away among these trees is the
palace of the rajah, and hard
by are the houses of his favorites, each

the homestead. Imphail may thus be
described as city of villages, or,
the palace. Straight. wide roads lined
with trees, frequently intersecting each
other at right angles, afford the means
of communication, but neither shop,
artisan, nor wheeled conveyance exists
in the city. Industry and skill occur
only in the distant rural hOmeS.''
The people of the capital are the pro-
NOTED favorites of the ruler, who have
had assigned to them plots of ground
near the palace, and. live by pressing
upon the prosecuted agriculturists of
the state.
The capital of Manipur is royal resi-
dence dedicated to luxury and amuSe-
ment. All are happy. The streets are
crowded with smiling. healthy faces, of
which few bear the marks of toll and
labor. There are no schools in the state.

neatly embroidered. A long piece of
cloth is cleverly carried across the

THE JAWS OF DEATH.
A Thrilling Incident. of Fifty
Years Ago.
Philadelphia Press. ~

Philadelphia Press ~ :-
About the year 1889 my grandfather
was inside superintendent of the Mes
quehoning mines, near Mauch Chunk.
At that time anthracite coal mining was
conducted OH rather primitive scale
as compared with the operations of to-
day, and instead of the present i'm
proved safety lamp, tall0w candles were
used by the miners. One day during
the noon hour number OF the men,
among them my grandfather, had gath
cred together at dinner. One of the
men had stuck his candle in some man.
ner fast to the wall, not noticing that
Immediately belOwit stood large open
keg of the heaviest blasting powder.
Unsuspicious of danger, the men
.chatted and ate their dinners. Suddenly,
without seconds warning. the candle
fell directly into the keg of powder.
Every man threw himfelf on his face,
expecting to be blown into atoms. But
the explosion did not come. For few
awful seconds they lay there, awaiting
death with fast-beating hearts. Finally
my.grandfather said: "Boys, l can't
stand this any longer. / am going to
get that candle=eut of there. All of you
lie just as you are" He sprang to his
feet, rushed to the keg. and there sight
met his eyes enough to shake the
stoutest nerves. Sunk deep into the
powder, but bolt upright, stood the can
die, with the flame a short half-inch
from the powder. Bringing all his re-
manning nerve to bear. he reached down
into the keg and carefully lifted the
candle out, 1t was-some time before
the men could realize that they were
out of danger, but when they did they
awoke the distant echoes of the old
mine with their cheers. However. like
the sturdy Englishman that he was, he
pooh poohed them back to their dinners
again. and SAID any one of them would
have done the same thing, giving as his
reason for doing it that he was the
nearest man to the keg.

HE NEVER FEELS COLD.
Silas Litchfield, the Strange
FrOSf-PrOOf Man and Samson

Humanity's manifold freaks are
dwarfed by the appearance of a man in
sensible to the differences of heat and
cold. His name is SilaS c. Litchtield.
and for thirty-fve years he has lived in
temperature averaging Sc deg. above
zero. In all those years Mr.. Litchfield
has had seven days vacation. The rest
of the time he spent in Subterranean
refrigerator.

so. Mr.. LItchtield, the frost=proof man,
has the reputation of being one Of the
strongest men physically that was ever
known around the market. In discuss
ing himself, Mr.. Litchfield said:
my name is Silas G. Litchfield, am
sixty years old. For thirty-five years l
have worked in this cellar, during which
time l had only seven days vacation,
and during the last twenty-sIx years
only one day off, when l attended the
fremen's muster last year. In my early
days was supposed TO be the strongest
man physically hereabOutS, and carried
the largest OK and hog that ever came

o'clock in the afternoon.

degrees into my So degrees ice-boX and
don't feel any different from what you
do going from one room to another. In
fact Eve got no feelin' as far as hot and
cold is concerned"
Mr.. LitchheId's employer speaks in
the highest terms of his employee, and
said that at one time Silas Litchfield
was considered the strongest man in
Boston. His insensibility to cold is due
entirely to his long life in the refriger-
atOr,
