CROWDED JAVA.
Twenty-four Million People on an Island the Size of New York State.
Eliza Ruhamab Scidmore, author of “Jinricksha Days,’’ writes a paper entitled ‘Prisoners of State at Boro Boedor,’’ for The Century. It is an account of the visit of two American ladies to the vast Bud- dhist ruins in the middle of Jaya. Miss Scidmore says:
Every few miles there were open red tiled pavilions built over tha highways aa refuges for man and beast from the scorch- jog sun of one season and the cloudburst showers of the rainy half of the year. Twice we found busy passers going on in groves beside these resthouses—pictur- esque gatherings of men, women and chil- dren and -displays of fowls, fruits, nuts, vegetables, grain, sugar, spices, gums and flowers that tempted one to linger and en- joy and to photograph every foot of the passers’ area. The main road was crowd- ed all the way like a oity street, and around these passers the highway bummed with voices.
One can believe in the density of the population—24,000,000 people on this is- land of 49,197 square miles, about the size of the state of New York—when he sees the people trooping along these country roads, and he can well understand why every foot of land is cultivated, how even in the benevolent land of the banana every ope must produce something, must work or starve. Men and boys toiled to the passer, bent cver with the weight of one or two monstrous jackfruits or durians on their backs, A women with a baby swing- ing in the slandang over her shoulder had tied cackling chickens to the back of her belt and trudged on comfortably under ber umbrella, and a boy swung a brace of ducks from each end of a shoulder pole and trotted gayly to the passer.
The kampongs, or villages, when nos hidden in palin and plantain groves be- hind fancy Lamboo fences, were rows of open houses on each side of the highway, and we reviewed native Hfe at leisure while the ponies were changed. The friend- ly, gentle little brown people welcomed us with amused and embarrassed smiles when our curiosity as to sarong painting, Inc- quering and mat weaving carried us into the family circle. ‘The dark, round eyed, star eyed babies and children showed no fear or shyness, and the tiniest ones—their soft, little, warm, brown bodies bare of ever & garment save the cotton slandang in which they euddle so confidingly under the mother’s protecting arm—let ue lift and carry and play with them at will.

A Triumph Peculiar to Diamond Dyes,
Thousands of ladies in Canada now fully uoderstand that dyes preparedfer coloring goods cannot be used success- fully for the coloring of cotton and mixed goods.
The manufactures of Diamond Dyes have long ago overcome the difficulty, and now their special Cotton colors are chemical triumpbs.
The comnoivn imitations and soap grease dyes haveone all-round dye tor wool, cotton and wixed goods. ihe result is that thousands of women ure sadly disappointed when they use these crude dyes for coloring all cotton and mixed materials. The users of the imitation package dyes for their money and time get blotchy and muddy colors that cannot stand the first wash- ing.
The sixteen special Cotton colors 0 Diamond Dyes are wonderful discover ies unknown to makers of common dyes” Every color is clear, deep, brillant and fast asa rock. When you are about to dye cotton or mixed goods, ask your dealerfor the Diamond Dye Cotton colors, the only reiiable cotton colors in the world. Avoid adulterated and soap grease dyes if you would have perfect colors.

Proclaim in no Uncertain Sound the Pain | Annihilating Properties of South Ameri- | can Rheumatic Cure.
Here’s evidence enough to convince the most skeptical that South American Rheumatic Cure does all that is claimed for it. Mrs. Parkin, of Binbrook, com- pletely cured of sciatica with four bottles. W. McFarlane, of Hamiltor, laid up peveral weeks with acu'e rieumatism. Three bottles cured him. Mr. Sinclair, of Hamilton, over 70 years old, could not raise his hand to his head from rheuma- tism. Three bottles cured him. Mr. Adams, of Hamiiton—sciatica so bad he could not walk—cured in four days—and thousands more. Sold by Dr. 8. W. Dodd and Geo. E. Hug’ es. —_-
In the local elections in Kansas ties are decided by chance. Usually the contest- auts draw straws, Last Tuesday, however, six ties were settled by throwing dice. Four of these were in Bourbon county, and in every case the Populists won. The de- feated Republicans now assert that the dice were loaded.

DUTY OF PARENTS.
Wise Guidance Needed For the Youth Who Is Leaving Childhood Behind. “‘There is something pathetic in Bsiruggie of the child to cast asid child nature and pat on the natur manhood and wom:nhbood,’’ writes F loz ence Hull Winterburn in The Woman's Home Companion. ‘‘He is beset inter- nally by misgivings even while he is urged on by ambition. He wants he scarce knows what, but something new and never before possessed. Perhaps, in a nutshell, the great desire of his soul is to be left somewhat to himself, yet with sympathy within call, and to be trusted. It is a great evidence of tact now for the mother or father to say, with a kind smile:' ‘Do what you think best about this matter, my son. You

Happy responsibility! Delightful confi- dence! Infiuence is never stronger than when it withdraws slightly into the background, leaving its object apparent- ly free. A good deal is said nowadays about the extraordinary freedom our children have. Seemingly it is so. but looking here and there an observer notes little real change among the aver- age people.
‘‘A young friend of mine whose happy married life has not yet driven from her memory a cramped and im- bittered youth confided to me that the one idea that haunted her from 8 to 18 was that of running away from home. If she had been less conscientious, a lit- tle more reckless, whata gulf of ruin her innocent feet might have plunged into to escape the intolerable nagging and interference she was subject to in her father’s house!
‘“‘We little know what effect our thoughtless and meaningless words of comment and chiding for every small matter that goes wrong produce upon the half grown girl and boy. They are apt to be reserved and to become sullen under restraints they dislike, and when this sullen attitude once sets in we may say farewell to all confidential inter- course between parent and child. To
oh apa meets do well to apply all owr powers of tact and - ness. Let us avoid arousing the spirit of perverseness that stirs in every young creature &t this period of life, and, by~ enlarging his opportunities. for action | as his ambition extends, soothe any bud- ding revolutionary ideas and inspire in him the trust and confidence in parental benevolence that will be his safeguard when he needs advice and assistance, for youth never stands in deeper need of wise guidance than at this time when there isa desire to dispense with it. But the guidance must be so wise, so tactful, so gentle, taat even the most independent young soul will feel that love, and not force, is the motive power that draws him toward what is best, aud that he is restrained by nothing ex- cept his own honor and trained sense of right.’’
GIRL AS AN OFFICE BOY.
She Makes It Uncomfortable, It Seems, For Women Visitors.
Oftentimes a representative of the gen- tler sex is placed in the position of coor- keeper, and the uninitiated feels his heart grow glad when be gazes upon her face, for he is sure that he will receive ¢enth treatment at her hands. If he is young, good looking and well dressed, she cnnot be affable enough, but let his hair be well frosted with the snowsef Father Time and bis trousers be somewhat ‘‘fringy,’’ and she will be as indifferent to his appeals as the young man who formerly ocoupi«! her place. It is toone of her own sex, how- ever, that shecan best display her frigid manners. Let a woman, no matter whieth- er che be old or young, rich or poor, «nter the office, and the girl in charge stiffens im- mediately, while over the face of the «aller comes a look of despair, for she Loows what is coming.
“I wish to see Mr. ——," yenturca the caller.
Like icioles the words fall from the lips of the doorkeeper. ‘He is busy.’’
‘‘Please take my Dame in to him.”’
“He is busy, I tell you,’’ resurns the doorkeeper, investigating the oomtenw of her purse or examining her nails very closely.
‘‘I am sure he will see am here,’’ continues the very persistent.
The doorkeeper raises ber eyebrows in the most exasperating manner, then with asigh of utter weariness languidly rises from her seat, adjusts the plaitse in her skirt, returns to her desk for her handker- chief, then remembers that some papers need alteration, and finally, when the caller is almost reduced to tears, she leisurely makes a second attempt to follow out the
