sharp-knife, sword or spear-thrust at
Trejago in his boorka. The stroke missed
his body, but cut into one of the muscles
OF the groin, and he limped slightly from
the wound for the rest of his days.
The grating went into its place. There
was no sign whatever from inside the
house-nothing but the moonlight strip on
the high wall and the blackness of Amir
Maths gully behind
The next thing Trejago remembers, after
raging and shouting like mailman be-
tween those pitiless walls, is that he found
himself near the river as the dawn was
breaking, threw away his boorka and went
home bareheaded.
What the tragedy was-whether Bisesa
had in a fit of causeless despair told
everything, or the intrigue had been dis
covered and she tortured to tell; whether
Durga Charan knew his name and what
became of Bisesa-Trejago does not know
to this day. Something horrible had hap
pened, and the thought of what it must
have been comes upon Trejago in the night
now and again, and keeps him company
till the morning. One special feature of the
case is that he does not know where lies
the front of Durga Charan's house. 1t
may open on to court yard common to
two or more houses, or it may lie behind
any one of the gates of Jitha Megji's bus
tee. Trejago cannot tell. He cannot get
Bisesa-poor little Bisesa-back again. He
has lost her in the city where each mans
house is as guarded ard as unknowable as
the grave; and the grating that opens into
Amir Nath'sIgully has been walled up.
But Trejago pays his calls regularly, and
is reckond "A very decent sort of man.
There is nothing peculiar about him ex-

European Armies.

It appears that it is practically impos.
sible to ascertain the fighting strength Of
the Germany army when placed on war
footing, on account of the complicated
arrangements by which portions of the
territorial forces are worked into the
strength of the regular corps. The
present peace establishments of Germany,
France and Russia, are as follows Ger
many, SS4 battalions, 465 squadrons, 364
batteries, 1900 mounted guns, 19, ,457
officers, ass, 400 rank and file. France,
6,763 officers, 534, 100 rank and file,
4S0 field batteries, with 2060 mounted
guns. Russia, 848 battalions, or 1885,.
312 infantry, 1928 squadrons of cavalry,
with 81, 416 men; 344 batteries of field
artillery, with 1912 mounted guns and
61, $50 men, 33f battalions of engineers
having 1S, ,977 men, besides 81, 130 men
of the "train" service, making a total
of 562, 500 men. To these should be
added 28S squadrons of Cossacks num-
bering 81, 944 men; 112, $50 local troops
and ~, 634 reserve men, which will bring
up the strength of the Russian peace es-
tablishment to 799, 92S men. The Rus
sian forces when on war footing are
estimated as follows. 994, AGO men of
regular troops, with 4030 pieces of ar
tillery; 2S0.S10 reserve men, with GAO
guns; 1877, ,730 Cossacks, with 240 guns
of their own; and 1S9, 500 supplement
AIRY reserve men, with 3S4 pieces of ar
tillery. This estimate is exclusive of
local troops. The war footing strength
of France is estimated at "about" the
following: Active army, about 2,000,-
900, divided into ten classes, according to
age: 1922, 900 of the territorial army,
divided into five classes, according to
age; and reserve troops, divided into six
classes, numbering 762,000 the total
amounting to 3,764, 900 men.

4 Delicate Operation on LiOness.

Yesterday morning Keeper Havens, of
the Gress Zoo, performed very delicate
operation.
The silver lioness, "Mollie," chewed
up piece of raw beef, which the butcher
had chopped up with a cleaver, leaving
some fragments of bone in the flesh. 1t
is not the custom of the keeper to give
the animals flesh that contains any bone
at all. In this instance sharp silver of
bone pierced the lioness' gum on the out
side of the jaw, next to the cheek, Just
below the left eye. The place swelled
up and festered, and the animal suffered
great deal of pain. Her head was
swollen, and she was unable to eat.
Yesterday morning Keeper Havens
went to the cage, and by coaxing the
lioness, he got her to lie down, and then
he slipped ropes over her fore feet,
stretching them to either side of the
cage and tying them securely. "Mollie"
kicked and struggled until the keeper
fondled her awhile. After she was Sc
cured he entered the cage all alone, and,
taking her head between his knees, he
cut small incision in the cheek, took
his lance and drew out the silver, an inch
in length.
He did the work all alone, and no one
else was present during the performance
of the operation.
Yesterday afternoon, after she had
been released several hours, he visited
the cage, and she met him with a graft
fed look, holding the wound up to the
bars of the cage as if she were glad that
he had performed the operation that re-
lieved her, and she appeared as docile
and kindly as kitten, although she had
been fierce and resentful before.-At-

Maori OratOry.

The native orators of New Zealand
agree with Demosthenes that "action" is
the first, the second and the third char
acteristic of eloquence. A short time
after Bishop Selwyn settled in New Zea-
land it became necessary to remove the
Episcopal residence and college from
.Waimate to Auckland. The native
Christians of the former place opposed
the removal, and one market-day there
was a great deal of speech-making on
the subject in front of the Bishops
house.
A powerful Maori orator opened the
debate, his audience being seated on
either side of the path leading to the
residence. Dressed in handsome native
mat, and holding a spear in his hand, the
orator began by trotting slowly up and
down the path. He began each sentence
with a run through given space, and
ended it just as he finished his run back.
Growing warmer and warmer, he
rushed backward and forward, leaped
from the ground, slapped his body,
shouted and waved his spear. A
stranger, ignorant of the language, would
have thought that the orator was breath
ing out death and destruction; but he
was simply urging the Bishop to stay at
Waimate.
Two missionaries who had been long
in the land replied to the Maori orator.
One, stout, old-fashioned English
clergyman, with broad -brimmed hat
and spectacles, adopted the Maori action
so far as to march up and down the path
with a spear in his hand. His "action"
ELECTED shouts of applause.
His brother, taxing a spear, marked
out a large space on the gravel walk,
divided it into three parts, aud then
asked whether it was not fair that the
Bishop should live in the middle of the
diocese instead of at the end. Con-
vinced by the marked-out space, the
people exclaimed at is just"

Cut the white of cold fowl into neat
fillets, using a sharp knife. Mark each
piece with mixture made of one table
spoonful of minced capers, two of minced
boiled ham, three hard-boiled eggs, an

Biting Its Own Body.

Bill King, of Fairburn, Ga, has a
horse that has hydrophobia from all ap-
pearances. The horse at intervals has
spasms or paroxysms. 1t bites its own
legs and feet and breast. It is terrible
to behold how it fastens its teeth in its
own flesh and tears the skin and flesh
from its bones. King says the horse bit
him on his arm, but he did not think
anything of it until his horse became un-
manageable and he tied around his neck
a rope and tied the rope to tree in his
lot. The horse would catch his leg in
his mouth and bite and pull it until he
threw himself on the ground, then he
he would turn and wallow on the ground
for some time, then he would get quiet,
gently get up and stand still awhile. In
few minutes he would commence his
antics again and bite the'tree near him,
then the rope, and then he would bite
his breast and pull the flesh off in strips,
then he would catch his legs and pull
and bite the skin off in strips, then he
would catch his leg in his mouth and
pull and jerk until he would fall to the
ground. Every one was afraid to go
near him. Some suggested bleeding,
but no one was found who would under
take the job. Your correspondent and
others suggested that the horse be shot
and put him out of so much suffering
and pain. The last seen of Mr.. King he
was hunting for some one TO shoot his
horse.-AtLanta Constitution.

Electric Light and Plants.

In the course of a recent lecture before
the Royal Society, England, DR., Siemens
placed a pot of budding tulips in the full
brightness or the electric hight in the
meeting room and in about forty min
utes ~ expanded into full
blo0M DR.. Siemens's experiments have
been made with quick-growing seeds and
plants, like mustard, carrots, swedes,
beans, oucumbers and melons. The pots,
the lecturer stated, were divided into
four groups, one Of which was kept en-
tirely in the dark, one was exposed TO the
influence of the electric light only, one
TO the influence of daylight onlNand one
to daylight and electric light in success
sion. The electric light was applied for
six hours each evening-from 5 to IL
and the plants were then left in darkness
during the remainder of the night. The
general result was that the plants kept
entirely in the dark soon died; those ex-
posed to the electric light only or to day
light only throve about equally, and
those exposed to both day aud electric
light throye far better than either,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS,

Ham should be broiled very quickly,
and just enough to cook through.
Tin cleaned with paper will shine bet
ter than when cleaned with flannel.
Save the juices that drain out of roots
and steaks to add to stock for soups Y
meat sauces.
Treat tired or inAamed eyes with q
bath of warm water five parts and witch
hazel one part, three times day.
If the eggs you have to use for frost
ing are not quite as fresh as you could
desire pinch of salt will make them
beat stiffer.
Remove the unpleasant odor of perspi-
ration by using a teaspoonful of ammonia
OF powdered borax in basin of water
when washing.
Flowers can be kept fresh for some
time if pinch of soda or saltpetre is
added to the water. Wilted roses will
regain their freshness if dipped minute
or two in hot water.
A tonic for the hair is composed of
one-quarter of an ounce of glycerine, six
ounces of cologne, twenty drops of tine
ture of capsicum, one and one-half drains
tincture of Spanish flies.
The practice of rubbing the face with
yaseline OF other cosmetic sometimes
makes the hair grow where it is not be-
coming. Camphor applications, like
other irritants or stimulaRt he skin,
will cause superfuous hair.
All freshly baked bread should rest on
a wooden table, with a cloth thrown
lightly over it until it is cool enough to
put away, when you should wrap it up in
another crash towel, one that is perfectly
dry. BY this means you will keep all
mustiness out of new box.
Rub chalk all along the edge of the
door that "sticks, then close 1t as near
ly as you can. The chalk will only
come off on that portion of the door op-
posite the part that needs planning to
ease the door. So you need not waste
your wood and time in planning away any
other part.
Cheese which will instantly and in
tensely redden blue htmus paper should
not be eaten. This is test easy of ap-
plication, and every merchant on cutting
fresh cheese should make il. If the
cheese is dry, a bit of it should be moist
ened with water and the litmus paper
then applied.

Where would Snowman Barnum be if
all the world had the same opinions of
monstrosities as the Chinese have9 en-
quires the London Figaro. A woman in
the Fukien province recently gave birth
to boy with four eyes. The mother
was very much frightened and wished to
have the child killed, but the husband
would not allow it to be done. It was
finally agreedto exhibit the child for few
days to prevent such an unfortunate affair
ever occurring again in the family. The
Chinese believe that such deformities
are caused by evil spirits. After it had
been ON view for some time the mother
put an end to the child's existence by
drowning it in a tub of water.

All In q Hurry.

A druggist the other day drew a long
breath as he wrapped up prescription.
81 presume, said he, "there's never any
one who comes into drug store who is
not in a hurry. They all rush in as
though death were impending in the
family, and demand to be waited on at
once. If they want only cake of soap
or a tooth brush it must be had without
delay. This is particularly the case with
women, but there are plenty of men who
are just as bad. A woman who will spend
an hour in drygoods store to buy two
cent package Of hair pins, will come into
a drug store for ten cents worth of per
fumery and insist that all work on pre-
scriptions stop at once until she gets it. 4"

The Costliest Book Extnnt.

The Vatican Library, at Rome, cele-
brated for its thousands of valuable
books, has a copy of the Hebrew Bible,
for which Pope Julius, in 1912, refused
5000. The would-be purchasers
were a syndicate of rich Hebrews. They
did not exactly offer Julius S125, 600 for
his biblical treasure, they simply told
him they would give its weight in gold.
AS the book weighs 325 pounds the offer
made is equivalent to the figures given.

The mild weather in the early part of
winter during the past two seasons, has
led many to suppose that the Gulf
stream, whose influence upon the wealth
er is considerable, is approaching nearer
to the Atlantic shore. The photographic
bureau of the Navy Department is max
ing efforts to discover whether or not this
is true, and captains of Atlantic vessels
are being asked to take observations of
the temperature as they cross the ocean.
The influence of the Gulf stream proba-
bly, does not extend west Of the Rocky
Mountains, however, and the present
winter has been unprecedentedly warm
as far west and north as Lake Superior.
Some other influence is probably causing
the change.
