TT is common belief that the Princes
of India can trace lineage back to the
times when the ancestors OF Queen Vic
'tOria were roaming untutored savages il,
their native woods. Such is not the fact,
however. Nearly all the native rulers OF
Lindostan are parvenus compared with
Guelphs and HoheDzsllerns. Of the
princes who welcomed Albert Edward to
BombRS, 1T is doubtful whether there
was one whose royal or princely rank
dated two centuries back, and most of
them are sprung from men who carved
out &iagdoms for themselves from the
WRECKS of the empire of the Moguls.
AFEATURE of the proceedings of the
Recorders Court at,Astoria, N. Y, was
the trial of rosy young woman of
eighteen, the picture Of health, wearing
rough suit of mems clothes, and look
ing like nice boy, for dressing in male
attire. She FIRST dopned mems clothing
in February last, and went to work ina
coal yard Then she shipped on board
q sthe United States steamer Powhatan,
deserted, obtained employment on other
vessels, and finally worked in some chem
ical factory. Here her sex was discov-
cred. She was discharged from custody
on her promise to resume her proper at

The British Admiralty has issued COM
.aa .manders of Her, Majesty's ships an
amended circular in regard to fugitive
slaves. 1t orders that any slave received
q on British man-ofwar ON the high seas
y shall be retained on board until he can
q be landed in the country or transferred
- TO a vessel where his liberty is secure.
81 Fugitive slaves asking admission to
British man-ofwar when in territorial
= waters of foreign State must only be
!, n admitted if their lives are endangered,
and must not be kept on board after the
danger is passed, but no demand for the

q 80 AFTER protracted debate, the Cali.
fornia Senate, by the casting vote of the
President, has passed resolution abol-
!, ishing the Office of Chaplain. The reso.
- luton declares that the appointment of
Chaplain is not absolutely necessary
for the public good, involv,s a prefer
w. ence as to the religious creeds, fosters
spirit of rivalry and contention among
them, breeds animosity aud heart burn
ings, lowers the dignity of the ministry
TO the arena of party politics, destroys
the solemnity of prayer by reducing it to
mere formula, tends to unite Church and
State, and makes an invidious distinc-
tion between the departments of govern
ment by giving a Chaplain to some and
denying it to others. .r- |
The New York Euening Post announ-
ces the death of Rev. Henry Boebm, bet
tel. known as Father Boehm, the Oldest
preacher of the Methodist Church in this
country, and probably the oldest clergy
man in the world, at tho house of his
granddaughter, Mrs. Richmond, Staten |
leland. On the 9Th of last June the one |
hundredth anniversary of his birth day
was celebrated by the New York Confer
ence, when Father Boehm submitted an
~ outline of his own life and labor in the
Methodist Church. He was chosen by
Bishop Asbury as his travelling compan-
ion in the spring os 1900, and he trav.
eled with him until 1913, when the
Bishop appointed him Presiding Elder of
the Schuylkilll District, composing the
whole territory from Wilmington to
Stroudsburg, between the Susquehanna
and Delaware. For more than thirty
years Father Boehm has been in the New
Jersey Conference, and as early as 1912
was on the list of superannuated preach
ers.
: By simple method, now much used
abroad, the inner diameter of tires which
have been unduly enlarged by the ham,
mer or the rolls is reduced with ease !.
The tire is heated to redness and then
plunged horizontally, but only to half
, Its breadth, in water, where IL is left until
cold. This operation is repeated in the
same position, ard afterward the tire is
turned, and the heating and plunging1
applied to the other half The first cool
ing produces contraction of which the
part not immersed partakes, and thus
undergoes molecular retraction, result
, ing In reduction of the diameter. The
same result is produced on the other halt
while undergoing the second operation.
, In this way tire has been reduced 7
= units in 895; and four immersions will
Z double the shrinkage. BY the method
