Fasting for Ninety Days.

A religious mendicant of the Jain caste
has just completed ninety-one days
fast at Pahlanpur. An eyewitness de-
scribes in Surat paper the appearance
of the man on the last day of the pen
ance ssThe SAINT says the writer,
underwent fast of eighty-six days
last year, and has been more or less
accustomed to this form of infiiction.
When seen on the ninety-frst day of the
recent fast, his veins were much swollen,
and he seemed to speak only with great
effort. He was seated on blanket in q
corner, and had near him the sour water
of curdled milk, which he sometimes
drank. He seemed, however, to be
capable of physical exertion, and up to
the last day procured the curdled-milk
water for himself. He was all along
4engrossed in prayer, and held no COM
munication with other men, except on
religious topics. The man spent his
life in strict asceticism. and has denied
himself all food and luxury save what
NAV be got from the milk water, bread
and yellow rice His bedding consists
of an ordinary blanket and nothing
more Many Jains undergo penance in
the shape of fasts and other self-infiic-
tions, but it is said that this mans eff

by even the most devoted co-religionistss
and he has drawn to himself a large
following of Shrawaks. He accepts,
however, no presents and no fees.

About Spelling.


Mark Twain has his little fling at those
peculiarities of English spelling which
retard the proficiency of dull scholars.
He says: There are one hundred and
fourteen thousand words in the una
t,ridged dictionary. know lady who
can spell only one hundred and eighty
of them right. She steers clear of, the
rest. She can't learn any more. se
So her letters always consist of those
constantly recurring one hundred and
eighty words. Now and then when she
finds herself obliged to write upon a sub
ject which necessitates the use of some
other words, she-well, she don't write
upon that subject. gsHi es

almost sublimely gifted. She can'1spell
any word right. There is game called
Verbarium. A dozen people are each
provided with sheet of paper, across
the top of which is written a5dong w ord
!. like kaleidoscopical, or something like
that, and the game is to see who can
make mp the most words out of thsst in
three minutes, always beginning with
the initial letter of the word. ssa 9d
Upon one occasion the word chosen
was rotterdam. When time was called
everybody had built from five to twenty
words, except this yovng lady. She had
only one word-cah We all studied q

"A snake of an unknown Kind running
along in the low grass was pursued to
some rails that lay in a loose pile on

position. 1t was, however, a close
enough imitation to cause one, on hear
ing it, TO get out of the way of harm. .f

Another Mean Man.

Is prosperous Kentucky farmer. It had
long been his custom, whenever he had
letter to write, TO drop in at the bank
where he kept his account and borrow q
sheet of paper. Having finished the let
ter he would ask the cashier to put it In
an envelope and direct it for him, and
then carry it to the post-offee himself.
The frequent repetition of this perform
anee seemed In itself trifie small, but
the indignation can be imagined
when he learned that the farmer never
stamped his letters, knowing that the
postmaster, recognizing the cashiers
handwriting and the banks name in the
corner, would eourteously prepay them
and send the bill to the bank. 81 sanss

How Pilgrim Weakened.

1t used to be said of Pilgrim, who was
. resident of Clinton County, Mich, for
| thirty years, that he never paid debt
in his life, and further, that no one ever
| found a way to make him. The nearest
| heaever came to such climax was when
| a neighbor found him mired in a swamp
| ia the woods, two miles from any house.
Pilgrim was over. his knees and slowly
going down when accidently discovered,
| and the situation offered the neighbor
Just 3 the chance he had long wanted.

as he, started away. a.s -.r..F.f 80 -
: Of course he did not mean to leave
old Pilgrim to die, but he thought he'd
give him o scare. He therefore hid in
the bushes where he could see him, and
| during the two hours he was there the
debtor Went down until only head and
shoulders were above the, swamp. 1t
wanted only an hour of shutdown when
the creditor came forward and said:

He was actually down to his chin
when the neighber returned with help,

You are looking forward to marrying
IN the spring, my dear girl; but if you
value happiness don't go to Europe for
your wedding tour. Think of being
seasick on the Atlantic as the beginning
of your honeymooni Imagine the awful
necessity of coming on deck with a lurch
and groan and a tumble as you surge
toward your deck chair. Fancy the ex-
perience of leaving all your bangs and
frizzes in your stateroom, and appearing
before your bridegroom with your face
tied up with flannel scaTfs on account
OF a dreadful neuralgia. You are sure
to have neuralgia when seasick if ever.
you had it in your life, and very likely
to be afflicted with it If not subject to
the disease. OF course you won't care
at the time; no one cares for anything
human when suffering with seasickness.
But think of the Disseminating effect
upon your new husband, particularly If
he is not i'll himself Then there are the
wretched delays in the Custom House
where you land, and no mortal bride.
Hikes to have her trunk opened and
paved over by some rude men. = There
are draughty stations, and stupid SER
wants in hotels, and myriad beggars,
and a million other vexations of travel
which the bride who sets forth upon q
tour of Europe will always find to try her
soul. And then she viii learn that. her
beloved isn't always a paragon of pa
thence, and she win see that it would
have been far wiser to have stayed at
ho1ae and made her husbands acquaint-
tance before starting forth with him up
on tour of Europe. An old married
couple who understand each other per-
fectly might make the experiment.; but
it is very risky work for a bride. aa .s

The Bastille.

Yesterday morning there was a
general inquiry in town rs to the
meaning of the unusual display of
bunting, more particularly on Con-
sular iagstaffs; and the reply was,
that it was the anniversary of the
taking of the Bastille, and French
national holiday. To the student of
history, it is very clear what is
meant: but the general newspaper
reader may not be posted as to the
facts. The Bastille was o famous
stone structure in Paris, built in
1332-no less than five hundred
years ago. 1t was for many years
used as a prison by some of the
tyrant Kings of France, and as such
became infamous on account of the
cruelties committed within it's walls.
On the l4th of July, 1889, during
the French Revolution which Danish
ed the Boulbons, the Parisians at.
tackled the Bastille, which after a
stout resistance was captured and
razed to the ground. Only seven
prisoners however were found in it.
See Carlyle's French Revolution,
vol. l, for an interesting account of
the Bastille.

AN UNDESIRABLE OFFICE.

IL we were ever so unfortunate as
to become one Of the "powers that
be, that Is to say, a Cabinet
Minister. and we had a personal
enemy whom we wished to punish
we know just what we would do
with the fellow-we'd make him
President of the Board of Health.
II in time, the duties and RESPONSE
bilities, real or fancied, that pertain
TO that office, did not suffice to fill
to overfowing his cup of atiiiction,
we don't know what would. We
were set into this train of reflection
yesterday morning in our walk along
King street, by observing in close
proximity to the sidewalk, an omin-
ous looking wooden cross with some
hieroglyphics inscribed thereon. On
closer inspection, the cross was
found to surmount large pile of
street sweepings, and its segment
bore this legend, Sacred to the
memory Of the President of the
Board of Health" Now the sapient
perpetrator Of this supposed joke
intended thereby to signify, that the
streets needed sweeping, and that
the President of the Board of Health
ought to have had it done; that
moreover he, and he alone, would
be held responsible for oil the dire
diseases and ailments (including
coughs and colds) that will probably
result from its not having been done.
And SO, throughout the entire cata-
logue of nuisances, from the smells
of Chinatown to the impure condi-
ton of the water in the Government
pipes---to say nothing Of the fearful
responsibility if pest ship arrives
it must be peculiar temperament
that would prompt its posscssor to
aspire to be President of the Board
of Health.
