The Power OF Prejudice.

The wife of New Zealand mission
ary once had an interview with a ma
tive matron, who confessed that she
would die with shame at the idea of
permitting her boy to run about with
an undressed FACET e., with cheeks
free from tattoo marks. The attempt
to save native youngsters from the
martyrdom OF the absurd custom
caused repeated riots and disagreeable
scenes with the indignant relatives,
and with a similar emphasis the east
ern Hindoos protest against the abol-
ishment Of infant marriages.
In Calcutta alone the indignation
meeting Of the priests was attended by
$4,000 natives, including hundreds Of
rajahs, merchant princes and scholars,
besides tradesmen and peasants. The
women OF Bengal observed a general
fast on the day Of protest." shrieks
and howls filed the air. The population
Of several cities seemed to have gone
crazy en- masse. One fanatic offered
to sacrifice his life to propitiate the
wrath Of heaven.

he never mistakes personalities and
sharp sayings for arguments. Most Of
mankind do. When grief, illness or

he takes with heroic philosophy be-
