Some of these tortures consist in hav-
ing the tongue bored with red-hot
iron, and this was at one time self
torture so popular that under clump
of banyan-trees near the temple of the
bull-god at Chinsurah the devo ees
used to range themselves in long line
in order to get the operation performed
by blacksmith, who bore the re equation
of not only doing it etfectually, which
was we'll, but also-what was ,ually
important among the poverty stricken
Fakirs cheaply. To walk with parched
peas in your shoes was in the days of
severe pennance, held to be most
reputable punishment for sins divers
and many. But the Hlndoo Fakir
quite outstips the European one. A

who walked up and down in front of a

his sandals nailed to his feet with iron
spikes, which projected above the in
step. Others will make the pilgrimage
to shrine, not on foot, but by rolling
their bodies along the road the whole
of the way, by ad ancing on their
backs pushing themselves along by
their heels, on their hands and feet
and by various other !ually incon-
venient means of progression. Others
will sit motionless in one place until
the joints of their limbs get so stiff that
they cannot bend them, or with hands
clenched until the mai s grow through
the flesh, or by holding the arm by
means of support in such position
that in time it withers. There is really
no end to the ingenuity of these
deyotees in INJECTING long and lasting
tortures on themselves without pre-
cipitating death, which would be a
pleasure in comparison, and hence not
so meritorious in the eyes of the gods.
Another method of torture which
must be well known to my readers by
means of the illustrations of it, which
are stock figures in missionary publ
cations-is that in which hooks are in
serted in muscles of the devotees'
backs and then number OF them are
swung in an apparatus not uln Ike the
''merry- go-rodnd'' seen at English
fairs, only in this case the sole support
by which the victim is suspended in

Mr.. Vanderbilt's wealth has been
carefully computed to be $3.50, 000,0)0;
but Jay Gould $ pile must be far greater
