It was said that during the prosper
ous times of the rortuguese in India
you could not have seen a plot of Iron
lu any niorvbanfs house, hut all pold
nud silver. They coined immense quan
tities of the precious metals and used
to make pieces of workmanship In
them, for exportation. The very sol
diers enriched themselves ly com
merce. Hut then nt last came the Inquisition,
which celebrated its terrible and deadly
riles with more fervor anil vehemence
at lion than In any other place. Kell
plous perseoitlon, pestilence anil wars
Willi the I hitch, disturbances arisinp
from au unsettled government, and.
above all, the slow but sure workings
of the shortsighted policy of the Portu
guese in Intermarrying' and Identifying
themselves with the Hindoos of the
lowest caste, made her fall as rapid as
her rise was sudden and prodigious.
In less than a century and a half aft
er Da (lama had landed on the Indian
shore the splendor of (Jon had departed
forever. The Inhabitants lied before
thi! deadly fever which soon fastened
upon the devoted precincts of the city,
and In 17."S the viceroy transferred his
headquarters from the ancient capital
to l'arjlna. about eight miles distant.
Soou afterward the religious orders
were expelled, leaving their magnitl-ci-nt
convents and churches all but ut
terly deserted, and the Inquisition wns
suppressed upon the rei-ommenilation
of the Hiitlsli government.
The place is now n grass grown wil
derness. Hut still the lli-iii and well
built causeways of this olden city nnd
Its ii'.oldering splendors are reminiscent
of echoing pageants and the tramp of
armies which once sounded there. As
we tread the ancient wharf, a long,
broad road, lined with n double row of
trees and faced with stone, a more sug
gestive scene .f desolation can hardly
be conceived. Everything around teems
with melancholy associations, the very
rustlings of the trees and murmur of
the waves sound like a dirge for the de
parted grandeur of a city.
Towering above a mass of ruins a
solitary gateway Hanks the entrance
to the Strada Diretta, the Straight
striH't, so called because ulinost all the
striM-ts In old Con are laid out In cur
vilinear form. It was through this
portal surmounted by the ilgures of
St. Catherine and Ynsco da Caina that
the newly appointed viceroys of Con
passed in triumphal procession to the
palace.
Iteyond the gate a level road, once a
populous thoroughfare, leads to the
Terra !i Sabaio, a large square front
ing the rriniaeial, or Cathedral of St.
Catherine, who became the patron
saint of (Jon when the place was cap
tared bv Albuquerque on the day of
her festival. C roves of cocoanut palms
nnd mango toies now Incumber the
ground once covered by troops of horse.
The wealth, the busy life and the lux
ury of the old place are dead. Kites
and cobras Infest the crumbling halls
which once resounded with the ban
quet nnd the dance, nnd naught but n
few old monks nnd nuns keeps vigil
amid Its desolation today. I
Hut Goa possesses one treasure of
great Interest. This Is the tomb of
l'rancls Xavler. the great Jesuit mis
sionary to the east. It Is to lie found in
the Church of Hon Jesus. It Is 11 mas
terpiece of art which Is lost to all but
the casual visitors to old Goa. Some
have ventured to suggest that no other
mausoleum in India or even in Asia ex
cept the Taj Mahal can equal it. It is
built of rich marble of variegated col
ors. The lowest stage Is of red nnd
purple Jasper nnd Carrara alabaster
adorned with statuettes and cherubs
The middle stage Is of green and yellow
J.tsier decorated with beautiful bronze
plates representing incidents In the life
of the saint. The highest of the three
stages Is surrounded by a lovely rail
ing of red jasper marked with white
spots, the adornments being Ilgures of
nngels. while Its middle portion Is
graced with columns elegantly carved,
whose intervening spaces are surmount
ed by arches showing further Ineidents
in the life of the saint. The friezes ol
the four lateral columns are of black
Stone and the plinths of yellow jasper.
&uruiou!itiiig this last stage lies the
colliu overlaid with silver, a gorgeouf
receptacle embellished with many ex
quisite specimens of relief work.
Lumps of silver depending around com
plete the adornment of the shrine. It
is a worthy relic of Gou's departed glo
ry. The bell of the Augustinian convent
still rings forth its vesper peal uliovt
this old city of ghosts, and It is impos
sible to forget the effect of the deep
mournful notes as they strike upon tin
ear. Never was heard n more beautiful
or more sadly musical summons thnn
that which calls in vain from the towel
ef the Augustinlans to the forsaken and
solitary city.
It is all summed up in the eloquent
apostrophe of Shcrer: "Con the golder
exists no more; Goa, where the aged
Ia C.-iinn closed his glorious life; Con
where the immortal Cnmoens sang anil

grassy tomb, nnd it seems as if Its thlr.

quietus for Its departed souls." St

Mary Ann was a solid and health?
native of r.!;NO Eduard lsi;:iul. Al
the age of twenty she had entered tin
kitchen of a Koston family, and therr
ghe had reigned for fifteen jiirs.
Every year she was left in chai;.e ct
the city house for the three snnr.-.'.ei
tionths! while the family were at tl;f
mountains, and during the rest of the
ear she directed the domestic affairs
of the household in a fnm and tranquil
way.
When the family returned in the fif
teenth autumn of Mary Ann's reign,
she announced her Intention to marry
Within a month.
"I've Ikvu knocking alwut the world
for this last fifteen years." said Mary
Ann. "and it's time I settled down, if
ever I mean to do it."
"It doesn't seem to me as If you had
knocked about much," said her mis
tress, with mild resentment, "hut I'm

A Curlonn Custom.
One of the many curious customs
which mark the visits of Judges to pro
vincial assizes of England is that ob
served at Newcastle-oii-Tyne.
The mayor always makes the follow
ing speech to the Judges on circuit:
"My lords, we have to congratulate
you upon having completed your la
bors in (his ancient town and have
also to inform you that you travel
hence to Carlisle through border coun
try much and often Infested by the
Scots. We therefore present each of
your lordships with n piece of money
to buy therewith a dagger to defend
yourselves."
Then the mayor produces two ancient
toins, a jacobus and a earolus. The
former he presents to the senior and
the latter to the Junior Judge. Appar
ently It Is Intended that the senior
Judge shall purchase a dagger twice
the size of that purchased by the Junior
Judge.
Affection ef Seal.
Natural alTietion or seals in their wild
state is well shown i:i the following an
ecdote: A genth man living in Oregon,
on the ocean shore, one day caught In n
very simple manner a young seal. It
had been stranded on the plank wharf
by a receding tide and left high and
uncomfortably dry as well. It had not
strength to waddle Into the water and
no one to teach It the tricks of its tribe.
The gentleman kept the little glossy
cntituie for several days ami then In
pity turned it Into its native element,
it came to the wharf every night and
whimnered so that he was obliged to
take It out again and keep it in a small
tank, the seal giving every demonstra
tion of affection, after the manner of n
young dog.

When I nilirrllun Were Heavy.
The great objection to umbrellas 100
years ngo was their weight, nnd when
it is stated as n matter of fact that the
very smallest umbrella then weighed
no less than three and a half pounds it
will probably be admitted that the ob
jection was a justifiable one.
Instead of the thin rainproof fabrics
which now form the covering of um
brellas nothing better was knowu than
leather or otlcloui. The ribs were of
wood or whalebone, nnd such n thing ns
a steel rod was, of course, unknown.
The stick was usually of heavy oak. in
those days, too, many umbrellas had

over the top, en the theory of "shed
ding water off a duck s back." nut the

standing the feathers, were npt to lenk.

cause It Is so easily moved and can be

A Jot Ilraat.
In the days when the late nrchblshop
of Canterbury, Dr. Frederick Temple,
was master of Itugby he sentenced to
expulsion a boy who was Innocent of
the offense charged against htm, but
who could not clear himself without
exposing the renl offender. The. lad
made up his mind to benr the punish
ment nnd wrote to his father saying
that he was sure his family would rath
er have him expelled than know him to
be a sneak.
The father promptly sent the letter to
Dr. Temple, calling attention to a post
script In which tL loy said he wished
the doctor could understand the matter
and hdded, "Temple Is a benst, but he
is a Just beast."
It is on record that Temple did under
stand, and the boy was not expelled.
Dr. Temple, grim old man that he wns,
was always proud of the title "a just
beast."
A Choklna- Doff.
Dogs frequently choke. A bone, a
nail or a piece of tin gets In the
throat, and there is great danger of
death before the arrival of the surgeon.
Many of thein do die, but there is no
reason for this, for it is easy, without
the slightest danger of getting bitten,
to put the hand in the mouth of a dog
and to draw out or push down the ob
struction that Is choking It. A bandage
a handkerchief or towel will do is
passed between the teeth nnd over the
upper jaw, and In n similar way anoth
er bandage is passed between the teeth
nnd over the under jaw. One person.
holding the ends of these two band
ages, keeps the dog's mouth wide open,
A second person cau then with perfect
ease and safety put his fingers down

Water Birds.
Water birds, singular as It seems, are
the only ones whose skins never by any
chance get touched by water. So long
as they are nlivc nnd long after they
are dead they float with nn nlr cham
ber nil round their bodies, cunningly
contrived of waterproof feathers close
ly overlapping each other. Thus, In a
sense, water birds may be distinguish
ed from nil others by the fact that they
never wnsh, though we enn hardly
blame them for that, because if water
could penetrate between their feathers
the poor things would never be dry.

tot only to them, but also to the stomach,
heart, blood and other organs of the
body. Barom cures are permanent.
When the liver is torpid or inactive the
whole system must sutler, undergoing a
process of slow poisoning ; the stomach
is filled with carbonic acid gas, inflaming
the mucous membrane or coating of the
stomach, causing heartburn, palpitation
indigestion, bitter taste on rising, a dull
neavy sluggish feeling, a desire to sleep,
fullness and dizzy-headedness. Thomii
sou's BaroMii.i is an excellent stomach
tonic, assimilating with the food,
neutralizing the acids and carrying the
bile from the liver. If the bowels arc
costive or in liver trouble, Thompson's
Dandelion and Mandrake Pills should le
used with the Barosma. They are purely
vegetable, and will not gripe.
