Devil nrixlnn In India

In spite of the reformed councils.
it is a mistake to imagine that India
has entirely shed the old Adam. Es-
pecially in the field of medicine, old
beliefs and superstitions still cling
to the people, and devil driving" is
still fiourishing trade Interesting
instances of devil driving are given
in the Indian Medical Gazette One
of these is from an old village of
some importance mostly Inhabited by
merchants and tradesmen about q
mile and half off the Chaudanga sub
division, in Nadia" The village dur
ing and after the rains, is hotbed of
malaria. The villagers decided to drive
away the devil of malaria. They did
not take advantage of the medical aid
provided them. but bought instead a
pair of donkeys at a very high price
with the superstitious belief that the
neighing of these animals would do
away with the evil spirits of malaria.
sThe donkeys are held as sacred and
are allowed to roam at large through
and around the village. Needless to
say, malaria still prevails in the village
in as virulent form as ever. Who
will say after this that the task OF
those who wish to popularize quinine
as a prophylactic is easy?-Calcutta

A projection of this kind can be made
much easier than any style of boxed

it certainly looks neat and attractive.
This design may be built of any
kind of material, but it probably looks
the best just as the drawing shows

and the gables covered with cement

with pure white trimmings looks es-
pecially well. White trimmings on a
house gives a suggestion Of cleanli-
ness inside, just as clean white
collar and cuffs seem to say that the
individual wearing them is particular
about personal cleanliness. The white
trimmings have the effec. of showing
the clean lining turned outward just

A customer who wishes to buy a
paper steps to the sidewalk and holds
out his arm. The horse knows the
signal, and pulls up so short that it is
wonder the rider is not catapulted
over his head.
So efficient is this system of eques-
trian newsboys that dweller in the
outskirts of Montevideo gets his even

TEST MAKES SURE OF DEATH
Injection of FIuoresein Will Tell Abso-
luteIy Whether Any Life Remains
In Body.

A remarkable new method of test
ing absolutely whether a person is
really dead and thus avoiding the pos
sibility of premature burial, just an
nounced by Doctor Icard, of Marseil-
les, has been received with great in
terest by his colleagues in Paris.
Doctor Icard's system depends on
the question whether the blood is still
In circulation or not, and consists Of a
simultaneous injection of a small
quantity of iuoresein, which is quite
harmless, but one Of the most violent
coloring matters known.

the blood the fuoresein, carried around
the body, staines 1t vivid golden
yellow, while the eyes become a deep
emerald green. If, on the other hand,
there is no movement Of the blood the
coloring matter is not dispersed, and
produces no effect. Haff an hour is
stated to be enough to make this test.
