MoHAMMEDANs IN INDIA.

The animosity between the Moham-
 medans and Hindus, the friction at
 the points where their prejudices are
 most opposed, have by no means
 diminished latterly. This may be
 attributed partly to increased facilities
 of communication, which enables each
 community to correspond with other
 coreligionists, to compare notes, and to
 circulate grievances or to concert
 action. Moreover the sphere of Islam
 is not. like that of Hinduism, confined
 to India; and our Mohamhomedan
 subjects are now much more closely
 connected than formerly with the
 religious centres of Western Asia. It
 has been said however, that the causes
 of this animosity, which has recently
 been shown in violent disputes over
 COW killing, are not in reality so much
 religious as political-that the Hindus,
 who are much more numerous, look forward to predominance in all State departments and in all representative
 bodies, while the Mohammedans deeply
 and justly resent any such possible subordination. The Ayra Samaj, al-
 ready mentioned, carries high the flag of advancing Hinduism in politics as well as in religion and it's missionary
 ardor has brought the party into con- troversy with Northern Islam.
 We have to remember that the Maratha conquests of the eighteenth century represented g. great rising of
 Hindus against Mohammedan gover-
 nors, so that the tradition of rulership
 exists on both sides But it is an old saying among Oriental statesmen that government and religion are twins" which is interpreted to mean that
 rulership is intimately bound up with
 the protection of every faith professed by the subjects. And the British Indian government, which is perhaps the only government in the world out side America, that practices complete | religious neutrality, has very strictly
 kept, since 1858, the pledge then given by the Queens proclamation declaring | it to be "our royal will and pleasure that none be molested or disturbed by reason of their religious faith or ob- servances, but that all shall alike en- l joy equal and impartial protection of | the law."-Nineteenth Century.

 Skirts of the sort pictured below are fashionably right in it. Swagger dress CTS are already wearing them, and all women who make any attempt at styl- ishness will soon be following their lead.

THE CHARACTER IN THE PITCH
 OF VOICES


 Some time ago, in letter from Atlantic City, I described recent dis covery by John W. Keely, the motor man, of Philadelphia, who claims that each individual has key or tone which must harmonize with those of the people around him in order to insure a peaceful and a happy life. T. H. Brand, of Chicago, writes me that this is not a new discovery, that in his occupation of voice building he learned this fact many years ago, and always ascertains the individual key of each pupil before he gives the first lesson.
 Tt is fact" MT. Brand says, that human beings are individualized or made known to each other by the pitch of their voices, Just the same as the tone of an E-f1at cornet or any other musical instrument enables people to identify the instrument with which the sound is produced It will be found that persons whose voices are pitched in the key of e are of social nature, and their whole makeup is amiable ID voices indicate hopefulness and cheerfulness; 'E' indicates a sanguine temperament. Those whose voices are pitched in F. are earnest and sincere; those in 'G are egostistical and dom- ineering; those in A are fretful ner- vous and pathetic, while those in B are timid and apprehensive and lack confidence and self-control. The semi tones are similarly distributed, but we give the diatonic scale as sample. With this key any one can judge of the qualifications and the disposition of those with whom he comes in con- tact.-From The Chicago Record.

The war was source of great profit to the marine underwriters. On some long voyage boats a rate of ten per cent. was made for war risks. The fig- ures given show that the underwriters will come out nearly a million dollars to the good. An innovation was intro- duced in the shape of bombardment risks, but the idea did not meet with general favor.

The Rev. M. M. Parkhurst, who has lived in the Philippines for many years, says that when a couple wish to be married in the Philippines they must first pay fee of e6, or s30, to the priest, who otherwise will not marry them. As native rarely earns more than s5 in month, he seldom has the necessary marriage fee, so that com- mon law marriages are the frequent re- suit. The baptismal fee he says, is $25, and the death fee is $60 for an adult and $10 for an infant. A poll tax of $25 for each man and $15 for each wo- man is collected and when man builds a house he must pay S10 for having the chimney blessed.

A letter in the Manufacturers Rec- ord from Charlotte, North Carolina, says that the southern cotton mills are beginning to produce the finer class of goods. "The change" says the corre- spondent, from the coarser to the finer grades is really the feature of southern mill news to-day. While we hear of no new mills being built just now, there are daily reports of old mills putting in new machinery for the manufacture of the finer numbers Dealers in ma- chinery note the new demand. Some 5000 bales of long staple cotton have been bought for use in making finer fabrics Diversification of product is also a growing feature. We learn that "the batting, hosiery, towel, webbing and sashcord factories of Charlotte are doing prosperous business. This field is being constantly developed, and the newest addition is a factory for the manufacture of ladies' cotton vests"

With the first day of the new cen tury the ancient Austrian coin, the kreutzer, will drop officially out of cir culation, after currency of something like four hundred years. It is retired in accordance with the convention es- tablishing a copper currency of equal value for all parts of the empire. It used to be circulated freely in north as well as south Germany, but for the last quarter of a century has not gone beyond the Austrian frontier.

her. II is said that during the five hours
the regiment spent at the Communipaw
depot this morning. many of the men got
an over sufciency of liquor. When they
reached the American Line pier. the de-
sire for more liquor led to the running of
the guard at the dock entrance, ana in

lleutenants struggled down to the pier

QUESTION OF HOURS.
Expec,ei That Spain Will Sign the Protocol
by Today.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Associated
Press bulletin from Madrid announcing
that the Spanish cabinet had approved
the peace protocol ana that the French
ambassador would receive instructions to
sign it. was very gratifying to the adj
ministration.
It is confidently expected that the sig
natures will be affixed to the document
tomorrow, and Immediately thereafter
both governments will begin carrying out
its provisions.
The first will be the cessation of hos
tilities, followed Immediately by the occu-
patton of Manila by Gen. Merritt and the
United States troops under his command
the occupation of San Juan in Porto Rico
by Gen. Miles and the evacuation of that
island by the Spanish forces.
1t is believed that there will be delay in
the evacuation of Havana, Matanzas and
other Spanish strongholds in CUBA, as
some difficulties are anticipated in ar
ranging for proper form of government
of Cuba and because there is no desire
to hurry American troops into the island
before cooler weather.
Up to midnight the President had re-
ceived no official communication as to the
action of the Spanish government. but it
was stated by those who saw him. to-
| night, that he was very eXpec;ant that
this was the last day of the war.
The French embassy has as yet received
no communication from Madrid authoriz-
ing NJ. Cambon to sign the protocol, but
the secretaries of the embassy left word
on retiring to be called if any message
was received, and it will be Immediately
| translated.
| There is good authority for the state
ment that Sec. Day will be at the head of
the peace negotiations. and that two
United States senators will be members
of it. Senator Allison of Iowa. and Sena-
tor German of Maryland have been
prominently mentioned for places on the
commission, and it is known that they
have been under consideration by the
| President.
1t is not believed that the members of
the commission can complete its work in
time to cause an extra session of Com
gress to consider legislation which the
treaty of peace will necessitate although
there is a prospect that an extra session
of the Senate may be called in Novembe,
TO consider the treaty of peace.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs w. Il. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-lt is with
pleasure that add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves OF your val.
liable medicine.
After the birth OF my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhGa badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in
paper. sent at once for a bottle Of
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds Of
the bottle felt SO much better that l
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
~ think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers. and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.
