sacred books: @The lie Of man was saved

acted a much less manly part.
Almost all the great religions OF the
world have embraced trinIty-nOtabiy
those Of Egypt. Persia and buddhism
and Brahminism forms no exception. The
Indian trinity consists OF Brahma' the Gre
aGoE OF all things through the power OF
prayer; Yishnu. who mediates between
the deitIes and the lower races Of men, or
demons. and who represents the protecting
and preserving principle; and Sivas the
Divine Spirit who is the power that directs
the eternal movement OF existence and OF
dissolution. This triad form Of deity seems
the result OF an effort to unite IN one faith
all the various beliefs Of India as against
the BuddhisUs. Brahma is now little WOr-
SHIPPED, the mass of the people bowling
d own to Christina, an incarn nation Of Wish
nu. and other gods. Christina. whose dis
cipl6s gave him the name of Jezeus-pure
ess ence-Was born Of the virgin DeYan-
aguy. He was one OF the worlds greatest
teachers and has LETT a profound impress
sion upon the people OfIndias who worship
him as god.
Juggernaut is one OF the inearnations of
Vishnus and is WOrshiped in the month Of
June. His idols are extremely ugly and of
vast size. Formerly thousands of pill
grims sacrificed their lives by throwing
themselves under the wheels of his trj-
umphant car as it was drawn through the
streets.
The Hindoos have a curious respect Tor
the COW, amounting almost to positive
worship. To kill one Of these sacred ami
mails is a far greater crime than to murder
a person belonging to one OF the lower
castles. It is no uncommon sight to see a
group OF Hindoos on their knees before a
COW, seemingly engaged IN ecstatic adOr-
alton.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 23. The
weather crop bulletin issued tonight
says: The weather during the past
week in Minnesota and Dakota was too
cool for late crops. Although wheat
has been nearly all cut, some fields late
sown, in the extreme north, have been
injured by frost. Light frosts also ex-
tended over tine extreme northern pOr-
tions of Iowa and Michigan, but caused
no material damage. The recent
rains have greatly improved the
condition of crops throughout the
corn belt, extending from Ohio
westward to Kansas and Nebraska, and
in this section the conditions of corn
and potatoes are much improved, and
the ground is in good condition for
plowing. Very light showers occurred
in Texas. and northward to Dakota.
The rainfall for the season continues
in excess generally over the lake region,
the Ohio, and Central Mississippi val
leys; in the Middle Atlantic states and
Northern New England. Less than 60
per cent of the normal rainfall has oc-
Cured in Kansas. and less than rs per
cent is reported from Northern Missouri,
Southwestern Iowa, Southern Dakota,
and on the east guilt coast. Southeast
New England has also had less than rs
per cent of the normal rainfall. Re-
ports from the Pacific coast indicate
that the weather during the past week
has been unusually favorable for secur-
ing crops. Wheat, oats and barley are
turning out extra we'll in Oregon.
Grapes are ripening, with prospect of
large yield. An abundant hop crop Of
superior quality is reported from Cali
fornia and Oregon.

Special to the Globe.
GLENDALE, n. D., Aug. 23.-Thomas
Seton, mayor of this city, was made
chairman of the legislative committee
for North Dakota, at the irrigation con-
vention recently held at Aberdeen. He
is now at work drafting a memorial to
Gov. Miller asking him to call special
session of the legislature. This me-
mortal will be circulated throughout
the state for signatures. 1t is the in
tention to secure an expression of senti-
ment on the question from every county
and make the request strong enough so
that the governor will feel justified In
issuing the call. He has the power
under the constitution to convene the
legislature in special session on extra
ordinary occasions, and as the irrigation
question has become of vital in
terest to every citizen of the state, it is
held that the proposed action is neces
sary. The regular session does not
convene Until January. The object is
to secure the passage Of law which
will enable counties to bond for irrIga
ton purposes. The plan favored is to
have each county sink about thirty wells,
which it shall own and manage, charg-
ing customers reasonable price for the
use of the water. The maximum
amount for which bonds are to be is
sued should not, in the opinion of the
committee, succeed $4,000 in each
county. but the theory contemplates the
sinking of additional wells as fast as
the earnings from the original thirty
will permit. There is no doubt what
ever as to the ability of the various
counties to float a per cent bond is

JUST TEN DAYS HENCE.
Senators to Vote on the Tariff Bill
Sept. 3.


WASHINGTON, Aug, %. = Senator
German, chairman of the Democratic
caucus, says that no agreement has
been reached respecting the date when
a vote shall be taken on the tariff bill.
The debate, he says, will continue, in
pursuance Of the policy adopted by the
Democratic caucus held this session,
and applied to the Blair bill, the Mon
tana election case and other subjects.
When it is thought that there has been
a sufficient, if not a satisfactory and
thorough discussion of the tariff bill,
the Democrats will agree, in accordance
with the custom of the senate, to take
vote upon it. The question has been
privately under consideration on both
sides of the chamber and numerous
dates suggested, but no conclusion
has been reached. The propositions
for close must come, he says, from the
Republicans. None has yet been re-
ceived, and when it comes, it may or
may not prove satisfactory in all re-
spects. The general impression Is that
the date for the voting ON the tariff
bill will be fixed about Sept. 5. The
official announcement of an agreement
will be made, it is understood, by Sem
ator Aldrich. in charge of the bill, who
will move, at the proper time, that the
debate cease upon the agreed date, and
this motion will be agreed to unani-
mously. Whether or not the five-min-
ute rule will be applied to the discus
sion at an earlier date, Senator Cor
man could not say, although he admit
ted that it was probable.
