The Raiah's Palace.

The Rajah's palace is in the center of his
capital. 1t covers a great area and the
palace garden with its flowing rivers of
water, formed by fountains squirting out of
stone bed, would be large enough for a
farm. His Majesty is now in Calcutta, but
arrangements had been made for my visit
and note from the English Secretary,
Major Hendley, gave me a dark-skinned
palace guide and 1 was shown through
court after court of marble and taken
through room after room furnished with
rich Persian carpets and with satin-coYered
chairs and divans of European make. In
one palace there was an immense billiard
room and in this and the room adjoining
the skins of tigers and leopards were scat
tered about by the hundred. They lay in
great piles on the floors They were hung
on the walls and some of the divans were
upholstered with them. / vent through
room after room filed with such skins, and
I was told that the beasts were all killed by
the Rajah, who is very fond OF tiger hunting
and who is an excellent shot. was shown
the outside of the palace containing the
harem and the arrangements for keeping it
cool struck me as rather peculiar. Outside
of the main hall and running along one
length of the palace was a series of great
tanning mills not unlike those used bv the
American farmer. These were turned by
half-naked men and they thus kept pump
ing up drafts into the rooms beyond.

Magnificent Jewels.

English merchants of India cater largely to

iewelry set with diamonds worth fortune.

and the other 81, 4,O0O The first was dia-
mond of about the size of hickory nut set
around with cluster of small diamonds as
big as peas and the whole affixed to finger

hunting case for a Waterbury watch. The
other was the same size as to the gold, but
e>centrsl stone was ruby fully as big as
q chestnut, and the diamonds about it were
very beautiful. The tops ofthese rings were
as large around as old copper cents and as 1

''Oh, we sell these to the rajahs. They
want the most extravagant iewelrv, and
some of them fairly cover themselves with

A Busy ThronR.

Below in the decades are shops in which,
sitting cross-legged with goods piled around
them, are merchants selling the thousand
and one things used by the people, and out
in the street rushing here and there, moving
along leisurely, now chatting, and now
talking business, is the most motley throng
OF native men and beasts you will find in
any city. Here is little caravan of camels
-long-legged, gaunt, bumped animals rid
den by bare-legged men in turbans who bob
up and down as the camel rocks its way
along Many of the camels are led and the
drivers ride them with rope fastened into
theil noses. They sit on the hump and pound
the camel with a whip or cloth. There
is one camel ridden by a woman.
Her bare legs clad in bracelets are
astride of the hump and her one eye peeps
out as she directs the driver where to lead
the beast. Here is one carrying stones.
Great long flags are tied on both sides of his
hump and he goes along with his lip down,
pouting like spoiled child. Here is anoth-
er being loaded with lumber, and as the
rafters one after another are tied to his back
he blubbers and cries like baby, and as
you look at him you see the tears rolling
down from his proud, angry eyes. Here is

Some nrobnmmedan Women.

The crowd on foot is as gay as that upon
horseback and your eyes grow tired in try
ing to catch and distinguish the strange
characters you meet. Here comes a party
of singing girls dressed all in red and gold,
singing strange songs as they dance through
the streets. They are not bad looking, and
their limbs are loaded with anklets and
bracelets. Here come some Mohammedan
maidens. They are fine looking women, but
their dress is hideous. It consists of shor
waist and pair of thin. drawer-like panta-
lettes which are very wide at the waist, but
which taper down into tights at the calves,
Here low caste women are breaking stones
and there you see dozen of them going
along with baskets of broken stone upon
their heads. They throw it upon the road
and a corps of brown-skinned men, their
limbs clothed only in waist-cloths and their
skins shining with perspiration, are crush
ing it into bits with stampers. As they do

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH FRANKLIN FILE

ehanted her at first, but familiarity had
blunted the keenness of her appreciation.
As shown to her anew, it was like fresh
disclosure. Gerald Heath stood holding
aside the boughs, which otherwise obscured
part of the landscape, and seemed like an
exhibitor OF some wondronsly big and
beautiful picture. Miles away were hills
rising behind one another. until they left
only a little of sky to be framed by the cave
OF the shed, as seen by the telegrapher. The
diversities OF wilderness, distantly strong,
inrugged forms, butindistinct IN details, be-
came gradually definite and particular as
they came nearer and were suggestive OF con-
seious design where they edged broken,
tumultuous river. Overlook was shelVed so
high on a precipitous mountain that, from
Mary's point of vision, the foreground al
most directly underneath passed out of her
sight, and it was as though the spectator
stood on platform before painted can
vas too spacious for exhibition in an
ordinary manner. But in this work the
shapes and the eolors, the grandeur and the
beauty, were inconceivably beyond human
copying.
Gerald Heath appeared to feel, however,
that if he was not the painter OF this
enormous landscape, he at least had the
proprietary interest of diseoVerer, and it
was with something of the air Of an art col
lector,N proudly extolling his choicest
possession, that he turned his eyes from it to
Mary Warriner. The expression of admir-
alton on her face, although quiet and deli
cate, was quite satisfaetory-for a moment
only; and then the denotement Of delight
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-09

passed out of her visage, as though expelled
by some physical pang. 1t was the sudden
ness of the change, for it was of itself very
slight, that made it perceptible. Gerald in
stinctive!y turned to look for the cause.
Into the picture had come ahuman figure.
A few yards in front of the hut stood
man. In relation to the landscape far be-
yond he was gigantic, and the shade of the
trees made him devilishly black by con-
trast with the sunlight Of heaven that
illuminated the rest. He was thus for an
instant in silhouette, and it chanced that
his sharp outlines included a facial pro-
file, with the points of mustache and
beard, giving satanic suggestion to an ac-
cidental attitude Of malicious intrusion.
The illusion was almost startling, but it was
momentary, and then the form became the
commonplace one of Tonic Ravelli, who
walked under the shelter.
"Do-a 1 eentrude?" he asked, with an
italian accent and an italian bearing. 81
supposa no-eh? Thece ees plaza bees
ness"
Mary's small departure from business
like perfunctory manner ended at once.
She took scrap of paper which Ravelli
laid ON her desk, and, without a word,
translated its writing into telegraphic
clicks, Rayelli was a sub-contractor, and
this was one of his frequent communications
with officials at the company's city office.
The response was likely to be immediate,
and he waited for it.
'sTo get the full value of this view"
Gerald Heath resumed, and now he ad-
dressed himself to Mary directly, as though
with almost purpose of ignoring Ravelli,
to whose greeting he had barely responded,
s'you need to come upon it suddenly-as I
once did. We had been for months blasting
and digging through the mountain. Every
days duty in that hole was like a spell of
imprisonment in q dark, damp dungeon.
And your men, Ravelli, looked like chain
gang of convicts."
"You woulda no dare say so mooch to
theira faces" Ravelli retorted, with an in \
science that was Enthusiastically intentional.
"Oh, didn't mean reflection on them,"
said Gerald, disregarding the others quar-
relsome aggressiYeness. "We all look ras-
cally in the mud, drip and CRIME OF tunnel
work. And your gang OF swarthy Italians
are bound to have a demoniac aspect under
ground"
1t was more carelessly than intentional
that Gerald thus provoked RaVelli. There

his own strength, and nearly twice his age.
With italian quiekness, RaVelH grabbed
Gerald's knife from the desk, against which
he was flung. He would have used il, too,
if self-defense had been necessary, but he
saw that he was not to be further molested,
and so he concealed the weapon under his
arm, while Gerald strobe away, unaware Of
his escape from a stab.
HE is-a one beeg bully" said Ravelli,
with forced composure. "Eef a lady had-a
not been here"
"You tormented him." the girl inter-
rupted; "I once saw the best natured mas
tiff in the world lose his temper, and turn on
a." She stopped before saying 'cur,"
and added instead: IF he was foolish, you
were not very wise to tease him."
''He is-a what to you, Eat you take-a hees
part?"
She bit her lips in resentment, but made
no reply.
"Parehaps he is one-a lover oof you?"
Still she would not reply to his impert-
nence, That angered him more than the
severest rejoinder would have done.
20, 1 am sure-a zat he ees one suitor."
She gave way at length to his provoca-
ton, and yet without any violent words,
for she simply said; "You are insulting,
while he is at least reasonably polite-when
he heeds me at all, which isn't often"
"Not-a often? But somewhat closely he
hsed-a you. See zat."
With an open palm he struck the place
on the sapling where Gerald had whitfield.
The spot was on the outer edge, where Mary
could not see it from her seat. She went
around to the front of the primitiVely con-
structed desk, or higher counter, to crafty
her curiosity. There she saw that Gerald
had carved hand-her OWL hand, as she
instantly perceived. The small and shapely
member was reproduced in the fresh pale
wood with rare fidelity. She had uneon-
seiously posed it, while working the key Of
the telegraphic instrument under the jack
knife sculptor's eyes, and there had been
ample time for him to whittle fac simils
in the birch.
'He is almost as impertinent as you are"
she said, and turned to see how RavelD
took the comment.
But Ravelli had disappeared.
Then, being alone, she laid a hand Of
own coquettishly alongside its W

philanthropio possibilities. Indeed, the COM
mission in its incipiency, i III am not mistaken,
was merely a scientific bureau of the Ma
'tional Museum, and has only taken its pres
ent shape through the efforts Of those en-
gagged in the work who recognized the i'm
measurable good to the people Of all classes
that would result from an extensive propa-
cation and distribution of fish by arti-
fetal instead of natural methods. It is in
reality a farming of the waters by the
National Government, under true and con-
scientious scientific direction, just as the
new school of economists insist the land
should be farmed, by intelligent direction of
Government agents, for the benefit of the
people, and not by ignoramuses in the in
terests of private profit.
1t is the desire of Commissioner McDon-
aid to accomplish the erection of a great
central station IN this city, which shall con-
tain aquaria for the exhibition of fish of all
kinds, and as an annex of the National
Museum. AT present the exhibit is very
meager owing to lack of space. e. W. L.

Gerald began to again nonchalantlY wh1ttle
the birchen pole. 81 was going to tell how,
when at last broke ethrough the rock at this
end of the tunnel, happened to be right
there. A blast tore out an aperture several
feet wide. We saw daylight through the
smoke. We rushed pell-mell over the
broken stone, and struggled with one an
other to get through first. 1t was-why, it
was you, Ravell, wasn't it?-whom tus-
sled with. Yes, we got into the breach to-
gether. You tried to push me back. You
couldn't-of course, you couldn't" and the
narrator's reference 10 his own superior
strength was exasperatlngly accompanied
by glance not free from contempt.
SECT was-a all cen fun" Ravelli smil-
ingly explained to Mary, and then his eyes
turned darkly upon Gerald. "Eef eet had-a
been one earnest fight" the different re-
suit was vaguely indicated by hard clinch
of fists and a vicious crunch of teeth.
1t was beyond doubt that Ravelli could
not bear to be belittled to Mary; but she and
Gerald were alike inattentiVe TO his exhibi-
tion of wrath.
''No prisoner was ever mora exultant to
escape" Heath went on, "than I was 70 get
out of that dark, nOisome hole into clean
sunlight. 1 ran TO this very spot, and
we'll, the landscape was on view, just as 1t Is
now. 1t was like getting from gloom out
into glory
The young mans exuberant words were
not spoken with much enthusiasm, and yet
they had sufficient earnestness to prove
their sincerity. He had stopped whiting,
and his knife lay on the desk, as he turned
his back against the sapling, and rested both
elbows on it,
$50 I've been writing to the President Of
the company, urging him to defect trihe,

tunnel to see landscape worth a thousand

very latest day for changing the survey.
Tomorrow will be too late. That is why
I'm telegraphing so urgently"
Click, click, click. Mary went to the
telegraph instrument. She delivered the
message by word of mouth, instead of taking
it down in the usual manner with pen.
"Gerald Heath, Overlook" she trans
lated from the metallic language of the
instrument 'Your idea is foolish. We

Of India. 1t is days ride, from Bombay,
not far off from the borders of Afghanistan
and some distance south of Cashmere and

1t is bigger than Omaha, Denver or Kansas

city of Washington. Its main street is two
miles long and 100 feet wide and this is inter-
sected at right angles by other streets of the
same width and the whole is cut by narrow
streets into rectangular blocks. The roads are
better macadamizsd than those OF any city
OF the United States. They are as hard as
stone and as smooth as floor. The houses
on the main streets are regularly built and

have revenues of their own, levy taxation as
they please and organize their people and
armies on different basis from the English
portion of India. They are subject in a GER

have English officers connected with their

England, and England does not allow them
to make war upon each other, nor can they

might find some valuable things at Jeypore.
