LIFE IN niNDosTAN.

A Buffalo IN. W Lady Writes OF Her Home
I'm the Jungle.
Miss Mary Graybiel. one of the mis-
sionaries sustained in India by the sect
known as Disciples, writes very inter-
esting letters to her family in this city.
1t is now over four years since she went
to Hindostan, in company with the Rev.
Mr.. Wharton, formerly pastor of the
Church of Christ, and his wife. The
place at which Miss Graybiel is now
located is in the heart of India, on the
line of the railroad which is to be built
from Bombay directly across to Cal
cutta. The children of the Sunday
schools of the denomination in the
United States contributed fund of
some four thousand dollars with which
to erect house for this mission, and in
her last letter she modestly tells how
the work was done. ..ee.-
Itappears that she had to serve as
architect, master, builder and general
boss mechanic. First, she bought four
yoke of buffalos to do the teaming; then
few big trees-they are very scarce in
that part of the country. She employed
hundred natives, or nearly that num-
Der, whom she taught to quarry stone,
which had to be hauled several miles,
and to make brick. first trampling the
clay, fashioning it into bricks, and then
burning them. using the spare portions
of the trees for fuel. The trunks of the
trees were laboriously by hand sawed
into boards for the floors. roof, etc. A
stone foundation three feet thick was
laid three feet below ground and as
much above, this solid base wall being
deemed necessary to keep out the white
ants, which are II great pest of the
country. Evidently good job was
made of the wall, for Miss Graybiel in
genuously relates that an En- glishman
visitor inquired who had been the en-
gineer. and expressed much surprise
when she told that she had directed the
work herself.
1t takes a Buffalo girl to hold her own
among the heather, or any where else.
Incidentally Miss Graybiel states that
the son of German missionary living
some forty miles distant was killed by
tiger. She attended the funeral. MAX
ing the journey through the solid jun
gle in a cart drawn by a pair of the
buffalos, with the chance of being
sprung upon by that or some other
tiger at any moment. Such is life in
the wilds of Hindostan. Buffalo Cour-

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
What Is costs to Send Cable Messages to
Various Parts of the Globe.


The charges for cable service are so
cutrageousiy out of proportion to land
service that inexperienced persons are
staggered. Now a ten-word message,
with it's direction and signature, costs
only 81 to San Francisco, and, count
Ing the address and signature seven
words, not less than S117.93 to Aspin-
wall, and yet the distance is about the
same The American cable companies
are not responsible for these terrific
rates, for they have to charge the rates
prescribed by the governments or COM
panies they connect with.
Now, to send anywhere across the
Atlantic it costs, first Of al, II cents a
word. That is the rate to Great Britain,
Ireland, France and Germ my, but you
have got to add to this cents word
to send to Algeria via Marsei1les, $1.7
word to Alden via Bombay, IA cents
to Bulgaria, $1.20 to Cape Verde
Islands, $205 to $3.50 to various points
in China, $2.61 to Corea, 10 cents to
Denmark, "a to 66 cents to Turkey, 5
cents to Switzerland, and SO on. It
costs more to send to South America
than anywhere else, the tariff to CO.
lombia being $6.6S a word, Ecuador
1886, Peru, from 1885 to S.. As, and
Uruguay $2.7I. You can get an idea
of the difference in rates by comparing
the rates to China and Australia 1t
costs "a. O5 to send to Northern Aus
tralia, and only 81 05 to 81. so to Chinese
cities.
Some people think the present rate
to Great Britain high at II cents a
word. There are some interesting
facts connected with cable charges.
The first cable tariff between New
York and London during August, Sep
TENDER and October, 1866, was 800 for
twenty words of not more than one
hundred letters. Twenty words now
cost 81 40. Then you had to pay for
twenty words anyway. During the
latter part of 1866 the rate was cut
down to $50 for twenty words of 100
letters, and since that time it has come
down steadily. BY looking over the
old cable company's tariffs we can find
an interesting table:

TEMPERANCE IN EATING.

The Vice of Overlooking the Stomach and
It's Terrible Consequences.
The vice of inordinate liquor drink
ing is open and above-board and its
evils are so palpable that any one may
see them. Over-eating, On the other
hand, is accompanied by evils that none
but the sufferers and their physicians
know much about. Some years ago no
less authority than Sir Henry Thomp-
son declared that he had been COM
PEELED by the facts constantly coming
before him to accept the conclusion
that more mischiefin the form of actual
disease, Of impaired vigor and of
shortened life, has occurred to civilized
man from erroneous habits in eating
than from the habitual use of alcoholic
drink, considerable as he knew that
evil to be. He also declared himself in
doubt whether improper and inordi-
nate eating were not as great moral
evil as inordinate drinking. The fabri-
Gators of our food have much indeed to
answer for. They make digestible raw
material into iEdigestible finished prod
ucts and we eat them and suffer. But
the cooks are not alone to blame Peo-
pie eat more than they should and they
sat what is agreeable to their palates,
knowing that it will not be relished
by their stomachs.
The habit of over-eating is commonly
made In childhood, when ignorance and
sensation override moderation of ap-
petite and reasonable caution; the
child should be restricted to the food
that it naturally needs and should not be
allowed to make hog of itself. When
the growth is attained and the system
NO longer easily eliminates the waste
material not necessary for the ordinary
purposes of repair. then the body be-
gins to store up fat beyond what is of
use and Tags out the muscles in carry
ing it around; or, if there is no fatten-
ing with over-eating, there are dyspep-
zia, fevers, govt, rheumatism, bilious
ness and other ills. A temperance or
ganization which should lay down a.
It's fundamental law abstinence from
excessive eating, would do away with
che greater part of the ordinary sick
Tssses among persons who should live

TIE SUMMER BOARDER.

Some OF the Pleasant Reflections in Which
He Is Apt to Indulge.
Where there are no mosquitoes there
are apt to be bed-bugs.
The prettiest boarder is always
mashed before you get there.
The boat always capsizes when you
have your best clothes en-.
A smile from the landlady's daughter
has protracted many vacation.
The religious girl doesn't miss going
to church as much as she had thought.
Never lend to the young widow
whose funds did not arrive when ex-
pected.
The old maid may be near-sighted,
but she doesn't miss much that is going
on.
The mother always likes to go to the
place where you have asked her
daughter.
Tie landlord who can interest his
boarders in farming soon has his crops
gathered.
The landlord who doesn't call his
well mineral spring must get his milk
very cheap.
1t is generally a long ride to the
house that is only few minutes from
the station.
The landlords pretty daughter will
nibble at any bait, but sheis very hard
to catch.
The house where no children are
taken is generally already filed with
the landlords.
1t is always the cat belonging to the
next house that catches the boarder' S
canary bird.
The man who telegraphs home for
more money is probably spending it on
some one else.
The timid boarder who never. gets
enough to eat is apt to attribute it to
an increased appetite.
Unless you want to make an enemy
never ask boarderif he has summered
at the place BEFORE
The homely girl can never get enough
swinging Or boating, but she never likes
to carry-the basket. q.
The COWS are always a long way off
when you go out with the landlady's
daughter to bring them home.
hepretty boarder never uses a chair
to get into the hammock unless her
pretty stockings are in the wash.
You may think yourself very shrewd
to discover that the fresh milk and veg
etables are purchased in the city, but
the knowledge won make you any the
happier.
The man who goes to q place where
good fishing is announced is apt to lose
faith in human nature when he finds
that none of the country boys ever try
to catch any.-Janses Jag OConneU, IN
