BABY MARRIAGES IN INDIA.

A Bengal contemporary seems to have

underneath the tones of the latest census
report According to this there are 535
widows In Bengal under one year: that Is,
so many infants Of from one month to
eleven months had been married in the
province and found widowed. It would be
interesting to know the respective ages of
the husbands of these hapless little crea-
lures. Not few of the husbands might
be found old enough to be their great

which has not one word to say for itself!

THE INSTINCT TO CHEW.
Need for Jaw Exercise is a Powerful
Human Desire,
From the Lancet.


Seeing that the maxillary apparatus of
man has for long ages past been put to
vigorous use 1t Is not surprising that the
need to exercise 1t should express itself
as powerful instinct This instinct mani
tests itself in many and curious ways
During the early months of life the nat

vides the infants jaws. tongue and lips

bottle-fed children seeking to satisfy the
natural instinct by sucking their thumb.

The teeth are provision for biting hard
foods, but even before they actually an
pear we hnd the child seeking to exercise
his toothless gums on any hard substance
he can lay hold of, and there can be no
doubt that exercise of this kind tends TO
facilitate the eruption of the teeth, truth,
indeed. recognized universally, whether by
the primitive mother who strings the tooth
of some wild animal round the neck of
her infant. or the up-to-date parent who
provides her child with a bejeweled ivory
or coral bauble.
When the teeth have erupted the masti-
catory instinct finds among primitive peo-
pies ABUNDANT satisfaction In the chewing
OF the coarse hard foods which constitute
their dietary; but among us mOderns SUBJ

NEW FAD OF COLLECTORS.
Revived Interest in Old Pieces Of
Sheffield-Their Scarcity

From the New York Tribune.
There Is a fad just now for old Sheffield
plate. and most people buy it because 1t Is
fashionable. They are confident of Its rar-
ity and value, but do not know just how
rare and valuable 1t may be. Connoisseurs,
on the other hand, search for pieces of
long past era whose wealth of plate has
dwindleC to odd pieces here and there, diff
cult to procure and as valuable as they are
rare. Fortunately for these, the marks on
Sheffield plate-after the first few centuries
of it's existence-became SO pronounced that
they are easily recognizable, and in addi-
ton to the stamp, certain patterns ana de-
signs are peculiar to certain centuries. and
enable the collector to determine with GER
tainty the period to which any specimen of
Sheffield plate belongs.
The beautiful cups, for instance. which
were made in what is known the egg and
tongue moldng, with bands of engraved
foliage, are the product of Elizabeth's
reign. Salvers Of the time of Queen Anne
proclaim themselves by their shape and
feet, and by the abundance of exquisite
chasing wrought upon them In connection
with engraving. George III seems to have
had less apprecia ton of decorative art than
his predecessors, for in his reign Sheffield
trays are plain of marks. decorated only
with beaded edges.
Birmingham plate is often COMPOUNDED
with that of Sheffield, and is practically the
guished by the stamp, the Birmingham
mark being an anchor, instead of crown
set in an octagon-the Sheffield brand. All
old Sheffield ware is stamped, and Is more
valuable than modern silver, although some
of it is alleged with copper.
Collectors complain that secular Sheffield
plate of a date earlier than the reign of
Henry VII is very scarce. 1t is plate of the
century beginning with the reign of Henry
VII and ending in 1856 which furnishes the
sideboards of today with their choicest
specimens. These pieces are. however, not
at all numerous, owing to the destructive
influences at work during the conflict OF
the Roundheads and Cavaliers. when own
ers of beautiful plate ruthlessly melted 1t
down to obtain the wherewithal for the
conduct of the war. But still more de-
structive to plate were the requirements OF
king and parliament in subsequent CEN
fury and the proclamation of William ILL.,
at the end of the seventeenth century. Of
fering a premium for hall-marked silver
Incredible as 1t appears, great numbers OF
people readily parted with plate of the
greatest artistic value. and scarcely less
astonishing is the enormous sacrifice of sill
verware made a century later to satisfy
whim for splendid dinner services in the
fashion Of the day. This destruction was
due to the fact that no new supply of silver
ore was available, such as had once poured
into England from Spanish America and
had furnished the celebrated silversmiths OF
that age with tons of metal

A Beautiful Story.

When Lolita Armour was all bound
up in plaster casts, after the big and IA
nous surgeon from Vienna, DR.. Lorenz,
had operated on her for hip joint disease,
she received one day package inscribed
on the back: From a little boy whose
leg is crippled" In the package was a
small dolly, common as to quality, but
handsome and good, as all dollies are in
the eyes of little girls. And the dolly so
strangely coming to her proved to be
quite favorite with Lolita, whose moth
er opened a correspondence with the
mother of the little boy who had sent it.
Their letters to each other brought out
the facts that the little boy was suffer
ing from a disease similar to Lolita's, and
that the mother of the little girl was
anxious that the small boy should have
the attention of the great surgeon at her
expense, since his own parents were poor.
And so it was arranged that Dr. Lorenz
should see and treat him. That was
months ago. A few days ago the little
boy, Alvin Black by name. was dis
charged from the hospital fully cured and
with his legs as nimble and strong as
those of any other six-year-oid boy. And
there was no happier boy in America than
little Alvin was when he ran and skipped
on the streets. Mrs. Armour's daughter
also recovered.

harm than is done by mischievous errors.
The true remedy is in more vigorous
propagation of the truth. We believe
that religious activity in its better and
more helpful forms is becoming more in
tense in our State. The value of godli-
ness has not been lost sight of among
us. The higher life of the spirit con
tinues to attract men in spite of the al
lurements of wealth and worldly power
The latter do not so affect us as others
because of natural conditions Our citi-
zens see no chance to become President"
and comparatively poor chance to be-
come rich. We have more time than 9th
ers 10 think of our souls and of the life
to follow this. There are among us many
men who have not much else to take
pride in who yet have well defined re
ligious faith and are able to render rea-
son for the faith they hold. Who will
say that theirs is not the saner and better
life? When the fitful fever of life is over,
who will have more to show?
