Our Premiums.

The Standard has hitherto taken
very little stock in the "chromo" adj
junct to business, mainly for the rea-
son that the premiums generally
offered were OF very little value and
inefficient aids to secure that labor
required for satisfactory results.
When, however, such journals as the
:. +. Examiner, or the OfeJonion,
OTTER premiums OF value to pay for
good work, the system is relieved OF
that catch-penny faint which CON
stituted it, main objection.
BY reference to orr illustrated
premium list, which appears on the
fourth page Of this paper, it will be
seen that We have secured an excellent
array OF desirable articles, far distribu-
ton among our patrons III exchange
! for reasonable service in labor. 1t
likewise affords an opportunity for
subscribers I" this pnpor, to purchase
these articles at Inucn less than the
regular retail price. Take, for in
stance, the Marlin rifle. Its cost at
retail, in New York, is $24. You,
/ ii a subscriber to the STANDARD, can
purchase it, through this paper, for
Yl4 cash, or get it free for obtaining
% subscribers. Could not such list
be obtained in weeks time? Take
the sewing machine. 1t is listed at
700. We can furnish it, freight free
to this tity, for $3.50. Given free
for 10 subscribers, or 20 and $40.
The souvenir spoons, the baby's set,
the child's set, the watches, the cam
era, etc, are seasonable holiday pres.
ents; while the cook stove dryer
should be found in every kitchen.
1t is given for ~ paid up subscribers,
or subscribers and $3.50 cash; or it
will be sold to subscribers for IS cash.
1t is sold in New York for 81.
The book offer, will probably be the
most popular feature of this system.
These books must not be confounded
with the cheap editions generally
offered for premiums. They are ele-
gantly bound in cloth, with gilt backs
and letters and are an ornament to
any library. as we'll as being a selec-
ton from the best authors. Each new
subscriber may choose two of these
books which retail from the shelf at
60 cents each; or we will sell single
volume to anybody who presents two
of the printed book coupons, cut from
the STANDARD, accompanied by 20
cents.
The belief is INDUCED that excellent
pay may be earned by means of this
premium list. If you need any of the
articles, and find you cannot secure
the full number of subscriptions, you
can stop half way, and by paying a
small proportion OF the value of the
article in cash, have it sent direct
to your address. Sample copies of the
STANDARD will be supplied to those
who express a wish to canvass for any
of the premiums.

STRANGE BELIEFS.
Something About the Chinese Theory of
Evolution.

Something About the Chinese Theory of
Evolution.
The Chinese have as odd ideas about
the earth and the origin of man as they
have about other things with which
they, as well as ourselves, are better
acquainted. According to their way of
viewing the matter, the rocks of the
earth are the bones of the Divine body;
the soil is the flesh, the metals, the
nerves and veins. The tides, winds,
rains, clouds, as well as frost and dew,
are caused by the respirations, pulsa-
tons, eXhalatiOnS, etc, of this seeming
inanimate body. Originally, according
to their idea, the mountains rose to the
skies and the waters of the seas and
oceans covered the mountains to their
tops. At that time there was no life in
the Divine body, except the Divine life.
By degrees the waters subsidized and
small herbs began to grow, and, in
the lapse of immense cycles of time,
these herbs developed into strong
shrubs and trees. AS the body of man,
unwashcd for years, breeds vcrmin, so
the mountains, unlaved by the seas,
bred WORKS and insects, greater crca-
Yurcs always dcveloping from the
lesser. In the course of untold ages

WOMEN IN INDIA.
Feminine Dress There Consists Mostly OF
Jewelry.

Feminine Dress There Consists Mostly OF
Jewelry.
According to a recent writer who has
been there the native women of India
seem to array themselves mostly in
jewelry and modesty. He says:
THE Indian lady is loaded down with
silver and gold jewelry and precious
stones Her cars have many rings in
them, some SO large that they reach
her shoulders. Next comes the nose,
with rings large enough for a bracelet.
Occasionally the lips are also orna-
mentcd.
Then she has several necklaces OF
costly pearls, armlets, wriStletS and
anllletS, and innumerable rings on most
of her fingers and toes, including the
thumbs and great toes. An Indian
lady's jewelry was weighed on one oc-
casion, and it was found to turn the
scales at thirty-fve pounds.
1.-The conventional dress for ladies
consists of piece of silk or gorgeously-
colored cotton about five yards long
and half a yard wide. This is wrapped
about the body in the following way:
One end IS :irrlcd round the waist once
or twice, then the remainder is thrown
over the lcrt shoulder, leaving the right
breast, both arms and legs bare. The
cloth reaches nearly to her knees.
at may thus be seen that she is well
dressed for the purpose of displaying
her ornaments and comfortably dressed
for the climate"

''Shortly afterward a tug came near US,

at Smiths Island all the time were watch

could not reach US. Finally after des-
perate effort and hard pull of nine miles

us.
''The work of Capt. Kitchens and his
crew cannot be spoken of too strongly.
TO save us these men walked right into
the jaws of death.

AN IMAGINARY BATTLE
The Gruesome Tale from Bak-
ersville Denied.
A GROSS CANARD.

There is No Direct Communication With
the Place, but 1t is Now Generally Be
lieved that the Report Was the Work of
a Romancing Correspondents.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. 6.-Mail rum
ners have been sent ont and every method
has been taken to obtain particulars to
verify the blood curdling reports of riots
and murders near Bakersville, N. G.
From the sources from which the re-
ports were originally transmitted, all
efforts at verifcation have been met by
statements that the roads were showed
up and impossible.
1t is now learned that a mail carrier
has Just arrived at Cranberry, n. c., from
Bakersville, who says he knows nothing
of any fight there. 1t would appear from
his statements that the story of yester-
day was not true.
Bakersville is several miles in the
mountains away from telegraphic COM
munication. A heavy snow has fallen
recently, and the town was accordingly
so thoroughly isolated that it was impos-
sible to secure a confirmation or denial of
the story until now.
All the names of the alleged victims
printed are names unknown in the neigh
boring towns

Tho French In Dahomey.

1t is curious feature of the French
foreign legion, which has been doing
some hard fighting in Dahomey, that it
is composed of social outcasts from all
parts of Europe. Menowho have held
prominent positions in the German,
Italian and other armies, but who have
been cashiered for various offenses,
may be found serving as privates in the
legion. The discipline is remarkably
severe and the men are notorious as
desperate fighters whose courage has
been proved in many campaigns. Any.
one who loves fighting may get his fill
in the legion, as it is called upon more
frequently than any other branch OF
the French military service and the
work is always dangerous.
