DECLARES LIQUOR NOT NEEDED.
According to Writer, Europeans In
Tropics Are Better Without II.

Transmitting an article written by
DR.. Harold H. Mann, and published in
"The Young Men of India" under
the title Of rs Drink Necessary for
Europeans In India?" Consul General
William H. Michael of Calcutta writes:
Europeans and Americans who
come to India do not need liquors to
keep well; they will be better with.
out stimulants of any kind. After
nearly two years residence here my
observations lead me to say that drink
ers Of spirits, wines and malt liquors
are the most susceptible to disease,
especially fevers, either on the plains
or in the mountains, of any class Of
the inhabitants. Proper regard for
dress, to guard against sudden wealth
er changes, moderation in eating, es-
pecfally meats; using only filtered and
boiled water, entire abstention from
alcoholic. vinous and malt liquors, and
plenty of sleep will almost invariably
insure, to the average healthy per-
son, good and uniform health, as far
as fevers are concerned, and by add
ing vaccination and incubation, will
go long way toward making that
person immune from contagious dis
eases"

Confederation Of Bible Story.

Burgsch Bey, the Egyptologist, says
that 1t is no longer difficult to under
stand the origin Of the seven lean
years" narrative in the book of Gene
sis. The hieroglyphic inscriptions
translated by him show that 1,7OO
years before the Christian era the
Nile for seven consecutive years did
not overflow and famine, pestilence
and misery followed. I'VE know"
says he. that the date Of the seven
years Of fruitlessness mentioned in
Genesis was 100 B. c. and thus what
has been looked upon as a fancy has
through these hieroglyphics become a
matter Of history. The failure Of the
Nile to overflow, the withering Of the
vegetation. the lands devoid Of crops,
famine and the consequent scourges
are all depicted in the pictures which
the student has been able to do
cipher"

end Of the candle for distance of
two or three inches. The actual can.
die is not more than four or five inch
es in length. though larger ones are
made for use on the sacrificial affairs,
IN large lanterns. etc. The candles
are of a peculiar Chinese shape. about
five-eighths Of an inch at the top, taper
ing at the bottom, from which the
straw wick projects. The hole in the
straw gives an opportunity to stick
these on a small wire spike which
projects from the center of all Chinese
candlesticks, and which holds the can
die in an upright position.

GUARDING Bank Of France.

Like the Bank of England, the Bank
OF France is now guarded every night
by soldiers. But within quite recent
time the officials at the French bank
resorted to a very novel method Of
protecting their bullion.
This consisted in engaging masons
to wall up the doors of the vaults in
the cellar with hydraulic mortar as
soon as the money was deposited each
day In these receptacles. The water
was then turned on and kept rum
ming until the whole cellar was
flooded. A burglar would be obliged
to work in diving suit and break
down a cement wall before he could
even begin to plunder the vaults.
When the bank officials arrived next
morning the water was drawn off, the
masonry torn down and the vaults
opened.

BEAUTIES OF A FLY BLISTER.
Clearly They Must Be Experienced to
Be Appreciated.

The Marshfield News tells how Her
man Bauer treated himself for pain
in the back. Instead of forgetting it
Mr. Bauer slapped Spanish fly blis-
ter on his person. A fly blister is a
good deal like hiring butcher to skin
you. In about five minutes it set up a
confagration on Herman like a fire
in paint shop.
He at once separated himself from
the plaster, but the latter left its
warm, CHEEKY influence behind. There
was no let up to the pain 1t gave him
At three in the morning it was still
burning like a coal of fire, and, un-
able to stand 1t any longer, he tele-
phoned for his family doctor, who
happened to be eight miles out in the
country. Herman now imagined he
could smell. burning flesh. Daylight
brought the doctor, who with proper
solutions soon got the fire under con-
troll. There is a spot on Herman's
back about the size of wool hat, but
the other pain has quit.
If you must put a fly blister on
somebody, put 1t on the baby. He will
holler. anyhow. Or on the policeman.

POOR BUSINESS FOR MINISTER.
Marriage Ceremony Left him Some
thing Out Of Pocket.

Several years ago Rev. Mr.. G.
was one Of the leading Baptist clergy
men In one Of our Eastern cities. Ono
Sunday evening after the usual SER
vice a couple came up to him and
asked II he would marry them: He
agreed to, and the ceremony was per-
formed without incident. After the
usual blessing the newly married cou-
pie went down the aisle toward the
door. When they reached the entrance,
however, something seemed suddenly
to occur to the bridegroom, for he left
the bride and came back to the pulpit
where the minister was, and said:
"Parson, haven't got any money to
pay for this Job, so I'll be glad II you
will trust me. I'll pay you as soon as
l get the money"
"All right" replied Mr. G.. PAY
me whenever 1t is convenient" and
the man again started for the door.
A second time he came back, this
time to say:
"Parson, it's raining. Excuse me,
but will you lend me so cents SO we
can get home? l can't take her out in
this rain, you know"
He got the so cents.

ROULETTE PLAYED WITH spool.
Newsboys' Game Which Has Small
Chances for the Pluneers.

Perhaps 1t isn't an entirely new
game, but 1t was the first time that
the wayfarer had seen 1t, says the
New York Sun.
A group Of newsboys were gathered
about another boy who had an Inn
provised top made of a spool pierced
by sharpened skewer. The spool
was so cut that 1t presented four
square sides, each marked with a let
ter. The letters were P. T. N. and A.
The boy with the top spun 1t. while
the others made wagers, mostly In
cents. When the top came to rest 1t
naturally fell on one Of the square
sides.
What does It mean" asked the
wayfarer.
WELL" said one of the boys. "ac-
cording to the way the top falls you
can make or lose the money you put
up. II 1t drops on P then you put in
a sum equal to what you bet for the
fellow who runs the wheel. II 1t falls
on T then you can take back the
stake you put up.
III 1t comes on N that means none.
You lose Just what you put up. II
1t comes to A then the banker has to
pay all the men who are playing

a rR,se OF FIGHTING INDIANS.
Aborlgines Of Central America Seem
insIy Without Fear.

Il so5ourned for more than q year in
Central America, mostly In Hondur-
az, where l went to make a study Of
tho native Indian tribes" said Charles
G. Lesseuer Of New Orleans.
These aborigines are mostly Of
warlike mold and as brave fighters as
any OF the human race. l was es-
pecfally impressed with the inhabi-
tants of the Copan and Gracias dis
tricts. They are the best fighting
stock In all Latin America. Three or
four hundred Of them will often defeat
an army of thrice their size. They
are ever eager for battle and reck
nothing of heavy adverse odds. They
are supposed to be Christians, but
from what l saw and learned Of 9TH
ers l came to the belief that they prac-
tfce heather rites and ceremonies.
They are excellent friends, but ter
rible enemies, and II defeated in bat
tie are apt to visit their wrath on their
unfortunate officers.
"These Indians cling to their primi-
tive customs and do most Of their
hunting with bows and arrows. The
way they use the bow is rather unique.
They sight their game, calculate the
distance and then shoot their arrows
into the air, whereupon the weapon
falls upon the mark, whether bird or
beast, seven times out of ten. with
fatal effect."-Baltimore American.
