BRlToN8 IN INDIA.
A Visitor Tells How John Bull Holds His
Own There.

OWn AneEba
Mr.. Spenser Wilkinson gives the follow
ing account Of his feelings in going
through the streets Of Peshawur, and how
he discovered the spell by which we hold
India:
"The town gate of Peshawur is a mil9
from the oantonment, and the morning
after my arrival I drove in with no com
panion but a native interpreter. Peshawur,
with its mud and wood houses, its lat
tice windows and its multitude of men, Is
infinitely picturesque. But the impression
of the first visit upon an Englishman is
not due to the quaint appearance Of the
houses nor to the eastern dress Of the in
habitants.
"There are about so, 900 natives in the
city. As soon as you are through the gate
and inside the walls you are among them.
Not another Englishman is to be seen, and
possibly enough you are, at the moment,
tho only one in town. Every looks
at you. There is no staring or no rude
ness, but you feel the eyes.
"The looks of the first half dozen men
you pass, as they sit in their shops or stand
in the streets, give you a new and strange
sensation. You straighten yourself and
hold your head up with aresolve, of which
you are hardly conscious till afterward,
that if a knife is plunged into your back
you will not finch. The eyes about you
suggest that if there were no %oantonment,
no others to ask for an account of you,
your throat would be cut and your corpse
thrown away, and that the people in the
street would look on without moving.
"You Immediately feel that there is a
responsibility in being an Englishman.
You are a representative of your race, and
all that you do or say must be worthy of
the position. The first duty is not to mind
the so, 1000 people in Peshawur nor any
thing they may do. Those first five min
utes in the Peshawur bazaar reveal to you
tho secret of British power in the east. 1t
is impossible without utter fearlessness. "

Everybody Honest win Newsbovs.

However dishonest some people may be
with others, thore seems to be an unwrit-
ten code Of morality in their make up that
prompts them to be square with newsboys.
Since the establishment Of stands on the
principal corners, from which the newsboy
sells his stock, he may, with safety, take
a walk, look at a procession or go to his
luncheon, He leaves his papers and a
handful Of pennies on the stand, and when
anybody wants a paper he takes it and
leaves his penny or makes change for him
self and passes on. Inquiry Of a number
of proprietors of stands elected the infor.
nation that not one of them had ever lost
a paper or missed a penny by change OF
otherwise since the system was established.
There may be several reasons for this, but
one Of thom is that the nowsboy, whatever
may be his other faults, is always honest
with the public, and invariably acoommo-

"The gorgeous new hotels Of New York
are not as homelike and comfortable as
the old ones, " said a frequent visitor to
town. "The new palaces are so heaped
and Uttered about with costly bric-a-brac,
paintings and statues that the proprietors
have to keep servants hanging around all
the tine to see that the pretty things are
not damaged or stolen. One consequence
is that no one feels at ease in them, and
there is no such thing as privacy except
you lock yourself in your bedroom. To
hold a private consultation with a friend
in ono of the parlors is impossible, unless
you do it in whispers, because there is al
ways a maid or a detective lettering near
you. And if you whisper you become a
suspicious character at once" A wealthy
westerner who dresses very carelessly made
q scene in of these luxurious lOunging
rooms the other day. Whenever he went
into the parlOrs he was watched and fol-
lowed. Either a maid or a man took turns
in keeping eyes on him. At last he went
up to the detective and ordered him out Of
the room. ~ live here, - said he, land 1
don't propose to be Swallowed another five
minutes" The man went out to inquire
whether the indignant person was a guest.
But before he went to the Office he sent a
maid into the parlor to sec that the angry
man did not steal a statue or an onyx ia,

this morning was advised by Mr.. Kaercher,
that if they were granted licenses and lifted
them, they must assume the risk of being
evicted when their leases expire. No more
rent will be accepted from them, he said, be-
cause of this determination. The leases of
many of the applicants expire during the
year, so that their positions are rather deli
cate ones, The court, after the hearing,
granted licenses to all the applicants with the
exception Of three, Joseph Reese, Anthony
Munley and Anthony Monaghan, holding
these under advisement. The court stated
that the question of eiectment must be de-
termined in another court.

The Colorado Desert.

The most famous of waste places in
America, the Colorado Desert, is popu-
larly regarded as an empire of hopeless
sterility, the silence of which will never
be broken by the voices of men. But
the great desert is the life work of ths
Colorado river. The scientific men Of
the University of Arizona have anal,
yzed these waters, and found that the
actual commercial value of the fertiliz.
ing matter which would be deposited
upon each acre by irrigation amounts
in the course of year, to $9.07. What.
then, is the potential value of the land
which this river has created in centu.
ries? The products of the region in.
clude oranges and the dates of com.
merce. The place is more like Syri,
than any other part of the United
States, and the daring imaginations
may readily conceive that here a new
Damascus will arise, more beautiful
than that of old.
With the occupation of the Colorado
Desert, and of the great peninsula
which adjoins it, powerful impulse
will be given to agriculture, mining and
commerce in vast region now littla
peopled. One of the inevitable conse,
quences will be the rise of San Diego
to the proportions of large city-prob,

Retired from Practice.

The Saunterere's friend, the Doctor,
has retired from practice. A few years
ago he inherited large fortune, and
since then his time has been so occupied
managing his estates that it is impos-
sible for him to continue his profess
sional work. Not only has he taken in
his shingle, but he also discourages the
practice of calling him doctor; so that
in his neighborhood the title has been
generally dropped.
However, every few days the Irish
maid of all work, when she answers the
doorbell, has to explain that though the
proprietor of the Establishment is
duly graduated physician, he is not at
present practicing his profession, and
does not wish to respond to calls for his
medical skill
1t happened that one day there ap-
peared at the door caller of a very
different kind. He was the agent of
some religious society, anxious rather
to bleed others than to be bled himself.
So, naturally, he was eager to post him
self as to the church relations of his
proposed subject in order to make the
appeal more effectual.
His first question began in the usual
way: '1s-er-Mr. Hammersleigh at
home?"
Sure an he is, sorr.'
"Can you tell me whether or not he is
a Christian"
To Bridget this was something of a
poser, but she rose supremely to the oc-
cation with her accustomed answer:
''Sure, an he is, yer honor. But he's
not practicin' it lately.'-Boston Bud.
