Lesson in Political Economy.

Those good folks who are 50 prone to
grumble and croak over women's eX-
travagance in dress and the deplorable
waste of money spent on costly mate
rials and beautiful costumes will, it is
to be hoped, see matters in slightly
different light through the medium of
Miss Hamilton's will. This lady was a
well-known dressmaller of England.
and dealt with the kind of materials
and dresses which these foolish persons
call extravaganza. Yet at her death the
other day five hospitals benefited to the
extent of 100000 1t is a little curious
to think that this muniticent bequest
was made out of the proceeds of wom-
ems so-called extravaganza in dress,
and as a practical lesson in political
economy it certainly deserves atten-
ton.

into Mrs. Collins hands is that which
comes under the general head of mis-
directed"
This means letters which are wrongly
addressed or those which bear an illegi-
BILE direction.
1t is curious to note that there were
received during last year 29O9S letters
which bore no address whatever The
general appearance of these envelopes,
as well as the nature of the contents,
indicates that by far the greater por-
ton of these errors of omission were
not made by casual and infrequent
users of the mails, but were the result
of haste and want of deliberation by
persons more or less completely alb
sorbed in business.
Money orders, checks and bank notes
are frequently mailed without the
seuders name and address within. and
in an envelope with no address what
ever. After making every effort TO dis
cover the owners of these. the United
States treasury finds itself the richer
annually by $4,000 from this source.
Letters bearing imperfect directions
come directly to Mrs. Collins, who has
become so expert in her work that
there is seldom anything too blind"
for her to read. When it is remembered
how many foreigners who are totally
unaccustomed to the language write
in it, and how many illiterate who are
able to do little more than to make
their mark, use the mails, one is not
surprised at the great number Of let
ters which come into this department,
But these are not the worst people
Mrs. Collins has to deal with. The
writer of the ultra fashionable hand
gives her. as a rule. more trouble than
the illiterate or the foreiguer.-St.

ARE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
WESTERN CANADA.

W. r., Milburn, John Holmes, NJ. r.
Dagger, L. l.. Stetson, of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to its situa-
bility for farming, and the advantages
it offers to the agricultural immigrant
from the United States: 1--WE came here
solely to look up improved farms and, if
suitable, to select such as pleased Us
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts at all, though we believe
them to be very inviting. Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Deloraine and towards
the Souris River in Manitoba. Our i'm
pressions of all that region are in every
way satisfactory, and we have decided
to go back to Iowa at once, and, having
disposed of our several interests there,
to return to Manitoba in the month of
March next, and, effecting our purchase
of improved farms, which we find we
can do at reasonable rates, Immediately
begin farming. We are greatly pleased
with all that we have seen in that part
of Western Canada. The soil we find
to be more than eTual to that of our
own country for wheat-growing, and
the other conditions of climate, schools,
markets, ETC., are all that we could wish
for.
"To show what an energetic man can
do we may mention that we found one
such at Hartney who had rented farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds of the
returns as his share of the crop. When
he came to sell his own produce he
found that his two-thirds, when con-
verted into cash, was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and out, which he
accordingly did, and is now its owner.
1t is our intention to induce as many of
our friends as possible, who are prac-
tical farmers, to remove from Iowa to
this country, where we believe there is
better future for the industrious man
| than is now to be found anywhere on
this continent. We are well known in
our part of the State of Iowa, and we
invite correspondence from its resi-
dents in all parts with regard to this
region of Western Canada which we
have visited, and to which we intend to
return"

SAVED FROM SUTTEE.
How a Hindoo Woman. Now in Amer
ica, Escaped from Horrible
Heathen Sacrifice.

Mrs Rance LalroS, a woman between
so and 55, arrived in Chicago recently
from India, via Yokohama and San
Francisco, with her husband. Mrs.
Lalros' husband is a Eurasian from
Lahore, and a Christian, but the wom-
an is stanch Hindoo who refuses to
be converted. and has brought with her
from her native Benares a copper
statuette of the goddess SILVA, which
she worships at leisure, while her hus-
band may be attending services in the
nearest Episcopal church. They toll
crate each other and live happily to-
gether with their three beautiful
daughters, two of whom are of their
fathers creed, while the third, the
youngest, is a devout worshiper of SILVA
and Ganeesha.
Mrs. Lalros has history that is most
interesting, for she was about to be-
come a victim to the terrible suffice of
her caste when rescued by the man who
afterward became her husband. As is
the custom in India Rance Khud, while
still toddling child, was af1ianced to
the son of a friend and neighbor. At
the age of II, just on the eve of the
children's marriage, the youth of 13
who was to be the bridegroom died,
and. according to the irrevocable laws
of her caste, she was doomed to be
burned on the funeral pyre on the
banks of the sacred river Jumna, over
from the city of Benares. As Lalros
had much to do with what followed,

story:
''It was little before the Seroy
mutiny of 1857, and |, the son of II Euro
pean father. was guiding a detachment
of the First Bengal cavalry through the
iungles to Benares. While concealed in
the bush waiting for sunrise we saw
the dead youth carried down to the wa
ter's edge on a bamboo stretcher. and,
judging from the sort of crowd that
had assembled, we were about TO wit
ness a suttee. The body was covered
over with a green silk robe-for he was
high-class Brahmin--and placed on
n pile of resinous sandal-wood logs.
Then the cloth was removed, the bier
placed on the pyre, with the feet to-
ward the Jumna, six logs were laid on
the body, and all was ready for the
widow.
Led by a relative, Rance walked
slowly down the bank to play her
tragic part in the ceremony, covered
| with a flowing robe of white. a Brah-
min priest stood at the head of the
| bodv-the scene is before me now as
if it We're but yesterday-and he di-
rected the proceedings in the coolest
manner possible. Taking the rod pre-
sented her by the Brahmin in her right
! hand Rance walked three times round

why the He'd Was Rough.

Archbishop Temple, of England, on
one occasion stayed all night at the
residence of a clergyman whose wife
was absent. On leaving, the host po-
1itely expressed the hope that when
next his lordship honored the house
Mrs. Temple would accompany him.
"No. thanks" said the archbishop,
shortly. Mrs. Temple doesn't like to
rough it," The clergyman's feelings
were deeply hurt and he complained to
his wife on her return. surely, you
didn't put the bishop in the pink bed
room?" she cried. The clergyman ad-
mtted that he did. "Oh, then, that's
it! | put all the silver in the bed. No
wonder he called it rough.'

Good Taste in Dressing.

Wear as few bands as possible at or
near the waist, and in all cases wear
them as far below the waist line as pos
sible with comfort. Make drawers with
as little fuilness at the top as possible.
and always make them on a carefully
fitted yoke, says Woman's World. If
YOU wear a chemise or corset cover have
it fit smoothly, and use no sort of frilly
trimmings that will show their i'm
print through a closely fitted bodice
Make them as elaborate as you please,
but let all trimmings be fiat, using
lace rather than embroidery. If you
wear a short under-pctticoat of flannel
or other material, make with a fitted
yoke that drops well over the hips and
abdomen, keeping all fullness-b both at
top and bOttom-at the back. The ton
petticoat should be fitted with the
same precision as the skirt to your very
best gown, and should always be worn
well below the waist in front and on the
hips.
