| -Consul-general Merrill writes from
| Calcutta to an Indiana friend: "There
is no place in the world where men are
so costly and cheap. One mans sole
business is to take care of dog. Two
men take turns in tanning master as
they call him, and the tanning is kept
up day and night. A person who
always looks on the bright side of things
can take comfort, perhaps, in knowing
! That thousands of poor wretches earn a
miserable living by tanning other men.

bancd servant standing by your bed,
breakfast-tray in hand, or how disguised
you become when he brings your socks
and trousers and insists on putting them
on you, as If you were baby. An
American feels the meanest, however,
when he gets off the cars at n mountain
village where there are no drags, and
climbs up the hill to hotel, followed
by woman on whose back his trunk is
strapped and in whose arms is a baby"
