I "Anything," said the mugger, shut
ting his left eye again "anything' is
possible that comes out of a lwat thrice
the size of Mugger-Ghaut My village
'is not a small one."
I There was a whistle overhead on
the bridge, and the Delhi mail slid
across, all the carriages gleaming with
light, and the shadows faithfully fol
lowing across tho river. It clanked
away into tho dark again; but the
mugger and the jackal were so well
used to it that they never turned their
heads.
"Is that anything less wonderful
than a boat thrice the size of Mugger
Ghaut?" asked tho bird, looking up.
I "I saw that built, child. Stono by
stone I saw the bridge piers rise, and
.when the men fell off (they were won
idrous sure-footed for tho most part
;but when they fell) I was ready. After
,the first pier was made they never
'thought to look down the stream for
the body to burn. There, again, I
saved much trouble. There was noth
ing strange in the building of the
bridge," said the mugger.
J1 "But that which goes across, pulling
the roofed carts! That is strange," tho
adjutant repeated.
1 "It is, past any doubt, a new breed
'of bullock. Some day it will not be
;able to keep its foothold up yonder,
and will fall as the men did. The old
'mugger will then be ready."
The jackal looked at the adjutant,
and the adjutant looked at the jackal.
(If there was one thing thoy were more
certain of than another, it was that
itho engino was everything in tho wide
world except a bullock. The jackal
had watched it time and again from
the aloe-hedges by the side of the
(line, and the adjutant had seen engines
since the first engine ran in India. But
the mugger had only looked up at the
jengine from below, where the brass
dome seemed rather like a bullock's
hump,
.' ''M yes, a new kind of bullock," the
mugger repeated ponderously, to make
himself quite sure in his own mind;
,nnd "Certainly it is a bullock," said the
jackal.
i . "And again it might be" began the
mugger, pettishly.
"SOT FIRED AT ME
,rCcrtainly most certainly," said tho
jackal, without waiting for the other
to finish.
"What?" said the mugger, angrily,
lor he could feel that the others kno-v
more than he did. "What might it be?
I never finished my words. You said it
was a bullock."
"It is anything tho Protector of the
Poor pleases, I am his servant nt
the servant of the thing that crosses
the river."
"Whatever It is, it is white faced
Work," said the adjutant "And, for
my own part, I would not choose a
place so near to it to lie out upon as this
bar is."
"You do not know tho English as I
fio," said the' mugger. "There was a
white-face here when the bridge was
built, and he vould take a boat in tho
evenings and shufilo with his feet on
the bottom-boards, and whisper: 'Is he
here? Is ho there? Get mo my gun.' I
could hear him before I could see him
. aeh sound that ho made creaking
and puffing and rattling his gun, up
end down the river. As surely as I hod
picked up one of his workmen, and
thus saved great expense in wood for
the burning,' so surely woulJio como
down to the ghaut and shorn in a loud
voice that he would hunt me, and rid
the river of me the mugger of Mugger-Ghaut!
Me! Children, I have
wam under the bottom of his boat for
hour after hour, and heard him fire his
gun at logs; and when I was well sure
he was wearied I have risen by his side
and snapped my jaws in his face When
Jne bridge was finished he went away.
All the English hunt in that fashion
except when they are hunted."
" Who hunts the white-faces?" said the
Jackal, excitedly.
"No one now, but I have hunted thorn
In my time."
"I remember a little of that hunting.'
I was young then," said the adjutant,
( olattcrlng his beak significantly.
"I was well established hero. My
Tillage was being builded for the third
time, as I remember, when my cousin
the gavlal brought me word of rich
waters above Benares. At first I would
not go, for my cousin, who is j fish
eater, does not always know tho good
from the bad; but I heard my people
talking in the evenings, and what they
said made me certain."
; "And what did they say?" the jackal
tslted. , , . ...... ..
"They said enough to make me, the
mugger of Muggcr-Ghuut, leave water
and tae to my feet. I went by night,
using the littlest streams as they served
mc; but it was the beginning of tho
hot weather and all streams were low.
I crossed dusty roads; I went through
tall grass; I climbed hills in tho moon
light. Even rocks did I climb, chil
drenconsider this well. I crossed
tho tail of Sirhind tho waterless, be
fore I could find the set of the littlo
rivers that flow Gunguward. I was a
month's journey from iny own people
and the river that I knew. That was
very marvelous!"
"What food by the way?" said the
jackal, who kept hia soul in his littlo
stomach, and was not a bit impressed
by the mugger's land travels.
"That which I could find cousin,"
said the mugger slowly, dragging each
word.
Now you do not call a man a cousin
in India unless you think vou can es
tablish some kind of blood relation
ship, and as it is only in old fairy tales
that the mugger ever marries a jackal,
the jackal knew for whut reason lie
had been suddenly lifted into the mug
ger's family circle. If they had been
alone ho would not have cared, but the
adjutant's eyes twinkled with mirth at
the ugly jest.
"Assuredly, father, I might have
known," said tho jackal. A mugger
does not care to bo called a father of
jackals, and tho niugger of Mugger
Ghaut said as much and a good deal
more which there is no uso in repeat
ing hero.
"The Protector of the Poor hasclaimed
kinship. How can I remember the pre
cise degree? Moreover, we at the
same food. Ho has said it," was tho
jackal's reply.
That mado matters rather worse, for
what the jackal hinted ot was that the
mugger must have eaten his food on
that land march fresh, and fresh every
day, instead of keeping it by him till
it was in a fit and proper condition, as
every belf-respecting mugger and most
wild beasts do when they can. Indeed,
one of tho worst terms of contempt
along the river bed is "cater cf fresh
meat." It in about as bad as calling a
friend a cannibal would be among
human beings.
"That food was eaten thirty Reasons
ago," said the adjutant quietly. "If
we talk fpr thirty seasons more it will
never como back. Tell us now what
happened when the good waters were
reached after thy most wonderful land
journey. If we listened to the howl
ing of every jackal the business of the
town would stop, as Che saying is."
The mugger must have been grate
ful for tho interruption, because he
went on with a rush:
"By the Right and Left of Gunga,
when I came there never did I see 6uch
waters."
WITH A BIIOItT GUN,"
' "Were they better, then, than tho
big flood of last season?" said the
jackal.
"Better! That flood was no more
than conies every five years a handful
of drowned strangers, somo chickens,
and a dead bullock in muddy water
with cross-currents. : But, the season I
think of, tho river was low, smooth
and even, and, as the gavial had warned
me, the dead English came down touch
ing each other. I got my girth in that
season, my girth and my degth. From
Agra, by Eta wall and the breed waters
by Allahabad "
"Oh, the eddy that set under the
walls of tho fort at Allahabad!" said
the adjutant "They camo in there
like widgeon to tho reeds, and round
and round they swung thud"
Ho went off into his horrible dance
again, while tli jackal looked on en
viously, llo naturally could not re
member tho yer of tho mutiny they
were talking about. The mugger con
tinued: "Yes by Allahabad, ono lay still in
tho slack water and let twenty go by
to pick one; and, above all, tho Eng
lish were not cumbered with jewelry
and nose rlng3 nnd anklets as my
women are nowadays. To delight in
ornaments is to end with a ropo for
necklace, us the saying is. All tho mug
gers of all tho rivers grcw 'fut then
but it was my fate to bo fatter than
them all. Tho news was that the Eng
lish were being hunted into the rivers,
and by the Right and Left of Gunga we
believed it was true. So far as I went
south I believed it to be true, and I
went down stream beyond Monghyr
and the tombs that look over the river."
"I know thut place," said tho ad
jutant "Since those days Monghyr is
a lost city. Very few live there now."
"Thereafter I worked upstream very
slowly and lazily, and a little above
Monghyr there como down a boatful of
white faces alivol They were, as I re
member, women, lying tinder a cloth
spread over sticks, and crying aloud.
There was novcr a gun fired at us
watchors of the fords in thoso days. All
the guns were busy elsewhero. Wo
coujd hear them day and night inland,
coming and going as tho wind shifted.
I rose up full before the boat, because
I had nover secir white faces alive,
though I knew them well otherwise.
Anokedwhito child kneeled by the
side of the boot, and, stooping over,
be muBt needs try to trail his hands
in tho river. It Is a protty thing
to seo how a child loves running water.
I had fed that day, but there was a lit
tle unfilled spaeo within mc. Still, it
was for sport and not for fxd that I
rose at the child's hands. They were
so clear a mark that I did not oven
look when 1 closed; and they were so
small that though my jaws rang true
I am sure of that tho child drew them
up swiftly unhurt. They must have
passed between tooth and tooth those
small white hands. I should have
caught him crosswino at tho elbows,
but, as I said. It was only for sport and
desire to sec new things that I rose at
all. They cried out one after another
in the boat, and presently I rose again
to watch them. The boat was too
heavy to. push over. They were only
women, but ho who trusts a woman
will walk on duckweed in a pool, as
the saying is; and by tho Hlght and
Left of Gunga that is truth!"
"Ouce a woman gave mo some dried
skin from a fish," said the lacltal. "I
had hoped to get her baby, but horse
food is better than the kick of a horse,
a3 the saying is. What did thy woman
do?"
"She fired at me with a short gun of a
kind I have never seen before or since,
l'ivo times, one after another" (tho
mugger must have met with an old
fashioned revolver); "and I stayed
open-mouthed and gaping, my head in
tho smoke. Never did I see such a
thing. Five times, as swiftly as I wavo
my tail thus!"
The jackal, who had been growing
more and more interested in the story,
had just time to leap back as the tail
swung by like a scythe.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
London, Nov. 1.
T. E. Ellin, M. P., Is In favor of he
establishment of a separate local gov
ernment board for Wales.
The funds granted by the state in 1,SC!)
for all forms of public education In
Wales amounted to less than $10,000;
now the grants to Wales reach nearly
$2,150,000.
Bryn Roberts, M. P., though an or
thodox Methodist of the old type, and a
deacon, Is a straight rider to hounds
an Inveterate chess player, and one of
the best billiard players in the house
of commons.
Letters are still extant which show
that the pon of the great Daniel Row
lands, of Llangeitho, was violently in
love wit hthe daughter of the revival
ist, Howel Harries, of Trefocoa,
Though their fathers were so intimate
ly associated in the Methodist revival,
young Rowlands complained that Miss
Hr.rrles would not smile upon his suit
Robert Davies, Bodlondeb, Menal
Bridge, is the richest nnd most eccen
tric man in North Wales. He Is the
brother of Richard Davies, lord-lieu
tenant, and for some M. P. for An
glesey. His hobby is surprising the
struggling English "causes" on the
North Wales coast by suddenly and
without any warning clearing off their
debts, which are never light, by the
way.
"Barmouth" supplies a curious in
stance of the way In which Ignorant
English touristsmutlla ted a Welsh name.
The Welsh name Is Abermawddy (cor
rupted, In popular slang. Into Bermo)
which means, being Interpreted, "the
mouth of the Mawllwy." Englishmen
concluded that Ber or Bar was the name
of the river, and "mo" was short for
mouth. Hence the curious nume of
"Barmouth."
Two Welshmen of the name of Rob
ert Williams have taken a llrBt-class In
the Honour School of Modern History
at Oxford. One Is Rev. Robert Will
lams, rector of Dolwyddelen, who has
contributed a chapter to Dr. Traill's
monumental book on "Social England."
The other is Rev. Robert Williams
professor of Welsh-history at St. David's
college, Lampeter, and a man who Is
likely to be heard of In the future.
The village of Penllwyn, near Aber
ystwyth, can boast of being the birth
place of more distinguished men than
any hamlet of the same size in Wales,
Dr. Edwards, of Bala; Ieuan Gwyllt,
his brothers, Robert and Isaac Roberts,
and Principal Prys, of Trefecca, are a
few of the great men It has turned out.
Dr. Cynddylan Jones and the eminent
Celtic scholar. Professor Rhys, Oxford,
were at one time pupil teachers at the
Village board school.
Town councils in Welsh Wales do no
seem to be an unmitigated success.
The Carmarthen town council. If we
may believe the local press, Is about
the most wretched municipality In the
kingdom. Some of the academical lights
of St. David's college give the palm to
the Lampeter town council for Invinci
ble Inertia, while the Aberystwyth folk
will have it that the solitary drawback
to the charms of the queen of Welsh
watering-places Is the unutterable stu
pldlty of the local council.
It may not be generaly known that
Lady Osborne Morgan is an accom
pllshed public speaker. At a Cyniru
Fydd meeting, which was recently'vheld
at Brymbo, North Wales, she drew
such a vivid picture of the old Welsh
chieftains setting out to the battlefield
amid the blessings and prayers of their
wives and daughters, and called upon
modern Welsh women to strengthen
the purpose of their sons, and hus'
bands, and brothers In lighting tho
same battle of nationalism, that tho
meeting became frantic with enthusl
asm.
In Dr. Thomas Charles EdwardB, of
Bala, are united two families which are
among the most Illustrious In Welsh
history. The "Thomas Charles" de
notes the descent from Thomas Charles,
of Bala, the founder of the Welsh Sun
day Bchools and the organizer of Welsh
Methodism. Tho "Edwards" he Inner
Its from his father, tho late Dr. Lewis
Edwards, of Bula, one of the few
WelBhmen.of whom a Scotch unlvers
Ity conferred an honorary degree. The
fame of the two families will not be
dimmed by the achievements of tho
author of the "Commentary on the
Epistle of the Corinthians," which has
excited such Intense admiration in
England and America.
That France is consumed with jeal
ousy ofv English greatness Is well
known; but it Is too bad that it should
try to rob "gallant little Wales" of the
credit of having produced the Arthur-
Ian legends. Borne envious French
critics have tried to prove that Arthur
and the Knights of the Round Table
are only a cheap and nasty imitation
of Charlemagne and his Paladins, and
that the famous iExcallbur 18 only
Welsh for Durandal... We shall next of
all be told that Hhys ap Thomas Is a
myth founded on the Btory of Du QueB'
clln, and that his horse, Llwydybacso
never had an independent existence.

Here are four dishes for invalids that
are recommended by the Philadelphia
Record as helpful and not tooexacting In
their demands upon weakened stom
achs:
Toast Water. Toast a slice of bread
very brown, break It Into pieces and
pour over them one cupful of boiling
water. When cool this will be found a
nourishing drink.
Ji.-liy Wilier. Put In a tumbler n t.v.-
spoonful of currant Jelly with ono table-
spoonful of wine. Mis them well to
gether and fill the giass with ioewater.
If the patient is fewili-h, the wl:io
Bhould be omitted.
Flaxseed Lemonade. Steep two
tablespoonfuls of flaxseed In one quart
of juice of throe lemons, a, large cupful
of wine, stirring together. This will be
found nn excellent drink for perrons
suffering with colds or lung troubles,
and may be drunk either hot or cold.
Beef ten. Two pounds of lean beef
chopped Into small bits and put Into a
glass fruit Jar In a kettle of cold water.
After boiling for two or three hours
the juice should be poured off and sea
soned to taste.
Rice for Invalids. Take a teaspoon-
ful of rice, n pint of milk; put them In
an open dish and bake In the oven for
two hours. Keep the dish covered for
the first hour, after whluli the cover
should be removed nnd the rice stirred
occasionally. Sweeten If preferred.
As a result of extended investigation,
Dr. Hillings writes out tho following
conclusions ns to the variations In the
death rates of the various races: 1. The
colored race is shorter lived than tho
white, and has a very high infantile
death rate; It Is specially liable to tu
berculosis and pneumonia, and less lia
ble than the white race to malarlu, yel
low fever nnd cancer. 2. The Irish race
has a rather low death rate among
its young children, but a very high one
among adults, due to a considerable
extent to tho effects of tuberculosis,
pneumonia and alcoholism. 3. The Ger
mans appear to be particularly liable
to disorders of the digestive organs and
to cancer. 4. Tho Jews have a low
death rate nnd a more than average
longevity; they are less affected by
alcoholism, but are especially liable to
diabetes, locomotar ataxy and certain
other diseases of the nervous system.
If a girl will take the trouble, says
the Philadelphia Record, to walk about
tho room on tip-toes for lightness of
step, balancing a book or sofa pillow
on her head for dignity, half an hour a.
day for a year, she will walk like tha
nobility the rest of her natural life. Two
things ore incompatible with grace of
locomotion heavy step and downcast
eyes. Step lightly, gentle woman.
Look up, little girl.
Each morning after the bath, r.tand
erect, feet together, shoulders back,
arms straight down, nnd take twenty-
live full, deep breaths. Better begin
with fifteen, the first week, then gradu
ally Increase until you can take fifty.
By that time the lungs will be stronger
and the rhest will begin to expand.
Then throw the shoulders firmly back
until the blades almost meet, take a
full, deep breath nnd make tho rotary
with the shoulder Joint that Is r.iade in
rowing and repeat this several times.
Then move the shoulders and arms
backwards in regular motions until the
elbows are only a few Inches apart.
Try these exercises only a few times at
first, then Increase until a hundred mo
tions or more may be taken without
fatigue.
Citric acid is said to exert a very de
structive Influence on the bacillus of
diphtheria. A weak solution, made by
adding a tahlespoonful of a 5 or 10 per
cent, solution to a glass of water, Is
recommended as a gargle In diphtheria.
Slices of lemon In the child's mouth or
lemonade are also said to be eflicacious.
Sleep as a prolonger of life is upheld
by a curious calculation which appeared
in a medical work on the digestive or
gans and faculties. The duration of
human life may be ascertained by the
pulsations of tho body. Say a man lives
to 70 years, his heart beating sixty to
the minute, the pulsations in that time
foot up to 2,207,520,000.' If, by Intemper
ance, or any other cause, he raises pul
sation to seventy-five a minute, tho
same number of pulsations would be
finished In fifty-six years. And as the
number of pulsations Is less In sleeping
than In a walking state, it stands to
reason that a long sleeper has much
better prospect of a long life than a
person who Is satisfied with Bhol t naps.

An Italian scientist, II. Montegnzzo,
hua written an essay upon the science
of wrinkles. He believes one's history
can be largely told by the lines upon the
face. Entering into a descrption of tho
different varieties nnd their meanings,
he says: "Horizontal Hues across the
forehead are found even In children
who are rickets or Idiots, nnd that being
out in the sun with the eyes unbhaded
will produce them prematurely, but they
are natural at 40 or earlier. Vertical
lines between the eyes denote thought
and study, since deep concentration
contracts tho eyebrows; grief and worry
produce the same effect, and, frequently
repeated, either leaves a permanent
fold in the Bkln. Arched wrinkles just
above the nose Indicate extreme suf
fering, either mental or physical. The
earliest wrinkles of all and the most
unavoidable are those which run from
either Bide of tho. nostril down to the
mouth, nnd these are produced by
smiling and even tho motion of the Jaws
in masticating a warning to gum-chew

At the nrst indication of croup or any
sort of cold, ellce raw onions, sprinkle
with granulated sugar, and let them
stand until the juice is extracted. This
proceis may be hastened by heatll'K
for.a few minutes. Pour oft the julco
unci rIvo a teaspoonful every honyur
this and apply It to the throat and
of tuner. If the case Is severe. j
Another euro for croup Is to rub the
throat and chest until they are red, with
a mixture consisting of half a teaspoon
ful each of camphor nnd turpentine and
a tahlespoonful each ot coal oil nnd
sweet oil. Wet a warm flannel with
this and apply It to the throat und
chest, watching carefully to remove It
when they are reddened. This outward
irritation tends to prevent croup.
Yet another home-made croup medi
cine Is composed of roasted onions,
mashed and laid on a folded napkin,
and goose oil, sweet oil, or even laid,
poured on them. This should be ap
plied as hot as it can be borne to the
throat and upper part of the cheat and
to the feet and hands. Another way of
preparing this malodorous hut effective
remedy is to slice and boll the onions
until almost dry, and then add the
grease and cook them in that until
brown.
People who have nervous prostration,
headaches, the blues or dyspepsia, who
take cold eai.ily, who are subject to
irritability, who lead sedentary lives,
who need their wits about them nil the
time, and who are not muklng the prog
ress they desire, should, writes one en
thusiast, get addicted to the cold bath
habit. It Is not only cleansing, but
curative, stimulating, encouraging and
invigorating. It is brain-brightening,
nerve soothing, blood quickening
und the best treatment ever taken for
the complexion, digestion and disposition.
