CAVE-DWELLERS IN CHINA.
4 Large Number Have Been Found
on the Hill Slopes Along the
Yellow River.

The fact has escaped attention I'M
I'll recently that there are many cave
1wellers along a part of the Hoang Ho
or Yellow river. 1t happens that they
are found on that part of the river
where the bridge on the railroad
which is to connect Picking with Han
kow on the Yangtse is to be built;
and Mr.. August Slosse, a Belgian en-
gineer who lived among them for six
months while making studies for the
railroad in that region, has been tell
ing some facts about the troglodytes,
reports the New York Sun.
Along the bank of the river the peo-
pie live in clay huts, but higher up,
among the hills, only short distance
from the stream, they make for them
selves permanent habitations dug in
the hillsides. There are many villages
of these caves, not only the habitations,
but also the temples, the shops and
the storehouses for grain being moth
ing more than these dark artificial
caves.
Many of the caves are nearly as
spacious as the smaller New York
flats. They are about nine feet high,
ten to twelve feet in width, and have
a depth of so to 60 feet. They are dark
and gloomy abodes, but the people
who live in them think they are much
preferable to the clay huts in which
their neighbors live on the river bank.
No adornment of the interior is at
tempted, excepting in the temples,
whose walls are whitewashed and COW
cred with rude paintings, in lively col
ors, that, under the bright light which
is constantly burning, gives these
sacred rooms quite a gaudy appear
ance.
The only particular advantage the
underground rooms seem to have IS
that they are cool in summer and
warm in winter. The inhabitants are
gentle and even timid, and Mr.. Slosse
said that being unaccustomed to see
ing whites, they almost invariably dis
appeared into their caves when they
saw any of his party approaching 1t
was curious to see them at a distance
working in their little fields
above or below their dwellings,
only to find not a soul in sight
upon nearer approach. They would
all mysteriously sink into the
ground and apparently there were no
human beings for mile around,
though undoubtedly there were thou
sands of the trOglodytes in their bur
rows listening at their doors for the
footballs of the intruding strangers.

PRETTY GIRLS AT DISCOUNT.
They Are Seldom Selected as EN-
plOyes in the Large Stores
of Great City.

Although all girls desire to be
handsome and those not favored with
the gift are constantly bemoaning
their fate, the plain girl has her COM
pensations. One of them is the abil-
ity to procure employment if she
needs it., while her friend, more cap
tivating in person and manner, is
turned away. One very attractive
girl applied at a large establishment
recently, where she had understood
help was needed, reports the Chicago
Chronicle.
81 fear it will be impossible to
make place for you behind our
counters" said the appointment clerk
with evident regret in his tone.
And yet 1 understood that you
needed additional saleswomen to
meet the rush of the early summer
shopping" she murmured. Il can
furnish the best of references as to
my ability and character. Oh, dearl
This is the fifth place in which have
sought employment to-day, but there
seems to be nothing for me in all
New York"
you're a cold blooded PROPOSE
ton" indignantly exclaimed a friend
of the appointment clerk as the pref
ty girl left the store with eyes swim
ming and mouth a-tremble. "You
told me yesterday you were shy at
least a dozen good saleswomen."
80 1 did," returned the other,
calmly.
"Wen, then, why didn't you give
that poor girl a show? Certainly her
beauty ought to be recommended
ton in itself"
"Her beauty?"repeated theappoint-
ment clerk with a smile. "Well, it was
wholly on that account that 1 refused
to give her a place. 1t is also the
only reason, no doubt, that she did
not succeed in obtaining employment
elsewhere.
"This is the golden era of the plain
girl in big establishments of this
kind, and her pretty sisters have to
step aside and find employment as
typewriters, stenographers or places
in Offices where men mostly obtain.
Not that just a trace-mind you,
only trace-of loneliness in a sales
woman renders her totally imprac-
ticable, rather that is to be desired
at times, but uncompromisiug beauty
is absolutely too attractive, both to
its possessor and beholder, to further
the interests of department stores"

lNDICTING A WHOLE PEOPLE.
The ImperiaIist Ants Attempt What
Burke Declared Impossible.
Chicago Inter Ocean

Chicago Inter Ocean
Charles Francis Adams, Carl Schurz,
Edwin Burritt Smith, Moorfield Story and
and Herbert Welsh, in their open letter to
the President, declare their conviction
that practically every American soldier IN
the Philippines has murdered, wounded
or committed some other heinous crime
Had they appended a muster roll Of the
Philippine army, their charge would have
been specific, but not more sweeping
Such specification they absolutely avoid
shall we say prudently? Instead they &C
cuse the army as a whole, and virtually
declare guilty every soldier who does not
come into court and affirmatively prove
his innocence They say
In this communication we have made
references the personal application of
which is obvious To those referred to
the courts of military inquiry are open.
Before such courts we hold ourselves pre-
pared to substantlate any or all charges
here advanced.
Edmund Burke, upon well-known &C.
casion, set forth the insane cruelty of at
tempting to frame an indictment against a
whole people. Upon task from which
the genious of Burke and the malignity of
George III alike recoiled, Adams, Schurz,
Smith, Story and Welsh enter with light
heart. They refuse to furnish a bill OF
particulars. They do not name the
alleged offenders. They ask, in effect,
that the alleged offenders rame them
selves, under penalty of being adjudged
guilty in mass.
We know not what attention the Presi-
dent will pay to the Adams Schurz-Smith
Story-Welsh letter. 1t deserves nothing
but contempt, for it is an attempt to
indict whole people, and to hold all
guilty who do not disprove the charge.

"And when he said the laboring man
was spending $35,OOO,OOO more on his
wife's dresses than he did IN 1896 you
whooped at the top of your voice and
yelled that it was a fact"
81 did. But why?"
"Why? Well, there's why enough.
Where's that $5OO,OOO,OOO you've been
making every year that haven't seen?
Where's that $4O,OOO,OOO worth of
suits? Where are you wearing them?
Who are you dressing up and sneak
ing around to show off your new
clothes to, and ashamed to let your
poor wife see them. And which wife
are you buying $35,OOO,OOO worth of
dresses for every year, and what fam
lily is getting that 100000, 900 worth OF
groceries? William, are you Nor
mon? You've got whole lot of ex-
planning to do, sir"
"Why, woman, them was just statis-
tics"
statistics, nothing. Didn't he, say
the laboring man was getting all that
money? And didn't you, and you
alone, get up in your seat and testify
to everything he said? Didn't you
stand there before all those people and
act as if you could account for all them
millions of dollars?"
"He was just"
"And YOU come home from the fac
tory two months ago and told me you
only got your wages raised a dollar
on the week! And here I find out
that you have been getting a bigger
salary than this man thatruns the steel

It's a pretty state of affairs when

GUARDING CASTE IN ENGLAND.
Elaborate PrecautiOn Taken by the
Maharajnh of Jaipur While
Absent from Home.

To persons interested to any eX-
tent in the matter, who have kept
themselves, however slightly IN
touch with the religious, social and
other changes going on in India, the
details of the jealous and elaborate
precautions taken to safeguard the
caste of the maharajah of Jaipur
during his absence from home on
the loval errand he has undertaken
to fulfill in connection with the APP
preaching coronation, will come as
somewhat of surprise, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. 1t may also he
that such surprise may not be UNI
mingled with a sort of admiration
for a faithfuIness to the doctrine of
perpetuity so exemplary and so en-
inent even in a land which is char
acteristically a stronghold Of con-
servatism. The circumstance is re-
called, by force of contrast, of the
gleeful and spontaneous assurance
given to his friends four or five
years ago by a native publicist Oh a
mission to this country, as one
among other symptoms of progress
in India, chat caste was going to
pieces" His opinion was all the
more valid because he himself was a
member Of that bluest-of-the-blue
section of the highest caste, known
as Kuhn Brahmans, and he had
therefore more to lose than others
by the adaptations of an order in
which his ancestors must have had
the most exalted titular distinction
for nearly thousand years.
A specious objection to the pre-
cautions in question is founded on
the circumstance that caste is ca
pable of recovery as well as forfeit
ture, that his highness might on
certain terms be reinstated in his
religious and other privileges. In the
face of such a conditional but prac-
ticable reconciliation and recovery
it has seemed strange that the ma
haraiah should have preferred to
have his whole period of absence
from India hampered, fretted and al
most embittered by restrictions, for
the transgression of which he might,
on his return, have commanded a
retrospective dispensation. But, con-
sideration Of piety apart, it would
not be wonderful if the maharajah or
any other orthodox Hindoo shrank
from an ordeal of reconciliation
which is credited with involving pen
ances Of an intolerable ignominy
and responsiveness. A few years ago
it was known in certain sections of
temple society that young zamin-
dar of Bengal, who, after having
studied law and been called to the
bar in London, returned to India,
was in due course required to per-
form the disciplinary ceremonies
necessary to reconcile himself to his
caste community. On the eve of the
day when he was about to have be-
gun the series of penances and eX-
piations which were to qualify him
for restoration he was found
drowned in his tanl-a pool, or lake
not without suspicion of suicide, as
seeming to present the only honor
able way of evading the disgusting
and degrading particulars of the or
deal of rehabilitation.

why Rats Ar. Safe in India.

Although the famine over the great
er part of Rajputana, Gujerat, and the
Central Indian states, is less wide
spread than hitherto, there will never
theless be much suffering during the
next few months, and 100000 people
are already on government relief
works. The rats have to a large ex-
tent disappeared, but have destroyed
q considerable portion of the cotton
crop. The inhabitants of Gujerat are
convinced that the rats are reincar-
nations of their friends who died in
the last famine. and it is for this
reason that the British officials
have found it impossible to get any
assistance in destroying the pests

In considering the advisabili;y drumming
candidates for Congress this fall one of the
chief questions to be considered is the
effect it would have in getting our voters
to register. OF course where there is an
actual contest for seat in Congress the
voters will come out and register where
they would not think of doing so if there
is no contest. 1t is very important that
our voters should be registered and 1t
seems to us that the best way to get them
registered is to have an exciting political
contest.-Spirt OF The Valley.
