# The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 8/Epistles - Fourth Series/VIII Diwanji Saheb

VIII
BOMBAY,
1892
DEAR DIWANJI SAHEB, (Shri Haridas Viharidas Desai)
The bearer of this letter, Babu Akshaya Kumar Ghose, is a particular friend of mine. He comes of a respectable family of Calcutta. I found him at Khandwa where I made his acquaintance, although I knew his family long before in Calcutta.
He is a very honest and intelligent boy and is an undergraduate of the Calcutta University. You know how hard the struggle is in Bengal nowadays, and the poor boy has been out in search of some job. Knowing your native kindness of heart, I think I am not disturbing you by asking and entreating you to do something for this young man. I need not write more. You will find him an honest and hard-working lad. If a single act of kindness done to a fellow creature renders his whole life happy, I need not remind you that this boy is a Pâtra (a person quite deserving of help), noble and kind as you are.
I hope you are not disturbed and troubled by this request of mine. This is the first and the last of its kind and made only under very peculiar circumstances. Hoping and relying on your kind nature, I remain,
Yours faithfully,
VIVEKANANDA.
# The Dream Doctor

The Dream Doctor is a fix-up—in this case "fixed-up" from 12 short stories—of mystery and crime unravelled by the "scientific investigator" Craig Kennedy. Jameson, the Star reporter, and Kennedy's sidekick, is asked to stay with Kennedy for a month and give an insider's report for the Star's readers. As they rush from one case to another, Kennedy finds it even more hectic than he'd bargained for.

# The Dial (Third Series)/Volume 75/Majesty Walks In The Garden: Spain

MAJESTY WALKS IN THE GARDEN: SPAIN
BY ELIZABETH J. COATSWORTH
All in black, among black cypresses,
All in black, white-faced as hoar-frost is,
With heavy scarlet lips, the king walks slowly
Down the hedged paths, bending his long cold face
Over the rosary trickling through his fingers.
All in black, moving so sombrely
Among the cypresses, with the small white Christ
In agony, between his cruel fingers—
All in black, pacing down gravelled walks,
His heavy scarlet lips ceaselessly moving,
The king awaits the hour of his appointment
With his new mistress,
Sombrely, slowly,
Marking the minutes by his trickling prayers,
His trickling prayers that focus on the cross
White as the body of his latest love.
All in black, between black cypresses,
All in black, the king awaits the hour.

Edition of 1920. See also Friedrich Ludwig Jahn on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
JAHN, Friedrich Ludwig, German patriot: b. Lanz, 11 Aug. 1778; d. Freyburg, 15 Oct. 1852. He was educated at Halle, Göttingen and Greifswald, paying special attention to theology and philology. He served for a time in the Prussian army and in 1809 removed to Berlin, where he became a teacher. To restore the morale of his young countrymen, then at its lowest ebb after the Napoleonic conquest, he hit upon the idea of practising gymnastics. The result was the first Turnplatz, opened in 1811, and which was soon attended by 1,000 of the youth of the German capital. Branches were soon formed in other cities, but the reactionary policy of the rulers in that day soon put an end to the movement, it being feared that it had a political or revolutionary significance. Jahn was arrested in 1819 and the Turnplatz suppressed. He was liberated in 1825, but was never after fully free and his remaining years were spent in comparative obscurity. The Turnvereine of present-day Germany is modeled closely on the designs of Jahn. In 1859 a monument was erected to his memory at Freyburg.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Jagannath

Edition of 1920. See also Jagannath on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
JAGANNATH, or JUGGERNAUT (Sanskrit, Jagannâtha, lord of the world, one of the names of Vishnu), called by the natives Puri, a town and celebrated temple of Hindustan, in the presidency of Bengal, province of Orissa, on the Bay of Bengal, 48 miles south of Kattack. The town derives all its importance from the temple. This, the most celebrated shrine in Hindustan, was completed in the 12th century, at an enormous expense. The worship of Jagannath, the God of the people, aims at a catholicity with every form of Indian devotion
and at the incorporation therein of every Indian conception of God. The main street of the city, at the extremity of which the temple stands, consists entirely of religious structures built of stone. The gardens here produce the finest fruits in the province. The temple stands near the shore, in a waste, sandy tract, and appears like a shapeless mass of stone. The idol is a carved block of wood, with a hideous face, painted black, and a distended blood-red mouth, and is magnificently dressed. On festival days the throne of the image is placed on a high tower moving on wheels. Long ropes are attached to the tower, by which the people draw it along. The belief that devotees used to cast themselves headlong in front of this car to be crushed to death probably grew out of the accidental fatalities sometimes occurring. Every year pilgrims flock in crowds to the temple.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Jaguar

Edition of 1920. See also Jaguar on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
JAGUAR, jăg'ū-är or jăg'wär, a great American spotted cat (Felis onca), once numerous as far north and east as Arkansas, but since the early part of the 19th century rare even in Mexico. It resembles the leopard, but is more robust (exceeding the cougar in weight), has a rounder head, relatively shorter legs and a shorter, thicker tail. The tawny yellow hide is spotted with black, the spots larger than those of the leopard, and inclined to form broken rings with a spot in the centre. Jaguars abound in the tropical forests, especially along the great rivers, where they find most prey. They subsist largely on capybaras, agoutis, etc., but frequently pounce upon deer when they come down to drink. They seem to be more arboreal than most large cats, and a favorite method of obtaining their food is to lie along a tree-limb in some favorable spot and leap down upon the victim. But jaguars also abound in the treeless morasses of the Gran Chaco, and even on the dry uplands of Paraguay and Argentina, where their food and habits are entirely different from those that dwell in the forests. In view of the great extent of country and variety of circumstances in which this animal lives, formal statements as to its habits are rarely more than locally true; and much error and superstition encumbers popular accounts. In general the jaguar has the manners and disposition of other great cats, changing with environment, season and circumstances. It submits grudgingly to captivity, and gives the same reluctant submission to the training of the circus as is exhibited by other great cats. In some regions it is greatly feared by the people, while in other places it is regarded as little to be feared. Its greatest peculiarity, perhaps, is the tendency to terrific roars and cries, more loud and continuous than those of cougars or leopards. Consult the works of South American travelers and naturalists, especially Humboldt, Azara and Walterton. Their accounts are well summarized by Porter in ‘Wild Beasts’ (New York 1894). Consult also Bates, H. W., ‘The Naturalist on the Amazon’ (7th ed., London 1895); Hudson, W. H., ‘The Naturalist in La Plata’ (4th ed.,
ib. 1903); Wallace, A. R., ‘Travels on the Amazon’ (ib. 1889).

During eighteen months he acted also as Secretary to the Chief Commissioner in the Revenue Departments. In 1870 he was specially deputed to inquire into and report upon the operation of the salt tax in Oudh and the north-west provinces, and, as one result of his labours, obtained a considerable relaxation of the law in respect of the illicit manufacture of salt, which had been exceedingly harsh and oppressive. In 1878 he retired on pension, and went to Tasmania. In July 1879 he was elected to the House of Assembly as member for West Devon, and held that seat continuously (being twice elected against opposition and twice unopposed) until Oct. 29th, 1888, when he was appointed Agent-General for the Colony in London.

When in March 1887 he was called upon to form an Administration, Mr. Braddon resigned the Premiership to the Hon. P. O. Fysh, a colonist of longer standing, and took the leadership of the Assembly as Minister of Lands and Works, holding also the portfolio of Minister of Education. He was sworn of the Executive Council, on March 29th, 1887, and was one of the representatives of Tasmania at the second session of the Federal Council of Australia, held at Hobart in Jan. 1888.

He read a paper on "Tasmania, its Resources and Products," before the Royal Colonial Institute, session 1888-9. Mr. Braddon, who is a brother of Miss Braddon, the well-known authoress, was created K.C.M.G. on Jan. 1st, 1891.
