Masked men entered tlie house of Leonard
Bonner, a farmer in Baldwin Township, Pa.,

af the family until Bonner disclosed the hid-

fearful agony. The robbery was committed
iu the early part of Friday night, and the vie-

gained an entrance to the place by first killing
the watch dog. Mr. Bonner was awakened by
the barking of the dog, and was about to get
up to call him when the noise ceased suddenly.

TRAINING NAUTCJI GIRLS.
INDIA’S FAMOUS DANCERS
ARE TRAINED.
A Curious 14s«abli*linicnt Where the

l.essiin»-’Fhc KcaiuMul lihangvc.
In a recently published work by Mrs.
Leonowcns occurs the following with re¬
gard to the famous dancing girls of
India:
The Nautchnces’s establishment was a
curious building surrounding by a high
walk We entered through a gate, and
were at once conducted by a courtyard couple of
old women across a with paved
planted all around the mongree,
oleander, and tall red and white rose
trees. Passing this, we were introduced
into a great bare ball, with low seats
ranged around the Avails, curtained all
along the farther end of the room, into
Avhich inner chambers seemed to open.
Here we took our places. One of the old
Avomen staid by us, Avhilc the other went
off to announce our visit to the head
lady of the establishment. Avhich
Tho great slave markets we
have all read so much about, where ten-
der young girls are bought and sold as
if they were cattle, no longer exist in
British India, but the amount of traffic
of the kind that is still carried on every-
where is incredible, although the fact is
vigorously denied by both the buyer and
the seller. In many cases these Nauch-
nees are not bought, but hired for a term
of years, for money paid not to the girls
themselves, but to parents or friends. In
the course of time the parents die or
move away, and the girl after having
given her best days to her employers,
finds herself without money friends or
social ties, and is glad enough to spend
the remainder of her life in instructing establish-
the younger members of the

ural to Oriental women, she considers

At my especial request we were shown
into the exercising room aud almost over
tho entire establishment There were
over one hundred girls, of all ages and
shades of complexion from dark brown
to a pale, delicate olive, going hall through
their exercise at the time. The was
composed of bamboo trelhs-Avork, and
Avas light, spacious, and airy enough.
From the roof hung all sorts of gym-
nastic apparatus, rude, but curious—
ropes to which the girls clung as they
whirled around on tiptoe; wheels on
which they Avero made to walk in order
to learn a peculiar circular dance called
“chakranee” (from “chak,” a wheel);
slip-knots into Avhich they fastened one
arm or one leg, exercised thus holding the other; it motion-

revolving balls, Avhich they sprang up to
catch, and heaps of fragile cords, with
Avhich they spin round and round,
and if any one of these snap
under too great a pressure they
are punished, though never very severely.
Altogether, girls it Avas a strange fourteen sight.
Most of the from ten to
had nothing on but a short, tight gar-
ment; the older ones had tight short-
sleeved bodices in addition to this gar-
ment, and those under ten were naked.
They Avere all good-looking; a few here
and there were beautiful. The delicate
and refined outline of their features, the
soft tint of their rich complexions, the
dreamy expression added of their large, dark,
quiet eyes, to great symmetry fascinating. of
form, made them strangely
The teachers were all midule-aged
women, some of whom looked prematurely
old. The girls are taught to repeat poems
and plays, but no books are used.
The dormitories in this establishment
were bare rooms; the girls all slept on
mats or cushions on the floor. Each had
a lota, or drimking-cup, a little mirror,
and a native box in which to keen her
clothes. The more finished and accom-
nlished Nautchnees had rooms to them-

of Thur in Cutch, and sold to this cstab

was almost, as ignorant of her parent¬
age as a newly-born babe. At the time
of our visit she had been hired with a
party of Nautchnees to assist in the mar¬
riage celebration which was to take place
at the house of a rich Bunyah, or Hin¬
doo grain merchant.
These Nautchnees often marry well and
become chaste wives and mothers of
large families. The four requisites for
a Nautchnec are bright eyes, line teeth,
long hair, and a perfect symmetry of
form and feature. A small black mole
between the eyebrow’s or on cither cheek
will enhance her value to an extraordi¬
nary degree.

from head to foot, and entirely conceal
the dress.

the most elegant sent out by Fingat,

brown velvet, and, like most new things,

nament them. There are also poppy

the entire f garment, jackets shown to

A sporting paper contains an article
entitled “How to prevent Accidents in
the Game of Base-ball.” This difficulty
may be overcome by the substitution of
garden-digging for base-ball. A yonxig
man who is digging garden never gets
injured by running the bases or by the
bat flying out of another player’s hand.
