1t has caused considerable excitement
among orthodox Hindoos not only in
Orissa and Bengal. but as far US the
news has travelled. We seriously warn
the authorities against this injudicious
proposal Of the Puri city fathers. lest
the question should lead to some seri-
Gus consequences. The religious feel
ings OF orthodox Hindoos, who form
the majority In India. cannot be
trihed 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 far uglier nuisance
than all the mischief committed by
monkeys put together. 1t may be,
however, that these so-called ancestors
Of humanity are giving a good deal
Of trouble at Puri: but where do they

deported to some distant parts than
endangering public peace by shocking
the religious feelings OF the pilgrims

KEEP A CHILD BUSY.
xhs Chief Part In Bringing Up Child v
to MRks Him lndustriouR,


''If. instead of giving the young hon.
ules on vice, and thus directing their
attention constantly to 1t, they were
simply kept busy at some wholesome
work or play every minute, they would
be far more thoroughly helped and
cleansed than would be possible In any
other manner" is the opinion expressed
by Kate Upson Clark In the January
Woman's Home Companion. who
claims that most parents either do
not realize the gravity of this task or
are too lazy or incapable to attend to
1t. For young people work IL worth
all the white ribbon exhortations in
the world, useful as they may some
times be. The first duty of the rich Is
to be industrious and to inculcate hab-
its of industry In their children. II
they are only taught to keep constant
ly busy In some useful and ennobling
employment, the chances of their evo-
luton into honorable men and women
are million times increased. Awaken
their intellectual curiosity. 1t Is the
parent who IL usually best fitted TO
form the early habits of the child, II
he will only take the trouble to do It.
The making OF collections and the
hard study of almost any branch of
natural history are likely to interest
children. The making of machines,
the miracles of music, the manage
ment OF printing press, may be used
to busy children"

receivers OF the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. In order to place the lines
west OF the Ohio river In proper shape
to handle the heavy freight equipment
that Is being used east OF the river
the receivers found 1t necessary to re-
build 81 bridges between Benwood, W.
Va. and Chicago. That the structures
might be rapidly pushed to compile
ton II was decided to divide the work
among three companies. The Youngs-
town Bridge Company OF youngstown
will erect 81 bridges on the Central
Ohio division between the Ohio river
and Newark. Ohio. the Pencoyd Bridge
Works was awarded the IL bridges on
the Lake Erie division. Newark TO
Sandusky. and the Edge Moor Bridge
Company Of Wilmington. Del, will
erect the Q bridges needed on the Chi
