CALCUTTA, July lS--An epidemic
OF suicide among girls OF marriage
able age is sweeping over Bengal
The high cost OF husbands is re-
sponsibe for this curious and terrible
situation-for these Bengalese girls
are choosing horrible and dramatic
methods OF ending their lives
Each day some new incident OF
self-destruction Is reported Girls In
school openly plan for their own
deaths. They speak in terms OF rev
erence Of girls who have sought death
rather than bankrupt their fathers
or face what is worse for the Bengal
girl-an unmarried life which makes
her an outcast and a paYiah.
New educational requirements have
been demanded by the state for hus
bands, limiting the supply OF avail
able candidates. The fathers OF boys
who have graduated from advanced
schools are demanding fancy prices
for their sons A common price Of a
graduate is 10000 rupees, or about
$3, 800 In American money.
And the girls whose fathers cannot
raise these sums are taking their own
! lives TO escape unwedded lives
! The start OF the suicide epidemic
! began with girl whose name. Snehal.
| alta, is now on the lips OF every girl
| in Bengal Her father was about 10
beggar himself to buy her an edu.
| Gated husband The devotion OF her
father had an answer In the devotion
OF the girl, who in America would
| have been thinking OF dolls or moving
pictures instead OF matrimony
! Snehalata procured kerosene and
! pouring IL over her scanty clothing,
gave up her life in a lurid protest
against the conflicting customs OF her
country which demanded that she
marry and as a price must plunge her
| family into penury.
Other girls have followed her ex-
ample, while some have resorted TO
the short swift plunge into the rivers.
| From the little girls, the widows OF
! Bengal have caught that spirit which
prefers death TO the degradation and
unhappiness to which centuries OF ira
dition condemn them.
The only escape from the lonely,
isolated life OF perpetual mourning Is
through the easier way which
brings even harsher punishments IN
India than IL does In America-for II
is hopeless in its ostracism and eter-
nal in IT'S condemnation TO an ageless
spirit punishment.
While royal commissions are in
vestigating civil service and the ma
chinery OF government, they have left
the women Of India in the position
they have occupied for ages and
school girls and elder unfortunates
are giving their answer OF defiance
to the power OF tradition-but the an
swer IS their own tragic, untimely
deaths.

kinston, July 26.-The deepening

and treacherous inlet connecting
Core sound with the waters to the
north, will give a shorter route to
points to Pamlico sound. The board
of army engineers has favorably re-
ported a proposal to eXpend $500
on the dredging. A channe1 five feet
deep and SO feet wide will be dug the
length Of The Thoroughfare, and
much Of the water traffic which is
now required to make a circuit Of the
headland Of Carteret county will be
diverted through the shorter route,
and great quantities Of the famou
watermelons Of the region and other
produce will find a way to market
quicker. The Thoroughfare is an I'M
usual bit of water, shoaly and diff
cult OF navigation at present, out
when the barriers to ships passage
atively insignificant, it will become q
popular route. The cost of mainten-
ance will be only $500 a year.

CHINESE SQUAT y

China, July 6.-When Noah turned
his sons out Of the ark, after the flood
his most contented and prolific son
was the heather Chine.
In Tho cities and in the country we
find him peacefully sQuatting, and
when he can afford it a small stool
about three inches high fits in ad-
mlrably to obtain a perfect balance.
while he dreams away, filling his pipe
about every half-hOur with enough to-
Dacco to cause a near-Sighted man to
use a magnifying glass to see the pinch
OF a he magnifiCantly wastes.
His pipe is from n to two feet long
while the repository for the tobacco is
about the size of the head Of an or
binary bottle.

OF the sQuatting position the China.

observes the shape and general make
up OF the Chinaman's anatomy ne will

a squat.

twist his Femin and Fibula in posi-
TONS undreamed of by Americans.
with the exception of contortionists,
acrobats and vampire bats.
n Chlnaman may often be seen
standing on one leg while he juggies
a ball with his other leg on the in
SIDE OF his ankle. You might con-
slider this to be a Fibula but come IL
emma and see a u1nb Of youthful
in a ring keeping a ball
Juggled in the air with their ankles.
see the ball spin around the ring from
one ankle to another and you will be
convinced.
Now to go into the cause Of tho
strange shape Of the Chinaman's legs.
1t all can be traced to economy. In-
stead OF using chairs they squat.
surely this is the most economical
way as one is liable TO break a chair

thinks a stout mar must be prosneroua
