POOR GIIALL
A Story of India and tho Admi
ral's Only Lovo.
The old Admiral leaned back in his
chair, and in shrill, piping voice, said:
"I once had a little love adventure, a
-very singular one; would you like me
to lcll it to you?"
He spoke, without moving, from the
depths of his great arm-chairr still
keeping upon his lips that derisive
fiuile which never left them, the smilo
i la Voltaire, which made him pass for
a frightful sceptic.
1 was thirty-three and a Lieutenant
in the navy when I was charged with
uu astronomical mission to Central In-
li:i. The English (Jovcrnmcnt fur
- nished me with all thu means neces
sary for parrying out the enterprise,
and I presently found myself, with a
:orps of assistants, in that strange, sur
prising and AvondcrfiJ country.
I finally readied the objective point
of my voyage, the city Ganhnra, for
meiby one of the most prosperous in
Central India, und at. that time gov

At about an hour's journey from tho

parisoned, surrounded by an escort of
"honor which thu sovereign had sent to
mteet me, and I was conducted in great
pomp to the palace. .
I should have liked'to have had time
to dress myself properly, but the royal
.impatience would not allow it. I was
introduced to a gr'1 n:l11 surrounded
lv galleries which were tilled with men
jefothed in the most magnificent gar
ments. ',
Upon a bench, like one of our garden
jrjenches. but covered .with rich vslvet, I
peceived a glittering mass, a sort of
iting, dazzling sunlight; it was the
Ttjali who awaited me. He had upon
hn icrson ten or fifteen million dia
teonds. and upon his forehead shone
tic famous star of Dollii, which has al
ways belonged to tho illustrous dynasty
of thePariharasof Mundorc, from'wbicn

thick lips and a coarse board; his fore
head was low and his teeth were sharp
and white.
He arose and came toward mc, ex
tending his hand. Then ho made me
sit beside him upon a scat which was so
high that my feet scarcely touched the
ground.
He at once proposad a tiger hunt for
the next day. He as evidently per
suaded that'l had coiio a long distance
isimply to amuse myself and join ia hi
sports.
As he could be of the greatest assist

to his desires. He was so pleased with

the stones, making horrible grimaces.
The Rijah laughed madly, and pinched
my slonlder in testimony of his pleas

spectide, he dragged mc through the

And every dav a procession of scc-

Science has made great progress in
treating diseases of the eve. Cataract
in most cruses can be relieved, and good
working virion retorcd, even in the very
aged. The disease consists in the
crystalline lens becoming opaque, and
its treatment, in removing the lens and
supplying its place with glasses. There
is another still more prevalent disease
of the eye, in which the iris becomes
adherent to the transparent protecting
cornea before it, ami the latter be
comes of a milk-white opacity. This
disease has been looked on as nearly
hopeless. Rut last year the surgeon to
the St. Paul's Eye "and Ear Hospital,
England, treated a case of the kind with
a success which fairly astonished him,
and which leads him to anticipate in
the future as favorable results as in
other grave diseases of tho eve.
