A HINDO0'S TOILET.
Curious Morning Scene In an East
 Indian Compound.


 All over the compound, from veran- Eas and "go-downs," forms are seen rising from sleep, each one wrapping the drapery of his couch about him." with no idea in doing so of conforming to any standards urged upon the at- tention of the race by Mir. Bryant. but for the simpler if less poetic reason that these draperies constitute his bed- ding by night and his neither garment by day. But do not make the mistake of thinking that because the require ments of the Hindoo's costume are scanty his toilet is therefore per functory matter. Follow him to the well. The chances are that you will never drink water again, but you will obtain knowledge. On the brink of that great yawning hole in the ground known as the compound well, whose sides are of stone and whose steps lead you down to the waters edge, behold the males" of the compound. Di- vested of the draperies already re- ferred to and in attitudes ranging all the way from the pose of tlN Disk Thrower" to that of the most resolute squatter upon western claim, they are lined up in row from the top of the steps to the bottom. In the hand of each is a ohatty, and one and all are engaged in the offices of the morn- ing bath. And their tub is the we'll The brimming chGtties are passed up and the empty ones down, legs arc curried, feet are secured, teeth are pol ished with charcoal and stick, threats are gargled, noses trumpeted, and. in short, the whole man receives such q washing and splashing. such a rub ping and scrubbing, such molishing and polishing, as leaves nothing to be desired except in connection with the well. This latter consideration, how ever, is one that does not disturb the Hindoo, who priding himself upon be- ing externally the cleanest platter in the universe, devotes but little thought to the inside of the dish.
 His ablutions ard those of his col- leagues concluded, he fills his chatty once more from the pure fountain be- low, lifts 1t high in the air, throws bis head back and with unerring aim pours the crystal llbation in one long. steady stream down his open throat. skillfully poised to receive and conduct it to his germ proof interior. This done, his draperies are resumed, and he departs to his work.
 Suddenly, as out of a catapult, the sun leaps up from behind the eastern hills, and day is at hand.-Mary Ana bel Chamberlain in Atlantic.

 A story is told of how the reluctant giving of promissory note by a penni- less New York lawyer brought for tune into his pocket amounting to sew eral millions. The man referred to, John M.

He struggled on for year or two and was constantly seeking odd jobs outside of the law to enable him to exist when a friendly lawyer in whose office he had desk room called him aside one day.

 'I have not a dollar to my name" exclaimed Blxby.
 You can give me your note. and I will renew it until you get ready to pay it." replied the lawyer.
 The young man hesitated for some time. He was very nervous about plac- irg himself under obligation for % large sum, but finally consented. Young Bixby had to ask for the re- newal of his note two or three times. had to deprive himself Of the necessi- ties of life to hold the farm until the opening of the Erie canal and the first lighting of the city by gas gave the metropolis a rev birth and his farm was quickly swallowed in the growth At the time of hIs death Bixby's prop erty was worth sT.OO0.oO0.
