with a distorted sense of it's magni-

naut he is merely an abject piece of
limp, kickless humanity.
Another curious custom is that OF
"Ruksut hal' (You NAV go). In Eng
land Il Is etiquette for an afternoon
caller to himself take the initiative in
the matter OF his departure. Indeed, 1t

breeding IL the hostess gave the slight.

lieved of her callers presence. In India
the custom is reversed. and the native

source of discord. AS any schoolboy
knows. the Hindu Keeps on his turbar

cupied the viceregal chair he was COM
PEELED to issue an official mandate up

native servant would as soon think OF
appearing before you minus his cum
merbund as your English footman
would wait at table in his shirt sleeves.
The vice versa customs OF the man
In the street are legion. The native
clerk sits upon the floor to write, and
his characters run from right 10 left.
The plowman uses D. miserable little

work by reason of its shortness--said Id

plowman will only drive his team by

like his English brother. squats to his
work, but with the important distinc-
tion that he uses his toes to hold the
work, while his fingers are busted with
the sewing.
The interior OF the native houses is
equally opposed to European notions
OF comfort. They are devoid of all
furniture, unless one can dignity n few
rugs, cushions and curtains by such a
name. Even the wealthest Bankers
and merchants do without crockery.

Native rclaXations are not particu-
larly elevating. The gambling element
is provided for by the showers which
occasionally visit even this parched
land. The usual practice is to bet upon
the probability Of some particular rain

for much crime.

A WONDERFUL BRIDGE.
From the Pittsburg Post.

From the pittsburg Post.
The greatest steel structure in the
world, so far as railroad work Is con-
cerned, is just about completed in this
state. II Is the wonderful bridge of the
Erie railroad across the Kinzua valley
in Mexican county. The original bridge
was marvel and was considered one
of the wonders OF the new world. The
old abutments are used To support the
new structure.
This original structure was found to
be too weak for the modern heavy en-
gines and cars of the Erie railroad, and
last May traffic on this branch was
suspended. 1t extends from Carrolton
on the main line to Johnsonburg. a dis
tance of 53.2 miles, and passes through
Bradford. Custer City and Mt. Jewett
and connects with the narrow gauge
division OF fine +. & w. r. r. II trav-
erses a wilderness region where bears,
deer and wildcats are found, and the
rufIled grouse Is at home in the almost
impenetrable slashings and virgin for
eStS.
The new bridge is much heavier than
the old structure. In the old bridge
$500 tons of material We're used. but in
the new structure there will be $500
tons of steel. OF 100000 pounds. This
modern steel miracle Is 30l2 feet above
the Level of the small wilderness stream
and is 2,l00 feet in length and nine
feet wide. Twenty towers of steel sup
port the structure, and these vary from
% feet to 2S5 feet In height and rest
on solid piers of stone work. Looking
uI' from the bottom these magnificent
towers look like a spider web, but as
they are closely examined some idea OF
the strength of the new bridge is as
certained. Web plate girders Of three
eighths inch mild steel with Il depth
of 61k feet look like mere cords 'rorA

Wall Street Review.

New York, Feb. THE glsmor OF the ysst plo.

from authorities in the steel trade as TO the

thrown out that the whole negotiation was in

CURIOUS Castles AND CUSTOMS
Cannot Be Reformed, Although They
Prejudice India's Progress.
From the London Express.


Forty-three years ago, upon the 10th
OF the present month, the great Indian
military center of Meerut saw the
kindling OF that terrible blaze which
was destined to ravage the whole OF
British Hindustan.
Nowadays every schoolboy knows
that the Indian mutiny was directlv
the outcome OF Il religious misunder-
standing. In 1867 the British soldier
| could not understand why the smear.
ing Of little grease upon his cart
ridges should offend the Sepoy. But
the grease used was that of animals
which We're unclean alike to Hindus
and Mohammedans. Thus II came to
pass that this same misunderstanding
! resulted in the shedding of oceans of
innocent blood and the near loss of an
empire of 25O,0OO,0O0 souls.
Today. Tommy and his officers know
better than to offend native suscepti-
bilities. Nevertheless, there Is much
| in Hindustan that the average Eu-
ropean finds il hard to understand.
One of the greatest stumbling blocks
| il that of caste. There are now four
| principal Hindu castes: Brahmin, or
| priest; kashatriya, or soldier; Vaisya.
or industrial. and the much dcspised
| Sudra, servile caste. These four diyis-
IONS are subdlvlded again and again
| into many others. For instance every
| village has It's Dhobi, or washerman;
| kumbar, or potter: Mali, or green
| grocer; Sunri, or publican; Chamas, or
| cobbler; kahar, or palkie bearer. and
| u dozen other vigorously exclusive
| sects The Doasted blue blood of our
| European nobility pales into insigni-
tcance by comparison. Here in Eng
| land, for Instance. every ambitious
| boy, however humbly born, may as
| pirc 10 just such position as his tai
| ents may ilt him for In India it Is
| different Not only does the son never
| aspire to rise above the fathers sta
| tion in life, but, in addition, ne could
| not ii he chose.
Consequently the brassworkine faith
en- of dozen sons viii bring them up
as brassworkers; the potter father, as
| potters, and so ON. ad inhnitum. Nor
| must the loWcr-Caste man in any way
| violate the sanctity of his higher
class brother, for the penalties as IA
the publication OF the latter are many
and inconvenient. similarly, he must
| marry within his own caste. he may
only eat with his own caste, and, il a
Sudra, he viii esteem it an honor n he
is allowed to imbibe the water in which
his superior Brahmin mas laved his
| feet.
But what undoubtedly strikes the
Britisher with greatest force Is the
fatalistic way In which the lower class
man resigns himself without a word OF
grumbling to this treatment. He is sat

BOSTON'S BIG RESERVOIR.
When Completed It Will Be the
Largest of It's Kind in the World

Few people, even those in and about
Boston, realize the enormous extent Of
the new water works system inaugu-
rated in 1895, and now we'll on toward
completion. They know that Il law
was passed five years ago, placing the
existing system in the hands of n COM
mission called the metropolitan Water
board, and that something is being
done 10 bring water from the vicinity
of Clinton. Mass, but the true condi-
tion of affairs is practically unknown.
II will surprise even those who should
be personally interested TO learn that
within half q decade the greatest res
ervoir ever built will be in operation
within 81 miles of Boston.
1t Will be even "A greater surprise
for them to learn that, when the sys-
TEN now under construction is finished
not only Boston, but Medford, Newton
and Somerville and the towns of Bel
mont, Hyde Park, Melrose, Revere,
Watertown and Winthrop, constituting
what is known as the metropolitan
Water district, will be kept amply
supplied with water, Notwithstanding
the natural increase in population, un-
til 1850. Ii is this half-century step
into the future that will give Boston
the well-earned reputation of provid-
ing for her people according to their
honest needs and their deserts.
To prove the gigantic nature of the
reservoir, it is only necessary to state
that its capacity will reach the enor-
nous extent of 63,06S, 900 900 gallons, or
almost twice as much as the new Cro-
ton reservoir near New York city. The
building of this reservoir means the
