Black Hole of Calcutta.

The innate corruption and depravity
Of human nature were perhaps never
more clearly brought out than in the
historic Black Hole of Calcutta. That
atrocity stands unrivaled as an in.
lance of the utmost suffering human
lty can endure, passed through by a
large number, yet leaving a few sur.
vlvors to tell the tale. Many more
have been slain or executed at one
time, death being expected; but,
probably only safe keeping of the pris-
oners was intended, and only fear of
breaking a despot's sleep prevented
their earlier release. Yet this torture,
unequaled in history or fiction,
whose record cannot be read unmoved
after the lapse of hundred and fifty
years, was produced merely by crowd
ing men together in an ill ventilated
room. No fires, racks, nor scourges
were needed; all that was done or re-
CURED to be done was to take from
each the amount of air and space to
which he was accustomed, crush him
INTO close proximity with his fellows,
and the thing was accomplished
from "A Farmers Note Book" by G.
., D. Phelps.

REToRT SHOULD HAVE sTUNG
Magazine Writer, His Suit Rejected,
Delivers Himself of Most un-
gallant Speech.

Your aristocratic American million
aire will often make a mesalliance,
and marry chorus girl or parIor
maid. But / notice that your aristo-
cratic American millionairess, al
ways keeping her head. makes good
match
The speaker was Nine. Montessori,
the Italian educationalist. She con-
tinued:
"On my way hither on the boat
there was a beautiful American heir
ess to whom a young magazine writer
from the west paid assiduous court
But he, on account of the low rates
of the magazine, was as poor as a
church mouse, and so the heiress
would not consider him seriously.
AS they leaned side by side over
the rail one afternoon, the heiress,
looking over the rolling waters, sigh
ed and said:
4 love the sea-
The impoverished and embittered
magazine writer retorted with a
sneer:
II don't see why. 1t hasn't got
any money"

There are some quite remarkable

Some persons would not believe that

well worth recording.

allowed for the purpose IN the current
year, although 1t is $4,000 less than the
amount asked for by the Secretary Of
War in his annual estimates. The mill
tary bill provides for an appropriation
OF HG.lH.5ss. as compared with f10l,-
