WHAT AN 40 Do.

The symptoms of BilionsnesS are unlappilv hut
too well known. They differ in different individ-
uals TO some extent. a Bilious man i seldom n
breakfast eater. TOO frequently. alas. he has an
excellent appetite for liquids hut none for solids

ton at any time: if il is not white and fnrred. il
is rough. at all events.
The digestive system is wholly on, of order and
Diarrlca or Constipation may be Il symptom or
the two may alternate. There are often licmor-
rlioids or even loss of blood. There may re gid

The NATIVES oE INDIA
Their Remarkable Thrift and .Ab,tcmi-
OusncSs-Food aud Clothing.

ousncss-Food aud Clothing.
There is no a~Lstemiousnc>s in the world,
and no thrift, like the thrift and abstcmiols-
ness of the average native of India. Almost
alone among the working men of the worll,
he las raised himself nearly above wants,
has stripped himself of all the impcdimenta
of luxury. Millions of men i'll India. cs|c-
cially on tho richer soils and in the river
dcltas, live. marry, and rear apparently
healthy children upon an income which, even
when the wife works, is rarely above =. Il
week and frequently sinks to sd. The In
dian is caablcti to do this not so much by the
%chearncSs of ~food-for. though 1t is cheap. n
European who ate the same food would want
five times the money merely to feed himself
--as by u habit of living which makes him
independent of the ordinary cares of mal-
kind.
He goes nearly without clothes, gives his
children none, and dresses his wife i'll II Ion,
piece of the most wretcnei muslin. Neither
he nor his wife pay tailor on millincr one
shilling during their entire lives. nor do they
ever purchase needles or thread. which. i'll
deed. it is contrary I" Il semi religious cti-
quctte ever % use. The poorer peasant inilab-
its Il hut containing Il single covered room
of the smallest size, with an carthcn i,!.l-
form or two outside it; and as he constructs
and repairs his own dwelling he virtually
pays no rent, except for the %cul;ulahle la,rl.
He never touches alcohol NJ any substitute
for it. There is an idea in England that l.,
eats opium or hemp; but he, as a rule. swal.
lows neithet-frstly, because he regards th.m
with as much moral antipathv as any Ing
lish gentleman. and, secondly, because lie
could not by any possibility pay for articles
which in India, as everywhere else. are eN
ceedingly expensive.
He eats absolutely 40 meat, nor any ANNA
fat. nor any expensive grain like good wheat
but lives on millct or small rice, a little milk,
with the butter from the milk, and the vcge
tables he grows. Even of these he eats more
sl,aringly than the poorest Tuscan. Once Il
quarter, perhaps, he will cat enough, curing
some festival. but MS n rule he knows arcu.
iatclv what will sustain him, and would he
onlagcd with the wife who cooks for him il
she prepared more. He is assisted in this
economy 10y n religious rule which we have
never seen a Hinl"o break, and which is un-
doubtelly, like the rule against killing oxen
a survival from a military law or custom of
the most remote antiuuity.-The SlNrtator.

school for Married Women.

sometimes think I would like to open u
school for the education of married women
teach them 10Y to keep their husbands. 1
think American women, more than any
others in the world, need this school. The
English woman, when she keeps her husband,
does it because she is II fine animal: the
French woman is clever enough to combine
the material and intellectual, but the Ameri-
can woman, having been petted until she is
quite spoiled, thinks the raan, once gained, is
always owned, and docs not believe the
coquettisl wiles used by the maiden at oil
necessary for the wife. Poor little donkey!

What Il hard life there is before her.-"Bab'

A VENEZUELA COUNTRY INN.
Airy Rooms with Stone Floors-Bats as

airy AkOOu1B WIN StOno tlOOrS-lSatS as
Room Matcs-Eatables.
Tho usual country inn all over Venezuela
reminds me of those of Mexico, Spain and
even northern Africa, for the Moors intro
duccd their mode of living and travelling into
Spain, and the Spaniards adopted it for their
own country as we'll us for the colonies, which
they founded only a few years after the
downfall of the Moors. All these posa,las,
or %f"n,!as, or fonditas, are built in square
shape, with an interior courtyard, frequently
adorned with flower beds and palm trees and
surrounded hy galleries. The traveller, after
descending from his horse, is usually hownto
one of tn" few large, airy rooms. with stone
floor and high ceilings, in which three or
fur folding beds, consisting Of a piece of
canvas stretched over a wooden frame.
and probably one or two chairs, are the
only pieces of furniture. In larger towns
of 5000 to 5000 inhabitants there will he
even a wash table, but its presence is not in
SISTED upon by the weary traveller, who can rs
we'll d"his washing in the river OF the ace4uia.
Sometimes one room has to be shared with
two or three fellow travellers, invariably
men, for l stopped at po>tdas where female
travellers have not been seen for years.
There are. of course, no glass windows in any
of the country ''hotelS," but tho windows are
barred with heavy iron gratin.s and wooden
slaves. On convenient places under the CELL
Ing there are iron hooks and rings, for the
wcalthicr traveller frequently carries his own
hammock, on which, suspended across the
room. he prefers to pass the nights sheltered
against the attacks of ccntipedcS. scorpions
on minor bloolthirSty things, hut without
defense against hats. some of which are very
large. ! dit not sleep in many rooms with
out Il few bats as room mates. Even in pri
waite houses on the hacicndas of the Weather
planters they fitted about the room. When
they 'ceame too familiar and approached

them out of the window: but they invariably
returned, without, however, ever settling
dow on my face.
One might be able 20 keep snoring fellow
travellers out o. the room 10y engaging all the
beds. hut sometimes, when guests are numer
ouS and accommodations Scanty. one cannot
help sharing the room with them. The al

4 Nnl-EI, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Probably the most exciting and novel Gil
t,rtaiuncnt WAS that in which some bows
were participating near the corner of One
lIunlrrl and Twenty sixth street and st.
Nicholas avenue. where high mass of rocks
is being blasted. y big derrick, worked ly
hand, stand alongside the rock. The luvs
attached the tackle to a flat rock. once OF their
number took his seat on it. and then they
| hauled him high i'll air and swung the der
rick al,nnd rapidly. 1t was so great fun
that each boy clamored for his turn to ride
on the derrick. and begged to- lo allowed to
remain up in the air for a longer period, hut
his comrades dropped him to the ground
| very suddenly, and there was no appealfr from
their action.
y vacant lot nearly opposite tho derrick
Contains Il slianty, a goat shed, and usually Il
,%lcinlre gnat. SCllc young lads use the lot
every sunday as Il football ground. They
were kicking the ball about with great glee
when the goat came ont of the she'd and Mrs.
Doolan, its owner, anne to the door of her
si,anty. The goat gazed with disapproval Oh
the bounding ball, then leveled its horns and
went ont To meet it. The encounter was not
conducive to the goats peace of mind. and it
essaycd another attack. The boys by COM
mon consent made the goat the goal of the
game and pcltel it with the big ball until it
was knocked over on its side, and Mrs. Doc
Ian rushed among them to rescue it and bare
ly escaped being hit herself.
AT one point near the end of old Broadway,
where the houses are poor and the people
likewise, some lads We're playing horse. They
rugged up an old soap box on wheels into
something like a fire engine. a hoy at a dis
tant point pounded OIL a tin pan as a mimic
alarm of fire, and the portable soap box
drawn by fleet footed boys quickly responded.
One of the horses lost his shoe and a young
stcr, whose father is q blacksmith, took Inn
aside, took his foot between his legs, after the
manner of a smith shoeing a horse, and ham
mered the shoe back into place.

PONY AND DOG CART.

While the soap box brigade were waiting
at the roadside, u dandyish little boy from one
of the mansions on the boulevard came along
driving Il pretty black pony hitched to n dog
cart. Instantly the poor boys, whose soap
box looked more mean than ever beside the
handsome dog cart, greeted the driver with
such: "Wllere'd ye git de meat wagon!'
''Oh, take lie plug pony away" The boy
quickly turned his stced about and drove
away to escape the criticisms of the fire
brigade. He found, however, that lie hal
jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.
He turned down on the broad boulevard near
One Hundred and T%hirty-filth street, and ran
into Il crowd Of boys who We're playing
hockey, which some have called pedestrian
polo. They fairly filled up the street and
were knocking the ball hither and yon with
great energy. In one of its flights it hit the
pony, which reared, turned sharply about,
and nearly threw the lad from his seat. He
tried to drive in an opposite direction, only
to encounter another of the gangs of hockey
players that virtually take possession of the
boulevard on Sunday, and he was compelled
til take a cross street and q roundabout way
home.
Just before you reach Manhattan street OF
the boulevard you pass some old si.an1ics.
There is ut least one goat to each shasty.
Two boys crept into the slianty village and
lassoed a goat Of the color of a dirty door
mat. They led it away despite its protest,
rugged up Il bride, put an iu,provlscl bit in
its mouth, and whipped it into Il cantcr.
They drove it upand down the street, and
then n moment of unwisdom born of tee
much fun they galloped it near its residence

cular woman dashed among the drivers ant
retaincrs of the goat and scattered blows o,

"Ah. ha, yc young spalpcens! Dive caught
ye now. Now oi know why me goat keep
