A Darky's Thanks.

Some time ago one of Arkansas most
widely known statesmen, who is now
dead, was passing along a street in Little
Rock when an old cOlOred man who had
once belonged to him approached, took
off his hat and passed hand over his
white wool, as he asked:
"Marster, gin de ole man fifty cents. 5"
. Dan, you are a robber."
"How?'' asked the astOnished darky,
opening his eyes, around which rough
shod age had walked.
''Didn't you see me put my hand into
my pocket?''
% Vas, sab. :"
"Well, you old rascal, you rob me Of
the pleasure of giving you money with
out being asked.''
The old man received a dollar. Bow
inc almost to the ground, while tears
came out and coursed through the age
prints around his eyes, he replied:
q Marster, wild sich heart as you hab,
and wild Abraham and Isaac and the
Lord on your side, 1 don't see what can
keep you out of heaben. ''-NelC York

MOther-wOrship in India.

Mother-wOrship in some form or other
is the popular worship of India. In the
first place, every living mother is vene-
rated as kind of deity by her children.
Then almost every village has its own
special guardian Mother, called Malta or
Amba, or, in the south of India, Am
man.
There are about 14O distinct Mothers
in Guiarat, declared by the Brahmins
to be different forms of Siva's cOnsort.
These are really the representatives of
ancient local deities (Grama devatas) 4,
worshiped by the inhabitants from time
immemorial. l visited a small village
near Kaira presided over by a Mother
wOrshiped under the name of KhOdiyar
(Mischief), because she is supposed
when in an amiable mood to shield from
harm. Nor is she undeserving of her
name, for she will turn mischievous
when her temper is ruffled by neglect.
If an epidemic breaks out among the
villagers, Mother Mischief is believed to
be offended, and must be appeased by
extraordinary offerings, and perhaps by
blood.
Another Mother in neighboring vii
lage is worshiped under the name of
Untai. She has the special function of
preventing OF producing cough III GILL
dren. Another, named Berai, prevents
cholera another, called Maraki (pOpu-
larly Marki), causes cholera; another,
Hadakai, controls mad dogs and pre-
vents hydrOphobia; another, Asa-puri,
represented by two idols, satisfies the
hopes of wives by giving children. The
offering of goats blood to some of these
Mothers is supposed to bevery effectual ;
the animals are not always killed. A
story is told of a clever HindOo doctor
who cured a whole village of influenza
by simply assembling the inhabitants
and solemnly letting loose a pair of
scape-goats into a neighboring wood in
tested by demons.
The power of at least one well dis
posed Mother in Gujarat is exerted in a
remarkable way for the benefit of wom-
en- after childbirth. Among a very low
caste set of basket-makers (called Pom
LAP it is the usual practice of wife to
90 about her work Immediately after de-
livery, as if nothing had happened. The
presiding Mata of the tribe is supposed
to transfer her weakness to her hus-
band, who takes to his bed and has to
be supported for several days with nour-
ishing food.-Prof. Monjer Williams, IN
the -Athaneunl.

Fun at Court.

Lord LOrne has been having a skating
and tobogganing party, and an Ottawa
letter to the New York World thus de-
scribes it: First, there was the ice, in
splendid condition, big sheet enough
with bdsh-covered island in the upper
part, while cleverly arranged on a
framework at the end there cleaned out
in gigantic letters of light the kindly
words: GA Happy New Year, On
the margin of this frozen lake there had
sprung up a real backwoods shantv,
with timbers squared on two sides so as
to fit closely, and showing the honest
rough bark of the tree on the outside.
The inside was PRETTY wainscoted and

were the order of the night, and if there

which a pretty costume and graceful

dainty, coquettish little q toqueS'' of red

real fun of the evening, and a pretty

Railroad Construction in the South.

That the railroads constructed in the
South fall far short of the necessities of
that portion of the country is not to be
doubted. The present outlook however,
iustifies the bcief that the commercial
prosperity of the Southern States will
before many years be assured a proper
system of railroad transportation. the
lack of which has greatly retarded their
progress. In the Western States east
of the Missouri River 10000 miles of
railroad were built, of which l 1921 miles
were ordinary gauge. OF this mileage,
however, 953 miles were built in Mime
sofa. Iowa and Missouri, leaving only
5i6 miles constructed in the States be-
tween the lakes and the the Mississippi
River. Taking the Southern States
where railroad facilities are VIGOROUSLY
lacking, and the country west of the
Mississippi River, where railroad con-
struction means the development of
valuable lands, there appears to have
been 3,O56 miles of useful railroad built,
leaving only 6S2 miles constructed in
that portion of the country where rail
roads have been already built to any
considerable extent. OF these 6S2 miles,
9t3 miles were built in Ohio, ia miles
in Indiana. 80 miles in Illinois, and So
niles in Michigan total for the four
States Of 47O miles. This leaves only
9i2 miles for the remaining States east

A NEW and valuable variety of celery
which originated near Newark, n. j.,
is attracting considerable attention
among market gardeners. 1t is called
the Golden Dwarf and in size and habit
of growth IS much the same as the
dwarf white kinds, except that when
blanched the heart, which is large and
full, is of a waXy, golden yellow, rem
dering it most striking and snowy
variety, for either market or private use.
1t is entirely solid and of most excellent
flavor and one of the best keepers dur
ing winter we have ever known. The
habitual daily use Of this esculent can
not be too highly recommended. 1t is
said to promote digestion, quieting, too,
the nerves, and is highly recommended
in connection with good nutritious food
as a sort of vegetable tonic. Canary
birds are very fond of it, being of a
delicate organization, easily frightened,
and subject occasionally to fits, they APP
pear to be benefited by it.

jolly language of the most captivating
of winter sports. Now and again, but
rarely, for the fates were kind last
night, load would sway wildly from
side to side for a moment in its course,
the steersman behind would give an IN
fortunate touch too much to right or
left, and, presto! all the Kings horses
and all the Kings men could not pre-
vent a plunge into the snow, or a free
and-easy roll down the slippery path.
But no one was hurt, and if there is one
thing more than another which tends to
make things pleasant on these occasions
it is the bon camaradeship engendered
by good upset.

THE various kinds of roots stored in
the cellar need looking after from time
to time. Turnips and beets may be
packed in dry sand and will keep well
until spring without growing, if the
cellar is not too warm. CabbageS re-
quire a cool place and should never be
stored in warm, dry cellar, since they
are liable to wither and decay.
