struck the pavement, sustaining
as a result a severe injury and
losing miuch blood. The acci-
dent occurred on North Main St_
just in front of the First Pres-
byterian Church. As this paper
goes to press the doctor has not
yet given an examination to see
whether or not tn^ skull has
been fractured.
Clarence Wbit&was the first
man to the rescue of the unfort-
unate man and stopped the horses
before they further dragged and
mutilated the body. Others came
up and helped place the man in
the wagon and assisted him to
some relief.

oming.
A Cleveland manufacturer hired a
private^seferetary not many months
ago. H$"nad never had one before,
but he thought he could afford, the
luxury. And luxury it was, fcfr the
young man found little to do. One
day, however, a real job came his
way.
“Smith,” said his employer, “I
•want you to figure out for me how
we can cut down office expenses. I’ve
been over the whole thing carefully,
but I can’t find out where we are
ipendirfg any money unnecessarily.
|But still it’s a bit too much. If
you’ll find oujt where we can save $50
a month I’ll add the amount to your
jalary.”
The secretary figured for an hour
or two and then announced that he
was ready to report.
“Have you found the leak asked
tire manufacturer^-
• “Yes, sir.”- 1
^/“Good boy! Bet’s hear it.”
“You pay $50 for a private secre-
itary, and then you do- all the work
iyourseli. You have absolutely no
juse for a private secretary. If you’d
iget rid of me you’d save that $50 a
jmoifth.”
“That’s so. But you’re knocking
yourself out of a job.”
“No, I’m not. You’ve promised
me a raise of $50 for showing you.
He got the raise.

CONSTANT DEMAND FOR GOLD
East India Takes Far More Than Its
Share of the Riches Taken
• From the Earth.
; 11
Few people realize the extent to
which gold is hoarded in India, or
the etrange uses to whiqh it is put.
The bulk of hoarded wealth id In-
jdia is buried, so that at the present
time nearly all the gold dug from the
earth in South Africa is by a fresh
digging operation deposited again
|>eneath the soil in south Asia. It
seems practically assured that the
total imports of gold to India dur-
ing 1912 are not only a fresh record,
but will attain a total not less than
$135,000,000, or 28 per cent, of the
world’s output.
Consumption of gold does not im-
ply in America the actual swallowing
of extremely thin gold leaves for
medicinal purposes, but it is so taken
in parts of India. A frequent form
pf piety is to regild the domes of
religious buildings, and such opera-
tions can easily absorb $50,000 or
more. Sovereigns with- a shield on
ithe obverse are in constant request
jand an inquiry as to the ultimate
use of certain shipments of some
{thousands of pounds revealed the cu-
rious fact that a rajah of rococo
tastes had imported them to forrn”^

TRAINING FOR HINDU WOMEN

Movement^ on Foot to Give Them
Some 8ort of Knowledge of
Household Work.
Even in India the idea of the ne-
cessity of efficient training for the
administrative work incumbent upon
the mistress of a household is gain-
ing ground. “Till a fe^ years ago,”
writes the Haharani of Baroda, “the
one calling for which woman was
supposed to require no training was
household management. Knowledge
of the subject was presumed to be
inborn in her, and she entered cheer-
fully on her duties as housekeeper,
without any fixed notion of how to
cany out her task, or'without pos-
sessing even a definite idea of the
work in front of her. Men have al-
ways had a certain discipline in the
special lines they have undertaken.
Poor woman alone, to whose lot falls
the difficult business of organizing
the household, has, until lately, been
left to “muddle, through” without
-any instruction, and has, in conse-
quence, often suffered harassing fail-
ures in her special domestic domain.”
And the Maharani suggests the ad-
. department of the yisability of Hindu women emulating
