In one of the bazaars, says letter
from India, we saw some fakirs and devo-
tees. One of these remarkable fellows
had vowed to lie upon a bed of upright
nails for twenty-six years, aud of these he
had accomplished sixteen when we saw
him. His body was atteuuated and full
of sores resembling leprous spots. We
asked him for one of the nails which
pierced his miserable body. lie took enc
from the foot of the bed, refusing in every
instance to part with any of those which
gave him the most exquisite pain. An
other miserable devotee was holding a
flower pot AT arms length Judge of my
surprise when he told me he had held it
there for FIVE years, Another stood with
arm upliited, and no power to lower it or
move muscle, the member being dried,
stiff and dead, while the long finger nails,
like birds claws, penetrated the flesh on
his wrist. All of these fellows looked
mouldy and sad.

A REMARKABLE FIsH.-There was
lately on exhibition in Boston fish caught
about twelve miles from the Isles of Shoals
by Wallsce Wright, of the fishing schooner
Jennie p Phillips, from Swampscott. At
the time of its capture it was Is feet long
and weighed 2,430 pounds. In its stom-
ach were found Goldfish weighing so
pounds, two smaller Gods, and two coots
1t had large mouth, containing seven
rows of sharp teeth, and in general appear
ance was somewhat like shark, but what
is most singular is the fact of its being un-
commonly we'll supplied with respiratory
organs. 1t had not only mouth, but
gills, nostrils, and blow holes. While on
exhibition at Lynn the fish was examined
by several scientific gentlemen, but no one
had been able to classify it.

THE Best OF THE SEAsoN.-Some
seaman wandering along the Rehoboth
beach last winter, found drowned man.
They took the corpse up, carried it to
Captain Tredenick's barroom, stood it up
at the corner of the bar, and went out and
told Tredenick friend wanted to treat
the crowd The crowd drank and left.
To Tredenick's surprise he could get aeith-
er money nor answer from the corpse, and
becoming cnraged struck him. He fell
to the floor with thud. Becoming scar
ed, he called in the mans friends, and each
solemnly declared the fellow was dead.
Tredenick, white as a sheet and with
trembling voice, was at first dumb-founded,
but at last he exclaimed, "Well, did it in
self defence; he drew knife on me before
l struck him"

The imperial family of G Germany isquite
able to support itself. If the Crown Prince
were deprived of his inheritance he could
easily win bread and butter by his skill as
turner, while his eldest son, Prince Will
helm, is an excellent amateur artisan. On
the Emperor's cabinet arc several samples
of his dead grandson Waldemar's prof.
cheney as bookbinder This acquisition
of a trade is traditionary custom in the
royal family, which prescribes that every
prince of the blood shall learn some useful
haudicraft, so as to strengthen his spirit of
independence and make him wise through
actual contact with the material world.

The Only Platinum Worker in the Country

The only platinum worker in the United
States is Joaquin Bishop, of SugartOwn,
Chester county, Pa. The Association of
Mining Engineers made an excursion to
the works of Mr.. Bishop to see his work
ing Of the iatractable metal. MIR. Bishop,
who gets most of his supply of metal from
the Ural Mountains, in Russia, has been
working platinum for forty years. In
1915 he took premium, but at that time
the demand for platinum was so small that
it only occupied him one day in the month,
using the metal principally for rivets to
fasten artificial teeth. Before the engi-
neers Mr.. Bishop melted piece of plati-
mum with the ease that a plumber melts
lead. The intense heat may be imagined
when it is known that steel file held in
the blast burned like piece of wood. The
Russian Government used platinum in its
coinage until 1864, when about S2,5UO,-
600 worth of platinum coins had been
struck.

A Martial Ornament.

Hungarians are celebrated for their re-
markably fine mustaehes, aud are in the
haoit OF devoting much care to the culti-
yation Of this material ornament. The
national custom originated with a number
Of cavalry regiments who distinguished
themselves in the wars against the Turks,
aud whose colonies, finding that the fash
ion served to inspire the troopers with
manly pride and dashing galantry, made
the training aud eultiyating of their mus
taches regulation affair, A beardless
youth was excluded from cavalry service.
Here is the method employed, and which
is in daily use throughout the land among
men who set their pride upon the display
of fine curly and provokingly sticking
out mustaehe. After the morning absolu-
tion, aud while the beard is still wet, a
piece OF string is drawn across the face,
under the nose, and fastened across both
ears Both hands then twist the hair
around the string, to which an extra pull
is given, with a final fastening behind the
ears. In this ingenious condition of early
toilet, one may get comfortably get through
breakfast and lot of early work indoors,
aud emerge at noon with a more or less
fierce and martial countenance, the pride
Of the girls and the object of envious
swells ignorant of the plan. During the
French wars toward the end of the last
and the beginning of this century, there
was one Hungarian hussar regiment speci-
ally distinguished for the magni6cence and
ferceness of its mustaches. The regula-
tion exacted display of five inches of
hair, 10 corkscrew form and shape, on
each side of the upper lip, ard, when ma
lures supply proved insufficient. the regu-
lation length had to be made of bits of
horse-tail worked into pricking points at
each end by means OF silky mass of
grease and wax, which became known in
Paris during the restoration under the
elegant name of "Pommade Hongroise. "

PREACHING VS.. PRACTICE.
Written for the Democratic Adrocdte
BY ]. s. GIT.

As buds on the tree and fruit in the hand,
As clouds in the sky and rain on the land,
As glances oflove and marital rings,
So preaching and practice are different things
The tree may bud out and bear us no crop,
The sky may be sombre and shed not drop,
The maid may be loved and yet never wed.
And man point the way he fails eeT to tread.
How easy to say, but of hard to do;
We promise things good and great, it is true.
But can we affirm our word and our deed
Are true TO each other, like flower and seed
The beggar is told. be ye cloth ed and fed,
But huugers he still, and bare is his head;
The sick may o'erhear what pity feel
Yet words won't suffice his sorrow to heal.
To pray without faith, is prayer best unsaid
And faith without works is verify dead,
Profession is folly if practice be stunned
The bank of the heart despoiled oft fund
II all would do right, as brother to brother,
If words Of true love Of each act were the mothei
Then. then should We dwell in peace through hi
life,
And bury forever hate, evil. and strife,

Mr.. EDITOR For the first time in my life
| am tempted TO write communication for
publication. / do it with bleeding heart for
the cause of Christ and for the welfare of
humanity, am constrained to lift my voice
against one of the prevailing evils of the day.
For the last two weeks-like those homely and
unsighty birds we sometimes see collected
together sitting on fences and trees while
passing through the country-have those vul-
lures swooped down as 1t were and gathered
together at the premises of Adam Small, in
Centre twp, in the form of life insurance
agents, doctors, money sharks and gamblers in
human life with view of bribing him and his
wife to give their consent to take out policies
on Mrs. Small's life, and che is now sick and
not able to raise off of her chair and walk
across her room without some one to aid her.
On last Wednesday the general agent of the
remarkable association recently formed in
Ickesburg visited SmalPs and on the following
day four doctors met there also, on which day
terms were agreed upon between the parties to
take out policies ON Mother Small's life. She
is now In the market in the new association in
Ickesburg, and am sorry to say that connect
ed with this association is an itinerant minister
of the Gospel who ought to be sounding the
Gospel trumpet warning sinners of their i'm
pending danger and should be travelling over
the hills and mountains and through the
valleys in pursuit of the lost and perishing,
instead of locating and traversing the country
in search of the aged. the infirm, the sick and
the dying to get subjects to victimize and
speculate upon, taking from the unwary their
hard earned money. 1t is high time that those
who are in authority would devise measures to
stay the evils of speculative life insurance
organization.
ONE WHO KNOWS.
P.S.-Since the above has been written,
Mother Small has died aud has gone we trust
where the wicked cease from troubling her and
where the weary are at rest.

Clara Seiders, young lady aged about
nineteen years, domestic in the family
of George Noll, Sr., residing about three
miles northeast of Millersburg, Dauphin
county, met with sad and unexpected
death few days ago, under peculiar
circumstances. Being subject to epileptic
attacks, or falling fits, and alone in the
spring house, engaged in washing, it is
supposed that, under one of these at
tacks, she fell upon the floor, with her
head resting in the milk trough, where
she was found lying on her face, and
life extinct, about eight o'clock in the
morning. The depth of the water in
which her head lay when found. was a
trfle over four inches.
