And cleared my eyes to sight of others pain.

THE FIGHTING GURKHAS.
Bomething About the Men Who Win Some
of England's Battles.

Bomething About the Men Who Win Some
of England's Battles.
The Gurkhas, to whose valor we owe
30 much on the Indian frontier, are not
afraid of death in any shape or form,
have the instinct of instant and unques-
tioning obedience to orders from supe-
riors and take an actual and physical
delight in fighting. 1t is popular error
to suppose that they are without caste.
There are about IS different castles
among them and several subdivisions in
each caste, but when serving in British
regiments and while on campaign
Gurkhas do not allow their caste sys-
tenn to interfere with their comforts and
will eat and drink freely with Euro
peans and among themselves. They have
no objection to taking pull at a Brit
ish soldiers flask and will share a
"chapati' with the most mental camp
follower. They will gladly take cigar
or tobacco from European, but on no
account must man Of one caste smoke
in the company of another.
All Gurkhas trace their descent from
the Rajputs of central India, the Thap-
pas and Gurungs especially claiming to
have the bluest Hindoo blood in India
running in their veins. They have,
however, intermarried for generations
with Monaghan women. One would
imagine therefore that in process of
time distinctly new type, combining
tho Ioodipo ohara otori tioc of both ra COO
would have been evolved, but as mat
ter of fact the vast majority of Gurkhas
are either Aryan or Chinese in their
cast of countenance. Europeans general
ly suppose that all Gurkhas are squat
men, with broad nostrils, high cheek
bones and deep set, narrow eyes. This
is not the case. The Second Gurkhas
regiment has large numbers of Gurungs
and Thappas in its ranks who are of a
slight build, with beautifully chiseled
and sharp features, Aryans every inch.
Gurkhas have one physical peculiar
ity-their stature is below the aver
age. As they do not wear boards and
their mustaches, in spite of much care,
never attain a luxuriant growth, to

appears to consist Of boys, not men. It
is on record that when Lord Roberts
was marching through the Kurram the
Pathan women and children came out
to jeer at the striplings whom he was
leading, as it seemed, to their certain
death, and they only changed their
opinion when, largely owing to the
heroism of these same Gurkhas, the At
CHAN army was driven headlong from
the Peiwar Kotal
The colonel of a distinguished regi-
ment used to tell a story of Pathan
who had travelled long distance to get
glimpse of the terrible soldiers that
had defeated his oountrymen. When he
saw the little boyish looking Gurkhas
standing guard at the Bala Hissar, he
committed suicide "for very shame, ,"
at least-and this is the best part of the
story-so the guard declared when asked
to explain the presence of the dead
/ body.-London News.

TWO LOVES.

The woman he loved while he dreamed Of her
Danced on till the stars grew dim,
But alone with her heart, from the world apart
Sat the woman who loved him.
The woman he worshiped only smiled
When he poured out his passionate love,
While the other somewhere kissed her treasure
most rare,
A book he had touched with his glove.
The woman he loved betrayed his trust,
And he wore the scars through life,
And he cared not nor knew that the other was
true.
But no man called her wife.
The woman he loved trod tested halls
While they sang his funeral hymn,
But the sad bells tolled ere the year was old
Ger the woman who loved him.
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox.

LIVING IN CITIES.
The Apartment House Is Breaking Up
American Homes.

The Apartment House Is Breaking Up
American Homes.
/ have no mind to harrow up the
minds of my readers with any explica-
tion of the miseries and mysteries that
confront the average housekeeper in the
daily maintenance Of simple but COM
Portable existence for her family. AS for
herself, an existence at all seems
struggle which at times she would glad
ly give over. One might define hero
inc as the average American woman
who does her own housekeeping. But
some hint of the unnatural and unhappy
state of affairs existing at present may
be deduced from the consideration of
two economic facts.
First, woman is by nature a home
founder and homemaker This is not
intended as an assertion of personal be-
lief, but as statement of scientific fact.
1t was woman-not man-who opened
the industrial world. 1t was woman
who made the first rude dwellings and
dressed skins and wove textiles for
clothing. 1t was woman and not man
who made the first fire and the first
utensils for cooking and the first rude
tools for industrial ends All her activi-
ties clustered about the hearth and min
istered to the home If the woman and
the work had not reacted upon each 9th
er SO that today women should be by
nature homemakers and home lovers,
there are still depths for the scientists
to sound in the working of heredity and
of natural selection.
And yet-here is my second fact-the
enormous piles of stone and brick rapid
ly filling the choice plots of ground in
our large cities and shutting out the
light of heaven with their gabled tops
are mute if not magnificent witnesses to
the fact that the investment of capital
is all against the perpetuation of the
separate home. The shrewd modern in
weston is willing to put hundreds of
thousands against hundreds of dollars
that (for his lifetime at least) women
are going to prefer the ease of the apart
ment hotel to the separate house with
its privacy, its own table, and-alas-
its own service - Helen Watterson

A popularity about blind people is
that there is seldom one of them who
smokes. Soldiers and sailors accustomed
to smoking and who have lost their sight
in action continue to smoke for short
time, but soon give up the habit. They
say it gives them no pleasure when they
cannot see the smoke, and some have
said that they cannot taste the smoke
unless they see it.-New York Ledger

At a general election in Victoria a
candidate who was making speech ex-

Of the hall answered, "Oirleand.

FALL, SNOW.

Fall, snow, and cease not. Flake by fake
The decent winding sheet compose.
Thy task is just and pious. Make
An end of blasphemies and woes.
Fall, snow, in stiffness fall, like dew
On church's roof and cedag's fan,
And mold thyself on pine and yew
And on the awful face of man.
On qrsal1ing moor and mountain moss,
With eyes upstaring at the sky,
And arms extended like a cross,
The long expectant sufferers lie.
Bend DER them, white robed acolyte,
Put forth thine hand from cloud and mist
And minister the last sad rite,
Where altar there is none nor priest.

The civil war that ragged in our land
a third of century ago operated in
Numerically opposite manner on the
two sections of the United States known
as the southwestern and the northwest
ern states. In the former, composed
chiefly of the state of Texas, all access
to outside markets was cut of to live
stock. The Union forces patrolled with
gunboats the Mississippi river, and no
herds could be taken across to feed the
main rebel armies. Cattle could not be
shipped to Cuba for fear Of almost GER
tain capture by war vessels on the gulf
passages, and they could not be safely
driven north or west.
So Texas 5000, 900 cattle multiplied
like vermin in an army camp upon the
ranges Of Texas, where they ceased to
have cash value and became only an
article of barter, rs head being ex-
changed for good saddle horse and 100
ahed for two horse wagon. The stores
in the grazing regions exchanged goods
and wares for them, fixing a ridiculous
ly low scale Of prices for the live stock,
payable in goods, etc., from the store
This state of affairs continued until two
years after the war closed.
In the northwest the supply of live
stock was depleted to feed the Union
armies, and for two or three years after
the close of the war remained scarce
and dear in price, SO that the masses Of
laboring men and factory operatives
could scarce afford beef upon their ia
bles oftener than once a week, and then
it was of the cheaper cuts of the carcass.

went straight for them and began firing
before half Of them had cut their ponies
loose and mounted them. Those who
first reached their beasts slashed the
picket ropes, mounted bareback and gall
loped down the creek at their best pace.
Some of the others, however, were too
late, and we were fairly upon a half
dozen Of them when they had no more
than got to their horses.
1t was not fight, but rout, for the
Indians thought only of escape, and
nine of them succeeded in getting away.
We did not follow them, for our ponies
were worn with travel, and it seemed
better that Mrs. Rosamond should be
taken to her soalped husband as soon as
possible.
She was unframed and had been IN
bound in one of the teepees when our
firing began. Now she came hurrying
toward us. shall never forget the poor
woman s wonder when we told her that
her husband was alive.

dered and put her hands up as if to hide
the horrible memory from her eyes.
eyes, they did, said. "But he
will live and be just as well as ever"
The expression of JOY on her face was
beautiful to see.
Besides recovering Rosamond' 8 horses
we captured seven ponies, three spring
field carbines, one winchester and five
good saddles.
After few hours of rest we set out
for the ranch, which we reached about
10 o'clock the next morning. We found
Rosamond in high fever and danger
ously i'll. But, thanks to his wife's
nursing, he finally recovered, and for
two years afterward the couple cooked
for us at the ranch, which always seemed
to me most prosaic occupation for peo-
pie who had come through an adventure
SO extraordinary as theirs.-Yout

Color Photography.

At a recent meeting of the Royal
Photographic society in London Profess
or Gabriel Lippman described his sys-
tenn of color photography, whereby a
photograph showing the colors of nature
is obtained by direct process and with
one exposure of the plate. The film,
which might be of any sensitive sub
stance, be explained, was exposed, de-
veloped and fixed in the usual way.
Two conditions, however, must be OBJ
served-the film must in the first place
be transparent and grainless and in the
secoAd it must be in contact with a me-
tallic mirror during exposure. The eff
feet of the mirror, which was formed
by running layer of mercury in be-
hind the plate, was to reflect back the
incident colored rays and thus make the
incident light waves stationary. These
stationary vibrations, falling in the in
terror of the sensitive film, impressed
their own structure upon it, and by vir-
tue of the structure thus impaired to it
the brown deposit of silver. when viewed
by reflected white light, appeared clothed
with the same colors as were possessed
by the image in the camera. The colors
were produced by interference" in the
same way as those of the soap bubble
or mother of pearl. That this was their
cause, NJ Lippman said, was proved
by the fact that the tints Of negative
changed if 1t were damped in conse-
quence of the gelatin swelling slightly
and thus altering the structure of the
silver deposit. The nolors produced by
this process were true and bright pro-
vided that exposure and development
had been properly conducted They
were, moreover, completely fixed and
resisted the action Of light and time.
He had not yet succeeded in taking
prints from his negatives, but was con-
WINGED that to do SO would be found
DOssible
