Multituaes of Ab»rigines, Almost clothed, Living in Wretched 1: Measured by any standard of actual eSSIONS, SAYS a writer in the Paul- ie Mission Message, the aboriginal and unmixed Hindu population poor in- deed. It has often been a wonder tc us that the laboring classes ainong Hindus build So poorly, and one is not less surprised to see the comparatively superior houses the Koi takes the pains to build. A man can rarely stand in a poor Hindu’s one to three rupee house, he nearly always can comfort: bly do so in the Koiwar's more cap: cious, better-roofed home. But thi house is about all. Seldom do brass cooking v Ss appear in the hands of the Ko’ ¢ most common earth- enware, cheap, easily broken and quick- ly replaced, do them. Better utensil are seen among even the poor Hindu Here and there are flocks, but a few ¥ perhaps a goat or two, a dog, and one or two genuine “scalawag” pigs make up a Koi estate. In the the men dress better than in . The women go with the upper only imperfectly covered by a at covers the lower body, one end of which is thrown up over one shoulder from the front. In the ges of Bastar we find mul- titudes with no more than a piece of cloth three feet by nine inches, a very scant covering for the human frame. Mur hearts have been touched with pity many a time as men, women and Shildren have come out to hear us preach, sing and pray. It is notic able that the natural modesty of man- kind is not wholly lost even among the most barbarous tribes, or under the vilest of heathen stems. We first thought such nudity would prove the depravity of the people. But to ow we did not find any more im morality among the aboriginee than the Hindu. Children up to eight or ten years are usually utterly naked. Among the Hindus the ma very lightly esteemed other hand, may poly erally he h but one wife. Notwithstanding the apparent pov- erty of the aborigines among whoin we have travelled, they seem rem: . happy. very night you h the vil nd the tom-tom. 1 is to : selves and fi av w beasts t about them and are the plagu stock pens. Whatever clse the people have or have not, 1 use to bacco. The $ both s¢ i a P seen. little children indulge in the p: Drinking under the British “out-stil system” is fearfully prevalen the Godaver and = drup spreading greatly in that to a recent date the people of B: have been comparatively free this vice. But the British ¢ se tem is set up, and the mohw: flower of which yields liquor, abounds. Five thousand people meet in Jagda- pur every Sunday market day. These iy ars afford a fine opportun- ity for evs zing. Much of the gr carrying is done on the heads of wo- men, or on men’s shoulders. The aboriginee wears plenty of jew- elry. Men put on most of it. We fre quently see from ten to one hundred different articles of ornament. Naked they may be, but they must have jew- elry. We have seen thirty-eight rings in a man’s two ears on a feast day. The great respect apparently shown to woman among the aborigines is strik- ink. She seems to be reckoned fairly man’s equal. This greatly simplifies missionary work among them. Our preachers can at the same time with equal facility reach both men and wo- men. At Yellandu three-fifths of all who hear our preachers are women. The aboriginee either in the west or east builds no temple to his gods. These people revere gods they esteem to well in the hills. They worship the five brother kings, of whom Beem Der and Dharma Rai are the favorites. They sacrifice to appease the Hindu small-pox goddess, but do this in the open air. Every high hill is deemed sacred, and it is difficult to get one of these people to ascend one of the high- er hills. They have no idols so-called. The last man among them will tell you “God is above.” When you ask him why he does not worship him and him only he frankly says because he does just what his father taught him. Everywhere the magic-man is dread- ed, and he takes good care to fleece the people well for his own profit. Jagda- pur is full of temples and literally somebody has made “priests of the common people” here. Such is the country, the people, their history, their customs, condition and religion told but in part. Un- uildings. mise, but gen from 3 Treatment of Watches. That a watch may keep good time, says Chambers’s Journal, it should be carefully treated; it should be wound at the same time daily, and when not worn should be placed in the same os.tion, always hung up, or always aid down, as every watch goes differ- ently in different positions. In watches having a double case, the outer one should never be left open. If it is left open even for one night the glass is covered with a thin film of dusf, which will gradually enter the works through even the tiniest openings in the case. Watches should be wound in the morning, because a spring fully wound up will more readily overcome the tlis- turbances produced by the movements of the wearer. Springs will not break so easily if watches are carefully wound up and not taken out of a warm pocket and placed directly against a cold wall or on a marble slab; for that reason a protective mat is desirable. The changes of the oil, the variations in temperature, the density and humid- ity of the air, all greatly affect the going of a watch, and it is only the lever watch of the mdst perfect finish Which almost neutralizes those adverse fntiuences. No watch keeps perfectly correct time. Even the best chronome- ters, used in observatories and on boar¢ Bhips, must be regulated according to tables which fix the variations to which watches are subject. A watch should be cleaned every two or three years. In time the oil decom- poses, gets mixed with the particles of dust which enter the works of even the best-closing watch, begins to act as a grinding material, and wears out the working parts. It frequently hap pens that a watch requires cleaning eftener than once in two years, espec: jally if it closes badly or is exposed to much dust and dirt. Any one who has the misfortune to drop his watch into water should take it at once to the vatchmaker, to have it tNxen to pieces and cleaned; a delay of even an hour | may spoil the watch forever. A Man Who Was Not a Liar. An active, energetic young De troiter, who is now very happil} married and doing extremely well, took a chance on getting his wife it might be well for others to try. When he had settled the matter sat- | isfactorily with the daughter, he in- terviewed the father. The old gen- tleman looked him over critically when he stated the object of his visit. j “I believe,” he said, “that you | have a record, as the boys say?” “Yes,” he responded frankly. “I haven’t neglezed my opportunities.” “Do you gamble?” “Well, I play a little poker and bet on an election or @ sporting event | now and then.” “Do you drink?” “Yes, when I want to.” “Do you dance and go to the thea- ter?” “Yes, when I’ve got the money to pay for it.” | “Do you save any money?” “Not much.” ‘The father looked stern. “And still you want to marry my \ daughter.” t “Certainly. Why not?” i ‘Do you think a man who hasa record such as you confess to should have a good woman for a wife?” “He shouldn't have any other ; tind, I’m dead sure.” The father smiled. “Well,” he said, ‘“‘whatever else you are, you are not a liar, and I guessIli visk you.” It was a safe risk.—Detroit Trib- ane. The Fee Question In England. In discussing ‘‘What to Give When Visiting,” a writer in a London paper brings out some curious history of old time English feeing. “In town,” he says, ‘‘the feeing sys- tem is certainly on the decline. For- merly fees were given under the name of ‘vails’ to servants by dinner guests and ball guests and even by luncheon guests. This is now quite a thing of the past. Fashionable so- ciety does not give and is not expect- ed to give. The middle classes, how- ever, still retain this old fashioned custom—they give their crowns and half crowns to the parlor maids, and even mention this when engaging them. ‘I often give luncheon par- ties,’ remarks an old lady to an ap- plicant for her situation, ‘and you will find my friends are very gener- ous.’ “Such trifling fees, however, could not be looked upon as a tax, but they were a trouble, and they have fallen into abeyance. At the thea- ters the feeing system is rapidly dis- appearing, to the great satisfaction of the public, who feel that quite enough is charged for seats without having to pay to be shown into them.” In the Act of Robbing a Bank. Those who were in the Cambridge- port National bank Thursday after- noon saw a man who a few years ago was considered one of the most notorious bank robbers in the coun- try. The man was Langdon W. Moore, and one of his most success- ful robberies was the stealing of 616,000 in bonds and money from that very bank. In a few words Moore made known his errand to the officers of the bank, He is writing a book, and it is to ba illustrated with pictures of some of the most successful of his daring robberies. Having gained the re- quired permission, Moore took the same position that he did on the oc- casion of the robbery many years ago, the bank now being arranged practically the same as then. A young man took the place of his ac- complice, and another took the pic- ture.—Boston Transcript. Greece May Yet Become Powerful. Manhood sufirage is an unstable foundation for a government; yet in Greece, where the population is al- most exclusively agricultural and, except in Thessaly, peasant proprie- tary is universal, there is less cause to apprehend those furious gusts of popular feeling which affect people crowded together in great industrial centers. If military and naval ex- penditure—especially the latter, for which in a country wi ies there ought to be no pressing neces- { sity—can be kept within reasonable limits, there is good cause to hope that the new kingdom will be firmly established, her desolate fields be- conae repeopled and her internal re- sources steadily developed.—Black- } wood's Magazine. { Our Oldest Bit of Literature. { The book of Job, as it is incorpo j rated in the Bible, is believed to be the most ancient literary work in ex- } istence. It is known to have been } written prior to the Pentateuch and { prior to the promulgation of the law. \ In profane literature the poems of { Homer are the most ancient that have | come down to our day, though the names of others still older are in ex- { istence. The Pentateuch was written about the year 1451 B. C., and the* Homeric poems about 640 years later. } —St. Louis Republic. The Luxury of Bathing.
