PiliQ AS LOW OR LOWER d. i ALL SAME EATS. Men Who Live on Almost Nothing. mere is no anstemioubiifv i i the world, and no thrift like the thrift and abstemiousness of the avenge native of In dia. Almost alone among the working' men of the world, he has raised himself almost above want, has stripped himself of all the im pedimenta of luxury. Millions of men in India, especially on the richer soils and in the river deltas, live, marry and rear apparently healthy children, upon an income which, even when the wife works, is rarely above 50 cents a week, and frequently sinks to 35 or 4.0 cents. .The Indian is enabled to do this not so much because of the cheapness of food for, though it is cheap, an American who ate the same food would want five times the money merely to feed himself as by a habit of living which makes him independent of the or dinary cares of mankind. He goes nearly without clothes, gives his children none, and dresses his wife in a long piece of the most wretched muslin. Neither he nor his wife pays tailor or milliner one shilling during their entire lives, nor do they ever purchase needles or thread, which, indeed, it is con trary to a semi-religious etiquette ever to use. The poorest peasant inhabits a hut that contains a sin gle covered room of the smallest size, with an earthen platform or two outside of it; and as he con structs and repairs his own dwell ing he virtually pays no rent, ex cept for the culturable land. He never touches alcohol or any sub stitute for it There is an idea that he eats opium or hemp; but, as a rule, he swallows neither firstly, because he regards them with as much moral antipathy as any English gentleman, and sec ondly, because he could not by any possibility pay for articles which in India, as everywhere else, are exceedingly expensive. He eats absolutely no meat, nor any animal fat, nor any expensive grain like good wheat; but lives on mil let or small rice, a little milk, with butter from the milk, and the veg etables he grows. Even of these he eats more sparingly than the poorest Tuscan. Perhaps he will THIS ! ! beck eat onough during tomii festival, but a- .a rule hi knous accurately wh.u will sustain him, and would be iMiragt'd '.itli tin wife who cooks for him if she prepared more. He is assisted in this economy by a religious ruin which a Hindoo j never breaks, and which i mi-1 doubtedly like the rule against, killing oxen, a survival from a military law or custom of the most remote antiquity. Some Heavy Tunneling. Nelson Bennett siys that dur ing the month of November, thir ty days, 505 feet of the .Stampede tunnel, on the western division of the Northern Pacific, were all constructed under wall plate. Timbering was done, it being ne cessitated by the fact that the rock is what is called "short rock" that is, rock not self-supporting. The above figures show the best tunneling record, surpassing the work of October, 472 feet, under the same circumstances. Dy namite to the amount of 300 pounds and more per day is used n cutting into the mountain. USING Tiller. FOll EVERYTHING. Peter Magerus, residing at 231 Johnson Avenue, Brooklyn, E. D.. N. Y.. says: During the last eighteen years I have been using over fifty Allcock's Plasters a year in my family. I have found tnem a most perfect ex ternal remedy. They have repeat ed! cured me of rheumatism, to which I am subject every winter. They have cured me of pains in the sides and back three times. My wife, children and mother-in-law tell me Allcock's Plasters are the best remed yever made, so agreeable, so certain. I know they have cured my wife of pains in the" back and of a severe cough. My mother-in-law has been cured of a most severe cold, whicli threatened to turn into pneu monia, by Allcock's Plasters. Peter Magerus.
