Curious Occupations Of HIndoos.


kCensus blanks recently distributed by
the English government in India for
the purpose of ascertaining the size of
the population have just been returned
to the home Office, and among them
are as curious documents as were ever
collected in a similar undertaking.
Under the head of profession, occupa-
ton, etc." a number of Hindoos admit
candidly that they are professional
debtors" constant borrowers or
linen of secret resources" Others
have put themselves on record as
thieves, village thieves and brigands.
Some of more modest aspirations call
themselves tavern keepers, visitors of
taverns, travelling story tellers, mendi-
cants, pensions on their sons-in-law, or
simply idlers. One Hindoo says that
'she cannot work because he is fool"
Others confess to more serious Occur
patton, such as s'expounder of oracles,"
''eye examiner" sssorcerer.'' storm
prophet. ''tamtam player" doctor of
Greek medicine. Another says that
he conducts a marriage bureau for
Young domestics; second declares
that ''he is making business of mar
rying of his daughters for money!"
which latter is undoubtedly a very
lucrative field. One profession which
seems to be very remunerative Is that
of hiring out as professional court

Facts About the LATEST Fall Styles In
Dress skIrta
For the past year skirts have seemed
so important that one naturally begins
with them, though the fit and style of
the bodice surely have more effect upon
the general appearance. For street
wear skirts must escape the floor; ball
gowns win have slight dip, resting
slightly ON the floor as the wearer
moves; demi-trains allow five inches
on the ground for carriage, dinner and
such toilettes. though as q rule. young
ladies do not like demi-traina The
immense two yard trains are seldom
seen, even wedding and matrons' re-
ception gowns have q modest amount
of the goods trailing over the floor.
All skirts, except the extreme styles,
are from three and one-half to four
yards in width; the extremists have
them from five to seven yards While
heavy stiffening has gone out, many
still use facing of sleazy crinoline to
the knees with the usual lining, which
is shaped like and sewed with the out
side. Velveteen binding ON the edge
has become the universally accepted
finish, and now comes in lengths OF
three, four and five yards. In place
of belt at the waist turn the top of
the skirt over on the wrong side and
cord or face it. This allows the skirt
to fall below the waist-line and saves
one belt around the waist-Emma NJ.

The new coats are just as fiamboyant
in style as those worn last winter.
Flaring collars, Topping shoulder frills,
and big, baggy slecves-those are their
chief characteristics. Braiding-every
variety of braiding-will be the fashion.
There are jackets embroidered all over
with fine braid and jackets that have
horizontal rows Of military braid rum
ming their entire depth. Then, in addi.
tion to the braid, coats and wraps will
have fnr trimmings. The Innings, too,
are rich, being mostly of brocsde. In
fact, as regards these sort of outdoor
garments. elaboration is carried to en-.

an eastern gentleman who put check
for $2500 in the bank for collection
shortly before it suspended. He claims
that he should have judgment for the
amount, as it was not regular account
but that the check was put in simply
for collection. The same contention
