 dia staggers the imagination. Girls are contracted in marriage between the ages of five and twelve. If by the time they are twelve years of age they are not married. they are considered quite passe. In all cases the arrange ment Is made in business like way, and the couple become acquainted with each other only after the knot is tied.
 If the husband dies. even though the ceremony has just been performed she becomes widow. There are 21.- 100000 such in India today. They can never go home; they become the bond slaves of their husbands parents What do you think Of religious ideals that make such conditions possible?
 The poverty of the country Is ter rible. The condition of the currency Is shown by the fact that the small est and common coin is but one -sixti- eth of an American cent. which is talk en in the collecnen at camp meet ings. Women carry bricKs, l06 pounds in weight at a time. for eleven or twelve hours day at the wages of five cents per day. The result is that when famine comes there Is starvation

NO NATIONAL CONTROL
Of the Insurance Companies Wouls Work for Honesty and ERciency.

Of the Insurance Companies Would
 Work for Honesty and Emclency. Washington Post.
 Assuming that there were no insur- mountable obstacles to national control of the insurance business. it seems per tinent to ask what, in the light of re- cent disclosures, could reasonably be hoped for in the way of improvement from the change? National control spells control by party. This is inevit- able. fixed condition of our plan of government. With slight Interruptions the party now dominant in this Repub- lie has been dominant almost forty-fve years. That it will be dislodged in the near future Is not among the imminent probabilities. And when. if ever, it is called out and another party put in the country will still be governed by 8 party, and every branch of business in the hands of the national government will be controlled by a party
 It has been shown, been proven, ana not denied, that in the last three pres idential campaigns the managers of the successful party obtained large sums of money from the managers of the life insurance company. They may have been the recipients of similar assistance from other life insurance companies. In view Of that fact. we ask, in all seri- ousness, what ground is there for the belief or hope thA the transfer of in surance from State to National control
 which is party control--would be pro- motive of honesty and efficiency in the management of that business9

 This is probably prudent. but is pru- dence enough in such struggle as Is now going on in Philadelphia? Silence gives coasent-to various and widely different things. In Philadelphia .he contest Is between public thieves, plum derers and corruptionists on one side. and honesty and decency on the other. The Republican organization or ma chine has arrayed itself on the side of the thieves Mayor Weaver, who broke away from the ring that elected him, and is making a vigorous fight against them, is supp orted by all the friends of clean politics and good government.

And in this emerg ency the administration, whose head is q great preacher of courage, honesty, decency and strenuosity, is content to be silcnt--to keep hands off " But he permits the patronage of the Federal Government, which, under an agr cement ass santed to by Sena,or Knox before his election, 1t IS said, is wholly in the ha ids of Senator Penrose and his friends, to be used against the side of courage, honesty and decency.

at the Royal Convent of St Antonio, to which they had been given by the In fanta Donna Sanche in 1900. For these carpets, which are of Persian manufac- ture. Is feet square and embroidered with gold, the bidding was very brisk. Starting at fSSS. it rapidly rose to f1,70S. at which price the prize. at f1,00O below its real value, was secured by a Frenchman. Public opinion, however, was so greatly against the sale that two other equally valuable carpets the property of the Estrella Convent. were withdrawn.
 A curious carpet has lately been man ufactured at Caesarea. It Is a repre- sentation of the battle of Trafalgar, depicting that moment in the engage ment when Nelson received his fatal wound The carpet, which Is entirely of silk, Is feet by feet, and it took two girls fourteen months to weave it. It was sold for f400. Another histori- cal event, the capture of Buda from the Turks, in 1886. was the subject of carpet manufactured at the Beauvais factory, established in 1864 for Mime, de Maintenon. wife of Louis XIV.
 Some of the carpets in the possession of Eastern potentates are of similar magnificence and value. In the great exhibition of 1851 an elaborate cash mere carpet was shown by the Mahara- jah Gooiab Singh. It was composed entirely of silk, and every square foot contained no fewer than 10000 knots.

 There are today in India 2l,0OO.OO0 child widows who are the actual slaves of the parents oI their deceas- ed husbands" declared Bishop Cyrus b. Foss in the annual sermon before the Woman's Foreign Missionary So- riety at the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church last night.
 Bishop Foss told of a visit made by him to India seven years ago in the interests of the Methodist missions.
 'I went to Bombay, where l met Bishop Coburn and fifteen of the mis- sionary bishops" he said. II found many results of the worship practiced in that country and the need for Chris tianity. I found hospitals for sick eats, cobras and elephants, which had been established long pesore there was ever a similar institution for human beings, because of the belief in trans migration of souls. The natives thought that in caring for some of the crea- lures named they might DC accidental ly caring for their grandmothers.
