docs.

On Friday and Saturday Of last week
most Of the Bombay and Ahmedabad
trains carried special carriages for the
accommodation Of Nicer Ghoolam Baba
Khan's guests. who came from FAR anu
near in response To the invitations To De
present Mt the dinner given by him on
Saturday night in honor OF the triple
marriages now being celebrated in his
family. On Friday afternoon the pres
ents to be given by Nicer Ghoolam Baba
10 the brides were displayed Mt the pal
ace. The gifts include some handsome
suits of furniture mounted in damask
tables, cupboaris, and ordinary arti
cles of household furniture innumerable,
cooking utensils and n variety OF lighter
and more ornamental articles, besides
handsome shigram and horse. BY far
the most interesting part OF the display
however, was visit to the roo", in
which the jcwelry to be presented was
laid out for inspection. The gold and
silver anklets and bangles were most
magnificent, and one of the neck orna'
ments must have been something over
pound in weight. Two of these in par
ticular / noticed. One was made OF
strings of gold beads, fastened together
by curio,lsly-shaped ornaments; the
other was similar in design, with the OK.
ceptiOn that the center OF every beac
was covered with pale green enamel.
The value of these cannot venture tt
estimate. The greater part OF the jew
elry displayed was of Surat manufact'
ure, most of it being Of native design.
A beautiful pair of bracelets were more
according to English patterns; one was
composed of rows of small pearls, sepa.
rated at regular intervals by stars anc
rubies; the other bracelet was of the
same pattern. substituting, however
diamonds for the pearls. Compare.
lively few rings were among the jewelry.
A single ear-ornament that l inquired
the value of was estimated at SOo r..
it was a trihe that would not have been
missed from amongst the collection, SC
what the aggregate value of the orna.
ments may be il is difficult to imagine.
In the same room there were some hand.
some silver and silver-gilt tea services,
silver coilce-cups. salvers, etc. After
seeing the jewelry and other presents.
the guests returned to the upper part Of
the palace, whence was witnessed a pro.
cession of coolies carrying on theil
heads the nuptial gifts. The procession
was something like a mile in length; the
number of coolies employed must have
been should think, one thousand, ana
cOoly-hire on this one occasion, | have
been informed, amounted to 400 Is.
There were grand separate pro.
cessions on different day, conveying
the marriage presents to the houses OF
the brides, besides several smaller pro
cessions, when some Of the p. esents were
carried through the street. bombay

BACK TO SCHOOL.

All, days OF tender infancy
How clearly remember
How certainly the sehool-house doors
Would open each September;
And how, with equal certainty,
The idling Of vacation
Would bear is fated fruit In term"

Perhaps the teachers also miss
The vanquished days OF idlesse-
Each eve sigh for moonlit sail,
Find each dny walkless. rideless.

But summer has 10 end some time

A Feat of Telegraphy.

We have often heard of the wonder
ful line between this country and
| Teheran, the capital of Persia, a dis
tanee OF $500 miles, but we scarcely re-
allied the fact that good signals were
Obtainable through so great length of
wire until recently, when we ayaiied
ourselves of an invitation from Mr.. w.
Andrews, the managing director of the
lndo-EurOpean Telegraph Company, to
make visit of inspection. It was be-
tween z and on Sunday evening, April
13, when we reached the Office. In the
basement of an nnpretentiOus building
in Old Broad Street We were shown the
Morse printer i'll connection with the
main line from London to Teheran.
The courteous clerk in charge of the
wire, Mr.. BlagrOve, informed us that
we were through to Emden, and with
the same ease with which one wires"
from the City to the West End we asked
q few questions of the telegraphist in
the German town. When we had fin
ished with Emden, we spoke with the
same facility to the gentleman on duty
at Odessa. This did not satisfy us, and
in a few seconds we were through to
the Persian capital (Teheran). There
were no messages about, the time was
favorable, and the employees OF the va
riOus countries seemed anxious to give
us an opportunity of testing the capacity
of this wonderful line.
T. Ell. N. (Teheran) said, "Call Kur-
rachee," and in less time than it takes
to write these words we gained the at
tention of the Indian town. The sig
mails were good and our speed must
have equaled fifteen words a minute.
The operator at Kurrachee, when he
learnt that London was speaking to
him, thought it would be good OppOr-
tunity to put us through to Agra, and
to our astonishment the signals did not
fail, and we chatted pleasantly for few
with Mr.. ,Malcom Khan, the
clerk on duty. To make this triumph |
Of telegraphy complete, Agra switched |
Us on to another line, and we soon were
talking to native telegraphist at the /
Indian Government Cable Station, CAL
,utta. At first the gentleman .at the |
1ther end of the wiren could not believe |
hat he was really in direct cOmmunica- |
ion with the English capital, and he ex-
claimed in Morse language, "Are you
'eally London 2" Truly this was a
great achievement. Metallic commune
,ation without a break from Is Old /
Broad Street, London, to the telegraph I
,tfice in Calcutta! Seven thousand
niles of wire The signals we're excel
ent, and the speed attained was not less
han twelve, perhaps fourteen, words
,er minute. Telegraphist.

1ion:
That sugar mills, massquis, and cot
ton seed oil mills erected for the advan-
fage of producers, and the necessary
ground for their erection, shall be ex-
empt for an indefinite period from all
licenses and taxation; provided they
shall never charge more than one-th1rd
of gross proceeds as toll for manufac-
turing the sugar cane into sugar and
En0lasses, ginning moss and reducing
cotton seed into its ordinary products;
and provided also that owners OF sugar
mills taking advantage of this exemp-
ton shall never discriminate IN favor OF
e1ne to the detriment of others.

A woman's worth is to be estimated by
her real goodness of heart, and purity
and sweetness of character, and such a
woman with kind disposition and
WE'LL balanced mind and temper, is
lovely and attractive. Be her face ever
so plain and form ever so homely, she
makes the best of wives and tIuest of
mothers. She has higher purpose in
life than the beautiful, yet vain aud
woman, who has no higher
ambition than to faunt her fnery, or
to crafty her inordinate vanity by at
tracing fiattery and praise from a So
ciety whose compliments are as hollow
as they are insincere.-Ex.

Origin of ssHOOsier.''
indianapolis Journal.

The first that is known of the world
appearing in print was in 1880, when
John Finley, the Wayne county poet,
wrote New Years poem for the Jour
nal, entitled "HOosier's Nest" in which
q description of the pioneer cabin in
Indiana is given. The poem, in the
light OF one OF the traditional stories,
gives something of an idea or the man.
ner IN which the word came into use.
The first few lines read:
I'm told in riding somewhere West
A stranger found a "Hoosier's Nest"
In other words, a Buckeye cabin,
Just big enough to hold Queen Nab in.
Its situatfOn-low, but airy
Was on the borders of prairie;
And, fearing he might be benighted
He hailed the house and then alighted.
The Hoosler met him at the door,
Their salutations soon were DER.
1t was the custom among the early
pioneers in Indiana in travelling through
the country to hail cabin by. calling
out: "Who lives here?n and "Who;s
there 2" About the time Of the treaty
OF peace with the Indians in 1918, and
when the State was very sparsely set
tied travel was attended by great dan
gers, and no man ever rode away from
home without his rifle. AS a. common
of safety, when traveller
saw in the distance the smoke from a
camp or cabin fire, he would call out,
upon coming within hearing distance,
Who's here ?" and from the response
he would know it he was among friends.
From corruption of this form of salu-
JatiOn the people Of Indiana were called |
lo0siers. Doubtless, settlers, in writing
back TO friends in their old homes, |
would say that they "Were here among
he hoosiers," and in a few years the ap-
1ellatiOn sprang into general use. Gen.
". Fl. Fl. Terrell, whose researches in
he early history of Indiana have been
and who may be accepted as
says that this is the true Ori-
gin of the word, and Gov. Wright is
,redited with saying that it was cor
uption of the form of salutation of the
,arly settlers of the Western country.
critical Interpretation of Finley's |
