THE PARIAHS or INDIA.
A New Era Seems to BE Dawning for
These Oppressed People.

These Oppressed People.
The pariahs of India have hitherto
Jared hardly at the hands of the state
no less than at those of their fellows.
But new era seems about to dawn
for them, says the Westminster Ca
zette. Two orders recently published
by the Madras government at least
recognize that they have certain
rights. and abolish some of the unjust
laws which have in the past given the
caste classes an undue privilege. The
first order deals with the land question
and provides that all waste lands
bought in by or forfeited to the gov
eminent are the absolute property of
the government and are thus taken
out of the power of the caste land
holders, who have hitherto insisted on
and been allowed preferential claim.
These lands are to be assigned in small
lots to such pariahs as are able to cul
tivate them to advantage.
The pariahs are also to receive sites
for pariah villages on the waste lands,
and, if the caste people raise a lawsuit
to get possession of any sites SO as
signed, the government is to be repre-
sented in the suit for the protection of
the pariahs. Slavery is not merely
abolished theoretically, as it was in
previous enactments; it will now be
hard to introduce it practically. The
government declares that by the ex-
listing law all bonds executed By par
cnts mortgaging their children's labor
for an advance of money are null and
void. and invite the cooperation Of
missionaries to report and expose all
cases where the law is evaded.

or even white contrasting sharply
with black, favorite combination of
colors this year. With such an over
skirt are worn the usual puff sleeves
and perky hat.
Or the points may be smaller, and in
this case there may be ruffles, one,
two or three. edged with big zigzags
all pointing downward. And then the
yoke will be pointed, too. and the lace
collarette edged with points.
| Nature abhors points. In all her
! laboratories she seldom fashions one.
But no matter.
! If overskirt points are sharp, hats
are fiat, wonderfully fiat. Flat beyond
| precedent. And yet nobody would
know it from their freakish variety of
finished outline. To have been fat
and yet not look like it is apparently
the deceitful purpose, the daily end
and aim of hatdom. No hat has or
will have crown more than half an
inch high. many are absolutely fat
disks of felt with no crowns at all.
Yet all have their fiat estate under the
pale fingers of the STOPPING. dark-eyed
milliner, dreaming of France and her
beloved CASTOR or Pierre away beyond
there. Perhaps she turns the broad
brim sharply up at the left and accen-
tuates it with aigrettes of feathers or
ribbon bows. Perhaps she leaves it
nearly fat but curls plumes cunningly
over the edge and perks pointed bow
ends straight up into the air. Perhaps
she flaps it up in front into wide wall
of felt over which one can scarcely see
the big plumes that deck it. Most
often of all she pulls the brim low
over the eyes in front and heaves it
high behind against the plumes and
bows and bobbing things on top. And
this last is the least trying estate of
the fat hat.
For the average woman of to-day has
a forehead of more than Grecian height.
This, indeed, she deity masks beneath
clustering curls low lying against the
white, but the fat hat sits too high
above her face for beauty of proper
ton. Particularly is the style trying
to high foreheads when the faring hat
brim scars aloft in front.
There cannot be such variety in
make as in fabrics. To the bewilder-
ing kaleidoscope of fall outs and colors
the weaver and dyehouse chemists
have contributed more of charm than
the modiste. Beautiful in extreme are
the shot silks, the 'basket-woven eff
fects in every kind of goods, shot
cheviots and coarse drop changeant,"
spotted muslins and muslins sprigged
and polka dotted, velvets. taffetas and

An Interesting Fish.

The gold fish, which is distributed
over nearly all parts of the world, is
one of the most interesting members
of the finny tribe 1t apparently is
very susceptible to atmospheric
changes. and anyone who likes the
aquarium will be astonished to find
that the beautiful little fish is a true
prophet in matters relating to changes
in the weather. When an area of low

approaching. the gold fish remains
near the surface of the water. while if

CAREFUL OF THEIR COAL.
Russian Warships Csc Sail Exclusively
Unless In a Hurry,

Sn1cSS IN u
People who have been accustomed to
see in the new ships Of the United
States navy the almost entire absence
of nasts and spars have probably. in
many instances. been surprised at the
presence OF tall nasts and immense
sail spreads on the Russian ships re-
Gently in New York, says the Times
The Russians make extensive use CT
sails. The absence of Russian coaling
stations at various points OF the world
makes 1t imperative that the Russian
ships husband their coal supply. To
encourage the commanders of Russian
warships to use as little coal as posi-
Bile, the Russian ministry of marine. it
is said, makes provision for the dis
tribution in money among the officers
and men OF warships of certain per-
centage OF the value of the coal saved.
This allowance goes to the messes of
the officers and seamen. American
naval officers have noted on more than
one occasion. on passing Russian war
ships at sea, that the latter were nearly
always under full sail. The Dimitri
Donskoi, which visited New York re-
Gently, is reported to have sailed from
the Siberian coast to the west coast of
Europe. The Rynda sailed from Cron-
stadt to Montevideo. The Russians
resort to coal only when entering and
leaving ports and when going into &C
ton. or when they want TO make a
rapid passage. The Russian ships,
while in American waters, had no oc-
casion to use dry docks The two Ital-
ian cruisers, Giovanni Bausan and Da-
goli, being upsheathed vessels, were
compelledto use dry docks while here.
Russian warships, when departing
from Russian port, are fitted out with
view of remaining at sea, if neces-
sary, for three years without making
port. With this view even the most
advanced types of many of Russia's
new ironclads are fitted with masts
and spars and carry, nearly all of
them, the studding sail gear SO familiar
thirty years ago on fast American clip
per ships.

therefore watery. Being liable to

The first direct importation was also

price for the season very low, SO that

barely covered the freight and duty,

cost of packing. The duty of 40 cents
On a bushel of ffty-six pounds, to-

prices range from 50 cents to 81 crate
the trade has been a disastrous one.
Together with what has already ar

German, of Maryland, said he per-

of Dubois was one of a series intro
duced for the purpose of consuming
the morning hours. The silver sem
ators were doing more to belittle the
senate in the eyes Of the. people OF the
country than any body of men had
ever done before. Coming to reference
to himself, German said he did not
believe the senator from Colorado
would stand upon the statement he
had made that he (Gorman); ana AL
drich. (of Rhode Island) had been con-
sulting to dsvise means to force a
vote on repeal. II have been mem-

Aldrich denied that at any time he

Wolcot said the senator from Mary

had been introduced to consume time.
The repeal bill was then taken up

dressed the senate in favor of repeal,
