The other day Buggins invited Muggins
out to dinner. MugginS is rather shy, but
he managed to scare up enough courage
to accept. Mrs. Buggins and the three
Misses Buggins held a council Of war.
What is Mr.. Muggins fond of?' queried
Mrs. Buggins

The truth of the matter is that Muggins
hates coffee with a bitter, undying hatred
that was Unborn. If he ever drank eight
mugs Of anything 1t surely was not coffee.
But Buggins went home and told his
family that as long as Muggins had a cup
of good coffee he didn't care a row of
pins about anything else.

He gulped it down and tried to look calm.
Then the second daughter Of the hostess
spied his cup empty. she rushed up for
another. His shyness overpowered him
and he took it without a murmur He
swallowed that too. The eagle eye Of the
youngest Miss Buggins fell upon him. He
quailed.
Poor Mr.. Muggins.' said she sympa-
thetically, have they neglected you
Never mind; I'll take care Of you. Here's
a cup of coffee"
How could he refuse. He never has
discovered how he emptied that cup. All
he remembers after that is the hostess
coming up with another cup of coffee on
one side of him and Buggins with a genia
smile insisting on giving him a fifth dose.
II want TO make you feel at home,' said
he.
"Wen then" said Muggins. recovering
from his shyness, don't give me any

We rode on toward our hotel wishing
that marriage in all India might be as
much honored as in the ceremony we had
that evening witnessed at the Parsee we'd
ding. The Hndoo women are not so mar
ried. They are simply cursed into the
conjugal relation. Many of the girls are
married at seven and ten years of age, and
some Of them are grandmothers at thirty
They can never go forth into the sunlight
with their faces uncovered. They must stay
at home. Ali styles of maltreatment are
theirs. IL they become Christians they be-
come outcasts. A missionary told me in
India Of Hindoo woman who became n
Christian. She had nine children Her
husband was over seventy years of age
and yet at her Christian baptism he told
her to go. and she went out homeless As
long as woman is down India will be down.
No nation was ever elevated except
through the elevation Of woman. Parsee
marriage is an improvement on Hindoo
marriage, but Christian marriage Is an inn
provement on Parsee marriage.
A fellow traveller in India told me he
had been writing to his home in England
trying to get law passed that no white
woman could be legally married in India
until she had been there six months. Ad-
mrable law would that bel IL a white
woman saw what married life with a
Hindoo is, she would never undertake It,
OF with the thick and ugly veil from
woman's facet OFF with the crushing
burdens from her shoulders Nothing but
the gospel OF Jesus Christ will ever make
life in India what II ought to be.

There's hard luck for you.
Quite Silly but Plausible.

A good story is told of Mr.. Claude
De La Roche Francis, of New York.
who recently appeared as a witness
IN the Pollard breckenridge case.
While he was favoring Washington
with his aristO cratic presence In the
winter Of 1862, he was naturally the
subject of considerable social atten-
tion On one occasion a very swell
dinner was given in his honor. It
was decided failure, however, because
of his non-attendence. What made
the Disappointment especially keen
was the fact that he had accepted the
invitation and had failed to give any
notice of his inability to attend. Two
days later he called on the lady who
gave the dinner and apologiZed for
his apparent rudeneSs by saying that
he had made every arrangement to be
present and had actually left his
apartments for that purpose, when it
suddenly occurred to him that the
date set for the function was the an
niversary of the beheading of Marie
Antoinette and that, as it was the
rule Of his family to observe that
lamentable event by fasting and
mourning. it would have been man.
ifestly improper for him to take part
in the festiyity organized in his honor.
He made this explanation In evident
sincerity as amply sufficient for his
apparent lapse and at the same time
To impress his hostess with his SYM
pathy and famil arity with the Gus
toms Of the royal families OF Europe.

fast eaten by most people. Break
fast is the most important meal of
the day, and sufficient importance is
not attached to it in the majority of
households. After the long fast en-
forced between supper or late dinner
and seven or eight o'clock in the
morning. a person in good health
should feel hungry, and at this hour
of the day the heartiest meal may be
eaten with the least probability of
bad results The man who starts out
in the morning after hav NJ eaten a
hearty breakfast will seldom, unless
suffering from chronic indigestion,

which might follow a similar meal at
any other time Of day, The chances
are he will enjoy a happy frame Of

he will find himself with an excellent

Far from dreading their sale, the
girls Of CircaSsia look forward TO il
as the great opportunity Of their
lives Each believes that il is she
who may find grace and favor in the
royal crown, and thus control at will
the rise or fall Of the royal scepter,
says a writer in the Popular Science
Monthly.
But even If not chosen by royalty.
those Iwho purchase the beautiful
damsels OF CiTcassia are the wealthy
and titled: and not the slightest
social degradation is attached 10 their
position, even when taken to harems
wherein a Turkish wife NAV be in
stalled as head Of the household.
The common dependence Of all the
inmates Of ha EN- upon the favor Of
lord who may at any time elevate
the Circassian slave TO the position
OF lady fosters a spirit Of equality
of pure, practical democracy-that
would be incOnceivable under any
other circumstances. As q Turkish
lady explained TO an astonished En-
glish visitor: "A slave NAV become
lady any day, and in treating her as
one beforehand we rake OF very
much Uf the awkwardness which
would else ensue." When we con-
slider that all the children OF slaves
are acknowledged as the legitimate
children OF their father, We must
confess in justice 10 the Turk that
theirs is a condition in which the evils
OF slavery 10 the slave are reduced TO
a minimum.
