PEELED at once to tramp through hot sun,

missionaries often have to engage, in

Heashen Mourning.

Fashion among Hindoo women re-
ouires an extravagant display of grief
on the death of a son or husband
never, however on the death of a
daughter. The crying required by Gus
tom is so excessive that in many cases
it leads to the loss of eyesight. Many
who have thus mourned have the eye
lashes turned inward, scratching the
cornea till it becomes opaque or nearly
sightless, or else cataract has formed
in one or both eyes. These Indian
women literally cry their eyes out A
recent report tells of woman who lost
both her eyes, mourning, not for SON
or a husband, but merely for a favorite
buffalo.

Popular Form of Policy.

Endowment or investment insur-
ance, which is the most popular form
Of insurance among women, is for the
sole benefit of the assured, the face of
of the policy being payable, if the
party survives at the expiration of the
time specified, whether it be ten, fif-
teen or twenty years. Should the as
sured die prior to the expiration of the
time for which the endowment was to
run the insurance is paid at once to the
beneficiary named in the policy.
Premiums must be paid every year
during the time for which the endow-
ment runs, provided, of course, the as
sured lives that length of time. The
longer the endowment has to run the
lower the rate of premium, and vice
versa. The ordinary life policy is pay
able only on the death of the assured,
the premiums being paid each year
during the entire life of the policy
holder. Rates for this form of insur-
ance are lower than for any other
form except term insurance"

Character in the Laugh.

Telling character by the laugh is the
latest fad. An authority declares:
There are as many laughs as there are
vowels Children, who laugh on A Ghe
broad sound as il father, laugh openly
and frankly. The laugh in E (as in
fete) is appropriate to melancholy dis
positions. The I (as in machine) is the
habitual laugh of naive, slavish, timid
or irresolute persons. The o indicates
generosity and hardihood. Shun like
a pestilence those that laugh in U; it
is the tone of misers and hypocrites' -
There is some truth in these rules, in
spite of their exaggeration.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-In an

edge, with the press and the public,
its president, Miss Clara Barton, assist

where the most gross and unjust
abuse was made of the Turkish gov

Bed Cross, or any of its representa-
tives never visited this legation, it is
clear and logical that this legation has
nothing to communicate to said So

Copenhagen Is Far Ahead of American

The United States consul at Copenha-

photograph of an electric light post

1.-THE general use of electricity as a

other kind of support for the electric

now SO common. Especially is this
need felt on our handsome thorough

WEATHER AND DISEASE.
A subjeot That d Net Yet sumciently
UnzlsrstoOa.


A subjeOt That y Net Yet Sufficiently
UndsrstoOd.
A physician has called attention to
the necessity OF wider range of sys-
tematized data on the relation between
weather and disease. That the various
atmospheric changes should have some
effect on our bodies is easily under
stood, for we know that alteration in
the surface temperature, a change in
the blood pressure, or in the air pres
sure Of the lungs may affect the nervous
system, and all these changes may be
brought about by some popularity In
the natural phenomena which we call
weather. In recent years the subject
has attracted the attention of those
most competent to deal with 1t, and
lately meteorological station has been
attached to the laboratories of the pub
lie health department at Rome, where
lectures are given to students on the
application of meteorology to hygiene.
At present our knowledge of the way
In which the weather acts upon the BODY
is very limited. An attempt to trace
the relation between weather and
disease has recently been made in Eng
land by fellow of the Royal Meteoro-
logical Society, by bringing together a
number of statistics dealing with the
phenomena of the weather and some
well-known diseases, chiefly zymotic,
presenting them by graphic method
in a systematic manner. 1t is sug-
~gested that doctors generally make con-
tributions to the available data on this
subject, which would be of extreme
value. There are few people, too, who
could not give instances of the influence
which the weather has upon them.
either mentally or physically. On some
constitutions the seasons have marked
influence. With many the spring, with
its bright days and clear air, is felt to
be the time of the year when they get
the most enjoyment out Of life; while
others, probably of a more sensitive
temperament, experience the greatest
gum Of happiness and health when
peaceful autumn wraps them in its Sc
rene atmosphere.
On the other hand, winter or sum-
mer, as the case may be, produces in
other temperaments the greatest con-
summation of healthy vitality. Certain
changes in the weather, too, tend to in
crease or diminish the amount of en-
ergy that we put into our daily work,
and in certain large factory it is
recognized that from 10 to 20 per cent
less work is done on dull days and days
of threatening storm. The whole sub
ject is one which, pursued in proper
scientific spirit, should be productive
of useful results. Its investigation
might, at all events, afford people the
satisfaction of knowing exactly why
their poor bodies are so much at the
mercy of atmospheric variations

Bomsshell, an Artillery Dog.

While a gun was being loaded,
Bombshell would sit on the parapet
and watch the oper alton. That fin
ished, he would jump and look out to
sea over the range, and then scamper
down from the parapet and follow US
into the bomb-proof
AS usual, Bombshen was on hand to
see the test of the new big gun.
He superintendent the loading, and
while 1 was aiming the gun, he looked
over the range as carefully as did the
lookout; and from his air of RESPONSE
Dll1ty one might have supposed that
to him had been intrusted the duty
of seeing that the range was clear.
But when we started for the bomb
proof, instead of following US, as was
his custom, Bonn bsheH remained on the
parapet, looking out to sea and smiling
the air. In a moment he dashed off
through the bushes which covered the
narrow beach between the parapet and
the sea.
Though thinking his action peculiar,
was sure that he would not remain
in front of the gun, because he had
done SO once, when quite young and
inexperienced, and the burning grains
of powder-which are always thrown
out by the blast of a gun-had buried
themselves in his skin, burning him
badly. He had never forgotten this.
Certain that he would take care of
himself, 1 paid no further attention to
him, but went with the others into the
bomb-proof, and took my place by the
electric key, ready to fire at the COM
mand of the captain.
Just as the command 'Fire!' was
about to be given, Bombshel reap
peared on the parapet and began to
bark furiously into the very muzzle OF
the gun.
I called to him, but he would not
come. Annoyed at the delay of the
test. tried to catch him, but could
not do so. AS I approached he re-
treated, still barking and apparently
urging me to follow him.
Finally, convinced from the dogs
actions that something was wrong, the
electric wire was disconnected from
the gun, and I followed Bombshell
Wagging his tail with joy at having
accomplished his object, he led me
through the underbrush to the beach.
There, concealed behind clump of
bushes, were two little children, quiet
ly digging in the sand and entirely I'M
conscious of the danger in which they
had been.-Lieut. John C. w. Brooks

Accommodating Railroads.

The railroad service in Asia Minor
is as romantic as the unspeakable
Turk. The Broussa Of1ciel relates that
a short time since one of the trains run
ming between Broussa and Mondania
stopped on reaching an extensive vine
yard; the conductor and engineer then
went to cutting grapes, filling tin can
after tin can, and desisted only after a
long alteration with the guard of the
place. 1t is further said that at one
time a train stopped to let a brakeman
pick up his tobacco pouch; at another
time, to let a passenger run back and
recover his hat.

WILL RETURN ALIMONY.
Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt to ReIfnquish
100000 al d Her AnnuaIlY.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The Belmont
Vanderbilt wedding is the chief topic of
society's conversation. The latest rumor
is that Mrs. Belmont is seriously consid-
ering the advisability of relinquishing
her claim to the alimony granted her by
William Z. Vanderbilt.
Under the settlement made at the time
of the divorce she enjoys an annual iu-
come of 100000, and the securities
which provide this sum have passed out
of Mr. Vanderbilt custody. In her
present position she is independent of
this alimony, and it was reported that
steps toward returning it to her former
husband have already been taken.

the widows. of generals were being
