HINDc0 SERVANTS.
Honest If They Arc Watched and
Everything Locked Up.


Everything Locked Up.
Exec .clt Sagvat as the Indian
is in r,aay rose 5, honesty is not
one Of as quslit.eS, and he has to
lie strictly locked after when Ell
Their money or goods are intrusted
to him. A mistress cannot 20 into
her kitchen, consult the cook as
to what the meals should be and
what should be ordered from the
shops and leave the rest to him.
She has to give him out from her
locked up stores every spoonful Of
everything that is required for the
days cooking, else the goods would
be sold outside.
The busters, the name in India
for every description of kitchen and
pantry and stable towel, have to be
dolcd out every day or every two
days, the soiled ones being counted
and locked up till they are given to
the dhobi (washerman), who must
not be allowed to keep the clothes
of the household longer than is abb
solutely necessary or he will let
them out to his friends for small
sums-silk handkerchiefs for feast
days, stockings and wooden under
garments in the cold weather, SO
that holes appear in unaccustomed
places.
A khitmatgar (table servant)
will be observed to wear a pair of
cotton socks one day, silk ones the
next, wooden ones the next, not be-
longing to his master-detection
would be too easy in that case--but
hired from some one else's dhobi
at pice "a farthing) pair. AS
the house servants of course never
wear shoes indoors, the stockings
suffer considerably.
The cook goes to the bazaar
every morning to buy meat, fish,
ghie (native butter), vegetables
all the food in fact that cannot be
stored, and his book is brought for
inspection every day or else ex-
penses would increase in a surpris-
ing manner. He, of course, pock-
let's a percentage on all he spends.
That is dastur, the custom of the
country, and so long as it does not
exceed an anna in the rupee (614
per cent? no one objects. But it is
only by long experience that one
gets to know proper prices, and
newcomers are woefully imposed
upon, 100 or 200 per cent being
often charged.
The cook arranges his prices to
suit the circumstances of his mas
ter, and as soon as promotion with
increased pay comes up goes every
thing, so that a colOneps beef or
mutton costs more than a majors,
majors than a captains, a cap
tain's than snbaltern's, though
there may be no change at all in
the style Of living, or in the num-
Der of the family.
In the civil service the same
thing happens. The pay Of every
post in the various services is pub
hshed in the official lists, and the
servants know to a hafpennY what
their master gets. Some ladies try
to do their ewn MARKETING, but
things are always much dearer for
them than for the natives in the
bazaar, 80 that there is no sdvan-
tage in it, and it is besides extreme
ly disagreeable, for the less one
sees of the stalls there, particular
ly the meat stalls, the better

Starvation.

After about the fifth or sixth day
of starvation the pain of hunger
ceases to be felt, and the sharp
edge Of craving becomes dulled. In
the ultimate stages of starvation
the feelings become so benumbed
that the senses, as messengers Of
intelligence, cease to act. There is
practically no pain, and the mind
lapses into a state of incoherence
and sleepless delirium.

Ravens and the Hapsburus.

Henri de Weiddel Tells the story Of
the late Empress Elizabeth and the
ravens which Maurus Jokel gave in an
article at the time of her maiesty's
tragic death. Early in her life Eliza
beth wrote some verses In Hungarian
on the subject OF the raveu. the bird
of Ill omen, which plays a great part
In the history Of the H%apsburgs. Ac-
cording TO the imperial poetess. a
flight of ravens was lowering over o.
mutz when Francis Joseph received
from his uncle's hands the crown
which was destined to infict pom him
such miseries. A raven followed Max
imlllan and Charlotte on their last
walk before their departure for Mex.

starting to receive the crown Of Spain.

burden. Il raven few over the horses

The BABY Turtle,

Turtles lay their eggs in the sane
and let the sun hatch them ont. They
do not lay them all In one place prob
ably because they think it safer to
scatter them. Then. even though one
be stolen or broken. the others may es-
cape. The mother turtle covers them
all carefully up. II after another. with
a thin sprinkling OF sand and then APP
parently never gives them another
thought. considering her maternal duty
done. Certain 1t is that she has never
been discovered going near these egg
babies again. and when they hatch at
last the tiny soft backed creatures at
once begin crawling around in search
Of dies and other food as independent
ly as II there were no such thing as a
mother In the world. A little girl who
found one OF these odd oblong turtle
eggs on a sandy river bank in Louisi-
ana took it home and put 1t in a teacup
on the table for safe keeping. A few
hours later a slight noise was noticed
In that direction, and on looking in the
cup again she found a baby turtle. run
t1edged. but tiny. scrambling about
among the bits OF its broken eggshell
cradle.

ped off on April Is. What a change
from the timbered regions, but forty
miles to the eastward! Snow! Snow!
Mountains of snow and not a sign of
thaw had yet marked it. There had
been absolutely no railroad traffic be-
tween the Minnesota and Missouri riv-
err for nearly four months, the rails
being buried the whole distance under
four to thirty feet Of snow, crushed
all the way through t. the consistency
of ice.
I found a "snow bucking' crew in
the morning going out to cut about
nine miles to the westward. When
the cut was reached / found a gentle
man by the name of Buchanan, 60
years of age, whose destination was
Walnut Grove, thirty miles west of
the cut. I walked with him all day
and reached Walnut Grove in good
season and slept soundly. We might
have made it much easier on snow
shoes, but we did not sink at all and
the walking and the weather was fine.
The report at Walnut Grove said that
no spot vas to be found where the
crust was less than four feet thick,
and it was estimated that there were
drifts of fully forty feet.
The second day I walked alone, din
ed at Tracy and reached Balaton, 20.6
miles away, for early supper. l slept
here and fell in with three men go
ing my direction. one of whom, At
torney Love Of Huron, Dakota, was
my companion for the remainder of
the tramp. We made Lake Benton.

line at noon and took supper at Auro-
ra, Dakota, 1913 miles; then walked
to Bookings, 81 miles, by moonlight.
Love called up Huron by telegraph
and got this reply: Bring a loaf of
bread in your pocket. We are living
on single nails"
Love had a vision of a conveyance
of some sort from Volga by reaching
that point early in the morning. We
therefore set out from Brookings with
out breakfast, making &C miles by
sunrise. No conveyance was to be
had and, the day turning out blustery,
WI decided to rest at Volga until the
following day.
The sixth day we left Volga in COM
pany with a mail carrier. He had a
one-horse sled with three or four small
letter pouches. No attempt was made
to get through with package or paper
mail. Even the driver of this sled
had to walk, and we soon discovered
that We could distance the horse,
whose feet sunk through the surface
of yesterdays drifts, while ours did
not. There was graham biscuits with
mustard for dinner at Nordland (now
Arlington), the mustard being a delic-
acy. Here We heard a man say that
he wished the mail carrier had
brought some of the delayed news
papers, to which another replied that
he would not care for the mail If he
could only buy a pound OF sugar and
sit down by himself and eat it. Sup

of that town, and strike straight
north for "home and mother" He
was terribly worked up when he learn
ed this; insisted on my following the
telegraph line, and declared l would
certainly get lost if l attempted it.
l pointed to the north star full ahead
and the moon to my back, and bade
him good night. The fact was that
he had a foolish fear of wolves, al
though we had not seer or heard a
single wild creature in al that waste
of snow, and he told m afterwardfy
that he ran at full speed for four
miles after I left him.
l reached the ranch at midnight.
The record then stood: First day,
80 miles; second day, 20.6 miles, third
day, %; fourth day, 29.3; fifth day,
&C; sixth day, 35.5. Total, 144 miles,
Average per diem, "a miles.
What does all this prove with refer
ence to the ease with which one could
move" through that region during the
season referred to? Up to a week or
so earlier the trip would have been
undertaken, if at all, only at a great
risk of being caught between stations
in one of those terrible storms and
being thawed out of a great snow
bank in the spring. A week later
it could not have been accomplished
on account Of the thaw, which held
everyone just where he happened to
get caught, for it thawed night and
day and every dry w~atercourse be-
came a mighty torrent. There was
not, after the thaw began, the slight
est frost until autumn. No spring
that year Winter simply jumped into
summer.
The only explanation. then, of that
record walk must have been that
given by Peary's Eskimo: "The deyn
was having domestic troubles and had
