CRUEL MOTHERS-lN-LAW.
They Exist Only in India, but They Do
Exist There, and No Mistake.

they Exist Only in India, but They Do
Exist There, and No Mistake.
One hundred and forty years ago a
Pengai poet sang of the love of Vidva
and Sundara. His work is a mine of
information on some of the social Gus
toms of our country in his time. In
certain scene he describes number of
Hindu women bewailing their n,iseries
in domestic life. One curses her fate as
the victim of ''tigress mother-in-law"
and of cruel nanada husbands sis
ter).
The great prevalence of the mother
in-law's prosecutions nowadays has OBJ
tanned for such one the sobriquet of
Boukautki, or the tormentor of a
daughter-in-law.
We have indeed angelic mothers-in-
law, more motherly than natural
mothers, but their existence by its con-
trast exhibits their opposites in the most
horrid colors. In the cottages of the
poor, as well as the mansions of the
rich, these monsters play unmolested
their devilish pranks with their sons
wives, among whom some become
a sensitive and delicate nature succumb.
The daily routine of such tortures, which
relates to food, raiment, bedding, bath
and toilet, domestic service, company
of husband and near relatives, and take
the shape of angry and foul vitupera-
tions, is not much noticed. 1t becomes
only the subject of gossip of neighbor.
ing families and of lamentations by her
paternal relations. 1t is only when the
conduct of a Boukautki eliminates in
serious acts of violation, mutilations
homicide or murder, or when it leads
to suicide, that in rare instances it
comes to public notice and under the
cognizance of law.
Lately criminal courts in the town
and Mofussil have recorded cases OF
conviction in which wives, for the most
trivial faults, had been seriously in.

Caring for Plate Glass.

Scratches can be taken out of plate
when they are slight, and the glass pol
ished at the same time. Procure some
of the. finest emery, put it in jug with
water, stir vigorously, and pour out into
another jng after second or two. The
coarse particles will remain in the first
jug. The contents of the second must
be allowed to settle, which will take
some hours; then run through .filtering
paper after removing the bulk of the
water, and the precipitate is powder
which will remove the scratches. Apply
with the finger, bit of good cork or
felt. That will leave the glass cloudy,
but the polish can be brought up by a
paste of jewelers. rouge and water,
rubbed on with the finger or cork as be-
fore. If very fine results are required
the rouge is washed like the emery, and
only the impalpable powder employed.

SEIZED HIS OPPORTUNITY.
How an Enterprising German Profited by

How an Enterprising German Profited by
Neighbor's Loss.
Perhaps progress and enterprise are
only other names for seizing an oppor-
tunity Just in the nick of time. If there
be any truth in this conjecture and the
great strides of Chicago business men
be due to this bit of unerring judgment
then the qualification for becoming
great man lies in large mass in the
Uranium of a certain German saloon
keeper.
The other morning when nearly all
Chicago was abed-it was two o'clock
there was a fire in big North side
factory block. The structure was
stored with highly inflammable stuff
Oil and varnish being some of it-and
the blaze shot through the building with
the greatest rapidity, even before
fireman reached the spot. Half a block
down the street an humble German
keeps a saloon-his first business ven
ture in this country. The morning of
the fire he was aroused by loud cries of
Fire" Fire" beneath his window.
Startled, he shook his wife, seized
some of his clothing, and a hasty
glance towards the window showing
the glare of great fire that appeared
to be next door, he rushed downstairs,
closely followed by his stout wife.
When he reached the front door he saw
that he had been too hasty, and so the
saloonkeeper and his spouse returned
to their rooms upstairs and in moment
were watching the fire from an upper
story window.
In the meantime great crowd had
gathered, attracted by the arrival of
numerous engines, and this was rapidly
augmented by many drawn by the
bright glare in the sky The police
lines held them back, and they jammed
the sidewalk in front of the saloon and
in front of the buildings adjacent. 1t
was while watching this crowd that a
bright idea struck the German lie
saw chance to profit by his neighbor's
misfortune. He rushed downstairs, lit
all the gas jets, put fresh keg of beer
on tap, brought out the remnants of the
business lunch" of the day before,
threw open the front door, and in 4
minute a place at the bar was at pre-
MUM. The German yelled for his
wife, and for one hour the two had all
their active energy taxed in providing
for heavy stream of sightseers at
tracted by the fire. And through that
stream there ran tide of policemen
and fremen.-Chicago Tribune.

that is the stronger in matters of this
kind. The unhappy marriages are n.l-
merous enough, but if women were as
weak as men there would be a much
larger number of silly matches.
Now, strange as it may seem, there
IS no doubt that the most successful
proposer is the man who does it clum-
silly. When man speaks well and
calmly and gives woman good reasons
for marrying him-argues the matter
just as though he were pleading cause
in court-the woman doesn't believe he is
in earnest. 1t is not a case that is gov
erned by reasonable argument, and ap-
peals to the brain are not what she
cares about. The appeal must be made
to the heart. He stands good chance
of success as soon as he convinces her
that his heart is thoroughly in earnest.

THE SINGING IN GOO'S-ACRE.

k-s
ou, yonder in the moonlight, wherein Gods
Acre lies,
10 angels walking to and fro, singing their lul-
lasies;
Their radiant wings are folded and their ewes
are bended low,
As they sing among the beds whereon the fow-
ers delight to grow:
"Sieep OH sleepl
The Shepherd guardeth His sheep:
Fast speedeth the night away,
Soon cometh the glorious day:
/ Sleep weary ones, while ye may
Sleep OH sleep!"
wondrous sight,
And hear the angels singing to the sleepers
through the night;
And, 10! throughout the hours Of day those gen
tie flowers prolong
The music of the angels in that tender slumber-
song:
"Sleep oh, sleepi
The Shepherd loveth His sheep!
He guardeth His flock the best
Hath folded them to His loving breast
( So, sleep ye now and take your rest
Sleep oh, Sleep"
From angel and from flower the years have
learned that soothing song
And with its heavenly music speed the days and
nights along;
So, through all time, whose fight the Shepherds
vigils glorify.
God'sAcre s)1mbereth in the grace Of that sweet
lullaby:
Sleep, oh, sleep!
The Shepherd loveth His sheepI
Fast speedeth the night away,
Soon cometh the glorious day:
Sleep weary ones, while ye may
Sleep, oh, seepI"

Water In the Desert.

In that enormous waste known as the
Cobb Desert, north of China, showers
sometimes fall during the summer, and
the torrents of day fill the dried-up
water courses through which water sell
dom runs. 1t is in these channels that
the Mongols Zig their wells, expecting
to find a little water, when upon the
surface of the plateau itsc.f the soil has
lost all traces of humidity. 1t is owing
to the fact that part of the moisture
falling during few rainy days is thus
preserved within reach that 1t is possi-
bic for caravans to cross the dcsert.--N.

than he is an embryo Harrow boy or
Winchester man" In after-life he
meets with the question: What school
were YOU at?" And here again he is apt
to feel at disadvantage if he cannot
fasten upon one of the important public
schools the credit or blame of his
youthful training. 1t matters nothing
that he was only there for half year
that he never rose above the lowest
form, that he was hogged half dozen
times in as many weeks, that he was
promptly expelled for outrageous insub-
ordination-he was at public school,
he was the eachet of an English gentle
man. To have been at the university
is as nothing compared with this.
Many a man is compelled by army ex-
aminations or by business opportuni-
ties to forego the pleasures of the alma
mater. With the pubiic school it is
otherwise: to this they must all come.

How English People Regard the Great
Public Schools.
In England, while boy is still in the
unreasoning age of childhood, good
natured people will ask him playfully
what he is going to be. At little later
stage the inquiry takes another and
more serious form-''What school are
you going top There is no playful
ness in the question now. Hereby
hangs whole social history. In one
family the tradition is for Eton, in an
other for Rugby; and to these traditions
father and son are, as a rule, absolutely
loyal, except under especial emergen-
cies of typhoid or scarlet fever. The
true Englishman of the upper class is
not more certainly born
