Hindu Occupations.

The Hindus are curiously frank in
specifying their occupations for the
census reports. Among the accounts
many of them give of their trades
they designate themselves as debtors,
living on loans, men of secret resources
or plainly thieves, village thieves or
robbers. Others more modestly call
themselves guests, visitors, story-tellers
from house to house, dependents on
relatives, supported by their son-in-
law, or idlers; and one is without work
because he is silly. Among the more
serious occupations are declarer of
oracles, cleaner of eyes, sorcerer, fore
teller of storms and hail, player of the
tomtom, or player, barber, doctor ac-
cording to the Greek method, servant
of candidate, marriage broker of
young domestics, marriage broker of
his own daughters for money, etc.

GAME OF THE DEVIL.
1t Halls Originally from China and Used
to he Played in Europe.

It Halls Originally from China and Used
to BE Played in Europe.
What is called the Game of the
Devil" dates back to China, where it is
called Kouen-gen, to very remote an
tiquity, and has been played in France
at different epochs of modern times,
especially at the beginning of the
present century.
The ''devil'' is thrown into the air by
means of a string which the player
keeps taut by the skillfu1 use of two
sticks, and upon which he is to catch
it. 81 remember having often seen
this game in the hands of one of my
friends,'' says contributor to French
periodical. According to him, the
game was in great favor in Belgium in
his boyhood, about fifteen years ago,
especially at colleges, where the young
men often got up genuine matches be-
tween two and even three players.
''The DEVILS form varies a little from
that of the 'Kouen-gen.' 1t is made of
two tin cones connected by their apices,
and provided with apertures for the
production of humming sound when
the devil revolves very fast. A good
strong player can easily throw it to a
height of more than forty feet.',
Something less than a quarter of a
century ago this game was much
played at Paris. The devil was made
of two hollow lockwood balls.

CONS oFesEiTFGEsusE.s.

The Gold Dollar Had No Utility, While
the Three-Cent Piece Served Purpose.
To one who has not given the SUBJ
ject thought 1t would seem that the
most useless coins ever issued by the
United States were the silver three
cent pieces. They were small, as thin
as a sheet of MANILA paper and before
they finally disappeared from circula-
ton they came to be regarded as
nuisances.
Although there is much to be said
against the annoying little coins, says
the New York Herald, they were, as a
matter of fact, of far greater utility,
as far as circulation IS concerned, than
another coin. This is the gold dollar,
which, experts at the sub-treasury say,
has never served any useful purpose.
Said Maurice Muhleman, cashier of
the sub-treasury, recently:
''F'rom the. mutilated condition of
the gold dollars sent here for redemp-
ton it is positively shown that the
public do not regard them as coins.
Their only use appears to be for ban
giles, necklaces, watch charms, scarf
pins and the like. 1t is doubtful if one
in a thousand ever really passed in
circulation
'sWith the three-cent silver piece, it
was different. When first coined, the
country had nothing in the shape of a
coin between the huge copper cents
and half cents and the silver half
dime. The small coin was hailed as a
blessing, and became popular at once.
There was an excellent reason for its
issue also.
Strange as it may seem, it was not
provided for by a coinage act, but by
an act revising the postal rates. This
law lowered the cost for transmitting
the unit of weight for letters from five
to three cents. 1t was deemed advisable
by congress thereupon to issue a coin
of corresponding denomination. The
coin was of great utility, and circulated
freely until the advent of the nickel -

STORIES oF NAPOLEON.
With All His Opportunities He Left the
Throne a Pauper.

With All His Opportunities He Left the
Throne Pauper.
No man in the history of the world
ever had such vast and varied opportu-
mites for piling up personal fortune
as those which fell to the lot of Napo-
leon Bonaparte. Yet, on the first alb
dication, when the allies robbed him of
his wife and child and sent him to Elba,
he left the throne of the most powerful
nation in Europe almost a pauper, says
the New York Recorder.
The imperial treasures had been
kept at Orleans. After the abdi-
cation the provisional government,
under the influence of Talleyrand,
the most notorious self-seeker in
France, was more concerned about
these treasures than about the future of
the nation. A decree of practical con-
fiscation was drawn up and force of
men under NJ. Dudon was sent from
Paris to Orleans to seize on everything
that could be found.
Napoleon's personal treasury had at
one time contained about ia, 600, 600
francs. OF this amount more than
100000 900 francs had been used to
equip the army of Franco for its final
struggle with monarchial Europe. The
remnant was seized as per programme
by Talleyrand's minions. They took
10000, 900 francs in gold and silver coin,
5000, 900 francs in gold and silver plate,
perhaps 100000 francs worth of snuff
boxes and rings, a good part of Napo-
Icons wardrobe, and even his embroid-
cred pocket handkerchiefs There
wasn't anything modest about NJ. Tai
leyrand. The Russian officers refused
to interfere with this pillage, although
appealed to.
The loss of this money only, occa-
stoned moment of irritation to Napo-
leon. The loss of his wife and child
made him like a Gagged lion at Elba,
and, in his opinion, fully justified his
dramatic return to France.

ON A CHERRY STONE.
A Talented Convict Carves His Petition
for Pardon.

for Pardon.
Gesa Berger, the actor and news
paper man, has picture in caligraphy
that has a remarkable history. 1t is in
size thirty by forty-two inches, and is
the work of Joseph Loew, the most
noted counterfeiter that the Austrian
government ever knew.
When an application is made for
pardon in Austria the red tape policy
of that country compels the applicant
to address the emperor with all his
titles. Emperor Ferdinand had about
forty titles. Loew engraved all of
these names, together with his petition
for pardon. on a cherry stone.
The letters were so fine that it re-
quired the aid of a powerful micro
scope to decipher them. One day
when the emperor visited the prison
Loew in person presented a cherry
stone to the emperor and told him
what it contained. The emperor made
an examination and was so amazed at
the work that he gave him an uncon
ditional pardon. Not only did he par
don him, but gave him position as
detective to trail down counterfeiters.
Loew was a well-informed man in all
the arts and rascalities of counterfeit
ers, and in less than two years after
his pardon he ran to earth almost every
counterfeiter in Austria, and died a
few years ago covered with detective
honors. The picture. although made
fifty years ago, is in remarkable state
of preservation.

NEVER SMILED.
The Terrible Secret in the Life of an Err
ring Physician.

The Terrible Secret IN the Life of Err
ring Physician.
ga few years ago. said Charles J.
Patterson, of Philadelphia, to a st.
Louis Republic reporter, Il learned
the secret of the life of man who had
passed more than a quarter of cen
tury with scarcely a smile. Ho had
been physician and surgeon, and on
one occasion had to remove an injured
eye in order to save the other eye and
prevent total blindness. The night
before the operation he had been drink
ing heavily with some friends, and, al
though the following morning he was
sober, his hand was unsteady and his
nerves unstrung. After administering
chloroform he made n fatal and horri-
lie blunder. removing the well eye by
mistake and thus consigning his pa
ticnt to perpetual blindness. The mo-
mont he discovered his error he turned
the man over to competent surgeon,
decided everything he possessed to him
and hurried from the neighbOrhood
like a convicted thief. The remainder
OF his life was one constant round of
remorse and he rapidly developed into
confirmed misantl1rope. The secret
of his life was known to a number of
people, butwhen it was finally revealed
to me it explained a mystery and made
me respect the man, for however grave
his original blunder, which in some re-
spects was, of course, worse than a
crime, his repentance was of the most
genuine character"

there is nothing as good as children
troubled with colds or Group as
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He has
used it in his family for several years
with the best results and always kept a

without benefit and then concluded to
try the children's medicine and to his
