the accompaniment Drinking in Bengal.
picture shows The natives drink in
this manner at all times. but on fes-
tive occasions they split up into par
ties and compete one against the other.
The reason why the grOg is served
through hole in this manner is be-
cause the hard and fast law of cast
does not allow a man of one caste to
touch anything that man of differ
ent caste has handled. The pot, which
contains about three quarts, is first
held quite close to the mouth, though
not coming into actual contact with
it; and then. taking his finger away,
the server allows the grog to flow into
the mans mouth, raising the pot high
er and higher in order to put a head
on the liquor. Often the distance be-
tween the jar and the drinkers mouth
is three feet or four feet.

The Bishops RetOrt.

Many years ago two bishops were
entertained by a hostess. who. after
dinner. caused to be handed to them
a box of cigars. The first bishop con-
sidered smoking a device Of the evil
one With scant civility he declined
the proffered cigar, and, with more
force than politeness, denounced the
villainOus habit of smoking. The
other bishop, being a lover of the
weed, contrived to reprOve his rev.
erend brothers narrOw-mindednes by
putting to him the following ques-
ton: Now, which do you think is
most to be condemned. the use or the
abuse Of thing?" The other prompt
ly replied: THE abuse of course."
Then" responded the genial bishop,
you see that use tobacco. while you
abuse it,"

CHINESE BABY WEIR

The baby tower here illustrated
emphasizes the much talked of cruelty
Of the Chinese. Here a very large per
country are consigned to die. These
towers are found in many parts of
China, but nowhere else in larger
numbers than in Fukien province,
where this picture was taken. 1t has
been estimated that from % to 40 per
cent, in some sections, of all the fe-
male babies born are put to death.
There is no law against infanticide,
at least none that is enforced. al
though there is sort of maxim that
reward will be meted out to all who
preserve the lives of their daughters.
This reward lies in the kindness and
love the daughters show in after life
to their parents, for it is true that the
love and affection of the sons in
China is not to be compared to that
of the daughters.
There are different methods of dis
posing OF infants. Some are drowned
but the favorite way seems to be to
take them to the tower situated out
side the city and place them on the
window sill near the top, where they
will be pushed in by the next conner
In years past it has not been an I'M
common sight TO see babies bodies
floating in the river In spite of the
prevalence of infanticide there are
many Chinese who never DESTROY their
children. In fact, when residing in
households, they often place sort of
life preserver about children's bodies
to protect them in case they fall into
the water, as they often do
Poverty is one of the chief excuses
given by those who allow their in
fants to perish in the tower. They say
if they reared them to womanhood

Queer Monument

Mrs. Susie Bartlett is buried near
Atlanta. Ca, and has one Of the
queerest monuments ever erected. Her
husband is a confederate veteran and
lives near his wife's burial place. Ev-
cry day he visits it and takes some
new ornament to lay on the pile OF
articles which have accumulated over
the grave in the last five years. Brok-
en- china and glassware of every de-
scription form the strange monument.
Relics of household goods in the
shape of broken dishes, lamp shades,
chimneys, mirrors, pitchers, cups,
glasses, bottles-all these ornament
Mrs. Bartlett's grave.
