Co arageous Hin6us.

IN some things the natives of Bengal
and Behar are wonderfully courageous,
and the braveSt deed that I ever wit
messed was performed in the coolest
man&aer possible by two of my own do
mestic servants. One morning, while
seated in the veranda of my bungalow,
a mad jackal rushed through the
grounds and went under a raised go
down, which was close TO the bungalow
l left the veranda for my gun, and on
my return l discovered two of my serv-
ants armed with hog spears creeping
under the godown until they came
within striking distance of the iackaI.
when they quickly transfixed him with
their spears. The offer of a blank check
on the Bank of England would not have
induced me TO act in the way that these
brave fellows did.
An old mihtar (sweeper). a man of the
lowest caste in my service, who was
nearly bent double with age, was the
smartest hand at killing a venomous
snake that l ever knew. The old fellow
used to sit up at night in the fowl house
for the purpose of destroying the cobras
that came after the eggs; and one
morning before dawn l stepped into the
veranda of my bungalow in time to see
him pulling a KARAT out of hole with
one hand, which grasped the reptiles
tail, while in the other hand was held
a stick, which promptly descended on
the karait's head as soon as it ap-
peared in view. 1t was all done very
neatly and smartly and as quietly as if
the old man had been crushing a beetle

fore, very much as if there will be a
free modern high class road into Yo-

ifornia who so generously signed the
petitions sent up for the road by the

voices, indorsed the "Record-U Mon s"

war exists in Cuba: she denies that the
Cubans are belligerents in war. Ac-
cording to Spain, nothing more than
riot is going on in Cuba; the civil pro-
cesses Of the courts are not suspenoeu'
and martial law has not been pro-
claimed. 1t may become, therefore, a
serious question, if, presented to the
American Government, whether the or
der and the arrest of one of the men
who has been cast into a military prison
do not constitute a violation OF rights
of Americans that will call for protest

ANOTHER SENSATION coLLAPsEs.

Here is another cheat played out
The Government after expending lot
of good hard money has discovered that
there is no need to send the relief ex-
pedition to the Klondike country just
when it is ready to start. and now the
Secretary Of War advertises cheap a
job lot Of reindeer for sale at once, be
fore they eat their heads off.

pressed the opinion that facts had not

that if the Government officials were
satisfied that there was danger of star
walton on the Klondixe among the peo-
pie Of that inhospitable region. relief
should be sent on. speedily and at any
cost
But the difficulty was ascertainment
of the truth. The yellow press was
constant in asserting that starvation
was imminent. 1t left nothing un-
done to fix that idea upon the public
mind and fortified it with news" that
has since developed as falsehoods. The
Government officers were nagged into
the movement and consented, it will
be remembered, with great reluctance
and unconcealed doubling. The out

easily swerved from their better judg-
ment. 1t is perfectly certain that but
for the screaming Of the same hyster-
acal press that is now conducting the
bloody war between Spain and the
United States. no relief expedition
would have been organized. The Ca
madam officers from the outset pro-
tested against it. They declared that
they knew what the conditions were.
