Strange Customs in Trayancore

There are two remarkable ceremonies
performed by the Kings of Travancore
called Tulapurusha Danam and Hiranya
Garbha Danam. At the first, which
signifies "the gift of the weighing of q
man." the regning Prince weighs his
august person against ingots and coins of
refined gold, and afterwards distributes
the said gold to pious and learned Brah-
mans. The ceremony lasts more than a
week. The Maharaja shaves and bathes,
is anointed with water of reddish hue,
goes through many tedious rites, and
finally, after presenting the Pagoda with
a bull elephant, takes the sword and
shield of state and gets into one scale,
while the opposite scale is filled with gold
coins and ingots until it fairly lifts the
royal person into the air.
The whole expenditure on such occa-
sions, including the gold, the travelling
expenses of chiefs, the feasting of Brah-
mans, and the erectien of temporary
sheds, has amounted to about G16,000.
Fanatical partisans of competitive exam
nations may like to know that certain
Brahmans who "pass" in the Vedas and
Shastas obtain extra allowances of gold,
and that great Pundits and Vaidiks in
this way get much larger quantities. 1t
is, however, humiliating to reflect that
the Maharaja is allowed to make discre-
tionary payments to privileged families
and to friends and dependents, and can
thus put some check on the pendants
and doctrinaires. 1t is also consoing to
learn that humber individuals, econom-
ically inclined, can weigh themselves
against less costly substances, such as
sugar, treacle, sandalwood, pepper and
plantains.
The Hiranya Garbham, or "Womb of
Cold" is more simple. A huge vessel,
in form like the lotus, is made of pure
gold, 10 feet in height and feet in cir
cumference. This is half filled with
water, ghee, and milk; and the King,
descending into it from the top by means
of beautiful ladder expressly made"
for the occasion, takes a dip, performs
his devotions in this purifying mixture,
and has Vedic hymns chanted over him.
This ceremony lasts about 10 minutes
instead of eight days, but it may cost
about 914,000. The first ceremony
was performed by the maternal un-
cles of the present Maharaja in 1929
and 1850, and he himself went through
il in the tenth year of his reign, when he
was 50 wears old.

Getting over Yellow Fever.


L, an Army doctor, noted for his
voracious appetite, was quartered in
Kingston, Jamaica, and there got yellow
fever. Bleeding, calomel, blisters and
the other stereotyped remedies of the
day failed 10 kill him, as they were kill
ing scores around; he pulled through,
physicians Notwithstanding. One morn
ing, during early convalescence, the
highest medico-military authority of the
island came to see him. "Pm awfully
hungry" says the sick man. "pd like a
first-rate dinner to-day, some pepper-pot,
mountain mullet, ducks and green peas,
black crab or two and jouram of san
garee."
The Inspector General is dumb-struck
at the nature and extent of his subordi-
mates menu. He shakes his head. "Gad,
sir, it would kill you, certainly kill you.
Take some chicken broth, little panada
and one glass-no more-of Madeira.
Ducks and green peas! Black crabs!
Black death, STRIP and he goes his ways.
But l. sends for his cook; and al
though that functionary can not get all
the delicacies his master orders, does
manage to secure the birds and vegeta-
bles, which l. eats to the last frag-
ment, washes down with full allowance
of sangaree, sleeps and wakes in the
morning like giant refreshed. Then
comes the Chief for his customary
visit, feels his patients pulse,
makes the usual professional in
quiries, and is quite satisfied with
his condition. "Ahp he says, "better;
decidedly better in all respects;
cool, quiet, normal. Now, my dear fel-
low, if you had eaten those things you
wanted, and more especially ducks and
green peas, we would have been, as told
you, measuring you for your coffin this
morning, and playing the Dead
March in Saul at your funeral at sum
down this evening. Good day! you'll be
at your duty soon" And he was. But
having told the story, and raised the
laugh against the p NJ. O. (Principal
Medical Officer, that administrator sent
him to vegetate at one of the most re-
mote and out-of-the-way stations in the
command, where even ordinary beef and
yams were scanty, and ducks and green
peas impossible.

party had gone up the river but short dis

into the river. The current was strong and
carried him out beyond his depth. One OF
his companions raised the alarm, but be.
fore Father Major could rescue the boy he
was drowned. Father Major was untirine
in his efforts to procure the body, which
was accomplished later in the evening, and
brought to the city to its unhappy parents
that night at IL O'Clock. No blame can be
attached to any one for his untimely death.

A new style of sacred oratory struck the
town of Amboy, this state, few week:
age. which had such effect upon the people
that the local preachers were left without
congregations; aud it was only by com.
promise with the new conner that they
were able to prevent their focks from for
getting their accustomed places. They
therefore gambled for the celebrated evan
gelist, by drowning lots who should have
him. 1t was fOally settled that he should
preach for the Methodist 10 the morning,
the Baptists in the afternoon, aud the Gen
tiles in the opera house at night. His
methods are intensely sensational. He
has men struck down by the Holy Ghost
