beggars, and the lame, halt and blind
were jostled by the bulls and cows. One
poor fellow, all skin and bones and naked

red stumps at me as he nodded his head
to the brass plate on his knee. He was
delighted with the one-fourth of a cent

Benares is holy largely because it lies
on the Gauges. That river is mere to the
Indian than the Jordan is to the Chris
tian. II Hindoo prays within one hum
dred miles of its banks that prayer will
wipe out the sins of three past genera
tons. and If he has his head shaved
he will have a million years In Para
disc for every hair that floats OF
on the stream. Bathing in the Gauges
washes off sin. and this is so from its
source, where the river flows out of the
toe of the god Vfshnu. high up in the
H;malayas, to where it empties at last

are especially holy. Two hundred thou

Is now filled with pilgrims. In some re-
spects the place makes me think Of a

bodies while saving their souls. 1t is in

on earth. The tomb of Confucius in
China, the birthplace of Mohammed at
Mecca and the Church of the Holy Sepul-

not half the worshipers. More than a
million pilgrims annually kneel at these

again measuring their journey by their

around the holy spots near the city, max

Everywhere L go l see Brahmin priests

funeral arrangements. The dowager en-
press was present, and took hand in
the discussion, putting forward her own
views of what should be done and Queen
Alexandra seemed disposed. as usual, to
agree with her. Finally the king inter-
posed:
Il shall be obliged if your majesty will
retire. he said. Il wish to talk to my
mother alone"
There was another display of the
kings determination to have his own way
on the train on which the royal party re-
turned from Windsor after King Ed

aside for the ladies of the party and an

and L will have them carried out" he
said.
Not a word relating to this incident has
been published here, but it was related
by member Of the kings suite who was
in attendance on the train.

no time in setting his court in order, and

The barber is now shaving him under

from the time Of the queen S grandmother

King George respects the manner in
which the Rothschilds have chung to the
faith of their fathers. To this day they
observe all the details Of the mosaic law
in the preparation Of their food, and they
never travel without taking with them
special cocks and kitchen equipment. At
the public banques which they attend
they never take anything more than a
little wine.
Lord Rcthschild himself is also likely
to be one Of the props On which the new
king will lean for advice and assistance.
although the difference in age between
the two men precludes anything like clos
comradeship.
In the domain of politics little is known
yet about the course which Will be
