THE Sacred GAUGES.

Philadelphians complain of foul
water, Schuylkill river water, but
from all accounts, the Schuylkill
river is clean when compared with
the river Gauges in India, which
is considered a sacred river fit to
cleanse one physically and spirit
ually. Bishop FOss saw tens OF
thousands bath in the "HOly
Gauges which he calls "the
filthiest stream / ever saw. The
Missouri, after IA freshet, cannot
match it. The dead bodies OF
animals float down, lodge on the
bars are torn to pieces by the rul-
lures. The calcined bones of hui
man beings, burned in the CHATS,
float down the stream on little
bamboo RATS, and there is such a
burning CHAT in full operation on
the shore in the midst of the bath
ing places. And then there is the
sewage of the great towns and
cities, and of the whole country,
which is full of domestic animals
and wild beasts and human beings.
And that is the Gauges; yet they
think it perfect sacred and clean.
They bring their bowls of brass,
consecrated by the priests, and
dip up the water and drink it for
internal ablutiOn. They carry
home water to their friends-a
mint or so of this holy water-as a
sacred treasure"

The New York Independent of the
9th of March says. James Tyson,
who died in Australia last December.
I+fs a fortune of about $25, ,OOO, 900
He owned 100000 acres of land and
also held thousands of square miles
ON lease. He hal never married. .
ard there are scores of persons in
this country who have been led to
bxlieve that they are entitled t, bis
estate. Eight of these reside in
New jersey; there are other claim
ants in Boston and in Denver. All
of them assume that the Australian
milIionaire was one of their relatives
who left Eogland in his youth, but
the long accounts of Tyson's inter
esting career which have been pab
lished in London say that he was
born 10 Australia.

THE BREAKFAST FACE.

McClure's Times. s.--HOw many
of us-I mean we wOmen-get up
cross, and by cross the inference is
naturally that we are not good
looking, for how can we be cross
and pretty at the same time! We
come down to the table very
different individual from the one
who rose from ii the evening be-
fore, and behind coffee urn we
sulk and give our particular men
folks the impression that feminine
beauty is an impossible and imprO-
bable quantity in the early morn
ing.
This is really matter of habit,
as, after all, living is any way you
wishjO put it, so I say advisedly,
no matter how you may frown at
4, for goodness sake beam at s.
The early morning impressions
that man takes away with him
are the ones that last all day. The
wife who takes pains to curl her
hair, to put dab of powder on
her nose, to slip into her most be-
coming negligee at breakfast time,
can loaf all day if she so desires,
and can afford it, and there will
never be word of protest from
the man who, in the shop, in the
store, on the railroad, on the farm,
on the street, in the stock exchange
or Office has time for a thought for
the gentle creature who kissed him
goodbye at the door. The thought
may not be so pleasant, but it will
be tremendously persistent if the
creature who yawned good bye was
in sOiled frOck, with disheveled
locks and "gOt-up-tOO- early" ex-
preston of cOuntenance, and that
is revelation to a man not used
to seeing woman in the days be-
ginning. If you can't look pleas
ant and genuinely awake at break
fast don't get up to it. Better to
let your husband think you sloth
full than sulkly. The breakfast
face should be sunshiny. Remem-
Der this, all We grumblers. The
coffee may be bad, the cakes sod
den and the meat fried-awful
wOrd-tO crisp, but such a havoc
in the menu will be lost sight of if
the mistress of the mansion has a
sweet smile and winning person
ality to overcome the material dis
comforts due to bad cook or a
faulty digestion.

Miss Jessie Brownslee, sister of
Mis-. Laudens!aeer. The baby was
burned to a crisp. Laudepslager, in
extinguisbiDg the flames that enve-
loped his wife and Miss Brownslee.

Thursday of last week, Butcher
VIM. H. Harter, of Hartleton, while

shoulder. A large hump was no

one OF Joe Pursley's young turkeys.
The snake measured five feet eight
inches in length. -Mi6inbury Times.
