Are Subjected to nuch Worriment.

with the lives of women in India. nothing
is more pitiable than the state of the poor
little widows. A child wife, ONLY orr
years old. is regarded by her husbands
family as the cause, more or less direct. of
his death. She is treated at best with dis
like. and often with great harshness and
severity. Therefore the death of a youug
wife before her husband is the cause Of
great rejoicing among her friends that she
has thus escaped vidowhood.
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 Hindop masses
on his way to final perfection. The nraver
OF every little girl before marriage and of
every little girl aud woman after marriaae
Is that she may never become a widow.

5000 900 gallons and the visible supply on
hand is only 100000 gallons, SO they are
masters of the situation.
