In spite of British rule , India is still
virtually a soapless country. Through
out the village of Hlnduslan soap la
indeed regarded as a natural curiosity ,
and it is rarely , Jf evcr , kept in SWCR
by the native storekeeper. In the
} towns it is now sold to a certain extent ,
but how small this is may be gathered
from the fact that the total yearly
consumption of soap in India is about
100,000 hundredweight that is to say ,
every 2,500 persons use an average only
of 112 pounds of soap between them , or
in other words , considerably less than
an ounce is the average consumptior
a person.

Among : the leaders of Hie progressive
element for which Ihc inidlcvebt is
fjiiiiotis , Mr. John C. Ilubinger , of Kco-
kulf , la. , reigns without a peer. As
a inaniifiicturer , nsan entc'rprisingcap-
.laliht and as a iiliilanthrupist his fame
has spread over 111:1113' : Mutes , and his
liii.-uiciiil enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progre-sfcive ,
lhrif < 3r and wide-awake cities. Mr.
Ilubinger , although but -17 years of
age , can look back upon scores of com
mercial victories , each one of which bus
benefited mankind , for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvelous. JIc wsis born in New Orleans

received a public school education. Al

laying the foundation of his present
fortune.

having an annual business of millions

millions of packages of this .starch to
the housewives of America , at a merely
nominal price to the consumer , in order
to make it * merits known without de

WOMEN BAENESSED ,
COMMUNITY -REGARD THEM
AS BEASTS OF BURDEN.
Arc Trailed for Cattle AVooiloa Yokes
CMCC ] , to Which Half u Dozen Women
Arc llamcKscU , Over Whom Whip I
Cracked.
Hitching women in plows and using
Ihem as oeasts in the fields is a new
wrinkle in tne napkin of civilization.
In civilized America the custom is al
ready established in all its 'iteral de
tails women are being formed into
teams and harnessed to heavy plows ,
which a burly son of case in the shape
of a man tranquilly drives through his
fields as most of us have seen horses
and mules driven on American farms.
The place in America where women
arc used as draught animals is next
door to the United Slates up ja the
northwest territories , in and around
Manitoba. The women are of the Eu
ropean peasantry , imported into Can-
aua by the Canadian immigration bu
reau f r tha purpose of furnishing
labor for the Manitoba farming dis
tricts.
Wooden yokes are used , and to these
yokes a span of women are harnessed.
There may be six or eight women to
one plow. And the women never think
of complaining. They sec nothing
wrong in their degradation. They
have known no other , life , and it has
not yet occurred to them to demand
any other. They are back a few cen
turies in uie progress of civilization.
Western Russia has been to dark and
too slow for them to sec or learn of
the rapid strides their sisters have
tanen elsewhere in the world. To
obey their big , heavy-fisted , dull-
brewed lords has been the only thing
they knew in all the centuries.
Just what the dominion government
thinks of them remains a mysicry as
yet. It is morally certain that sooner
or later some official action will be de
manded by the daughters of civiliza
tion in neighboring communities re
garding the prostitution of their Rus
sian sisters to slavery and drudgery
in the harvest fields.
The government cannot ignore this
demand when it comes. It will be in
teresting to watch the official hand of
civilization fall upon the simpleminded
ed Europeans and strive to break them
of their racial characteristics , tin
growth of thousands of years.
OVEREXERCISE.
Interference with digestion is a by
no means uncommon effect of exces
sive exercise , and so far as training is
concerned it is one of the most destruc
tive. The blood cannot flow in full
stream to every part at once. As Dr.
Brunton says : "Every one kncw3 that
while moderate exercise tends to pro
duce appetite , a long and exhaustive
exertion tends to destroy the appetite ,
and even to produce actual sickness ,
as one finds in mountain-climbing. "
People differ greatly in this respect ,
but in some great , ponderous men , as
they man seem the digestion is so
easily upset by muscular exercise that ,
although they may be- giants for a
momentary exertion , anything like
sustained effort disturhs digestion and
cuts at the very root of their nutrition.
Interference with digestion so lowers
nutrition , while accumulation of waste
products so poisons the system that
in c-ither case further exertion becomes
impossible the very will to make it
passes away. But it is different in re
gard to the heart. The heart , although
strained , mav yet be driven on to its
own destruction. Every muscular ef
fort not only ( ] er.ands from th ? heart
an increased fio\v o ! blood , but also |
drives an increased quantity toward it.
So long as the heart can pass this fcr-
\Vard ail is well , but when it fails not
merely is the circulation of the blood
rendered imperfect , but serious dam
age is clone to the heart itself. If
when the heart was overdriven it
merely struck , the enfeebled circula
tion Avoulcl soon put a stop to further
? ffort. . . . , , , .
' " " " * " "
'
-
The willing heart , however , taking
at each beat a wider swesp , and driv
ing into the vessels a larger quantity
of blood , .so meets the call that the
athlete can struggle on , perhaps to win
his race. But the strained heart suf
fers , the stretched muscle does not
quite come back , the dilated cavity
does not quite close at each contrac
tion , and permanent mischief is set up.
Thus it is , that exertion , driven to the
limit imposed by the heart , is overex-
ercise in the most serious sense of the
word. If it is the heart that stops it.
the chances are that it has alreadj
gone too far.
The Wind 3Iado Snovr > .IIs.
Last March there was a remarkable
ixhibition at Gral'ton , X. H. , of the
comparatively rare phenomenon cl
"snow rollers. " Freshly fallen snow
was rolled by the wind into innumera
ble cylinders , some of them as large as
a barrel , which dotted the hills and
fields. Similar rollers have been in
recent years in Connecticut , in Kansas
and in the state of Washington. Tha
size varies with the strength of the
wind.

NATION'S GREETING TO DEVVEY
Features of the Uccoptlon to the.
Hero at Washington.
The central idea underlying the
grand welcome to bo given Admiral
Dewey in Washington the first week in
October is its national character. His
arrival at the capital will mark his real
home-coming to the American people ,
where the officials of the government
will participate , and the magnificently
jeweled sword voted by congress will
be presented. To that end all the ar
rangements will be of a simple but
most dignified character. The welcome
to the hero of Manila at the national
capital will probably occur on Monday ,
October 2 , although the date will de
pend upon the length of the celebra
tion in New York , which is still un-

DEWEY.
settled. The principal features of the
reception in Washington , as planned
by the citizens , with the co-operation
of the president and cabinet , will be
two in number the presentation of the
sword voted by congress and a night
parade. A public reception at the
white house will be followed by dinner
to the admiral by President McKinley.
The sword will be presented by Secre
tary Long , at the east front of the capitol -
itol , in the presence of Mr. McKinley
and all the members of the cabinet ,
late in the afternoon , while the parade ,
consisting of organizations of all kinds ,
will be accompanied by an illumination
of the city on a scale of beauty never
before witnessed in Washington.
The different features of the prepara
tions are in the hands of a central
body of citizens and eleven commit
tees , embracing in all over a thousand
people. Preparations for the celebra
tion have been in hand for over a
month.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad and
other railroads entering Washington
have agreed upon cheap rates for the
celebration , and the committee expects
that there will be an outpouring of pa
triotic citizens almost equal to the in
auguration of a president.

Betrayed by His Parrot.
Victor Chevalier , a clever criminal
in Paris , was run down in a shrewd
way. He was known to be exceedingly
fond of a pet parrot , and the police
wore iru i tpd to look for a loqua
cious bird of this kind. After a week's
search the talkative parrot was dis
covered in the Montmartre district.
The police kept a close watch on the
house , and in time the criminal ap
peared to have an affectionate chat
with his bird.
REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
Every woman is a good actress till
she gee ? on the stage.
There is one thing a woman never
can understand , and that is herself.
Waen the devil had his choice as to
instruments he first picked jealousy.
If they were named anything else a
woman would have just as queer a IOOK
in her face when she talked auout fcer
legs.
If there weren't any bad men to be
norrible examples , probably there
wouldn't be any good women to be
shining examples.
Every racy story a man hears he
acts like it was old to him and every
woman like it was new to her , and
both are making believe.
When a man can make a woman be
lieve that he can't help thrilling at her
voice she feels she has to marry him
so that she can turn the current on
whenever she feels like it.
The difference between a woman and
a cat is that when you tease the cat
you know she'll scratch you , but when
it's a woman you never know whether
she'll kiss you or tear your eyes out.
