Satisfying Justice.

The genius of the mild Hindoo has
evolved means Of satisfying justice
and providing well for their aged help
less at the expense of paternaI govern
ment whenever opportunity offers.
London Nelcs says: "A student of life
and manners in the Punjaub has been
struck by the large proportion of very
old men in the Indian jails. In the
prison at Mooltan there were last year
seventeen life prisoners whose total
ages were found to amount to more
than LOO years, two of them being
partriarchS Of upward of so. This re-
markable fact is attributed partly to
the great improvement in the economy
of Indian jailS. since the exposure of
their miSmanagement some years ago,
but more directly to the prevalent prac-
tice when crime has been committed
of handing over the least useful mem
Der Of the family as a sort of vicariOus
offering to justice.
On this point the inspector general of
Indian prisons observes that the con-
tinement which conviction entails is. of
course, less irksOme to the aged than to
the young. "MOreOver," he continues,
"the people know that specially com

a man had been strangled. The person
to whom the crime, by his own confess
sion, was brought home was feeble
old fellow who had been paralyzed in
both arms for twenty years and could
not have committed the crime But as
his family all said he did it, and as there
were plenty of ''eye- witnesses" the old
man went cheerfully to jail, and lies
there still.

Present Day Ailments.

The National Recie1C writing on the
modern tendency to abandon exercising
the muscles, says: "PrObably the most
potent factor of present-day ailments is
the allegiance into which the muscular
system is permitted to fall by jewellers
in cities, who are daily becoming more
dependent on artificial means of locomo-
ton and on labor saving apparatus un-

these pleasurable exercises, neglects his

lack of muscular exercise to assist di-
gestion. But it is not impossible, or
even hard. to obtain a certain kind and
amount of exercise to keep the lungs
vigorous and in good working order.
Mere breathing out and breathing in, if
vigorously continued for some time, is
good exercise, but it this is accompa-

striking out with the fists during the
breathing process the desired result will
be more quickly obtained. There is

and increased in them; but when this
divine portion began to fade away in
them, and became diluted too often, and
with too much of the mortal admixture

hand, then, they being unable to bear
their fortune, became unseemly, and
to him who had an eye to see, they be-
gan to appear base, and had lost the
fairest of their precious gifts; but to
those who had no eye to see the true
happiness, they still appeared glorious

were filled with unrighteOusness, avar-
ice and power"

Old Lamps.

Musing over things in general my
thoughts stumbled, the other night,
over Aladdins lamp and its wonderful
powers. And there glimmered onto
the retina of the eye Of thought: Had
not each of us, imprisoned in this cave
of gloom, an old lamp to rub? The
lamp of beloved memory, whose gen.
tie voice, allowed a hearing, would
speak across dreary lapse of years re-
calling sound teachings of a happy
childhood. Were we to rub that old
lamp and summon the genii of by
gone happiness what wonders of heal
ing and reformation might we not
work. But few amongst us can not
recall time when the mind was con-
Scious of constant rectitude begotten
of mothers loving instruction. Can
we not renovate that abandoned in
tiuence and in the quiet of our cells re-
shape our lives on those pure, happy
lines. Tear off the rotten old planks
from the hull; we shall find the ribs and
keel laid down in early life yet capable
of being remodeled and of bearing us
across the dark river in seaworthy con-
ditiOn. Bring out the old lamp from
its forgotten nook and rub up it's good
genius to minister to the warnings for
better future Try it; the white
washed walls will disappear behind
wreathed memories of a pleasant past,
hope will look out beyond prison bars
to fresh pastures, green and glowing in
the sunshine of an honest and manly
resolve. r. f.

Antedeluvian.

The history of man has made very
rapid developments in the past thirty
five years. Ethnologists from their dis
coveries in both hemispheres, are draw
ing conclusions, almost impossible of
refutatiOn, that man not only lived and
tiourished under high state of civillza-
ton before the deluge of Noah, but
that he existed at least 100000 years
ago with a conformation Of skull but
little different from that of modern
man. ,-.
The unearthing of cities and sculpt-
ured records of prehistoric people are
drawing innumerable converging lines
pointing to a very ancient, learned, cult
ured race whose influence radiated in
to all parts of the then known world.
The languages OF many post deluvian
people bear the impress at least of some
common tongue which, like the Anglo
Saxon of to-day, was masterful enough
to be known of all.
Ignatius Donnelly in his ATLANTIS
weaves most ingenious web of de-
auctions from all the difficult branches
of ethnologic science. On it he broiders
finely cOlOred picture of a noble and
enlightened race, inhabiting a great
Atlantic island, whose destruction gave.
not only to the Hebrews, the Greeks,
the Chaldeans, the Hindoos and the
Persians on the eastern, but to the
Peruvians and AZtees of this hemis-
phere, a legend of a great flood. Writ
ing Of this mighty race, Plato gives as
authority his ancestor Scion who de-
rived his knowledge from the Sages of
Egypt. They, it seems, knew of, but
treated as mere incident, the seismic
shudder which resulted in the destruc-
ton OF country, people and a prob
able rival.
His monograph concludes abruptly:
but just before it's break he describes
the social and moral conditions of the
AtlanticS, showing a state which we
of to-day might justly consider mllen-
NAL, so far above us is it. The extract
is as follows:
For many generations, as long as
the divine nature lasted in them, they
were obedient to the laws, and Well-af
fectioned toward the gods, who were
their kinsmen; for they possessed true,
and in every way, great spirits, prac
Using gentleness and wisdom in the va
rious chances of life, and in their inter-
course with one another. They despised
everything but virtue, not caring for
their present state Of life, and
thinking lightly on the possession of
gold and other property, which seemed
only burden to them: neither were
they intoxicated by luxury; nor did
wealth deprive them of their selfcon-
troll; but they were sober, and saw
clearly that all these goods are increased
by virtuous friendship with one another
and that by excessive zeal for them,
and honor of them, the good of them is
lost, and friendship perishes with them.
"By such reflections, and by the con-
tinuance in them of divine nature, all
that which we have described waxed

His Wife Is Missing.

Scott Robinson, the well known and
ever noisy negro grave digger, is In
tears today, the cause being the
strange disappearance of his wife.
The facts as ascertained by a reporter
are as follows:
Ooe week ago Scott supplied his wife
with sufficient money to take trip to
Floresville, where shei attended to visit
relatives. When she arrived at that
place. she wired her husband that
she intended going on and would
stop In FloresviIle but short while.
Robinson was terribly grieved at re-
ceiving the message, and kept the
telegraph operators busy, trying to
locate his lost companion. AS yet,
nothing has been heard of the woman
and the husband is spending his time
in weeping for the "yellow beauty"
as he calls her.
