An East Indian Sybarite.

The death of the last king of Oudh de-
prives Calcutta of picturesque and almost
legendary parsonage. To the visitor the red
and blue roof of his palace, the gardens,
stocked with wild beasts and brilliant birds,
his innumerable guards and attendants and
the tens of thousands Of pigeons that were
always wheeling above the grounds seemed
to embody the fantastic life of native India.
The men guarding the doors were all his own
sepoys from Cawnpore, and once you had an
order to penetrate the charmed circle you
passed through beautiful succession of
groves and parterres and miniature grass
plots and pleasant terraces His menagerie
fell away of late, but some years back it al
most rivaled the famous collection in the
London ZOO A tank somethink like $50
yards square was covered with storAs and
pelicans and swans, and had ample well
wooded rambling grounds around it. The
smaller birds were sheltered in lofty aviaries.
The lions and tigers and wolves and other
ferocious animals were, of course, Gagged, but
Gagged very comfortably.
In another garden building that looked
like magnifed ant hill was fixed in the CEN
ter of large square well, and was carefully
surrounded with water. Here the snakes
were segregated, and 5OO OF them lived In the
narrow holes with which the strange build
ing was artifcially honeycombed. 1t used
TO be one of the great sights of the day to see
them fed with frogs But his pigeons formed
the great feature of the kings collection.
"One who knew him" writes that he led a
kingly life to the end, though he had not
more than 1000 subjects to govern. "He
held court and received legal honors, created
titled mobiles according to his caprice, and
travelled over his grounds in campan, oc-
cupying at different times different country
seats, like other kings" At one time he
would watch his animals and his fishes being
fed, at another his rams and cocks and quails
would be brought up to fight before him.
He had, we are told, a prevailing passion for
order and cleanliness. He prayed five times
day, though he ate only one meal. but from
morning till night he chewed pan sopari and
smoked the hookah.-Times Of India.

WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
Fortunes Made by Lucky Whalers
Who Find Ambergris.
Washington Star.i


rhe ProvincetowD, Mass, whalemen
have been unusually successful in their
voyages within the past fifteen or twenty
years, not only in the amount of Oil OBJ
tanned, but in that of ambergris. Amber
girls is a peculiar secretion found IN
sperm whale, and is worth its weight in
gold. 1t is not buoyant article, and is
only obtained by killing the whale, or the
whales dying and drifting ashore, when
the lump of ambeIgris washes upon the beach
after the carcass is decomposed. The am
bergris whales are usually found near
the land, and when the stuff is picked up
on the shore the carcass of dead whale is
usually somewhere in the vicinity. When
an apparently healthy whale is killed, and
on examination appears to have very little
oil, search for ambergris is made. In
appearance it is dark gray sticky sub.
stance, and very vile smelling. 1t is prin-
cipally used in making perfumes to set the
odor, and as refner. 1t is related
that one afternoon, some years ago,
the schooner Gage Phillips, Of
Provincetown, was drifting on the whaling
grounds, when the man on the look out re-
ported that q small peculiar looking sub
stance was floating off the port quarter. 1t
was taken on deck and pronounced to be
some peculiar kind of West India gum
After being kicked about the deck for som
days it was thrown carelessly into the
stern boat The Philips fell in with another
whaler and the crews exchanged visits.
The visiting captain noticed the gum.
declared it was ambergris and re-
veaIed its value. 1t was taken care
of, and when the vessel arrived
home the sale of that lump of gum added
$4,000 to the general stock of the voyage
Another captain of a merchant vessel lying
at anchor off one of the islands in the
West Indies, discovered lump as large as
his two fists in the possession of negro,
who sold it to the captain for one flannel
shirt and an old pair of pantaloons. 1t
was sold in the States for $500. A
whaling crew having secured and killed a
whale, cut it in two and found a dark gray
mass about the size of half barrel. In the
effort to get it on deck the lead like mass
shot downward into the bottom of the sea
and at least $4,000 slipped neatly away,
leaving a mad captain and a mad crew
There are living in Provincetown many re-
tired whalers who have made fortunes in
the find of ambergris, and seldom season
passes without some of her captains return
ing wealthy men.

WATER AT MEALS.
What Medical Authority has to Say
About il.
British Medical Journal.

british A1etlcai JOurndI.I
Opinions differ as to the effect of the
free ingestion of water at meal times, but
the view most generally received is prOba-
bly, that it dilutee the garstric juice, and
so retards digestion Apart from the fact
that moderate delay in the process is by
no means disadvantage, as Sir William
Roberts has shown in his explanation of
the popularity of tea and coffee, it is more
than doubtful whether any such effect
is in reality produced. When ingested
during meals, water may do good by wash
ing out the digested food and exposing the
undigested part more thoroughly to the
action of the digestive f.rments. Pepsin
is catalyptic body, and given quantity
will work almost indefinitely, provided
pepstones are removed as they are formed.
The good effects of water, drunk freely be-
fore meals, has, however, another beneficial
result-it washes away the mucus which
is secreted by the mucuous membrane dur.
ing the intervals of rep0se, and favOrs
peristalis of the whole alimentary tract.
The membrane thus cleansed is in much
better condition to receive food and
convert it into soluble compounds.
The accumulation Of mucus is specially
we'll marked in the morning, when the
gastric walls are covered with thick, te-
nacious layer. Food entering the stomach
at this time will be covered with this tena-
cious coating, which for time protects it
from the gastric ferments, and so retards
digestion. The tubular contracted stomach,
with its puckered mucous lining and viscid
contents, a normal condition in the morn
ing before breakfast, is not suited to receive
food. Exercise before partaking of meal
stimulates the circulation of the blood and
facilitates the flow of blood through the
vessels. A glass of water washes
out the mucus, partially distends
the stomach, wakes up peristalis
and prepares the alimeDtary canal for the
morning meal. Observation has shown
that non-irritating liquids pass directly
through the tubular stomach, and even If
food be present they only mix with it to a
slight extent. According to Dr. Leuf, who
has made this subject special study, cold
water should be given to persons who have
sufficient vitality to react, and hot water
to the others. In chronic gastric catarrh,
it is extremely beneficial to drink warm or
hot water before meals, and salt is said in
most cases to add to the good effect pro-
duced.

A Wrong Lookout.

An innocent looking old man was waiting
at the Third street depot for a train the other
day, and as he got ready for little walk
around the neighborhood, Special Officer
Button cautioned him to look out for bad
men.
"Yes-much obleeged-I'l do So" replied
the old man, and off he went.
In about half an hour he returned and ex-
hibited bank check for s25, and asked the
officer where he could get it cashed.
"Nowhere. That check is worthless"
"Nol"
@Yes, it is. Where did you get it,"
''Lent man $40 so that he could get off on
his train. and he put on S. for interest"
''Didn't warn you!"
"You told me to look out for bad men, but
this fellow wasn't bad. He had over a dozen
religious tracts in his pocket, and he never
swore nor chewed tobacco nor drank whisky"
"Wen, you've been swindled."
"And it's all your fault. If you'd SAID look

THE WORLDS WAY.

An Arab poet made this pleasant rhyme:
'sThe new moon is a horseshoe, wrought OF God,
WherepItb the Sultan's stallion shall be shod
On hearing this his Highness smiled and gave
The man gold piece. Sing again, y slave"
Above his lutte the happy singer bent,
And turned another graceful compliment.
And rs before the smiling Sultan gave
The man "a shekel. Sing again, y slave!
Again The verse came fluent as rill
Tha. wanders. silver-footed, down the hll
The Sultan listening, nodded as before,
sill gave the gold and still demanded more.
The nimble fancy that had climbed so high
Grew weary with its climbing by and by.
Strange discords rose, the sense went quite
amiss, -
The singers rhymes refused to meet and kiss.
Invention tagged, the lutte had got unstrung,
And twice he sung the song already sung.
The Sultan, furious called a mute and said:
20 Musta, straightway whip me off his head"

Generous Statistics.

christian Advocate.
A recent speaker says that the negroes
in this country have multiplied eight times
in century. AS they have 100000 now,
in 1880 they will amount to 192,OOO,O 900,
if they MAINTAIN the same relative rates of
increase. The whites in ten years
by birth and immigration have in
creased 80 per cent. At this rate there
will be SOO,OOO,OOO whites and over 2OO,-
100000 negroes-in all 100000, ,OOO-in
the United States in 1888. Who believes
either of these statments? By that method
one can prove that the Methodist Episco-
pal Church will soon have more communi-
cants that the world contains people. Last
year it gained per cent net. This rate
will double its membership every fourteen
wears. Hence in 1902 it will have 4,O00,-
600; in 1916, 100000; in 1880, 49,
100000; in 1914, 32,OO0,OOO; in
1858, 64,OOOOOO; in 1872, 1885,
100000, and so doubling in every fourteen
years, in the year 2O84, less than 200 years
from the present date, there will be 2, ,768,-
OOO, 900 of members of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in the United States alone |!
Toll on, then brethren. Do not let the
fact, according to the figures of the speaker
quoted above, there will be only 6,4OG ,OOO,-
600 negroes and 13,2OO,OOO,OOO whites-in
all 49, ,6OC, 900, ,OOO-of people in the United
States at that time, disturb you. Who
cares for a little deficit of 3,16S, 100000? :?
Great is statistics Of course, other de-
nominations are deluding themselves. They
think that they are increasing, but as we
are going to take in the wholepopulation, and
several thousand millions more, they must
cease to exist! The only trouble is, that
if some of them continue to grow as at
present, the multiplication table will wipe
US out in the same way.

Bergh's Influence.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
This was one of his "curbstone" speeches,
often used with effect: Now, gentlemen,
consider that you are American citizens,
living in a republic. You make your own
laws; no despot makes them for you. And
I appeal to your sense Of justice and your
patriotism, ,oughtn't You TO respect what you
yourselves have made?"
Once Mr.. Bergh ordered the ignorant
foreman of gang Of gas-pipe layers to fill
up one-half of q trench which they had dug
directly across crowded Greenwich street,
even under the railway track. The man
gave a surly refusal, which would have
caused his arrest had not a stranger stepped
out of the crowd, and said:
Mike, you better do what the man tells
you, for he's the law and gospel in this
CITY,"
"The law and the gospel is it, then ?"
replied Mike, surveying Mr.. Bergh from
head to foot.
well, he don't look bit like it."
"No matter, but he is" enforced the
stranger, "and if you can take friends
advice, you will fill up that trench"
And the trench was filled.

THE MANDATE OF THE CEN.
TURY.

Upon the rushing whirlwind
sweep the chariots of the Lord;
The clouds roll back before Him,
And the seas obey His word.
His hand unclasps the letters,
and through grated dungeon doors
That mans iron hand hath bolted
Gods glorious sunshine pours.
Lo' on the distant hilltops
His standard bearers gather,
And the solemn centuries listen
To the mandate that they bring:
IBID the daughters OF the nations
March forth beneath their banners,
And marshal in their cohorts
Where the hosts are gathering.
There is danger on the ramparts,
There is rout upon the war field;
There js wrong and woe in all the land
And stain upon our shield;
Bid the silent ranks come forward,
Come from their voiceless thresholds,
And battling for their hearthstones,
Bear my standard to the field"
Shall His fiat fall unanswered
Along the silent highway?
Shall His mandate drop unechoed
And His heralds lick the dust ?
No not though stones should topple,
Though the battlements should falter,
Though the scepters should be shivered,
And earth's crowns should sink to rust.
II is written in the heavens,
Its carved upon the mountains;
And the thunders of the ages
Send their echoes on before;
And the tides roll swift and certain
As the rivers from their fountains,
And human right shall rule the earth,
And wrong sit shrined no more.
