HOW CHOLERA IS SPREAD IN INDIA.
Through Lack of Sanitation and the Peo-
ple's Peculiar Habits.
A plain story of the conditions that
prevail in India for the spread of the
cholera was related at the New Cen-
tury club by Dr. Pauline Root of the
Woman’s Medical college, who has lived
'for eight years in southern India. Dr.
Root began by describing the conditions
under which people liveo' in southern In-
' dia, in order to show exactly what cir-
cumstances generate the cholera. There
is absolutely no sanitation there as we
have it. rainage, with the exception
of a fever breeder in the way of an open
sewer, is unknown. In the village peo—
ple live in low mud huts, where all the
family congregate in one room, the di-
mensions of which are likely to be 4 feet
by 10 or 12 feet. As there. are no out-
buildings at all, there is no way in which
persons can protect themselves against
the cholera if it once appears in such a
household. Sometimes, if the well runs
dry, stagnant water must be used. A
high caste personage will not allow a.
low caste to use his well.
Commonly people go to the river for
water. As the water is frequently not
on the surface, a. “tub” is dug in the
river bed and the water allowed to col-
lect. At this tub or at the well all the
functions of bathing are performed.
First thejar is filled and the water being
dashedpver the person soon trickles back
to its source. In the case of certain re-
' ligious enthusiasts, water is pouredover
the body 50 times. Next the seely, the
single piece of silk or cloth which is worn
as a garment, must be washed. This is
dipped into the pool. Finally the jar is
refilled and carried home. The quality
of the water by the time the jar is re-
filled is promising indeed when cholera
is in the air.
In these river tubs the clothes are
washed. The cattle are taken there to
drink. .Dr. Root said that in sending a
man to the river. to fetch water there was
never any certainty that he would not
fill his jar with the water standing in one
of the pools instead of digging a fresh
hole. The very cleanliness of the people
—and they are extremely clean—tends
to the spread of chole: a because their
method of but .1ing is so unintelligent.
In southern India there is always more
or less choleia. It' is often prevalent aft-
er a certain religious festival—of the
the marriage of two divinities—which 18
celebrated by an encampment in the
river bed for four or five days.
As for facilities in caring for the sick
in India, Dr. Root graphically showed
how forlornly poor these are by describ-
ing her experience in the house of'the
vice president of the municipality of
Madua. a wealthy man, who arrayed
himself resplendently when he came to
ask her to visit his wife, thus showing
his solicitude for his wife’s condition.
Undoubtedly he meant to do the best he
could for the sick woman, for the doctor
found her in a room adjacent to her hus-
band‘s—a position of honor. The wom-
an was badly cripple‘d and only able to
crawl down from her cot. Beyond play-
ing with the children and polishing the
jewels nothing 1elieved the monotony of
her day. Shea \ 'as entirely uncared for.
A hole in the wall for refuse was cleane
only once a day. The woman died of
blood poisoning. And this is the‘way a
sick person fared in one of the better.
houses!
Usually a sick person is placed in a
room that is reached from the house by
crossing a court and passing through an
alley. The alloy usually has black,
slimy water in it. The room is 7 feet
square. In the court are often found
the cow, chiCkens and a number of per-
sons. No wonder that under such con-
ditions cholera spreads like wildfire.
But cholera is always brought. It never
starts of itself.——Philadelphia Ledger.
The Marechal Niel Rose.
Although many flowers owe their
names to famous people, there is only
one instance known When a man and a
flower received a title at the same mo-
ment. When Niel, a brave French gen-
eral, was returning from the scene of his
victo1ies 1n the war between France and
Austria, he received from a peasant who
wished to honor the hero a basket of
beautiful. pale yellow roses. One of
the stems, which happened to have roots
clinging to it, the general took to a flor-
ist in Paris, in Whose care it remained
until it became a thriving bush covered
w ith blossoms. Niel then took the plant
as a gift to the Empress Eugenie. She
expressed a great admiration for the ex-
quisite flowers, and on learning that the
rose was nameless said significantly:
‘-‘Then I will name it. It shall be the
Marechal Niel, ” and at the same mo-
ment she bestowed upon the astonished
general the jeweled baton that betokened
his promotion to the high oflice of mar-
. shal of France. —-Dmke’ s Magazine.

TO AMATEUR MUSICIANS.
some Hints which. it Followed. will no
. Found Quite‘Advunugeous.
The following is a’sc " of hints to
young singers and wofid be angers
which have been received from One of
Boston’s well known miisicians:
Start under the right instruction. It' 1s "
far better to begin right in middle life
than wrong in youth.
Study everything carefully, for ‘ ‘what’s
worth doing at all 18 worth doing well.” ,
Cultivate «refinement 1n all things. The
tastes, inclinations and tendencies of the— ~ I
singer, whether refined or coarse, are un-
avoidably made manifest in the inter— ‘
pretat'ion of the music she sings.
Keep up with the events of the world.
in a general way, but while studying
music live in an atmosphere of music.
COncentration is the secret of many a
singer’s success.
Sing everything as the author wrote
it, for one should‘ be as truthful mmusic
as in history.
Plan your mode of‘ living and hours
for eating, sleeping and exercising accord—
ing to the manner in which they afiect
your singing.
Throw your whole soul into your sing-
ing. Live in the song while you sing it.
The sympathy and interest of an audi-
ence are most frequently gained by the
sincere, soulful and truthful rendering
of a selection.
Cultivate animation, warmth of spirit
and coloring in rendering your songs
Train yourself to be cool headed and
collected when singing.
Sing without notes when possible. You
can produce better dramatic effects and
hold your audience better by so doing.
Don’t try to study music, art and sci-
ence all at the same time. Select one
and do that well.
Don’t think of making music your pro-
fession unless you have a more than or-
dinary talent for it. The musical pro-
fession is always crowded with perform-
ers, except at the very top. where there
is always plenty of room.
Don’ t think of making music your pro-
fession unless y ou hav e aplenty of money
to give y urself the best possible musical
education.
Don’t think that training in execution
and technique of the voice only is suf-
ficient. The professional singer should
be a perfect reader and well schooled in
counterpoint and harmony.
Don’t think the life Of a successful
singer is easy. The more successful the
singer the more she becomes a slave to
her profession.
Don’t make a practice of humming. It
tires the voice.
Don’t practice long at a time, especial-
ly if you are just beginning. It is much
better to practice little and often.
Don’t eat just before singing. A hearty
meal several hours before and a light
stimulating refreshment just before you
sing are much better. '
Don’t drink wine for a stimulant. It
is not only drying. to the throat, but is
tqo strong a stimulant. A person needs
to be especially self composed when sing.
mg.
Don’t indulge in mannerisms and
catchy originalities in rendering, your se-
lections. A natural manner and sincere
singing are much more pleasing and de
sirable.—Boston Journal.
A Mean Lot of Bridegrooms.
One of our city clergymen' tells this:
“I have had some funny experiences with
grooms who have failed to pay me any-
thing. One man came to me‘onc' day
and asked me how much I charged. I
told him that we charged nothing, but
he could give me what he liked. I mar-
ried him, and he promised to pay me,
but never did. ‘Not long after another
couple, who had been sent by the others,
came in, and‘I married them, the groom
promising to give me a. fee,.but nothing
came of it. Some time after there came
still another couple who had been sent
by the previous one. The groom declared
he was dead broke. I told him how the
othershad treated me, but he promised
faithfully to pay me in the future, and I
tied the knot. That has been some time
ago, and he has not yet fulfilled his
promise. I have had a good many such
cases.’
Another minister in this city says.
“The only fee that I remember not to
have received was after I had married a
man who was well able to have given me
a good one. I do not think he was to
blame, howeverufor I have always sus-
pected the best man as having appropri—
ated it for his own services in the affair.”
—Baltimore Herald.
The Ceremonial Use of Tobacco.
Since the worldwide diffusion of the
' tobacco habit its earliest and perhaps
original use has been in a great meas-
ure overlooked. With the aborigines of
America 8:11: kind and its kindred prac-
tices were 1.1.. mere sensual gratificaé
tions, but tobacco was regarded as an
herb of ptculiar :1 11d mysterious sancti—
ty, and its use was deeply and intimately
interwoven with native rights and core-
monies- _
With mason able certainty the pipe
may be 1 onsi dew-:1 1s an implement the
use of '11-.1: ch 1.1: as miginally confined to
the priest. medicine man, or sorcerer, in
whose hands it was :1 means of commu-
nication between savage man and the
unseen spirits with which his universal
doctrine of animism invested every ob-
ject that came under his observation.
Similar to this use of the pipe was its
employment in the treatment of disease,
which in savage philosophy is thought
to be the work of evil spirits—John
Hawkins in Popular Science Monthly.
High Prices For a Violin.
.A violin dated 1734 and said to have
been made by Stradivarius in his nine-
tieth year was sold in London lately
for £800. During the last 20 years this
violin has changed hands three times, on
the first occasion being bought for £400
and on the second £01 £600. —London
Tit-Bits.
