The Charterhouse school contains a
relic of Livingstone, presented to the in
stitution by Bishop Naples. The relic is
an old tattered coat, given by Living
stone In the course Of his last journey
to one Of his native followers. This ma
tive gave, many years after. to Bishop
Naples. The bishop gave an account Of
the incident. The native African, he
writes, described Livingstone:
A short man. with bushy mustache,
and keen, piercing eye. whose words
were always gentle and whose manners
were always kind, whom as a leader 1t
was privilege to follow, and who knew
the way to the hearts of oil men. I.
Then he showed me the coat; 1t was
ragged now, he knew, but he had kept 1t
these ten years in memory of the giver,
from whom it had been legacy when
they parted at Mataka's. To no one but
an Englishman would he part with it.,
but he let me have 1t as one of Living
stones brothers Che said), and it now
lies in the museum at Charterhouse
school.

reached before, took them for ghosts.
Histories of adventure in the Australian
bush contain like instances. Sir George
Grey, long ago, described how a poor
Australian black woman took him for
the spirit of her dead son, and how she
clung to him.-London Daily News.

His Weight in Gold.

The ancient annual ceremony of
"Talabbaram," OR weighing the
Maharajah Of Travancore against an
equivalent weight Of gold, has come
round again. 1t appears to have
been conducted this year with great
pomp and ceremony, for the present
Maharajah is a Hindu of the ortho-
dox type, who aspires to keep up the
traditions of his house. Some months
before the ceremony the Government
purchased through its commercial
agent at Alleppey about two thou
sands weight of pure gold, the great
er part of which was converted into
coins for this purpose. After pre-
senting an elephant and offerings to
the shrine, the Maharajah entered
the building prepared for the occa-
sion, and having completed the pre-
liminary ceremonies, mounted one of
the scales. The sword and shield
were laid in his lap; in the other side
of the scale gold coins. struck for the
occasion, were placed by the first and
second princes, till it touched the
ground and the Maharajah rose in
the air, the priest meanwhile chant
ing Wedic hymns. Volleys were
fired, the band played, and the troops
presented arms. The Maharajah
worshiped at the shrine, and then
went to the palace. subsequently
the Dewan and other officials distrib-
uted the coins from the fort gates to
fifteen thousand Brahmins.
