of our meeting and in the eyes that were
raised to mine dispelled all such long

Presently q little hand was placed
over mine, and the touch of it thrilled
me as no amount of admiration had ever
done before.
It'd only be for two days after all,
and it wouldn't hurt no one, all said and
done, and it would make me the happiest

what you want-tell me, little one, for

like that.
"She had not released my hand and
now she pressed it tenderly. Perhaps
we made a strange looking picture, but
there was no thought in either of ou
minds of anything like sordid realities.

sought their answer in mine, and as she
spoke she had half risen in her bed and
could see the quick rise and fall of her

"She didn't die" murmured Jack.
"Oh! | say, old man, you didn't let

BABY MARRIAGES IN INDIA.
Infant Widows Consigned to Life of Self
Modification.

A Bengal contemporary seems to have
unearthed some curious figures buried
deep underneath the tones of the latest
census report. According to this there
are 535 widows in Bengal under l wear;
that is, so many infants of from / month
to IL months had been married in the
province and found widowed. 1t would
be interesting to know the respective
ages of the husbands of these hapless lit
tie creatures Not a few of the hus-
bands might be found old enough to be
their great-grandfathers. with perhaps
several wives to each. Were all of them
kulin marriages?
Under , years we find the number of
widows in Bengal TO be 574; under 3
years, G51; under years, 1876; under
. years, 1861. Here we have something
like holocaust, a sort of burning alive
Of these little mites of humanity, who,
but for the prevalence of q rigid sex
monopoly, would probably live to be true
wives and truly happy mothers-the
mothers of future heroes and patriots.

A New Story About Sedan.

TO commemorate the heroic but hope

battle of Sedan Il monument is to be
erected on the spot where the division of
Gen. Marguerite melted away under the
fire OF the German infantry and artillery.
NJ. Emile Guillaume, the sculptor, has
undertaken the work. and the monument
will be erected by public subscription.
At the request of Gen. De Galliffet Gen.
Faverot, who was in the last charge,
wrote his recollections of it, One would
imagine that little or nothing new could
be told TO the world about the battle of
Sedan, but the general gives some details
which are noteworthy. Among them
there is one episode which eScaped the
pencils of the painters of battle pictures.

1880 about 360 plants had been set tc
work, varying in size from 4 horse IL

of experience, being about 5000 horse

Many facts. including the Niagara

turbine. and in the last five years the
need of large power in central power STA

engineers to new uses of steam. A year
ago in England about 800 turbo plants
had been sold. with an aggregate of 200,
