Soldiers Indian Hnrds,lps.

In q land of leeches you should think
twice before wading in water. Other
wise you may emerge with shaggy COW
ering Of Jet black. Something like this
has happened to two British warriors in
India, Privates Speed and Davis, who,
having left Bareilly for days sport and
lost their way were fastened upon by
the leeches in the pools which they had
to cross barelegged. The two soldiers
wandered about hopelessly for nine days.
Bareilly is near the jungles of Nepaul,
the favorite home Of the tiger; but be-
fore the nine days were out Davis and
Speed would have given year or two of
their lives for the sight Of an honest wild
pig.
II is a marvel that the two did not die

In July is simply terrific. Yet tho two

at night. Not village did they come
across, not human being, for the whole
region was submerged by the yearly

flies, and they finished off by being found
nine-tenths dead beside the metals Of a
railway line. The first solid food they
had in nine days was two "chupatties. I"

Father OF rhlrty,eve ohilaren.

When pessimists descsnt on low birth
rates and unsatisfactory increase OF popu-
lation they should have their attention
called to a Canadian instance. The Rev.
Able Plinguet, cure Of Isle du Pads, in
Lower Canada, who has just died, was the
son OF French Canadian farmer, who had
no less than thirty-hve children This
record 1t would be hard to beat outside Of
polygamous countries. Mr.. Plinguet's
first wife brought him twenty seven and
his second brought him eight. One of the
first family reached the age Of ninety four,
and the able, who was the eldest OF the
second family, was eighty-one. Only one
OF the whole number now survives. an OH

What is there so homogeneous in a
woman professor in universities, whore
men are educated with women? This is
the question Mrs. M. Louise Thomas and
others are asking. who are trying to
raise funds to endow a woman's chair in
a northern university. Why is it that a
woman teacher is deemed so necessary
through all the grades, from the primary
to those of the graduating class of the
high school, and yet she should be
deemed SO pernicious and disastrous in
colleges? Whether these are good rea-
sons or not, the experiment is to be
given fair trial, for very recently the
bill providing for woman professor
ship at the State University of Michigan
has become law.
Not far behind comes the news also
that the University Of Denver, which
numbers about 800 students, has con-
ferred on woman the honor Of naming
an important professorship after her
that Of literature-to be known here
after as the Mary Lowe Dickinson chair

ceived as an endowment from ex-Gov-
ernor John Evans the sum of $50,000.-

make herself criminal she puts vim
and an enthusiasm into her work that Is
beyond the capability of most men. She
reaches the bottom of the moral hill sooner
and she gathers more mire in the descent
than the average man could, even II he
tried.
1t is comparatively easy for a human
being born with pretty face, a soft voice
and the possession Of those many outward
attractions which help to make the fair
sex the object of especial consideration and
human beings. A woman has more OPP
portunities to deceive than a man has.
Every man fairly begs her to fool him and
cheat him and send him to the dogs.
Moreover, wickedness is more profitable to
the woman who makes 1t her stock in
trade than it Is to the man. She is subtle
aud seductive. He is clumsy and suspicion
provoking. And when a woman closes
her heart to things that are good it be-
comes steel. A mans, be he ever SO wicked,
might soften. woman's, never.
These facts have been broughs before the
public attention recently with great force.
The newspapers have been full of reports
of the doings of wicked women. Five may
be selected as samples.

How the Hillmen rurn TaIl.

1t is possible that before our soldiers
get to close quarters with the enemy
they will see the latter turn TAIL" Let
them not be deceived. Turning tail is a
different thing with the hillmen to what
1t is with us. The inhabitants of one
group of villages, the Rengman, are no.
ticeable for wearing caudal appendage.
This, Of course, is not natural. 1t is
fashioned OF wood, eighteen inches long,
curved upward, tapering to point.
This is fitted to the back, being sus.
pended from the shoulders and secured

ly around the waist. This singular ap-
pendage is worn in battle, and is intend
ed to signify defiance. The wearers turn
their backs toward the adversary, and,
by balancing the body alternately on
either leg, wag the tail defiantly in his
very face. National Review.
