Something About the Men Who win Some
Of EnElanti's Battles. 81 ss3
The Gurkhas, to whose yalor we owe
SO much on the Indian frontier, are not
afraid Of death il any shape or form,
have the instinct Of instant and unques-
tioning obedience to orders from supe-
riors and takes an actual and physical
delight in fighting. Il is a popular error
to suppose that they are without caste.
There are about .1S 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 Brit
ish soldiers flask and will share a
"chapati" with the most mental camp
follower. They will glad II take cigar
or tobacco from 4 European. hut on no
account must q 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 a distinctly new type, combining
the leading characteristics of both races,
would have been evolved, but as a mat
ter Of fact the vast majority of .Gurkhas
are either Aryan or Chinese in their
cast of countenance. Europeans general
~ 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 it's 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 luxuriant growth, to
q casual observer Gurkha regiment
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 distinguished regi-
ment used to tell story Of Pathan
who had travelled long distance to get
a glimpse of the terrible soldiers that
had defeated his countrymen. When he
saw the little boyish looking Gurkhas
standing guard at the Bala. Hissar, he
committed suicide for very shame"
at least this is the best part of the
story-so the guard declared when asked
to explain the presence of the dead
body.-London News. l.. VIZ . 49,

HIDDEN GOLD in PARIS,
Many Fanatics Spend Their Lives Hunting
For Buried Treasure.

Many Fanatics Spend Their Lives Hunting
For Buried Treasure. ~
Some Parisians are actually kept from
wandering by conviction that there is
hidden treasure behind the walls or be-
meath the flooring or in the chimney
nook or under the roof, says Cham ers'
Journal. <.a=
You are told that during the number
less sieges to which Paris has been sub
jected and the internal revolutions it
has undergone there exists not a cellar
or garrett but has become the recepta-
Gle OF some part Of the immense, riches
accumulated in religious houses and old
families There is, perhaps, nothing ir-
rational in the superstition that in the
good old times when converts were
made the repositories not only Of the
secrets of the aristocracy but Of the
family jewels likewise, instances must
have occurred wherein these deposits
were buried and remain undiscovered,
together with the treasures of the con.
fraternity. But human folly has Of late
years exalted this rational possibility
into dazzling certainty. Every means is
now resorted to and more gold and pre-.
cious time expended than the most val
liable treasure could repay in order to
seize the secret which still resists dis
covery. '..While you Of the matter Of
fact, plodding Anglo-saxon race are
toiling and broiling in Australia and
California, searching for gold, we gold
seekers OF Paris find it here beneath our
feet in the old quarters of the city round
Notre Dame and the Hotel de Vile,
where gold is teeming in greater plenty
than amid the rock powders Of Califor-.
MIA or beneath the soil Of Ballarat,"'

Read and Prayed.

A writer in the Rochester Post-Ex
press tells a good story about an English
bookseller of whom a lady inquired for
one Of Browning's works, and the good
man answered that he had given up
keeping Browning, and what was more
he had tried to read him and could
make nothing out Of any Of his poems.
Indeed, - the lady answered, and then,
being in search of another poet, she
added, ''But have you Praed?'' Eyes,

Don Il discuss your private business

Brook Ignite to the N ew5 Yorker who ap-
preached him in a cafe near the city

out 9 real estate dealer, said:

this very cafe cost that man 81, 900, and
the money went into my pocket too.
\ You see, he represented q syndicate that
wanted to build on some property in
which I was interested as the owner Of

not know me from Canarsie clammer.

an afternoon in last July They took

layout for luncheon and was evid emily

his friend:
Well, I pulled off the. trick for
that property at 2l9 Cheap street today.

tablished habit Of talking much about
things Of which he knew little is the
cause for the story. He had habit,
particularly at dinner tables, of holding
the guests agape with minute stories
about the inhabitants Of Mars or the
fishes of Kamchatka. All of this awaited

when he came Unexpectedly across some
