object, but a suggestive emblem of
his life. 1t is the most natural boat in
the world; to make it he peels the bark
from birch, splits a cedar for timbers
and planlls, binds it together with roots,
and closes the seams with pitch from the
pine. His tools are an ak, crooked
knife, and an awl made Of deer's bone.
No compass and square cover mis- weak
ness, for every piece tells the exact truth
of his hand and eye; not even a bench
removes him from the earth, nor a roof
covers HIM from the sky; he kneels at his
work And the women embody their at
tachment in the pitch they press into the
cracks. 1t is natures model, made by the
wild man in the woods The life of the
bark canoe is equally poetic; it floats
through mountain lakes with the beaver.
and runs rapids with the otter; indeed.
all its companions are creatures of the
forest; it is faithful to nature to the very
last, when it retires to the shore of some
lonely pond to mold under it's mound of
feathery moss.-C. H. Farnham in Har-
per's Magazine.

The Indians Ethical Qualities.

The only results of Indian education
have actually witnessed are those which
have seen at Hampton, Va, and Carlisle,
Pa. The Indian mind appears to be o
slow moving mind. The Indian is less
quick to initiate than the negro, but his
ethical qualities appear to me to be higher
and integrity. He is more honest, more
truthful, moro faithful, if he is fairly
treated. There is some truth in the
charges made against him of lying and
stealing: but these vices are chiefly due
to his ready adoption of the motto that
"all is fair in war;" ard his relations
with the white races have been for years
those of almost constant warfare.

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 a run on this
term as they did on malaria a few years
ago. If a man has queer fancy of any
sort, or a woman imagines that 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 60
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's 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 crank than any
other crank.-New York Cor Detroit

His Best Girls Photo.

1t is the proper thing for the young
man who can afford it to keep the photo
graph of his best girl, framed in solid sill
yer, standing on his writing desk. The
frames are about an inch broad, and are
plain or fancy to suit the taste, but the
majority Of those imported from England
are fancy. The figures include cherubs
and cherub faces, heads Of beasts, heads
of COLLINS, forms of elfs, masks of fierce
aspect. and a running vine of some sort,
that twines in and out among the figures
The inner edge of one very pretty frame
is made of a rope, with a square knot
where the ends Of the rope come together
at the bottom. The frames cost OIL the
average $50 each.-New York Sun.

A nuisance. and one that should be
abated, is practice that has grown up
among a class of people who prey upon
grief and affection. Every day these
ghouls who live upon the friends Of the
dead use the mails to send hundreds Of
their offensive missives to q list of ad-
dresses gathered from the newspaper
death notices. These are nothing less
than advertisements Of florists, embalm-
ers, tombstone cutters, dealers in mourn
ing goods, etc. One shrewd Philadelphian
generally sends a black card with some
doggerel and the name of the deceased
printed on it, for which he modestly asks
the bereaved family to send him $3.50.

When It Is Too Late.

A great many of Natures laws are
written so plainly in consequences, that it
seems very odd that so many of US pass
our lives without paying the least regard
to them too often it is only when they
are written in our very life's blood that
we heed them at all. and then 1t is too
late The anxious man of business, the
fretting, over solicitous mother, the
worrying housekeeper, each in his or her
way is laying up debt against vitality,
and becoming involved in very serious
contest with nervous force, in which they
are sure to come off worsted, and for
what2 Often for the most ridiculous
causes.-Denorest's Monthly.

Hindu Women and Children.

dlndustanl women are passiOnatcly 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 transpIanted so early to other house
holds. They try TO 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 a preparation called
surma. They think this protects the ewes
from inflammation, and also that it adds
to their beauty.
In sickness they formerly depended
upon their priests, who have a little
knowledge OF roots and herbs. Now
there are Wei educated native doctors in
all the cities, who are empio,ed Nv
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 a 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.
