Girls in India.

All girls in India are very fond of
pretty and bright colored dresses. The
dress is simply FIVE yards of muslin.
When only three or four years old, a
little girl begins to learn how to wind it
gracefully around the body and over the
shoulders. When she goes into the
street she slips one end over the head
as veil. A little. short-sleeved jacket
is the only other garment she wears.
This is very cool and comfortable Co.'S
tune for the hot climate. Every family
has a jewel-box. full of little "cubby.
holes" for each ornament. This is often
buried in the mud floor of the woman's
inner apartment. II you want to see
their iewelry, you must make an ap-
pointment beforehand so they can dig
it up. Once in eight days the girls and
and women wash comb and oil their hair,
have it nicely braided. They also take
off and brighten the jewelry at this
time. They would rather starve than
give up their iewelry, they are 80 fond
of it. The poorest people make theirs of
tin, brass. lead. glass, sealing wax. and
shells.--Ouer Sea and Land.

A 16-Year Old Girl Has
Nervous PrOStratiOn
The Reviving Effects of a Proper
Nerve Food Demonstrated.
From the Era, Bradford. Pa.

Several months ago, Miss Cora Wa
trous, the siXteen-year old daughter of
Mr.. |. Q. Watrous, locomotive fireman,
of 81 Clarion Street, Bradford, Penna
was seized with nervous disoId der which
threatened to end her life The first
symptom of the ailment was a loss of
appetite. For SOM little time Miss Wa
trous had no desire to eat and complained
of feeling of complete lassitude. This
was followed by severe pains in the head.
For three weeks the young lady was
nearly craZed with a terrible headache
and nothing could be procured to give
her relief.
Finally after trying numerous remedies,
a physician was called and began treat
ing the patient. He said the trouble was
caused by impoverished blood, but after
several weeks of his treatment the young
lady's condition had not improved and
the parents decided to procure the SER
vices of another physician. In the mean
time Miss Watrous' nervousness had in
creased, the pains in her head had grown
more severe and the sufferers parents
had almost given up hope of her recovery.
1t was at this time that Mr.. Watrous
heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He found that the pills
were highly recommended for nervous
disorders and concluded to give them a
trial. A box of the pills was purchased
and before they had all been taken there
was marked improvement in the girls
condition. After half dozen boxes had
been used, the young lady's appetite had
returned, the pain in her head had ceased
and she was stronger than at any time
previous to her illness.

Miss Watrous concluded that her cure
was complete and left home for visit to
relatives in the grape country near Dun
kirk, N. Y. She stopped taking the med
icine and by over-exertion brought the
ailment back again. AS soon as this re-
turning symptoms were felt, Miss Wa
trous secured another box of pills and the
illness was soon driven away. She is
now in better physical condition than
she las been for years and declares that
she ows her lite to DR.. Williams Pink

daybreak it was unusually dark on the
mountain. Bromley was sleeping more
lightly than usual, and, following his
experience OF the night. he was dream

pened because the cub in the chimney
from time to time put his small nose to
a hole in the door and whined, and then
growled as he fell back into the ashes.
One of the light cracker. boxes stood
on end just inside the door. and it was
the noise of this object thrown over on
the floor that startled Bromley in the
midst of his dream, just at the point
where he saw the bear approaching. He
was awake in an instant, but the spell OF
the dream was still on him. and he won

the bear in his sleep, he saw only two
glittering eyes in the doorway, For an

He saw the grayish opening of the
window in the surrounding blackness,
and peculiar hole in the roof not quite
covered by the pieces of shelter-tent; and
just as he came to himself the cub in
the chimney, smelling its mother, whined
joyfuly at the hole in the door. With a
deep growl the old bear scrambled over

A Homesick Hippototamus.

During Bayard Taylor's visits to the
biological gardens in London, he noticed
hippototamus which lay in ite tank ap-
parently oblivious of it's surroundings.
Entering into conversation with the

the creature refused to eat, and was

He's fine specimen, and it seems a
pity we should lose him; but he's moped
ever since the keeper who had charge Of
him on board the steamer left. He pays
no attention to anything l say"

Taylor, on an impulse. leaned forward.
and addressed it in the dialect used by
the hunters and keepers of that re-
gion. The animal lifted it's head, and
the small eyes opened. Mr.. Taylor re-
peated his remark, when what does Mr..
Hippo do but paddle slowly over to
where he stood! Crossing to the other
side of the tank, the experiment was re-
peated with the same result. the poor
thing showing unmistakable signs OF Joy.

hand OF his new friend.
Mr.. Taylor paid several visits to the
gardens, being always noticed by his
African friend. Finally, before leaving
the city, he taught the keeper the few
sentences he had been in the habit Of
addressing to the hippopotamus, and
went his way.
Two years later he was in London,
and. curious to know the result, again
paid his respects to his amphibious
friend. To his surprise. the creature
recognized his voice at once, and ex-
pressed his Joy by padding from side to
side of his tank after his visitor.
Bayard Taylor says it convinced him
that even hippopotamus may have af-
fections, and tenacious ones at that, as

KISSED HIS MOTHER.

She sat on the porch in the sunshine
AS went down the street
A woman whose hair was silver,
/ But whose face was blossom sweet,
Making me think af a garden,
When, in spite of the frost and snow
OF bleak November weather,
Late. fragrant lilies blow
heard footstep behind me,
And the sound of merry laugh,
And l knew the heart it came from
Would be like comforting staff
the time and hour of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong,
One of the hearts to lean on,
When we think all things go wrong.
i turned at the click of the gate-latch,
And met his manly look;
A face like his gives me pleasure,
Like the page of pleasant book
t told of steadfast purpose,
OF a brave and daring will;
A face with promise in it,
That, God grant, the years fulfill.
He went up the pathway Singing,
| saw the woman's eyes
Grow bright with wordless welcome,
AS the sunshine warns the skies.
''Back again, sweetheart mother,
He cried, and bent to kiss
The loving face that was uplifted
For what some mothers miss.
That boy will do to depend on;
[ hold that this is true
From lads in love with their mothers
Our bravest heroes grew.
Earth's grandest hearts have been lovini
hearts,
Since time the earth began;
And the boy who kisses his mother
Is every inch man.
