In the fixed scale Of descent in India
some classes are merely inferior, while
some are ''unclean" or "untouchable,"
but from whatsoever class a man be
born IN he has no escape but death.
Children born in an "unclean" caste
remain ''unclean;" children born In an
inferior caste remain as their fathers
were. Nothing that they can do can
IN the slightest degree change their
eituation. They were born "uHeiean;"
their ancestors were ''unelean;' their
descendants will be ''unclean" TIL the

Giving ImpressiveIy.

There are dlversities of giving as
well as Of gifts. To give little with
grand air sometimes seems to make
more OF an impression than to give
much modestly. The world has not
changed In this respect. Samuel Pepys
wrote In his DIARY" in 1880: There
was a great number of merchants and
others of good quality tat dinner) on
purpose to make an offering Ito two
newly married servants), which, when
dinner was done, we did, and l did

believe most Of the rest did give
more, and did believe that did so
too"

TO IMPROVE THE TOWN
Ladies to form New Organization.

An effort is being made by a num-
ber OF leading ladies in town TO form
an Improvement league, the object
Of which is to bcautify the town
and promote its health and cIeanli-
ness.
IL is a purpose Of the league to es-
tablish a system by which waste
boxes, well made and nicely painted,
will be located at prominent places
in town as receptacles for scrap
paper, etc. 1t is hoped TO educate
children and grown folk 10 the idea
of tidiness, as in some other towns
where it is known people have walk
ed a block out of their way TO drop
scrap paper in the waste box, or a
banana peal picked up on the street.
Besides IL has n tendency TO give the
town a clean, tidy appearance.
Another idea is TO plant trees, for
each resident To plant one tree, II
there is none I'm front of his residence.
To beautify gardens with planting
flowers will also be an object OF the
league and to carry out the city's
sanitary suggestions, some Of which
have recently been made by City
Health officer Dr. w. ;. Welch. IL
was the purpose of Mrs. Wainwright,
wife Of former superintendent OF
the Naval Academy, TO organize such
society, but her husband was or
dered away just before her plans
were completed. 1t is hoped the
ladies interested may effect an organ
ization at an early date.
