The - ruling passion of the natives of'India is an inordinate love of jewel- ry. . Every .Hindu as. soon as he has ‘accumulated any:surplus cash,:lmme~ dlately converts the same into gaudy and often expensive ornaments: for himself, his wife apd children,, Every, Hindu wears earrings and, on great: occasions, -as many_ as .balf a pairs.

In some . dis- tricts. married men wear silver rings on thelr toes, and another fashion i3 to, have tled on the upper arm a gold box containing’s charm to avert bad Juck. It is the women, however, who appear in the greatest splendor. It is not uncommon to see a WOman At- tending eome festival or other with decorations in her hair; her ears, her nose, around her forehead, her neck, her arms, her wrists, her fingers, about her breast and neck, and around her knees, calves, ankles and toes.

On the other hand, walls covered with stucco or good varnish cannot only be readily freed from germs by washing, but they possess the property of cleans- ing themselves spontaneously from bacterla lodged upon them. It has been found that the germs of typhold, of cholera and of pneumonia, when placed on such walls, perish within 24 hours, while on walls covered with drled size they survive for weeks and even months.
