STORY OF THE INDIAN MUrINY.

An English so!cior Who Waded In Gum
powder with a liked Light.
Mr.. Forbes-Mitchell. author of Rem
iniscences of the Great Mutiny," found
himself, says Youths Companio
without an overcOat after one of the
battles at Lucknow, and. being unable
to sleep for the cold got up in the
night, went into a room of the Shah
NuJeef-where his regiment was en-
camped-tOOk a lighted lamp from its
shelf and, shading it with his hand.
walked to the door of the great domed
tomb, or mosque, hoping to find a coat
which some SepOy in his hurried de-
parture had left behind him. He
peered inside, and then, holding the
lamp high over his head, walked in till
he was near the center of the vault.
Here he felt his progress obstructed by
black heap four or FIVE feet high,
which felt to his feet as if he were
walking in loose sand. He lowered
the lamp and saw instantly that he
was up to his ankles in loose gun
powder. About forty hundredweight
OF 1t lay in a heap before his nose,
while glance to the left revealed
more than hundred eight-inch shells,
all loaded with the fuses fixed, and
spare fuses, slow matches and port
fires lying in profusion beside the
shells
' Il took in the danger at glance"
he writes. Here I was up to my knees
In powder, in the very bowels of
magazine, with a naked light! NV
hair literally stood on end. l felt the
skin on my head lifting my bonnet off
my scalp. My knees knocked together,
and, despite the chilly night air,
cold perspiration burst out all over me
and ran down my face and legs. I had
neither cloth nor handkerchief in my
pocket, and there was not moment to
be lost. Already the overhanging
wick of the Indian lamp was threaten
ingto shed its smouldering red tip to the
magazine at my feet. Quick as thought
I put my left hand under the down
dropping fame and clasped it with
grasp of determination. Holding it
firmly, I turned slowly to the door and
walked out, with my knees knocking
one against the other. felt not the
slightest pain from grasping the burn
ing wick, until I was in the open air.
but when I ope ned my hand felt the
smart acutely enough. I poured the
oil out of the lamp into the burned
hand, and, kneeling down, thanked
God for having saved myself and all
the men lying around me from destsuc
ton. Then l got up, and, staggering
rather than walking to the place
where Capt. Dawson was sleeping,
and, shaking him awake, told him
of my discovery and the fright I had
got.
"'Bah, Corporal Mitchellr was his
answer. You have woke up out of
your sleep and have got frightened at
a shadow for my heart was still
humping against my ribs and my voice
was trembling"
The upshot of the matter was that
on seeing the cOrporals burnt hand
and the powder nearly half an inch
thick sticking to his feet and damp
CATERS, the captain was almost as
badly scared as Mitchell himself. The
sleeping men were aroused the fire
was put out as expeditiously as pos
sible, and a sentry was posted at the
door Of the mosque to prevent anyone
from enterinp

TRANSPLANTING HAIR.
A Queer Custom That Is Followe by the
Chinese.

A Queer Custom That Is Followe by the
Chinese.
One of the many queer things in that
queer land-China-is the occupation
Of hair transplanting. Wong Ching
Foo tells about it in the st. Louis Post
Dispatch.
Chinese superstition made the hair
planting business an imperative pro-
fession. Chinese physiognomists say
the eyebrows and whiskers of a man
are just as essential in their relations
to his success In life as his other quail
fcations. If the eyebrows are thin or
his whisl1ers are sickly, his luck will
be thin and his health will be poor.
Therefore, in order to stop the train of
bad luck which nature has unfOr-
tunately ordained for him, he orders
his eyebrows changed or replanted by
a hair planting professor.
This is done by first carefully pulling
out the rebellious or unlucly hairs in
the eyebrows. The next operation is
to select spot of hair on the neck Of
the patient or behind his ears that
would suit for a fine eyebrow, and re-
duce them down to the right length. a
tine pair or sharp plnchers is picked up
with the left hand, and selecting a
suitable-sized hair, the operator jerks
it out by the root, and with the right
hand he quickly pierces minute hole
In the skin of~the bald eyebrow in a
slanting direction, and while the point
of the needle-like instrument is still on
the edge of the hole, the root of the
pullad-un hair is carefully inserted
But if blood oozes out Of it before the
hair is planted the hole will not be
used that day for fear of inflammation
and not sufficient nutriment for the
hair to take root. This operation is re-
peated until every hair in the eye
brows is replanted or enlarged.
The patient usually experiences pain
in the eyebrows for about twenty-four
hours, after which he goes out and
shows himself to his friends
