A Sca pIess Country.

Tn spite of British rule, India is vir- tually a soapless country. Throughout the villages of Hindustan soap is, in deed. regarded as natural curiosity, and is rarely, if ever. kept in stock by the native shopkeeper. In the towns it is now sold to certain extent, but how small this is may be gathered from the fact that the yearly consump- tion of soap in India is about 0.000 hundred weight; that is to say. every 2.50o persons use on an average only 112 pounds Of soap among them; or, in other words. considerably less than an ounce is the average consumption of person.

DECEIVED THE RRirrsHERs.
How Woman Adventurer Was Able to
 Play High Role In London.

The history of Hon. Elizabeth Har- riet Grieve, who fiourished in England in 1773-74, illustrates a favorite meth cd by which the oid-time Britishers endeavored to secure snug places. This lady, who said that she was first cousin to Lord North. second cousin to the Duke Of Grafton. nearly related to Lady Fitzroy and 8 personal friend of Lord Guiiford and Charles James Fox, drove about Lonaen in a hand some chariot. with footmen; her char tot stopped at the doors Of great houses. she received great people at her own house, notably Charles James Fox she also condescended to receive smaller people The latter gave her large sums Of money, in return for which she promised them places. One was to be clerk In the victualing of fee. one was to be a court waiter; one was to be clerk in the admiralty one was to be q settled tidesman;" an other was to have anything that hap pened to be going. Charles Fox as sisted, unwitfingIy. at spreading the belief in the iadys powers and pro- mises, because he frequently drove to her lodgings. and left his carriage out side for all the world to see. The req son was not friendship. but interest. He. too, received promises. He was at the moment impecunious. The lady promised him 8 West Indian heiress, with $500, 006. He called daily to in- quire after his heiress with all the eagerness Of a young lover Alas! the heiress was never visible; she was even reported to be laid up with small pox. Her visits were so useful to the Hon. Elizabeth that she actually lent him s1.500, step which naturally made him believe more firmly in the West Indian. Of course. when the ex- pectapt men found that there was nothing for them they went to court and saw the magistrate. It came out, on investigation that the lady was not in any sense honorable; that she was not related to any great people : that her history was a mass of lies. and that she was nothing more than an ex-conViet recently returned from Virginia. They kept her in prison for a twelYemonth-the delay is not ex- plained-and then banished her for seven years.

HEAVY GUNS DESTROY EARS.
Why So Many ArtiIlerymen safer From
 Defective Hearing.

why 90 mAhY arttIieFYfnen sa1eE From
 Defective Hearing.
 The stunning report Of each gun as 1t IS fired is something that a stranger on the deck Of ship Of war will long reme- .ber. There is an old saying. deaf as a post Now in the English navy this is changed to deaf as a post co eain. No man can go through a lo..g series Of gunnery practices witfc.'t having his hearing seriously affect-3. Some men put cotton in their ears. but even this precaution does lit tie to deaden the terrible shock. And if the firing of one or two guns has such shatteriHg power. what would be the effect if the whole armament were in action together? It is i'm possible to conceive the strain on nerve and senses of the rending concussIon. If visitor watches the firing of one of the monster nine-ineh guns and then places b,meef beside Che of the small- CT pif @s. the report made by the one wilt not appear much louder than that of the ether. The extra distance To the muzzle of the big pieces discounts the sound. The only apparent difference betw' on the two appears to be that the small pieces have a sharper, high er-pieyaed I. 2sei and that the six and nine-inch guns speak with more of believing roar One piece of advice may be given to any one who finds himself in the neighborhood of gun in action. The noise will not have nearly the same effect if you are watching the gun as If the crash comes unexpectedly. uneonseiously nature prepares you to resist a shock which is known to be impending.
