IMMENSE INDIAN FORTUNES,

Decadence OF ths Habit of Hoa d ng
Vast Sums of Money.
The ancient oriental passion for
boarding appears, from +. C. Harri-
sons elaborate article on the circula-
ton Of the rupee in the Economic
Journal (Macmillan), to be gradually
disappearing, and is now believed to
be mainly confined to the old wealthy
families and princes. The original
cause, fear OF civil tumult has passed
away, and the presence OF an increas-
ing market for investment the sweet
simplicity of the 4-per.cents or fami-
ly misfortunes. sooner or later have
the effect OF emptying the family vault:
Notable instances of the dissipation
OF large boards have occurred in re-
cent years The mahara;a of Gwallor,
q Mahratta chief, lent the government
upward OF 80, 600, 000 rupees. of which
all but 8. 000 900 were in native coin.

lation principally OF sicca rupees)
has disappeared in litigation and in

of Arcot rupees from Madras and
Chilki rupees from Kashmir have
passed into our minis. In Bengal
several considerable boards of sicca
rupees have been found to exist in the
houses of wealthy landholders on the
occasion of their property passing into
the control OF the court OF wards Mr..
Harrison estimates the annual quasi
permanent disappearance of govern

When young college girls deliber-
ately renounce the comforts of their
position and seek to help their unfor-
tunate sisters by founding a home in
their midst their motives cannot rea-
sonably be questioned by those whom
they seek to benefit. In New York,
Boston and other large cities settle
ments have already been established,
and every day we read of similar I'M
dertakings in various parts OF the coun-
try. In New York the same students

CRIsP's HOUSE is TOO CARELESS.
Measures Pass the Body without suGi-
cient Inspection.

WASHINGTON, March z. - Speaker
Crisp's House, in matters of legislation,
is proving a rather careless one. 1t
was a constant complaint against Mr.
Reed that legislation slipped through
in an imperfect state. But there was
nothing done while Speaker Reed pre-
sided that compares with the perform
ances of Speaker Crisp Some time
ago the House passed the Oates
blackmail bill, which made it
possible for any statesman who
thought himself ridiculed to have
the newspapers or the correspondents
ridiculing them punished for black
mail. This was probably the grosscst
abuse of legislative power that ever
went through the House. The plea
was made that the Judiciary commit
tee, which reported and passed the
bill, did not know the meaning of the
measure. But if .he bill had not been
stopped in the Senate it would have
gone on the statute books, and de-
cision of the Supreme court would have
been necessary before it could have
been set aside as infringing the liberty
of the press.

A Word for the Cat,


Kittens are mystery Of the beautiful
and graceful. The wonder always is how
the feline tribe could have developed at
the same time Tabby and a tiger. But
Tabby, while owing much to human
friendship, has put us in deep debt in
return. You may laugh at an old maid
for petting cats; no one can live and
keep sane without a pet. l know a
woman who began with habits of ex-
traordinary neatness. She drove off all
the cats and gogs because they sold her
floors. Then she made war on flies, and
her horror was lest visitor should let a
fly into the house. Her windows were
darkened and her doors closed. At last
the woman went mad on tidiness. She
could not endure to have her husband
enter the house for fear fly would come
too.
OF course no one visited such a house
after awhile, and the poor creature was
quite daft. Old maids that love cats are
sensible. It is far better than to fall in
love with broom anda scrubbing brush.
But really what a marvel Of cleanliness at
well bred cat is They deserve cushions
and place on the fire rug.-Mary E.
Spencer in st. Louis GioJs-Dmocrd.

Fruit as Medicine.

Grapes come first, especially black
grapes, which are most nutritious, and at
the same time purifying TO the blood.
Grape cures are quite the fashion in some
parts Of the continent, and are said to
work miracles at times. Peaches also are
most hygienic TO the human system, as
well as being one of the most exquisite
fruits in nature. Nothing indeed is more
palatable, wholesome and medicinal than
. good ripe peach. Peaches, however
should not be eaten overripe. They may
be eaten at meals or between meals they
are particularly higienic when eaten at
breakfast. An orange eaten before break
fast will, it is said, cure dyspepsia sooner
than anything else. Apples are also very
hygienic, especially when baked or stew
ed They are excellent in many cases of
illness, and are far better than salts, oils
and pills. The juice of oranges, as of
lemons, is most valuable to make drinks
in case Of fever. Tomatoes are also ex-
cellent remedies in some liverand gastric
complaints, and are certainly more pleas
ant than medicine. Figs, raspberries,
strawberries, currants and cher ries are
all cooling and purifying TO the system,
while being nutritious at the same time.

Cleveland and Defeat.
Phniadelphia Bure,eu.

Philiadelphis Bulleteu-
The prospect is not one TO inconyeni-
ence OF alarm Republicans. Making due
allowance for the exsggerAtions of the
factional leaders, the fact remains that
New York is necessary to Democratic sue
cess and that Mr.. Cleveland cannot carry
New York. Mr. Cleveland has an
nounced, in his oracular fashion that he
can be elected without his own State, and
this announcement has been received
with an enthusiasm that is more eredita-
BILE to his followers zeal than good sense.
But the fact is no less clear. Mr.. Croker
may at the moment follow the example
Of John Kelly, and announce that Tam
many will support the nominee, but Mr..
Croker cannot control the voters. He can
not this manner control Senator Hill,
nor Senator Hills immediate friends. He
cannot control the thousads of voters
who turned from Cleveland offer his
tariff message Of 81. lie cannot control
the independent voters, who know his
referm pledges to be a farce. Neither
can he control that still more powerful
element which found in President Harri-
son the conservative qualities which it
desires to see exerted in the Presidential
Off ee. These truths are apparent to
every observer, and they will simpy turn
any probable love feast in the convention
into a screaming farce.
In the long history of American
politics there has been no clearer instance
Of a party walking deliberately into
political decentralization.
