left standing in the streets without a

NEW YORK LETTER.
lspEcIAE coEEEsroNpENcE. !

Whether New York will ever get
rapid transit through the means pro-
vidcd bv the constitution aui the
Legislature Will depend largely upon
the vigilance with which the people
who demand il watch the muVcmg uts
of rapid trnusit's enemies. Ii il now
reported that some members of the
Board of Aldermen have begun t. en-
tertain grave doubts about the advau-
tages OF rapi transit on the lines laid
down by the commissioners. For the
benefit of any member whose iudg-
ment in this matter may be affected
by the illustrated arguments of the
corporations who are now in the slow
transit business, and who are natural
ly anxious to kill off any rapid transit
plan, | desire to call attention to the
fate of the celebrated Board, most of
whose members took an absorbing in
terest in the Broadway horse railway
scheme when that enterprise was so
liberally ushered into the Aldermanic
chamber and So hastily carried
through. 1t will he remembered that
some municipal fathers went Us far MS
Montreal for their health's sake, while
others tarried at Sing Sing. The
people of New York want rapid tram
sit, aud the Board of Aldermen will
Ito well to keep that fact constantly
before them.

The proposed reorganization of the

Semi-weekly independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1895-1897, 1895-12-21

Here's curious thing-a river in the
United States that goes to waste lust
Us do some of those far away tropical
streams you read about All travellers
in Colorado know of the Interesting
Neta Pass in the southern part of the
State, by which the railroad finds its
way over the Sangre de Cristo range,
into the great dry plain of San Louis.
AT the western gate of this pass stands
the tallest mountain in Colorado. Sierra
Blanca, about 14.4J0 feet in altitude.
Neta Pass opens south of this peak.
North of il is an opening into another
pass. now almost forgotten. called Mos
ca Pass by the Spanish settlers who
formerly used it 4 great deal. II is
Il gorge Of a mountain stream. which
comes rushing down The snowy heights
of the central range gathering contri-
buttons from each S.Ope until. when Il
Reaches the open valley among the foot
hills, ii is Il nOiSysanC powerful torrent
Never was river more promising.
and Is You descend its rapidly growing
current, you picture To yourself the
wide belt of green farms which il must
irrigate out there on the plains. But
alas. No such bcneficence awaits it.
Across the mouth of the pass on the
western side the winds have heaped a
line of sand dunes. They are as yell
low as gold, and sharp ridged as the
waves of chOpping sea. Into them
the river rusheS from its mountain
sally post, joyous and brave in its
strength, but it never passes beyond.
The thirsty sand swallows up, as fast
as they come, the ceaSeleSs supplies the
river pours down. The waves sub
side, the current slackens. the ripples
spread out and disappear, and you may
walk upon a dusty strand around the
gorge of that brave stream within
hundred yards of where it dashes out
of its rocky gates.

PalnliStry.

Palmistryi is scientifically explained by
the fact that some of our most sensi-
tive nerves have their seat in the palm
Of the hand, and as each time We are
conscious of sensation there is a great
vibration of the nerve conveying that
particular sensation To its center. the
continual setting in motion of any par
ticular nerve produces a very marked
depression in its own particular path,
these depreSSionS being nothing more
nor less than The familiar lines in the

be made from this. but such Il theory
has nothing To offer in support of what
constitutes the palmist's popularity.

est doubt. 1t IS an excellent guide to

The Women of Iudia.

Mrs. Annie Besants observations Of
women in India, during Il recent visit
to that country, led her to think them
very intelligent, and while their stand
ards and methods of education differ
materially from those in other cOun-
tries, according to their own estimate
of learning, many of the women are
highly educated. Reading and writing
are not part Of their education. how
ever, as all their knowledge is acquired
from "Pundits," who go from house to
house every week, to give oral instruc-
tons in philosophy and literature to the
entire household, so the memory is
wonderfully strengthened by this proc
ess Of training the mind quickly to
grasp and retain all the information en-
tirely independent of books for refer
ence.
Indian women are peculiarly simple
and childish in character, yet very diff
ferent from other Europeans of the
same class. Northern and Southern In
dia, says Mrs. Besant, are two distinct
countries in all the laws and customs
which affect women. In the north the
"Purdah" is i'm full power, and the
women look upon any publicity as an
outrage, while in the south their posi-
ton is quite different, yet men and
women do not meet freely in society.
Mothers and grandmOthers have great
influence and authority in the family
and home life, and in outside affairs
as well, for an Indian will not act in a
public matter against the advice of
either one. In Southern India very
young children are married, and if the
infant husband dies his youthful widow
can never marry again.

The Trpsses OF a Maid.

The bridal veil is of Eastern origin,
being a relic Of the canopy held over the
heads of the happy pair. The old Brit
fish custom was to use Natures veil I'M
adOrned-that Is, the long hair of the
bride, which was worn by all brides
royal. noble and simple. Only then did
all behold the tresses of maidenhood in
their entirety, and for the last time,
as after marriage this badge Of virgin
fly was neatly dressed on the head.
Anon some the tresses were cut and
carefully slowed away when n woman
became n wife. 1t is customary In Rus
sia for village brides to excise their
locks on returning from church. The
peasanIy of that country have pretty
song. the gist being the lamentation of
n newly married wife over her golden
curls. just cut off, ere she laid them
low"
