CS' fc « «--c H
MV STORY opens inLuckabad one
of iho largest and pleasant est
stations in India. Xot far from the
Cantonment church, r,nd to its soutli
s : de. stood a fair-shed, flat-roofed
bungaiow, generally known as the
"Warren." The name, however, was
applied to it in je>t only, for its official
was Xo. 4ft. Its occupant.*
were hos.i'table, good-ratsred young
bachelori. who "n ere continually "put
t'rg tip," or jiroviding shakedowns for
their numerous friends.
Ir. t he year I s --. one of the residents
of this bungalow was George I'ricc. a
y 'ing officer of*artillery. I'rice was
much given to athieties of all kinds,
and bad rigged up in one of the unused
rooms what mignt be considered a
;er . fair apology for a gymnasium.
There was a movable horizontal bar,
a set of parallel bars, trapeze and
rings, a-'.i, as I'rice always asserted
that the alpha beta of gymnastics
ought to be to making falling eas.\,
ni.d, if possible, even comfoi ta'r>!e and
luxurious, he had provided utt abun
dance of wadded rugs and elephant
pads for that purpose.
It was In the middle of the month of
May. The hot season was in full
*ui ?■, but it was comparatively early
in the day, and the heat, though great,
had uot as yet reached its maximum.
Three young fellows were disporting
t .••mselves in the eyinnasium.
P-rched on the horizontai bar. sitting
with his shoulders square, end both
his legs daub ing on one bide, was Ar
thur Venn, a captain the Total
I'rancers. The bar was seven feet
from the ground, and Price was of
ficiating as instructor. Evidently
some feat wasalvou' to tie performed.
The third incli- ' .a! had made him
self ,is comf.>rtab!« as circumstances
would permit or. the parallel bars, and
was watching the other two, with an
Bmu«**d smile on his face. This was
Ci .pt. Francis Sackville, C 4 years of
age, in the iar ? regiment as Venn, ami
one of the handsomest and most popu
lar men iu the station. Price was hold
ing forth.
"Now, Venn, what, you've got to do
1% this; Fold your ms across your
chest and let your bo.ij swlny quickly
backward, keepir.g the knees well
crooked. The effect of this cafcli will
be to send your head and slio .ne's
pendulum-wise, up against the other
si<le, then flip the knees from the bar,
and you'll come to the ground rn your
legs us light as a feather."
"Say 'like a bird I' " suggested Sack
ville, persuasively. "You see, u f"sther
has no legs to speak of. More, ver, it
isa vaeiliating, undecided sort, of thing,
which, I take it, doesn't, pay in this
business."
"I've heard all this before," re
marked Venn, sitting stolidly on the
bar, apparently without the least in
tention of carr}lng out the instruc
tions giveu him.
'Of course—of course!" said Pric<*
taking no notice of SacJrviile. "The

"Gome, confess, Venn, you had Price's

"Poufi I don't count natives as any

At this moment the servant in ques
tion came into the room, with a letter
la his hand, and, making a lowsalaam,
he handed it to Sackville.
"Chitt-he-cs.pta.in, saliib ke waste"
("Letter for his honor, the cajitnin").
Haekvilie tore the note, read
rapidly for a st«cond or two, und then
uttered a quiet "Hurrah!"
"What's up?" Inquired Venn.
"Well, about a fortnight ago, Jeffrey
and I were dining with Col. Burrows,
the deputy commissioner. After din

and tiger shooting. Burrows told me

Of course this shot, so unerring and
opportune, came from Jeffrey's rifle.
Hearing Sackville stumble and fnll,
the latter's mind misgave him. He
quickly st- vped down into the ravine

l)r. George G. Grofl, president ol the
i'ennsylTnnia lizard of hcalta, has piib
iUjed a paper on "Hygiene forthcSol
|tr." iu which he says that 32,534
Spanish soldiers died in Cuba in 1597.
li. the same jear 30.CG0 Spanish ool
d>rs were invalided liiere. His sta
tistical tab'.e states further that I,oou
s- V.iers were killed in the Traico-Ger
uiar. war aiid Jl',ooo soldiers died in the
same war from disease. Nice hundred
soldiers died in one year in a single
regiment in a campaign in Madagascar,
and it is not an uncommon thing to
have 300 men die out of one British
regiment in the West Indies, "ln ft>r
ir.e. years." he says, "five years was the
full life of a British regiment lr. the
West India serMee."
On the subject of tobacco and alcohol
he says to the soldier:
• lucse drugs are used to ex
tent :u armies, and often to excess and
to the injury of the soldier*.
"Do not smoke or chew excessively.
"Do not use aicohol (or liquors) ex
cept on the surgeon's order. Ir. the
tropics, especially, avoid alcohol in all
its forms, as it causes more harm there
than in cold and temperate climates.
It is now well known from ample ex
perience, that soidlers have the best
health who leave alcohol in all itsftirins
sevtre.y alone. Strong liquors in the
tropica is death to the soldier."
Uuder the head of "Things to Avoid"
Dr. Groff says:
"The soldier should strive to avoid
discontent, despondency, laziness, dis
respect, unchastity, drunkenness and
debauchery. These are not uncommon
in armies, and they all lead to the de
struction of sound and vigorous health.
These things destroy armies more than
the bulled of the enemy. Dr. Park*,
the great British authority on hvg-iene.
says: 'To make an ami) perfectly
brave, it must be made temperate and
chu c ie.'"
The soldier is urged to cultivate
cheerfulness.
"Good health is promoted by cheer
fulness. Cheerfulucss is often better
than medicine. It Is a virtue which
c.in be cultivated, as can also ready
obedience, hopefulness, contentedness,
patience, fortitude, endurance, temper
aucc, Eclf-confldence, self-reliance,
chastity and coarageousness. These
are all virtues, and, when possessed,
they go to inakfc the highest type of
soldier. They all promote good
health."
Dr. OrofT is not one of those, who be
lieves that a change to a strange cli
mate will give rise to disease, and on
that point says:
"It 1s not. a strunge climate v»hlch
can see disease among soldiers. The
body soon adapts itself to changes of
temperature. The greater number of
diseases are produced by germs or seeds
whloh exist In the earth and water at
some places, but not at others. These
T-.-_ .jki' within the tropics, but in
certain towns and cities. These germs
do not generally float in the air, and
so enter the body, but become attached
to food and drink, and eo enter the
system. If one Is careful always to
drink boiled or spring water, and to eat
well-cooked fodds, or, in case of fruit*,
to remove the rind, there is little dan
ger of live germs getting into the body,
fur the reuson that the heat of cooking
kills them.
"Camps are situated in the moat
healthy places which can be secured.
The soldier who remains with his fel
li;«» und eats what is provided for
him is generally safv frotii disease.
But when ha «:mdtn frasn oamp, as
sociates with people of unknown t.r.b
its, drinks water and ents food of which
he knows nothing, he runs great risks
of contracting any disease which may
be prevalent.
"Alcohol does not prevent disease,
but pother weakens the body, malting'it
difficult to resist disease
"The average soldier does not find
opportunity to wander from camp and
associate with people outside. Nor Is
it i* r «M*y matte* for jrtfldlers on the
marc i. in temporary cii«np or In active
Held duty to procure 'boiled or spring
water' and '«vell-cooked food.' All
these things may be had in state camp,

will probably be looked for in vain."—

The Difficulties of Railway Travel

remarkable for the engineering skill
shown in its construction, and for its
prosperity. It makes an asccut of 3,500
feet by a succession of loops end curves,
wiyi here und there a runnel. The
chief dlfiiculty in running the railroad
is duo to the way in which the rain
a irrrrr itnvmTTTTur Ktupire," describes
what the rain did to a train crawling
up the mountaluside.
On December 37, 1890, llty Inches of
rain fell in M hours. The .-ngineer of
a train saw that beyond a certain tun
nel the line was washed away. He
stopped the train, and the jmsengera
got out. One of them seeing stones
rolling down the mountainside above
them, advised the engineer to push for
tho tunnel.
Just as the train entered thp tunnel,
down came a huge mans of rock, which
carried away the embankment, as well
as tie lust car of the train —a goods
van, io'tuiuitely. Close l>ehind the tun
nel the ends of the rail were hanging
free over u precipice, and a similar con
dition existed not far ahead.
A inesenger came down from a plant
er's bungalow nbove the tunnel to say
that water was accumulating In thfc
cutting in front, and that K it broke
through the debris which served as 1 *
dam. It would wash the train out of the
tunnel. The passengers hastened to
lenve the cars, and in walking through
thfc water In the cutting found it uf> to
