HINDOO SUPERSTITION.
III Met by Any EVIL Portent They Return
Home and Begin Afresh.

The Hindoos are early risers. In the
warm season-eXtending from April to
October-they sleep either upon the
housetop or in the courtyard, or in the
veranda, if rain should be threatening,
and are usually up at five o'clock or
earlier in the morning. In the cold
weather, when they sleep within doors,
they rise later, but they are out before
seven. Rising in the morning while but
half awake, the Hindoo repeats the
name of Rama several times. Happen
ing to yawn he Immediately fillips his
thumb and middle finger, though he
does not know why.
He prepares for his morning toilet.
He plucks n twig from the bitter Neem
tree, breaks off Il span length of it,
crushes one end between his teeth, and
eXtemporizes toothbrush. He next
draws up water from the well in the yard
with an iron bucket, and prepares to
wash his hands and face. This is quick
ly done; he then throws on an extra

neighborly gossip by the way, he re-
pairs to his place of business.
While going he will seduously avoid
those signs and sounds which may
augur i'll for the day. Should one
sneeze, or should he hear the cawing
of n crow, or the cry of kite, or should
he meet an Gilman, or one blind or
lame, or see cat cross his path he
would be greatly distressed as to the
day before him. On the other hand, il
fox crosses his path, If he hears Il
gong or shell summoning him to wor-
ship, or if he meets a Brahman with
his head uncovered he would rejoice,
hailing it as auspicious. Some are so
superstitious that if any evil portent
occurs on the way they would return
home, have a smoke, or chew betel
leaf and proceed afresh.

RAISING GOOD HORSES.
Tho Most Profitable Industry for Farmer
with u Little Capital.

| Tho Most Profitable Industry for Farmers
with n Little Capital.
just now there is no one crop pro-
duced on the farm that begins to pay
the profit realized from well-bred
horses. The farmer is invited to look
over the whole field and then say if it
is not so. Nor is the demand all for
one kind by any manner of means All
that is called for is something good; be
il roadster, carriage or draft. The day
Of the scrub in horse-breeding has
passed, that is to say, the demand all
along the buying line being for some
thing good, the producer, the farmer
breeder must, in order to meet the
market, produce what is wanted, if he
wishes to breed and sell at profit.
There is room for all the good breeds
known to American farmers because
they each have place which they can
fill to advantage. The farmer who
trots off to town with span of 1900
pound Percherons or Clydes shows not
alone his good sense but his thrift,
because when called upon they will
pull u heavier load over the road, be
it good or bad, than "a pair of little
miserable scrubs. On the same prin-
ciple the man who has pair of Cleve-
land bays in front of his barouche or
carriage, has style, pluck, courage and
grit. They can get over the ground at
a ten-mile pace for hours without feel
ing fatigue, and then after feeding and
bit of rest turn around and go back
again. And what is true of these is
pre-eminently true of the American
.rotter in whom we have concentra-
tion of courage and vim, q plucky and
enduring fellow that will measurably
go as fast as the road will permit, and
never give up so long as the power of
endurance lasts.
But let us be friendly one with the
other Every man to his taste. We
do not all care for trotters. some even
believe it sinful to breed horse that
can outstrip his neighbor on the road,
much more show him on the race track.
Sinful men have queer views Of other
mems practices, but tolerate their own
with graciousness that is both "child-
like and bland" They forget the old
maxim, there are none good" but are
carried away with species of right
eousness unknown to any but them
selves. Be IL then our duty to breed
only the best, seeing that whatever We
produce of that character is wanted at
paying and profitable prices, and that
it is the horses turn just now. Once
it was hemp and tobacco, then it was
Shorthorn cattle; these were for a short
time overshadowed by the Herefords,
then the black doddies came to the
front until we exhausted the beef cat
tie supply. The noblest Roman OF
them all has the field to-day, and the
demand is for good horses. --Colman's

The Vanderbilt system of Railways.

Few persons have any conception of the
magnitude of the interests covered by lhe
above title, and very few even among the
railway fraternity are aware Of how fully
this vast syster. occupies the field in which
it is located; but If you will take n map and
trace out, first, the New York Central d
Hudson River; second, the Boston q
Albany; third, the Lake Shore q Mich
igan Southern; fourth the Michigan
Central; fifth, the Cleveland, Cincin-
natl, Chicago & st. Louis formerly the
"Bee Line" and 'Big Four'') railroads,
you will be impressed with the wonderful
foresight of the men who designed and ex-
ecuted the plan to operate under uniform
policy, and practically n common control, a
system of railways that should furnish unsur-
passed transportation facilities to the great
commercial empire outlined above, and
q trip over this grand aggregation will
convince the most skeptical that the Van
derbilt System of Railways, of which
the New York Central q Hudson River
Railroad is the main stem, traverses
the very heart of the business por-
ton of this continent, touching, either di-
rectly or through its immediate connec-
tions, all the important commercial centerS
of the country, and Offering to health, pleas

not equalled by any similar institution in

Confidence Begot of Success.

So confident are the manufacturers of that
world-famed remedy, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, that it will do all that
they represent, in the cure of liver, blood
and lung diseases, that, after witnessing its
thousands of cures for many years past,
they now feel warranted in selling it (as
they are doing, through druggists) under a
positive guarantee Of its giving satisfaction
in every case, or money paid for it will be
refunded. No medicine of ordinary merit
could be sold under such severe conditions
with profit TO its proprietors, and no other
medicine for the diseases for which it is
recommended was ever before sold under a
guarantee of cure or no pay. In all blood
taints and impurities of whatever name or
nature, it is most positive in its curative eff
fects. Pimples, blotches, eruptions and all
skin and scalp diseases are radically cured
by this wonderful medicine. Scrofulous
diseases may affect the glands, causing
swellings or tumors; the bones, causing
'fever-sores, " 'white swellings' or ship
joint discase;' or the tissues of the lungs,
causing pulmonary consumption. No mat
ter in which one of its myriad forms it crops
ont, or manlfests itself, Golden Medical
Discovery will curei if used perseveringly
and in time.

A .SALAD-EATING RACE.
A Brief Review of the Dietary of tin
French Peasantry.

A Brief Review of the Dietary of tho
French Peasantry.
Bread, and plenty of it, is the grand
foundation of his dietary. Potatoes are
admitted as an addition and a change,
but not, as in Ireland, as the staff of
life. Salad in unlimited quantity and
frequency from the beginning to the
end of its season; mache, corn salad or
lamb lettuce--a great favorite. al
though, being eaten, it leaves an after
taste of ones having swallowed drugs

bread. "How often can you eat saladp"

times day. monsieur, so long as it
lasts" was the answer. French beans

great request. either hot as dinner
dish, or cold dressed as salad with oil
and vinegar. Boiled haricots, also,
plain, hot, or dressed as salad cold,
come in as substantial mess in win
ter. An Indispensable repast with
the French working peasant is his
collation." a solid slice of bread

afternoon and frequently taken with
him or carried out to him in the fields

leaf OF sorrel or lettuce laid on it as a
thumb piece; or their place is taken
by few spring onions-the Trimmings

VINCENT DE PAUL.
Tho Exemplary Life of . Famous sixteenth
Century Hero.

/
In 1876, in a village within the
shadow OF the Pyrean peaks, Vincent
de Paul was born. As boy he was
distinguished for his piety and gen.
erosity. Returning from the mill he
would distribute Aandfuls OF corn
among the poor whom he met, and
once having accumulated some silver
coins he gave them all to a mendicant.
Early evincing desire for knowl-
edge, his father took him from sheep
tending to n school in Dax. At sixteen
he became sub-tutor and prepared to
enter the priesthood, and at twenty
nine a legacy was bequeathed him.
One of the mon in possession of it fled
to Marseilles to avoid payment. Vim
cent followed, but mercifully exacted
only portion of the debt.
In returning he took ship to Mar
bonne, and in the Gulf of Lyons they
were attacked by Barbafy corsairs.
Surrendering only after the fiercest
resistance, they were carried to Tunis
and sold as slaves by their captors, at
excruciating torture.
Vincent, having been transferred
several times, was finally liberated and
taken to Rome by a renegade of Nice,
whom he had reclaimed.
His life is a beautiful example of
noble, heroic self-sacrifce All his
possessions were given to the poor and
he went about instructing and COM
forting.
In Rome he visited the cells of the
conciergerie, had the inmates lodged
in clean. wholesome apartments, and
taught them to pray. He instructed
the floating prisons, compared with
which the conciergerie appeared .
palace. Passing between the chained
ranks his tender heart bled at sight of
the despair of some and stoicism of
others. One in particular drew his at
tention. Upon inquiry he discovered
that this man had left wife and five
little children to die of want during
his Imprisonment. Vincent deliberated
and then proposed that the prisoner
go free, Offering himself to fill the
vacancy thus occasioned. Finally the
officer consented, clothes were changed.
and while the liberated prisoner sought
his loved ones Vincent, bound with
calling letters, piled his oar on board
the dismal ship.
There he remained until his release
was obtained by friend who dis
covered his whereabouts. He now
erected hospital for sick and dying
galley slaves. Soon after was estab-
lished a refuge for homeless children.
He picked up little waits in the
streets, and, nestled under his long
cloak, were carried TO that comfortable
home. In war, famine, pestilence and
slavery his heroism never deserted
him, and during the great inundation
of the Seine he and his band rowed
out over the treacherous waters amid
terrible currents, taking food to those
in half-submerged houses. His heart
was filed with love for God and man.
and when, in his eightieth year, the
summons came, he died as he had
lived-a true hero--Philadelph Press.

HOW TO STAND WE'LL
A Thing Essential to Women who wish to
BE Handsome.

a Thing Essential to Women Who Wish to
BE Handsome.
Women who wish to preserve the
slimness and contour OF their figure
must begin by learning to stand we'll,
says writer in Dress. That is ex-
planned to mean the throwing forward
and upward of the chest, the fluttening
of the back, with the shoulder blades
held in their proper places, and the
definite curving in of the small of the
back, thus throwing the whole weight
of the body upon the hips. No other
women hold themselves so woll rs the
aristocratic English women. Much OF
their beauty lies in their proud car
riage, the delicate ercctness of their
figures and the fine poise of their
heads.
The same aristocratic carriage is
within the rearh of any American girl
who takes the pains TO have it; it is
only the question OF few years of
eternal vigilance, never relaxing her
watchfulnoss over herself, and, sitting
or standing, always preserving her
eroctness and poise, the result being
that at the end of that time it has be-
come second nature to her, and she
never afterwards loses it, This, in q
great measure, preserves the figure, be-
cause it keeps the muscles firm and
well strung, and prevents the sinking
down Of the flesh around the waist and
hips, so common in women over thirty,
and which it is perfectly easy TO es-
cape. Another thing to avoid is bad
habit OF going upstairs, which most
women do, bent forward, with the chest

PRUDENT SWALLOWS.
Why They No Longer Take Up Summer
Quarters In France.

Why They No Longer Take Up Summer
Quarters In France.
If birds will only resort to practical
measures, and actually "boycott" those
countries which destroy them for their
plumage, there is yet hope that the
law will step in and protect them, for
economical reasons alone. 1t is a fact
that the swallows have taken this sem
sible precaution, as far as feather
loving France is concerned, and have
apparently decided not to take up any
longer their summer quarters there.
Hitherto the tougbness OF their flesh
has preserved them from the cook, and
a popular superstition saves their
nests, but the milliners. who use their
feathers for trimming, some years ago
organized against them new plan of
campaign.
The department of the Bouches-du-
Rhone is one of the great landing places
of swallows coming from Africa, and
there deadly engines formed by wires
connected with electric batteries were
arranged to await them. The birds,
tired out by their flight over the Medi-
terranean, perch on the wires, and are
instantly struck dead. Their bodies
are then prepared for the milliner, and
crates containing thousands of them
are sent to Paris every year.
This spring, however, with a strange
instinct for preservation, tbsy have
not sought that coast, but havs landed
either to the west or the east OF it. and
have gone in much larger numbers than
was their wont to other parts Of Europe.
The French Geological Society, which
puts forth an earnest petition to the
government in their behalf. says that
places which were once thronged with
swallows are quito deserted by them,
though there has been no falling off in
the number OF gnats and other insects
on which they live. Great injury would
be done to French agriculture by in
sects II the birds should avoid the
country.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that their
petition will be needed. and the deadly
batteries and wires will be removed

means OF checking this tendency, or of re-
