Beware of Indian Railways.

A great deal has been said about the
cheapnes5 and excellence of the Indian
railway service, but to all who read /
say beware! First-class travel in In
ola is not equal to the accommodations
offered by the freight trains in Amer
lea You are piled into an apartment
with other travellers, who may have
enough luggage to fill a freight car.
When an AnglO-Indian goes travelling
he takes along his bath tub and tent,
his blankets and boots and saddles, and
his numerous tin boxes and trunks, the
latter often being elongated chests
about the size of collins.
You have to carry your own bedding
and towels. Your journey may be for
days through the desert, but there is
no drinking water in the car. Some
trains carry dining cars, but you must
wait for the train to stop before you
can get into them. Once inside the
diner, you have to remain there for
several hours after you have finished
your meal. The rolling stock is poorly
constructed, poorly lighted and poorly
cared for. On the whole the railway
system in India is an argument against
government ownership.
Fully 10000 people are killed annually
by snakes in India, the deadly cobra
being responsible for the most of these
fatalities. The numerous snake charm
ers who appear before the hotels to en-
terrain visitors are disappointing. They
attract little attention from anyone ex-
Cept the tourist, and he loses interest
as soon as he is told that there is little
danger from handling the reptiles on
account of their venom having been re-
moved. This is accomplished by fore
ing them to bite cloths at frequent in
tervals. However, the wild snakes arc
deadly, and the barefooted
I ative who stUmbles upon one lies down
to die with the belief that there is no
help for him-that his fate is written
on his forehead"

Stories of the Hospital.

~NVI ISS Ut NFIN EIOoPItdF'
A hospital assistant told me about
some amusing experiences in that insti-
tuition. Unexpected difficulties are met
with in even the simple task of receiv-
ing patients. OF course, when medicine
is issued to anyone the record must be
entered in the books, but on such an
occasion the husband when asked the
name of his wife will reply: Who
knows the name of woman" Ask the
wife her name and she just giggles ana
hides behind her veil. This Is because
it Is considered improper for a wo-
mans name to be pronounced in the
presence of her husband or other male
relatives. 1t is almost impossible to
fix dates Of any occurrence, even the
birth of a child. ASK q father the age

The English Are Slow.

India is so slow in a business way
that II almost breaks the heart of d
western hustler when he tries to do
business according to the antiquated
standards in vogue there. Would fl
not be exasperating to have TO wait
thirty-two days for a reply to a letter
from man doing business across the
street? Especially when you knew your
customer was at home and eventually
expected to do business with you. His
assistant says that he is somewhat be-
hind with his work, but it is noticed
that he is never late at the club or
tardy at the tennis court You talk
with an Englishman about the slow
going methods of doing business, and
he will excuse the fact by saying:
Look what swine we have to work
withdrawing his Indian assistants
but in reality he is as much to blame
as his help.
In bank it takes three men to sign
paper. One holds the blOtter and
another carries the document away
when it is signed. The Englishman has
his dog and his pony boy, When he
goes TO the tennis court or the swim
ming pool his boy goes along to carry
his racquet or bathing suit. 1t makes
a gTown-up man real tired to see these
pacing around with their
retinues of petty assistants and car
riers. If they would pay more atten-
ton TO business instead of straining
themselV IS for stylish effect they
would doubtless find a partial explara-
ton of the reason why the pIodding
German is getting their trade away
from them

all that is necessary to restore him to
his usual state of health.
Difficulties of Advertising.

India is almost a hopeless case for
the advertising experts This is true
because 80 per cent of the population
cannot read. The Mohammedans, num-
bering 81, 100000, cannot be reached
through pictorial devices because tney
believe that the reproduction OF any
thing that has life is usurping the
power OF the Creator. The Hindus.
who constitute the bulk of the popul2-
ton, do not believe in the destruction
Of any form Of animal life. and consc
quently will not buy many products
that sell readily to other races.
The publishers in india are so old
fashioned and slow that they exhaust
the patience of tire modern advertising
agent. The representative of one of the
best concerns in the world told me that
he sent a letter of Inquiry to $50 pub
fishers. asking them for specimen copies
or their papers and a quotation OF ad-
vertising rates. Only sixteen Of the en-
tire number replied at all, and most of
these told him they dill not give papers
away that If he wanted a copy 10 SEND
cents in stamps. This agent is now
trying to reach the people by sending
men through the streets mounted on
gaily caparisoned camels. Samples are
distributed TO the crowds which congre-
gate. and the merits of the goods are
explained, However, this method is re-
garded as too slow and expensive, and
II is likely that the company will con

The Ashe. OF The Dead.

James Russell Lowell was a great
favorite in the literary circles Of Lon
don. On one occasion at d large ban
quet the peculiarities of American
speech were discussed with English
bluntness. Lord S. called to Mr. Lowell
loudly, so as TO silence all other speak
ers:
There is one new expression invent
ed By your countrymen so foolish and
vulgar as to be objectionable. They
talk of the ashes of the dead We
don't burn corpses. No Englishman
would use a phrase so absurd"
And yet said Mr.. Lowell gently.
your poet Gray says. speaking of the
dead:
Fer in our ashes live their wonted fires
..And in the burial services of the
church of England it is said. Dust to
dust and ashes to ashes We sin il
good company. 4 cordial burst OF ap.
plause greeted this nnnpnt seioinder.

Death of Old Resident.

Lowell, md, August Jacob
Nichols, after an extreme illness of
more than four months. died at the
home Of his son-in-law. Jas Palmer,
Monday, August 6. In the departure
of Mr. Nichols from this earth, Low
ell and the entire south end Of Lake
county will lose a familiar charac-
ter that has been among us for over
half a century. Mr.. Nichols passed
through Lake county on his way to
Iowa from Wylander County, Ohio,
in the year 1854. He remained in
Iowa but a short time. returning to
near Lowell in 1855, living for about
one year on what is now the Peter
Frederick farm, when he purchased
the now Cyrus Hayder Jr, farm
near Creston, where he resided until
about ten years ago when he came
to Lowell, making his home alter
natsly at the home of his son, Mar
shall Nichols and daughter, Mrs
James Palmer. There was but little
settlement in this county at the time
Mr.. Nichols came to it, and being a
very industrious man, he of course
shared the hardships of toll and Ia
Dor of those times. There were nc
railroads here at that time and all
the freighting had to be done by
horses from Lake Station in the north
end of the county and from Chicago
He marketed all his grain and pro-
duce to these places, and when build
ing his first barn the lumber and
material was hauled from Chicago
distance of 45 miles. Mr. Nichols

The severest test of manhood is never
found in good times. but only in hard
times. 1t is not the man who has sue
cess when others are doing well, but
it is the man who keeps up his courage

is wavering or going down who is the
hero in the sight Of God and men. 1t is
an easy matter to make good time
when both wind and tide are ia ones

skin and daring to make head in spite
of opposing forces or to work success
fully against the overwhelming
