An . rule. they act up to this article
Of belief. or. rather. they live down to
1t. Yet once upon = time. even In In
dia, there seems to have been = golden
ago for women. Their present social
condition II traced to the Mohammedan
invasion. The country was harraased
by erruptions of Arabs and Persians
from the year 1000 until It was con-
quered by the Sultan Daber in 1-2b.
The Moslems brought with them not
only ravage and bloodshed. but many
evils hitherto III known In :he country
The Hindoo homes were robbed OF their
women and girls to AL the harems. or
zenanas, as they are called In india,
and the Hindoos shut up their wives
aud daughters In order to protect
them. Only the higher castles could
do this effectually. Stern necessity re-
quired that the poorer girls nrd women
should work. and 1t offers degrees OF
liberty on a descending scale. Tho
higher the caste. the more complete the
seclusion.
1t is computed that at least 100000
girls and women live behind the pur-
dab. or curtain. metaphorically q veil
OF dignity. which shuts them on from
the outer world. II is not from want
Of natural humanity that xenans ID

It is said that he even "sins religious

woman must be protected; that sne

window into the street: that NO man
except q near relation must look on
her face. and. II she offends. she may

According TO the ofilcial statistics o.,
our commerce the first consignments
OF Egyptian cottos coming directly 20
the United States were received during
the nscal year 1854, and amounted TO
17<.3tS pounds, From this small be-
ginning our direct imports rapidly iu-
cseascd until In the fiscal year 1896
they had reached no less fgurc than
lS.5't.7S9 pounds. With the excep-
zion OF Egypt. the only cotton produc-
irG country from which the United
States Imports any considerable
amount Is Peru. The Peruvian cotton.
like the Egyptian. owes Its use In this
country to certain pccul!arities OF quail
Ny that make II better nttcd for some
special purposes than our own varl-
eSien. but neither the Peruvian nor the
Egyptian can properly be sald to come
Into direct competition with our ma
tive cot,onx. As compared with the
Egyptian. however. the quantity OF
Peruvian cotton imported is very
small. Tho largest Importation ever
recorded. that for tn. fiscal year 1893.
amounted to only 3.<ii.6i9 pounds.

Newspaper readers following the
present European complications have
doubtless wondered at the German EN-
perOr's attitude toward Greece, of
which country his sister Sophia hopes
to be queen some day.
The former Princess Sophia of Prus-
STA now Crown Princess of the He'll
enes and Duchess of Sparta, has not
been on good terms with her imperial
and imperious brother, from the day,
three or four years ago. when she first
declared her intention to join the Greek
Church. The Emperor made strenuous
opposition to this resolve. but the
Duchess, after explaining that she had
been IN no way coerced, either by her
husband or his family to take the step,
quietly put an end to the discussion by
embracing the faith OF her future sub
jects.
Since then the Princess Sophia has
become a stranger in her native city.
and her name is never even mentioned
at the Berlin court
The Cretan incident afforded the Kali
ser the first opportunity to punish Prin-
cess Sophia and her husband. 1t was
he who proposed that the Piraeus be
blockaded at once. The Crown Prince
of the Hellenes has become one of the
most popular women of Athens. where
she leads all movements to benefit
womankind and aid the poor OF late
she has become the patroness of a So
ciety for the introduction of a new ma
tional dress. She is also at the head of
an organization for furnishing whole
some food to the poor at cost nrice and
poor school children receive free noon
day meals at her expense every day in
the year.

Islands and New Zealand each of
which is considerably deeper than the
great Asiatic mountain is tall
The hight of Mount Gaurisankar is
supposed to be about $4,000 feet or a
tritle less than five miles and a half.
The most profound of the ocean pit
just referred to sinks to a depth of
about 1900 feet, thus exceeding by
1000 feet the elevation of the loftiest
mountain known
But there is a bare chance that the
mountain may come out ahead yet, be-
cause the Himalayas have not been
thoroughly explored, and rumor asserts
that. in the heart of that immense
range, and shut out by an almost in
accessible wilderness of icy peaks and
tremendous walls of rock there are
snowy SUBMITS which soar higher
