In spite of British rule, India is still \ virtually a soapless country. Through out the village of Hindusian soap is indeed regarded as a natural curiosity, and it is rarely, if ever, kept in stoc* 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 lees than an ounce is the average consumptioB a person.

Among tlie leaders of (lie progressive ;lement for which (lie midle west is Famous, Mr. John C. Hubinger, of Keo kuk, la., reigns without a peer. As a manufacturer, as an enterprising eap .talist and as a philanthropist his fame has spread over many states, and his ilnaneial enterprises have developed many obscure towns into progressive, thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr. Hubinger, although but 47 years of age, can look back upon scores of com mercial victories, each one of w hich lias benefited mankind, for his liberality is ns bountiful as his business sagacity is marvelous. He was born in New Or leans, La., his parents being of French and German origin. When he was four yeais old. his family removed to Ken tucky, in which state young Hubinger received a public school education. Al most before reaching man’s estate he secured patents on a number of val uable mechanical inventions, thereby laying (lie foundation of his present fortune. By inclination and force of circum stances his attention was early direct ed to the manufacture of starch by im proved processes, and in the course of time he became the head of a concern having an unnual business of millions of dollars. lint genuine ambition never quite satisfied with existing con ditions, works ever toward perfection, and after years of painstaking study and research Mr. Hubinger lias made a o. • ' * • JOHN C. IIUBINGER. discovery, which he considers the crowning event of his wonderful career, and which is embodied in a new article of commerce, known as Red Cross Starch (Red Cross trade murk.) lie is planning to distribute millions of packages of this starch to the housewives of America, at a merely nominal price to the consumer, in order to make its merits known without de la}'. Thus, for but 5 cents two large 10c packages of Red Cross Starch may be had, together with two magnificent Shakespearean views printed in 12 beautiful colors, or a Twentieth Cen tury Girl Calendar; or for only 20 cents 10 packages of the starch and the entire series of eight Shakespearean views and one Twentieth Century Girl Calendar—views alone easily worth $1.00. Watch this paper for future premium announcements, of which every lady will certainly want to take advantage. While Mr. Ilubinger will devote his best energies to the manufacture of this new and wonderful starch, he will not retire from the various financial enterprises in which he is interested— street railways, electric lighting plants and the Missisisppi Valley Telephone Co., with 10,000 telephone subscribers in Minneapolis and St. Paul—nor will his augmented activity interfere with his social obligations and exercise of the splendid hospitality which he dis penses at his palutial Keokuk home. Mr. llubinger’s family, consisting of himself, wife and four children, is the pivot around which his activity re volves, and while fond of promoting great enterprises, he is still fonder of his home circle, where he spends every moment of time not taken up by busi« ness or public cares. Dynamite Ciiiih for I’liillppinex. Dynamite guns are to be employed by the army in the coming campaign in the Philippines. While the use of these guns is yet regarded as in Its experimental stage sufficient progress in their development has been made to warrant the army officials in includ ing them as a part of tne equipment in the field. Recently Lieutenant M. C. Buekey, 'J bird artillery, was or dered to New York to aid in loading tne twelve two and one-lialf Inch Simms-Dudley dynamite guns, accesso ries and ammunition, on board a mer chant ship, which is to transport them to Manila by the Suez canal. From New York Lieutenant Bucsey will pro ceed to the Woolwich arsenal, Eng land; Paris, France and Amsterdam, for the purpose of examining the or ganization and material of mountain guns and hotwltzer batteries used in India and Africa and other countries where service is similar to that in the Philippines. After performing this duty Lieutenant Buekey will procc to Manila for dutv. Marietta to the Marietta. Governor Bushnell of Ohio recently conveyed a silver service to Boston and presented it to the gunboat Mari etta in honor of her second birthday. It was the gift of the Ohio town whose name the gunboat bears. “Go on!” says the New York sub committee to Captain Evans. “What do you know about running a naval show, anyway?” Danger lurns in the gin rickery. A scientific mixer of summer drinks in a glittering New York cafe says the acid of the lime cats sharply into the flesh, and disintegrates the tissues as surely, if not as fast, as vitrol. This bartender says that no one should drink more than two gin rickeys in any one day, if he desires to keep his stom ach in an ordinary state of preserva tion. WOMEN HARNESSED. COMMUNITY REGARD THEM AS BEASTS OF BURDEN. Ara Traded for Cattle—Wooden Yoke* Weed, to Which llair a Dozen Woman Are Harnessed. Over Whom Whip I» Cracked. Hitching women in plows and using them 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 ’Heral de tails—women are being fortned into teams and harnessed to heavy plows, which a burly son of ease 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 are used as draught animals is next door to the United States—up <» the northwest territories, in and around Manitoba. The women are of the Eu ropean peasantry, imported into Can nua by the Canadian immigration bu reau for the 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 see 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 nie progress of civilization. Western Russia has been to dark and too slow for them to see or learn of the rapid strides their sisters have taiven elsewhere in the world. To obey their big, heavy-fisted, dull browed lords has been the only thing they knew in all the centuries. Just what the dominion government thinks of them remains a mystery 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 simple-mind ed Europeans and strive to break them of their racial characteristics, thi 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 knows 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 disturbs 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 either 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, may yet be driven on to its own destruction. Every muscular ef fort not only demands from the heart an increased flow of blood, but also drives an increased quantity toward it. So long as the heart can pass this for ward all is well, but when it fails not merely is the circulation of the blood rendered imperfect, but serious dam age is done to the heart itself. If when the heart was overdriven it merely struck, the enfeebled circula tion would soon put a stop to further effort. The willing heart, however, taking at each beat a wider sweep, 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 already gone too far. The Wind Made Snowhr.Ils. Last March there was a remarkable •xhibition at Grafton, N. H., of the comparatively rare phenomenon ri “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 hil.'s and fields. Similar rollers have been in recent years in Connecticut, in Kansas and in the state of Washington. The size varies with the strength of the wind. To Make Lace Look Nice.

The central Idea underlying the grand welcome to be given Admiral Dewey In Washington the first week In October is Its national character. His arrlral at tho capital will mark his real home-coming to the American people, where the officials of the government will participate, and the magnificently Jevreled sword voted by congress will be presented. To that end all the ar rangements will be of a simple but moat 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 SWORD VOTED BY CONGRESS TO 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 numbei*—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 cap 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 Ills l’arrot. 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 were instructed 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 goes on the stage. There is one thing a woman never can understand, and that is herself. When 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 look in her face when she talked about ner legs. If there weren't any bad men to be horrible 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.— New York Press. PROVERBS BY WILLIAM BLAKE. Expect poison from the standing wa ter. Without contraries is not progres sion. To create a little flower is the labor of ages. What is now proved was once only imagined. He who desires but acts not breeds pestilence. Listen to the fool’s reproach. It is a kingly title. Tt was in a Philadelphia Sunday school, not long ago, that a teacher asked the question: “What is a lie?” Of course there was a small boy who thought he knew: and this was his definition: “A lie is an abomination unto the Lord and an ever present help in time of trouble.”—Philadel phia Bulletin. Over 1,000 houses in London arc tenantless because they are supposed to be haunted. Seventy-one of them have been the scenes of murder, and from some of the remainder occupants have mysteriously disappeared. !

Says a rural paper: “A savage dog on the outskirts of town bit off a small boy’s linger and swallowed it." Any way the doc showed some considera tion in not swallowing the boy's finger before biting it off. A CAPABLE mother must be a healthy mother.
