A FELLOW FEELING.
Why She Felt Lenient Toward the
Drunkard,

Drunkard.
A great deal depends on the point of
view. A good temperance woman was
led. in very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:
Fer many years was a great suf-
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got SO poor that found could not lie

WOMEN OF INDIA TOLL HARD.
Have to Share in Endless Struggle
for Existence With Men.

In the lower stratum OF Hindu Socl-
ETY. women do not live the life of lux
ury and ease that is common among
the upper classes, says the Calcutta
Statesman. The great masses of small
farmers, artisans and coolies earn
so meager a livelihood that their lives
are merely an endless struggle for
existence in which their wives have
of necessity to do their share.
Not only is this true in the domestic
affairs to which the women must at
tend, but not infrequently they are
called upon to do the work of men,
upon occasions even hiring out to per-
form various tasks, such as hauling a
roller up steep incline, doing noun
tain road repairing work. The team
grasping the tugs fastened to either
side of the huge heavy roller, drag it
along the steep mountain road. While
there workers perform their toilsome
task, oftentimes there are men stand
ing by who far various reasons may
not lend their assistance. One per-
haps is an overseer, another water
seller-a trade in itself-while others
might be perfectly willing to carry
hods. chop wood, or carry burdens
but haul roller? Nay, nay! their
caste would forbid it!
A curious custom obtains among
the Coorgs. When one of them kills
a tiger or panther, he is married
to the dead animal, regardless Of it's
sex. Propped upon a framework of
wood and bamboo, the animal is car
ried in procession and the marriage
ritual is strictly observed. while Law
ish hospitality is dispensed.

Going through the hospitals in our

large proportion of the patients lying
on those snowwhite beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting

lions.
Why should this be the case? Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Ovarian and womb troubles
are certainly on the increase among
the women of this country-they creep
upon them unawares, but every one of
those patients in the hospital beds had
plenty of warning in that bearing

symptoms are indications of an I'M

womb, and if not needed the penalty
has to be paid by a dangerous operation.
