An Imposinr Ceremony.

A novel and imposing ceremony took place on
April Is at the Widyoda Buddhist College, in
Colombo, Ceylon, by which young and accom-
plished English lady named Mary Flynn formal
ly became professional follower of Lord Bud
dha. She was dressed in an elegant robe of black
silk, sitting in the midst of crowd of yellow
robbed Buddhist priests and repeating the Pam
sill. The ceremony began by the high priest ex-
amining the fair candidate as to the reasons that
led her to desire to accept Buddhism as her
faith, to which Miss FLYNN answered that after
having studied various religious systems of the
world, she found the Buddhistic esoteric phil
osophy as being most in accordance with her
own reason and common sense. Other ques-
tions having been satisfactorily answered by
her. the high priest administered to her the five
precepts," which Miss FLYNN promised to observe
The ceremony ended by the chanting of .Ratana

Babyhood.


The approach of the Fourth of July moves us
to remind mothers and fathers alike that boys
may and should be boys all over on that day, with
out incurring the slightest risk of the accidents
which have so often served to fill the minds of
parents with dreadful forebodings of the occasion.
Few boys of the ages with which Babyhood is
especially concerned should be intrusted with
FIRE works; but it would be little less than cruel
to expect them to stand aloof from all the cele-
brations of the day which their older brothers,
and sisters, and neighbors. enter into. 1t is
worthy of little study and forethought to make
ample provision for their enjoyment in the way
of noise making, since so many harmless paper
snappers, pop guns, etc., are obtainable. A few
decorations Of flags, bunting, Chinese lanterns
and little sort of programme for different parts
of the day, which should include the participa-
ton of father and mother, will afford delight for
them out of all proportion to the small effort ex-
pended. Let their earliest recollections be asso-
ciated with the 4th of July as children of a
larger growth remember 1.-THE best festival in
the whole year, the peculiar flavor of it most
eagerly anticipated and longest remembered.

scHooLMaRms KISSING NEGROES.

A Disgusting Scene at q Railroad Station In

Last Friday mornings Augusta bound train
rolled up to the depot at McNeils on time, and
the passengers and those OF the citizens congre-
gated there for business witnessed a sight that
either froze them with astonshment or made
them very sick at their stomachs AS we are in

were at the station to board the
train, having determined to go NORTH
to spend their summer vacation The
platform was black and redolent with negro men,
women and children, the latter composing the
scholors of the institution presided over by these
schoolmarms The hour of parting having ar

affectcnately said as TIE hearty hand shaking
went round, and sorrowful adieus were hidden.

A Talk with Blacksmith Murphy, the Shoer of
Trotting Horses.
PHILADELPHIA News.
ITO shoe fast horse takes as much care and
precision as to fit ladys foot" said Mr.. John
Murphy, the we'll known horseshoer. 1.-THE ma
jority of race horses that come to this city are
shod in this shop. John Spian was here early
this morning with Belle F. and another fast
horse. He was the driver of Rarus, you will re-
member, and is the owner of some good horses on
the track now. In this shop have shod St.
Julien, Trinket, Darby, Hopeful, Hannis, the
noted stallion Edwin Thorne and score of
others that cannot remember"
rs there much difference in the shoes of
horsesp
"All the difference in the world. A big
draught horse like the Percheron will take a
shoe weighing two and one-half pounds, made of
iron with toe cork and heels. The toe cork is
the piece of iron set on the head or toe of the
shoe A horse that travels in a business wagon
or carriage will take twenty ounce shoe, or
one and quarter pound shoe. These shoes are
made heavy and are about an inch in width.
IA trotting horses shoe is entirely different.
They do not weigh more than from fourteen to
sixteen ounces. The shoes on the hind feet are
invariably made of STEEL and those in front are
often of the same metal. There is no toe cork
on trotter's shoes, and but slight rise In the
back part of them for a heel
"The shoes of running horses are called plates.
They weigh but four or five ounces, are perfectly
fat, and are only about half inch wide all the
way round and as thin as possible They are
put on to strengthen the hoof and keep it from
breaking, but they are an inch longer than the
foot behind. This is to give power and support
to the tendons of the leg"
Noticing number of curiously shaped and
accommodating shoes, the News gatherer
asked in perfect innocence if they were for
crippled horses
The young man smilingly replied: ''No, they
are for trotting horses. There is great deal of
difference in the feet of fast horses just as much
as there is in the feet of men. Seine
horses hoofs we have to cover with more
weight on the outside of the shoe than the
inside, some vice versa, some with the heaviest
part of the shoe in front, others behind. Many
horses spread their feet out in trotting others
work close with their feet and unless they are
shod perfectly they will go lame. There may
be half-dozen fine thoroughbreds brought into
the shop tomorrow morning and not one of
them be sbod alike.

Once Upon a Time.

Oh anything might happen then
Once upon a time
And just poor. common little girls
Might wear white rose wreaths on their curls;
And satin frocks looped daintily.
And they might meet prince at noon,
Straight from his kingdom in the moon,
Come TO WOO right CALAMITY.
Oh, anything might happen then
Once upon time.
But nothing, nothing happens now,
In this present time.
And common little girls, alas!
Must hurry from the looking,glass,
And wash the china daintily;
In cap and gloves, brush dust away,
While in the moon the prince must stay,
And WOO the moon-m maids gallantly.
All, nothing, nothing happens now,
In this present time!
Good Cheer.

Song OF the Pines.

Oh song so strange, oh song so sad,
The pines keep ever chanting.
Why is it when the world is glad
Seems sorrow TO be haunting
These dark old woods in Southern land,
Where trees grow tall, unbending,
And solitude becometh grand
When years have brought no endingl
Is nature closer to us herel
We think of wise old sages.
Who found her teachings always clear.
Far back in those dim ages
She sympathized with human woe
And set to music willing
The melody so sad and low
These lonely woods is filing.

Man-Eating in sumatra.

Marsden, in his account of Sumatra,
says that, although he had heard reports
of the cannibal habits of some of the
tribes, he had always dircredited
them until the truth of the statement
was made entirely clear to him. He
says that the Battas, one of the peoples
of Sumatra, eat human flesh regularly,
not to satisfy the cravings of hunger,
but as sort of ceremony to show their
detestation of certain crimes by this
most ignominious punishment, and as
a savage display Of revenge and insult
to their unfortunate enemies. People
. killed or badly wounded by them in
war are eaten, and the captured sold
as slaves. These same Battas show a
certain amount of culinary art in the
preparation of this food for they broil
the flesh over brisk fire, and flavor it
with salt, lemon, and red pepper.
A friend of the writer's, who for
more than forty years has been in the
employ of the Dutch Government, bears
personal witness to the prevalence Of
the custom in Sumatra up till recent
times. He was once making scientific
Investigations in the interior of that is
land, and was being entertained in the
most hospitable manner by the native
rajah, or chief, of the place he was
then in A feast had been made to
which he was hidden, and to which he
went, taking his own native servant
with him. 1he banquet had proceeded
for some time without interruption,
when at last, as crown of the feast,
beautiful brown roast joint was brought
from the back of the house to the open,
airy place where the repast was being
held. This was cut up without re-
mark and handed round, and the Dutch
gentleman was on the point of eating
his portion, having raised part of it to
his lips, when his servant rushed for
ward and stopped him, saying, ''Mas-
ter, master, do not eat; it is boyr'
The chief, on being questioned, admit
ted, with no small pride at the extent
of his hospitality. that, hearing that the
white man would feast with him, he
had ordered young boy to be killed
and cooked in his honor, as the great
