The seat of government during the time of year Europeans are able to stand the climate there, is at Calcut- ta. In summer, when this city would te intolerable to the foreigner, the en- tire seat is removed to Simla, in the north, up in the mountains. Whilst in residence at Calcutta the viceroy dwells at government house, a most imposing residence built by the Mar quis of Wellesley, Q797) at a cost of $5,000,00O. The great pile is set in beautiful grounds in the very heart of Calcutta, worthy palace in ''the city of palaces" Notable apartments are the throne room, the council cham Der, the ball room and dining room.

 Simla was made summer headouar- ters for the government back in 1864. The situation of the place is magni- ficent.

One caste arranges the flowers, another cleans the plate, third puts candles into the candle sticks, but fourth lights them; one fills jug of water, while it requires either a higher or a lower man to pour it out. The man who cleans your boots would not condescend to hand you cup of tea, and the person who makes your bed would be dishonored if he were to take any other part in doing your room. The consequence is that, instead of one neat housemaid at work, when you go to my lady's chamber you find seven or eight men in various stages of dress, each put. ting hand to some little thing which has to be done"
 Lady Dufferin gives us a glimpse at the pomp and ceremony observed when Dunbar is held-that is, when the viceroy receives a state visit from native chiefs. "A still grander throne than usual was placed for the viceroy it was silver one. with large gold lions for arms; an attendant with a white yak's tail in his hand stood by, lest fly should trouble his excellency's composure; a gold-embroidered car. pet was laid before the dais, and chairs were arranged on either side of 1t. Some attendants held punches of peacock feathers set in gold, and others had very big gilt maces in their hands. When the maharajah reached the door, the viceroy got up and walk. cd to the middle of the room to meet him, shook hands with him, and mo tioned him to a chair on his right, while his followers took lower places on the same side. The maharajah's dress was green and gold. After short conversation the maharjah's at. tendants are presented to the vieeroy, and each one holds out to him one gold mohur: which he touches, thus politely expressing, You may keep it though you are so anxious to give if to me-" At a signal. the vieeroy's at tendants bring in two vessels; one containing altar of roses, the other something wrapped up in silver and gold paper; the vieeroy puts bit of altar of roses on the maharajah's hand. and gives him the silver and l gold paper parcel, within which thers l probably is small piece of betel nut; and shortly the ceremony is ended

SOME HOBO GAMES
HOW OUR "LEIsURE' GLASS
 TAKES IN MONEY.
Profitable Occupations Requiring But Little Exertion-High- Class Hobo ! Lives Well-Comparisons of
 Two Kinds of Graft.

There are hobos and hobos' cast in this world which separates strictly. Members perhaps lowest down in the social scale are those known as punk bums," the fellows that loaf on public benches and beg for their bread, expect little above that-"punk' means bread, and bum, of course, does not need interpretation.
 A self-respecting hobo lives quite well; never pays less than 15 cents for his bed, and wants good clean one; he gets good breakfast at the right place for ten cents-coffee, great bowl of it, bread and butter, oatmeal, and some kind of hot meat. On Sunday for 15 cents he can dine sumptuously with a bowl of soup, roast of chicken or nut ton or beef, peas or beans, rice pudding and coffee.
 The conservative hobo does not eat more than two meals day, not want ing food to spoil his appetite for drink. A correspondent of the Washington Star was told by one of the gentlemen referred to, that hobo of his class could live we'll on two dollars day; the meals and bed costing as above, and good dollar and half left for drink for himself and friends; for liquor is meat, drink and family to the hobo, absolutely indispensable.
 In the interview granted the Star by this high parsonage, he gave some in- teresting information concerning the means of subsistence of the better fed and housed hobo, which information does not make for any increase for faith in the unfortunate looking specimens of humanity one sees peddling in the down. town streets of large city; but it may be the interview was treating the in terviewer to good story without un- due regard for veracity; and it goes without saying that not all the unfor- tunate looking that try to eke out sub sistence in little trading, are gross

Hundreds of Lives Lost and Towns
 Devastated Tn Italy.
 ROME, Sept. 9-All Italy is suffer ing from terrible depression because of the news from the south, where one of the worst earthquakes ever expert enced occurred today. Although the earthquake was felt all over Calabria and to certain extent in Sicily, the worst news comes from Pizzo and Monteleone and from eighteen villages which are said to have been completely destroyed. According to the latest news received, 370 persons have been killed and a great number injured. It is as yet impossible to even estimate the property losses.
 Scenes of indescribable terror en- sued! Women aroused from their sleep rushed half clothed into the streets screaming with fear, carrying their ba- bies and dragging along their other children and calling for help on the Madonna and the saints. The men es- capped into the open with their families, all calling on their favorite saints for protection. The cafes were taken by assault by the strangely garbed crowd, but as daylight broke without repeti- tion of the earthquake the crowd grad ually melted away until by 8 o'clock the streets had almost assumed their normal appearance except in the ruin ed villages, where the inhabitants had no homes to go to. The general confu- sion was added to by dreadful cries from the jails, where the prisoners were beside themselves with fright and in some cases mutinied, but fortunate ly all the prisoners were kept within bounds.

Wit of Great Preacher.

OF all the brilliant preachers Of
modern times no one shone more re.
splendently in conversation than the
eloquent Baptist minister, Robert
Hall. For all whining pietists, for all
oracular utterers Of commonplace, all
anglers for praise, in the pulpit or
elsewhere, the great preacher had an
ineffable contempt. One day sickly,
querulous old man belonging to his
congregation met him in the street
and said: "Ah, Mr.. Hall, you have
never-been to see me, sir Pve-I've
I've been very i'll; I've been-at
deaths door, Mr.. Hail." "Why didn't
you step in?" was the quick response.
When asked for advice by young
man who desired to enter the minis
try, and who gave as reason that he
wished not to bury his talents in a
napkin, Hall replied: "Then put them
in a pocket handkerchief, sir; that
will be large enough!"

Welsh Regiment Was Proud Of Ami.

On some of the ships of the United
States navy a goat is an honored
member of the ships company, and
the pet and mascot" OF the crew.
In some regiments of the army also
an animal mascot is maintained,
though the custom Is not so general
with us as with our British cousins,
with whom it is very old.
One celebrated and much travelled
mascot, Billy. the goat of the I'd bat
talon royal Welsh fusiliers, recently
died on the march from Chakrata to
Aga. He was presented by Queen
Victoria to the regiment in 1894, and
came from Windsor home park.
Billy had, therefore, served with the
battalion for ten years and accom-
panied them to Malta, Egypt, Crete,
Hongkong and India. The first goat
was presented by Queen Victoria SO
long ago as the year 1889.
How the custom arose of having
goat as regimental pet is not known,
but the royal Welsh are known in the
British army by the nicknames OF

The Remedy Used by Mr.. schroeppel ana

In the winter Of 1902 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by a severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
auently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
"After five orysix weeks of helpless
ness and pain" said he, "during which
I was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, felt as bad as ever. just then
nv mother, a woman eighty years OF
age, paid me visit. She had received

absolutely none. For year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Within the bounds Of China township,
St. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted great deal Of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing OF the
salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel's case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment.
It is little wonder that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in the COM
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so well and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful in curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis

Cramp rings were rings which were
supposed to cure cramp and falling
sickness" They are said to have
originated as far back as the middle of
the eleventh century, in ring pre-
5ented by a pilgrim to A-jward the
Confessor, king of England, which,
after that rulers death, was preserved
as relic in Westminster abbey. and
was applied for the cure of epilepsy
and cramp. Hence appears to have
arisen the belief that rings blessed
by English sovereigns were efficacious

RIDE zEBRAs AT LONDON ZOO
Wild Animals Are Being Broken to
the Saddle.

Wild Animals Are Being Broken to
the Saddle.
Motor cars and electric trans have
been the means of driving thousands
of horses from our thoroughfares and
the noble animal" as he used to be
called in our copy books, now has
another possible rival in the zebra,
says the London correspondent of the
Detroit News-Tribune.
It has long been known that this
animal can be broken to harness, and
experts declare that it is more intel
ligent and tractable than the horse.
One doubts this, however, as it has
been discovered lately that no crea-
ture in the world possesses such a
memory as a horse. Still, some inter.
esting experiments have lately taken
place at the geological gardens, Lon
don, where the king has recently sent
the zebras presented to him by Meme
lik, the ruler of Abyssinia. After a
few hours training or rather coaxing
the zebras allowed themselves to be
saddled and ridden and the authori-
ties hold out hopes that in time these
animals will share with elephants and
camels the duty of carrying children
around the gardens.
It was, however, rather unlucky that
the Grevy zebra, 9 years old, should
have died few days after the course
of lessons.
