A Sad Picture Of tho Child.wifs System
Tolerated in India.
(From Temple BAIL
A little girl In India went to the missionary
school; she was pretty, clever little thing,
and SO attracted the teacher that she ventured
to visit her in her homo. She found the child
overshadowed by the horror Of her approach
ing marriage. As baby she had been be-
trothed, but, according to custom, she lived
In her fathers house till she was twelve; then
she was to be taken from her own people and
given over to her husband. hideous little
man, deformed, his face SCARED with disease,
OF bad character and notoriously given to
drink
The child was terrified Of him, and h de-
rived ghoul-like pleasure from her terror;
used to jump at her in the dark. make faces
at her, and told her that once really married
to him, and In his home, he and his old mother
would make short work of her beauty with
red-hot fork, so that it would soon be difficult
to choose between their two faces.
At last the fatal day arrived The mis-
sionary's heart 'ached for the little friend she
was unable to help. and as she went about
her work she prayed that God might save His
hapless creature.

She had washed har little neraon and her

Long Skirts on a Bicycle.

A recent bicycle accident to young girl In
North Attleboro emphasizes the danger OF
skirts. Her dress in some way became en-
tangled in the rear wheel Of her machine and
wound around the sprocket and chain SO
tightly that she was thrown to the ground.
Fortunately she was riding slowly. so that ne
serious injury resulted. except in her skirt.
In vain she worked and tugged over it. In a
few minutes she was surrounded by sympa-
thizers of the feminine sex, and various expe-
dients were proposed, but finally the only
practical one was adopted. Another skirt
was sent for, and behind the shelterIng group
the embarrassing change was effected, and
the labyrinth of bicycle and skirt was
left in friendly dooryard until the girls big
brother would call for it.-Boston Adyer-

HON FORTUNES ARE MADE.

Brought TO Practical Conditions.
From the San Francisco Argonautl
The largest fortunes OF the present day have
been acquired by applying an acute and en-
terprising mind to the improvement OF the
conditions OF life. Some OF the largest among
them may be traced to the extension of the
railroad, telegraph, and telephone systems, to
the sewing machine, to the automatic agri-
cultural machines, to the application OF cleo
tricity to mechanics, to new applications of
chemistry to manufactures.
Henry Bessemer, who discovered a way to
convert carburetted iron into steel, was a
type. He rendered 1t possible to gridiron
this country with steel rails, and, of course.
he became n millionaire Any young man
who will devise n method of making an ar
ticle OF general use at less than the present
cost, or OF making it better in quality at the
same cost, will make a fortune as he did. The
article need not be an important one so long
as it is generally consumed.
