ORIENTAL SERVANTS.
All Around Ability Of the Indispensable
MRoy" In India.

In these days Of loud wailing about
the naughty domestic. exorbitant
wages and small returns it is sooth-
ing to recall the efficiency and submis-
sive service of the oriental servant.
In India the indispensable ''boy'
does everything-"boy' being a ge.
neric name regardless of age OF native
dignity-receiving in remuneration the
equivalent of SIP to $14 a month at
the most. He buys your railroad tick
cts, checks your luggage, settles the
clamors of luggage coolies, gives your
tips and Shoes away the hordes of
beggars, telegraphs to hotels for your
rooms and takes care Of them when
you get there, makes the bed, brings
the afternoon tea, stands behind your
chair at table and serves you, brings
your account when you leave and
wrangles for you over it's inevitable
extortions
At the dak bungalows he forages
for your meals and, if necessary,
cooks them. He produces washmen,
sewing men and all sorts of dealers in
everything on demand He makes up
your bed on sleeping cars and replen-
ishes your supply Of ice and Soda
He runs your errands, cleans your
boots and hats, darns your stockings
and mends your clothes.
When you walk abroad, he attends
you and directs you to the bazaars
where you will be robbed least, receiv-
ing his commission later from an ap-
preciative proprietor
For every rupee intrusted to him
for general expenditure he renders an
account, and though he doubtless robs
you gently he does not let others do it
(and it is distinctly advantageous to
be robbed by one person rather than a
score).
He is silent and noiseless, salaams
whenever you speak to him and never
enters your presence with his shoes
on or his turban off.
And finally, his multifarious day
ended, he wraps himself in his shawl
and sleeps across your threshold-New
York Tribune.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy ana
Z Ambition Slipping Away.

"A woman Finds ALI Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.
Princeton women know how the
aches and pains that come when XII d
neys fail make life burden. Back
ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
all tell of sick kidneys and warn you
of the stealthy approach of diabetes,
dropsy and Bright's disease. Doan's
Kidney Pills permanently cure all
these disorders. Here's proof of it in
q Princeton woman's words:
Mrs. Fanny Heath, Princeton,
Mimi, says: 81 had kidney COM
plant for years. Dizzy spells and
headaches were frequent, my back was
very weak and lame and at times the
pains through my loins were so severe
that was unable to stoop. Doan's
Kidney Pills we're finally brought to
my attention and, seeing that they were
highly recommended for such COM
plants, procured a box at the Home
Drug Store. They benefited me great
~ and I am glad to endorse them.''

SAW THE GHOST.
A Story That Stood the Test Of a
Court Of aw

d
Court Of Law.
AS a circumstantial ghost story and
one that stood the cold scrutiny of a
court of law Booty's case is without a
parallel. The date given is 1858. when
Mrs. Booty brought an action for SIAN
der against one Captain Barnaby for
what he had said of her late husband.
According to an extract from jour-
nal produced in court, dated Friday,
May Is, 1857, the captain on that day
went ashore with large party of
friends to shoot rabbits upon Strombo-
Ii, the island off Italy, which, from its
ever burning crater, is called :'the
lighthouse Of the Mediterranean At
about $50 in the afternoon two men
were seen running toward the volcano,
which was emitting flames. Captain
Barnaby then exclaimed, Lord bless
me, the foremost is old Booty, my
next door neighbor." They then van
ished in the flames, a fact of which
every one present took note.
Upon Captain Barnaby's return to
England he learned that "old Booty"
had died just about the time of the
strange occurrence at Stromboli. He
then made the remark which was the
subject Of the action, that he "had
seen old Booty running into the flames
Of hell pursued by the devil Mrs.
Booty claimed $1,000 as damages, and
the case came on in the kings bench
before the chief justice, Sir Robert
Wright. For the defense, in addition
to the testimony of Captain Barnaby
and his friends, old Booty's clothes
were brought into court and identified
by several witnesses as being similar
to those worn by the foremost man
who ran into the crater-even to the
peculiar buttons on the coat. The
judge was so impressed by this evil
dence that he said: ':Lord have mercy
upon me and grant that may never
see what you have seen. One, two or
three may be mistaken, but not thir
ty." And so Booty's widow lost the
day, and the case remains, perhaps, as
the only judicially accepted ghost
story on record.-London Chronicle.
