THE GIRLS OF KASHMIR
Why They Are Not As Beautiful As They
Once Were

The girls of Kashnlir in former times
were sold and garfield away TO the
puniab in India. Taey commanded a
large price and parents in moderate
circumstances for celturies past have
been in the habit of lnrting with their
daughters to place themselves In easier
circumstance. and the daughters have
generally bceu quite willing TO escape
from a life Of penury and labor to one
OF opulencc and ease.
A laborlng man in this part Of India
cannot earn over 50 or So a month";
while many receive for,thelr daughters
as high as 81. 600 There are some cases
where 5000 was paid. but the usual
price has been from S10O TO $500.
The practice becames so common as
well as so damaging that 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 rs it has ,done for hun
dreds of years. and to- that practice
may be charged the fact that the wo-
men of Kashmir are not as beautiful
as they once We're.
The process OF taking all the beauti-
ful 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 a gar
ment like a nightgown made of white
cotton. There is no effort 30 have Sc fit.
The condition Of womensin Kashmir
is a very sad one, but one from which
there does not seem to be lany present

live, without the least hope Of any nc
cumulation or OF ever seeing better
/ days.

to dress may feel very SUPERIOR but

II Is not necessary to devote ones en-

not q Is becoming to her. Is a goose
Il may be pretty and it may be styl-
ish. but unless it is becoming, one Is
better on without It.

and dress accordingly. Then will her

The amount Of energy expended in
coughing is very considerable. Indeed
one Of the patient statisticians for
which Germany is renowned has cal
culated that a patient who coughs once
every quarter Of an hour for ten hours
expends energy equivalent to 250 units
of heat, which may be translated as
equivalent to the nourishment con-
tained in three eggs or two glasses of
milk. In normal respiration the air is
expelled from the chest at the rate of
four feet per second, whereas in vio-
lent coughing it may attain a velocity
