THE GIRLS OF kAsHMtR.
Why They Are Not as Beautiful ai
They Once We're.

Why They Are Not as Beautiful as
Sf They Once Were.
The girls of Kashnir in former times
were sold and carried away to the
Punjab, in India. They commanded a
large price, and parents in moderate
circumstances for centuries past have
been i'll the habit of parting with their
daughters to place themselves in easier
circumstances, and the daughters have
generally been quite willing to escape
from life of penury and labor to one
of opulence and ease.
A laboring man in this part of India
cannot earn over 81 or So a month,
while many receive for their daughters
as high as $1,000. There are some cases
where $1,000 was paid, but the usual
price has been from $1O0 to $500.
The practice became so common as
well as so damaging that a severe law
was enacted prohibiting any one from
removing any woman from the coun-
try, but it is said that the business
goes on now as it has done for hun
dreds of years, and to that practice
may be charged the fact that the wo-
men of Kashmif are not as beautiful
as they once were.
The process of taking all the beauti-
full girls away. leaving only the ordi-
nary and ugly ones to continue the
race has lowered the standard of beau
ty. Most of the women and girls per-
form field labor as much as the men,
and their dress is of the coarsest and
plainest materials. consisting of gar
ment like nightgown made of white
cotton. There is no effort to have it fit.
The condition of women in Kashmir
ista very sad one. but one from which
there does not seem to be any present
escape. It is constant struggle to
live, without the least hope of any ac-
emulation or of ever seeing better
days.
The men only receive about 5 cents q
day and the women generally about 9
cents. and that will provide only the
ccarsest food.-Philadelph Inquirer.

There are many useful purposes to
which rosin can be applied outside of
those of general practice. AS a non
conductor of heat it is used in the pro-
lection of water pipes, particularly in
crossing bridges, where the pipe is laid
in the middle of a long box and the
whole filled with melted rosin. Rosin
is also used in supporting basement
floors in machine shops, which may be
laid over some dry material, as spent
molding sand, which is carefully lev
eled off, and the planking laid upon
temporary supports separating it about
two inches above the sand.
Numerous holes about two inches In
diameter being bored through these
planks, melted rosin is forced through
them by means of tunnels until the
whole space is solidly filed. and then
the upper flooring is laid upon these
planks. In case the floor is subjected
to shocks sufficient to break the rosin
it rapidly joins together again in much
the same manner as the regulation OF

CURES FOR TOOTHACHE.
Remedies That Do Not Appeal to the
Ordinary Man Today.


The man in dental anguish some
times curses with Burns 'the venomed
stang that shoots his tortured gums
alang." Sometimes, on the other hand,
he prays. ST. Augustine in his "Con-
fessions'' relates how he once suffered
from "dolor dentiun" foothache), ap-
parently in an aggravated form, for
he could not speak. Thereupon he
wrote on wax prayer to God for the
other brethren to repeat, and as soon
as all were on their knees the pain
went. but what painv' he says.
"Never since my tender age had l ex-
perienced the like" Southey in his
"Life of John Wesley" tells of that
eminent preacher that when his own
tooth ached he prayed and the pain
left him.
Unfortunately ordinary men do not
| seem to have such efficacious faith.
When the excruciation begins, they
must bear it philosophically, and on
Shakespeare's authority toothache
| finds out just the weak place in the
philosophers armor of patience. In
the middle ages the devout who were
racked with pain had q special patron
to whom they could call for deliver

the emperor Philip, among other
cruel indignities had her teeth pulled
out. In consequence she became tooth

yet another martyr, st. Blaize, who
took cognizance of the disease. He was
honored i'll the little town of st. Bla.
zey, in Cornwall. where candles of
fered upon his altar were supposed to
be an infallible cure for toothache.-

SAYINGS OF ROOSEVELT.

President Roosevelt has been MAX
ing a number of speeches lately and
has said lots of things that will be
heartily approved by the people. He
has the faculty of putting a good
deal in few words Here are some
of the sentences from speeches de-
ivered during his New England tour:
1.-The country districts are those in
which we are surest to find the old
American spirit"
"a man to be a good citizen must
first be good bread winner, a good
husband, a good father"
1.-THE man who lives simply, and
justly, and honorably, whether rich
or poor, is good citizen"
1.-THE forces which make these farm
bred boys leaders of men are still at
work in the country districts"
I'm the long run the only kind of
help that really avails us is the help
which teaches a man to help him
self"
almost all of our great presidents
have been brought up in the country,
and most of them worked hard on the
FARMS
Hardness of heart is dreadful
quality, but it is doubtful whether in
the long run it works more damage
than softness of the head"
Material prosperity without the
moral lift toward righteousness
means diminished capacity for hap
piness and debased character"
"We live in an era when the best
results can only be achieved, if to in
dividual self help we add the mental
self help which comes by combine
tion.'
"The man on the farm, more than
any other of our citizens, to-day Is
called upon continually to exercise
the qualities we like to think of as
typical of the United States"
1.-THE true line of cleavage lies be-
tween the good citizen and the bad
citizen, and the line of cleavage may,
and often does, run at right angles
to that which divides the rich and
the poor"

There is nothing political in the re-
view of trade made by r. G. Dun, but
no better argument is made for the
republican party than these weekly
reviews. In every one of them there
is something like this, which was the
review of trade and industrial condi-
tions for last week: STEADY prog
ress is reported in trade and indus
try. Distribution of merchandise is
heavy and a healthy tone is evident.
Prices are well maintained~by liberal
consumption, which more than neu-
tralizes the effect of enlarged facili-
ties for production. Domestic con-
ditions continue much better than
those existing abroad, and home
trade receives more attention than
foreign commerce. Farm products
have appreciated in value owing to
less favorable weather, and pro-
ducers will be fully compensated for
any decrease in quantity by the high
er quotations"
