WOULD SOLVE THE IRRIGATION
QUESTION IN EA8T INDIA,
Calcutta, Feb. 25.—Tho Introduc
tion of the American system of driv
en wells, pumps anJ windmills, as
would come very near solving the
problem of l-ripatlon in India,
th * -.vulties in the way are—
the (Kivcrty of tho Indian farmer, his
want {<f mechauica! ingenuity, and
his prejudice against modern machin
ery and methods. American manu
facturers of woU-boring machinery,
pumps anJ windmills 6ould pave tho
way to u big market for their goods
by rxiiendlijfr a few fbousand dollars
in introducing by practical exploita
tion. their machinery and goods.
TWO KINDS OF GIRLS.
There are two kluds of girls In
this nnd every other com unity. One
is the kind that appears at all the
parties, rides, visits balls and plays
cards and whose chief delight is in
such things.
Th 0 other is the one that appears
best at home,'the girl that is useful
and cheerful in tho dining room, sick
room and all the precincts of home.
They differ widely In character. One
is after n torment at home the other
a blessing.
One is a moth consuming everything
about her—the other a sunbeam. In
spiring light unJ gladness around the
pathway.
The right education will modify both
a little and thus unite tho good quali
ties of both In one.
