lo—lndln la a Land of no Childhood.
I was once asked by a San Francisco
lady what I considered the strangest
thing in all Hindoostan; or, rather, what
created in my mind the greatest wonder.
The reply surprised my listeners: “ The
utter absence of children.” So says
John Hamilton Gilmour in the San
Francisco Chronicle.
When I landed in Hong Kong, on my
way to the far west, I secured my first .
glimpse of child life—a sight Which had
been denied me since I left Egypt, Where
sore. eyed little Arab boys make perpet-
ual clamor, and rob you and gambol be-
fore you with artistic pristine innocence.
In Hong Kong I was delighted to notice
school boys with good animal spirts, for
my initial introduction to the Chinese
scholar was at a. fearful contest between
two boys who were fighting with their
long queues, their formidable lashel
cruelly laying bare each other’s faces.
Imagine two little Hindoo boys fight-
ing. The idea is preposterous. Their
behaviOr is more sober than the carriage
which illumines the greatness of our
elderly merchant princes. An Indian
boy of ten is quieter, with a more studi-
ous bearing, than a college don, and has
infinitely more bearing.
They are born old. are these babies,
and even in their earliest hours look
out upon the world in solemn, thought-
ful manner. I wish our civilized and
uncivilized babies, for babies of rude
tribes are more decorous and seemly in
their deportment than the European and
American baby. They have more stable,-
intelligent countenances. A civilized
baby seems a dull, characterless, inani~
mate lump of soft flesh, capable of pro.
ducing weird, frightful, painful, pier-
cing sounds. A baby of a crude nation is,
on the contrary, a sophisticated, intel-
lectual giant in miniature, capable of
appreciation and decoro usly quiet. Com-
pare the babies of the Cahuilla Indians
and a white baby. The Indian. baby is
demure, placid, healthful, and utterly
contented. The white baby is peevish,
fretful, disgustful, and as discontented
as the mother.
It was the same in India. No sooner
is the baby born than the' attendant
nurse vigorously thumps its little back
To see that it is alive. This treatment
produces thought in the child, and, de-
liciously smeared with oil, it is placed in
the sun and there meditates on the muta-
bility of human affairs. When it can
toddle it has duties to perform, duties
which are extremely hard. I have seen
in the northwest province a lad six years
old drive to pasture a herd of buffalo,
tend and bring them back, and have been
patronizingly told when meeting an ugly
lot of these brutes, “ Dero mut—fcar
not, I am here.” i
This child of six years was already
carrying a huge responsibility. His lit-
tle sisters would also be at work, for
where hand laboris necessary each living
person must work. There is no time to
be spent in the cradle, for there is no in-
termediate step between that and field
work.
The I-Iindoo father is most ambitious
for his ;- ens, and often have I seen father
and son going over the next day’s les-
son’s, arguing and fighting in truly af-
fectionate manner. The paternal power
is very strong in India, and generally the
father is held in almost superstitious
reverence by the family.
They have one peculiar pleasure, that
of kite flying. But the boys’ participa-
tion in this amusement is limited to look-
ing on. for the management of these
huge kites requires .not only skill but
great strength. Night is the time for
kite flying, and from many a house-top
airy battles are waged during the long
balmy evenings of summer.
The custom of early marriages pre-
vents there being any childhood in India.
Girls are married between five and ten
years of age and the grooms are but a
few years their senior.
' Madras, which is facetiously called the
benighted province, has long been edu-
cating its girls, and I have seen Brah-
minis at the public schools. But the
Hindoo girl, like her brothers, has no
childhood. At five years of age she is
plunged into matrimony and life begins
'to be a. grind, for among all castes the
wife is a very proper and useful adjunct
to the house. Her only pleasure is to
cook and wash for her husband and
raise her children for their mutual satis-
faction. ,
Despite her continual cares the Indian
girl has some playthings, and her dolls
are most curiously constructed.’ They
are as stiff and unnatural as their owners,
and generally made of wood and dressed
as Nautch girls. The Mohammedan
girl who was caught playing with a doll
would be in immediate danger of trouble
from the more fanatical of her friends.
The Mohammedan is a contemner of
dolls and whatever he fashions must not
bear resemblance to living creatures. A.
doll, therefore, is symbolical of idolatry.
“To \Vhat Base Uses!"
“Ah me i” sighed the old hand press.

“ Don’t growl," replied the office
towel; “ you haven’t suffered half as
much as I have. Last summer they used

President-Elect.
THE GEORGIAN STATESMAN out
or “BAD LANDS.”
'He is Not Opposed to the Ad-
ministration. .
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.——Crisp has called
on Cleveland, and his visit was a pleasant
one.
E. Ellery Anderson has called on Crisp,
and such terms as “tariff smasher” and
“sugar coated protectionist” have been
tabooed. ’ -
There will be no war on Crisp With Mr.
Cleveland’s sanction, and in the language
of the Mills men, who do not like the
drift of things, the Georgia statesman
may now be considered to have left the
“bad lands” and returned to the reserva-
tion.
Judge Crisp looked the picture of con-
tentment as he sat in his parlor in tho
Hoffman House. His day had been a busy, '
one, but it had evidently not been attend—
ed with unpleasant circumstances. He
had seen, in addition to Mr. Cleveland,
err-Secretary Whitney, Col. Daniel S. La-
mont, Richard Croker and many other
politicians of less prominence. Judge
Crisp was asked if he felt at liberty to
speak about his conference with Mr.
Cleveland.
“Do not make the mistake of calling it
a conference,” corrected the Speaker hur—
riedly. “That term makes it seem too
formal. There was no special engage-
ment. I came over to see Mr. Cleveland
and pay my respects, having only met
him once since the election and then for
a very short time. Isaw Mr. Cleveland
and had a. very pleasant talk with him.”
“Would you care to indicate generally
some of the pomts which you and Mr.
Cleveland touched on during your con-
versation?” I asked.
“Oh, no, no,” said Mr. Crisp, “I would
not do that. We talked for an hour or
more, and While there was nothing mys-
terious or deadly in our converse, I would
not feel free to repeat it.”
“Judge Crisp, as you know,” I said,
“since you have been in this city last
there has been much talk to the effect
that you are to be regarded as an anti-
administration candidate for Speaker of
the hext House of Representatives. Are
you to be so regarded?”
Speaker Crisp was silent half a minute
while be framed his answer.
“ I want to say most emphatically,” he
said, “that I am not. I am heartily in
sympathy with Cleveland’s views on the
necessity of reforming the tariff. The
people who have elected Mr. Cleveland
have spoken, in tones so loud that they
cannot be misundersteod, in favor of a
reduction of tariff duties and of a lessen~
ing of taxation on necessities of life under
the McKinley law. I am entirely in ac—
cord with Mr. Cleveland, and in that re—
spect I believe the party as represented in
Congress is united and in favor of giving
him every assistance in applying remedies
to the tariff evils and in making his ad—
ministration a success on the lines which
