The fraternity has been ence for over 120 years. Chaudri is commonly known in the North of In- dia as barrister. or vakil, but the post amongst the barhérs of Madras car- decides cases that come up before him with their aid. The Chaudri"s post is a life ap- pointment. When he dies, forty days after his death a mass meeting of barbers is held, and the vacancy is filled. The elected man from precedence should have been a juror, should be a man of good birth, education, and character. The barber fraternity of Madras now consists of 160 Moham- medan barbers, and will meet at the Moham:nedar = barbers' mosque in Poirti'guese Church Street, North Georgetown which is supported by the Mohammedan barbers of Madras, and by the fines levied by the Chaud- ri; to elect their Chaudri from one of the jurors, and place on the jury one of their own men. $100 Reward, $10v.

The Gold Coast of Africa has only about sixty a year, which is less than occur in Florida, though the latter country is outside the tropics. In Java there is a thunderstorm every day for five months. Perhaps 'the most astonishing fact in regard to thunderstorms is that the island of Mauritius, which is only 550 miles east of 'Madagascar, has on an aver- age only one thunderstorm in eighty years.

A young man cannot interview his sweetheart without her parents' consent, and, indeed, ali con- versation openl, carried on between the couple must be in the! presence of the fair one's mother. Many subterfuges are adopted by the lovers to overcome this difficulty, and the "reja"--the ornamental ironwork on the windows of Spanish houses-- has become one of the favorite trys Modern life, hawever, has imposed fresh barriers. If a young man's sweetheart lives on the third-floor of a city building, he can- not very well meet her at the "reja." In this, as in other spheres of life, necessity is the mother of invention, and some ardent lovers have brought speaking-tubes to their assistance. The senorita, at the appointed hour, lowers this to her lover below, and they are thus able to carry on their love affairs, with the assurance that they are not sverheard by the people on the intervening flats, as would bs the case if the conversation were car- ried on without such aid.
