A Capuchin monk engaged IN mis-
sionary work IN Nepaul. writing OF
Hindoo family life, remarks that II is
very difficult for parents TO make adj
vantageous matches for their daugh-
tiers. The Hindoos therefore find a
means of Kidding themselves of too
many daughters by numbering them.
1t IS n well known fact that Hindoos
of high birth. those who are called
rajpoots. caused their daughters 10 be
put To death after their birth by men
specially engaged TO do so. This Grim
inal custom had become so general
that In 1910 In the seventy-three viii
lagos OF the Allahabad district there
were only three girls under twelve
years OF age. and three years later in
the town OF Agra 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 Hindoos allow their girls 10
live until the age OF twelve. after
which they do away with them by adj
ministering poison In small doses.
Orientals are past masters in the art
OF poisoning. and after some minute
inquiries II transpres that in many
districts twenty-five out of every hun

We notice ia Detroit paper the
assertion thqt the upper peninsula has
three candidates in the field for one Of
the new positions on the supreme
bench of the state, Judge j. II. Steere
of Sault Ste Marie, Judge John W.
Stone of Marquette, and ex. Attorney
General H. NJ. Oren OF Sault Ste.
Marie. This will be news to most
people on this side Of the straits, al
though each of the three men named
would be warranted in aspiring to
supreme bench honors and all of them
would do honor TO the state in that
capacity. The copper country has a
peculiar interest in Judge Stone, who
was called to the bench Of the Mar
quette circuit from Houghton where
he was a member of one of the leading
legal firms of the copper country, "A
firm which has furnished three circuit
judges and supreme court justice for
the upper peninsula. John w. Stone
stands among the very first in the
ranks of thecircuit judges of the state I;
he has tie requisite knowledge of the
law TO make him learned judge to
gether with years If experience Of
men and their ways to make him a
wise Judge. The Mining Gazette
doubts that he would leave his circuit
TO acce, position on the supreme
bench inasmuch as he is the best paid
circuit judge in the state today and
knows full we'll that he will hold his
position for life if he 30 desires, but
il he decides to enter the race from
this peninsula he can rely upon the
friendship of his old neighbors in the
copper country and no hat will be
thrown higher in his honor than that

CONSERVATION was caused in state
circles this week by the announcement
that Atty General Blair had recon-
mended TO Governor Bliss the removal
of Tax Commissioners Freeman and
Sayers. The caase OF this was the
fling in tie Federal courts mt Grand
Rapids of afiidavits made by the two
commissioners stating that the property
of the state had not been assessed
on its true cash value. The afiidavits
in question were filed in the case
brought for the state by the attorney
general to sustain the validity OF the
tax and assist Auditor General Powers
In his efforts TO collect them. Mr..
Powers had been restrained by an in
junction issued out of the federal court
from the collection OF these taxes.
The State Republican says on tni:
matter:
"The board OF assessors at first fixed
the rate for assessment OF railroads on
the basis OF an estimated total valua
ton Of the state. Later, the supreme
court decided that the board had nc
power to make an estimate Of the tota
valuation. but must take as basis
the aggregate OF valuations returned
b., assessing officers. The railroads ar,
fighting the new assessment, ON III,
ground that they are assessed at casi
value whereas other property Of the
state Ii not.

Once upon a time there was spend
thrift who made his father very un-
happy through his profllgate habits.

spend every penny that You get. and
1t must cease. Remember that the
pennies make shillings and the shil-
lings make pounds. III you do not
change your habits Of always spend
ing TO habits OF judicious saving. will
not spare the rod.
The admonition had no good effect on
the youth, and he continued 10 spend
the pennies before they could accu-
mulate into shillings.
His father spoke no more about the
matter. but he applied the rod most
vigorously to him until he howled with
pain.

FROG FAMINE in TRENTON.
Scarcity of the Del1cacy in New Jer-
sey City Owing to Recent
Floods.

Trenton, N. j., is in the grip of a
frog famine" as result of the recent
flood. There is probably no other city,
OF the size of Trenton that consumes A.
many frogs legs in the run of tie
year. They are always on hand in tie.
restaurants and hotels, and aristocratte
families are supplied directly from the
hunters, who command especially hieh
prices for their game.
The demand has been Of gradual
growth, and is no doubt due to the faet4
that the city Is surrounded by places
where frogs breed prolidcally. Therear
streams, creeks, marshes, ponds, pools
and the low-lying banks of the Deb
ware river-all productive of frogs.
A few years ago boys hunted frogs
and sold them for a few cents apiece.
The people acquired an appetite for
frogs legs that they cannot shake or!
and now when they are obliged to Day,
$3.50 pound for them they do so with !
out grumbling. A number Of men have,
made a living in the hunting.
When the recent food swept throusln
the Delaware valley the marshes /
creeks, streams and pools were secured
out and the frogs and their feeding
grounds were destroyed.

When the Roussillon party arrived 1t
attracted condensed attention. Its i'm

the assembled popular mind, was en-

to the nth poverty the gown of Alice.
1t was Respondent indeed in the SIM
pie, unaccustomed eyes upon which it
flashed with a buff silken glory Ma
irons stared at it, maidens gazed with
fascinated and Jealous vision, men
young and old let their eyes take full
liberty. 1t was as if queen, arrayed
in robe Of state, had entered that
dingy log edifice, an apparition Of daz-
cling and awe inspiring beauty. The
dancers swung together and stopped in
confusion. But she, fortified by q
woman's strongest bulwark, the sense
Of resplendency, appeared quite uncon-
scious of herself.
Little Adrienne, hanging in bllssful
delight upon Rene's strong arm, felt
the stir Of excitement and wondered
what was the matter, being too short to
see over the heads of those around her.
"What is it? What is it," she cried,
t1ptoeing and Juggling at her compan-
ions sleeve. Tell me, Rene; tell me, I
say"
Rene was gazing in dumb admiration
into which there swept a powerful
anger, like breath Of fame. He recol-
