"India Is a strange country, I fun ry," remarked an American to a Brit ish officer in a London military club. "You would think ho it' you spent ail much time there as I have." "I have heard that the Indians' knowledge of poisons would make the Borgia* appear ignoramuses on the j subject." The Britisher shuddered. The other, •eelng that he was affected by some re membrance connected <vith poisons, after an effort persuaded him to tell it. "Yes, It is a story of poison, a story the main feature of which I would uot believe until I had l>een Invalided home and k>oked it up lu the London medical journals. Then, and uot till then, was 1 convinced. ' I was stationed in one of the inte rior Indian |>osts where there was a reigning prince who kept his jiosltlon by chicanery and where the priests maintained their ascendency by the same means. We had a little ensign named Adams with us, a pretty, black eyed boy who was brimful of deviltry. One day the prince sent our colonel an Invitation for the officers to come up to his palace und have afternoon tea. We all went, and after 'tea,' during which some of us drank more wine than tea, Adams especially, we were taken Into the private apartments where the wo men were kept and suffered to mingle with them <julte freely, considering wo were in India and the home of an In dian magnate. When we Rot back to our quarters Adams con tided to mo that he had had an impromptu affair with a young Indian girl; that he had seized ati opjiortunlty when unobserved to lead her Into an apartment tilled with tropical plants and, concealed by the enormous leaves of one of them, had kissed her. Just as they were leaving the apartment they heard a rustle behind them, anil the girl had turned ghastly pale. In another min ute they had separated. This was all there was of It; not very much, one would think, to worry about, but Ad ams was much troubled, and 1 confess 1 didn't like the proceeding myself. "'You are in no danger,' I said con solingly. 'No Indian will be allowed to take revenge on a British officer.' " It Is for the girl I fear,' he said lugubriously. '"lf you arc discovered and the mat ter Is reported to the prince I think he will show his malignity by his fu ture bearing toward us. Indeed he may bring the matter before the colo nel.' "'We shall see,' said Adams. 'Keep dark. You're the on y man I've told.' "No "Message came from the prince. Indeed on a return visit he made to our quarters by invitation of the colonel he bore himseif with v' r,, at friendliness. Seeing Adams puss, he remarked ad miringly upon his attractive appear ance, as every one did. and asked to have him especially presented. He chatted so affably with the youngster that Adams felt sure he had had no In timation of the meeting in the con servatory. 1 saw them talking to gether. and it seemed to me that the wily Indian was looking down on Adams with a singular expression—an expression I did not exactly like. "However, that seemed to end the matter, and I gradually forgot It Adams heard that the was In her usual condition in the palace and ceased to worry about her. Then, when we changed stations, ail suspicion that Adams would have to suffer for his Indiscretion was removed. He was as ready for another affair as before, and only an opportunity was wanting. "On arriving at our new station the native ruler of the province enter tained us at his palace. I feared that Adams might get into another scrape, so I kept an eye ou him. I tried to get him to promise me that he would not, and especially that he wouldn't drink any wine, for wine made his tneautlon absolute recklessness. Hp would promise nothing, and I knew that there was such a fascination for him In danger that I resolved to watch him all the closer. I never let him out of my sight till a servant came to me and told me the host wished especially that I should l>e presented to him. I left Adams In an apartment opening into a dimly lighted garden, begging him to remain where he was till I re turned. This he promised to do. I was presented to the host, who de tained me some time asking questions about our artillery service, in which ho appeared to be much Interested. A* soon as I could get away from him I returned to the room where I had left Adams. He was not there. Ltsiklng Into the garden I saw a patch of uni form among the plants and followed the man who wore it. Just before I reached him I saw that he was Adams. He was leaning over a richly dressed Indian girl. I hastened on, but be fore I could Join them Adams turned and their lips met In a kiss. "I stood as if petrified. if they were watched it would be too late for me to save them. Adams seemed uot In clined to take his Hps away. Presently he sank slowly to the floor. I rushed op to him. He was dead." The narrator paused aud took a long sip from a glass of brandy and soda. Then he finished his story: "There was a sensation when I hur ried to the colonel and reported what I had seen. We took the body to quar ters, and the surgeon placed a piece of paper <llpp«-d In some chemical agent on the Hps and reported that Adams had been poisoned. "Now comes w hat you will not be lieve The glri who kissed Adams was a poison girl, f»-«l on a certain poison from birth till she was saturated with It. She was In the service of ths prince whom Adams had offended " HUBERT F FORBES. Jrllrriinii «• nn Inventor. Not many people know that Thomas Jefferson was a great Inventor.

Ciiuucii Chamber Sept. 3rd, ItMKI, A DELIGHTFUL SUMMER OUTINfi The Steamer "Cape May" Carries Thousands to the Ocean —Cool Cape Hay Attracts I hose Who Want to Enjoy a Delightful 200-Mile Sail Down the Delaware River and Hay—Points of Interest Along the Route. "Off to Cool Cape May!" That's th« hot-weather cry of thousands who every Hummer take a day off and aboard the magnificent and commodious excursion Steamer "Cape May" journey down (he historic Delaware River and Kay to the Grand At lantic. where they disport themselves for several hours in the billows that roll upon the finest beach in the world, or they divide the time inspecting various places of interest before the Steamer starts homeward. This trip to Cape May has become famous. The Steamer "Cape May' is the only steamer out of Philadelphia that makes daily trips to the ocean, returning early each evening. The "Cape May ' is a luxuriously appointed boat The owners have provided for every comfort and convenience of the passengers. There are steamer chairs and comfortable couches on the main deck, and a number of staterooms for those who want to enjoy com fortable repose during periods of the trip The officers and attaches aro thoroughly experienced and seek to give the passengers all attention to as sure a pleasant trip, free from any annoyance whatever. No disorder is permitted on the steamer. Ladies unattended and ( hit dren are especially looked after, so that they may feel assured of a de lightful outing. How the little ones enjoy these trips to Cape May! They never for get it. The roomy decks form one vast play ground. Then there are games and innocent amusements especially provided for them. There is an excellent orchestra aboard, and at times during the day and evening the young people gather on the main deck aft and enjoy a lively waltz or two step, while their,elders look on and recall the days when they were younrj and enjoyed the merry dance. On Sundays sacred concerts are given by the orchestra. A FLOATING HOTEL. The Steamer "Cape May" is really a modern hotel afloat. The appoint ments already referred to are equal to those of the first-class hotels. F'ut the "Cape May," like best hotels ashore, provides sumptuously for the in ner man." The palatial dining room below decks is provided with a num ber of small tables presided over by competent waiters The Steward and caterers in charge know their business, as all attest who have partaken of an appetizing breakfast served as the steamer starts on the trip, or a full course dinner served from 11.10 A. M.to 1 P. M. The suppers, especially the fish suppers, on the return trip are famous. Then, UKI, there are lunch counters at convenient places oa the boat; also, oyster bars and ice cream parlors. Only the best of edibles and delicacies are served at very mod erate cost To feed the "Cape May's" passengers requires supplies of meats, fruits, vegetables, fish and oysters in immense quantities. Often there are 2500 people aboard—and the stirring breezes and invigorating salt air certainly are appetite producers. The supplies for the dining room and lunch count ers are taken aboard each morning and the perishable fruits and provisions are stored in mammoth refrigerators in order that they may be served in the very best condition. New Jersey and Pennsylvania farms and dairies furnish the very best fruits and vegetables and purest and richest milk and cream. Cape May oyster beds are drawn on Tor finest oysters. In summer time, the Cape May Baits are the epicurean's delight. Fish, fresh daily from the ocean, are taken aboard at the Cape May Steamboat Landing. Few people stop to consider the immense quantities of supplies, involv ing a large expenditure of money, that are required to feed such a great throng of people as patronize the "Cape May" day after day. No city hotel feeds so many people in a single day. DOWN THE RIVER AND BAY. The "Cape May" covers 200 miles every day. The course is 4own the Delaware River and Bay, along which are many points of interest, not to mention e; pecially the interesting display of vessels, from every quarter of the globe, at anchor or under way up and down the river.

Wilmington, New Castle, long famed for its whipping post; Fort Mott. Fort Delaware, Iteedy Island, the Government Quarantine Station; Ship John Light, Cross Ledge I.ight. and the great jetties under construction by the \7. S. Government. At Cape May Landing there Is a large excursion house where passengers may enjoy entertainment and re freshment. Or the trolley cars may be taken for a ride along the coast to Sewell's Point, where there is another large excursion house with theatre attached, where high class vaudeville performances are given during the season On this trip the charming city of Cape May will be passed and then for 2V 2 miles the route is along the ocean front of the Cape May Real Estate Company's property, where work is progressing for the making of a New Cape May and the most superb seaside resort in the world. The property comprises 2,000 acres, providing 7,500 building sites. This development is OT iuch a stupendous scale that it's worth looking into. The "Cape May's" passengers who prefer to remain at the landing en- Joy the excellent bathing on the splendid beach, where there is perfect ■afety for children and the enfeebled. The "Cape May" starts on the return trip at 3.15 P. M., reaching Phila delphia early in the evening.

Though it lias been de- j scribed as- the season of tin* sere and yellow leaf, it is. ordinarily, the most delightful of the seasons in this lati tude. Not infrequently it yields weeks j of pleasant weather, cool, bracing mornings and sunshiny days that invite ; outdoor lite. The summer that is i ending has been peculiar. Its vagar- ! ies have been more numerous and marked than any of recent years. It was preceded by an abnormal spring. It may be succeeded by a strange fall, though it may be hoped the brown ; October days will be spared for those who have postponed their outings to i take advantage of tiiem. Sick Headache ?

The Into Justice Carter of the sn preme court of the District of Colum bia used to relate an Incident of a Phil adelphia man who called at the White House so frequently and took up so niuch of rresident Lincoln's time that the latter finally lost his patience. Cue day when the gentleman was particu larly verbose and persistent and re fused to leave, although he knew that Important delegations were waiting, Lincoln arose, walked over to a ward robe In the corner of the cabinet cham ber and took a bottle from a shelf. Looking gravely at his visitor, whose head was very bald, he remarked: "Did you ever try this stuff for your hair?" "No, sir; 1 never did." "Well," remarked Lincoln, "I fcdviae you to try It, and I will give you this bottle. If at first you don't succeed try, try again. Keep It up. They say It will make hair grow on a pumpkin. Now take It and come back In eight or ten months and tell me how It works." The astonished Philadelphia!! left the room instantly without a word, carry ing the bottle In his hand, and Judge Carter, coming In with the next dele gation, found the president doubled up with laughter at the success of his strategy. Before ho could proceed to business the story had to be told.— "The True Abraham Lincoln " The Snake'* Whittle. I found myself somewhat muddy and breathing a little hard, but I was not wholly chagrined. I had heard and seen a black snake whistle. 1 had never even known of the habit before. Since then I have seen one oUier snake do It, and 1 think I have heard the sound three or four times, it Is almost Inde scribable. The jaws were closed as It was made, not even the throat moving, that I could sec. The air seemed to be blown violent 1\ through the nostrils, though sounding as if driven through the teeth a shrilling hiss, fine and piercing, which one not so much hears ns feels feels It crisping cold along his nerves. It may seem strange, but 1 be lieve this whistle is a mating call. Even the forked tongue (or maybe the nose) of it snake grows vocal with love. Dal las I .ore Sharp In National Magazine. J. J.

"Society" is a comparatively recent and almost local phenomenon Its an cestor in Europe was feudalism th« fighting men, the natural arlstoerut-y, on one side and their victims and serf* on the other. Today, the truders and hucksters, grown rich, occupy the .-a* ties of their late Iciron masters and sport their titles, though a remnant of the genuine nobles still survive*, terri ble examples of what happens to a gen eration that has outlived Its err But the physical force regime, while It lust ed, stood on a sounder anil Juster foun dation than docs the money power at present In possession, and the latter will hardly last as long as the former did. It is, I repeat, comparatively lo cal as well as recent. It could exist only In countries given np as are thos«* of Europe anil America to Industrial ism. Nevertheless lie- world may still offer living examples of society in all Its stages, from the most primitive to that which now passes.
