WIDOWS OF INDIA.

After Their Husbands Death They Are
Subjected to Much worriment.
Among the many sad things connect.
ed with the lives of women in India,
nothing is more pitiable than the state
of the poor little widows, says the
Youths Companion. A child-wife, only
six or seven years old, is regarded by
her husbands family as the cause, more
or less direct, of his death She is
treated at best with dislike, and often
with great harshness and severity.
Therefore the death of young wife
before her husband is the cause of great
rejoicing among her friends that she
has thus escaped wi6lowhood
They are convinced that the gods
have favored her, and that she has been
advanced degree in the great series of
births and deaths through which every
Hindu passes on his way to final perfec-
ton. The prayer of every little girl
before marriage AID of every little
girl and woman after marriage is that
she may never become widow.
The preservation of husbands
health is a matter of the greatest i'm
portance, and on a certain day of the
year a special religious ceremony is OBJ
served with this end in view. 1t is en-
phatically the 'Women's Day." and .oc-
ours about the middle of January, when
the sun is believed to turn northward.
Offerings are made at the temples,
money Is given to the priests, pilgrim
ages are undertaken, HASTINGS under
gone, and vows performed for the pres
ervation of a husbands health and life.
When he is i'll the wife removes her
jewels, puts on coarse clothing. and de-
votes herself to prayer and austerities.
II he dies her woe begins.

I have been reminded by several
friends that the word fall is not exclu-

for autumn in some parts Of the coun-

Queen.

the word used by any country people.
Like most so-called hmericanisms, IL

England stock. They were the stout

therefore the stoutest and sturdiest
people in the world. (Let US always,
my friends, when we can, be patriotic.1
1t is a pretty word; but those who use
1t contemplate, as we said before, the
season as time Of decay and decline
and approaching death. Those who
speak of autumn think of full barns and
granaries overlooking.
l am sorry we have not kept our owl
old English word. Could we not revive
it, and speak of the season as that of
harvest? Spring, summer, harvest, win
ter. These are four names-au good
Anglo-Saxon words.
Nay, the word ''harvest"-herfest-
is actually the Anglo-Saxon for au-

TRAGEDY IN REAL LIFE.
Sad Mistake of Horsethief Hunters on
the Rio Grande.

Sad Mistake of Horsethief Hunters on
the Rio Grands.
''The most pathetic scene ever wit
messed" says Judge r. l.. Cawthorn, Of
Texas, in the ST. Louis Globe Democrat,
was third of a century ego, but it is
as plain to my eyes to-day as it was
then. We had been bothered by horse
thieves down on the frontier, and you
know what that means in a wild coun-
try. A crowd Of US started out after
the scoundrels, and just before we
reached the Rio Grande we saw two
horsemen off to the left who acted sus-
piciously. After them we went. and il
was pretty race for awhile till they
disappeared behind a clump of trees.
We had shot to stop them, and when
we got in sight of them again we found
that one horse had been shot and they
had deserted him, while both were rid
ing the other. They were evidently
Mexicans-a man and boy-and the
man showed fight, turning and firing
at us, finally hitting our deputy sheriff.
We gained on them rapidly, and pres
emily weu-directed fire sent them ALI
in heap.
When we reached them the boy
was kneeling in front of the diving
Mexican, sobbing and moaning as if
her heart would break, while her hair,
which had fallen from her cap, fell be-
low her waist. 1t was a case of elope-
ment and they had taken us for her ia
theirs servants. while we had been
equally stupid and had taken them for
horsethieves. When he began TO gasp
she drew little pearl-handled revolver.
and before anyone could think of stop
ping her placed the n1uzzle under her
ear and fell into his arms corpse. No,
we never heard who they were. We
buried them and went after the horse
thieves"

on the 25th. On that day the Oteri line steamer
.. Pizxami arrived She had been running in
the fruit trade from New Orleans to Puerto
Cortez, but was under charter to the govern
ment to transport troops.
She brought in 800 soldiers, who were picked
up at San Pedro and other points along the
coast. The plan was to march from Puerto
Cortez, which is still in the hands Of the gov
eminent, and attack Ceiba and Tuxilo, the only
ports in the hands Of the rebels.
II the expedition succeeds the government
will rally an army on the coast and march
upon Olanchito, where Nuila, the commander
OF the rebels, and Zelsya, minister of foreign
affairs Of the government, are to hold o confer
ence. With such an army close at hand the
government will be much more independent in
naming terms and less averse to giving battle.
In case the two parties fail TO agree upon
terms Of peace there will be bloody and de-
ciAive battle, which the government, In view Of
the delays Of the revoluhonists, IL now in q
better position 10 wage.
