THE GIRLS OF KASHMIR. !Wky They Are Not as Beautiful wtm Tkey Once Were. The girls of Kashmir in former times were sold and curried away to the Punjab, in India. They commanded a large price, and parents in moderate circumstances for centuries past have . been in the habit of parting with their ; daughters to place themselves in easier circumstances, and the daughters have generally been quite willing to escape from a life of penury and labor to one of opulence and ease. A laboring man in this part of India cannot earn over $2 or $3 a month, nrHUia mnnr for their daughters Tf iiilV utuuj wv. ^ as high as $1,000. There are some eases "Where $5,000 was paid, but the usual price has been from $100 to $500. ' The practice became so common as well as so damaging that a severe law was enacted prohibiting any one from removing any woman from the country, but it is said that the business goes on now as it has done for hundreds of years, and to that practice may be charged the fact that the women of Kashmir are not as beautiful ?s they once were. The process of taking all the beautiful girls away, leaving only the ordi~ ' i.? nary and ugly ones to continue me race, has lowered the standard of beauty. Most of the women and girls perform field labor as much as the men, and their dress is of the coarsest and * plainest materials, consisting of a garment like a nightgown made of white cotton. There is no effort to have it fit. The condition of women in Kashmir Is a very sad one, but one from which there does not seem to be any present escape. It is a constant struggle to ltve, without the least hope of any accumulation or of ever seeing better days. The men only receive about 5 cents a day and the women generally about 3 cents, and that will provide only the coarsest food.?Philadelphia Inquirer. PICKINGS FROM FICTION.

There are many useful purposes to which rosin can be applied outside of those of general practice. As a nonconductor of heat it is used in the protection of water pipes, particularly in crossing bridges, where the pipe is laid in the middle of a long box and the whole filled with melted rosin. Rosin is also used in supporting basement ^ floors in machine shops, which may be laid over 9ome dry material, as spent molding sand, which is carefully leveled off, and the planking laid upon temporary supports separating it about two inches above the sand. Numerous holes about two inches in diameter being bored through these planks, melted rosin is forced through them by means of funnels until the e-no/to filloH and thpn TW UViC IO CVitVi*J MMV* VMVM the upper flooring: is laid upon these planks. In case the floor is subjected to sleeks sufficient to break the rosin It rapidly joins together again in much the same manner as the regelation of ice. The Dragon Slayer.

Thousands From All Over the Country Make Pilgrimages to the Little Village Each Year?The Story That Is Handed Down by Tradition. There is 110 spot in all Mexico as dearly beloved as the little town of Guadalupe, which is two and a half miles north of the City of Mexico. The little village has only 3,000 souls, but many more thousands visit the place on certain days in the year when pilgrimages are made to the holy shrine of Guadalupe. The 1st of January and the 12th of 1- X-l lXLd?1 I.Ji. _ 1 ~ ~ ~ eacn moiiui me immiui wsil uns piu.ee and toil up the hill on -which it is said that the virgin Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego, an Indian boy. . According to tradition, .Tuan was trudging over the hill of Tepeyac on his way to the city on the morning of Dec. 9, 1531, and as he reached the eastern slope of the hill he heard sounds like music. He stopped to listen, and at that moment a cloud appeared and in the midst of it a beautiful lady. She told him to go to the bishop in her name and to tell him that It was her wish that a church should be built on that spot, where she would always be found to give aid to all In trouble. Juan Diego hurried to* the bishop with the story of the virgin, but no attention was paid to it. Upon his return home the lady appeared again In the same spot and urged Juan to go again to the bishop. The following day was the Sabbath, nnd after raass .Juan found the Disnop and repeated the message once more. The bishop told him to bring a sign from the virgin. Juan saw the virgin again upon his return home, and she promised to give him a sign, which she did 011 Dec. 12 as he was going to confession. Fie passed this time near the foot of the hill, where she appeared once more, and while In iversation with Juan she stamped r foot by way of emphasis, and water flowed at once from the dry, barren hillside, and two holy wells mark that spot today. The virgin then told Juan to climb to the summit of that barren rocky hill and he would find roses growing there, which he was to gather and carry in bis "tilma" to the bishop. Juan did as he was told and found ihe loveliest roses growing just where she had told bim to search for them. He gathered Lhem all and placed them in his "tilma," a sort of blanket. When he arrived at the house of the hichor* nnrJ nrmnerl the hlankpf. the roses fell to the floor, and a picture in colors appeared on. the blanket representing: the virgin as she bad appeared to Juan. The bishop fell on his knees in prayer and arose with a promise to build/a chapel on the spot the virgin had designated. Bishop Zumarraga set about to build the church, and when it was completed the "tilma" was placed above the altar in a frame of gold andosilver. That little chapel has since been replaced by the magnificent church to be seen today. There are also two other churches to mark the spot an which the roses were gathered on the summit und at the holy well where the virgin last appeared to Juan. This miracle was recognized in 16(53. and in 1754 it was fully sanctioned aDd confirmed by a papal bull. loiter, in 1824. congress decreed Dec. 12 to be a national holiday. Hidalgo took a picture of Guadalupe for his standard, around which rallied the first army of the revolutionists, und the happy issue that her assistance l'iiva tn that war pndearod her still more to the people. This picture on the "tllma" is a wonderful piece of work. Artists from all over the world have examined it and have testified that it Is of no known style of painting. The Indian garment of ixtli fiber is of i coarse weave. The picture appears on both sides of the cloth and is as bright as new, although said to be over 300 years old. The Church of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, in which this marvelous picture bangs, is said by experts to be one of the richest and handsomest on earth today. Its treasures can be counted by millions. It was dedicated May 1, 1700, and is 184 feet long by 122 feet wide. It has a vaulted roof, supported by Corinthian columns. The whole is surmounted by a dome, the lantern of which is 125 feet above the floor. The building cost $1,181,000. The jewels, gold and silver plate ana other rich belongings nearly all belong to the government and are estimated st $2,000,000 more. The church possesses a very costly crown for the virgin. It is of solid gold and weighs many pounds. There are six shields on the crown for the six archbishops of Mexico, and they are all surrounded by diamonds. There are a Dumber of angels, each having an immense ruby on the breast, while the rest of the surface of the crown is covered with sapphires and emeralds. This crown Is surmounted by the Mexican eagle, holding aloft a large diamond cross. The poor pilgrims are not able, many of them, to form an idea of the richness of this church, with its communion rail and balustrades from the sanctuary to the choir of solid silver.

There are many instances of where a suitable catch line well drilled into people has been of great value in building business. The best catch line is one that tits your business best, and the discoverer of such a line is apt to be due more to inspiration than to effort. I-ick the distinctive feature of your stock or business methods and endeavor to express it in a breath. If you can coiu a phrase that expresses your central business idea or emphasizes some feature that marks your store alone, you can make good use of it. It puts iuto condensed form an idea that will get hold of people and influence them if persistently presented to them. One fact about your business well lodged in the beads of people is as good as a score mat qo not penetrate. You can make people believe about what you like if you go about it properly. If a man comes to you today and tells you there will be a panic inside of six months, you will pay no attention to liim. If another comes tomorrow with the same story, he will get no attention, but you will idly wonder what is getting into folks. The third man you will argue the matter with. The fourth will get more of a hearing, and you will begin to see signs of disaster yourself. By the time the teuth man has made tbe statement you will be ready to tell folks the same story yourself. Probably you yourself could not be influenced in such a manner, but the common run of people are built that way and will believe what they are told often enough. That is why an expressive catch phrase does good. It comes to stand for you and your methods and of necessity is remembered when goods in your line are wanted. As ordinarily used such a phrase is of little value, because it is not properly hammered into people. Such a line should go on letter heads, billheads, stationery, envelopes, should go into 'every ad. or circular, should be seen about the store and should appear on labels. Put it on a sticker to attach to goods and packages. Let people see it everywhere. If it means what it says, people are going to respond ?American Druggist All Were Saved.
