DEFENSE IMPREVUE

II y une d5pense de guerre a
laquelle. on donne rarement sa va
leur r6elle. Cest le grand nombre
de personnes 'qui sont enlevees par
la maladie.
D'apres un recent rapport des
pertes anglaises dams la guerre
contre les Beers, il appert que le
nombre des morris est de IA, 729.
De ce nombre 1886 ont 6t6 tues
dams les combats, 1901 sont morris
de leurs pleasures peu apr6s la ba-
taille. 96 ont expire dams les pri-
sons beers, 304 sont morris chez
eux Oh lis ava1ent etc renvoy6s,
298 ont etc tues par accident ct les
869S qui restent sont morris de ma
ladie. Pas moins de IT'S sont au
nombre des disparus.
Plus de 1000 ont 6t6 renvoy6s
dams leurs foyers, s'ils ne sont pas
morris lis resteront infrmes pen
dant toute 1eur vie.
Si nous r6unissons toutes les
pertes nous arrlvons q un total de
$4,000 hommes qui ont 6te enlev6s
q la force industrielle de la nation.
Cette guerre est certainement la
plus conteuse que PAngleterre ait
soutenue. Mais on ne reconnaft ja-
mais les plus grandes pertes ct il
est vraiment diMcile de les estimer.
ST nous calculons le produit que
ces $1,000 hommes auraient rap
porte dams Pindustrie ct que nous
l'ajoutlons aux pertes don't on de-
ia fait le calcul, nous verrons que
les chiffres d6ja donn@s sont bien
en-dessous de la v6rit6.
lie montant complet du compte
de boucher de lAngleterre ne sera
iamais connu. Ellie d6ja pave
$750,000,000 en- or pour un guerre
dun an ct demi avec les Boers ct
dit s'attendfe a apayer encore un bill
lion avant den avoir fni. Mais
quelque chose qu'elle fasse, ellie ne
paiera jama1s toutle compte ct ce
dernier ne pourra jamais etre esti-
me justement.

Explosion Damages n Building and Slightly
Injuries Five Men. .ll..s
The sentilator on the spike mill Of
the Diamond State Steel Co. was dam
aged and five men slightly injured yes.
terday week by rhe explosion of gas
which had accumulated in the yenti-
lator.
The men hurt are: John Myers Of

Supple OF No. 500 South Townsend
street; Robert Scarbor, of No. Sol Lon,-
bard street William Spence of No. 6lo

are trivial, and consist Of slight cuta.
The most severely hurt was Myers, who
sustained a laceration that required
three STITCHES to close 1t He was at
tended by DIR. George W. X. Forrest.
In order to permit the gases that are
formed 10 the handling of iron and
steel to escape, the spike mill has q
roof constructed so that part Of it is
much higher than the other, with open
ings for the gases TO pass through. The
mill is on the South Wilmington side
OF the plant During the afternoon a
quantity OF the gas accumulated in the
yentilatof, and when spark assembled
there was an explosion. Workmen were
in all parts of the mill at the time, and
when the loud explosion occurred the
men scattered in all directions. Por-
lions Of the material forming the yenti
lator came tumbling through the air
into the mill. Tbs workmen named
were struck by this debris. About 10
feet of the ventilator was wrecked by
the force Of the exploding gases, but
the damage will not be great.
Word WAS sent to the Phoenix ambu-
lance BY some person who imagined
that several had been killed. Tho work.
men were attended at the mill, and
then went to their homes.

Makes Hair
Grow

Perhaps your mother had
thin hair, but that is no reason
why you must go through life
with half-starved hair. Ifyou
want long, thick hair, feed it.
Feed 1t with Ayers Hair Vigor,
the only genuine hair food you
can buy.
Your hair will grow thick
and long, and will be soft and
glossy.
Ayers Hair vigor always
restores color to gray hair; it
keeps the scalp clean and
healthy, and stops falling of
the hair.

CHlLn-WlpoWS OF INDIA.



Interesting Lecture by srrs. AbbIe saeil
Burneii. M
3 Mrs. Abbie Suell Burnell, who was
for several years missionary In India,
lectured on the customs OF the people
OF India at the y. NJ. O. A. yesterday
week and Central Presbyterian
Church last evening. She said;
The children Of India are clothed
with brass iewelTy rather than with
garments Of cloth. They run wild,
with little or no attention. At the age
of IL Hindu girl becomes q wonssn
aud then her liberty ceases. They can
neither read, write nor sew, being
taught only TO cook little, and they
spend their time blacking their eye
brows, dying their finger nails red and
decorating themselves with ieweiry.
Ia India the wealth OF MAJ is gagged
by the amount OF jegs.ry lie layishes
upon the women Of his family. When
girl is born the first question is whom
shall she marry. Every high caste girl
must te Welded at IL and to o man OF
her caste aud her horoscope He may
be comparatively young, middle aged
or old, immoral, diseased or brutal; it
makes no difference II his caste and
horoscope agree With hers. A woman
in India is perfectly helpless She IS
generally married at s 1r 8, but does
not become member OF her husbands
family until she Is II. II lit should
chance that her husband dis before
that time she becomes a child widow,
the most despised OF creatures. A curse
is believed TO be upon her and if she
goes the ordinary course she commits
suicide in desperation. There are ~, 600
chi.d-widows under 8 years OF age in
India. There Is NO wooiDg or being won
In India. Every girl over ~ is q wife
or widow. There the mother in law
reigns supreme She rules with a nigh
hand and a rod of iron. THs Hindu
who dies without sob believes he
loses eternal life.''
Mrs. Burnell talked Of the work OF
the Christian missionaries and the op-
position to them. American dolls,
given as prizes in the Christian schools
and American fine tooth combs, the
importance Of which you must visit
India to realize, are doing more to
Christianize India than nytning else, =
she said.
