A DRINK FOR LIFE.
I cum to India in 185 as a private is
the th, regiment; and my company
formed part of the garrison at Arcot.
Life in barracks in India is very dull;
and I have often wondered that British
soldiers out here are, on the whole, such
a steady, well behared lot of lads. Com
pare a soldier's life in a small Indian sta
tion with being quartered eVen at Malta
or Gibraltar, and either of these places
will seem like paradise; though the
"Bock" is by no means popular, and is
always called a prison by the troops for
the time being in garrison there.
Well, we found Arcot horribly dull,
audit was with great satisfaction that
we heard an order had been given for
our company to march to Vellore to
strengthen the garrison there, which had
been very much reduced by cholera.
It was then about the middle of March,
and consequently later than is usual for
moving troops, as tlie days begin to get
very hot on the plains in the Carnatic
about that time of the year. But ours
was special duty; and as we should only
march in.the very early morning, we did
not fear the inconvenience of the mid
. day heat, but looked upon the whole
thing as rather a lark, and a welcome
change from the monotony of garrison
duty. As to the cholera, not one of us
gave it a thought Not likely it would
touch one of us!
It was on the second day after leaving
Arcot that Private Thomas Atkins, who
was my right file, suddenly had to fall
oat. I expected him to rejoin the ranks
before long; but did not trouble myself
about his absence. It was not until we
retched camp and had finished breakfast
that I heard anything more about him.
I then learnt that he was buried!
I knew cholera was awfully sudden-in
its attack and effects, but I had not im
agined the possibility of its carrying off
. a healthy man quite so rapidly. Of
course immediate interment must take
place 4s case of death on the line of
saarrh I had liked Atkins much, but I
fancy his death and burial were so sud
den that the rest of us failed to realize
the truth of what had happened to our
comrade, and half expected to see him
tarn up again. Anyhow, we soon forgot
the incident
Late in the afternoon I was listening
to a description of Vellore by one of our
fellows who had been there, and specu
latiag on the chance of seeing the croco
diles which Tippoo Sultan had placed in
the moat around the fort, as the best
possible sentinels to prevent prisoners
from escaping or any of his troops from
attempting to desert, when suddenly I
felt spasms and sickness.
"Holloa! old fellow, how blue you
lookr remarked a companion sitting
next to me; and as be spoke my com
rades shrank terror stricken from me. It
needed no doctor to tell me what was the
matter. The cholera had seized me!
I was hastily conveyed to the tempo
rary hospital, where our assistant sur
geon already had several cases of the
disease under treatment, and I was laid
oa a charpoy. I rapidly passed from
the first to the second stage of that mal
ady, and by 9 o'clock at night the inces
sant vomiting and purging had reduced
me to a condition of weakness approach
ing insensibility. I was consumed by a
burning, raging thirst, but the dresser
disregarded all my entreaties for a drink
of water. The system of treatment for
cholera in those days allowed the pa
tient nothing more than just to have
the lips moistened occasionally with
weak brandy and water, and this simply
aggravated the torture of thirst Now
adays champagne is given, and the suf
ferer is allowed to drink pretty freely.
The hospital was, of course, only a
pandal, hastily constructed with palmy
ra leaves, with a large cuscus mat at the
entrances at each end. Two large chat
ties of water were placed just outside
each entrance, from which a coolie from
time to time threw a pannikinf ul on the
cuscus tathis, so that the wind, blowing
through the wet mats, might cool the
temperature inside the pandal. This re
mit certainly was attained, but at the
coat of intensifying the pangs of the pa
tients, whose thirst was tantalized by
hearing the splashing of the water.
I had begged, sworn and menaced, at
intervals, but no one paid the slightest
heed to me; and I was sinking into that
coaditioB) of torpor which to the immedi
ate precursor of the third and fatal stage
of cholera when I heard voices in the
pandal. The assistant surgeon was
making his last round for the nigne ac
companied by the hospital dresser.
With a violent effort I roused myself
aad eagerly listened for their approach.
I wanted to hear my fate pronounced.
They stopped at length where I lay,
aad the doctor examined my body.

It was like a galvanic shock to mo. I
resolved to have a drink at any risk. I
had to die, so what matter If I hastened
my death ah hour or two by drinking
cold water! At least 1 should be re
lieved from the torture of thirst and di
happy.
I tried to get up. but I was too weak
to stand, and fell down at once. Then I
reflected that I was more likely to be
seen if I walked, and if detected in my
attempt I should be brought back, and
perhaps be strapped down to die. So I
tried to crawL
I was about ten minutes dragging my
self the forty feet from my cot to the
entrance, and 1 wriggled under the cus
cus tathi like a snake.
There were the chatties before me!
The first I seized was empty, and the
disappointment nearly made me swoon:
but the second was brim full. I threw
my arms around it, and dragged myself
to it I plunged my head into the de
licious, limpid water, and devoured
rather than drank huge mouthful of
the cool and heavenly fluid. I felt tny
stomach swelling with the enormous
draughts I swallowed: but I laughed and
drank again and again. I recked naught
of life and death then.
At length I could drink no more, and
then discipline asserted itself. I knew
I had no right to be out there, and I
thought if I were missed from my cot I
should be reported. So I crept back the
way I had come, and shortly after fell
into a profound sleep.
It was broad daylight when I awoke,
and saw the assistant surgeon and dress
er standing beside me.
"How is thisT asked the doctor.
''Wetherall ought to have been dead.
"Please, sir," said I, "I am feeling
much better, and have no wish to make
the sixth this morning." ,
He knew I had overheard his remark
on the preceding night; he smiled sadly
and said, "I am sorry to say there were
six without you. But I cannot under
stand how it is you are alive. Host ex
traordinary 1"
I rapidly recovered; and as I had never
indulged in the pernicious country ar
rack sold to soldiers out here, I was soon
quite strong again. I was made sergeant
very soon, and 1 remained upward of
twenty years serving with different regi
ments out here; but it was 'some time
before I told any one bow I recovered
from my attack of cholera. However, I
told the doctor one day all about it; and,
thougl1 he said the cold water ought to
have k Jlcd me, I observed the poor fel
lows who were in hospital with cholera
got an extra allowance of water.
All my people were dead or scattered,
and I had no wish to return to England,
so I took my pension; and the bounties
I had obtained, added to my savings,
enabled me to buy this bit of land. I
am doing well, and have all a man can
wish for to make him happy. Black

Charts.
The great charter was agreed to by
King John on the 15th of June, 1215,
at Eunnyuede. It was, in truth, not
an act of parliament or statute, but a
treaty between the king and his sub
jects, and was framed upon a series of
forty-nine articles drawn up by the
barons and presented to the king.
There was consequently two separate
documents: one, "The Articles of the
Great Charter of liberties," and the
other, "The Great Charter" itself.
Neither were signed by either the king
or the barons. Both were sealed with
the great seal of King John ; and, as
we shall see, there is some evidence
that the great charter was sealed by
some of the barons; but the baron do
not appear to have sealed the articles.
The original articles are in the Brit
ish museum, and a fac-simile of them
is exhibited to the public, They are
written in Latin, on parchment ten.
and three-quarter inches broad and
twenty-one and one-naif inches long,
including the fold for receiving the
label. To the label the great seal of
King John is still appendant; but,
unfortunately, the whole document
has been greatly damaged. Its history
is very obscure. At an early date it
was probably deposited at Lambeth,
and it apparently remained there till
1C45.
At the end of the Seventeenth cen
tury it was in the possession of Gilbert
Burnet, bishop of Salisbury, and he
S'ves in the "History of His Own
me" the following account of the
manner in which he came by it:
When the impeachment of Archbishop
Laud was brought to the bar of the
lords, he. apprehending how it would
end, sent over Warner, bishop of Eo
chester, with the keys of his closet and
cabinet, that he might destroy or put
out of the way all papers that might
either hurt himself or anybody else.
He was at that work for three or four
hours, till, upon Laud's being com
mitted to the Black Rod, a messenger
was sent over to seal up his closet, who
came after all was -removed. Among
the writings took away, it is be
lieved the original Magna Charta pass
ed by King John in the mead near
Straines was one. This was found
among Warner's papers by his execu
tor, and that descended to his son and
executor. Col. Lee, who gave it to me.
So it b now in my hands, and it came
very fairly to me.
For this conveyance of it we have
nothing but conjecture. As Burnet
had been allowed to search all the
public records, Lord Dartmouth sug
gests that the above account was in
tended to allay any suspicion that he
obtained so valuable a document in a
less justifiable manner. Chambers'

In the western states and on the plains
ox teams are driven with whips, and the
oxen are trained to canter along the road
in a not ungraceful trot. In New Eng
land one never sees oxen driven faster
than a walk. The use of the whip is
humorously described by Mr. Kerr in his
account of South African travel.
Many and many a time had I used the
short handled whip employed in herding
cattle en the western prairies of America,
but I was a complete stranger to the gi
gantic and indispensable whip common
to all South African caravans. In be
coming initiated into the mysteries of its
use I left numerous marks upon my face
and neck, and was more than once nearly
strangled.
Whila vigorously pressing on the lead
ing oxen I would fall heels over head
into some deep bote. Sometimes the
oxen would wheel quickly round, rush
through the forest and break the young
trees, while the old wagon rolled along
like the grounding of a wrecked balloon.

ences, I felt as though I bad been mobbed

Macaroni.
Macaroni is a peculiar product of
wheat, formerly made only in Italy and
still popularly regarded as a distinguish
ing diet of the natives of that country.
The name is now applied only to the
larger pipes, and the smaller ones are
known as vermicelli, though there is no
real difference between the two except
the size of the tubes. The wheat is
ground with the use of heat and moist
ure into a sort of meal or paste called
semola, from which the bran is excluded.
This meal is made into a dough with
water, and is forced through gauges
from which it emerges as macaroni or
vermicelli, the process resembling that
of lead pipe drawing. Special varieties
of wheat, those containing the largest
i proportion of gluten, are demanded for
the successful manufacture of macaroni. -.

lad or lassie, when the first baby tooth

Everybody is wearing flannel shirts now,
and our sales amount to more than 75.

"You know how a flannel shirt will
shrink? I have a plan which will not
only make a man's flannel shirt fit him
all the time, but will enable him to come
out with a new style shirt every two
days. 3Iy Flannel Shirt Exchange will ;
take a shirt that is too small for a man
from washing and give him one a size
longer of the same quality for the small
sum of 23 cents, provided the shirt he
brings in is clean. Thus a man with a
80-inch torso can get the shirt of the 82
inch man, and give lib out to the 28-inch
man, while the 82-inch man will take
that which belonged to him of 87 inches,

The pathologists of the New York city
health department, in their report on the
prevention of tuberculosis, specially em
phasize the following facts: First, that
tuberculosis is a distinctly preventable
disease; second, that it is not directly in
herited; and, third, tliat it is acquired by
the direct transmission of the tubercle
bacillus from the sick to the healthy,
usually by means of the dried and pul
verized sputum floating as dust in the
air. The measures, then, which are sug
gested for the prevention of the spread
of tuberculosis are: First, the security of
the public against tuberculous meat and
milk, attained by a system of rigid official
inspection of cattle; second, the dissem
ination among the people of the knowl
edge tliat every tuberculous person may
be a source of actual danger to his asso
ciates, if the discharges from the lungs
are not immediately destroyed or render
ed harmless: and, third, the careful dis
infection of rooms and hospital -.wards
that are occupied, or have been occupied,
by phthisical patients. Boston Herald.

"The duke, being asked how be had suc
ceeded in beating Napoleon's marshals,
one alter another, said: 'I will tell you.
They planned their campaigns just as
you might make a splendid set of har
ness. It looks very well and answers
very well until it gets broken, and then
you are done for. Now, I made my
campaign of ropes. If anything went
wrong I tied a knot and went on.'
This, too, is a very characteristic story :
"When asked what was the best test
of a great general he replied: To know
when to retreat and to dare to do it "
Here is another anecdote:
"The duke used to say tliat he attrib
uted his success in some measure to al
ways being a quarter of an hour earlier
than he was expected, and that the wise
course in action is to attack your enemy
at the moment he is preparing to attack
you." Sir William Fraser's Reminis

one drug house
That one drug house in Vicksburg
should receive orders for fifteen tons, or
80.000 pounds, of pari green in one day
demonstrates the extent of the appre
hension felt by cotton planters concern
ing the cotton worms in the large area
of country tributary to or trading with
that city. With the .cotton worms ap
parently so formidable in their second
generation, the third generation, which
forms a vast increase over its progeni
tora, may do very serious damage. It is
extremely unfortunate, if it be true, that
the available supply of paris green has
been already exhausted. It is likely that
far more than the amount already used
will be needed. Where these pests are
unchecked by poison, in their third gen
eration, they have been known to rav
age cotton fields and leave the stalks as
bare of foliage in the .latter part of Au
gust and September as they are in early
February before being pulled up and
burned, preparatory to the planting of a
new crop. New Orleans Times-Democrat

There is about modern "Mohammedan
ism, at least of the military type, noth
ing of the uncertainty and shillyshally
with which modern Christianity is some
times reproached. The prophet under
dtood the natural man of Asiatic and
African races perfectly well, and his
mode of procedure is still fully justified
with them. He did cot, like some un
wise fanatics, promise universal victory,
invulnerabkness, or anything of the
kind. The followers of the Khalifa are
quite aware that they may be collective
ly defeated and individually killed. But
that does not interfere either with their
certainty of the ultimate success of their
cause, with their sense of the duty of
offering coaveraioB, tribute or the.sword,
or with their enjoysaeat of the comfort
able prospects of the ssartyred believer.
