Wives on Probation.

The Andaman islands are used by
Great Britain as penal settlement for
Indian and Burmese convicts.
The greater part of the life convicts
who are good characters are "self sup
porters that is, men out on ticket of
leave in the settlement. These men are
allowed to marry. The convict women,
on the other hand, are always kept un-
der close supervision in the female con-
vict Jail.
When the "self supporter" is troubled
with hymeneal aspirations, he visits the
female Jail and informs the overseer

During these seven days she lives with

that of married couple.

The severest wit of his time, Voltaire,
was more than once imprisoned in the Bias
tile for having directed his satire against
tho powers that were. His first incarcera
ton for such an otfense was in l717, when
he leveled u biting set of verses and later "a
satirical composition i'm Latin, against the
regent, the Duke of Orleans.
The justly inccnsod regent ordered him
to be taken to the Bastille; but, forgetting
his insulter almost Immediately, he left
the wretched Voltairo in prison for IL
months.
When the poet was remembered and re-
leased, the generous duke, unmindful of
anything save the tedious Imprisonment
his lampooner had suffered, sent for him
and granted him pension of $500 a year,
to soothe his wounded feelings.
Noltaire accepted the gift with as much
witty grace as gratitude.

ClVlLlZlNG THE NEGRO.
Some of the Results of English DONNA
ton In South Africa.

The bulk of late authority is to the effect
! that civilization at present harms the negro
by exposing him TO diseases he never knew
! before. In his savage state the black man
| goes naked and becomes strong by a con-
slant contact with the fresh air. The first
thing done for the happy black heather Is
to make him wear uncomfortable clothing,
in which he sweats and breeds poisonous
microbes with horrible fluency. He never
changes this clothing, and when he gets
wet he knows no better than to dry them
by sitting close to the fire. In this way he
contracts fever and undermines an other
wise robust constitution. For this reason
many magistrates hold the opinion that
from the adoption OF civilized customs by
the natives and the consequent increase of
disease, there will result check to the
present rate of increase among the blacks.
The death rate an long so called Christian
natives is larger IL Jan among those in the
savage state owing TO reasons above given,
, but here again we have to remember that
the savage state referred To is one protected
by English laws and the Christians refer
red To are such els have not learned how TO
preserve their lpealth under changed con-
ditions Of life. With increased pressure of
population in South Africa and increased
difficulty in wandering away to new terri
tory, the blacks win be forced into pretty
much the same social state as they are to
day in the southern part of North America
TIE frightful rinderpest which has ravaged
their country during the past year, COM
! bincd with the locust plague, has compelled
an industrial movement among the blacks
, undreamcd of before. In former years the
| tribes afflicted by want of food would have
gone upon the wtrpath and sought to
! plumber some of their neighbors; today
! they send out their young mCn TO earn
wages in the fields lor in the mines of the

describe one design. There was one
emerald green stripe half an inch wide,
shading into pea green and from that TO

the whole were fine lines of black, max

The almost universal use Of the shirt
waist calls for skirts made with q view
TO wear with the waist and entirely
separated from It, that it can borrow
no beauty or grace from the contact
Therefore we find homespun stutfs in
plaids of immense size and wide stripes
to wear with plain waists. The plaid
waists look better when worn with
black or dark plain goods. The skirt to
be worn with the shirt waist should al
ways be of quite thick material. The

these stripes are dainty flowers scattered

PRACTICAL HOUSEKEEPING.
Keeping Up Table Foe a Family OF
Fight on $40 n Week.

/ In the MAY Ladies' Home Journal Mrs.
! :. II. Rorer shows that a family of two,
/ with one servant. can live well on an ex-
pcrditurc Of S. a week for food in Phila-
/ dclrhia and the ,ast So in the south and
! $40 in New England. These figures she
saws, cover milk. flour, meat and market
! ing, as well as groceries, and are hasea
upon the presumption that the woman or
| the family Is practical housekeeper.
Last summer Mrs ROrer writes, II
was experimenting very closely and care
fully my own household which numbered
at the time eight persons and without tho
slightest difficulty arranged an exceeding
IN attractive table with an expenditure OF
only $40 per week, and this covered every
thing used on the table, three meals day.
To do this l purchased beef by the loin,
taking out the fillet using 1t as roast
one day for dinner; made stock from the
bones and rough pieces, quite enough To
last for half the week. The back was tax
en- off and cut into steaks and the tough
lean end divided, one portion being used
for Hamburg steaks and the other for
brown stew with vegetables. From this
one loin. which cost Sl.75 l had sufficient
stock for three days and meat for four
dinners, freshly cooked for each meal,
making an average cost OF A cents n
meal.
Mrs. Rorer also states that family of
six. with two servants, "can live quite
well with an expenditure for the table Of
Sl4 a week Where people have sufficient
means 10 live as the world call well, but
which, from a hygienio standpoint is

fruit, cereal, eggs or chop, mullins

Of doing what is practically the same

interesting and amusing to the thoughtful
observer. On American ferryboats the i'm

man in the wheolhouse communicates with
his fellow mortal in the engine room. On
the Thames, however, it would be con-

information in this manner, and the cap
