promptings of a heart full of the milk
OF human kindness. The woman of thi.
disposition makes no effort to watch
out for the happiness of others. but
It is lust as natural for her to do
these things which make life pleasant
as 1t is for the ordinary woman to sit
and wait for others to do things for
her.
The secret of this woman's success in
being such a comfort is that she is
thoroughly unselfish Self always
comes last with her. She never thinks
OF the personal effort she must make
to achieve some things if 1t is neces-
sary that such things should be done
for another's comfort She never
thlnks that she receives no reward for
her acts, but keeps on steadily dolrg
Ior others. She is content to stay be-
hind the scenes when some social af-
fair is going on in order to see that
nothing happens to mar the good time
She works diligently to prepare some
one else for a vacation trip and does
not sigh that she is not to be a par
ticipant in the pleasure.
she is the woman who at a picinc
sees that everyone else is supplied with
lunch and is content with a bite or two
for herself. She is the woman who
Knows how to put up just such lunches
as the picnickers are sure to like, and
she does all this as if there were no
question of anyone doing it. She is
the woman who is only too willing to
supply the table with all the dainties
which individual members of the fami-
~ desire counting not the effort it
must cost her to bring this about.
In fact, she is the woman who does
whatever Is to be done, and the beauty
of 1t all is her supreme unconscious
ness that she is doing anything. She
IS not very often to be found amorg
the young women and almost never
among women who are longing for d
career, for the latter have time to
think anly of their own self-advance-
ment and the former find themselves
too interesting to pay very much at
tention to others, but she is found
among the middle-aged women who
nave family whose wants are always
very much in evidence and she is the
blessing of the household.
The education of the Brahman widow
is new movement on foot in Mysore.
for which the Bombay Gazette be-
speaks the support of Anglo-Indians.
The plague, says that journal has
greatly augmented the ranks of this
unfortunate section of society, and
while the influence of caste remains as
strong as it now is, the lot of the Hin
doc widow can scarcely be ameliorated
The only remedy is in the education
of the sufferers, and an excellent COM
mencement has already been made in
Mysore in this direction. Provision for
the education of Branman widows was
considerable time ago made by Mar
asim 1Vengar, who opened a home for
them This home was eventually hand
ed tn the Ma ni'c CirIEt COL
lege, and there for a number of years
there have existed facilities for the in
struction of forty Brahman widows. 1t
is an encouraging sign of the times
that eight of the lady teachers employ
! ed in the Maharanfs College are Brah-
man widows trained in that Institution.
In quite a number of other educa-
tional institutions Brahmen widows
have been given the post of head mis-
treSs. In all twenty-one women have
thus been given an honorable status
in society, and by means of scholar
ships and in various other ways wild
ows in Mysore are being given an OPP
portunity of educating and eleVating
themselves. But there is still much
to be done, and the Mysore Standard
suggests the organization of a body Of
female sanyasis who, like Pandta
Konsidi, the idol of Kalidasa, would
QeNOle their llNeS 10 the Teaching OIL
| religion, and therein find a bent for
their devotional feelings. The Mysore
paper appeals to her highness the Ma
harani-regent of Mysore for assistance
in the Inauguration of such move
ment.-London Daily News.
Horror of bding buried alive is COM
mon to the whole human race, and
from time immemorial experiments
have been in progress with the view of
making such terrible fate impossible.
Some physicians maintain that salts
factory tests can also be made by the
use of the Roentgen rays, but it is not
everyone who has the facilities for
making such tests, whereas anyone can
make a test on the plan devised by DR..
Icard, a physician of Marseilles,
France. The doctor uses fiuroescin.
the well-known coloring material, and
his experiments have proved so sue
cessful that they have won for him the
approval of the French Academy OF
| Sciences. Fluorescin injected into the
human body, produces absolutely no
| effect if the body is dead, whereas it
produces most surprising effect if the
body is alive. DR.. Heard uses solution
of it which is so strong that a single
| gramme is able to color 10000 quarts
| of water.
| If little of this solution is injected
under the skin of a living person in
| two minutes the skin and especially
the mucous membranes, will become
much discolored. and the person Will
| present the appearance of one suffer-
! ing from an acute attack of jaundice.
| Moreover, the eyes will become or
greenish color and the pupils will al
/ most become invisible. These symp-
| toms will remain for one or possibly
two hours and then will gradually dis
appear. Since fluorescin produces this
effect on a living body 1t naturally fol-
lows. according to DR.. Icard, that any
body on which it produces no erect
| must be dead.
Mary was smiling when she came
home in the evening. says the Era
Magazine.

"Wel" he mother greeted her. I'm
