A FALSEHOOD EXPOSED.

1t has been constantly asserted, espo-
cially since the strike on the Reading road,
that the coal miners Of Pennsylvania were
largely the bcnefciarics of tho tariff on
coal. Indeed, some Of the protectionisis
insisted that they were the chief beneficial
rics. Tho fact is the contrary of this is
the truth. They are not bene6ciarics
by the tariff and are in no degree better of
than their fellow miners In Europe, al
though they average larger output per
annum than the best workers In the coal
mines OF that continent, the English. Tie
Philadelphia Record makes this plain from
the statistics and facts furnished by Con-
sular Report No. GA, which makes the fol-
lowing instructive contrast:

An East Indian SYbnrite.

The death Of the last king of Oudh de
prives Calcutta of a 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 all his own
sepoys from Cawnpore, 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 menagere
fell away of late, but some years back it al
most rivaled the famous collection in the
London 200. A tank something like $50
yards square was covered with storks and
pelicans and swans, and had ample well
wooded rambling grounds around it. The
smaller birds were sheltered in lofty aviaries.
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 a magnified ant hill was fixed in the CEN
ter of large square we'll, and was carefully
surrounded with water Here the snakes
were segregated, and 500 of them lived in the
narrow holes with which the strange build
ing was artifcially 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
''One who knew him" writes that he led a
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 at 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 quails
would be brought up to fight before him.
He had, we are told, n 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
smoked the hookah. Times of India

ii is lost. A park policeman stood 'one day
talking to him, inside the rail by virtue Of
his office. Crowley sat on the floor close by
brand new white gloves. Very gently he
pulled the tips of the fingers one after the
other, quietly loosening them, till suddenly,
like flash, he snatched it Off and bounded
TO the back of his cage In vain the hapless
policeman commanded and coaxed, begged
and threatened Mr.. Crowley, entirely I'm
moved, sat calmly down to enjoy his prize.
First he put it on his hand, using his teeth to
help, and then held it up for the audience to
see, with every finger spread, grinning with
delight. But not being able TO arrange it to
his satisfaction he tore it 10 strings, and
passed happy fifteen minutes while reduc-
ing it TO its primitive state of thread, holding
one part in the bend of the thigh-the
monkeys convenient pocket-while he worked
on another.
On another occasion one of the park men
went inside of the rail to speak to the chin
panzee. Crowley sat quietly on the floor
looking at him and thrusting his hands out
to play, as was his custom.
"Look out, theren' warned the keeper.
"Oh Mr.. Crowley knows me- was hardly
out of his mouth in response before Mr..
Crowley fastened his fingers upon the lapels
OF his coat one on each side, and gave them
such jerk that the man was dashed violently
against the bars, and the coat split down the
back like so much paper.-Olive Thorne Mil
