A year or two ago, while trying case of
the district judge of Lahore,
Mr.. E. W. Parker, described in his judg-
ment the manner in which native news
paper can be started and worked Little or
no capital is needed "a few rupees will
purchase the necessary photographic appa-
ratus, and the services of small establish
ment, comprising a writer, copyist and
pressman, complete the arrangements" Al
most without exception vernacular news
papers are Autographed, movable type being
for the most part unsuited for the presenta-
tion of Oriental characters A photographic
press will cost under Els complete. The
editor, in whose name the paper is usually
registered, may be a smart lad fresh from
school on n monthly salary of 81, and there
are few editors who would not gladly aban-
don journalism for government post worth
ESQ year.
News is mostly obtained by the simple and
uncostly process of translation from the Eng
lish daily papers, the latest story from the
bazar being thrown in occasionally by way
of sensation. A native paper rarely sells
more than a few hundred copies, and the
working expenses Of n circulation of 800 need
uob bc lHOIt iilstll lllOulll, ever
cluded, from printers ink to the editors
salary. The price of a single copy of the
paper ranges from farthing to penny, or
thereabout, Wealthy subscribers are e1-
pected to pay higher rate for the paper
than the poor. Strange devices are adopted
in order to obtain an additional income in the
shape of subsidies and grants in aid. As
likely as not the paper is the mouthpiece of a
society or of some private patron with q
cause to asitate or an enemy to defame. By
many editors blackmail is levied without
scruple from native officials and others who
would stand well in the eyes of the public
and in the estimation of the authorities, from
all who are afraid of having their family
secrets proclaimed from the housetops, OF
| who wish their good deeds noised abroad.

In addition to that chief remedial
measure-the use of Hostettcr's Stomach
Bitters-persons suffering from an acute
bilious attack, will facilitate recovery by
the use at first of milk and lime water
and thin gruels, and by very gradual
return to the use of solid foods. Fatty
substances should be excluded from the
diet. Blue pill is remedy Of doubtful
safety, particularly if there be nausea and
vomiting, frequent concomitants of liver

medicines claiming to cure rheumatism

couraged until about two weeks ago. when

The effect of waist belts upon the work
done by healthy heart has been accurately
studied by means Of an instrument called
cardiometer. Experiments upon dog
showed that with but a little pressure upon
the abdomen the abdominal vessels are
capable of containing all and more than all
the blood in the organism Slight compres-
sion of the abdomen will, without disturbing
the arterial supply, drive out from the sb-
dominal veins and venous capillaries large
amount of blood; and this blood so driven
out will, as long as the compression con-
tinues, be of use for the other regions Of the
body-for the brain, muscles, etc Flaccid
abdominal walls are from various circum-
stances rather the rule than the exception in
the gentler sex, and, among men, occur In
those leading sedentary lives devoid of ex.
ercise. We are, therefore, brought 70 con.
clude that among women some form of waist
belt is very advantageous Moderate con.
striction does no harm.-New York Sun.

SIR LAUNCELOT.

Near Camelot the rivers meet
The lane where once he rode with her;
He rides and sees dull wind stir
The pallid waters at his feet
He hears the windless tbickets stirred
By some wild creature. Ger the grass
He sees the hawks gray shadow pass.
Yet knows 1t not from leaf or bird
For he has come where fancies reign;
Now though he fees he soon returns;
Like flames his heart within him burns;
His mind is like a turning vane.
In crypts he vainly tries to pray;
There troop the burdens of gay songs;
In crowded inns he jests of wrongs;
But feels his great heart giving way.
His soul is like hunted thing
'Twixt hell and heaven. Each kiss that drey
Their lips together thrills anew,
And then become serpent's sting.
