LETTER FROM INDIA.

1 Will try to describe in this letter some
 of the obstacles that we meet and the diff faculties which we have to contend with
 in the prosecution of missionary work in
 India, and also suggest the encouraging
 features of the work and the progress that
 is being made.
 Perhaps there are some people in christ
 ian lands who think that the heather
 stand with open arms ready to receive the
 missionary and listen to his teaching,
 and when they are once told of the vast
 superiority of christianity to their poly
 theistic and idolatrous religion, they will
 eagerly accept the former. Such, how
 ever, is not the case The minds of the
 heather are preoccupied with their own
 idolatrous and superstitious ideas, and
 the saddest thing about it is that they are
 satisfied with this false religion, and do
 not want anything better. Perhaps l
 ought not to use the word "satisfied'
 without qualifying it's meaning. Ofcourse these people cannot be really satisfied
 with their heather worship in the way that the religion of Christ satisfies This dissatisfaction shows itself in various
 ways, especially among the educated classes. But still the Hindus cling to their religion with a wonderful tenacity, and resist every effort which is made to get them to accept christianity. In all most every Hindu home there are the household gods, little idols which are kept in niche in the wall prepared for them. These gods are worshipped every day. This worship is performed either by some member of the family or by a Brahmin priest employed for the purpose. It consists of taking down the gods and bathing them in water, then wiping them dry and returning them to their places and decorating them with flowers. They are also annointed with red pigment, and certain prayers are repeated. Food, either cooked or uncooked, is offered to them, and it is supposed that they par take of it spiritually, although the crude form which we see does not disappear No Hindu takes his morning meal with out first offering some portion of it to the images. Besides this household worship the people go to the temples where there are large idols and worship there. They prostrate themselves before the god, cir cumambulate it number of times, offer it food, etc. The Brahmins are worship ped as earthly gods, and one way of ob- taining salvation is to drink some of the water in which a Brahmin has dipped the great toe of his right foot! In fact, in Hinduism almost anything can be wor- shipped. I was astonished at one time when was at Mahableshwar, to see a stone monument wich was erected on a h iA in memory of an English officer, with corner of it daubed over with red paint, and to be told that that the natives actually worshipped it! One of our mis- sionaries saw native bringing his offer ings of cocoanut and rice, and imploring the favor of the spirit which dwelt in the It may be interesting to Americans to know that Lold Cornwallis. |

The November number of Scribner's s
 Magazine has for its leading article one
 of especially timely interest on ''Election Night in a Newspaper Office," written by
 Julian Ralph, one of the New York Suns
 most valued special correspondents and a
 newspaper man of wide experience. He describes, with his well-known vividness
 and truth, the exacting and laborious
 work done by the staff of of a metropoli-
 tan newspaper at such a time, and gives a
 realistic impression of the excitement and rush attending the analysis and summariz- ing of the immense volume of news re- .ceived during election night. The famil- far scenes in front of the office bulletin
 the cheering crowds and the humorous aspects of all are drawn with perfect
 knowledge and active sympathy. It is fully illustrated with drawings by B. West Clinedinst. Col. H. c. Prouts second article on "English Railroad Methods" deals with their organization and man. agement. The illustrations are by A. B.
 Frost. Prof. N. s. Shaler's article on
 'The Horse' tells in an untechnical and thoroughly interesting way of the devel- opment of this fine animal Four brief sketches entitled "True Pictures Among the Poor," by Robert Howard Russell,
 William T. Elsing, Edward w. Townsend and James Barnes, tell without unneces- sary coloring, of actual incidents. "The
 King of Currumpaw," by Ernest E. Thomp- son, with illustrations by the author and from photographs. is the remarkable story of an enormous wolf whose depredations made him terror for many years among the ranchmen of New Mexico George I.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Cincinnati Tribune: Att pleasant home in Covington the other evening a happy company were gathered. The host and hostess had just returned from trip to Mackinac. and the young wife was relat- ing to her guests some of he incidents of the journey.
 "Oh, learned so many things while we were gone," said she, and her pretty face was lighted with the most becoming ani- nation as she went on breathlessly.
 'We stopped one day at the state in- stitution for the deaf and dumb in Michi- gan, and what do you think the steward told us? Why, he said they sift barrel of flour for every meal there.''
 "A barrel of four!' said young lady who was listening.
 Yes" said the hostess triumphantly, flor every meal And how many pota- toes do. you suppose they peel for dinner i? Guess"
 Nobody dared.
 'Ten bushels. Just think of it! And when they have watermelon it takes just 260 to go round. But listen. That isn't all. They seed 175 pounds of raisins for the Sunday cake, and they put 21 bushels of apples in the pies. Don't they, Harry?
 Harry was the husband and the com panion in this remarkable voyage of dis covery. He turned to his wife fondly and then drawled out the meanest speech of his married life:
 ''Yes, my dear. Not only that. but they milk one whole COW every day."
 For a pain in the side or chest there is nothing so good as a piece of flannel damp ened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound on over the seat of pain.

Mound.

HlLsnoRo, Quo, Feb. 9S,-Farmer
Warren Cowen, OF lIillsboro, Ohio,
while fox hunting recently, discovered
several ancient graves. They were stu.
atod upon high point OF land in High.
land county, about Il milo from tho
famous Serpent mound (where Pro.
lessor Putnam, OF Harvard, made intor-
csting disCovUrlos). As soon rs the
weather permitted, Cowen excavated
several OF those graves. lilo informed
the lSTELLlGESCEI correspondent that
tho graves were made OF largo Limestone
slaba, two and half 10 three ieot in
length, and Il foot wide, Those wCrC set
on edge about n foot apart. Similar
slabs covered tho grave. A single ono
somewhat larger was at the head and
another ut tho feet. Tho top OF tho
grave was two feet below tho present
surface.
Upon opening ono OF tho graves a
skeleton upwards OF six feet in length
was brought to light. There wcro
number Of stone hatchGts, beads and
ornaments OF peculiar workmanship
near the right arm. Several large flint
spear and arrow heads among tho ribs
gave evidence that tho mighty warrior
had died in battle In another grave
was the skeleton OF man equally large.
Tho right leg had boon broken during
life, and the bones had grown together.
The protubcrAncc at the point OF union
was rs large rs M egg, and the limb
was bent like n bow. BY the feet Law
skull OF some enemy or slave. Several
pipes and pendants were near tho
shoulders.
In tho other graves Cowon made
equally interesting finds. 1t seems
that this region was populated by Il
fairly intelligent people, and that the
Serpent mound was an object OF wor.

Weak Opposition to tho Wilson Ri

Weak Opposition TO tho Wilson Bill.
There is something impressive in the
attitude Of Democratic senators who arc
making trouble over tho Wilson bill.
The louisiana brethren point 10 tho
threatened destruction OF the sugar in,
dustry OF their state and say they will
not stand it. Fix sugar and the bill
will suit them.
Senator German thinks it an outrage
to put coal on the free list. His state
has = largo coal production. Coal must
be made right before Senator German
can look with favor on the bill. The
West Virginia senators make plea for
coal, but they will vote for the bill rs
the Democratic majority may agree
upon it.
Senator Hill and his shadow are bit
terly opposed 10 the income tax and
they make objection to some itoms in
the tariff schedules. Senator Brice
wants coal taken care OF and threatens
that the bill shall not 90 through with.
out this change. He is against the in.
come tax also.
The weakness OF the opposition istbat
it is not based on a broad principle.
Tho sugar senators care nothing about
coal, the coal senators arc not bother
ing themselves about sugar. The count
less industries threatened by the bill
may 80 to the dogs il the Directing sena-
tors can get few big things OF special
interest to them in political way.
Another element OF weakness is that
the senators who find fault with certain
features OF the tariff bill are in. a minor
ity in Democratic Congress which set
out to rip up protection generally.
Ii these senators are in dead earnest
:hey should be consistent, stand ior
protection as principle to be applied
generally, and so in with the Republi-
can minority to make their opposition
to the Wilson bill decisive.
