Medical Recorder.
According to the Bengal legend there once
lived on the banks of the holy river Ganga
rishi or sage. in whose hut, made of palm leaves,
there was mouse which became favorite with
the seer, and was endowed by him with the gift
of speech. After while the mouse, having
been frightened by cat at its earnest solicita-
ton was changed by the rishi into cat then,
alarmed by dogs, into dog; then into an ape,
finally, being still discontinued with its lot into
beautiful maiden, to whom the sage gave the
name of "Postomaui," or, 1.-The poppy seed lady"
One day. while tending her plants, the king
approached the rishis cottage and was invited
to rest and refresh himself by Postomani. who
offered him some delicious fruit The king,
however, struck by the girls great beauty, re-
fused to eat until she had told him her parent
age. Postomani, to deceive the king told him
she was princess whom the rishi had found in
the woods and had brought up The upshot was
that the king made love to the girl, and they
were married by the holy sage. She was treated
as the favorte queen, and was very happy; but
one day, while standing by a well, she turned
rishi then appeared before the king and begged
him not to give way to consuming grief, assuring
him that the late queen was not of royal blood.

to her own wish, changed her successfully into

Miss Krout's New Comedy.

To the Editor of the indianapolis JournaI
1t does not often happen that the writer of a
play is also an actor who can give it to the world
in manner to charm old theater- goers. With
such pleasure fresh in memory, l beg little
space in the Journal for brief mention of "A
Man in the House" by Miss M. H. Krout
1t is light, sparkling comedy of the French
school, full of pure fun and mischief, without
the coarseness which makes the modern theater
a place to blush in. The play, of three acts, is
written in clear, correct English, and has the
rare merit of brevity. 1t was last week given,
the fifth time to full house, Miss Krout taking
the leading part, and a large portion
of the audience had been pres
ent on all the former presentations.
Such compliment is worth working for, even if
there is nothing beyond it, but happily there is
in this instance, Miss Krout having received Of
fers for her work, which has been copyrighted.
She will not dispose of it till she can do so in a
way worthy of her careful composition.
There are five characters the principals being
an ancient maiden. (the leading part played by
the author) Miss Sappho Minerva Startling who
is devoted to the pursuit of science and litera-
ture. her ward Kate Startling, whom her aunt
wishes to follow her ilustrious footsteps; her
nephew. who makes an nnopportune visit and
wins the heart of the fair Kate. In the love-
making there are bright, quick touches, remind
ing one of Goldsmith and the Characterization
is excellent. The interest of the play does not
flag, and there is not one dull place in it. DR..
Beaver whose first companion" has been dead
but seven months, consoles himself with the bony
hand of the Anticipated bluestocking aunt The
ward and nephew plan elopement in the In
tervals of study and geological observations, and
overhear the comical love-making of the old
lovers Consent to conventional wedding can
not be WITHHELD from them, the elders being
caught in the very act of preparation for one
themselves, and when the young lovers burst in
on the old ones there is a spirited and delightful
denouement which is certain to bring down the
house, no matter how familiar the scene
