A hotel in India is in some respects quite
unlike hotel anywhere else in the world.
Every guest has servant of his or her own.
The hotel has some servants, but the guests
do not depend upon them ut all. My serv-
ant takes care of my room, brings me my
tea and toast when | arise, prepares my
bath and waits upon me at table. He also
keeps my clothes clean and my boots
blacked, sees to my laundry, gets me car
riage when / want one and does my err
rands. When travelling, he will attend to
the tickets and the luggage and make my
simple bed on the cars, for India is coun-
try of magnificent distances, involving con-
siderable night travel. There are no regu-
lar sleeping cars like ours, but the seats are
long enough for the passengers to stretch
out on and wide enough to make reason
able couch, which the traveller provides
with his own thin mattress, pillow and
wraps The number of servants in great
hotel is confusing at first. In long cor
ridor you see one before each door. They
usually sleep there, wrapped in a sheet or
blanket and curled up on the fioor.-Bos-
ton Herald.

FRAUDULENT LOTTERY SCHEMES
Clever Devices and Bogus Circulars by
which Many People Are Being
Swindled.

NEW ORLEANS La, June 2S lS9i-Since the
louisiana State Lottery Company removed TO
Honduras and resumed business under the
name of the Honduras National Lottery Com
pauy, the patrons of this great concern have
been eager bait for clever operators, and every
month thousands of people are taken in by lot
terry schemes which purport to be the original
Louisiana state Lottery.
The modus op randi is TO send a bunch of tick
cts 10 some prominent person, inclosing a COM
plimentary ticket good for 5000. The party is
instructed to sell one-ffth OF the ticket TO some
other well known prominent person, and keep
the other fifth for himself. Another condition
is that the party must remit Sl00 in payment for
tickets, at east three days before the" drawing"
In order to make the offer appear genuine, Il
circular of the Honduras National Lottery Com
pany is inclosed with the address of J. H. Lom-
bard x Co., New Oileans, La, carefully stamped
in red ink over the address OF Paul Conrad, Pu-
erto Cortez, Honduras. c. A, care Central
America Express, Port Tampa City, Fla. AS a
matter of fact, the Honduras National Lottery
Company has no such agency in New Orleans
| and Lombard & Co. never had any connec ion
with this company. The New England States
are flooded with the bogus circulars, and num-
Der have already been swindled.-By stOn Mass }

In London, in Leadenhall street, there is
a church bearing the strange name of St.
Andrew Undershaft-a name that would
not be Ineligible to any one without a
knowledge of the history of the locality.
1t seems that some 400 years ago every
Nav day a high shaft or pole was set up OPP
posite the south door of st. Andrews and
adorned with flowers. So tall was the pole
it was actually higher than the church stee-
ple, which was therefore literally under the
Shaft. Now, there being several churches
dedicated to ST. Andrew, this one was further
described as Undershaft to prevent it from
being mistaken for any OF the others Inc
old maypole having been denounced as an
idol by an overzealous curate in the reign
of the boy king, the inhabitants OF the dis
trict sawed it in pieces for firewood.
Thus is it that in the name of a still ex-
isting church is preserved an interesting bit
of bygone history which otherwise would
probably have passed away foreyer.-New
York journal.

The longest swim ever made without the
aid of artificial help, such as life preservers,
life suits, etc, was made by Samuel
Brock, Yarmouth (Englandl beachman,
fifty-seven years ago, the night of Oct. IA,
1885. On the afternoon of the 14th Brock
had noticed ship at sea signaling for a
pilot He in company with nine other sea-
men started for the vessel in the yawl In
crease. At 4 o'clock they came up along
side the ship, which proved to be the Span
ish brig Paquette de Bilboa. A pilot and
three beachmen were put on board and the
Increase then headed for shore, which was
twelve miles distant. At $3.50 o'clock,
when the nearest land was still six miles
off, squall sunk the Increase and drowned
all on board except Brock. From the way
that flood tide was beating off shore it soon
became evident to the man in the water
that if he ever did manage to reach the
land alive he would have to swim about
fifteen miles in a roundabout way.
A swell sea drove him out over Cross
Sand ridge before the o'clock bell tolled
at st. Nicholas gate, and it was long
21S hours later before the nearly exhausted
swimmer caught sight of the bell and
| light buoys themselves. 1t was now
nearly midnight, and Brock had been in the
chilly water about five hours. Within the
next hour he sighted vessel at anchor
and by an almost superhuman effort man
aged to get within about 200 yards, when
he hailed the lookout. A boat was imme.
diately lowered and the half drowned man
taken on board. The vessel proved to be
the Betsy, of Sunderland and her place OF
anchorage about l6S4 miles from where the
|
that Brock had made the remarkable dis
tance of nearly seventeen miles in ~ hours

Sand and dust whirls occur in arid re
gions in hot weather. They may be any.
where from rod to several rods in diam
eter and from twenty to thousand feet
high. They are sometimes compound-a
score or more small whirls forming a whirl
ing circle around n common center. They
are very common in India They some
times carry up so much sand in the Sahara
and Arabia that those on whom the sand
falls are overwhelmed. They occur also In
the arid regions of the United States.
In the Magdalena valley, across the
mountains westward from Socorro, in New
Mexico, during n hot day in summer they
form at the head Of n valley in long
slender, vertical column, perhaps 600 feet
high, and then travel down the valley
toward the village of Magdalena, over
which they burst sometimes, bringing lit
tie puffs of contrary winds and a shower
of fine dust. In some places group OF
stationary whirls Of the same general char
acter as the preceding are tied down to one
point. Such are the whirls which form
sometimes over volcanoes Exchange.

YOU ASH.

You ask me where, when royal June reposes
From parcEing hours and browning midday
heat,
She boards her host of red and white robed
roses,
And saves the scent that fingers round her
feet
My loves the heiress, and my loves kissed
cheeks.
Through bitter blasts and Sullen winter
weeks.
You ask if all the sanity snow has drifted
Around those elms that guard the old park
drives;
Or all the flakes their feathery crests have
lifted,
To fringe our own dear bench beyond the
hives.
Nay, for the snow has kept its whitest part,
10 drift upon the highlands of your heart.

And nearly spoiled my plan

Not on the Card, However.

During the last season young lady in
terested herself in the young children of
the cottagers at favorite seaside resort
not many miles from Boston, and on Sun
day afternoons for an hour she entertained
them at her own cottage by listening to
their recital of a verse from Scripture
learned during the previous week at home.
At parting each child received a choice
little card, which made it happy for the
entire week, and endeared the young lady
to the hearts of the parents as WELL
One little fellow, after reciting the verse
given him, said he had another, and gave
the following:
Your right foot is lazy,
Your left foot Is crazy;
But don't be onaisy-
I'll learn you to dance.
"Why, Freddy, where did you learn
thatS"
"Oh, my Uncle Frank taught it to me. u

The Coloring Qualities Of Pepper.

Canaries, when fed with cayenne pepper,
gradually change their color, passing from
yellow to red. Cayenne pepper contains a
tinctorial substance, an irritative principle
and an oil. When the last two substances
are extracted by stepping in alcohol pep
per loses its coloring properties, but an nd.
dition Of olive oil restores them. From
this fact the conclusion is drawn that the
oily principle of pepper is the necessary
vehicle of color. Experiments made with
white hens gave similar results. These
hens have also the quality Of being able to
indicate changes Of temperature by a
marked change of plumage. The yolk Of
their eggs is bright red.-Nature.
