Id MEN MARRY BABIES-By Frank G.

I have seen two of s. This is. my first
sight of bride who is really a baby.
Child Wives BY the Millions
You have all heard of the child mar
riages of India They take place every
day, and number millions a year. They
two-thirds of the population of Hindustan.
| have before me the figures of the last
census taken by the British. They show
that India has now more than 100000
wives under 10, and 100000 of years and
under. 1t has 100000 married women of
from 10 to Is, and 100000 more who are
between is and 90 There are altogether
fourth of them are under the average age
at which our girls marry.
There are also millions of child widows,
whose fate is far worse than that of the
married babies whose husbands are liv-
ing I shall write of them farther on in
this letter.
Marriages in India are always arrang-
of bargain and sale, and the father of
the boy gets the money. At present the
price has risen and one of the native
newspapers is demanding that the pa
rents of boys come down on the dowries
they ask for their sons They say that
the parents of the brides cannot stand
the charges, and that the extortions
are a disgrace to the country. Every
Indian father is anxious to marry off
his daughters and, according to the
Hindoo religion, he will be punished II

Gated for the purpose. Sometimes a
man who has recovered from illness
buys a girl and presents her thus a
| gift to the gods, or If one has a stroke
| of good luck he may make the priests
such present. If the temple brides
have daughters they are brought up as
dancing girls. being taught to read
and sing and instructed in all the arts
of seduction. These girls are licensed
by law, but of late years their ex
cesses have become such that even the
natives have begun to object. Three
years ago a number of Hindoos asked
the Bombay government to suppress
the custom in that state, and there was
an attempt to do SO. 1t failed because
the masses Of the people looked upon the
institution as having been sanctifed
by religion, and because the British
make it a principle to do nothing that
affects the faith of their subjects. Just
now similar action has been taken
by Mysore, one of the native states,
and it may be that 1t will succeed
Education for Women
The awakening of India, now going on,
cannot but better these conditions. The
women could not possibly be worse or

an Improvement am told that the IA
tive leaders realize this, and that even
the Mohammedans are holding conVen-
tions in the interest of female education
India has about 100000 Mohammedans,
and thus means that there are hair that
number of women and girls. AS 1t Is now
only 1000 such girls are in schooi. fhe
Mohammedans feel that the educational
standard of the followers of the prophet
must be raised and that this can be best
done by educating the girls. 1t is much
the same with the Hindoos some of
whose, leaders have established girls
schools. There Is a man named Roy
chand, a Jain. who has founded school
for women at Bombay, and that city has
other seminaries of a similar kind.
You have all heard of Pundita Ramabi,
who lectured in the United States not
long ago and collected some money there
for her girls school at Poona. She is a
Brahmin, and belongs to one of the high
est castles of the Hindoos She was edu-
Gated in England and for a time she was
professor of Sanscrit at one of the col
leges there. Her school at Poona has
been running for years, and it is doing

was headed by camels with trappings
= of gold, ridden by bare-legged men in
red and gold turbans. Behind came an
each of which had gold leglets above their
fore-knees and silver bells around their
necks The saddles were of cloth of silver
and the trappings of the brides were OF
gold Behind these animals came the
wedding chair, and farther back band
of music and crowd of men singing and
dancing. The wedding chair was a litter
covered with the red and gold canopy
Upon the mattress inside sat the bride
and groom, face to face, leaning back
upon pillows. I looked in through the
curtains and saw them. They were chill
dren. The groom was a 10-year-old boy
of a gingerbread color, and the bride a
little brown baby of two. The boy wore
gold cap and suit embroidered in gold.
He had heavy gold rings on his ankles
and wrists. Around the girls neck was
gold chain and she had gold bracelets and
anklets. AS looked in the groom smiled
and waved his hand at me, but the baby
bride did not open her eyes, and am told
she had been drugged to keep her quiet
during the ceremony. Since / have been
in India I have seen score of wedding
professions, and in every case the brides
have been children, although the grooms
may have been full-grown men. Some of
the brides were and years of age, and

great good. All OF the pupils are child
widows, and some of the little ones are
only or 6 years of age. Many are young
girls, and others are full>grown women.
In that school they are taught reading,
/ writing and arithmetic, and also such arts
as will fit the pupils to make their own
living outside. They learn to sew and en-
broider and also kindergartening and
trained nursing, as well. A farm is con-
nected with the school, and some of the
women learn dairying and sheep raising
Many of the graduates are already earn
ing good salaries, some are teachers, 9TH
ers matrons of institutions. and not a few
have married again. Some have become
missionaries.
Christian Work Among Women
Our missionaries are accomplishing
much for the women of India, as also
those of Great Britain. The work can
be done only by the women, as men are
not allowed to go into the women's
quarters or to speak to them. There are
about 1900 females among the missionary
population, and the most of these do more
OF less work. There are 13S foreign wom-
en- physicians. and numerous hospitals
and schools. There are two Christian
colleges and in Madras alone more than
100000 girls are going to school. The girls

well as our girls at home. A number Of
them ertered the university, and some
of the daughters of the higher classes
have graduated not only at the colleges
of India, but at those of England, and are
now acting as lawyers and doctors.
AS to the government schools, those for
girls increasing. although they are
still far outnumbered by those for the
men, For instance, India now has 10000
boys' schools, with about 100000 pupils,
and only 1900 girls schools, with 800, 600
III attendance. The percentage of litter
acy among the women is far greater than
among the men. In all India there are
less than 100000 women who read.
and this means about one in every $50. On
the other hand, about one man in every
10 can read, and a large percentage can
both read and write. The officials tell me
thai only about % per cent of the boys
OF school age go to school and less than
3 per cent of the girls.

IS medical attendance, and especially doc

The Dignity of the Supreme Court

comes as near being an ideal way to
spend ones allotted span of years on
this sphere as is permitted in this sadly
ordered world II he be properly select
ed the justice loves his work What no
has to do affords him the chief pleasure
OF his days. He has the consciousness
that 1t is important work; that as he
decides will affect for good or i'll not
only men now living, but in many in
stances the unborn sons of men. Inher-
ent in a seat on the bench are great
powers and grave responsibilities, which
may be exercised in absolute detachment
from all worldly interests and without
fear, favor or hope of reward The JUS
tice Is far removed from daily tempta-
ton. from opportunities and pleadlngs
from the demands and exactions Of
friendships, and from all the little inti-
mate things that swerve the cold pro-
cesses of reason in the forming of the
average mans judgments
However long and intimately one may
be in contact with the supreme court, it
always exacts an involuntary trembling
Of the knees as a mark of respect. 1t Is
of record that one lawyer at least faint
ell out of sheer fright when he arose for
the first time to address the court Law
yers who have had much supreme court
practice have told me that they have
never got over their awe of the court,
and that they never rise to address it
without a little attack of stage fright
and much inward quaking. The cour.
has long, ancient, honorable, and high
traditions. and its members do their best
tc sustain them. Where men appointed
to the court have not been able to live

hALLEY'S COMET DESCRIBED
IN THE JEWISH TALMUD
By Rabbi It Loebn Cincinn

slightest knowledge of e ellptlcaI
orbit of comets IS absolutely wrong.
Even though we should grant the pos
sibilitv that Edmund Haley, aided by
the famous SIT Isaac Newton and other
scientists of his age, did solve this prob
lem anew by his own personal effort,
without regard to those who preceded
him-even then the fact remains that
MANY centuries before HALEY there
lived a Rabbi Joshua who taught pre-
ciseIy the same doctrine anent the
periodical revolution of the comet. And
this circumstance may likewise have
some bearing upon the wonderful
thought of the Roman philosopher,
Lucius A. Seneca, a contemporary of
Rabbi Joshua who revoutionized the
scientific world by declaring his view
to the effect that 1.-the comets had their
perpetual motion along the lines pre-
scribed to them by nature II; doctrine
entirely strange to the many ages of
the past The venera bic Seneca, how
ever, may have been associated with
Rabbi Joshua and his doctrines; as did
many another Of the Roman philoso-
pliers, iurists and statesmen that caught
their inspiration from Jewish men of
learning.
To the superstitious and untutored of
all ages and creeds the fantastic appear
ance of the ''hairv body with its
luminous train had invariably beto-
kened the approach of public calamities,
such as war. pestilence, earthquake and
the destruction even of the entire world.
From among the knowing ones also
not infrequently we hear OF many that
share the same fears and misgivings at
the sight Of the mysterious wanderer of
the unending space. So even now a
certain professor from the west predicts
the end of the world with the approach
OF the heavenly intruder. To such and
similar would-be prophets we should
hold out the admonition of Jeremiah
(chapter X, y: "Thus hath said the
Lord, do not habituate yourselves on
the way of the GentiIes. ard at the
signs of the heavens be We not dis
mayed: though the Gentiles should be
Gsmayed at them.
Note the scriptural passage: He
stretches the north over empty space;
He suspends the earth on nothing.
Now that the north pole is discovered,
we are even more fully convinced of
this wonderful truth so plainly set forth
in the old Bible And this in the book
of Job. which, according to the best of
bibliograp hical authority, is among the
earliest, if not the very earliest, pro-
auctions in the Hebrew biblical litera
