some rajah of the past laid out the city and
made the property holders build after fixed
regulations. 1t is more like Spanish city
than an Indian town. The houses come
close to the sidewalks and they have bal
comics over them with oriole windows jut-
ting out az the second stories above arcades
which run below from house to house; they
are almost altogether two-story buildings,
and the painting of the whole is delicate
pink. Imagine miles of pink houses with
lattice-work windows through which you
may now and then see the eyes of high caste
Hindoo damsels. Let nut-brown fingers
here and there clasp the lattice-work and
through larger hole let here and there an
arm peep out. In some Of the balconies you
see turbaned men and boys sitting dressed
in the richest of garments and beside them
Hindoo maidens, their faces covered with
shawls and their eyes peeping out through
the cracks.

A REFRIGERATOR CAR.

vania railroad, in a pretty spot in what is
generally known as the ''Mall, which in
cludes all the grounds stretching out from
the Capitol to the Washington Monument,
is an old, square brick building, which is
the ancient armory of the capital city. Long
abandoned for all warlike purposes, it is
now the
CENTRAL EATCHING STATION
of the Fish Commission of the United States.
Down on the Potomac, at old Fort Wash
ington; and at Havre de Grace, on the Sus-
quehanna, are two branch stations, where
the bulk OF the shad eggs to be hatched are
taken, and the number of these is almost in
credible. Shad has been unusually numer-
GUS this year, and at times from $1,000, 900
to &c, 0,0o0, 900 roe would be taken in single
night. These are cleaned at the branch sta
ton by putting them in jars and passing
water slowly through them, and they are
then spread thinly on crates, covered with a
bit of cloth, the crates bound together and
shipped to the central station to be Matched
and thence distributed by the commission
cars or vessels to the waters tributary to the
Atlantic.
The shad are caught in all sorts of ways,
by fishermen employed for the purpose.
The roes are Immediately squeezed from the
females into jars, and into the same jars the
milk is squeezed from the males, and, as
when the pollen of the male flower is car
ried by the winds of heaven into the open
petals of the female flower the beautiful
and mysterious work of recreation begins,
SO it is with the ova of my lady fish and the
spermatic fluid of the male of her species;
they touch, they find their complement,
they thrill, they awaken, and a new fish is
born, which in its turn will produce its own
millions of eggs and lend its aid to people
the waters of the globe, to tickle the palate
of the gourmand and fill the belly of the
poor. For the work of the commission is a
grand one in the interests of cheap and

An Indian Stable,

I visited the Rajah's stables and took a
look at his horses There was a court for
exercise which covered, judge, something
like ten acres. and around this was b1ilt an
arcade of stalls rooted over with thick,
heavy roof to keep off the sun. There were
about half mile of these stalls, and each
of them was occupied by a fine, blooded
steed. There were horses from Arabia, from
Europe, America and India, and the tying
of each was different from anything 1 have
ever seen. There was strap from their
halters, which was fastened to rings just
above their heads, and each of their tour
feet had a separate rope, which was
stretched out toward the four corners in
front and behind them and tied at distance
OF perhaps six feet away to post. The
ropes were loose enough to permit them to
move their legs up and down, but they
could not kick nor stand on their hind legs.

one with a turbaned soldier on his back, and
there is another ridden by boy. On up the
street you See an elephant. 1t belongs to
the rajah, and its rider is one of the serv-
ants of the palace who is taking the beast
out for exercise.
Here are thousands of bulloeks with
humps over their shoulders, the sacred
cows of India doing duty as pack horses.
Their backs are loaded with panniers and
they are carrying along hay, stone and
merchandise. Here is one ridden BY a
turbaned Mohammedan, whose long beard
and long shoes turned up at the toes attract
your eye as he goes by. Here are horses
which prance along. They came from
Arabia, and among them are some of the
best steeds of the world. As you look at
them and their riders you have no doubt of
Jeypore being rich city. What gorgeous
costumes! These riders wear gold emb1oid-
cry enough to fit out the diplomats at one of
our Presidents receptions. There are gold
chains on their necks and their arms and
fingers are heavy with gold. They have
gold-embroidered turbans, costly gold vests

THE FINDING OF THE LAGOON.
Whether II Is the Original or a Copy nIny
Never BE Determined.

Whether II Is the Original or a Copy nIny
Never Be Determined.
From the Magazine of Art.
The LAGOON may be the original statue
bepraised by Pliny, but even that is open to
doubt. The history of the finding of this
statue was in this wise: It happened in 1906,
when Raphael, youth of fthree-and-twenty,
was painting in Florence. In the month
OF June messenger arrived in hot haste
at the Vatican to tell Pope Julius
IL. that workmeD excavating in
vineyard near st. Maria Maggiore had
came upon statues. The Pope turned to one
of his grooms and bid him run to his archi-
tect, Giuliano di San Gallo, to tell him to
go there at once and see about it. San
Gallo instantly had his horse saddled, took
his young son Francisco, who relates this,
on the crupper behind him, and called for
Michel Angelo, and awav the three trotted
through the hot and dusty streets, as we
may imagine, in great state of excitement.
When they reached the place they beheld
that agonized face which we all know so
well, and which many of US have tried to
copy SO often.
"It is the LAGOON of Plinyp' exclaimed
San Gallo. Mad with excitement, they
urged on the workmen, great hole was
cleared away, and they were able to contem-
plate that wonderful group, certainly the
finest monument of antiquity which had as
yet been revealed to the modern world
After this, as Francisco says, they went
home to dinner. How they must have
talkedl We can imagine the poor wife cry
ing despairingly to her lord. "Dear Giu-
liano, do leave off talking for moment, din
ner is getting quite coldr" should like to
have been there; but that is idle
The statue was transferred to the Belve-
dere, and then arose the question, was it
Piiny's LAGOON or a copy?--a question not
decided to this day. Pliny says that the
statue was carved by Agesander, Polydorus
and Athenodorus, of Rhodes, out of single
block OF marble. The LAGOON is in five
pieces. but very skilfully Joined.

The EIephant House.

1 next visited the elephant stables and
took look at the II great elephants which
the rajah owns. They have great brass
chains about their necks. Their tusks are
cut of about half way up, and they are
bound with heavy brass rings. One of them
has sort of tattoo work on its great. .ears
and forehead made in the patterns of CASH
mere shawl, and they are altogether bigger
than any elephants I saw in Siam or
Burmah.
At the invitation of the rajah's secretary
I took ride yesterday afternoon upon one of
them. I wanted to visit the ruins of the OLD
in the hills about four miles from the city.
An elephant was sent from the palace to the
foot of the hills in the morning, and when
arrived shortly after noon found it wait
ing for me. 1t was the biggest OF the
rajah's elephants, the one which had
great brass-bound tusks and the
cashmere shawl pattern ears, and
forehead, and upon its head there sat a
Hindoo elephant driver in a bright turban
and gown. He held prod-like steel hook
in his hand and his bare, brown legs clasped
the elephants neck just back of the ears.
He made the elephant kneel as our carriage
drove up, and a second servant took a step
ladder from his side, and, leaning this
against the beast, we mounted up the
side of the kneeling elephant and took our
seats on the cushioned saddle upon its top
Cautioning me to hold on, the driver then
gave the elephant a thrust with his prod
and the great beast climbed to his feet and
started off in swinging walk up the
mountain. The motion was swaying one,
and we went along at round pace, seated
as high up in the air as though we were on
the roof of village house. The servants
who trotted along on the road below seemed
very far down and the motion at first was
half sea-sick one. After half mile got
used to it, however, and began to enjoy the
strange ride.

ANOTHER CURE FOR CORNs.

Carbolic Acid and GIycerine Said TO be a
Certain Remedy.
One of the deadliest enemies of the chiro-
podist is short and simple recipe which
soon brings relief and immunity from the
exasperating agony which Is too sadly
familiar. Take equal parts OF carbolic acid
and glycerine and paint the corn every
night with a camel's hair brush, first bath
ing and carefully drying the feet. This
treatment, if patiently continued, is GER
tain remedy. It also gives great relief from
soreness by excessive walking il the mix

of friction between their respective duties as

substantially the same as they we're years
ago-before the railroad and the English
desire for business came in to grind them
up in the mortar of modern civilization.
One-third of the whole territory of India is

and the bits of their horses are often of
silver. They sit very straight as they ride,
and by the stirrup of each runs a groom,
now clearing the way for his master and
ever present for fear he might want some
thing. Here is herd of donkeys loaded
down with panniers so that only their legs
peep out and the loads seem to be walking
away bodily. They are no bigger than
Newfoundland dogs and their drivers, bare
legged, pound and yell at them in Hindos-
tanee as they drive tnem along without
either bride or rein.

tion for the work of Matching and distribu-
tlon is only $4,000, and with this the opera
tions for the current year Will be little
greater than for the year 1888. nSthat year
the shad fry distributed reached the enor-
nous number OF 156, ,000,0 000.. OF white tish
there were distributed 100000, 900, of cod
70, ,000. 900, of. pollock $4,000, 900, of West
Coast salmon II, 100000, and of other fish
several millions more. Even with this dis
tribution, which could be enlarged enor-
mously with an increased appropriation,
taken in connection with the work of State
commissions, it will be recognized that the
artificial propagation of fish in the United
States must bring labor and food and relief
to hundreds of thousands of the poorer popu,
lation.
1.-THE operations of the national commits
sion will extend as fast as the appropriations
of Congress will admit. Hatohing stations
are already scattered well over the country,
and new station, probably more extensive
than any now in existence, is in prpcess Of
construction at Put-in-Bay, in Lake Erie.
1t is expected that the immense drain upon
the fnny population of the great lakes
will soon be counteracted, and those waters
again filled with the delicious fish with
which they abounded few years ago. The
more important work of the seaboard and of
the large interior waters completely under
way. greater attention will be given to the
smaller lakes and inland rivers until the
vast scheme is so systematized that every
available water of the country will be re-
plenished faster. than the number of fish is
diminished, thus putting the finest food
within the reach Of almost the entire popu-
iation of the land, without money and with
out price, to all who will take the trouble to
throw a line into the water.

From the crates in which the eggs are
sent from the stations where they are
caught, these little globules of immovable
life are carefully scraped into the jars in
which they are Matched. It is jar in
vented by Commissioner Mcdonald himself
before he was advanced to the chieftancy Of
the Commission. 1t is very simple, and
vet perfect for the work it is to perform.
By an arrangement of pipes not necessary to
explain technically, fresh water is at ali
times passing through the jar and between
the eggs, and through these pipes also, the
dead eggs, which rise to the surface of the
water, are carried away. The water is kept
as near as possible to temperature of 90
degrees, and the fish hatch in from six to
eight days, according to the temperature of
the water. The proportion of loss is very
small, and is really nothing at
all compared with the loss which
occurs in the process of nature,
