The only: woman who paid homage to the King Empercr at the gorgeous masculine gathering of the great Durbar was the Begum of Bhepal a Princess, a Ruler, a wife, and a mother; she ap- peared, veiled, to swear fealty to her soverelgn, This is typleal of In- dia, No Englishman in India, from the Viceroy downwards, knows any- thing about the women of India; what they feel what they think what thoy know what they-do; these millions and millions of women These 50,000,000 wives and mothers are an absolute unknown quantity to thetr rulers, Happily for India, her deal wom- anhood is still the good mother and To the Indian man his won en-folk are sacred and apart- his mother s word is his law from, his Tirst conscious moment to her last; and the wife who has borne him sons is his most cherished possession. This fierce modesty of the Indian woman. her shrinking from all man- kind except the immediate circle of her own family and her chosen bus- band, seems to be inherent in the offered to the prospective buyers of bungatow lots along the Long Island shores, if whaling can be included in the list ft would undoubtedly make the offers a great deal more attractive The whale in questfon had evidently been little too eager and greedy when hunting for food and had given no thought to the dangers of the tide. When the tide receded he was strand- ed of a sand bat.and there he was spied in the early morning by a New York brewer, who owns a bungalow on the Arverne beach. With the assis? tance of several life-savers the beer manufacturer lassoed the. whale, killed him with knife stabs. One of the numerous pawnbrokers on Second Avenue had a ead exper- tence last week, sad in more than one r spect. He lost 2.50, several promis- ing customers and a few other things, including a plece of one finger and a small portion of his nose, The last mentioned losa he could well atford, but'what hurt him most was the los: of the 2.50 in cold cash. The onl. thought from which he can draw any consolation s that the loss would have been even more deplorable had 1 bon twice as great. Ofie day last week a young woman visited the pawnshop and asked for a loan of: 2.50 on a parrot which she large hauled him on the beach and there) changes and relorms they are not always the same thing are brought about by cranks. Moses Harmon, who died in California a year or two ago, was perhaps the first man in America to openly preach the gospel of eugenics. For years he carried on the propaganda, through periodicals and books, from Topeka and Chica- go. He held that the standards of posterity could never be raised un- der the present marriage system, and: his advocacy of free love led to frequent; and prolonged visits to the federal prisons. Smee unen eugenics has yecome respectauie, science, which propos to improve the unporn without di turbing the legal status of the ma: riage relation, The pioneer among jeugenie stientists for Harmon was agitator rather than a scientist is Prof. Uhurles Benedict Davenport who was born at stamford, Uonn., forty-six years ago today. He gradu- ted from Brooklyn Polytectinic in- titute and Harvard, and in June, isv4, married Miss Gertrude Crotty, of Burlington, an., who became his very able assistant in the work of the world s urst eugenics instituba at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island.

And-what has been done for the women by,this humane and beneficent government? Nothing unless she chooses to be attended by a man, which, as is well known, the large majority of the respectable women of all classes will die rather than do. Fifty years ago the Government of India might be forgiven for this scan- dalous neglect, for at that time wo- men doctors practically did not ex- ist; but now, when medical women of the highest attainments and pro- ficiency are available, equally com- petent as the doctors, to take po tions in sole charge of women's hos- pitals under the aegis of the State thow can. the Government of India shut their eyes to thed uty that s before them?

STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE OLD NEW YORK (Specialto the News) New York, June 1 A new order, which bears the somewhat mystifying names of the Excellent Order of the Knights and Ladies of Ehud, was founded in Orange, N.J., the other day, through the efforts of the Rev. Dr, William A. Frye, pastor of the Orange Methodist Church. It is safe to say that before the Rev. Dr. Frye had delivered his opening sermon at the meeting at which the order was founded, but few, if any, of those Present had even the remotest idea who Ehud was. Dr. Frye, himself a left-handed man, had called together a meeting of left-handed men and wo- men, for the purpose of forming an order of the Left-Ilanded. He ex- plained in his opening serman that, according to the Bible, Ehud was the first left-handed man of note on rec- ord, Ehud, who was a Benjamite, Was sent by the Jews to bear tribute to King Eglon, the oppressor. Ehud, being left-handed, cleverly made use of his peculiarity to become the de- bird by offering him. fopd, parrot, when the bird went on a ram- page. He began to scream language unfit for-publication-and: to sing ras. time songs of an unspeakable cyarac ter. When customers came info the shop Polly began to abuse therh, cail- ing them the most insulifng names and telling them to beat it. When the bawnbroker tried tp pacify the the con- trary and ungrateful fowl snapped at the man s nose and nipped a piec out of it. During the night he made so much noise that all the neighbors complained. A postal card was promptly mailed to the owner of the parrot, requesting her to call at the shop. The card did not reach her in time, however, and not until a day later did: she come to the shop. The pawnbroker insisted that she should take her bird back, but she said she did not have the money to redeem the bird, The pawnbroker, for the, first time in his life, did not insist upon the return of the loan and in- terest, All he wanted was to get rid of the bird and his wish was fulfilled. To a certain justice of the peace in Yonkers came a young couple the other day, presented a marriage l- cense and asked him to tie the knot which only death or the divorce court can undo. The J.P. was willing and in a short time the ceremony was finish- ed which -made the two young people man and wife. The yougg man paid the fee, but made no effort to leave the premis s. Finally the J.P. be- came nervous sud asked the young benedict what else he could do for Then the young man frankly confessed that he had been educated in the belief that no marriage cere- mony was binding unless the person who tied the knot implanted a kiss upon the lips of the bride. The J.P.. who is unusually bashful for a man of his age and profession, became alarmed and tried to convince the young man that the ceremony was perfectly binding without the kiss. But the young man, who wanted to be sure of his bride, insisted and finally the J.P., blushing furfously, gave In and chastely kissed the pretty bride. The Chief of Police of Lodi, near Hackensack, N.J., is evidently pot a crack shot with the revolver gnd his friends are poking a great d al of fun at him Just now on that account. The other morning, just about dawn. Ye was awakened by a noise in his neighbor's yard. Looking through the window of his bed room the Chief saw a bold burglar in the act of climbing ladder to the bedroom window of fhe neighbor's house. The Chief reached for his trusty weapon and, aiming carefull, he fired a shot at the audacious burglar. The latter, how- ever, escaped not only with his life, but also his person and disappeared in the dusk. But the bullet, neverth less, had claimed a life. Next morning there were great lamentations in the neighbor's family when it was found liverer of his people. While jextend- ing his right hand to the king, he drew his sword with the left hand and ' that the children s pet goat, which exhibited at the International Dry- had been sleeping in the yard, had Farmed Exposition - at Lethbridgs been killed by the bullet intended for October 21-26th.

Dr. Davenport, - considering that human heredity is quite as important as that of hogs and towers, branched Jout into eugenics. Wealthy individ- uals interested in the welfare of the human race sibseribed considerable sums of money with which to carry on the investigations. Scientists all over the world soon became alliliat- ed with the institution, contriouting reports and data that may, when ta- dilated and compared, bring to light facts of supreme and vita import- ance.

Since Prof, Davenport commenced his work, tho science of eugenics has been taken up by many universities jand leamed societies all over the world. For the most. part. these eu- genists are animated by the scienti- fic spirit, and refuse to consider what eflect their discoveries may have upon the marriage relation. They seek the fact , and institutions may take care of themselves. The early eugenists, like Moses Harmon, began with the assumption that legal mar- riage was wrong, and free love the ideal in the relation of the sexes, and sought facts to prove it. The new school of eugenists seek only; the truth, regardless of what systems it may help or harm, PRIZES WORTH WHILE WINNING Great Interest Being Taken From At- lantic to Pacific in Dry-Farmed Pro- duets Exposition at Lethbridge, and Its Valuable Premiums.
