him to come and see her on a certain evening,
promising to make it pleasant for him. At the
appointed hour boy, dressed in his best,
came, and for an hour and more the lady and
her daughter laid themselves ont to amuse

Jeypore is in the land of the Rajputs, one of
the highest castes among the Indian peoples, a
land OF warriors and of chiefs who have figure
ed in Indian history as even Gsbrave. The Rajah
of Jeypore has come down through 139 genera
tions from one of the Hindoo gods, and he is
now the rich Governor of this country. He
has Capital like no other you win find any
where in the world, and Jeypore rs the most
interesting city in India.s Imagine town in
which all the houses are of rose-red hue. Let
them be built with balconies aud areades, and
let the hot sun of the tropics shine down upon
wide streets filed with camels, donkeys, sacred
cattle, and men and women clad in the gorgeous
costumes of the Orient. Put turbaned Ma
homctans with long gray boards and red
leather shoes, the toes of which turn up like
old fashioned skates, along with singing
Nautch girls, half-nak ed Hindoo water-carriers,
and fierce looking savages from the country
districts ou the roadways; let elephants with
gay trappiugs move along through the crowds
ridden by the Rajah'5 officials, and mix with
the whole rich Rajputs riding Arabian horses,
and you get some idea of this city, which is as
big as Cleveland or Washington. You note as
you walk through its streets that many of the
men carry swords, and you feel that you are in
city of warriors The people seem to be
prouder than those of the rest of India, and
find this State under native ruler apparently
more prosperous than many of those governed

The liyelest scenes of Jeypore are towards

here in the hotel yeranda last night. IL is
fair sample of others have had with the Eng
lish residents of this country. Whether Madam
Blavetsky be reformer or not, she has not
left many believers in the land in which she
has worked the most and the reputation she
has here is that of a smart slight of-hand per-
former who is in the business for all she can
get out of it.
In the meantime am surprised to find how
many Americans believe in Theosophy and
Buddhism. Two of the most ardent of English
Buddhist thinkers in Japan are Prof. Ernest
Fenolossa, the japanese art critic, and DIR.
Bigelow, the collector for the Boston Museum.
Both of these men are eollege-bred and highly
cultured. | am told they think that Buddhism
is peculiarly adapted to the Western mind and
that it will eventually have a large number of
followers in the United States. Here in India
l have met some Americans travelling who be-
lieve in Buddhism, aud know we have some
Buddhist societies in the Eastern cities. AS
for my own observations, see nothing in the
results of the religion to wish that it be the
faith of America. The squalor of Siam, the

pore into the country, and there were wild
monkeys by scores in the groves, and wild pea
cocks summed themselves, without moving, by

sacred to the Buddhists and Hindoos, and the
high caste Hindoos will touch no animal food.
They will eat no meat whatever, and they
would rather die than eat slice of beefsteak.

sooner than him who kills a sacred cow.

Still, this other Hindoo sect which works the
cow is very large, and there are as many sacred
cows yoked to carts as there are garlanded
with flowers. At Jeypore saw them loaded
with paek-saddles, carrying hay, stone and
merchandise; and common sight over India
is the sacred cow with two great skin bags full
of water slung on both of her sides and fast
ened together on her back. Each of these bags
would hold the contents of washtub. Here
in Bombay cabs are hauled by sacred cows and
their turbaued drivers make them go at a good
round trOt by twisting their tails. 1 note that
some of the tails have their brush-like ends
twisted off, and that the beasts have to switch
at the flies with the stumps.

bars, which the ape attempted to seize.
At length small hand looking glass,

brandish it like n hammer when sud-
denly he was arrested by the relectioQ

After looking puzzled for moment,
he dartcd his head behind the glass TO
find the other ape, which he evidently
supposed to be there. Finding nothing,
he apparently thought that he had not
been quick enough in his movements.
So he raised and drew the glass nearer
to him with great caution, and then,
with a swifter dart, looked behind; and
again finding nothing, he made the at

He now grew very angry, and began
to beat the frame violently on the floor
Of his cage. Soon the glass was shat
tered and pieces fell out Again he was
arrested by his own image in the piece
Of glass still remaining in the frame, and
he resolved to try again. More carefully
than ever he began, aud more rapidly
than ever was the final dart made.

no bounds, and he crunched the frame

Disease Of the Heart.

In diseases of the heart which persist
for long lime and finally end, as a very
large proportion Of them do, in slow de-
cline and lingering ieath, dropsy al

most intraclable symptom, and adds
greatly 70 the suffering experienced. In
the treatment, physicians have been
wont to depend largely upon q diet OF
milk, which, i'm cases where it Is well
borne and can be persisted in, alwaysacts
well. But there are many patients who,
for various reasons, cannot be kept on
milk diet for any length Of time. To
some it becomes abhorrent after a while,
and others really cannot digest it prop
crly. as simple food as il is And besides
that. milk diet is really uusuited to no
