Baby killers.

Until very recently one of the most COM
mon crimes in India has been infanticide.
1t is still practiced in some localities, being
most prevalent at the times of famines.

Military Supplies.

This last department has now It's own
secretary, and 1t is one Of the great bust
ness institutions of the government. 1t
deals with army contracts, the manufSc-
ture OF clothing One ordnance, the trans
2ortatioa Of eS'VnAl's AID foo5 and var
ious othAr thlsys. St hiss :actorses EhT
making boots AID ci)S5Sg sor tbs soldiers
factories for making harness and also
large establishments for the manufacture
of field guns, shells and armament OF var
ious kinds. It has camel and cattle farms,
and II supplies mules and horses and other
animals for transport. There are several
camel corps, and there are parts of the
country where the camel owners are given
lands free on condition that they hold a
certain number of camels available for
military service This department has
also to do with elephants. some OF which
are used for dragging the great guns
through the jungles and over the roads. In
coming long distances both elephants and
guns are transported by railroad.
The chief breeding farms for horses
mules and doukeys are situated in GER
tain selected districts in northern India
and the Decoan The system is to pur-
chase young stock and rear them on the
government farms. Horses for the cav
airy are also imported from Australia
and stations from Arabia for the improve
ment of the native stock.

The Army as an Asset.


The officers here tell me that the army
is the best paying asset in John Bulls
schedule Of East Indian Investments. 1t
is kept up without taxing the people at
home. and II gives him big fighting force
which he can shift to any part OF the world
upon order. He used It against the Beers,
and also in China at the time of the Boxer
rebellion. In case OF an Aslatic war OF any
description It would be invaluable to him.
and upon the whole 1t makes India worth
far more than 1t costs. This is especially
so, as the Hindus pay the total expenses of
the military supplies and OF the soldiers.
The cost amounts to something like 100000
900 year. but this is all raised by the tax
alton OF Hindustan.
The army is not extravagsntly kept from
a western standpoint. The native soldiers
receive something like s. or So per month,
which is good pay for this part of the
world. Moreover, those who remain in the
service for a fixed length of time are re-
tired on a pension OF cents a day, and.
therefore, can luxuriate for the rest of
their lives

COULD NOT GET RID OF BOXES.
They Were So Large No One Would
 Move Them.

l mONe
 Once there was a man who came ! irto possession of some boxes. Moth ing funny in that? Of course not. Anybody who had a chance to get some nice packing boxes would have been as glad as he was.
 They're big ones,' said the friend who gave them to him. and the re cipient laughed happily.
 "The bigger the better" he said, merrily. "I'll send down to the place and get 'em this afternoon"
 That afternoon he approached a move wagon man and told him he had fourteen packing cases to be moved, and asked what he would charge. The move wagon man took a stub of pen cil and made a calculation based upon usual charges of 9 cents a box. and finally agreed to move them for S2.5O as a whole. The box owner then went home and waited for his boxes. At last he called up the place where the boxes had been stored, The owner of the storeroom was angry. He more the way and suggested that the owner come down and take them away. The move wagon man had come, seen and departed, shaking his head.
 The owner then went down tc straighten out the matter. He found that the boxes were indeed large. One was a little fellow eight feet square, while the others could have held couple of square pianos apiece. They were foreign-built boxes. dovetailed and firm. and built with screws and cleats and plainly intended to remain boxes.
 This ain't no lumber yard sug- gested the man who had the store room. You'll have to get em out this afternoon. I need the room.''
 Then the owner worked the tele- phone frantically in search of pur chaser. By o'clock three people had called. looked at the boxes and taken fright. They were very large boxes. By , o'clock the owner was trying to give the boxes away. One man agreed to take them. and he was happy until the man called up and. remarking that he didn't bargain to remove houses. threw up the job. At o'clock he near ly had a fight with the owner of the storeroom, and it ended in the box owner hiring a negro at 50 cents an hour to make lumber of the boxes, and hiring a move wagon at $2 trip to haul the lumber away. When he came to analyze the situation he found he had bought B worth of secondhand, nail-studded lumber of odd sizes, and had paid s4.50 for it.

 There was a time when the typical bachelor was pictured seated alone in sadly neglected room, pushing a re- luctant needle through unyieldins cloth, as he strove awkwardly to sew a button on his coat, using the side wall of his room for a thimble. That is all done away with now, when the Uni versal Valet Company, Unlimited, sends its 'motor to &he door of the bachelor apartments and carries away the garments of Benedick, returning them at nightfally, every button re-en- forced, every spot and stain effaced

cnfIdren's fathers were idling away their time.
 If you were to dig that land," he told them, pointing down to the fer tile valley, you would come across buried treasure, and be rich men. You could wear fine clothes then, like the men in other villages, and your wives would have brave new gowns, instead of rags"
 Then he flew away on his broom stick to a belt of fir-trees. and waited to see what would happen next.
 At first no one seemed inclined to hunt for the buried treasure; they were accustomed. you see. to doing just nothing at all. But after while the wife of one of them, who had over heard what the Brownie said. bor- rowed a spade and began to dig in the valley, and, not to be outdone, they all followed her example.
 They dug and dug, but still no treasure appeared; and one day the least dull of them suggested that, as the ground was now so well prepared, it would do no harm to turn it into a garden.
 A neighboring farmer, who had often pitied their poverty. generously gave them potatoes and seeds, and soon there was a big market garden where there had been only wild flow CTS and weeds. So fine were the crops that grew there that when they were taken to market they fetched good price, and though the mountain folk found no buried treasure, when winter came there was gold and silver in the old wives stockings, and the children were warmly clad.
 When the Brownie paid them an other visit. they greeted him with a storm of howls.
 Where is the treasure you spoke of?" they demanded, showing their fists; but the Brownie only chuckled. The fruits of the earth were the treas ure that he had thought of. and now that through him the idlers had learnt to be industrious, he was well content Chicago News.

 Dotted goods are much used just now, not only for dresses, but as coat trimmings and the like. Many hand some coats of the season are made of tlssah. linen and other spring goods. with deep facings of dotted foulard.
 Coquettish little bonnets of shirred materials are worn by debutantes. They are in rich colors and give ad- diticnal color to the very youthful face. The cord shirring adapts itself nicely to this particular style of bon net.
