NATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES, Fresh News and Gossip frem the Seat of Government. Government silver purchases for July did not exceed $2,600,000. There will be $18,500,000 paid out on account of pensions during the month of August. Official information has been received of the successful trial of the Howell torpedo, at the torpedo station at Tiv- ton, R. I The torpedo showed re- werkeble accuracy, and it is believ will surpass the English Whiteh torpedo. The Navy Department has received an account of the doings of the Behr- ing Sea fieet up to the first of this month, The health of the ficet is excelient. Seven American and 26 British sealers had been taken, with “ed American and 18216 British ns. Owing to conflicting statements in regard to the failures of National banks, Oomptroller Eickels bas pre pared a statement showing that the total number of failures to August 1, Was 105, of which 14 have already re- sumed, and many others are preparing to resume.

AMONG THE HINDU POOR. Multituaes of Aborigines, Almost Un- clothed, Living in Wretched Buildings. Measured by any standard of actual possessions, says a writer in the Paul- ine Mission Message, the aboriginal and unmixed Hindu population is poor in- deed. It has often been a wonder to us that the laboring classes among 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 comforta- bly do so in the Koiwar’s more capa- cious, better-roofed home. But this house is about all. Seldom do brass cooking vessels appear in the hands of the Kois. The most common earth- enware, cheap, easily broken and quick- ly replaced, do them. Better utensils are seen among even the poor Hindus. Here and there are flocks, but a few fowls, perhaps a goat or two, a dog, and one or two genuine “scalawag” pigs menke up a Koi estate. In the West the men dress better than in Bastar. The women go with the upper body only imperfectly covered by a cloth that covers the lower body, one end of which is thrown up over one shoulder from the front. in the villages 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. Yur hearts have been touched with pity many a time as men, women and whildren have come out to hear us preach, sing and pray. It is notice- able that the natural modesty of man- kind is not wholly lost even among the most barbarous tribes, or under the vilest of heathen systems. We first thought such nudity would prove the depravity of the people. But to our surprise 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 marriage relation is ed pied Saat Ea The Koi, on the other hand, may gamise, but gen- erally he has but ay wife. Notwithstanding the apparent pov- erty of the aborigines among whom we have travelled, they seem remarkably happy. Almost every night you hear the village song and the tom-tom. This is to amuse themselves and frighten away the wild beasts that abound about them and are the plague of their stock pens. Whatever else the people have or have not, they get and use to- bacco. They grow it and its use by both sexes is everywhere seen. Even little children indulge in the poison. Drinking under the British “out-still system” is fearfully prevalent along the Godavery and drunkenness is spreading greatly in that vicinity; up to a recent date the people of Bastar have been comparatively free from this vice. But the British excise sys- tem is set up, and the mohwa tree, the flower of which yields liquor, abounds. Five thousand people meet in Jagda- pur every Sunday market day. These weekly bazaars afford a fine opportun- ity for evangelizing. Much of the grain 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 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. i 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 position, always hung up, or always laid 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 dust, 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 dis- 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 @ 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 most perfect finish which almost neutralizes those adverse fnfluences. No watch keeps perfectly correct time. Even the best chronome- ters, used in observatories and on board. ships, 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 oncé in two years, espec- fally 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 watchmaker, to have it tNxen to pieces and cleaned; a delay of even an hour may spoil the watch forever. ————— — 4 Man Whe Was Not o Liar. An active, energetic young De troiter, who is now very hap married and doing extremely wi 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. “I believe,” he said, “that you have a record, as the boys say?” “Yes,” he responded frankly. “I haven't negleoted my opportunities.” “Do you gamble?” “Well, I play a little poker and bet on an election or a 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.” “Certainly. Why not?” “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 kind, I’m dead sure.” The father smiled. “Well,” hesaid, “whatever else you are, you are nota liar, and I guessI'll tisk you.” It was a safe risk.—Detroit Trib- une. 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,’ remayks 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 $16,000 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 apother took the pic- ture.—Boston Transcript. Greece May Yet Become Powerful. Manhood suffrage 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 without colonies 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- come 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 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. Persons who suffer with bad circu- lation should give special attention to the care of the feet. There issuch a luxury in bathing that it is a won- der that any one neglects it even for the comfort of it, to say nothing of its importance in the matter of health. —Brooklyn Citizen. ee =n aan — THE ORIGINA!: OLD LINE — Quaker Co.
