A HINDU JEWELER.
Bangles of the Choicest Design Manufact-
ured from English Florins.

One of my companions, having made
a bargain with the smith, handed him
three English forms which he desired to
have manufactured into one bangle of
the choicest East Indian design and
workmanship. The coolie man heated
the coins, cut them into narrow pieces,
of which he welded the ends together,
using hammer and anvil, thus making
a bar four or five inches long, and,
as | remember, two or three lines in
width and thickness. Covering one
end of this strip of metal with damp clay,
to protect his fingers from the heat the
bangle maker stuck the silver into the
diminutive charcoal fire, which he set
aglow by blowing through tube similar
in appearance to glass blowers pipe.
When the metal was at dull red heat he
beat it soundly forging it round and
smooth to the diameter of telegraph wire;
then, carefully bending it in a circle,
joined the two ends, welding them to-
gether neatly and with dispatch. This
done, and the joint having been covered
with rough mass of hot silver fashioned
into ball of the size of a small cherry,
the Hindu held out the half finished
w Oul luSltNtlOu anu approval.
He next smoothed and polished the sur
face of the ball by hammering; then he
graved and stamped it with various dies,
cutting simple, conventional patterns of
irregular design.
Next. having selected a small silver
serpent from an assortment of ready
made devices and charms which he kept
in a cocoanut shell, he plunged it into
the fire, and blew through his blowpipe
until the cobra became blood red. Pinch
ing the reptiles tail between two bits of
moist clay, the Hindu drew it from the
fire, and, before it lost its angry hue,
deity corkscrewed the emblem of i'm
mortality around the wire of the bangle
in four complete coils, all the time tap
ping the snake here and there gently
with his mallet, in this way fastening it
securely in its place. Plunging the orna-
ment into a calabash of cocoanut oil, he
waited till the serpent ceased kissing,
and the Indian bracelet was then ready
to be clasped en- the wrist of whomso-
ever gallant gentleman had in his mind
when he found it in his heart to give the
order for it.-William Agnew Patton.

A Cat and Dog Hospital.

The room was small, but scrupulously
clean. HANGING on the walls were cham
payne laS'-ctj that had lc-'~ ago served
their PR acoc, AID now al, instead of
bottles of the sparkling wine, quantities
of clean straw, upon which, much after
the fashion of the bench show, dogs of

tended. or were indulging in a philo-
sophical reverie of the futility of all
doggy ambitions Above these baskets
was long shelf, upon which rested
number of large cages where cats in
various stages of sickness were i'm
pIisoned.
"What do you think of my hospital?"
the old fancier asked. "Do you know
that l have cured more cats and dogs
here of their maladies than any other
fancier in this city? But l pay much
more attention to cats than do to dogs.
Whenever any person who has a valuable
cat desires to leave town or when the
cat becomes i'll it is often brought to me
to be cared for. Cats are profitable, be-
cause the best bred of them do not have
80 delicate an appetite as the petted cur,
and their recuperative powers are much
greater than dogs"
'Oh goodness, yes; the Toms when
sick are very quiet and self contained.
In fact, cat accustomed to good society
is usually most philosophic beast. I
seldom have seen a pet Tomcat, even
when very sick, attack another. But
Tabbies they are cautious. When fe-
male cat is ill, this world is too small to
hold her, and if there happens to be a
| Tom about, she makes his quiet life a
thing of scratches and snappings sufii-
ciently to make him think the earth
desert with no oasis. l always charge
more to care for a Table than a Tom,

l think that cats are Just as faithful as
dogs, but they are faithful to places more
than to persons. l have had cats come

the knowledge of their owners. New

An Ancient Right of Way.

and the present lord chief justice being
of the company. They passed down Pat
terdale by Ullswater. and. leaving the
chaise they struck across some fields to-
ward the castle. Suddenly the path
ended in blind wall. The poet NUT
tered something, and attacked the fence
as if it were a living enemy, and crying
out, This is the way, an ancient right
of way, too, passed on. That evening,
after the ladies had left the room, Mr..
Justice Coleridge said to Sir John Wal
lace, who was a near resident and a
guest: "Sir John, fear we committed
trespass today; we came over a broken
down wall on your estate" Sir John
seemed nettled, and said that he wished
he could have caught the man who broke
it down; he would horsewhip him. The
grave old bard at the end of the table
heard the words, the fire flashed into his
eyes, and, rising to his feet, he answered:
