HOW TO BE HAPPY.
Take a pair of sparkling eyes,
. Hidden, ever and anon
I In a merdful eclipse— .
Do notheed their mild surprise—
Having passed the Rubicon.
3 Take a pair-ofrosy lips;
o Takeaflgm'e trimly planned—-
, Such as admiration whets
I (Be particular in this);
; Take a tender little hand,
{ Fringed with dainty flngerettes,
3 Press it—in parentheses;
. Take all thwe, you lucky man—
I I Take and keep them if you can!
Take a pretty little cot—-
Quite a. miniature affair—
Hung about with trellised vine,
Furnish it upon the spot
With the treasures rich and rare
I‘ve endeavored to define.
Live to love and love to live-—
You will ripen at your ease.
Growing on the sunny side——
Fate has nothing more to give.
You're a dainty man to please
If you are not satisfied.
Take my counsel, happy man;
Act upon it, if you can!

STORY OF THE MUTINY.
I was at Sultanpoor, in the presidency of
Bengal, when the terrible Indian mutiny de-
livered its first blow. There were uprisings
and mutinies at various other places before
any one at Sultanpoor became seriously
alarmed. The faith which the British had in
the native soldiery would have been sublime
had it not been blind. The English were in
India as invaders and despots. They had
given the people cause to hate them and hun-
ger for their lives. . The natives were a bun-
dred to one. Princes had been dethroned, re-
ligion burlesqued, social customs overturned
and every Englishman was regarded as stand-
ing between the natives and their heaven.
The English knew all this, and yet they had
that blind faith which entails destruction.
Because no rebellions had taken place, be-
cause the natives were servile and cringing,
all argued that the outbreaks were caused by
a few malcontents and would amount to
naught.
There are three Americans of us at Sultan-
pore. IVe had been hunting in the Dude ter-
ritory, and had been in Sultanpore for about
three weeks to rest and plan another trip.
We occupied a bungalow together and had
several native servants. Some of these were
related to som‘e of the native police and to
members of the Thirteenth Bengal cavalry,
who garrisoned the place. There were not
over fifty white persons altogether at the
station,and three-fourths of these were women
and children. On Sunday, the 7th of June of
that memorable year, I was lying in my ham-
mock in the shade of the bungalow. My head
was toward and within two feet of a thick
hedge running along the west side of the
house. I had been resting for an hour when
three or four natives crept up on the other
side of the hedge and entered into a conver-
sation, every word of which I caught. It was
announced that the rank and file were to mu-
tiny within a day ortwo, and the programme
was so carefully laid that certain men had
been detailed to shoot certain officers, and
certain plunder was to go to certain individ-
uals.
The talk continued for a full hour, and
when the conspirators withdrew no sane man
could doubt what was to follow. The tax
collector of the district was a civil officer
named Strogan, and be occupied a bungalow
not over twenty yards away. After waiting
for a. couple of hours I strolled over there,
.and when opportunity presented itself I told
him what. I had heard. He had a wife and
two children, and he was as pale as death
when I had finished my story. He went at
once to see Col. Fisher, who was in command
of the post, but that individual not only
treated the communication with contempt,
but sent an insulting message to me. It was
to the effect that he wanted no interference
in military affairs by any Yankees. He inti-
mated to Strogan that I was probably half
drunk, and declared he was ready to stake
his life on the loyalty of his men. This did
not quiet the collector, however. When he
returned he began packing up his valuables,
and that night he made an excuse to get his
family nearer the barracks.
On Sunday evening our native servants
were as servile as dogs. On Monday morning
their bearing was full of impndence. All no-
ticed it, and all were satid‘led that the mutiny
was close at hand. We had canvassed the
matter over to see what we should do. If
the garrison rebelled the odds were fifty to one
in their favor. If they elected to slaughter
every white person nothing could prevent
them. While they knew us to be Americans,
we were “ferringhees,” and that was enough.
They would kill us even for the sake of plun-
der. We decided that we stood no show at
the station, and that we must take care of
ourselves. Had we started on the highway
for Avoda or Bela we should have been am-
bushed or followed. It was finally decided
that we should retreat to an old ruin abOut
ve miles away—a spot we had visited the
eek before—and there yait for the cloud to
Hurst or the worst to come. Early Monday
-n orning, on pretense that we were going to
u ake surveys and excavations for the benefit
f history, we secured a cart, loaded it with
.rovisions, arms and ammunition, and start-
-. . off, each of us mounted on horseback. We
losed up the bungalow and took our servants
" 'th us. They seemed very willing to go,
out we soon discovered the cause. On Mon-
iay night all deserted, taking our three horses
ong. They wanted us out of the way when
he mutiny opened, that the garrison might
. -. weakened just so much. When through
'th those at the station, they would come
. d finish us. We hadnot unpacked the cart
fore they left, and they were, therefor, in
; .orance of its contents. '
Our first move on Tuesday morning was to
lect' a place for defense. The ruins were
.ose of a large temple and outbuilding, cov-
ing about four acres of ground. About the
.nter of this space was a thicket, with a fine
ring of water. From this thicket was open
ound in every direction for half musket
0t. Most of the blocks of stone were of uni-
rm size, and the three of us could handle
em. By noon we had inclosed a circular
ce thirty feet across and five high, and
. placed all our stuff within it. The after-
. n .we spent in filling tho; interstices in the
- to make it bullet proof, and in covering
. rtion of it. Before night we had a fort
. ich we believed we could defend against a
adred natives. There was no doorway to
and we should only have the top of the
to guard.
I nee or twice during the afternoon we

NORWALK‘ GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY JANUARY 22, 1890.
to Bela, and from thence to CaWnpoer. It
was toward evening of Tuesday before a
squad set out in search of us. Our servants
were anxious to see us murdered for the sake
of the “loot” to be divided. About dark,
while we were wondering if one of us had not
better go out after information, we heard a
voice calling-us, and recognized it as my syce '
or groom. We climbed out of our fort and
went to the edge of the thicket and answared
him and he soon appeared. Matters had
changed. The slave had exchanged places
with the master. The fellow was cool and
impudent as you please. When we asked
what had become of the horses be promptly
acknowledged to have stolen mine, and fur-
ther informed me that I ought to be very
thankful that he had not taken myVlife as
well. He informed us of all that had occurred
at the barracks, and stated that a party had
come out to make terms with us. Being that
we were Americans, and had had nothing to
do with their oppressions. they did noti thirst
for our blood. If we would surrender every
thing we had we could go where we pleased.
If not they would kill us and take what they
wanted.
We very soon sent the fellow away with an
answer. If we escaped from this gang it
We should be defenseless and penniless and
what could we do? lVe told him we had de-
cided to fight it out, and us soon as he disap-
peared we returned to the fort. The two
other members of the party were Henry
Wilds, a Massachusetts man, and George
Fisher of Ohio. we had been in Indiana to-
gether for a year, and had stood back to back
in many tight places. lVilds wasa typical
Yankee, good natured but courageous, and
his long arms had the strength of a horse’s
leg. The thicket was so dense that 'our fort
could not be seen unless one penetrated it a
few yards. The natives simply supposedthat
we were lying in the center of the jungle,
and half an hour after the groom left us
thirty muskets began blazing away Jur po-
sition. Some of the balls whistle 'over us,
others entered the earth, and now and then
one struck the heavy blocks of stone with a
dull ring. We took turns as sentinels, while
the other two slept, and soon after midnight
all was quiet.
It was 10.0’clock next morning before we
were troubled again. Then the members of
the old gang seemed to have been added to,
and fifty more muskets kept up a pretty
steady fire until 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
By this time we ought to have been all shot
to pieces, as the bullets had cut through every
foot of the jungle. The natives believed it
was time to advance and see. We could lo-
cate them by their loud talk and constant
dissensionsnand when we found that all had
gathered on the eastern edge of the thicket
and were about to advance, we climbed out,
crept forward, and lay down behind a big
block of rock to receive them. They entered
the thicket as a mob would have done, and
the first three men sighted were dropped in
their tracks. This caused a panic, and they
withdrew, and aside from a few stray shots
fired to let us know that we were still besieged,
we were not annoyed until next morning.
Then we heard a great hurrah, and aftera
little were given the information that they
had brought down two pieces of artillery
from the station to shell us out. They were
very slow in getting to‘ work, and when they
began firing it was very plain that they knew
nothing about artillery.
Of the first four shells fired, all went too
high and burst far beyond us. The fifth one
burst short and threw the dirt over our walls.
Then we decided to cool their ardor a bit.
We climbed over the walls, got out of the
line of fire and crept to the edge of the
thicket. There we saw a mob of over a hun- -
dred natives with the two guns planted with-
in pistol shot. One of them had become disa-
bled by ramming the ball down before the
cartridge, and the other was about to be
fired. We selected three of the gunners, fired
together, and they fell dead 'on the grass. '
Before the gang could get out of range we
killed two more and wounded a third. Then
Wilds ran forward under cover of our rifles
and spiked both pieces by driving some nails,
which he happened to have in his pocket,
into the vents. Seeing a move to flank us we
retlu'ned to our shelter, and all the rest of
that day and all night we were left in peace.
0n the third day there were but twenty na-
tives in the besieging force, and they fired
into the thicket only at long intervals On
the fourth day this force was reduced to ten.
At noon Wilds made a scout and found them
eating dinner, and we crept up and killed
one and wounded two, and completely raised.
the siege. we could «have gone away now
had we any place to go, but we had decided
to remain. =
On the fifth day, about 9 o’clock in the
morning, a rabble of about 600 natives, most
of them soldiers, who were on their way to
Cawnpoor, 'were turned aside to attack us.
Each one had a gun and plomty of ammu-
nition, and for three hours they kept up a
They could see nothing to
to shoot at, but fired into the thicket, and at
least 500 bullets hit the walls of our fortress.
We did not fire in reply, as it would only
have betrayed our position. At noon, when
the fire began to slacken, we made ready for
a'charge. There were two ‘spare guns, and
all were loaded. Then, while waiting, \Vilds
piled upa couple of hundred stones about the
size of his fist from the plentiful supply once
used in the rubble work of the buildings. The
thicket was surrounded two lines deep, and
at a signal a general advance was made. Had
we been without cover we should have been
killed or captured. When they saw our fort
the order was to storm it. The walls were so
low that one could “boost” another up, and
before we opened fire there was a living
fringe all around us. In one minute only the
dead were in sight. lVilds fired once, and
then resorted to the. rocks, and I honestly be-
lieve he disabled a dozen men. Four of the
killed fell into the inclosure, and the bodies
of two more were pushed outside.
This ended the fighting. The rabble went
03, and for the next ten days not a native
came near us._ At the end of that time we
got word that the British bad the upper hand
again at Sultanpoor, and we left our fort
and returned there. Not one of us was the
worse off, and yet we had done considerable
toward reducing the number of mutineers.
One of the natives wounded in the last fight
told me that the “general” who ordered the
charge against the fort told his men that it
was no use to' longer bother us, as all Ameri-
cans were in league with Satan, and that his
majesty would prevent their bullets or swords
from harming us. —N ew York Sun.

A condition of anmmia, or lack of blood,
occurs in the course of many acute and
chronic diseases, and, under such circumv
stances, is of importance only in connection
with the special disorder which it accom-
panies. But what of the many persons who are
evidently “poor blooded,” and yet have no
other known physical infirmity? This con-
dition is seen in all degrees of severity, from
the simple anzemia resulting from a slight
failure in the assimilation of food up to the
well nigh incurable disease called pernicimls
anaemia.
A form of the disease called chlorosis, or
green sickness, which gets its name from the
sickly greenish hue of the skin, is not unfro—
quently seen; it occurs especially in young
women who have too much indoor life and
too little exercise.
Several theories have been brought forward
by eminent medical gentlemen to..explaiu the
affection. One authority ascribes it to the
imperfect development of the heart and blood
making organs; another thinks it is due to
the inability of the formative tissues to meet
the demands of the growing organism; still a
third believes it to result from a lack of iron
in a form suitable for assimilation.
Sir Andrew Clark, the eminent London
physician, believes that in the majority of
cases the whole trouble results from the ab-
sorption into the system of poisonous alka-
loids, which are formed during the decom-
position of the contents of the digestive tract.
It has been calculated that sufficient poison
is formed in the process of decomposition in
the intestines of a healthy man during twenty-
four hours to cause death if retained and ab-
sorbed.
If such alkaloids are mixed with the blood,
there is every opportunity for them to exert
their baleful influence upon the tissues into
which they are carried. A lack of attention
to the regular and complete evacuation of
the bowels is quite sufficient to account not
only for this special series of maladies, but
for many slighter ailments, and it has been
found that the surest method of treatment in
these cases is such a course of diet and laxa—
tives as shall correct this irregular habit.—

Her Wish. Grati‘fied.
“You’d better not wish for the impossible,”
said an Irish-tongued gentleman to a friend
> who, in a fit of depression, had wished she
had died in her cradle. “You may get it!”
One might apply the same stricture to wish-
ing for the possible when its attainment would
not be altogether pleasant.
Last summer, says The LondOn Graphic,
two ladies staying in India drove in a bullock
tonga to see the view from a neighboring hill.
The prospect of the thick jungle, stretching
away for hundreds of miles, naturally sug—
gest-3:1 the idea of game, and one of them
said:
“How I should like to see a real, live tiger
just once in his native glen.”
The sun was beginning to sink as they
started to drive homeward by an unfre-
qnented track cleared through the jungle.
Soon they came to an open space, and there,
“All at once,” writes one of them, “on look-
ing up, I saw what I at first thought to be
the stump of a felled tree about thirty yards
off the roadway. As we drew a little nearer
I saw it was moving.
“ ‘Look!’ I said to my friend.
ther!’
“Fortunately, the bullocks did not scent
him, or they would have bolted and probably
upset the tonga, leaving us at the tender
mercy of the beast. As we were passing him
he left the tree under which he had been
standing, and came toward us in a crouching
‘It’s a. pan-
manner, as if making ready for a spring. We _
‘then saw it=w‘as a tiger, and a very fine one.
“To say we were frightened would notEbe ’
wide of the mark, especially as he moved
parallel with us for about twenty yards,
keeping his eye upon us the whole time, and
looking as if determined to have at least one
of us for a meal. The driver whipped up his
bullocks, we shouted, and one of us opened
and shut a white umbrella. This apparently
frightened the tiger, who disappeared into
the bush.”
Nervousness in Horses.
There is one respect in which all the most
distinguished trotters have resembled each
other, and that is in their nervous energy, in
high spirit and courage. That flame which
the Washington Hollow horseman detected in
the eye of Flora Temple came out afterward
in the resolute burst of speed with which she
finished her fast miles. Dexter was repre-
sented as being “chock full of fire and devil-
try,” and capable of jumping like a cat. Hi-
ram lVoodrufl" spoke of his “wicked head.”
Goldsmith Maid had a strong will of her own,
and the excitement she betrayed on the eve
of a race showed how fine was her organiza-
tion. “ She would stand quietly enough,”
says her driver, “while being hitched to the
sulky, although she had been previously kick-
ing and plunging in her stall, but she would
shake and tremble until I have heard her feet
make the same noise against the hard ground
that a. person’s teeth will when the body is
suddenly chilled; that is, her feet actually
chattered on the ground.
“The instant I would get into the sulky all
this would pass away, and she would start in
a walk for the track as sober as any old horse
you ever saw.” Burns was so nervous that
he never could have been driven with safety
on the road, and his courage was of the finest
temper. St. Julian was exceedingly high
strung, and in hands less patient and discreet
than those of, his trainer might never have
been subdued to the purpose of racing. J ay—

Popular Libraries.
There is nothing that so arouses an interest
in an institution of this kind as a spirited
contest over the election, of ofllcers. Take
the Merchants’ Exchange, for. instance, or
the Commercial Travelers’ association; both
are stronger and better in every way after
the exciting elections they always hold for
officers. In Cincinnati one of the institutions
of which they are the proudest is the Mer-
cantile library, and the honor of being its
pnesident for one year is so highly prized
that contests of such friendly fierceness rage
that the papers are full of news of the ' cam-
paign for weeks. Eminent citizens are placed
on the rival tickets, and their friends rally
I am told of one case
where so ambitious was a wealthy safe-
maker to secure the coveted honor that on
the day before the election he purchased
yearly membership for his 1,200 employee,
and they marched to his aid in a solid body
the next day; Similar instances, but not
quitcso extensive, have been frequent, and
the result of the agitation is to keep the
library constantly before the people, with a
risult that its membership is constantly
swelling, and it is, by reason of its wealth,
one of the finest libraries in the country.—- ,

A .House on STERLING, ILLS.
It Was Designed by Palmer 0; Palilser.
and cost 02.500.
The rear extension of this house was the
previous residence of its owner. containing
but two rooms, and was put in the present
position to answerthe purpose of kitchen and
pantries—the roof, etc., being entirely new
to correspond with the new house.
The rooms on the first floor have all open
fireplaces, each being provided with a. neat
ash mantel. The library is an excellent room,
with good front and side views, and the ver-
anda is reached in an easy manner by win—
dows from this room, making ita pleasant
retreat in hot weather.
There is a variety of outline in the exterior
of this house which cannot fail to give a pic-
turesque and pleasing appearance to the
whole. The chamber above library projects
slightly beyond the face of the octagon bay,
and 'the peculiar manner in which the sides
are supported is odd, but gives the appear-
ance of stability and firmness, the construc-
tion being lperfectly sound.
The upper sashes are filled with stained
glass, all round the sash being very small
lights of different colored glass, and the cen-
ter light has the figure of a. flower in white
on blue ground. This manner of treating
windows must be seen to be appreciated, and
no blinds are used except on the lower sash,
and when the blinds are closed it gives a
mellow tone to the light of the interior.
GROUND FLOOR.
The back hall is reached by side porch, and
the bathroom is placed so that any one com-
ing into the house can step into bathroom,
and prepare the toilet before entering the
main house; the second story rooms are full
height, and there is a well lighted attic
above. A laundry is provided in the cellar;
also provision is made for the storage of fuel,
etc. Cost, $2,500.
There are no blinds on this house, and some
hold that outside blinds are neither useful nor
ornamental. They are forever rattling on
the outside and always in the way of cur-
tains on the inside, and where we have mull-
ion windows, they must be kept closed or
they are in the we)", and if we use outside
blinds, they are forever in the way of adding
a bit of detail here and a hood or a balcony
there, which would add greatly to the effect
of the whole. Rolling Venetian blinds should
be used; they slide up and down and are out
of the way, and will cover the whole or a
part of the window, as required; but these
are a little more expensive, you say, than

SECOND STORY.
ordinary inside blinds, but we can find a sub-
stitute which is equally as good—we can
* make a' shade of heavy cloth, to roll up by
pulling a cord, or, better still. slide it with
rings on a bar.
The shades should fit the window, and
hang flat and straight, or nearly so. The ma-
terial may be cheap and coarse, and offers an
excellent opportunity for embroidery, where
it would show to good advantage. Rich
browns are the most available colors, which
might be either coarse jute cloth or ’burlzips.
Then there is an endless variety of materials
which may be used, according to taste and

,Notes on House Building.
' A reception room may be the one room in
the house. which is always in order for re-
ceiving calls. The parlor has its outgrowth
from the social life of the time, and its use in
the larger entertainments which go there-
with. A- reception room may be small; a
parlor is essentially a. large room.
A dining room should be a long room, say
not less than 17 feet, and from 12 to 13% feet
in width in moderate cost houses. Such a
shape conforms to that of the table.
A grate fire is out of place in a dining
room. It is always too warm on some one’s
back. If a grate be placed in the middle of
the wall space, it limits the availability of
the room to the extent of its projection from
the wall.
Ceilings are lower than in times past be-
cause of the rational spirit in modern build-
ing which has such high regard for utility.
A high story is expensive to build, furnish
and decorate, to say nothing of the warming
of the house in winter. Stories from nine to
ten feet in height are as common 'as those of
eleven and twelve of a few years ago.
There is no reason why the second story
should be lower than the first story. If any:
difference it should be higher. The bedrooms!
are occupied constantly for a longer period=
than the other rooms of the house, and nsu-i
any are not provided with the means of '
natural ventilation which belong to the rooms,
of the lower floor. ’ .
' The kitchen pantry is the proper place-in:
which to place the reh’lgerator. It should
' have a zinc drain to carry the driplwater to
the outside of- the building, not to, the sewer,
or drain, as is sometimes done. Such a con-:
nection may contaminate the contents of the
reh-igerator. Lows H. GIBSON. -
