watch about the dead girl and wrote
the following, which combines religion
and philosophy:

Tie folded hands. the awful calm, the cheek
so pale and chill:
The IDS that Will not lift again. though we
may call and call,
The strange white solltuue vi paw '""'
settles over all
We know not what IL means. dear, this de-
ISOLATE heart-pain;
This dread TO take our daily way ana Walk
We know not to what other sphere the

Nor why we're left to wonder still, and why
We do not know.
But this we know our loved and dead. II
they should come this day
should come and ask us, what Is HE "
not one ofus could say.
Life is mystery as deep as ever death can
Yet, oh, how sweet 1t is to us, this life we

Then might they say-these Vanlsheu
ones-aud blessed is the thought!

be had nothing to do. The young Rus
sian diplomat had performed the work
as we'll as il be had been skilful sur
geon. The surgeon. also added that
there was no danger.
The dog was undoubtedly mad. It
tore everything to pieces In the room
where it was confined and died In nor
rible agony. General Beals says that
neither his daughter nor her husband
have ever felt the slightest symptoms
of trouble resulting from this accident:
lie says that his daughter determined
from the first that she would not allow
her mind to dwell upon it. She
remembered how her father had
coursgeously fought of hydrophobia,
and she was fully resolved that no men
tai disturbance or worry upon her part
should throw open the gate to the ap-
proach of this terrible disease. Gene
raj Beale did not mean to say that
there was no such thing as real hydro
pbobia upon the part of human beings,
but he sincerely believes that in the ma
iority of cases it results largely from
fright and mental depression.

Ancient Kighlanders.

lOlQDuck, OUhH icicbAePh'I
The ancient Highlsnders were tall,
robust, well-formed, and had remarks
bly, hardy habits. In particular, they
felt great indifference to cold, and
thought nothing Of sleeping outside IL
the severity Of winter. Burt, who re-
sided among them, and wrote in the
year 1925, relates that he had seen the
places which they occupied, and which
were known by being free from snow
that deeply covered the ground except
where the heat of their bodies had
melted it. The same writer represents
q chief AS giving offence to his clan
by his degenerscy in forming the
snow into pillow before he
lay down. The HighlsnderS were
so accustomed to sleep In the
open air that the want of shelter WAS
Of little consequence to them. 1t was
usual before lying down to dip their
plaids in water, by which the cloth was
less pervious to the wind, and the heA
of them produced Q warmth, which the
woollen if dry could not afford. ms
hardness became allied to the peculiar
costume of the plaid and the philaoeg'
and the two are noticed conformity IN
old historical accounts Of their
appearance. Beague, q Frenchmsn
who wrote o history OF the
campaign in Scotland in lo4o,
printed in Paris in 1856, states that a.

Legendary Weapons I'm the fedas.
lrtr

Curious and interesting particulars.oi
the actual construction of legendary
weapons are found in some Of the Vedas
and the commentaries on the ancient
writings. The bows varied in length
from the length Of mans arm to four
cubits or six feet, of which the latter
dimension was considered the best.
They were made of metal, horn, or
wood; but the best bows were con-
structed from the bamboo cut at the end
of autumn. The arrows also varied in
length from three feet to five or six.
They were tipped with steel points
variously shaped, needle or lance
pointed, semicircular, dentiform, dou-
ble-edged, or jagged like saw,
and these forms of points are to-
dsy to be found on the arrows Of
many Of the aboriginal tribes OF India.
The shafts were creased or anointed to
facilitate their fight but they never
appear to have been poisoned. Some
were altogether made Of iron, and it is
perhaps those to which Curtius alludes
when he says that some of the Indian
srchers shot with arrows which were
too heavy to be very manageable. One
Characteristic Of the archery Of the
ancient Hindus seems to have been
peculiar to them alone, which
consisted in shooting q number
of arrows at once, from four to nine at
a time. The swords were, as in later
days, Of various shapes and sizes, and
many localities were credited with pro-
ducirg the best blades. Those of Ben
sal and Behar were praised as tough
and capable of taking fine edge. The
sword considered in the Veda OF the best
size must have been two-handed we a.
poD, as it was fifty fingers long, with
hilt guarded by an iron netting, pro-
badly resembling the modern psta,
or the long kanda of the Rajput. There
does not appear to have been any spe-
cisl distribution Of weapons to combat
ants of different ranks, though bows and
arrows, maces, jsvelins, swords, and
shields seem to have been the principal
arms of the chiefs, who vent to battle
mounted on chariots, whilc their fol-
lowers carried in addition spears and
axes of various forms, and other mis-
siles of different kinds.

ecloTs. They hsvs chiefly purple and

mantles or plaids Of divers colors. They
love chiefly purple. The same custom
