A peculiarly of the churches in India
is the punkah. which is framework of
wood covered with cloth and with a
deep white frill Rows of these hang
from end to end of the church, sus-
pended from the ceiling, and are swung
by ropes. which pass through holes il
the wall. and are pulled by natives, Gin
private houses there are relays of pun
kah coolies, who relieve guard night and
day. Why some simple machine has
never been devised to do this tedious
work is matter for wonder, but some
one suggests that no machine would do it
for sixpence day, which is the wage of
these men-certainly none would be so
noiseless. And the gentle Hindu has
no objection to work that merely in
wolves sitting still and pulling rope.
The effect of these rows of great. white
frilled fans, chasing one another irregn-
larly up and down the church, is posi-
lively bewildering. Sometimes they
seem to overtake those in front of them.
then they are just left behind.
After while, as you watch them, the
effect becomes soporitic. To the parson
it must be exceedingly irksome to
preach TO an invisible congregation,
now revealed for second, now again
hidden in white moving clouds of cot

Every one here has a pair of these
ungain!y shoes-men, women and chill
dren. A little fellow not three years of
age has dainty little pair, and can use
them, too. When the bell rings for
school children can be seen in every d.
rection gliding over the glistening snow
on their way to school. 1t is favorite
amusement with the young people to
go eoasting down hill. Often two will
get on one pair of shoes, the gentleman
guides the little craft, and away they
go, sometimes all right, but as often into
deep snowdrift, which they do not
seem to mind, but, like little children,
climb the hill and try it over again.
Those working mines, far up in the
mountains, could not get along without
these useful shoes They would be held
prisoners as securely by these walls and
banks of snow as if in some prison cell,
inclosed with walls of stone.
Those who have mastered the art OF
snow-shoeing can go very fast on them,
and find it much easier to go over these
mountains in the winter than in the
summer time. There is a Norwegian
here who is willing to wager that he can
90 fifty miles across the country in a
day of ten hours, but that is much faster
than the majority of skee runners can
do. They will come across the great
! continental divide, going far above
timber line, and travel twenty-five miles
in winters day. 1t is thrilling and
picturesque scene to see the sturdy

Snow Shoes in the West.

We are up in the Rocky Mountains
about ten thousand feet above sea level
TIE winters are very long, and the snow
falls to such great depth that snow
she's are necessity They enable one
to I'm lightly and rapidly over the snow,
up tie steep mountain side, down into
deep gulches and ravine:, and over I'M
mense drifts where it would be impossi-
BILE to go without them, sometimes pass
ng over the tops of willows and trees
from fifteen to twenty feet in height.
They are the only known thing ever
invented to faciiitats walking on soft
snow, and it seems nothing better or
simpler could be contriyed.
The Norwegian shoe, or skee runner,
is mostly used here, although few pre-
fer the Canadian. or web shoe, for long
journeys over CLASSY snow or when
going up steep mountain. They consist
Of a flat wooden sysl frame, woven with
strong cord OF th"ngs; the center bears
the weight of the body. These shoes
are not more than four feet in length,
and half as wise at the broadcast part.
The Norwegian ahoe is of very different
pattern, aud greatly superior both as
rconomzers O. strength and in point OF
speed They are much more simple and
easily made, consisting of piece of
tough. strong wood, from ten to four
teen fee; ir loagth and from four to six
inches If width, smoothly polished on
the under SIDE, pointed al the front end,
and bent upward, and in the center
strap toe the foot, which is sometimes
mad to lace to fit the foot better. On
level ground the skce runner pushes
| himself along by meals of long staff,
which also helps him to regulate his
speed when going down hill.
Those not accustomed to the use of
snow shoes are liable to accidents and
various mishaps, ludicrous, but not
often serious, as the snow is so deep it
covers all rocks and fallen timber, CIV
ing one a soft place to alight in. At
first use they seem quite unmanageable,
and especially SO if going down hill. A
friend giving his experience in learning
their use said: ''At one time as l was
coming like lightning down a steep
mountain | saw [ was making a bee
line for large tree. l was unable to
guide myself and avoid collision. My
only alternative was to throw myself
into the snow, which | did, and when my
companion flew past me was so buried
in the snow that my feet were about all
that was visible. | extricated myself as
soon as possible and waded around in the
snow after my shoes. Soon was ready

could, when suddenly my feet began to

editices around it were finished elegant

statuary, generally of NEUROLOGICAL

of the long, symbolic stories. These
edifices were all constructed very openly

eXpend money in this sort of embellish-

Winter is a favorable season to pro-
cure the crooked roots and gnarled
branches from which rustic ornaments
are made. The woods and swamps are
full of them and if any time the wagon

the time devoted to hunting up the roots
and branches will hardly be missed.
With the necessary material at hand.
any one possessed of natural taste
and an ordinary amount of mechanical
skill can, during rainy days and long
winter evenings, construct rustic benches
and chairs for the lawn and verauda,
and hanging baskets, brackets and .low-
er-boxes for the windows. The erection
of a rustic harbor requires more skill
ana labor than do the articles mem
