babies In India.

Babies cry very little in India-they
obey spiritual law as flower. The
lotos bud, lying on Il stone bench In
dirty room. sucks its toe and seems

1t feels the religious awe around 1t and
does not break out into boisterous
sport when all seem at prayer
But there is much love in India and
these humble households seem very
happy. They are all In all to each 9th

society or amusement. Beautiful char
acter comes from obedience to law and
not from lawlessness. In India chill

War.

There is, besides a pleasure in order
q very real fear of disorder. A mob, a
fire or q runaway horse arouses a
sensation of terror in the spectator
quite apart from their potentially of
harm to himself. Mere force is not, as
is supposed, the last argument of man.
A civilized war would have more ter
rors for the stockjobber than the cot
lager were 1t not for the threat of I'M
governed force yelled behind the pune
tilio of Christian fighting. We are
never quite certain of an army. The
disciplined brigade which nowadays
captures the enemy's capital as tender
~ as it would guard it's own has, new
ertheless. the same badges on its but
tons as those which were fouled with
the rape of San Sebastian and the muir
der of BazeilleS. 1t may drown its
manners at any moment in torrent of
blood and tears, and statesmen and
others never forget the fact. War is
but the crust of the volcano. Fires
Of unutterable horror hum beneath.
The very perfection of the discipline
which controls them is evidence of
mans dread of disorder, for it Is only
fear that YIELDS so strongly the furnace
doors.-Blac kw woods.

origin of tho Term PhiIistines.

-
About the year 1890, at Jena, where
the west gate of the city is remark
able for four images of monkey heads,
cut In stone at each corner of the gate,
a quarrel arose between the students
of the university and the citizens, dur
ing which. the gownsmen called the
gate watchmen monkey watchmen."
To avenge this insult the watchmen
killed one of the students, whose flu
neral sermon was preached from the
text, ''The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson" From that time the towns
people were called by the. students
"Philistines." and this use of the word
spread to other places.
In another explanation, given as
early rs 1777 by Adelung, reference is
made to the Balistarii, or crossbOw-
men, who were called in Hungary
Philistaei, and to the municipal sol
diers of Vienna, who had the nickname
Philisters as early as the seventeenth
century.
The word was brought into promi-
nent notice in England by Matthew
Arnold, who appears to have adopted 1t
from Heine. BY a Philistine he meant
"a strong, logged, unenlightened OPP
ponent. like Goliath, of the chosen peo-
pie. of the children of sweetness and
light"

The Roman lupettO, which Is almost
indistinguishable from the so called
Pomeranian dog, invariably tries to
bury or cover over any food given him
which he does not like. If fed on a

up the obnoxious food; If the carpet is
nailed down so that he cannot do this
he goes through the exact process with
his nose which would turn over the

Eskimo women wear the most Gu
rious kind of undertaking. its pecul-
iarity being that it is made of the
skins of birds These skins, before be-
ing sewed together, are chewed well
by the women in order to make them
soft. About a hundred skins are re-
ouired to make a shirt, and the labor
of chewing the skins which form their
garments is quite enough TO account
for the massive. well developed jaws
of Eskimo women.

rhe E,clnsirenena of Cnste.

An English officer who some years
ago was wounded in a battle in India
and left lying all night among the ma
tive dead and wounded tells this story:
Next morning we spied man and
an old woman, who came to us with
basket and a pot of water, and TO
every wounded man she gave a piece
of joaree bread from the basket and
a drink from her water pot. TO us she
gave the same, and thanked heaven
and her. But the SOobahdar was a
high caste RajpOOt, and as this woman
was a Chumar or of the lowest caste,
he would receive neither water nor
bread from her. l tried to persuade
him to take it that he might live, but
he said that in our state, with but a
few hours more to linger, what was a
little more or less suffering to us-why
should he give up his fate for such an
object? No; he preferred to die IN
DOlluted."

WAYS OF WINGED MooERs.
Ineidenas illustrating the COmical
Side OF bird Life.


Wooing time brings to the front the
comical side of bird life. and methods
are as varied among our feathered
neighbors as among ourselves. The ex-
tremes of dignified courtship and dis
reputable scrimmage were shown by
two well known birds, when the pres
ence of q rival intensified affairs.
Two purple finches, suitors for the
favor of the same sparrowlike maiden,
placed themselves. ON each side about q
foot from her and offered musical
contest. First one burst into rapturous
song. flying up into the air. feathers
huffed out and snowy breast and rosy
shoulders more lovely than ever. The
solo finished, he dropped back to his
perch and politely waited, while his
rival poured out his madrigal. This
alternate display continued several
minutes, and apparently the umpire
found it hard to choose, for she evaded
decision by taking flight-both suitors
following.
Different was the method of two
orchard orioles, one in the immature
plumage of the second year. the other
in the full glory of maturity. This
was a wrangle, accompanied by scold-
ing and avian vituperation from begin
ming to end. If the theory of selection
by fine dress be true, decision should
have been easy, but after whole
| days trial the fair one ended it by
a truly feminine scorn of theories, elop
ing with her palmer sutton, leaving the
! gorgeous elder TO console himself with
another bride-which he did before the
| sun went down.-Collier'S Weekly.
