There have been hints of uneasiness
among the Hindoos, and these find
confirmation to a certain extent in the
riotous outbreak at Rawalpindi in the
Punjab section of India. But there
does not appear to be any likelihood
OF serious outbreak or one which the
British authorities, with the loyal ma
tive forces at their disposal cannot
suppress. india is an enormous coun-
try, with 4 dense population, with
many conflicting racial and religious
elements. While the Hindoos form
numerieally probably the larger part
OF the native population the Moham-
medans and others are many millions
In number, and anything like cohesion
in an attempt to drive out the foreign
ers and to overcome British sover-
eighty is wildly improbable, says the
Troy Times; The more intelligent and
progressive of the natives no doubt
realize that TIE protection afforded
by British rule is in reality their po-
lltcal and material salvation.

A Close CORPORATION.


II always knew" remarked an F
street merchant the other day, that
the adjutant generals Office was a
close corporation, but it seems to be
closer than I realized 1t was only
the other day that | had q practical
demonstration of the rigid discipline
that prevails in that Office. I had &C.
casion to send purely innocent mes
sage to the chief of one of the divi-
sions of the Office on a matter of some
Importance to him. By consulting the
directory, found that he had a tele-
phone in his Office, so called up the
war department exchange and asked
to be put in communication with him.
What was my surprise when I was in.
formed that / would have to give my
message to the chief clerk of the Of
flee, and if he thought proper it would
be conveyed to it's destination. AS /
didn't care to ask any faYors of the
chief clerk, who is stranger to me,
concluded that l would choose some
other means of communication. Since
then have learned that no one but the
adjutant general himself is permitted
to use the telephones in the adjutant
generals Office for any business out
side the Office without the permission
of the chief clerk, who submits all
messages in doubt to the decision of
the adjutant general. Not only that,
but the officials and employees are pro-
hibited from seeing visitors or leav-
ing the building during office hours
without first receiving permission
from the adjutant general or his chief
clerk"

Rettino IN Washinnton.

While there is not now a gambling
house in Washington, there is still
some betting, of course. Some sena-
tors and good many representatives
manage to get up some pretty stiff
games in their private homes, but the
stakes are as nothing compared to
those wagered when Washington was
a wide-open town and the sports were
left unmolested. Gambling, and for
large sums, was common in those
days, and especially among southern
and western members. Scores of them
squandered their modest per diem
(then eight dollars only at the gamb-
ling tables, and some impaired their
private fortunes by the same indulg-
ence.

to learn if any alarm had been given.
All was as still within as the black.
ness of the garden wall, and after re.
moving the bulky canvas bags from
his old betrayer's pockets Mr.. Bilks
again entered the kitchen window and
made for the dining room. There
producing his lantern, he carefully
counted the pennies and nickels, alb.
stracted so short time ago from the
| little bank, and silently replaced them
piece by piece.
"Jest a dollar an forty-tree cents"
he growled "An' ter t'ink dat one of
us would sink his manhood, as de mis-
sion guy says, fer dat!"
Then he fumbled in his pockets and
at last produced three shining silver
dollars. "Mebbe de warden frisked it
from some poor devil afore dealin' 1t
out ter me, but so far as Use con-
cerned it's dead honest an I reckon
de bank needs it more'n I does" And
the broad discs went to join their
humble brethren.
With this charitable errand done,
Mr.. Bilks noiselessly retraced his soft
steps and emerged in the moonlight
just as "Hunch" began to show signs
of returning to reason. Come along"
he growled, catching the PROSTATE
form by the collar and dragging him
out to the road. Come along, youse

wend his carefree way homeward to-

Leftover Rnssts.

After roast has served for two
meals there is often meat enough for
another, although not in good shape.
When this is the case cut up the meat,
mince f1ne,a onion, add the gravy if
necessary, slice cold boiled potatoes,
and arrange in baking dish. Set
back on the stove where it will heat
through while you are making a tin
of baking powder biscuit. After cut
ting out your biscuits, instead of put
ting them on a tin, put them on the
top of the meat pie, slip the whole
thing into the oven and bake until the
biscuits are done. Chicken pie can
be made in the same way and can be
served without carving in neat man.

sTUFFINa NEEDLE CUSHIONS.

wool, Cork Dust, Bran or Human Hail
Will Do.
Fortunate does that woman consider
herself who has a bit of clean wool
with which to stuff her new needle
cushion. 1t is so nice and light and
lends itself SO readily to manipulation.
1t makes such smooth, neat cushion.
1t fills in at the corners so easily and
tufts out in the middle SO beautifully
An, yes! It does all these pleasant
things, but it is delusion and a
snare Just the same, for it absorbs and
retains moisture. Therefore needles
that ale kept in a wool-stuffed cush-
ion rust sooner and worse than in
any other Kind.
Very fine cork dust is good because
light and nonabsorbent. Bran is good,
but not light. Sawdust is heavy and
absorbent. Bran or sawdust are good
for large cushions for the bureau,
where one is constantly changing the
pins, because it is heavy and does. not
permit the cushian to slide around
very readily.
But for small cushions that are
needed in ones work basket and in
which some one needle may not be
used for months the most satisfactory
stuffing is human hair. It neither alb
serbs nor retains moisture and it is
light and spTingy. Many women save
their "combings' to be made over into
some article for the couture. These
same combings may be thoroughly
washed with little ammonia in the
water) and as thoroughly dried and
they will be ready for use. Or the
clippings Of the childrens hair may be
utilized. Once having used a cushion
stuffed after this fashion one general
ly cares for no other kind.

A feeling of general weakness, poor

of the symptoms Of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry

soon. This is q mistake, for every one
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A

is no worse and no better than it was

FLOWERS IN WlNDoW-BoxEs.
Pleasure for Those Who Have No
Garden or Porch.

To the fiower-lover, who has no gar.
den or porch, window-boxes offer ex-
cellent opportunities. Nothing can
give more pleasure te one who lives
in fiat or house. If you have sew
eral boxes to fill, and want something
new, try filling each with flowers of
one color, with just enough of some
other to relieve the monotony. A
charming box is one filled with either
pink Or red geraniums. These are
easy to grow, and they bloom con-
stantly. A box is also attractive when
filled with yellow nasturtiums of diff
ferent shades, and Of the climbing
and dwarf varieties. Petunias, sweet
alysSum, mignonette, heliotrope, and
many other flowers may also be
grown.
The chief requirement for boxes is
that they be Of sufficient size to hold
q quantity of dirt that will not dry
out too quickly. Filled with rich,
loamy soil that holds moisture well,
and Watered regularly, good results
should be obtained. Too much sun is
as harmful as too little.
Any carpenter can readily make
box to fit the desired place. If one
must think of economy, there are
many packing boxes which are the
right size for the purpose. They
should, however, be fortified in the
middle With cross .cleats, but need not
be lined. They should be well paint
ed, dark green, or a color to match the
house. 1t is a good plan to fill the
boxes With about two inches of
broken charcoal before putting in the
soil.
