Hindoo Craftsmen's Feet.

The supple, delicate fingers of the
craftsmen are as remarkable as those
of the Japanese, although their hands
are much larger; but one thing must
very forcibly strike the, visitor who
watches these clever workmen, and who
observes the primtiveness of their APP
pliances-t sad fact that the march
of civilization has deprived us western
nations of the use of our toes. To be
able to use four hands instead of two in
art work must obviously be an enormous
advantage, and the long, prehensile toe
of the Hndoo craftsmen is even more
remarkable than that of his japanese
brother. TO see the ivory worker turn
ing his lath with his upper hands, while
he guides it and holds the ivory in his
lower ones, is quite an education in pos
sibilities of development of what to us
are really almost rudimentary organs
daily, in fact, becoming more so under
the operation of the fashionable boot
! maker. Inferior.

er at this point quietly asked Mr.. Al

TRAVEL IN EUROPE.
Some of the Amusing Features of BavH
rian Railway Regulations.

Some of the Amusing Features of Bava-
rian Railway Regulations.
There being no checking system in
Europe, 1t strikes an American as a
loose way of doing business to be shown
into the baggage-room and told to pick
out your trunk, with no questions
asked, unless it was stored over night,
in which case fee of two cents is paid.
Seventy-tive pounds is the limit to free
luggage. know nothing about ex-
press rates, but found that ship-trunk,
with which travelled from Paris to Mu-
Mich, cost about half my own fare. In
countries like Bavaria, where the Gov
eminent owns the railways, the road
bed is kept in fine condition. A wire
runs along the side of the track, a few
inches above the ground, which notifies
the station keeper of an approaching
train, whereupon he or his wife salles
out to let down the guards at the cross
ings in his section, and to stand in true
military style with flag to the shoulder
until the train has passed. The stations
themselves are neat little brick affairs,
with the dminutive garden-plot so dear
TO the German heart.
The watchful care shown in all direc-
tons for protecting life is eXemplitied in
a law prohibiting walking upon rail
way track, and also in making every
one stand back from the edge of the
platform full meter when train APP
proaches or departs; whereas in this
country man considers it his high pre-
rogative to sit on the platform and dan
gle his legs over the edge if he chooses.
We had many hearty laugh at the
way they manage things down there in
Bavaria. For instance, when it is time
for train to depart the conductor blows
his whistle, then the station-mastel
RIM, bell attached to the station, 8
man at switch, quarter of mile
down the track, blows a horn, in re-
spouse to which the engineer toots hi'
whistle, to be followed by the conductor
blowing final blast as he gets aboard
On one occasion was much entertained
watching the manGuvers of a conductor
trying to induce lady to board thu
train. She carried handbook ant
several bundles, and was surrounded b,
a bevy of ladies', to each of whom sht
gave some injunction, totally ignoring
the conductor, who with outstretchet
hands circled around the group and i'm
plored her not to delay the train longer
As train comes to stand at station
one is amused to hear the conducto
call out, "Aussteigen," literally "climl
out. - George Z. Hopkins, IN III

Novel Duck Hunting.

An exchange says that there is in
Sumter County, Ca, certain pond or
swamp of 100 acres or more. The wa
ter is very shallow and grass grows
luxuriantly in it. Here horses and
cattle love to feed, and ducks congre-
gate in great numbers. They do not
fear the horses and cattle, but are very
shy whcr a man is around. Jimmy
Murph, thought that by hitching his
horse to q tlat-bottomed boat that he
could drive all over the swamp and kill
no end of ducks. The plan worked
well at first. The horse drew the boat
easily, but when at the right time Jim
said :'Whoa.' and jumped up to fire at
the ducks, there was hitch in the pro-
gramme.. The horse stopped, but the
boat didn't. 1t quietly foated on and
banged against the horses bird legs.
The horse jumped, and at that time
Jim took header backward into the
water, his gun going about twenty feet
beyond him. just where the gun went
is not certain It has not been seen
since. The horse and boat kept right
on. When the horse wanted to stop
the boat hit his legs and urged him for
ward. When the boat wanted to stop
the horse didn't know it. Finally boat
and horse got thoroughly tangled up,
and the latter went down. Then Jim's
brother Tom, who had been watching
the show from the sold land, waded
in and cut the horse loose, and at tho
same time Jim waded out. The boat
was not hurt in the least.
