CONSERVATISM ININDIA.

A native journal of British India
syas;
Within five short years a great
change has come over a section of the
native population of Lahore. Certain
bold men have begun to take out
their wives in the evenings for a
drive in open vehicles. A week ago
we saw the daughter of man of po-
sitiOn walking with her father on the
railway platform at Lahore. She was
dressed in what seemed like an En-
glish gown, had English shoes on,
and when her husband came up she
left her father and walked about with
him. Her face was quiet uncovered.
Let those who have relatives in
! Lahore go there and see for them
selves the state OF things. They will
see wives going out shoulder to shoul-
der with their husbands in the even
ings, having said good-by to old re-
StrictiOnS. A man who would dare
to reimpose the old manners on his
wOmenkind would receive scant cuur-
teSy."
An American reads this with
smile; but is conservatism of India
any more ridiculous than the conser-
vatiSm of America, which forbids a
woman to go to the polls with her
father or her husband and drop o slip
of paper into ballot box? The argu-
ments put forth today aginst woman
suffrage will be as amusing to the
next generation as the CONSERVATION
of this East Indian Editor over the
advanced" women who are so bold
and untiminine as to walk in public
with uncovered faces and in company
with their fathers and husbands.

There is no gainsaying the fact
that business is quiet, but if the
existing conditions will have ten
dency to make folks live within
their resources w hen the era of
prosperity is ushered in, a great
good will have been done to the
people. If when wages reach the
stage that was reached prior to the
panic, the wage earners do not take
advantage of them to make pro-
vision for the future, they are not
benefited thereby. One of the
great men of this country said on
one occasion that it was not the a.
mount of money that a man made
that would eventually result in
making him financially independent
but the amount saved. This is true
today. If man earns fifty dollars
week and squanders it, he will
ever be dependent on somebody for
a livelihood, but if he earns but ter
dollars week and saves one quar-
ter of it, he will ultimately reach
the point where he can better his
condition or secure that independ.
ence that every intelligent mar
hopes to do some day. To save g
part of your earnings is to pave the
way to financial independence.

sits under his own vine and fig

business stagnates. But the wise
farmer can snap his finger at these
things He is the monarch of all
he surveys on his broad acres. And
the honesty of his boys and the pur-

The supply merchants of the
South could very materially aid the
backward farmers to independence
by refusing under certain condi-
tions to sell them corn and bacon
on credit. Rich beyond the dreams
of avarice the South must become
when once the features of her ac-
cursed credit system are abolished.
All The blame for that system can
not be charged up to the farmers.
In perhaps more than one sense the
supply merchant is the debtor far

mutual obligations here.

The Blarney Stone.

In there really such a thing as a
blarney stone in Ireland? asks sub
scriber.
1t is a stone built in the wall on
the summit Of Barney Castle (abOut
four miles northwest from Cork.)
This stone is said to confer on the
person kissing it the power to speak
agreeably. The castle was built in
1449 by Cormick McCarty. The true
barney stone recognized by the nat
ives is not the one commonly kissed,
but is in the wall several feet from
the top. and can be kissed only with
great difficulty and with as sistance,
bysleading over the parapet.

Only a Cold.

"Only a cold," is a common ex-
preston. And so the victim lets it
go on, day after day, red eyes, swol-
len features, lassitude, sleeplessness,
loss of appetite, the irritating
cough.
In itself a cold may be simply I'M
comfortable. In its results it is Of
ten fatal. Pneumonia, with its enor-
nous fatality; consumption, with its
deadly grip; bronchitis, asthma,
these and many ailments are often
the direct result of cold.
The patient may have had many
colds, They have resulted in moth
ing serious. But when the system
has become weakened by these re-
peated attacks, when the mucous
membranes are in a chronic I'M
healthy condition, then it is these
fatal maladies assert themselves.
This is no greater mistake than to
neglect cold. At its first appear
ance measures should be taken to re-
lieve it. At this season of the year,
when coughs and colds are common,
Peruna should be kept constantly in
the house. At the first symptom
this remedy should be taken. 1t will
soothe the mucous membranes, re-
lieve the irritation, and the cold
will gradually disappear. That this
has been the experience of many is
proven by the hundreds of grateful
letters in our files.

PLOT is OVERHEARD
To Blow Up on-Union Hop
lzins County Mines.

jacksonville, KY, Feb. S.-The
following is letter which was re-
ceived by one of the local uewspa-
pers, written at Hopkinsville and
dated at Henderson.
"HOpkinsville, KY, Feb. 1905
For some time have been trying to
avoid the performance Of a duty l
owe to an innocent and unsuspect-
ing people. but at last my regard for
human life prompts me to write this
letter, which, if published, | feel
confident will be the means of saw
ing hundreds of human lives and
prevent the destruction of many
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty. On the night of Jan. %, l
happened to overhear a conversation
in an adjoining room to mine at
hotel in the city of Hopkinsville.
Judging by the different voices
there were three men in the room,
and one of them was revealing a
plot to blew up the non-union mines
in Hopkins county. One Of the num-
Der stated that there were high ex-
plosives planted in twelve different
mines in Hopkins county, and that
there were from five to seven men
in each of the mines who were ac-
quainted with the location of the ex.
plosives, as we'll as the methods of
exploding them. The plan, as re-
vealed, is to set the explosives off
when the power is turned on in the
morning at the electric mines, and
to use fuse where electricity is not
used. During the conversation, one
of the number remarked: 1t will
never do to let President Smith
know of this plan, for he is as bitter
as hell against violence of any kind,
and will not stand for anything like
this Another remarked: All, the
damned scabs will all be in hell be-
fore Smith knows anything about
our scheme
For Gods sake, make this known
before it is too late. j. R. A"

est exertion because she is improper

day in a lecture before class in
/ Northwestern University Medical
College.
mo wonder her circulation is poor;
no wonder she is unable to stand any
exercise or exertion to amount to
anything" said DR.. Dudley.
"The upper garments are usually
of some thin material, and accord
ing to the caprice of fashion may or
may not cover the arms, neck and
upper part of the bust.
"a profusion of skirts are worn
loosely around the lower extremity
of the body, and the feet are held in
vise-like grip of thin, high-heeled
covering which resembles stills more
than shoes.
"In strange contrast to such inad-
equate protection of the upper and
the lower extremities, the waist and
hips are swathed and compressed in
a 'torrid zone of whalebone corset,
belt steels and the pads of the vari-
GUS under and outer garments worn
by the women of today.
The average woman wears to-
tai of seventeen layers of bands OF
some sort around her waist. Allow"
ing "a inches as the average waist
circumference of a Chicago woman,
although there are many with larger
waists, it means that each woman
has a total of "a feet of bandage
tightly wrapped around her."
DR.. Dudley told his class the only
way the woman Of today can become
strong and hearty is by banishing the
numerous tight bandages about the
waist and giving more care to keep.

the body warm.

Three recent decisions by the Re-
publican Supreme Court have great
" lessened the Republican chances
of success this year. One before
Christmas was declaring the En-
ployers' Liability law unconstitu-
tional. This was followed by a de-
cision permitting railroad companies
to discriminate against union labor
by refusing to employ union men.
The last was the decision rendered
in the case of Lowder & Loewe
awarding them triple damages
against the Hatters' Union, of Dan
bury, Conn, for a boycott against
the formers hats. The court held
that the boycott extended to many
States, which in the language of the
bill, constituted a combination to
limit and restrain interstate COM
merce.

WITH HIS TOE
Robert Moore Blows the Top

Shotgun.

Covington, KY, Feb.1 Coroner
Murat was called to-day to investi-

aged 2 2years, of Boone county.
Moore blew off the top of his
head with shot gun. He took off
his shoe and pulled the trigger with
his toe. Before killing himself Moore
made perilous trip acre 81 the Ohio

to prevent his skiff being sunk by
the floating ice.
