Having no individuality apart from
her husband, a woman is practically an
irresponsible creature, except that
should she have the i'll grace to out
live him she is blamed as the cause of
his death, but then the circumstances
are quite beyond her control, since it
is the consequence of some crime of
which she is guilty in former ex.
istence, and therefore must be accept
ed as her fate in her present life.
She takes no part in public worship,
and they say that serving a husband
is the wife's religion, for that to worship
the husband is to worship the gods
She only takes part in such ceremonies
as relate to her position as wife and
mother.
In recognition of the superiority of
the man an Indian woman always sits
on lower seat than her husband. She
walks at a respectful distance behind
him, and never presumes to eat with
him. always preparing his food and
waiting upon him while he eats it. be-
fore she gives any thought to her own
meal 1t is not thought correct for a
woman to utter her husbands name.
The laws of 1indooism teach that a
woman must at no period of her life
do anything according to her own pleas
urc, since in childhood she is dependent
upon her father, in youth on her hus-
band, and in widowhood on her sons,
or, should she have no sons, on the liins-
men of her deceased husband, or on
other male relatives, and failing all
such relatives she becomes dependent
upon the rajah."
Mohammed wrote: "Afen shall have
the prominence above women, because
of those advantages wherein God hath
caused the former to excel the latter"
In view of all this the struggle of our
own women for her rights has
somewhat humorous side to the un-
prcjudiced oniooker-Cincinnati En-

WOMEN IN THE ORIENT.
Among the HindOos They Have No
Interest in Heaven and Very Lit
tie in Earthly Things

The Mohammedan peasant woman is
spared all the jealousy and misery of
sharing her title of wife with others,
since her husband cannot afford to in
dulge in polygamy, though a Moham-
medan of the better class may indulge
in as many as four wives at time,
but it is not supposed to exceed that
number. However, he can have Just as
many wives in his lifetime as he pleases,
since he may resort to divorce on the
smallest pretext, and as frequently as
he chooses.
A Hindoo is generally supposed to
have but one wife, but should she bear
him no son within seven years he may
take another; also for other reasons,
sometimes the most trivial. The high
est rank of the Hindoos are privileged
to take as many wives as they like,
and, since each wife brings him a good
dowry, one of these aristocrats will
wed as many as 100 wives, sometimes
marrying all the eligible members of
one family, and even engaging himself
to 20 brides in one day.
In addition to the work of the house
hold the woman always engages in
some remunerative employment, such
as picking, cleaning, spinning or weav-
ing cotton, in company with others, or
she makes vermicelli, weaves baskets,
manufactures fans, or embroiders
chaddars and caps with silk, in her own
home.
Her costume varies according to her
religion, race and rank, and so nu-
merous and minute are the differences
in dress that in the case of man even
his occupation may be known by his
clothing.
Women of all ranks make great dis
play of jewelry, the rich wearing gold
and precious stones, and the poor either
silver or some manufactured material
of little value. Numberless rings adorn
the ears, nose, fingers and toes. a

Moths Routed by Perfume.

1t has become known to the wise
ones that the destructive moth despses
the pleasant fragrance of perfumes.
For this reason the pungent and dis
agreeable remedy is not always neces-
sary to rid wardrobes and closets of the
ruinous insect. The mixture which is
said to work this magical result is pre-
pared as follows. Take one ounce each
of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, caraway
seed, mace and tonka beans, pound to
powder and mix them with six ounces
OF orris root, which must also be in
powder. These ingredients may be
obtained ready crushed at a druggists.

ONE WIFE SURELY ENOUGH
Why Monogamy Has Come to BE the
Prevailing Matrimonial Prin-
cipIe In This Country.

Margherita Arlina Hamm, the well.known
traveller and author, called when in China
upon the wife, or rather the wives, of a
great mandarin. Her visit partook of the
nature of festival, SO novel was the ex.
perience to the Chinese women, whose lives
are passed almost entirely within the walls
OF their, yamen. They examined her cloth
ing, and were partly pleased and partly as
tonished at it. They were shocked by her
shoes, and especially by the fact that her
feet were not confined by bindings.
Finally one of them said, through the in
terPreter. You can walk and run just as
well as a man"
why, certainly"
Can you ride pony as well as mani"
"Of course"
Then you must be as strong as most

even your husband, would you?"

=, The Chinese woman paused, laughed, and
then SAID: Now understand why foreign
ers never take more than one wife. They are
afraid to."-Philadelphia Post.

WEEDS GOOD TO EAT.
In Europe Many of Them Are Con sid
cred DeIicncies and Used
Rare FIayorings.

Go out on any farm and see the farm
er hoeing away at the weeds that
threaten to choke his crop. You may
hear him say things that wouldn't
sound nice about the weeds.
The dandelion isn't the only weed
eaten by people who know what's good
to eat. Take wild cherry, the plague
of the farmer. 1t makes one of the fin
est salads served, piquant, tender and
wholesome. Charlock, or wild mustard, +,
is another bane of the farmer. He
doesn't know that as pot herb it can
give a soup a delightful flavor. The
dockweeds-how annoying the whole
family are. Yet the broad leaf variety
and the curly leaf are used all over Eu
rope as table vegetables.
There's pokeweeds, commonest OF
them all. In France it is cultivated. 1t
takes its place with sage, thyme, pars-
ley and bay leaves as a favoring for
soup.
Everybody in America hates a nettlo
and can't see what use it is. In Scot
land, Poland and Germany tender
young nettle leaves are used as greens.
The Germans boil it with other vege-
tables to give them a piquant flavor
Purslane is another weed that can b.,
treated the same way.
Most people think milkweed poison.
Gus. 1t is medicinal vegetable with
delightful flavor all its own. The young
leaves gscn they are in just the right
condition, are a cross between spinach
and asparagus, and in a salad are de-
licious.
Sorrel, fetticus ard chevril are
looked on as field pests by ninety-nine
out of every hundred farmers. The
hundredth one picks the choicest leaves
from these weeds and sends them to
market, where they find a ready sale for
salads to be eaten with game and for
tlavoring herbs-for herbs they are and
not weeds.-N. Y. World.

Pcrfumcd BnIs for Reds

While many a housewife has made it
her habit to lay away the bed linen in
lavender scented closets, it was not
until recently that the perfumed pad
invaded the bed itself. This pad is a
thin quilted affair, which has one layer
of cotton plentifuily besprinkled with
the favorite scent-either rose, laven-
der or violet-in a sachet powder.
From time to time the powder is re-
newed around the edges. The pad is
LAID between the mattress and the lower
sheet. Pillows are also opened at the
corners and sachet powder shaken into
the feathers. Those who are fond of
the smell of pine woods gather pine
needles during the summer and use
them about the wide hens of the pads
and pillows, making special little sacks
for the needles and filling them in

There is new appliance which

JOHN c. HUBINGER-
Remarkable Career of a weu-En suu
Western Capitalist, Manufact.
urer and PhiIan thropist.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John C. Hubinger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without a peer. AS
. manufacturer, as an enterprising cap
italist and as philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr.
Hubinger, although but AZ years o.
age, can look back upon scores of com,
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality Is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course of
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made a
