medicinal springs that contained a sim
gle occupant, a venerable man, with
white beard and hair to the knees, who
warned away his disturbers through
gestures and threats that could not be
misunderstood. Theodore Forman, who
unearthed the cave, was engaged in
blasting an opening in the side of the
mountain when one shot tore a hole
through which he o)uld see the strange
creature.
The only explanation Of his presence
is that he is a descendant of the cliff

The cave is also reported to be filled
with all sorts of queer relics that could
be seen by the light of Egyptian lamps.

Wealth.

Wealth is blessing when properly
used, and the mere fact of any man pos
sessing it can by no possibility be held
against him unless he came by it
through dishonest or fraudulent means.

be had they not been endowed and as
sisted by people of means. There are
many people in this country today who
owe their education and training large
ly to the benevolence of those who gave
of their substance to keep up the schools
and colleges.
The American people are gifted with
fair average of good sense, and while

Eating In India.

Colonel Pollock, who has had half
century experience in India, asserts thaS
now it is almost impossible to procure
there a good curry. The sorts CONNER
clally prepared and sold all over the
world give no idea of the genuine arti-
Gle. To procure it in perfection is now
only possible in Madras, where 1T is
considered worthless unless it be abso-
iutely fresh-that is, made from newly
plucked cocoanuts. The deterioration OF
curry is in proportion to the lack of this
essential quality. E0w far commercial
preparations of the powder are inferior
may be easily imagined, as they may
remain for years on the shelves of deal
ers before use. Colonel Pollock speaks
highly of the merits of East Indian
cooks. In the training, however, they
have acquired in the European cuisine
they have lost the art of concocting their
own native dishes. He makes one excep-
ton, and that relates to what he calls
Bengal steak, made of old cocks or
ducks, which he declares is better than
the juiciest rump steak obtainable in
England.
In contrast to Colonel Pollock's pic
ture Of the epicurean delights of India
we have one of a correspondent who is
now in that country and is recording
his impressions. He says that for food
the traveller is in bad way. Vegeta-
bles are sapless, and it is now consider
ed unsafe to eat them on account of the
presence of the bubonic plague. Meat
and fruit predispose cholera. Fish is
forbidden by taste and prudence. Milk
and butter are more than suspicious,
and soda and ordinary water are filed
with dangerous germs. Soda water is
made from local stagnant pools. The
only safe thing is whisky. New York

Mr.. Gladstone, having been sounded
as to whether he would be willing to
accept a peerage from the crown in
honor of the diamond celebration of her
majesty, has replied in the negative,
declaring that he prefers to remain a
commoner to the end of his life and to

his country for more than 60 years. He
was already in parliament and a minor
member of the government prior to the

that he would have no objection if the
queen were to confer an earldom upon
his grandson, the eldest boy of his own

RIVER UNDER A TOWN.
1t Is Believed That the Lost River In In
diana Has Been Located.

1t Is believed IhaC une LOST tSiVer LII In
diana Has Been Located.
For many years the invisible course
of the famous Lost river, which sudden
ly sinks from view at a point near the
town of Orleans, Ind, has melted scien-
tific inquiry. No trace of this under
ground river was ever discovered until
the recent heavy rains. It is now be-
lieved that Lost river runs directly I'M
der the town of Orleans. This belief is
based mainly upon the fact that during
the recent flood the water burst forth
from what was supposed to be small
cave i'll such volumes that the town was
flooded. The water has now ceased to
flow from the cave, but any one stand
ing near the entrance can hear the rush
ing of the torrent, apparently hundreds
of feet below.
The explanation Of the sudden APP
pearance of the water at the cave is that
owing to the great volume caused by
the rain the subterranean channel was
insufficient to carry it off, and the pres
sure became so great that it sought re-
lief through the cave. This belief is
further confirmed because some years
ago there was an attempt to bore for
gas at Orleans. After depth of 500
feet had been reached water gushed
forth with terrific force and continued
to flow for many months. cleveland

Late newspaper articles have been at

upon Homer W. Host of Tappan, O.,

mustered into the service of the Ohio
