ia the cars. Why did we ro third clash?
Being poor missionaries we went th'rd
becanse there was no fourth. The
railroad being "Enplisb, yon know,"
the cars are very different from onr
American coaches.
The firs-t, second and third clan are
alike In their treneral make-np, differ
ing merely in the style of upholstery.
The cars are divided into compartments,
each one supposed to accommodate ten
persons.
Entering onr eompttrtment, we bade
farewell to the only ".lobn" of the
party, lie entering the adjoining divis
ion. The boll sounded, the guard
appeared, the key turned, and we were
locked in for the niht.
Mow, this English system of locking
nay have its advantages, but we
Americans oftimcs fail to see them.
The great disadvantage and iricon
vanience arises from the fact that there
are no sanitary arrangem nta whatever,
and no means of procuring even a drink
of water. AVe had taken th: precaution,
however, to Cll onr "serais" with water
before leaving Bombay, and as our
tiffin (lunch) banket were bountifully
supplied, in respect to food and drink,
we were comfortably provided for.
As the iron horno leisurely took itsell
ami us across the field, we noted
that they tvere "tvl.ite for the harvest."
The gorgeotis-liuel flowers were very
plentiful, the trees richly green and

Bnt we soon learned that what is out

Being weary, we early prepared lor

there was a ln-ueli apiece, that is, by

above us during the day. Being longer
than the seats in an American coach,
each bench made a fairly comfortable

We spread onr sea rngs and pillows
tipon them and tnen nnpnoked our
blankets and comfort il le, for we wore
told that it would become intensely
cold before morning.
Two of our party, who. while on sldp

but the re;-t of ns hlept soundly and
arose bright ami etrly in the morning
to catch the lirt view of the Vindhja

their own piculiir characteristics,
being more bold mid rocky than the

Soon the coolie tronglit hot water,

There seemed mu:!i a contrast be
tween the beautiful flowering vines
which covered the verandas of the sta

native as to cause us to bo heart sick.
Surely, we thought, it ia true that
here "only mnu is vile." We buy
some beautiiul vaes and native

It Herd of Wild BaOhlo.
Hunters in Colorado are bent upon
the extirction of the last herd of
buffalo that inhabit the parks high
In the Rocky mountains. There
were only about twenty-five of the
animals, and thirteen of these are be
lieved to have leen killed. Officers
are hunting the hunters now and,
catching them, will endeavor to bull
the actual price of buffalo skins to a
pdnt absolutely beyond precedent.
It is hoped by the San Francisco Ex
aminer that their quest may be suc
cessful. Indeed, news that the mon
arch of the fleeing bison had turned
upf'D his foes and horned a few of
them Into penitence or Into the
hereafter would fail to create a wav
of sorrow.
1 There Is something little short ot
! athos In the way the buffalo have
Oecn effaced. But a few years ago,
roaming in countless thousands, they
were killed for the lust of slaughter,
for mere wantonness. Xow so scant a
remnant survives that at one time it
was ixdicvcd not a solitary individual
' remained, belonging to the plino,
t the buffalo was forced by this cruelty
I and greed of civilized man to seek
! other pastures. Such as did not
' whiten with their bones the old
grazing grounds wandered away from
their natural environment to the
fastnesses of the mountains, far from
all the haunts of human kind. There
trrey have lived precariously, but It
seems they are not allowed to exist
even in exile. Man, who preaches
gentleness and practices brutality,
intends to chase them higher than
the timber line, to escape the bullet
only to die of starvation.
On behalf of the buffalo, now al
jnost tradition, it is proper that the
persons who are trailing the final
representatives of the race through
the canyons of Colorado should be de
nounce I, not alone as mercenary and
unworthy sportsmen, but contempt
ible vandals.

Duel Spoiled by a Big Do.
Two professional men of Milan,
Italy, who had repaired to a frontier
village to tight a duel, were prevented
from doing so by an enormous St.
Bernard dog which appeared on the
scene just as the would be duelists
were taking their places. Several at
tempts to bein operations were
made, but the dog interfered each
time. Finally the ridiculousness of
the situation dawned upn the prin
cipals, and they shook hands and re
turned to Milan togither. Kew York

WOMEI IS TBT, GARDES.
"Why not?" asks E. M. L. in the
Horticultural Timet. "1 have at least
three personal acquaintances who owe
mnch to old Dame Nature for renewed
youth and beauty of face and form
gained by work in the garden. One is
a lady of ample fortune, who loves her
lawn, with its trees and vines and flow
era as things of beauty. I doubt if the
thought of health occurs to her, bat
the eflect is patent to all her friends.
Another is a lovely little woman who
has been in ill health for years. This
season, moving to a new home where
friends and acquaiotances were soarce,
sheer loneliness drove her to her gar
en. Tbere the needs of the growing
things appealed to her, and day by day
her visits were repeated, until at lasi
all Ler morning hoars were spent
among them, planting, training, weed
ing, thinning and digging. The result
is the renewal of health and strength
unknown before for years, and new
happiness and greater contentment.
The third is a good woman whose sor
rows seemed piled monntain high
through the loss by dearth within a few
months of her hnBband and obild, and
of property as well. Trained to no
work as a girl, she seemed helpless.
But her little garden demanded atten
tion, and her very losses compelled
her to work with her hands. Here,
too, tbe soothing balm of pure air,
exercise and . occupation worked its
marvels in recovered health, content
ment and a spirit of self helpfulness."

A grocer would not pay a farmer the price of a ten

Why should a farmer pay a grocer the price of. the

The Royal Baking Powder is proven by actual tests
to be 27 per cent stronger than any other brand on the
market Better not buy the others, for they mosdy
contain alum, lime and sulphuric acid; but if they are

he pa r were walking through the
penilentiary on a sort of inspection
tour Prisoners were then permitted
to approach the Governor in person
and plead with him for executive
clemency. As the offlcrals passed
through the corridors Stewart asked
one after another of the convicts
about his case.
"I am here," said one. "for a mur
der that I never committed."
"And I'm in," said another, 'Tof

se of self-defense."
"Im innocent, too, Governor,
said another. "I never stole a thing
In my life."
Gov. Stewart asked hundreds ol
luestions, but every convict declared
bis innocence and begged for pardon.
At length, just before leaving the
prison, the Executive met a you n&
fellow carrying a load of some sort of
prison product Tbe convict saluted
respectfully and was passing on, when
the Governor stopped him.
"What are you here for?" he asked.
"For stealing horses, Four Excel

"ButHf course you are innocent?"
Governor went on, winking at
Gen. Knott.
"Of course I'm nothin' of the sort,"

I've got three years to do yet."
"Well," said Gov. Stewart, "you

sorry that it will be necessary for
you, a guilty, baa man, to remain
