PLAGUE OF MONKEYS.
INDIA IS BEING ovERRUN WITH
THEM.
TO KIN ono Is q Serious OTenso. often
Made Punishable by imprisonment
and Not seldom ~ the Extreme
Penalty.

The monkey slaughter question has,
It appears, assumed a serious aspect
just now, says the Lahore Tribune.
It has caused considerable excitement
among orthodox Hindoos not only In
Orissa and Bengal, but as far as the
news has travelled. We seriously warn
the authorities against this iniudicious
proposal Of the Puri city fathers, lest
the question should lead to some seri-
u consequences. The religious feel
ings Of orthodox Hindoos, who form
the majority in India, cannot be
triaed with In this manner, and the
lessons Of the Benares riots should
not be thrown away. We are against
this slaughter more for the mainten-
ance Of peace and order than for any
thing else. The massacre of Quadru-
mana itself is a far uglier nuisance
than all the mischief committed by
monkeys put together. 1t may be,
however, that these so-palled ancestors
Of humanity are giving a good deal
Of trouble at Puri; but where do they
not? Most Of the principal seats OF
Hindoo pilgrimage are literally col
onized by these restless brutes, but
are they not tolerated from time inn
memorial and has there ever been such
a crusade against them? II It Is SO
difficult to put up with them any
longer at Puri cannot they be ban
ished from the town rather than
killed? There are villages in Bengal
where these wicked creatures some
times do considerable harm to viii
layers, who, by the way, instead Of
having them swept out Of existence,
catch the leader Of the party, with q
process known to every child in Ben
gal, and, painting his face hideously
hold a mirror before his eyes--the viii
lage chaps making a soaring noise
with accomplishments Of dhols and
cymbals-with the result that, fol-
lowed precipitately by the whole
party, the heroic captain beats a hasty
retreat, never to return to the village
again in his life. It. would be far
better to have these mischief makers
deported to some distant parts than
endangering public peace by shocking
the religious feelings of the pilgrims
by such an, Ii their view, inhuman
action. AS many as fifteen out of the
twenty-one Pundits consulted at Puri
are averse to slaughter, and the re-
naming six dwindle down to a Mi
%croscopic minority against the mass
of Pundit opinion supporting ortho-
doxy in this country. On the other
hand, almost all the English and YER
nacular newspapers in Bengal, Behar
and Orissa are strongly protesting. AS
to the Puri Commissioners and their
'airs Of absolutism" the Indian Mir
ror, in a leading article, invites the
immediate interference of govern
ment. "It is" says onE@Contemporary,
THE orthodox Hind0cAc RGt have made
Puri, and as they have made it so can
they mar It. . . " The time may have
come for the Intervention of Sir John
WOODBURY. in settlement of this ques-
ton Of monkey slaughter at Puri."
And surely the time has come.

SWELL HATS AND HATPINs
Earrings Are Now Being Used for tn,
Latter.

Latter.
The hats this year are more expen.
sive than they have been for a great
many years. The reason for this Ii
that the materials used are very ex.
pensive, says Harper's Bazaar. Russian
sable, and of the finest skins that car
be had, is considered none too good
for an everyday toque or turban
These hats are apparently very simple
but the trimmings are of the costliest
materials. There is generally a knot
of lace either at the side or on the
crown, and this lace is Of the most ex.
pensive quality.
The expense of these hats has intro.
duced another extravaganza, daily
gaining in favor-the jeweled hatpins
These hatpins are shown in great va
riety for presents this year, and many
Of them are very beautiful. In the
dark purple hats are used the tur.
quoise surrounded with diamonds, OF
an amethyst set in an open setting OF
deep in dull gold. The diamond
crowns, stars and ~crescents look well
on the velvet hats, and are, of course
very largely initiated in the rhine
stones and cut steel. Then there are
exquisite and most expensive hatpins
made Of pearls in all sorts of designs
Just at present the heart shape is ex-
tremely fashionable. Opals surround
ed with diamonds are also fashion
able, and a very effective pin is made
Of IN %extra-sized opal surrounded with
small colored stones, the whole pin in
a star shape.
Earrings are now being reset fol
hatpins. The old-fashioned earrings OF
the jewels set round with diamonds
or the cameo or intaglios set in this
same fashion, make very beautiful hat
pins. Besides these regular hatpins
there must be the small pin to fasten
the veil-or, rather. the pins, for by
rights there should be one on the front
Of the hat to hold on the fullness, and
one at the back to fasten the ends OF
the veil.

HYPNoTIsM FoR pRuMKARpe:
Said TO Have Been Used Successfully In

Said TO Have Been Used Successfully In
the Cure Of Alcoholism.
From the New York Journal: Hyp-
notism is now being used in the treat
ment for the cure Of alcoholism. DR..
Rybakow, a German physician, who is
a specialist in this line and who has
tried hypnotism on many Of his pa
tents, declares that alcoholics are very
susceptible to hypnotism and subject
themselves to the hypnotic influence
much more readily than many other
patients. The favorable effect of the
treatment shows itself in the improve
ment of the subjective symptoms. the
disappearance of the depression, of the
apathy and, finally, in the complete
loss Of the thirst for alcohol. Some
times one sitting sufices not only to
overcome the desire for the habituaI
potion, but also to break off an acute
attack. BY repeating the sittings one
may at times delay the patients cray
ings; the intervals, however, vary. de-
pending entirely upon individual char
acteristics. Complete cure by hypno-
tism, according to the experience of
DR.. Rybakow, Is seldom obtained; re-
lapses also are proportionately fire.
quent. However, other physicians re-
port instances Of complete cure by
hypnotism. The duration of the treat
ment depends especially upon the de-
gree Of degeneration; the milder the
degeneration the most positive and
lasting the cure.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.



A woman with the blues Is a very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition Of the mind known as
d" the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs Of
generation.
It is a source Of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of win and determination win
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
business in women. These troubles arc
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice Is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman Of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. +. s. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAB Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for owe two years with falling.
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me TO
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
II am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than 1
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is n so kind and willing to
aid you"

men have been benefited by it

The word "livery" Is OF French orr
gin, derived from the verb 'livrer." to
deliver" In ancieat times the French
king made a practice Of delivering to
his servants particular clothes which
were called "1ivrees," because given al
the kings expense. In like manner the
nobility and gentry gave their servants
liveries, and various colors were adopt
ed to distinguish n mans servants
from another's. The term livery"
once had a wider significance, and de-
noted both the food and clothes OF the
servants, and also the meat and drink
that were served to the guests. The
use Of liveries is very ancient in Eng
land, and the practice Of giving liver
les to servants is noticed In the statutes
Of Richard II. In the time OF Edward
~. the terms Livery and badge
seem to have been Synonymous; the
badges were generally worn on the left
sleeve and engraved with the masters
crest. The ancient custom Of wearing
a badge is still preserved In England.

a JOE on III. RrYan.

While in Denver, recently, Mr.. Bryan
told the following story on himself:
II appears that a Japanese student
Of political economy has been attract
ed to Lincoln, Nebraska, by the pres
ence of Colonel Bryan. The native of
the island empire is greatly taken up
with Bryan and looks upon him as lit
tie less than inspired on all subjects
pertaining to human government. Re
Gently the Jap made a special effort to
express himself in the English Ian
guage, and at the same time convey
his profound admiration for his Ameri-
can friend. Here is what the visitor
wrote:
"HOn. J. w. Bryan: My Patron

and when your lip cracks the people
are cheered."
