TRAVELLING IN INDIA.
One Must Hire . Native Servant or
Endure Endless Trouble.

Endure Endless Trouble.
Every one who goes to India to travel
or live at hotels, says the Chicago Rec
ord Herald, must have personal serv-
ant, a native who performs the duties
Of valet, waiter and errand boy and
whatever else may be required of him.
This is a fixed custom of the country,
to resist which brings endless trouble
to the traveller.
Many Of the Indian hotels expect the
guests to bring all their own servants,
both chambermaids and walters, and
are consequently SO short handed that
the traveller who comes without them
has usually to wait upon himself.
On the railways native servant is
quite indispensable, for travellers are
required to carry their own bedding,
make their own beds and furnish their
own towels. The company provides a
bench to sleep on similar to those in
American freight cabooses
Each car has also q washroom and
sometimes water. But If the traveller
wishes to be sure of washing his face
in the morning and If he is wise he will
send his servant to the station master
before the train starts and ask to have
the water tank filled. Then a Hindoo
with goatskin full of water will
climb to the roof Of the car and fill it
and, having descended, will stand be-
fore the door and touch his forehead
every time the traveller looks toward
him till he receives penny.
At the eating houses along the road
the servant will have to raid the ta-
bles and shelves for food and bring it
to the car for his master, since no wait
ers are provided. In addition he will
hire baggage carriers and will attend
to all the details of catching trains and
engaging rooms.
A good servant can be hired for SIS
q month. Poorer bearers" as they are
called, can be engaged for 81 or So a
month and expect to find" them
selves, but the traveller must pay rail-
way fare for them.

There Is no short cut to happiness.
Virtue is not matter Of vocabulary.
Nothing succeeds where the soul fails.
A little silence may save a lot of sor-
row.
With God life and love are synony-
NOUS.
A sharp man always cuts his own
Angers.
Repentance cannot tear up the roots
Of the past.
No man reaches the stage Of triumph
but by the steps Of trial.
The man who takes life as dose al
ways finds it q bitter one.
A man makes no particular progress
b. patt1ng himself on the back.
Virtue may be its own reward, but it
y not its own advertising agent.
Some men expect to acquire all their
good habits in their second childhood

THE GAMBLING MANIA.
How 1t F1auntea Itself At One Tinl
In the French Capital.

How 1t F1auntea Itself At One Tino
In the French Capital.
Some of the old stories told of the
gaming tables can hardly be believed
nowadays, though they are related in
such a cool, matter Of fact style by
writer's of the time as to show that In
the eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries the practice formed a part
Of high class social existence. Captain
0ronow relates that, having been ap-
pointed to the staff of General Picton,
who was then starting for Brussels
(1S15). he obtained $1,000 from the ar
my agents, which" he continues, II
took with me to gambling house in
st. James square, where l managed,
by some wonderful accident, to win
1900" With this sum he subsequently
provided his necessary outfit.
When the allies marched into Paris
after the battle Of Waterloo, Gronow
found the Palais Royal a hotbed of
gambling-"the very heart Of French
dissipation" There were tables for
al classes. The workman might play
with 20 sous or the gentleman with
10000 francs. The law did not prevent
any class from INDUCING in vice that
assisted to fill the Golfers Of the munich
pality Of Paris" The English visitors
were not slow to participate in the
play, one officer of the guards obtaining
leave of absence and never quitting the
Palais Royal till the time came for his
return to the regiment.
Large fortunes were often lost at
gambling in those days, the losers dis
appearing never more to be heard Of.
Lord Thanet, for instance, who had an
income Of $25O,OO0 year, lost every
farthing at play and, concludes Gro
now, Il do not remember any instance
where those who spent their time in
this den did not lose all they possess
