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 ali his own
sepoys from Cawnporc, and once you had an
order to penetrate the charmed circle you
passed through a 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 storks and
pe!icanS and swans, and had ample well
wooded rambling grounds around it. The
smaller birds were sheltered in lofty ayiaries.
The lions and tigers and wolves and other
ferocious animals were, Of course, Gagged, but
Gagged very comfortably.
In another garden a building that looked
like magnified ant hill was fixed in the CEN
ter of large square well, and was carefully
surrounded with water Here the snakes
were segregated, and 800 Of them lived in the
narrow holes with which the strange build
ing was artiicially 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
Zone who knew him" writes that he led
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 ut 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 auails
would be brought up to fight before him.
He had, we are told, prevailing passion for
order and cleanliness. He prayed five times
a day, though he ate only one meal, but from
morning till night he chewed pan sopari and

Treatment for Dropping Shoulders.

This is a serious evil It compromises both
appearance and vitality. A stopping figure
is not only familiar expression of weakness
or old age, but is, when caused by careless
habits, a direct cause of contracted chest and
defective breathing. Unless you rid yourself
Of anis crook while at school you will proba-
bly, go bent to the grave. There is one good
way to cure it. Shoulder braces will not
help. One needs, not an artificial substitute,
but some means to develop the muscles whose
duty it is to hold the head and shoulders
erect.
| know Of but one bulls eve shot 1t is to
carry a weight on the head. A sheepskin or
other strong bag filed with twenty to eighty
pounds of sand is good weight. When en-
gagged i'll your morning studies, either before
or after breakfast, put this bag Of sand on
the head. hold your head erect, draw your
chin close to your neck and walk slowly
about the room, coming back, if you please,
every minute or two to your book, or carry
ing the book as You walk. The muscles,
whose duty it is TO hold head ana shoulders
erect. are hit not with scattering shot, but
with a rife bail. The bones of the spine and
intervertehral substance will soon accomno-
date themselves % the new attitude. One
wear of daily practice with the bag, half an
hour morning and evening, will give You a
noble carriage without interfering moment
with your studies. 1t would be very difficult
TO put into paragraph more important in
str-lctions than this. Your respiration, voice
and strength Of spine, to say nothing Of your
ar,Daarance. viii fad a new departure in this

One of the most common faults Of orr
northern people is wearing an excess of cloth
ing. One has only to look about him to note
Indies, even early in the season, wrapped in
furs, plush cloaks and other thick COVERINGS,
while any number of men are to be seen with
overcoatS sufficiently heavy to protect them
from the soverest cold in winter To thus
early become accustomed to such clothing is,
OF course, unwise in the extreme, and many
must eventually pay the penalty of the habit.
Leave off your winter clothes late in the
spring and put them on early in the autumn"
is a wise injunction, but it must not be liter
ally rendered. One should not. of course,
thus early assume throughout his heaviest
clothing, but the change should be made
gradually. To put on warm under flannels
early in the autumn is a sensible rule for all
to follow. Equally as good a rule is to wear
the fall overcoat as late as one can and he
comfortable Rather than trust entirely to
clothing TO keep warm, we should derend
much upon exercise, and If TOO heavy wraps
or overcoatS are worn, that cannot be taken
in sufficient amount to maintain good health,

come overheated, and n 'cold" is generally
the consequence. A very common error with
men oftener than women, is to wear. even in

Wild Dogs of the Mountains.

The wild dogs which infest the mountains
of the upper Wind river are not the common
wolf of the western prairies and mountains.
They are something far more powerful and
dangerous. Several years since a male
Scotch staghound and female English bull
dog ran away in company from Fort Washa-
kie, made their home in the mountains, and
these wild dogs of the upper Wind river are
their savage offspring. With such ancestor
ship, how can this wild offspring help being
a canine terror?
The latest exploits Of those canine maraud-
ers of which we have any account is the
destruction of a small herd of bears 1t ap-
pears that some time ago about dozen bears
of the dreaded and large silver tip variety
came down from the surrounding mountains
to enjoy themselves ON the sunny slopes Of
the Warm Spring basin. In the course Of
the day those bears all got together, and
while thus massed were attacked by about
100 of the wild dogs.
The conflict was terrible. The bears
fought with all the courage and ferocity for
which the silver tip is noted, but the mingled
strain of staghound and bulldog supplied a
courage and ferocity greater still, and at the
end of half an hour every bear had died
where he was brought to bay.
The dogs suffered severely, twenty-five Of
their number perishing in the fight The
survivors wasted little time, however, in
mourning over their dead companions, but
began at once on the banquet their own pow
ers had provided, and in an hour from the
time the combat ceased, only the clean picked
bones of the twelve bears remained to tell of
the struggle to death which had taken place,
and the savage feast which had followed.

The Experiments OF q Eonkers Inventor.
Yankee Grandmothers yindicatcd.
There are great many interesting charac-
tiers among the inventors who yearly troop
down to Washington TO see about their
patents. One Of these men. William Heckert,
of Yonkers, talked his hearers into q state Of
enthusiasm the other day about the medical
qualities of sulphur. Mr.. Heckert says that
in reading TIE history of Italy and other
volcanic regions, he found that periods Of
freedom from epidemic disease coTTesporded
with periods of volcanic activity. In com
pairing labor statistics he found one trade in
which consumption was unknown, that of
sulphuric acid making. It occurred to him
that the antiseptic properties Of the sulphur
fumes killed the disease germs in all these
cases. His wife was n hopeless consumptive
He began having her inhale continuously the
fumes given of by the boiling of ordinary
Toured sulphur in water. To his delight she
began TO mend, and in time was completely
cured. In other cases, the names and dates
OF which are too numerous for repetition, he
was successful
While Mr.. Heclert patents many of his
ideas he is quite willing that the consump-
tive public should have the full benefit of
this The apparatus is simply glass retort
with a spirit lamp beneath and Il tube from
which the patients may fill bis lungs with
the sulphur vapors. A solution of common
sulphur and water boiling in the retort will
produce the necessary vapor. So firmly con-
WINGED of the feasibility of the remedy has its
discoverer become, that nothing but his busy
life has prevented his urging some wealthy
philanthropist TO open a small hospital for
consumptives, where it may be given a fair
public trial.
Many an old custom, remedy or rule of
health had its root as firmly bedded in the
truth Us the most wv tangled OF modern
scientific maNins. Probably no one of tie
endless generations Of little Yankees whose
grandmotherS have dosed them with molassea
and birthstone, was ever convinced that the
medicine really did him any good. In fact
nothing more than Dickens familiar delinea-
ticns Of the motherIy Mrs. Squeers treating
her young charges to this nauseouS mess is

remedy. Yet if the word of this simple
hearted inventor and those Of some who
have taken up the study of the question are
TO be accepted, sulphur is the king of pana-

MARRIAGE BETWEEN COUSINS.
Scientific Opinions on Both sides OF tn

Scientific Opinions on Both sides OF tho
Question--An Anxious Inquirer.
This inquiry rs to the effects of such mar
riages on their offspring comes from a friend
in Oregon:
''Is not the common belief that marriages
between first cousins are objectionable some
what like the belief in the effect of the moon
upon planting of crops, shrinking of meats.
etc, merely coincdenccs. and not caused by
the moon? lam aware, Of course, that family
traits must be more pronounced IN the chill
dren but where both sides are mentally and
physically sound l can't see why such mar
riages should have the tendency to produce
unsouud children"
Though tho prejudice against such mar
riages has a sourder basis than mere supersti-
tion, their evil effects upon offspring seem to
have been exaggerated, except in instances
where there is a family pred!spoSitlon 10
serious disease In 1871, when the English
census was to be taken. Sir John Lubbock,
DR.. Plavfair and other scientific men made
an effort IA have statistics obtgined as to the
prevalence and consequeuces cf cousin mar
rageS, hut unfortunately they were defeated
by parliament which was silly enough to
treat their proposition with scornful laughter.
Afterward Mr.. George Il. Darwin. son of the
great Darwin, and himself man OF much
scientific reputation, undertook an invcstiga-
ton on lis own account, though in a COM
paratively narrow field, and reached the con-
clusion that, on the average, such marriages
did not produce the evil effects commonly
attributed 10 them.
But Signor Paolo MantecaZza, a professor
at Pavia, made Il somewhat similar inquiry
In 1865 and his deductions were that con
sanguineouS marriages are, on the whole,
more unfavorable to the offspring than
Others" and that "the nearer the kinship the
greater the danger" and Jhe more 50 when
the kinShip is through the mother. because
more evil or good Is herital,a from the
mother" Mr. Darwin himself acknowledges
that the prep0naerauce Of opinion among the
many authorities examined by HIN, is that tire
i'll effects OF cousin marriages are greater than
his partial investigation showed them to be.
DR.. CrichtoR Browne, Of tae West Riding
ASYLUM for lunaticS and idiots, expresses the
opinion that even healthy teasperaments,
when common to both parents, often come
out as decided cachezisa IN the children and
he goes so far as 10 contend thGt no persons OF
similar teHnpcraments ought 10 marry Or.
Lander Lindsay, of Scotch asylum, thinks,
on the other hand. that "the i'll effects OF
cousin marriages. including insanity, are
much less than represented" DR.. Arthur
Mitchell, who, as deputy commissioner in
,rnacy for Scotland, made very thorough
