standing, that with singular aud sover-
eign disregard for veracity, in the re-
stricted sense of the word, there do
exist fidelity TO engagement and a
staunchness in fulfilling conditions,
which amount to not less than a national
characteristic. There is high caste
called Bhats, who are now engaged in
agriculture and service, and have no
specially except singing legends and re-
lating stories; but in former days they
we're employed TO carry jewelry or arti-
les Of value from place to place. All

FunIn France.

Writing from Paris, September 10, the
correspondent Of the London Daily
News says; The bicycle races, under
the patronage of Mile MacMahon and
for the benefit of the sufferers by the in
undations, took place to day in the Tuil-
leries gardens, but did not attract so
many spectators as might have been ex-
pected. Many rows of reserved seats,
at the moderate price of two francs, re-
msined vacant. Mile MacMahon was
not there in person, and | saw nobody Of
note in the small extemporized grand
stand. The order of the course was pre-.
cisely that Of the Grand Prix at Long
champs A sonorous bell warned the
competitors to come to the starting-point
A correct card was 10 every hand; the
bicyclists wore jockey costumes. white
caps, flannel jackets and breeches for
the most part, but with distinguishing
scarfs Of various colors. Ribbed cotton
stockings and highlows we're the invaria-
Bile harness on the legs.
The course was short one, extending
only from the reserved gardens along
the main alley around the basin OF water
toward the Place de Concorde and
back again. In the principal race Of
eight thousand meters this space had to
be traversed many times, and it was as
tonishing to see the short turns taken
repeatedly without accident. The action
of the veloeipedists resembled greatly
that OF jockeys on horseback. They
craned forward in the same way, and a
sudden view might beguile one into the
belief that willis rapidly manipulating
the tourniquet in front of them they we're
pulling aud guiding a hard-mouthed
horse. In what for want of knowing the
technical term must call the weighing
ground, / was struck with the fine,
healthy appearance Of the young ath-
letes. Most of them belong TO the Paris
Velocipede Club. As at Longchamps,
before starting the racers promenaded
gently up and down to give their back

ions.
The start was effected by sound of

All the Year Round
1t is a common expression on the lips
of those who have travelled in India:
"The natives have no regard for truth
it seems easier to them to lie, and they
prefer doing so. And yet no one can
have much intercourse with the inhabi-
tants of India without finding out that,
in many respects, they are on especially
trustworthy race. The explanation OF
this APPARENT paradox may perhaps lie
10 the circumstance that the natives
draw q wide distinction between spoken
and acted truth. For instance, it is a
well-know fact that the fidelity Of bank.
ers was so great before the English rule
that breach OF trust in their case was
quite unknown, and bankruptcy is ad-
mitted to be transaction they have
learned wholly from their conquerors.
Indeed, all business dealings we're singu.
larly straightforward and bona hde. But
the unfortunate notion seems to have
prevailed from the first in Hindoostan
that language was chiefly intended to
conceal ones thoughts.

question correctly he wishes to know why
II was asked. His first replies, there
fore, are eQuivocal and when to this ele-
ment Of caution is added tho atmosphere
OF miracles and wonder surrounding all

already forthcoming why spoken truth
