About a Beauty.

The late Marchioness of Waterford
was n of the e%reateat beauties Of
her day. When she was to be pre-.
sented, her mother, Lady Stewart de
Rothesay, took her to the Court
painter, MI. Hayter, who was greatly
struck with her refined girlish beauty,
her divinely tall figure, and her
golden hair rippling on her forehead.
On his expressing his admiration,
Lady Stewart de Rothesay quietly I'M
tied the combining bonnet and let her
daughters magnificent hair stream
over her figure. The sun was shin
ing into the studio, and MI. Hayter
used to tell how he was dazzled by
the vision of loneliness before him,
clad, as the artists vision told him,
in a vesture Of gold. The hair
reached far below her knees. Some
years afterwards when the wife Of
the handsome Marquis Of Waterford,
she lay at deaths door in fever. The
doctor condemned her magnificent
hair to the shears and Lord Water
word allowed no hand but his own to
execute the sentence. Those locks
were buried with him, twined round
his neck.

HI INDIAN p
rhe Coin Is. Very Much to India. What
the Dollar Is to Us.

The Coin Is. very Much TO 1n0la VSn0S
the Dollar Is to Us.
Since the suspension by the Indian
Government of the free coinage of the
rupee considerable attention has been
ca1led.to this often-heard-of but little
known coin of the Orient. The rupee
in India is very much what the silver
in Harper's Weekly. 1t has this differ
ence, that while in India the rupee is u
current coin in active circulation, the
bright silver dollar with us finds it's
representative in the dirty dollar bill.
1t is true that. the Government of In
dia issues from its treasury notes of
values ranging from five rupees up-
ward, but these have in no way Super
seded the popularity of the rupee.
Every servant of government, from the
young assistant magistrate to "the gem
eral commanding" gets his pay in real
white metal.
But what is the value of a rupee?
"Ah, there's the rub" 1t depends en-
tirely whether you are Governor Cen
eral, or the private soldier, or merely
an officer of the army, the magistrate
of a district OF some other ordinary
person. To his excellency the Viceroy
and Governor General of India the ru-
pee is worth exactly two shilling of
English money, or SO cents of Ameri-
can. For by statute these extraordi-
nary persons get their rupee ut par
value in England. But to ordinary be-
ings the case Is far otherwise. For the
past twenty years d. more the depre-
citation of the rupee has been simply
alarming. At one time it's value was
beyond par, but gradually its worth de-
scended with rapid strides, and some
time ago the value of the rupee was
fixed at n shilling and four-pence.
The great manipulation of the rupee
in India is the mahajan, OR native
banker. This man of money does not
trade in stocks or gamble according to
the fashion of these civilized days, but
he deals in interest-such interest as
would have rejoiced the heart of Shy
lock. AS he takes no security, he con-
siders % per cent. a very just demand,
The leading city bank of q native town
usually consists of q table placed at
the corner of the street, upon which
the banker and his assistant are seated
cross-legged ION Change, with piles of
silver, t%ransacting the money dealings
of the people. At sunset the piles Of
coin are cleared away and placed in q
deep recess within the bankers little
cell, v e which he or his assistant
sleeps the livelong night. Sometimes
he is killed and the money stolen, but
this seldom happens.

LAKE PUMPED OUT FOR ORE.

Heavy Deposits of Iron Under Seventy
Feet of Water In Michigan.
Few pieces Of engineering work
were ever undertaken that exceeded
the ,pMmping out: of Lake :Aageline,
near lshpeming, Mich where pumps
have been, working !; for sixteen
months. The water is all, gone now,
but apparently the hardest part Of
the work has still to be accomplished,
says the New York Evening Post.
The lake lies near the southern part
of Ishpeming, covering l6O acres, and
was 10 feet deepin the middle.
1t was for a long time the source
of that city's water supply, until the
growth Of the town about its shores
contaminated the water Under the
bed of the lake lie the largest IRON
ore deposits ever discovered. The
ore was discovered some ten years
ago, when a diamond drill was set on
the frozen surface Of the lake one
winter, and a hole drilled 600 feet
down below the bed of the pig iron.
Large ore bodies were cut by the
drill, and the three mining companies
owning the ground under the lake
began devising means to secure this
valuable ore.
The greater part of the lake was
owned by the Cleveland Iron Mining
Company and the Lake Angeline and
Lake Superior Iron companies. The
first and second named companies did
more or less work under the surface

ger Of a rush of water from above
rendered it imperative that the water
be taken out Work was begun last
spring before the snow left the
ground, when a rotary pump with a
capacity of 10000 gallons per minute
was anchored in a barge in the cen.
ter of the lake, and began pumping
water into a big fiume elevated
twenty feet above the surface of the
water. The pump has been going
day and night. allowing for occasional
break-downs, and the water has only
recently been drained all out
Now. however, remains a serious
question to be settled. There is Q
bed of mud from two to forty feet
deep owe the bed of the former lake.
This mud is kept moist by under
ground springs, from which the water
bubbles up. Big tubular stand-pipes
pierced with myriads of small holes
hardly larger than a needles point,
are being forged into the mud, into
these the water filters and is pumped
out. The surface of the bed of the
lake is more t%reacherous than quick
sand, for any heavy object thrown on
it is quickly engulfed. Several mar.
row escapes from drowning have
taken place. 1t will take sixteen
months longer to get rid of the mud.

WALTON's FARM

Hadn't you better subscribe for
it?:m
81 tell you, no. I haven't got the
money to spare. And, If I had, 1
haven't got the time to waste over
newspapers" said Eben Sawyer, with
some emphasis.
"But you will gain much informa-
tion from it in the course of a year,
SIR" pursued John Walton.
81 tell you, l don't want it,"
This was spoken SO fatty and
bluntly that Walton said no more,
but folded uphis prospectus of a peri
Odical which he had with him, and
then turned away.
Eden Sawyer and Ben Grummet
were two old farmers-that is, old at
the business, though they had only
reached the middle age of life-and
after their young neighbor had gone
they expressed their opinions con-
corning him.
"He'll never make q farmer" said
Sawyer, with a shake of the head.
"He spends too much time over those
papers and books of his. He's q lee
tie mite above farmin', in my opin-
i0n."
ssThose are my sentiments" re-
sponded Gummet. 81 tell you, Eben,
the man that thinks to make a Iivin'
on a arm in this section has got to
work for it,"
At this juncture Sam Bancroft
came along. He was another old ma
tive of the district.
1--WE was just talkin' about young
Walton" said Sawyer.
Hes rlppin' his barn floor up, "said
Bancroft.
"Rippin' the floor up!" repeated
Grummct "Why, the whole floor
was put down new only three years
ago"
"'The tie-up floor. I mean,' pur-
sued Bancroft. He's got a carpenter
up from the village; and his two hired
men are helpin'."
"Whew! I guess he'll make Q
farmerl"
And SO they all guessed-with a
reservation. In short. there was
something highly ridiculous in the
thought of a mans thinking to be o
farmer and q student at the same
time.
John Walton was young man, and
though he bad been born in the
neighborhood, yet much of his life
had been spent in other sections of
the country. His parents having both
died, John had married, and now
had turned his thoughts to making a
living out Of the old homestead.
Ben Grummet had a curiosity to
see what was going on in Walton's
barn. SO he dropped in there. He
found that the whole of the floor,
where the cattle stood, had been torn
up and that they were digging a
wide, deep trench the whole length
Of the tie-up
"What on airth is all this for?:"
asked Ben.
