Preserving His Caste.


Some remarkable precautions for the
Observance of the obligations of caste
were taken by Indian princes who are
now in this country for the corona
ton of their King Emperor. For in
stance, the preparation for the voyage
of the Maharajah Sawai Madho Singh
of Jaipur, who arrived few days ago,
were unprecedented in Hindu ortho-
doxy The steamer Olympia was es-
pecially chartered for the maharajah's
party, consisting of 125 persons, and
. no other passengers were allowed on
board.
Six kitchens were fitted up on the
Olympia, one being for the prince him
self, another for his family deity,
which, with a suitably gorgeous equip
ment, was brought with the party, and
other kitchens for important person.
ages. including Brahmin followers, in
the maharajah's retinue.
Food sufficient for all for six months,
with drinking water from the Ganges,
was included in the sixty tons of bag
gage, and In the general arrangement
every care that foresight could sug-
gest was taken to prevent the necess-
ity of purchasing anything and having
work done by foreigners in an I'M
Hindu country. Thus, blacksmiths,
carpenters and washermen were taken
with the party; even the soil used for
the cleaning of various utensils was
taken on board. Furthermore, it was
promised by the owners Of the steam
err, who signed a contract containing
this express stipulation, that no beef
or veal should be allowed on the ship.
The area set aside on board the
steamer for the use of the party was
exclusive to their own use. not even

Savannah business men who were

the contrary they are firmly of the
opinion that the education furnished
in this city is about all that could
reasonably be expected.
Mr.. Mills B. Lane, president of the
Citizens Bank, expressed the views Of

The Grand Trunk Railway Company has
exhibition In connection with the second
annual Spcrtsmen's Snow to be held In Chi
cago from February 3 until February y.
The Snow is being held in the Coliseum, a
large building admirably suited for the pur-
finest that has ever taken place In America,
excelling even that held IN Philadelphia dur
ing last December. The Grand Trunk ex-
hibit will include the collection of large
photographs of scenes throughout the sum-
mer resort districts situated on its line,
including the Muskoka Lakes, Lake of Bays,
Magnetawan River, $4,000 Islands of the
Georgian Bay, Kawartha Lakes, and Lakes
Simcoe and Couchiching, as we'll as views on
the Portland division, combining land and
water scapes, scenes in the White Noun
tains, and surf bathing scenes taken on the
Maine sea coast.
The space to be occupied by the Grand
Trunk viii be about 4, 000 square feet, and
will be one of the most attractive and most
interesting exhibits at the show. The Grand
Trunk has expended thousands of dollars
in bringing before the people of the United
States and foreign countries the beauties of
the Canadian districts. In the districts en-
braced in what is known as ''the Highlands
of Ontario" nearly 30,000 tourists were car
ried during the summer months, the ma
Jority of whom were from the United States
These districts have become so popular that

creasing and modern and up-to-date struc-
lures are being erected to accommodate the
ever increasing travel that is being brought

FARMER FINDS A FRIEND.

De Roster of this place, q prosperous
farmer siXty-one years of age, has suf-
fered for years with Kidney Trouble.
He has tried many medicines, but
found nothing to relieve him until he
began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
he has found this remedy to be friend
indeed. He says:

THE RAIL FENCE.

Tt roves the farm all over,
with awkward-steppiGg feet.
Here close beside the clover
There just beyond the wheat.
Along the fallow fragraat
For woodland ways it makes,
And many a sylvan vagrant
AS boon companion takes
1t loves the woodbine tangles,
invites the milkweed pod
And all it's sunny angles
Laugh out in goldenrod.
Beneath the creviced rider
The cricket's shrills close hid.
And from the stake beside her
Complains the katydid.
The squirrel is it's lover.
And unafraid and fond
Are bobclink and plover
OF the genial vagabond.
OF all around, above it,
1t has the confidence,
And man and nature love it

Conductor Day of the Northern
Pacific, tells good story on Messrs.
Long and Schuman, who left last
Monday morning to join the Carleton
county deer hunting party. The
story sounded SO good to us that we
have decided to give our readers the
benefit of it. 1t seems that the train
was standing near the. depot at Grey
Eagle, when Mr.. Schuman looking
out Of the window, spied something
that looked to him like deer, and
taking his gun, started out across the
field after it. Long, not wishing to
let anything get away, followed
Schuman. Although their baggage
was left on the train, Conductor Day
heard nothing OF his passengers, and
after the train pulled out of Grey
Eagle he began to inquire as to what
had become of them. He was unable
to find any, clue as to their where
abouts, however, and concluded that
they were lost; but, not wishing to
cause their families any anxiety, con-
cluded that he would wait until the
return trip for further developments.
In the meantime the hunters had
been giving a Jersey calf chase for
it's life in the country around Sank
Centre, and did not learn of their
until a farmer came to claim
his property. To make long story
short, Messrs. Long and Schuman,
looking much the worse for wear,
were at the Sank Centre depot that |
evening when the train came in,
ready to recover their property, and
took the next train for Brainerd. The
farmer IS now eating his Jersey
calf,
