Servants in India.

Indian housekeeping is at once very
simple and paradoxically complex. Phe
fact that all servants are on board wages,
from the moonsilee, who takes tempo
rary engagement as secretary or tutor,
down to the humblest punkah, wallah or
grass-cutter, renders it comparatively easy
for master to know his expenses. But
then there is something bcwildcring in the
subdivision of labor, in having to harbor
tailors and cobblcrs, washermen and
watchmen, and florists and swcepcrs. 1t
is perplexing to find that every servant so
we'll knows his or her place that a palki-
bearer would scOrn to fetch pitcher of
water; that hereditary poultrykcepers at
tend the hens, hereditary grooms the
horses, and that not meal can be cooked
or carpet spread except by the agency of
somebody whose caste points him out as
the appropriate person to perform the
duty. An English resident, also, is apt to
be puzzled by the habit of the native do
nestle, strange t. our notions, of collect
ing around them clan Of relatives, old
and young, more or less dependent for sus-
tenance on the monthly wages of the
bread-winncr. These Followers" like
others of their plastic race, are by no
means obtrusive, and are content to be
tucked away in sheds or huts, or to lie
about the passages of some rambling villa,
while pipkin of grain and spoonful of
ghec comprises, With little cloth, their few
wants. Servants in India have two mcr-
its to counterbalance such faults as are in
herent in race remarkable for the subtle
ingenuity with which, on occasion, it can
cheat and lie. They are grateful, not
merely for exceptional kindness, but for
the bread and salt that they have eaten !;
and breach of trust is abhorrent to even
the elastic conscience of Hindoo, so that
the very man who takes the lead in plum
dering the sahib's store-room, when pit
ting his wits against the duller fancy of
his European employer, may be rendered
honest by being appointed dragon or
ordinary over the treasures it contains.--

Frightful Locomotive Explosion.

The boiler OF the engine Centralia, Of
the Easton & Amboy Railroad, exploded
on the morning of the list at the Raritan
siding near South Somerville, NJ. The

brook about seven a. m. with construc-
ton train, consisting of caboose and a
number of empty gravel-cars, for the pur-
pose of assisting in the repair OF the road.
The engine was attached to the rear of the
train and directly in front of it was the
caboose and another containing about
forty eight laborers. When the train
reached the siding, about two and
half miles west of Boundbrook,
it was run upon a side-track in
order to allow the eastern bound passen-
ger-train to pass. While standing here
the boiler of the engine, without any
warning, exploded, wrecking the loco
motive, shivering the caboose to atoms
and pouring steam and boiling water into
the car in front of it. The laborers occu-
plying the caboose, unconscious of dan
ger, were talking and laughing together,
and when the shock came were scattered
like leaves before a hurricane. Some of
them were blown through the roof and
sides and by the force. of the explosion
were lifted twenty or thirty feet into the
air. But eight men escaped uninjured.
Many were severely wounded by flying
fragments of the cars and engine and two
or three were fatally scalded. Five were
killed almost outright. The boiler was
carried high in the air and landed about
100 feet from the scene of the disaster.

many feet below him, to break his fall,

broke in one of his ribs and burst in one

Boundbrook was the scene of intense
excitement, as the explosion, though it
occurred two and half miles from there,
was distinctly heard. d-choppers
working several miles distant heard the
reverberations and hurried to the scene.
Many stories were atloat as to the cause of
the accident, but, in the excitement that
prevailed, it was impossible to ascertain
where the blame rests.

Sudden Thoughts.

Honesty and happiness seem to be alike

most of either seem to make the least fuss
about it.
Envy seems to be disease that every
body has and everybody is ashamed Of

Symptoms of Catarrh.

Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the
nasal passages, discharges falling from the
head into the throat, sometimes profuse,
watery and acrid, at others thick, tcna-
cious, mucous, purulent, bloody and putrid;
the eyes are weak, watery and inflamcd;
there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hack
ing or coughing to clear the throat, expecto-
ration of offensive matter, together with
scabs from ulcers; the voice is changed and
has a nasal twang, the breath is offensive,
smell and taste are impaired; there is sem
sation of dizziness, mental depression, hack
ing cough and general debility. Only a few
of the above-named symptoms are, however,
likely to be present in any one case. There
is no disease more common than Catarrh,
and less understood by physicians.
DIR. sAGE's CATARRH REMEDY
is beyond all comparison the best prepare
ton for Catarrh ever discovered. Under the
influence of its mild, soothing and healing
properties the disease soon yields. The
Golden Medical Discovery should be taken
to correct the blood, which is always at fault,
and to act specifically upon the diseased
glands and lining membrane of the nose.
The Catarrh Remedy should be applied marna
with DR.. Pierce's Nasal Domche-thc only in-
strumcnt by which fluids can be perfectly
injected into all the passages and chambers
of the nose from which discharges proceed.
These medicines are sold by Druggists.

Two NASHUA IN. H. merchants were
recently running each other on stockings.
The first trader marked down the speci-
mems at his door, and, after his rival had
passed and noted the change, resumed
the former prices. The trick was repeat

til the second trader was selling stockings
which cost at wholesale twenty-five cents
for five cents. This was the first traders
opportunity. He engaged the services of
several girls and boys, and before the Sec

d" All Run Down.

This is an expression that we hear from
doctors when they are in doubt about
the nature Of the disease of their patients.
The country seems to be flied with such
cases, and they are trying first one remedy
and then another, hoping in vain to find
relief. They generally have the following
symptoms: 4 gsneral depression Of spirits,
in the head when rising up suddenly, foul
breath, with bad taste in the mouth,
especially in the morning, pain in the sides
and back, urine scanty and high colored,
frequently voided with difficulty, frequent
headaches, distressed feeling at the pit of
the stomach, food affording no nourishment.
The patient feels tired all the while, and
sleep affords but little rest. After time
dry, hacking cough sets in, followed after q
time with expectoration, hands and feet cold
and clammy at times, . general wasting Of
the body. In such cases we need q remedy
that win act upon the liver kidneys, stomach
and blood at the same time, and when we
use such a remedy it affords relief. The
best article for this purpose is the SHAKER
EXTRACT OF RooTs, sold by A. J. White, $40

value of the pieces. Thus, if we take as
our measure the chance of safe check,
the values of the knight, bishop, rock and
queen are in the ratio IL, IL, A,37, while
the values of these pieces in the same
order, as given by Staunton, are 8. O5, $50,
5.40 and 9.94, the value of the pawn being
taken as unity. Mr.. Taylor remarks that
the value of a pawn depends so much on
the fact that it is possible to convert it
into queen that the method does not ap-
near aDDlicable to it.
