LETTER FROM INDIA.
Miss Blanche Davis Writing From
That PARKWAY Country.

ed several days ago by Rev. w. S.
Davis from his daughter Miss
Blanche, who is touring India in
company with Rev. DR.. Stone, Of
New York, and is given space in
these columns:
When we got here i'll Bareilly
we found lots of mail from home
for every one ofus. l don't believe
l could have enjoyed any Christ
mas presents more than l did those
letters from you all. To tell the
truth I've been a little homesick
ever since but l like to be that way
if it's caused by letters.
had quite a nice time on
Christmas. Hung up my stocking
as usual, and it was filled. I think
Mrs. Price with whom we stayed
in Calcutta did the Santa Claus
act.
Nothing more of Impotence
happened that day except the din
ner given us by Miss Monkey.
deaconess. While in Calcutta
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, old friends
of Uncle Sumner, showed us quite
good time. They are English
people and really are about the
incest English ones I've seen yet.
They are generally 50 snobbish.
The Saturday before Christmas
they had yachting party tor us
and took us down the Hooglie riv-
er to the famous botanical gardens
where that wonderful Banyan tree
is. 1t certainly is wonderful. Five
hundred feet in circumference and
it has hundreds of stalks. The
other things orchids, houses, ETC.,
are beautiful but the tree is the at
traction. On Monday morning
they took us in their victoria all
over the geological gardens. They
are perfectly wonderful too. They
beat Highland Zoo, but at that
time l should have enioyed being
there.
That same morning Uncle Sum-
ner took US to Kali-ghat. You
know that is the place where they
sacrificed human beings to Kali.
It's the dirtiest, vilest, bloodiest
temple was ever in. They still
sacrifice kids or bullocks every
day. That is where all the fakirs,
beggars, lepers and other miserable
people gather and I never hoped
to see such awful pieces of human
ity. Talk about the beauty of the
Hindoo religion!
On Christmas night after the
usual rush of departure, we left
for Bareilly via Benares and Luck
now We spent all of Wednesday
in Benares. The first thing we
saw was a monkey temple. 1t is
an old tumb1e-down affair, lust
alive with monkeys, all sorts and
sights and conditions; i'll all the
dirt and filth which could be endur-
ed, even by monkeys.
From there we went to the bath
ing CHATS on the Ganges. There
we saw all kinds of people bathing
in and worshiping the river. We
got on little barge and were row.
ed up and down the river to get a
general view of the different CHATS,
temples, etc. The temples along
the river are beautiful in some re-
spects, but are greatly out of re-
pair and many are. half sunken in
the water. The burning CHAT
where all dead bodies are cremat-
ed, is another beautiful" sight.
l thought l saw body in one of
the fires, but as none of the rest
saw it, Aunt Kate said it was i'm
agination and suspect it was.
You know they make a sort of al.
tar and cover the body with wood,
so that it is almost impossible to
see it. There are many fires al
ways burning

STRIPES FOR COAL OIL BARoNs
Colonel hen TIIImnn Thinks that
would Bring Them to

IT reckon you an I'll have to pay a
cent more a gallon for oil in the mornin', -
said United States Senator Ben r TILL
man Sunday morning while in Omaha a
few minutes on his way to Oberlin, Kan.
TO speak at a Chautauqua.
Yes, it'll be fully a cent" the senator
continued. II don't think the companyll
dare to make 1t cents-at least not all
at one time, because that would look too
much like they was tryin to make the
people foot the bill and they don't want
the people to feel bad"
The doughty veteran Of the Chautauaua
platform. as well as of the forum, was
sitting in the smoking compartment OF an
ordinary chair car, in which he was travel
ing on the Burlington. counting his returns
as he spoke. From an inside coat pocket
he extracted a closely-folded bunch of
yellow-backed certificates. From the op-
posite pocket of his coat he pulled out a
few green bills Then. feeling in his
trousers pockets, he picked a wad of yell
low and green mived and sorted them.
smoothing the bills carefully and piling
on top of them the loot from the remaining
receptacle.
Closely pacink the yellow boys together
and patting them, he tucked them inside
a small pocketbook and then selected few
fives, and folding them into a small oblong
bunch, he inserted them in the elipticaI
leather eyegiass case he found and slowed
that away in his left hand trousers pocket
The men In the compartment watched the
senator intently and as he Strengthened up
one asked II he thought the fine imposed
by Judge Lands on the Standard Oil
company would be collected.
Il reckon they'd collect it from you or
me an neveh say turkey" remarked the
senator as he arose to go. They ought
to put stripes on them. Thatd do"
The senator spent the day in Lincoln and
visited at the home Of W. J. Bryan before
leaving in the evening for the west. He
did not have an opportunity to see Mr..
Bryan, however. as he was away from
home on a Chautauqua tour.

MAY VISIT AT MONTE CARLO
Kaiser said to Have Deep Plans
Actuating Trip on Mediter-

MONTE CARLO, Aug. 4-(Special 1T is
reported here that the kaiser has promised
to attend next year the opening of the
museum for deep-sea research which is be-
ing erected by the prince of Monaco. His
majestys visit to the tiny principality will
probably take place on his Mediterranean
cruise, which will have for it's goal the
newly acquired mansion of Achilleion on
the Island OF Corfu A telegram from
Scutari says that the emperor also in
tends during his presence In Mediterranean
waters to make short tour In southern
Albania, touching at ysrtous places of
archaeological interest. The prospect of his
majesty's visit is reported TO have made
deep impression throughout that province
and all of the chief towns and tribes are
said to be very anxious to send deputations
to greet him the moment he sets foot on
Turkish soil They fear, however, to take
any steps on their own initiative and are
not quite certain whether their movements
would meet with the approval of the sui
tan. One of the things which is causing no
end to speculation is said to be how the
Albanians are so well informed.

POLICE RESTRICT NEW GAME
French Children Went Mad over
DiabOIo and PRstime Is
Now Controlled.

PARIS, Aug. Especial. )-Diabolo a
new or rather a revived game since all
Paris went mad over it 100 years ago has
been played furiously for the past month
or two by big and little children In the
Tuilleries and the Champs Elysees. AS
was to be expected the police have now
interfered. No one can play anything here
long before the police begin issuing reg
ulations for the pastime. The Diabolo, a
kind of wooden or metal reel, six inches
long thrown up by rapidly drawing tight
a string held by two slaves, once dropped,
IT appears on a baby's head in a public
garden and the baby is reported to have
died. Another baby pursuing its lost
Diabolo INTO the Champs Elysees carriage
way was run over. The police accordingly
have now issued regulations strictly pro-
hibiting small or large children from play
ing the new game in any narrow garden
walks and limiting the field OF their energy
to certain defined large spaces. Foot ball,
such as ii was, and 1t was not very
strenuous. has also been forbidden in the
Luxembourg gardens, the leather having
hit somebody who was not in the game.

FRENCH PLAY LITTLE GAME
Supposed Meat Trast tn Paris May
Prove To De Cunning
SwfndIe.

PARIS. Aug. 4-(SpeciaL)-An altogether
new complexion. so to speak. is now put
upon the supposed Meat trust The trust
itself turns out TO have been a blu6, ac-
cording to the secretary OF the French
Master Butchers union. Huge capital was
subscribed. amounting to S5No,O00. Land
had been bought in three places. near
Bordeaux and Havre and on the Marne.
All Of the French live stock trade was 20
be monopodzed. Slaughtering was to be
done on true American lines, and not only
was the fresh meat trade to be controlled.
but the country was to be supplied with
the best timed meats on the most ap-
proved Chicago plans The market being
controlled. prices were to be sent up, with
view to compelling the French govern
ment to lower its customs tariffs on i'm
ported cattle. thus allowing the United
States to food France with its beef and
pork At the bottom of the whole scheme
was one Of the most notorious American
meat packing firms. Now the secretary Of
the French Master Butchers union says
that the entire gigantic enterprise is a
bubble
II seems hard to get at the truth. since
the secretary Of the French Cattle Breed
ers said exactly the opposite. The present
authority asserts that the whole scheme is
merely a company promoting a bubble
He believes that the big company itself Is
fiction and that the whole scheme wi
never be carried out. Land may or may
not have been bought. Slaughter houses
may may not have been planned But
at any rate. he doub-J whether a single
sheep will ever be slaughtered there. He
hears that many butchers, fascinated by
the hugeless of the scheme have FASTENED
to obtain a small finger In the problematic
pie and have subscribed &, O00 $500, s. ,OOO
or $500 But the whole thing, he insists
is mere company hotation. Once hoated
the promoters will leave the scheme alone
backing .out of it. naturally. at a profit
1t is declared that the process is not un-
familiar in finance. The subscribers win
be left with a great enterprise their
hands and no American capital at all be-
hind it. The new version of the gigantic
Meat trust is even more curious than the
others. Only thing is certain in this
connection, and that is that it is very
hard to find out the truth.

FENUGREEK SEED NOT A CURE
Merely an AdIunct to - Experiment
I'm Treatment OF Tuber-
culosts.

Several days ago a gentleman living in
Detroit wrote to Postmaster Palmer in
quiring about some experiments Dr. A. s
Won Mansfelde is making with fenusrcek
seed in treatment Of tuberculosis. The let
ter reached The Bee, and a note Of inquiry
was addressed to Dr. Won Mansfelde a.
Ashland. In reply the doctor writes:
Little at present can be said regarding
fenugreek, except what little experimenting
have been able to make seems TO point
to two conclusions:
"First-That there seems to be no doubt
Of the fattening " Hty Of the seeds Of
fenugreek, over and, )nd the food value
OF carbohydrates they contain.
'Secondly-It seems a fact that in the
ratio that we prevent the burning up Of
fat in the body Of the consumptive. or
contrive to add to the fatty tissue OF
the body. we succeed in staying or evea
terminating the course towards death in
cases Of consumption.
THE burning up Of the fat Of the body
seems to be the first and prime factor in
the course Of tuberculosis alf other conse-
quences seem to follow, or to grow out
Of this consumption Of fat; hence the use
Of cod liver OIL since times immemorial
and the deduction on my part that II
fenugreek fattens, and quickly SO, then It
may prove Of prime Importance in the
management, and. possibly, cure OF con-
sumption
Il have given the powdered seed in
teaspoonful doses at first increasing the
dose in the course of a month. little by
little, to heaping tablespoonful doses, aft
erwards giving it. instead OF once. two
or three times day. We find that it is
best taken in thin cream. rinsed down
with hot milk. 1t has the taste OF ripe
beans or peas, except that it is very bitter
when chewed or soaked in water. hot or
cold. 1t seems perfectly harmless.
Il use the seeds and have them powdered
right here, because I do not know whether
the powder. which can be bought in al
most any drugstore, is pure. 1t may. how
ever, be used until the seeds are procured
which can be readily done; they are cheap
hence can be used by the poorest"
DR.. Won Mausfelde adds a note of ex-
postulation to the editor, setting forth that
he is not putting this forward as a cure
for consumption. In this connection he
says
THE mere knowledge that fenugreek may
prove highly beneficial IN the treatment
OF tuberculosis. and a knowledge of the
dosage, should not be relied upon as the
alpha and omega towards a cure. All
the other faetors-and they are many
which have proven so very beneficial in the
management of this terrible disease should
not be neglected The reaching out for
straw. just one straw, by the drowning
has been the cause of the loss of many
precious lives, and especially in the case
of consumption, when, If all the means
proven beneficial had been used many of
these lives would have been saved. And
whilst I am happy to think that l may
be permitted to furnish one tiny straw,
do not want to be guilty Of making believe
that my straw is self-sufficient. 1t is not;
in the nature of the case, it cannot be"
