filthy bird that befouls its own nest.”

could not help me. I tried Foley’s
Kidney Cure and the very first dose
gave me relief and I am now cured.

A Woman s Cnmplezio n.
It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallow ness or greasiness
of the sHn by the use of cosmetics,
or “local” treatment, as advocated
by the “beauty doctors.” The only
safe and sure way that a woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green’s August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the
complexion. It also cures consti
pation, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
hnown to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle
25 cents; regular size 75 cents. At

Child Marriages in India.
More than 250,000 girls in India, 5
years of age or less, were already mar
ried when the last census was taken,
and of these necessarily many have
become widows. Between 5 and 10
years the number of married girls was
w'ell over 2,000,000, between 10 and 15
years it had risen to nearly 7,000,000.
Of course, to the girls in the first two
categories marriage meant nothing
more than a contract entered into for
them by others, long before they them
selves were capable of understanding
it; many of them had been bound by
engagements when they were still chil
dren in arms; some had even been be
trothed before they were born.
Most of the widows of such tender
years become so before they know what
widowhood means. It is only as they
grow out of infancy that they learn the
sad life to which they are condemned,
a life of misery which is inconceivable
to people of western countries, yet is
enforced by Hindoo customs. It is a
life of hardship, of unmerited shame, of
irksome penances and of wearisome at
tendance at religious functions.
Though the English law in India
would recognize the legality of a re
marriage of these youthful widows, in
exorable custom forbids it and its oc
currence is rare. There were in India
in 1901 nearly 426,000 widows under 15
years of age, of which nearly 20,000
were less than 5 years old.
Measuring Eye Jumps.
We know that an eye, at ordinary
reading distance, takes in about one
inch of a line at a time, and that in
reading a line of an ordinary book the
eye makes five or six (more or less,
according to the length of the line) dis
tinct jumps. But how many know
what direction the eye takes in making
these jumps? And, as the movements
are so very minute and rapid, how have
they been studied? Avery ingenious
means has been employed, as follows:
A beam of light is thrown upon the
cornea of the eye under examination,
and this beam is reflected by the cor
nea on to a photographic plate. As the
eye moves in reading the reflected beam
also moves, and upon developing the
plate, which is also kept moving, a zig
zag line is x found. A study of such
photographic tracings shows that the
eyes in turning back to pick up the
next line have some difficulty in so do
ing.
The longer the line of print the great
er the effort, and for this reason we
may conclude that a narrow line is bet
ter for an eye than a long one, and if
the line be much wider than the ordi
nary newspaper column there is great
er effort involved. —Jewelers’ Circular
