LIFE IN HINDOSTAN.

in the Jungle. fc

A Buffalo IN. W Lady Writes of Her Homo
A In the Jungle. Ec%
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 a 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. &
1t appears that she had to serve as
architect, master, builder and general
boss mechanic. First, she bought four
yoke of bufralos to do the teaming; then
a few big trees-they are very scarce in
that part of the country. She employed
a hundred natives. or nearly that num-
ber, 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
f 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 a great pest of the
country. Evidently good job was
made of the wall, for Miss Graybiel in
genuously relates that an Englishman
visitor inquired who had beea 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 cart drawn by 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 Hindosian. Buffalo Cour-

There are only ten persons in a

let me tell you that when you hear any
noise that indicates the presence in
