Retort Courteous.

A recent English visitor to India
relates the following incident of trav-
ell to show the character of the inter-
course between the English and the
resident population of that country.
The Parsees have been scarcely longer
in the peninsula than have the Eng
lish. They are the ancient fire wor-
shippers of the east.
"Another Englishman and were
on the night train, and we were the
sole occupants of the compartment.
It was near midnight and we were
stretched on our respective couches,
when our slumbers were disturbed
by the entrance of a family of four
or five Parsees, among whom were a
lady and a child and an old gentle
man of somewhat feeble but refined
appearance. Of course, although we
were not disturbed. there was a lit
tie conversation and discussion while
touches were being prepared and
berths let down, and so forth, till at
last my fellow countryman, losing his
little store of patience, rolled over
among his rugs with a. growl: Il
wish you would stop that, chattering,
you Parsees!' To which remark, when
they had settled themselves a little.

when it was red hot. The sun, too,
must obey this fundamental law, and
must therefore be getting smaller. II
we could measure it's diameter on two

his audience might feel anxious lest the
sun should not last their time. Such
anxiety, however, was groundless; he
was 100000 miles in diameter, so it
would take 100000 years for HIM to be
reduced by 1000 miles to $4,000, and
the lecturer was sure that if thera
