Parliament. 1t is difficult to believe
that the Duke could have so deluded

The History Of a Suit Of Armor.

Large profits would probably BIZ
realized by any enterprising Spectator
who adopted the plan of buying articles
of old clothing worn by eminent persons
and selling them at some future day as
interesting relics, when they would,
there can be little doubt, often realize
fabulous prices. The happy chances
occasionally afforded by dealings of this
description are illustrated by the follow
ing facts related to us by acorrespon-
dent respecting a suit of armor that
originally belonged to King Francis I.
of France. This armor was bought by
the late Sir Anthony Rothschild for
f1OO, and sold by him to the late Lord
Ashburnham for $1,000. Some years
afterward it was sold by Lord Ashburn
for $4,000 to a dealer in curiosities,
who resold it within twenty-four hours
to a wealthy customer for no less a sum
than E17,O00. The subsequent history
| of the armor is even still more remark
able. 1t was deposited by its purchaser
in the Belgrave-Square Pantechnicon,
and when that unfortunate building
was destroyed by fire the armor was
buried beneath the ruins. Dug out of
the debris, it was sold for few pounds
as old iron. 1t survived, however, even
this degradation; for. after undergoing
a process of renovation, it was subse-
quently sold to Mr.. Splitter of Paris, for
ELI, 1000, where it is said to be now on
sale for f2O,000.-St. James Gazette.

Gondolas and Gondoliers.

The gondola Is a prettily-built boat.
Its sharp, slender PROV and stern rise
quite out of the water. The PROV is
armed with a broad. bright steel, a sort
of monogram, representing the ancient
battle-aX, boarding-pike and arrow.
heads. Gondolas are always painted
black. This for centuries has been the
fashion. For the origin of it there are
several plausible traditions. Even the
little cabin in the middle of the boat ia
draped in jet black. Sometimes, how
ever, this sombre covering gives place
to a white linen awning. Here, low
down in the boat, with comfortable seats
and backs, four persons ear sit and ride
luxuriously. Families, who in other
cities are able to keep their carriages
and coachmen, here keep their gondola
and gondoliers. Ladies go shopping
and visiting and to church in their gon-
dola. The gondoliers are the healthiest
and best physically developed men in
Venice. They handle their boats with
incredible dexterity. Sometimes when
several gondolas are %crowding together
in a narrow street, and we are sure of q
collision, our boats slip throughwithout
even touching, and at another time will
round u corner within an inch of the
wall. The gondolier always propels
and steers by strokes on one side of the
boat. His full dress consists of linen
pants and blouse, with a broad sailor
collar. and a long sash Of red or blue
cloth hanging from the right side of his
waist. He stands in an easy attitude,
bendingt to his thin oar, the blade Of which
when feathered with his skillful touch
causes the boat to obey like the we'll
trained horse at the slightest motion of
a gondola darting along the Grand ca
nal, with its batt1e-ax prov and brazen
mountings glancing in the sunlight.
There are larger and more homely boats
used for transportation. A gondola
with one gondolier can be hired for all

Religions in India.

The latest statistics upon this subject,
founded upon the census of 1882, show
that out Of the grand total of the popu-
lation of British India, which is given at
254, 899, SIG, the various sects and castles
of Hindoos made up no less than 49,
937, $50. The Mohammedans, who came
next in order, numbered so, 121, 585.
The nature worshippers, or demonola-
tors, numbered 6, APO, 511; the Buddhists,
3,418, 844; Christians, 1862, 634; jams,
a sect whose worship is mingled Budd-
hism and Hinduism, l, 221, 1876; the Sikhs,
who are simple THESIS, $50, 426; and
those who come under the heading of
other creeds, or were altogether inspect
fed, 3,O57, $50. The Christians EMU
merated are exclusive of persons of
| European nationality. The number of
Roman Catholic Christians wa set down
| as 963, O58, OF a little over half a million.
Indeed, a strictscrutiny is stated to have
brought out the total Of native Protest.
ant Christians as onlya little over half a
million. But this number shows the
very satisfactory increase of eighty-six
per cent in ten years, as in 1871 the total
was only S18, 1868; thirty years ago the
number of native Christians was only
1O2, 95I. In 1861 this number had in
creased by fifty-three per cent, and
again in 1871 by sixty-one per cent, SO
that there has been for some time back
q rapid and unbroken progress.

The Affable Demon.

on all the fiends that infest ae
jungles, streets and saloons of largo
cities in search of prey, the sociable fiend
is the most to be dreaded. By the soci-
able fend we refer to that quiet familiar
demon who halts you or the streets in a
manner that causes you to infer that he
has something to communicate to which
It will be to your interest to listen.
After the persuasive demon has fastened
his tentacles on your coat collar or into
your buttonhole, it is almost impossible
to shake him off. He never withdraws
on his own motion. Unlike the festive
Fourth of July pistol, he never hurts
soon as the affab1e demon has fastened
his tentacles on a friend he slowly backs
that friend up against a wall, thus
cutting off all chances of retreat. Hav-
ing anchored his victim against a wall,
he begins to climb up on him as if he
were a ladder. The afable demon then
places his mouth within a few inches of
the victims nose, and begins to chew
him up. At least, to anybody across
the street who observes the upward and
downward motion of his jaw, it seems
as if the victim was being eaten up alive
by the fiend. The victim, however,
acquires a great deal of information,
and perhaps some tobacco juice OH his
shirt bosom. No matter how much he
may relax his features, the affable
demon never relaxes his grasp. Time
is no object to him. He car hold out
all day. The traditional hooks of steel
| with which a mother clings to her off
spring are weak and feeble compared to
the grasp of a healthy sociable tiend.
The sole mission Of the fiend's life is
to talk. If he had nobody to talk to he
would die. He is a mistake of nature.
| He was intended for a fashionable
woman. Occasionally the afable demon
will quit a victim before the vital spark
has fled. If, while he is sucking the
life blood out of a victim, the fiend OBJ
serves a group of gentlemen chatting
together, he will quit the victim tempo
rarily to break up that group. He
creates more CONSERVATION over the
street than a deputy Sheriff in search of
a jury.
There are a number of remedies for
attacks of the sociable fend. The best
one is to thrust a revolver down his
throat as OOH as he opens his mouth,
and fire it off six consecutive times.
This mild sort of a remonstrance pro-
duces a fine moral effect. Another
method to rescue a victim from his de-
stroyer is on the cooperative plan. A
secret society, something like the Ma
sons, is organized. The members
pledge themselves by fearful oaths to
unite to rescue a brother whenever they
see him in the clutches of this human
devilfsh. The usual plan is to rush up
and pretend to be collecting for a
church or some such charitable pur-
pose. This causes the demon to relin-
quish his grasp, and then the rescuer
and the rescued flee around the corner.

The Terrors Of an Epidemic.

Nothing is more curious than the
fact that dying as one of a crowd seems
to be more terrible to a man than simply
dying his own individual death. TN
questionably there seems to be no kind
of death more dreaded by men than
death either from sudden catastrophes
like that of the Ring Theater at Vienna
and that on the Clyde, for instance-or
from pestilence. No doubt, it is per-
fectly true that death cannot be shared
in the same sense in which a peril or a
pleasure can be shared; you cannot, in
all probability, be conscious of the
strength of companionship after
life begins to flicker low, nor are
there above n or two people in the
world with whom most men would
covet the sense of companionship in
such a moment as that of death. Still,
it's somewhat curious that death on a
grand scale always seems to be more
terrible, even to the separate individuals,
than the ordinary death by units. OF
course, terror is very catching, and,
therefore, the terror Of q crowd always
enhances the terror of the individual
But though that explains the supreme
agony of a sinking ship or a burning
theater, itdoes not in the least explain
the additional dread of death which
plague seems to inspire in individuals,
for between the inhabitants of a plague
stricken city there is always very much
less active sympathy than there was be-
fore the pestilence appeared, and it is
rather through the growth of mutual
repulsion than through the frightening
of a common sympathy that the in
luence of pestilence is chiefly felt. As
a fact, very few patients stricken with
ordinary disease who are told that death
is inevitable show any panic at all, while
the perfectly healthy mar. surrounded
by pestilence, is too often consumed
with a terror which renders him abso-
lutely unfit for the discharge of his
duties.-London Spectator.
