In India all callings are hereditary;
a bakers son becomes Il baker, and
his son after him. and so on from gen
GRAFTON to generation. The census,
however, reveals some more startling
vacations than that of the maker of
bread.
The People OF Allahabad especially
are not ashamed of their professions.
Thirty-five describe themselves as
men who beg with threats of vlo-
lence;" 22G as "1atterers for GAIN
twenty-five as "hercduary robbers -
974 as Glow blackguards;" Twenty-Five
as "hOwlers at funerals" while as
many as 6,372 publicly announce that
they are poets"
In other districts one finds, besides
the ordinary professions, 1000 tom
tom players. forty-five makers of
crowns for idols, 40 ear cleaners, and
most curious of all-"hereditary
painters of horses with spots"
The census containing this interest
ing information is kept at the Sans
krit College at Benares.

The natural wells in the western
part of Alachua county are a great
curiosity. and are one of the attract
i've features of this part of Florida
They are unique in every respect. 1t
is not known that similar wells exist
in any other part Of the country. They
are of various depths and dimensions.
Some of them are dry, while others
are bOttOmlcss. reaching dc.n to sub
tcrranean streams whose sources and
outlets are unknown. Some of the
wells are not more than twelve inches
in diameter, while others are large
enough to be drivcA into by team of
horses. They drain Il large acreage of
some of the finest land in Florida
From all appearances it is evident that
they have existed from the earliest
times.
To one who Is not familiar with the
country where these wells are found
it is not safe to travel alone. In early
times it was not uncommon for people
to fall into these holes. and while the
bodies of some We're recovered after
death. the lives of others were mir
aculOusly saved.
Some years ago party while hunt
ing lost a dog. The animal was not
found for several days, and when dis
covered he was sitting on shelf rock
in natural well sixty feet below the
surface of the earth. There was no
bottom to the well, and the walls be-
ing perpendicular and of solid rock,
the animal had no means of escape
without assistance. BY the use Of
ropes the dog was relieved from his
perilous situation in starving con-
dition.
In the winter season many strangers
who go to that part of Florida find
much pleasure by visiting the region
in which are located the natural wells.

Odors Of Naples.

Naples Is an interesting and an odd
city. because it lies SO snugly at the
base of NeSuviuS. whose ever burning
lava appears red ard dull like a mighty
beacon through all the day and night.
Some one wrote "SPe Venice and die"
and followed it up by saying See
Naples and die also" but to the afore
said ordinary traveller who arrives at
Naples by steamer it occurs that the
author might as truthfully have said
Smell Naples and faint" To make a
long story short, the introduction of n
good American sanitary system would
improve the place wonderfully. When
you visit Naples you want to go to a
Neapoltan barber to enjoy one of the
ast-fading customs of the primeval
ages. If Neapolitan barber came to
the United States he might find work
chopping wood. If he followed his
own vocation he would be continually
bothered with warrants for assault
and battery. He asks his customer to
sit in an ordinary chair. and then with
the deft strokes OF n man painting
fence by contract fathers the customer
with a glutinous substance the odor
Of which does not resemble that of the
modest violet He uses no brush
put rag. He puts no towels on your
coat, but lets the lather drip down to
your shoes. You cannot lean back in
the ordinary way, but must sit upright
while the razor is being applied. The
effect is gastly. The chin strokes are
accomplished in the same manner that
wharf laborer scrapes barnacles
from underneath a dock. They never
use bay rum or water. and turn you
out into the highways an object of
pity. Any one who goes to Naples can
get such n shave in the best hotels or
in the worst quarters.

This instrument is above all appli-
cable to myopia. which is the most
general of all affections of the eye.
In this disease the eye is deformed in
such Il manner that the rays coming
from objects after having passed
through the cOrnca and the crystalline
lens form their image too far in front
of the retina and do not influence the
optic nerve sufficiently to produce a
clear impression.
The massaging instrument causes
the hardening of the eye to disappear
and gradually restores it to its normal
form. The pressure exercised by the
apparatus brings the crystalline nearer
to the retina, and thus lessons the
effect of refraction.

THE IMPURE METAL.
SOME VERY CURIOUS SUPERsTITIONt
ABOUT IRON.

Iron Tools Forbidden in the Construc-
tion of the Temple at Jerusalem.
In Egypt iron was nominally occurs
ed, even when people used it all day
long and every day. 1t was ''the inn
pure metar'-"the bones of Typhon,"
father of evil. No man could touch it
without sin; he must do penance and
make atonement That was the theory
as long as the Egyptian race endured;
in practice iron had been handled free
ly for several thousand years. The
only piece of metal found in the great
pyramid was an iron bar. The same
conflict of ancient faith with growing
convenienceS was urged everywhere,
no doubt, but the record does not OK
list: 1t was lost before the classic time,
and so Greek and Roman sagps puzzled
over odd little customs handed down
from days of old. Cicero asked in vain
why a tool of iron must not be brought
into the sacred grove of the Arvals-or
if brought by accident. must be eX-
plated by the sacrifice of pig or a
lamb: and Plutnrch wondered why
the Archion of Plataea might not touch
iron except ut the yearly festival com

There was no end to such instances.
