Send Them 10 School.

There is no use for boys and
girls growing upin Ignorance in
this city or county. None what
ever. If they do itisnot so much
their own fault as the fault of
their parents or guardians.
Frequently boys and girls of
a certain age reach the conclusion
that they do not want to go to
school any longer. The girls
have an idea that they ought to
be wearing long dresses and the
boys want to be out cumming
around. And so they announce
to the .'old folks that they
guess they will not go to school
this year." This is a very com
mon thing, and frequently the
"old folks" let them have their
own way about it. These are
often the giddy, silly girls you
see so constantly on the streets,
and these are the boys that are
rapidly developing into coarse
and ignorant citizens.
Send them to school and send
them now at the beginning of
the term. 1t dosen't matter
whether they want to go or not.
Send them anyhow. And see
that they go regularly the entire
year. BY so doing you will con-
fer the greatest possible blessing
upon them. The boys and girls
have no right to say whether
they will go to school or not.
That's your responsibility as q
parent or guardian. And it is a
responsibility that you cannot
shun.-Parkersburg Sentinel.

WOMEN IN INDIA.
Feminine Dress There Consists Mostly o.
.IcrNalrY.

Feminine Dress There Consists Mostly 81
Jewelry.
According TO 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 ears have many rings in
them, some so large that they reach
her shoulders. Next comes the nose,
with rings large enough for bracelet
Occasionally the lips are also OrDa-
mented
Then she has several necklaces Of
costly pearls, arnlets. wristlets sad
anklets, and innunerable rings on most
Of her fingers and toes, including the
thumbs and great toss An Indian
lady's jewelry was weighed on one oc-
casi0n, and it was found TO turn the
scales at thirty-ave PoundE-
The conventional dress for ladies
consists Of piece Of silk OF gorgeousiy-
colOred cotton about Eve yards long
and half a yard wids. This Is wrapped
about the body in the following way:
One end is circled round the waist oacs
or twice, then the remainder IA thrown
over the left shoulder, leaving the right
breast, both arms and legs bare. The
cloth reaches nearly 10 her knees
1T may thus be seen that she ia well
dressed for the purpose II displaying
her ornaments and comfortably dressed
for the climate"

STRANGE BELIEFS.
Something Abont the Chinese Theory Of
Evolution.

kVolutkos.
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 70 their way Of
viewing the matter, the roel1s 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 Inspirations, pulsa-
tions, exhalations, etc, of tins seeming
inaniEate body. Originally, according
to their idea, the mountains rose 10 the
skies and the waters of the seas and
oceans covered the mountains 70 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,
unwashed for years, breeds vermin, so
the mountains, unlaved by the seas,
bred worms and insects, greater crea-
lures always developing from the
lesser. In the course of untold ages
beetles became turtles, earthworTns be-
came serpents, and highfyinG insects
became birds Mice developed into
wildcats, and the wildcats into tigers;
the mantis was by degrees transformed
into an ape, and some Of the apes were
finally born hairless. q hairless ape
playing with two fints accidentally
kindled a fire by striking them together
With the FIRE thus obtained he cooked
food and the eating of food thus pre-
pared made him more strong and intel
lectual than his fellow ape. With all
their faults, asks the Philadelphia
Press, who will say that the Chinamans
theories of evolution are not as reason
able as some of the ideas advanced by
the Darwinians?

There is nothing more Pitiful TO the

therefore she ought to know" he argues
with himself, and nine times cut Of
ten buys whatever she advises, regard

with these trusting and lamb-lilze erea-

season it beAooves the salespeople TO be
especially honest and not bring down
upon the innocent head of the giver the
wrath OF some fair recipient who dis

go very far wrong IN either OF these
establishments, and it is much better TO
buy with an ar of certainty articles

A Voice from, tho Dead.

A baggageman on a midnight train,
while taking on board the usual load
of freight aud baggage, placed to one
side a parrot cage. Further up the
line, at a small station, ne took on
board q corpse, and. as the next stop
ping place was a long distance, the
baggageman, in order to be comforta-
BILE for the ride, stretched himself at
full length on the coffin. He had not
ridden far when to his great horror he
heard issuing, as he supposed from the
coffin, these words; Let me out" The
baggageman Immediately made up his
mind TO get out, but was stopped at the
end of the car by the mail agent They
decided to investigate the matter, and
while thus engaged again heard: Let

Shipments of Money to Frisco.

Extensive shipments Of money by telegraph
from New York 70 San Francisco were made yes
terday by direction of United States Treasurer
Morgan The bank failures yesterday on the
Pacific coast evidently spurred the banks to in
crease their supply Of ready money TO meet
any emergency that may arise. This money is
transferred in simple manner. A bank in
San Francisco telegraphs Its New York CORE
spondent "a bank to place in the subtreasury
at New York given sum of money to its credit
TO be sent 10 the san Francisco bank. The
subtreasurer at New York telegraphs the sub
treasurer at San Francisco tocredIt the national
bank with the given amount of money. The
San Francisco bank thus saves the express
charges and the government, receives
gold for the money which it transfers by tel
egraph. builds up its gold. 1t is a mutual ar
rAngement by which both the banks and the
government are benefited.

Is He Houe1ess?

The smallest and youngest prisoner in the
Police Court today was from Georgetown and
his name was recorded as Clarence Bell. He is
not more than eight years old, although his size
indicates that he is two or three years younger.
81 met the boy on the street" said Policeman
Passan, ''and he told me twenty lies in less than
Q minute" The officer did not arrest him a,
that time, but later when complaint was
made about q boy the victim proved to be
Clarence. He had been living about the canal
and IL was feared he would fall in and get
drowned The boy had no explanation to offer
about himself and his conduct and, so he was
held as a homeless lad.
Policeman Carson recognized the boy in
court and said he had been living with family
near I'd and o streets northwest. So far as he
knows the boy has no father, but has been hy-
ing adopted son Of the man on o street.
What to do with the boy was the question
that PUZZLED the court
IF commit him until after July /, said
the Judge, Il can turn him over to the Chill
dren's Guardians. l don't want to send him to
the work house" Policeman Carson promised
TO make inquiries among the boys friends. and
the judge continued the case for few days.
