FATE OF HINDU GIRLS.
Rajputs in Nepaul Cause Their Daugh-

Rajputs in Nepaul Cause Their Daugh-
 ters to be Murdered.
 A Capuchin monk engaged in mis- sionary work in Nepaul, writing of Hin du family life, remarks that it is very difficult for parents to make advanta- geous matches for their daughters. The Hndus therefore ind means for ridding themselves of too many daugh- ters by murdering them. It is we'll known fact that Hindus of high birth, those who are called Rajputs, caused their daughters to be put to death after their birth by men specially engaged to do so. This criminal cnstom had be- come so general that in 1S40 in the sev- enty-three villages of the Allahabad district there were only three girls un- der twelve years of age, and three years later in the town of Afra there was not one to be found under that age. All had been put to death.
 The English government has very naturally passed severe laws against this abominable crime, but to evade them the Hindus alloN;their giflsesto'

MEDICAL PRACTICE OF sAvAGEs.


 The medical practice of savages is rather a fascinating subject for persons gifted with imagination, except, unfor-
 tunately, the class that ought to feel special interest in it. Many doctors, no
 doubt have imagination enough, and some, perhaps, observe the methods or their "native" confreres; but it is not easy to come across one of that kind. Tn general they ignore all remedies which are not entered in books, and smile-sometimes impatiently-when old residents tell them of cures effected by a local practitioner hung with charms, or an ancient negress. But European science was not a revelation. Even the Greeks collected all they knew by pa tiently observing eases" and writing
 down the particulars from age to age,
 as We know by the testimony of the records found some years ago in eXpor
 ing the Temple Hospital at Epidaurus.
 Michelet declares f1atly, in his renowned
 book, La Sorciere,' that the modern principles of medicine and surgery were
 discovered by the witches. They first
 practised anatomy and overthrow the superstitious reverence for Galen and
 Hippocrates; and he cites Paracelsus as
 stating that all the best of his knoWl-
 edge had been gathered from those bel danes. If French and German witches showed such ability, il IS probable, to
 say the least, that their black and brown comrades of the present day have something to teach us And Eng lishmen who know most about them
 hold that opinion decidedly. It is firm ly believed on the gold coast, by men of long experience, that the black doc tors there, women mostly. can cure all the local maladies. They say that when the fever" has reached it's last stage, and the scientific white man hsa withdrawn, there are negresses who can bring the patient round. Hearing this report one naturally asks why so many poor fellows are allowed to die? But l the answer is reasonable. T consult these women myself, said merchant, but how could l summon them to |Hlerk nf mine who was ill?. If he died,-

Each had two Caffres to attend him, who, as soon as they saw what was wrong, sought the herbs necessary, which they crushed between stones And in fortnight all had recovered. Further, a Breton gentleman, who was passenger, had been bitten so terribly by mosquitoes that his legs threatened to mortify. The surgeons at Cape Town declared that nothing could save his life except amputation; but when the Caffres' heard of it they offered to cure him, and did so. Tavernier relates all this as an incident of his voyage;
 he draws no moral or conclusion. In 1885 the government of Cape Colony in- Vited reports from magistrates, traders, missionaries and others, familiar with native habits and ideas, upon various questions. Add these practical author ities agreed that one terrible class of maiadles takes no hold upon the hdiilr population, and several of them gave the reason-the medicine men have remedy which very seldom fails. All the answers were published in blue book and much discussed, Has any doctor or scientific person made inqui- ries about this precious secret? It would be a gold mine to the discoverer if authenticated, but we understand that nobody has taken step in the matter, so far as if known. Putting drugs aside, however, Miss Kingsley ad- mits that the negro has some excellent ideas in the way of treatment. Mas sage is such new thing with us that we have to borrow the French name though, indeed, it is little older on the -contihents ButEfrorne tiY1e Immenorial

HENRY F. JANSWICK.

After an illness of about six months Henry F. Janswick died at his resi- dence 42 Lafayette street, at F o'clock yesterday. A complication of diseases was the cause. Deceased was thirty one years of age at the time of his death. He leaves beside a wife two children to mourn his loss, He had been employed at the New Haven Clock company. The funeral services will be held at the residence on We'd nesday afternoon at 2;30 and the inter- ment will be in Mapledale cemetery.
 MT Janswick was well known in mu- seal circles in the city and state His ability as a sweet-voiced singer was recognized and appreciated by his many admirers, and he will be missed by his large circle of friends.

and his parents learned that I had put him into the hands of a negress, l am not sure they could not prosecute me for manslaughter Anyhow, I should be ruined" Evidently it is so and therefore, unless the sick man himself demand native treatment he remains in charge of the medical officer and surely dies if he becomes comatose.
 The late Mary Kingsley never found "any trace of really valuable drug in all the herbal remedies of these people" the West African negroes-though she freely admits that they have methods of treatment which prove very useful" But if the lady were qualified to judge, her opportunities must have been limi- ted. Prma facie, 1t would seem extra ordinary if races who have the deep and varied knowledge of poisonous plants, for which all writers give them credit, herself included should not have discovered any heneficent species. Travellers of former day gave another report; they did not carry medicine chests, and when seriously i'll they were dependent on the native doctors. A "common Sangalla' relieved Bruce of dysentery. by administering the pound- ed root of shrub; further, Bruce in troduced the remedy to England on his return. Taverner gives a striking &C., couht of the skill of the .Hottentots Nineteen men aboard the vessel in which he reached Cape Town were very i'll of fever, scurvy, ulcers and wounds Four trusted themselves to the Dutch doctors, and of these we hear nothing.
