AS n IS IN INDIA


An Accident to sHlndoo md The Ouuss-
quenccs IL Entailed.
The Indian papers report that son,e
time since. In tho ,neighborhood of
Fyzabad, q man Of the Ahir, Or cow
herd caste, was carrying q young calf
home on his shoulders, when by some
accident It slipped down and broke its
neck. The Brahmins declared him TO
be outcast and sentenced him to the
severest form of Hindoo excommumicar
ton for six months They further told
him that he could not have committed
a greater sin than causing the death Of
a COW, but, taking into consideration
that he was an uneducated man, they
had dealt very leniently with him.
During the period of excommunication
he was ordered to lead life Of
mendicancy and with rope round his
neck and portion Of the calf's tail on
his shoulders he was to perform pil-
grimages to different Hindoo shrfnes.
The members Of his family were forbid
den to supply him with either shelter
or food under a penalty Of undergoing
similar excommunication. The Ahir
recently returned to his village, but un-
til the publication ceremonies are over

"The baron was great person for IN

projects, and was in very reduced cir
cumstances. Still, he kept on with
them, living on but very little. His
midday meal consisted Of piece Of
bread and small bit Of sausage. Peo-
pie called him the crazy baron. Among
his inventions was continuance for
snuffing out candle when It burned
down to the danger line.
''This was for, the benefit Of folks

TRlCKEO THE DRUMMER.
Tho Clever Scheme of some Maine Prac-
tfral .rolers


Tho Clever Scheme of Some Maine Prac-
tical Jolsers.
The town Of Dexter, Me-, boasts the
hardest-hearted set Of wags to be found
anywhere. The most Of them are con-
sta ntly on the lookout for the subject
of q practical joke. and hardly day
passes that they do not find one. The
latest, related by the Lewiston Journal,
Is on the fresh cigar drummer who
thought his merchandise better than
anything of the sort on earth. In his
travels he carries in his coat pocket a
big cigar case and advertises himself
and his goods by giving freely of his
brands to any who will smoke them.
He was in Dexter this week. The day
was hot and he left his coat and cigar
case on chair while he sat in a cool
ing draught in the door. One of the
jokers got rubber comb and broke
out twenty teeth. They were small
and sharp. Into the end Of each cigar
a rubber tooth was pushed, and with
small nail the tooth was driven in out
Of sight. The tobacco leaf came to-
gether, completely hiding the tooth.
Then the jokers waited for the fun.
Soon the cigar man, now we'll cooled
down, began business Going into .
store he first gave away cigar. which
the intended customer began to smoke.
Soon the air was ordoriferous. not with
q sweet and fragrant smell, but with
one not unlike that Of old gunlocks or
burning rubber boota The customer
sickened and threw away the weed, and
said he had on hand cigars enough to
last all summer. Another dealer had o
similar experience. Still another was
given days nausea, and when that
drummer got through with his gifts he
was hated by nearly every cigar dealer
In town He packed his goods in sor-
row, and does not know to this day
that an old rubber comb from the sta
BILE box of hostler wrecked him COM
mercially in Dexter.

There are, no doubt, some reasons for
thinking that there may have been once
water on the moon, but It is now GER
tain that there is no liquid ON its Sur
face, nor indeed can find much reason
to believe that there Is even frozen
water there, as has been sometimes sup

that two constituents which are 30
abundant here should seem to be en-
tirely wanting in the moon, and it is On
interesting subject for speculation as to
what has happened to the water on the

generally believed that as our satellite
cooled down the water penetrated into
the interior, and w8s there seized upon
by the minerals which required water
in order that they might assume their
appropriate crystalline forms The
water on the moon has, therefore, ac-
cording to this view, been transformed
Into q solid form, incorporated with the

planation Of the absence Of liquid water
from tho moon or not, the fact of that
absence cannot be questioned

SOUND ADVICE

Tho Canadian Promiers Admo0ft1on 70 .
Young Reporter.
A young shorthand writer was once
told to report speech by Sir John Mo
Donald, says Spare Moments. Now It
happened that the Canadian premier
had come to the house from a dinner
party, and his speech in matter and
form was Of decidedly postprandial
character. The youthful reporter. how
ever, could not believe it possible that
Sir John would want editing. and took
down every word. His editor, on see
ing the copy, told him it would not do,
and as 1t was not wanted for the next
morning he was advised to go and see
Sir John and get him to correct it. The
reporter, on being shown in, found Sir
John, as usual, exceedingly affable.
Having explained the object of his visit
notes aloud This he did, while Sir
John lay on sofa listening with face
Of extreme solemnity to his own inco-
herencies, and correcting them as the
occasion required. When the notes
were finished the premier arose, laid
his hand on the young mans shoulder.
and began in the most fatherly Of tones:
~ see exactly what has happened
Now, my dear young friend, am an
Old man and you are young one, and

This is a representative body of live western men, selected by cham bers of commerce of the different towns and cities west of the Mississippi river. Delegates are also appointed by mayors of the different cities also by all the business exchanges and the county supervisors of each county in all the states and territories can each ap- point one delegate.
 The governor of each state and ter ritory appoints ten delegates each.
 It is the largest and most important organization in the west, and it's resolu- tions and opinions, have weight with congress at Washington in moulding legislation for the Trans Mississippi country, It brings together and broad ems the views of the best men of the new west, and by comparison of pro- gressive methods, assists materially in the development of the country.
 There were 500 delegates at the last session and Governor Prince of New Mexico was permanent chairman, and did much to make New Mexico promi- nent and secured strong resolutions in favor of statehood for his territory and Arizona.
 This territory should have good del- egation at the next congress at Ogden, that will impress Arizona favorably upon those assembled on that occasion.

STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA.
THE HEAT OF THE FUTURE.

HE r1EAi UT TIE FO OnEs
 If the electricians are not mistaken, the question of cheap fuel for regions beyond the reach of cheap wood and coal, and perhaps of cheaper fuel for those within those regions, is about to be settled.
 Heretofore natural gas has been con- sidered the most perfect fuel for house. hold use, but if the electricians are right it will not be long until our homes are heated by method as superior to natural gas as natural gas is to soft coal The time is near at hand, say these electricians, when we will only have to press button and the electric current will do the rest without smoke, dust, ashes, profanity or danger of ex- plosion.
 This is not all prophecy. Some of it is already accomplished. Cooking ves- sels are even now in uee to which wires are. attached in such a manner that when connection is made with tho electric current sufficient heat is i'm parted to make water boil or to cook victuals. With so much already &C., complished we have good reason for pinning our faith to the electricians when they promise ns still more.
 What 8 comfort such method of heating and cooking will be when it is brought to perfection Not only will it save any amount of discomfort in the way of dust and dirt and kindling of fires and smoky chimneys, but it will enable the mistress of the mansion to reach out from her warm bed, touch button and the fires will be started. If she has made proper preparations the night before the breakfast may even be started to cooking and be al- most ready by the time she has had her forty morning winks. And while she is doing all this her lord and mas- ter can sleep on peacefully, undisturbed by any feeling that he ought to be out building the fires.
 And while they promise us all this convenience the electricians promise us also, that we can, when this millen- nium comes, heat our houses at much less expense than now.
 We have faith in their ability to pro- duce the heat, but the matter of ex- pense is another thing. That depends upon the patentees of the necessary ap- pliances and upon the corporations that produce the electricity. Experi- ence has not taught people to expect cheapness from them.
