A profound silence followed this COM
mand, which all who heard it under
stood as a sentence of death against the
unfortunate man whose only offence
consisted in having been too indulgent
to the animals under his charge.
But in Dude to hear was to obey, even
more blindly than in the East generally,
and the lion-Beeper, with his face
blanched and his eyes rolling wildly,
salaamed to the ground and withdrew.
At the same instant slight noise was
heard in the women's gallery below,
and as some of us bent over to ascertain
the cause, we saw one of the bamboo
railings torn from its fastenings and a
light figure fill the opening and leap
lightly to the ground. 1t was Numah, a
nautch girl, whom the king had just
bought from the dishonest nautch wal
lah, with whom she had agreed to dance
for q certain time. Her home, her lover,
were now lost to her forever, and she
sought to save the poor mans life at the
cost of her own.
The king saw her as soon as any of us,
and an expression of terror crossed his
face, but Immediately gave way to fero-
cious satisfaction.
ct is well done, Numah, shouted he.
"Go and tell the admee-kanawallah
your sorrows and your wrongs. He will
console you"
The nautch girl turned and raised her
eyes to the royal gallery.
death will comfort me, o king" I"
said she, salaaming low, with the supple
grace inseparable from her every move
ment. Then she walked firmly and
fearlessly toward the man-eater, who
watched intently her approach, and with
neck and tremulous nostrils seemed to
question her intentions.
Arrived within arms length of him,
Numah paused and sank upon her knees,
crossing her arms and bowling her head
as in submission to her fate.
A silence like that of death reigned
throughout the place, broken at last by
the grating sound of the horses hoofs, as,
cautiously moving them, he approached
her step by step, and finally stood
directly over her, his head grazing her
shoulder, while nostril, eye and ear were
evidently alert to satisfy the mind of
their master.
Ma halla! he will not hurt her," ex-
claimed the king; and indeed the man
eater had no intentions of so doing, for
he was now resting his chin on the girls
shoulder, and whinnying with satisfac-
ton.
Numah, more surprised than any one,
raised her head, looked in the eyes of
the animal, rose cautiously to her feet.
and laid her hand upon his name. The
man-eater whinnied again and rubbed
his head against her shoulder.
An irrepressible burst of applause
tiled the royal gallery, raised by the
European spectators. After an instants
hesitation it was joined by the king.
"Shavash, Numah! Bravo, girlr'
shouted he, clapping his hands. "You
have conquered the conqueror OF
Burrhea and shall be rewarded. Ma
wah, see that Numah receives five thou
sand rupees and is sent back safe to her
home with the horse"

A Little Romance of Broadway.

Three pretty young girls from Jersey
City had left the ferryboat to walk up to
the Elevated road, says a New York let
ter, and unluckily were provided with
only one whalebone and silk covering
for their heads The narrow sidewalk
made it almost impossible for the three
to walk abreast, and consequently one
ofthem, who was addressed as Annie, re-
ceived all the drippings from the caves
of the umbrella upon her unselfish head.
A gentleman walking just behind
them noticed this, and tried, as unob-
trusively rs possible, to shelter her with
his own. For block or so she ignored
the attempt, but finally was forced, in
crossing the street, to accept the cour-
tesy, which she did with an embarrassed
bow. 1t happened that the youth had
been well brought up, and understood
her fear lest he should in any way take
advantage of his courtesy to be imper-
tinent, and being of a rather mischiev-
Gus turn of mind, he waited until he
caught her eye, as she looked slyly up,
when. assuming that "far" look so often
seen on the faces of the deaf and dumb,
he pathetically touched his finger to his
lips, and shook his head.
The girl looked so immensely relieved
that he came near laughing right out !;
especially when announced that he was
speechless she showed she wasn't by
quietly observing to one of her friends,
"Oh, Mary, isn't it too bad this hand
some young man is deaf and dumb?"
Mary thought it was, and wondered
how it was he ever got along in the world.
and, much to the amazement of this
knight of the umbrella, the three pro-
ceeded to discuss him girl-fashion, and
from the color of his eyes to the cut of
his clothes he was fully criticised,
"Annie " deciding that, as Il husband,
he would be sans reproche, never swear
ing, never scolding, making silence
golden.
When they reached the station the
three girls bowed and smiled and
grimaced their gratitude, when, to their
profound horror, the youth, witha sweet
smile, raised his hat, remarking, with
painful distinctness, that he was very
happy to have been of service" With a
suppressed shrek, the merry maids
rushed up the winding stairs, and the
youth walked on, whistling Beautiful
Is-er-bellar"

Making the Deaf Hear.

A new invention called the audiphone
has recently been perfected. 1t is sim

lied rubber, slightly bent and he'd in

contact with the upper teeth. The thin
rubber fan receives the vibrations and
conveys them through the teeth Hon.

editor of this paper has been deaf for II
number of years, and that during that
time he has used all the devices for i'm

them were however, satisfactory. He
has tried the audiphone for some weeks,
and finds that it not only improves his
hearing, but restores the sense ofhearing
to him. Not merely does it answer when
engaged in conversation with a person
who is a foot, or few feet from him,
but it answers perfectly at a concert

81 Can Swim, Sir"

During terrible naval battle between
the English and Dutch, the English ilaS-
ship, commanded by Admiral Mar
borough, was drawn into the thickcst OF
the fight Two masts were soon shot
away, and the mainmast fell with n fear
hll crash upon the deck. Admiral Mar
borough saw that all was lost unless he
could bring up his ships from the right.
Hastily scrawling an order, he called FOR
volunteers TO swim across the boiling
water, under the hail of shot and shell.
A dozen sailors at once offered their
Sc vices, and among them IA cabin boy,
"Why," said the admiral, what can
you do, my fearless ladP"
q can swim, SIR the boy replied
"if l be shot, | can be easier spared than
any one else.
Marlborough hesitated, his men were
few, and his position was desperate.
The boy plunged into the sea amid the
cheers of the sailors, and was soon lost
TO sight. The battle ragged iiercer, and
as the time went on defeat seemed in
evitable But Just as hope was fading II
laundering cannonade was heard from
the right, and the reserve We're seen
bearing down upon the enemy. BY sun
set the Dutch fleet were scattered fan
and wide, and the cabin boy, the hero
of the hour, was called to receive the
honor due him. His modesty and bear
/ ing so won the heart of the old admiral
! that he exclaimed:
- shall live to see you have a Nag
! ship of your own
The prediction was fulfilled when tho

Cure for DYSnenSia.

Milk and lime water are now fire.
quently prescribed by physicians in
cases of dyspepsia and weakness of the
stomach, and in some cases are said to
prove beneficial. Many persons who
think good bread and milk great luxury
frequently hesitate TO eat it, for the rea-
son that milk will not digest readily;
sourness of the stomach will often fol-
low. But experience proves that lime
water and milk are not only food and
medicine at an early period of life, but
also at later, when, as in the case Of
infants, the functions of digestion and
assimilation have been seriously i'm
paired. A stomach taxed by gluttony,
irritated by improper food, inflamed by
alcohol, enfeebled by disease, OF other
wise untitled for its duties-as is shown
by the various symptoms attendant upon
indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, dysen-
terry and fever-may resume its work,
and do it energetically, on an exclusive
diet of bread and milk and lime-water.
A goblet of cows milk may have cur
tablespoonfuls Of lime water added to it
with good effect. The way to make
lime-water is simply to procure a few
Jumps of unslakeG lime, put the lime in
a stone jar, add water until the lime is
slaked and about the consistency of thin
cream; the lime settles, leaving the pure
and clean lime-water at the top. Great
care should be taken not to get the lime
water too strong. Keep to the direction
us to the consistency, and when the
water rises pourit off without obtaining
any of the lime. The lime-water is also
very good to apply to burns and scalds
In shaking the lime, particular care
should be taken that none of the parti
clcs fly into the eyes.

Water and Disease.

A book has recently appeared in Leip-
sic in which the author, Professor jaeger,
maintains that an increased proportion
of water in the tissues and hum rs OF
the body is one Of the most essential
conditions of liability to disease. We
guard against disease if we attend to
making the body yield as much water as
possible through skin and lungs, and
avoid all that favors the accumulation
of water. Jager recommends: l.
Wearing close-titting woolen clothing
throughout the year 2. From time to
time engaging in bodily movements
which promote perspiration, on which
account he regards vigorous gymnastlc
exercises in schools as an important
preventive of disease among children.
8. On an outbreak of disease, the use
of vapor or sweating baths, of drinks
that excite perspiration (tea, coffee,
etc. }, and of food that does the same
(strongly seasoned, especially with
Spanish pepper). A. Constant ventila-
tion of sitting and bedrooms, so that the
moisture of the air may not become
great. The author holds that the spe-
cific gravity of "A living body is an ac'
curate criterion for the strength OF con
stitution of man or a domestic animal
! /. e., for its capability of resistance tC
causes of disease (chills, infection, etc. }
and its power ofwork, bodily and mental
