Cholera has not liccf me permanent out
side 9f India, although it is seldom ab
sent from some of the provinces of Hin
dustan, From its birthplace in tho
delta of the Ganges, Pie disease hat
effected a permanent lodgment in the
provinces of Bengal, Madras, and Jiorn
bay, while in the provinces that lie to
the west and northwest, such as Rap
|KH>tawa and Punjab, it occurs only as an
epidemic, developing after great relig
ious gatherings.
Htmiwar, iu tho Punjab, at the foot
of the Himalaya Mountains is the great
nursery of cholera. It never originates
there, but has unnuallyUn en developed
there during the great Hindoo festivals.
Of fVo festivals Ilurdwar iH cursed
with two, and they draw together a
great concourse of people from every
part of the Indian Umpire. At some
of Ditto festivals os many as !t,000,000
devotees have iis< mbled, but. of late
years the numbers have fulleri oil. llurd
wnr having lost its ; acred prestige from
the fact that some of the holy waters of
the Ganges have boon profanely diverted
into a canal constructed by English au
thorities.
There immense numbers of human
beings gathered upon u bare, sandy
pliiti on the banks of the Ganges,
massed like fiords of swine, withonl
means of sanitary protection. The
earth and air, as well oh the water, are
polluted, and tho odor from the camps is
perceptible for many miles. Day and
night tho devotees pour through the
great thoroughfares of the country to
and from tho fi stival in parties of from
JO to f.t-t), following so closely ns to
make an almost continuous procession.
Ninety-live out of (-.very 100 are on
foot, but occasionally some great nabob
sweeps past with an onormous rclinuo,
or a rajah with liin caravan of elephants,
camels, horsemen and swordsmen
passes in all the grandeur and confusion
of Indian royalty. They ride over tho
poor wretches who lin the roods, tram
ple them down, and hurl imprecations
upon them for blocking tho way. Home
march hundreds amt some thousands of
miles to engage in tho festivals and to
bathe in tho sacred river. Many die on
the why, a in', all an ive lame and gaunt
from hunger and fatigue, with tln ir feel
bound up in rags and tin ir scanty cloth
ing covered with blood and dust. They
rash into the river as soon ns (hey st
rive, and drink the water as fast as they
can scoop it up in their hands.
They are fed from tho Temple
kitchen, where as many as 00,000 cooks
are at work, and tho food is distributed
among them iu a rude way. When
fresli it is not unwholesome, but too
much of it produces indigestion and
great sufferings. Tim bull-starved pil
grims eat it like gluttons, rush into tho
water again to battle and drink, and the
result is derangement of the digestive
organs. When they have eaten their
fill, whatever food is left is preserved.
It is sacred and cannot bo thrown away.
Under the hot sun it soon becomes
poisonous to the pilgrims who eat it.
In these hotbeds of disease, under
conditions that would breed a plague
anywhere, these pilgrims live. The
heat is almost uni udurnble. The living,
the sick and tlm dying are huddled to
gether, with only just ns much space as
they can cover lying dowu. As fast as
they die tin y ure buried iu tho sand.
Rut on the return journey tho misery
of the pilgrim reaches its height. They
are sick and lame, but stagger along
Until the weak fall by the roadside to
die. The bodies lie thickly along the
journey uncovered. Dome drag tlieir
weary limbs until they reach a village,
, where they drop and lie iu masses,
blocking up the streets, until they get
strung enough to move forward, or die of
' starvation and disease.
It is imp ‘s-.iblo to calculate the imm
her that perish. The Bishop of Cal
cutta estimates it at about one in five,
and those who do not die on the journey
carry the. germs of the disease home
with them, scattering pestilence along
their path. Thus the cholera is started
oil its periodical march around the
world.
No gii'iit Asialii) |)i'.lili-uoi) has ever
seourgiki the b,: ! hihl allowed the cities
of Arabia to ese.qie. The pilgrims to
Mecca mid t! " eoaimereial eanivaus to
Damascus carry death in their tram under
any quarantine Hint can bo devised, but
theaUeiujils to establish quarantine are
weak, ineffectual, and syuisuiodio,
Tlie Holy Usiv of Mecca is another
groat distributing jioiut for cholera; in
fact, it is a sort of clearing house for all
sorts of infectious di.-. uses. In 1865, it
is said, 20.000 pilgrims died there of
cholera in six day,, and the city fur cen
turies lias boon Iho focus of plagues,
which have been brought from all diree
tions, and thence distributed by return
ing pilgrims over three continents.
For many centuries there has been au
incessant stream of pilgrims to and from
Mecca, ii> ipies.-ut at the Kourbau
Bairam is the p.eat aim and end of
Molmnimedaii life, and to reach there
hundreds of ihoii aiida abandon homes
and property, and nadi rtake perilous
and exhausting jnuxui-y.-. From the
North Atlantic and Medib i raneuu shores
oi Africa, from Timbuctoo and Western
Africa, from Siberia, from the Danube
and the Sea of Azof, from the western
provinces of China, from the cities of
EJurcpe, end from the most remote
Mohammedan settlements, constant pro
sessions of pilgrims are passing to and
from Mecca; for this pilgrimage, at least
once in a lifetime, is binding on all trno
Mohammedans, and he who dies without
having made it might as well have been
a Jew, a Christian, or a dog,
The return of ono pilgrimage is never
accomplished from any of tho larger
settlements before another is on the
move. They arrive in great caravans,
and the misery and hardn)ii|is they en
dure are equal to those suffered by the
Hindu devotees. Homo corao by sea to
Jidda upon the native vessels, which
are saturated with Infectious poisons.
Each passenger receives only sufficient
space to squat upon; The intense heat
of the day, the miasmas of the night,
privations of all sorts, tho want of sleep
and food and exercise induoe a physical
condition but little short of death.
Many die on board the vessels, but the
most have strength enough left to drag
themselves to the Iloly City. Those who
go by laud and on foot suffer even
worse.
Having arrived at Mecca without rest
or food, the pilgrims enter at onoo upon
their religious duties. Tho first is to #
visit tho Kaaba, tho Holy Temple, and
the tomb of Ishmael, upon which'resta‘
tho stone letdown from Inmveo. Ujion
the arrival at tho Kaaba all drink and
perform their ablutions in the well of
Zem Zero.
The water is tepid, salty and milkisli
in color. It might have been pure once
but it lias not been so in centuries. No
pilgrime ver quits Mecca without carry
ing a jar of this water away with him,
and it is impossible to overestimate tho
potency of tho Zcm Zem spring in
spreading cholera and other diseases.
In Mecca all the essentials for an epi
demic are constantly gathered, as well as
tbe means for distributing ttio germs of
disease broadcast Tho pilgrimages in
India and Arabia have received the at
tention of sanitarians for several years,
but no means lias yet been found, so
strong is the religious sense, to prevent
the dissemination ol disease by them.
The present epidemic in France can
ne traced from Ilurdwar to Mecca, from
Mecca to Egypt anil thence along the
Mediterranean to Toulon and Marseilles.
To Make Potato Salad.
A Minnesota Indy wishes to know
how to make potato salad. Bho will bo
sure to have a nmst appetizing dish if
she does exactly as she is told. Peel
anil boil ill salted water os many pota
toes as will meot tho requirement of your
family. Suppose you have throe quarts
of boiled potatoes; they should be cut
up while hot, in small pieces ns nearly
square ns is consistent with the amount
of time. A tablespoonful of finely
chopped onion, a tablespoonful of finely
chopped parsley, a tablespoonful each of
block pepper and of salt. To this add a
teacupfnl of the best salad oil, a half
teaeupful of vinegar. Go not stir tho
salad, as there is great danger of break
ing the pieces of potatoes, and giving the
dish au untidy look. Line a salad bowl
or a vegetable dish with tender lettuce
leaves, and then put the salnil into tho
dish. In plaoe of parsley tender stalks
or very small leaves of celery may be
used. If celery is used a teaspoonful of
mustard should he added. Another sub
stitution maybe that of butter for oil;
the butter should lie molted very slowly,
in a bowl set over tho top of the tea
kettle; when it is molted drain it off
leaving the salt ill the bottom of the
howl. Another way to prepare potato
salad is to make a oooked mayonnaise
dressing and pour over the potatoes.
The dressing should be cooked as you
cook boiled custard; on excellent rule
for this is; to the well beaten yolks of
five eggs add five tablespoonfuls of vine
gar, which you have heated to tho boil
ing point. When you remove from the
fire mid three ounces of butter, season
to your taste witli suit, pepper aud mus
tard. Cresses and endive are used with
excellent efiect in potato salads. It may
not be quite dear to yon how you can
mix the various ingredients il you do
not stir tho salad; this may be done suc
cessfully by shaking the dish iu which
you prepare it, and by tossing lightly
with a fork.
An Kngiiie Driver's Talk.
“It was in my father’s time, before 1
woe n driver that this happened. Au
aunt of mine, a youngish woman then,
was traveling by tho G. W. Iv. (‘Great
Way Hound’ they used to call us) when
a young man entered the carriage,
where she was silting alone, and asked
where the train stopped first. This was
(say) at Paddington. My aunt said
‘Heading’ whs the first station and the
train immediately started. ‘Excuse
me, ma’am,’ said the gentleman, ‘but
will you oblige me by cutting my hair a
little ?’ My aunt thonght tlie mau was
mad, but being alarmed by his manner
my aunt consented. Then the young
man changed his coat, his collar, his
waistcoat and tic. He put on a pair of
spectacles, and when my mint dared to
look nt him he was for all the world like
a clergyman, nn elderly gentleman iu
spectacles ! ‘Now,’ said he, ‘you must
promise to he quiet, and never contra
diet me. If you do you will rue it’ bo
my auut—she was young then—prom
ised, and before they reached Heading
the train was stopped. A guard and a
constable came up, and looked into
every carriage. ‘Have you the tickets,
dear ?’said tho liinu to my mint, ‘All
lie lit, sir,' snid the guard. ‘Wo don't
want to disturb you nt nil. We are
looking lor someone else.' The train
went on, but the ‘old’ clergyman, as he
seemed, left the train at Heading. Ho
had committed forgery, but by disguis
ing himself escaped. ‘Clever rogue,'

Tho latest reports from the expert
mental ostrich farm iu California ore fa
vorable to the success of the enterprise.
A recent visitor to tho farm writes :
“These immense birds are kept in
yards or inclosuros, ono mule and two
females occupying a place together. A
common board fence, higher than the
ordinary, surrounds each corral, and di
vides them. There is a space or open
lane between tho pens—a driveway for
teams and to carry food to the birds.
They ent a wagon-load of shells in one
day, besides a large amount of coarse
food, vegetables, alfalfa or clover-gross,
etc. The cost of each is SI,OOO, and
tlieir weight is from 300 to 400 pounds.
They lay 75 eggs each year, each egg
valued at SIOO. Their feathers ore
plucked twice a year; they are on the toil
aud wings of the bird, the body being
nearly bare. Each plucking averages
S3OO. The eggs weigh two and a half
pounds. Tho male is block, the tail
aud wing feathers being white, and the
female a grayish white. It requires
four strong men to hold one of these pets
while plucking their plumes. It seems
a cruel process, and no wonder the birds
resist so hard. They are savage and
dangerous if attacked, and can only be
handled after a sack or stocking leg lias
been drawn over the head. They drive
them into a corner, and slip as quietly
us possible behind them to draw the
covering on; some feathers are pulled
out easily, others are cut, and one has to
understand his business to prevent the
bird from bleeding to death. They can
not fly or jump, but can keep pace with
the fleetest horses. When the eggs are
to be gathered, a Chinaman is called
into the arena. The ostrich seems to
have taken a fierce dislike to the smile
of the heathen Chinee, and is so taken
up with his efforts to attack him that
men slip iu unnoticed and take posses
sion of the eggs. The life of an ostrich
extends beyond that of human beings,
and averages 100 years. The plumes
can be purchased singly by visitors, the
price depending upon the length and
thickness of them. They have to Ik l
afterward cleaned and dyed. No dogs
or horses are allowed inside the in
closure, as the birds go wild nt the sight
of either. The Chinamen carry tlieir
food to them."

How a Rear-Admiral was Made.
One morning, when the Duke of
Clarence, having received his commis
sion and his ship, was on his way to his
tailor’s in Plymouth, to get tho now uni
form, at a street corner lie saw a boy
crying, nod stopped to inquire the cause.
The lad looked up Ihrongh liis tears, re
vealing a handsome, winning, and intel
ligent face, and replied that his mother
had died only a few days before, and that
he lmd been cast homeless into the
streets. “Where is your father?” asked
tho Prince. “Ho was lost in the Bussex,
on the Cornwell coast, two years ago.”
“now would you like to go to sea in a
first-rate man-of-war?” The boy's face
brightened us ho answered that ho would
like it very well. Tho I’rinoe took out
his pocketbook and wrote something
upon a slip of paper, which he gave to
tho boy, with a shilling. “Go down to
the docks,” ho said, "and with this
shilling you will hire a boatman to carry
you off to tho Pegasus. When you get
on board the ship yon will give this
paper to tho officer whom you find in
charge of the deck, and he Trill take care
of you. Cheer up, my lad I Show me
that yon have a tiue heart, and you Hindi
surely find a true friend.” Arrivod on
board the Pegasus, the officer of the
deck received him kindly, and sent him
to sit upon a gun-carriage under the
break of tho poop. Iu less than an hour
the Prince eamo off in his new uniform,
and the boy was strangely moved upon
discovering that the man who had prom
ised to be his friend was none other
than William, Duka of Clarence, and
Captain of the frigate. Tho boy, whose
name was Albert Doyer, was taken into
the cabin, where tho Prince questioned
him, and forthwith lie ordered him to be
rated as a midshipman, nuil from his
own purse ho procured him an outfit.
During the voyage to the American coast
tho Prince became strongly attached to
his youthful protege, keeping him aliout
his person continually, und instructing
him in general branches of education, ns
well ns iu his profession. Time passed
on and the boy grew to boa man, serv
ing King and country faithfully. Iu
time William became King, and signed
the commission which made Alliert
Doyer a Rear-Admiral. He exclaimed,
as he put liis signature to the document:

A little sun-burn is good for tbe skin.
When ttio skin has become thoroughly

Iu tho morning, wash in warm water
and a very little white castile soap.

A cooling and healthy summer drink
iH made as follows: Take a teaspeonfnl

Americans drink too much ice-water,
the settlement from the ice Vicing what
makes it unhealthy. The best way th
cool water is to fill three or four bottles
from tlie faucet and place them in the
ice box, next hi tho ice. Tho water
soon becomes deliciously cool and it is
far more healthy to drink.
A little vinegar put into the water
when washing this warm weather will
make the skin feel delightfully 0001.
Meat should only lie eaten twice a day
at this season. Fruits of all kinds, cereals
and ices are far healthier and oheaper.
The sting from mosquito bites maybe

water is the best remedy. The water

tlie inherent tendency of tlie masculine
person to become a Masher the moment
he gets a uniform, cap and a brass but
ton on. He could not explain it, but iu
common with the three hundred thou
sand who ride every day on the Elevated
Roads he had remarked it with grief
and wonder. The softer members of
the soft sox, it seems, hang out of tho
windows along the routes of these roods
waiting to be mushed by the men who
wear uniforms. Thousands of other
men, handsome, brave, gifted, travel on
these roads and attempt the same thing,
but fail. Nothing succeeds but the offi

The Orange Tree,
The orange tree is tho longest-lived
fruit tree known, ft is reputed to have
obtained the ago of 330 years, aud it has
been known to have flourished and borne
fruit for more than 100 years. No fruit
tree will grow and produce,fruit so well
under rough treatment. It commences
to bear the third or fourth year after
budding, and by the fifth year it will
produce an abundant crop, but its yield
will incieass gradually under favorable
circumstances, and as the years pass on
it will become a very productive tree.
Tho early growth of tho orange is quite
rapid, aud by tho tenth year it will
have increased more than in the next
fifty years, so far as its breadth and
height are concerned; but its ago
multiplies its fruit stems greatly, amlau
old tree will sometimes bear several
thousand oranges.
