WOMAN AMD WOE.

Old Age In India Invariably Blende the Two Into Ons. *1 have eeeo women under a burnbag midday «iin reaping la the fields," says a writer on India; T have seen them at roadmaking la the streets of etnas; I have seen them loading engines with coal at railway stations; I bars seen them In tong procession on the white roads of the plains carrying great burdens on their heads like a string of camels. And I have seen also in the eyes of every old woman whom I have encountered, every one of them, each misery, adversity and angry bitterness as seemed to curse the very air of heaven. I have not seen one happy old woman In the whole country. "Women follow through the village like a dog at the husband's heel. Maternity Is no excuse for the task In the Arid and the duties of the houae. They are servants without wages and without liberty to select another master. Before them is perpetual servitude, and if they are so abandoned by the gods as to reach old age their certain destiny is misery, dejection, friendliness and black despair. 1 never knew all tbe meaning of the word woe until I looked into the face of an old woman under an Aslan sky. "The women folk of the upper classes In India, speaking generally, are more tbe prisoners of tbeir husbands than the women of the helot castes. They do not labor except in cooking and serving tbe meals of their husbands, bnt they are ent off from the world as completely as a nun; they do not even know, in many cases, the male relations of their husbands. They are little more than caged animals taught to do n few household tricks.”—Chicago News.

COOKING A HEDGEHOG.

Bake It In Clay Into a Solid Mass and » Carve It With an Ax. When a Maine Indian has the choice Of n hedgehog, a skunk, a woodchuck and n muskrat for dinner he will select tbe first named invariably and take tbe sknnk as second cbolce, leaving the woodchuck, which is tbe only one of the lot a Maine white man will taste, to the last Unlike tbe skunk and the woodchuck, which are lean and unsavory except for a few months In the fall, or the muskrat, which is never fat and which has a strong flavor In spite of parboiling, the hedgehog Is always in edible condition,and has meat that is as tender and white as that of a spring chicken. Tbe method of cooking a hedgehog is so simple that a novice can learn in one short lesson. When the epicure is permitted to make a choice be should shun the large old males, which at times weigh thirty or forty pounds. The preparation consists in removing tbe viscera, washing out tbe interior and filling tbe cavity with slices of fht pork, peeled raw potatoes, sprigs of spearmint and wild celery from tbe brook. Then, without removing the quills or skinning, the body is plastered thickly with wet clay from tbe nearest bank. The muddy, bulky mass is thrust into live coals and covered with blazing fagots to be roasted for two hours. On removal from the coals, the clay is found to have been baked into a hard and solid mass, which must be broken open with an ax or a heavy stone, whereupon tbe skin and qnills of the animal cling to the clay wrapping and fall away, leaving the clean white meat ready to be eaten.—New York Herald.

A Bridge of Ants.

A species of ants which spin silk is common in hot countries. The ants nest in trees, binding the leaves together to make their nests. Tbe silk used for this purpose is not secreted by the adult ants, but by the larvae. In order to attach the silken threads and draw the leaves together the ants must carry tbe larvae about from leaf to leaf. When two distant leaves are to be drawn together a remarkable method is employed. Five or six ants form a chain bridging tbe gap between the leaves, each gripping the waist of another In its mandibles. A number of such chains will co-operate In bringing two leaves together.

A Legend of Lace.

According to Melchior de Vogue, tbe legend of lace Is as follows: A Venetian sailor gave his ladylove a frond of aprsading seaweed to keep him In memory while at sea. But the girl found that tbe seaweed was rapidly drying np and disappearing. So she caught the fine branches and leaves of the plant with thread against a piece us linen and, working on. with her thoughts following her lover, invented

DEEP SEA DIVERS.

Death Always Hovers Round Them While) They Toil. PERILS THEY HAVE TO FACE. The Awful Pressure'of Water and Atr That May Bury or Burst Them—The Hdlmet Telephone a Wonderful Aid In Work and In Times of Danger. It is surprising to learn bow many uses there are for divers. The navy, of coarse, employs many to set submarine mines and torpedoes and to attend to investigations of tbe condition of ships' bottoms. Bridge construction companies use them, as do those who build dams, waterworks and reservoirs. Waterworks in large cities keep a diver on their staff constantly. Wrecking companies need tbeir services. and the profession of underriver tunneling makes many demands on the time and skill of the man in armor. Since Smeaton in 1779 designed a pump to supply air to the diving bell little real improvement in the ret has been made, save in detail of helmet and clothes, until the invention of the telephone. The greatest advance ever made in the art. divers will tell you. is the combination of the telephone with the diving suit. Before its advent divers had to depend entirely upon pulls on the life line for communication with the surface and upon signs to each jjther when under water if two wished to communicate. Today the modern diving helmet is equipped with a telephone, and the diver can not only bear what Is said to him from the surface. advise those in charge of his pump as to whether the air is "coming right" or not, but he can communicate to a brother diver and hear the instructions sent to him from the surface. all of which facilities are of great assistance in the work. At first thought it may not seem so difficult a thing, this going down under water and breathing air sent in from a pump by a tube. Bnt the physical drawbacks to the work are enormous. For every ten feet a diver descends he sustains an additional pressure of four and a half pounds over every square inch of his body. What this means may be better understood when considering tbe greatest depth ever made by a diver-204 feet His body at that depth sustained a pressure of eightyeight and a half pounds to the square inch over and above the fifteen pounds always sustained when in the air.

Divers must descend very slowly, swallowing as they go; otherwise they may bleed at the nose and ears and even lose cbnsciousness. And they must ascend even more slowly than they descend, particularly when coming from great depths; otherwise they may literally burst from internal air pressure. At the least, too sudden a rise may cause an attack of that terrible disease known to tunnel workers called caisson disease, or the bends, in which air gets into tbe tissues under pressure and causes the most extreme torture. The diver, getting ready to descend, dotbes himself in very heavy underwear of guernsey or flannel, tbe drawers well secured to prevent slipping, and adds a pair of heavy woolen socks. If the water be cold two such suits may be worn. If the depth to be negotiated is great cotton soaked with oil is put in the ears or a heavy woolen cap pulled down over them. Shoulder pads, if worn to take the weight off the helmet, are next tied on. after which tbe diver wriggles into bis heavy suit of rubber and canvas. Next come the inner collar and the breastplate, which are secured with clamps to the rubber dress, the utmost care being taken in this operation not to tear or pinch tbe rubber. Finally the shoes are fitted on and the rubber gloves clamped to rings in the sleeves. The helmet is the last to go on, and never before the valves and telephone have been tested. Tbe attendants start to pomp as tbe helmet is clamped home. The helmet is attached to the pump with a rubber tube, which is canvas and wire protected. No diver descends, after the helmet is pat on. until be has tested the outfit and found that bis air supply is sufficient and the pomp working properly. He is supplied with a life line, with which he can signal should his telephone get out of order and by which he may be drawn to the surface should he become helpless for any reason. He most take great care when walking about on the bottom not to foul his life line or his air tube and for this reason most always retrace his steps exactly to his starting point if he has gone into a wreck or about any obstructions. For tbe same reason two divers working together must be careful not to cross each other’s path. Sometimes the life line may become so entangled in wreckage that It must he cut. and then there is danger of the diver not finding his way back to his boat or float, especially if tbe bottom Is muddy and foals the "seeing." Bat the greatest danger of all. of coarse, is that the tube be cut or tbe diver faint la either case he is in desperate straits. If the man handling tbe life line "feels" anything wrong be will ban! tbe diver up willy nflly and regmrdless of the severe bleeding {at nose and ears which will result ftiom too rapid a rise to the surface. But If the direr be inside a wreck or If bis life line gets tangled in wreckage such hauling would do no good. It is In sib nations like these that tbe slender connecting link 4>t telephone wire means so much to tbe men who risk their fives far beneath the surface of the water.—Sdentlfie American .. .

Daughter of O. K. Ritchey Died in Wichita Hospital.

Mrs. Elsie Ritchey Hard, daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. O. K. Ritchey, died Saturday morning at 9 o’clock, in a hospital at Wichita, Kans. Death is thought to have been due to dropsical conditions that had caused her to undergo one or two slight surgical operations/ Miss Ritchie left her home here about two years ago and went to the home of her sister, Mrs. Albert Farmer, and her brother, Chase Ritchey, in Oklahoma City. There she was married to'William Hurd last Thanksgiving day. Her age was 23 years. The news of her death was a sad shock to her relatives and her friends in Jasper county. The body was shipped from Wichita and was expected to reach Rensselaer yesterday morning, but it did not reach Chicago in time to permit the transfer and catch the 11:30 train. It was expected then that the corpse would reach here at 1:58, but a blunder of the depot employees is said to have caused a failure to make the shipment. The body reached here on the 5:58 train Monday evening and a brief service was held at the Christian church. It was largely attended by friends and neighbors of the Ritchey family and the sorrow all felt was shown by the general gfief at the service. The corpse looked so unnatural that friepds could hardly identify it as that of Elsie Ritchey, who was so well and favorably known during her life in Jasper county. Mrs. O. K. Ritchey, mother of the deceased, aed Chase Ritchey, her brother, accompanied the body from Wichita.

Monon Railroad Buys Walsh Coal Lands-Invesment of $3,000,000.

Chicago Tribune. The Chicago banks, which underwrote the “Walsh debt” at the time of the settlement of the John R. Walsh affairs have just realized $3,000,000 more through the sale of the property of business of the Alliance Coal Co., originally started as an important investment for the old Chicago and Southern Indiana railroad. Preliminary papers were signed a week ago whereby the Monon Coal company, affiliated with the Chicago, Indianapolis and I<ouisville Railway company, the “Monon” route, took over the Alliance properties. The work was completed yesterday when final deeds were signed and arrangements made for the handling of additional business The Alliance properties include about 20,000 acres of coal lands in the counties of Sullivan, Clay, Greene and Vigo, in Indiana. It had been rumored that the Vandalia railroad was interested, in the purchase of the properties and was negotiating with the Chicago, Terre Haute and Southeastern, the reorganized Walsh railroad properties, for the acquisition of the 'lands. Instead the Monon concern gets complete control. Picnic specialties: petted meats, Vienna sausage, pork and beans, prepared spagetti, dried beef, peanut batter, olives, all kinds of cakes aud cookies at tbe Home Grocery.

Many ills come froth impure blood. Can’t have pure blood with faulty digestion, lazy liver and sluggish bowels. Burdock Blood Bitters strengthens the stomach, bowels and liver, and purifies the blood. The city team is being used to cut grass along vacant lots and in front of property where the cutting has been neglected and this requires the team to get a long distance from the business center. It seems that owners of all property, either vacant or .occupied, should be compelled to keep the grass and weeds cut This is contemplated by city ordinance and there is small encouragement for some who do this when they see the city taking care of their neighbor’s property. But if it is to be done, then another team should be hired to do it and the city team kept up town and not far from the engine house.

Notice to tbe Pnblic. The School Board of the City of Rensselaer is planning to build an addition to the old high school building, and this notice is given in accordance with the law governing the construction of school buildings. It is hoped that all comment, favorable or unfavorable, will be made quite soon, as it is the desire of the Board to have the building completed by the first of September, if possible. The improvement contemplates a building 50x70 ft., to stand about 20 feet to the north of the High School building and connected with it by a colonnade. The basement will contain a gymnasium, toilets, dressing rooms, shower baths, lockers and a stove room. The gymnasium will have a free space 39x55 ft., a 15 foot ceiling, and seating room for 250 people. The upper story will be for an assembly room or auditorium, and have a stating capacity of 500. At the north end prill be a stage with two dressing rooms. This room would be used every hour ot the school day for assembly and study room purposes and would be sufficiently largj to accommodate most of the school functions. It is estimated that the structure would cost, about SIO,OOO and provide ample room for many years to come. The old building has been recently inspected by a competent architect and he pronounces it perfectly substantial and sanitary and good enough to stand for fifty years.

This proposition is submitted to the people for its judgment. Let the board hear from you. Respectfully submitted. I. N. WARREN. By order of the Board of Education. V Notice to Cut Weeds. All property owners are hereby notified to cut the weeds and grass to the curb line surrounding their property.
