Remarkable. Ceremony in India.

Invitations were recently issued to
all officers and other European and ma.
tive residents to witness festival
known as 'Agni Kund." which literal
ly means walking over pool of fire,
at the residence Of the rani of Coorr,
says letter from Benares> The invi.
tations were largely responded to, and
all the European spectators were aston.
ished at seeing the nstives walking
over a pool of living Goals. The place
where tho fire was placed was about &C
feet long. feet wide. and feet deep
At one end of this was situated the
god of fires made of kneaded flour, and
the great god Mahadeo was conveyed
around the fire three times in . grand
palanquin borne by priests. amid great
singing and dancing (something after
the fashion of the Indian war dance
and song). After the third turn one OF
the priests. with drawn sword, sever.
cd the head of the god of fires. which
they said had the effect of cooling the
fire." After the defeat of the god
several natives. young and old. of differ
ent castles. walked across the fire with

but repeated their walks.

Men And Their Hobbies.

A statement made by q wise man Is
that Every honest man has n hobby"
The man in question did not use these
precise words. says the american
C<scator. but they amount to. The
same in substance.
A man who is always tnkeyine
around. making sometAiHg or other 10
the mechanical line 3 sever found
spending his leisure hours in q gin mill
OF saloon. The young man whose hob.
Nv Is study will be found at his books
- soon rs his days work is done and
supper Is swallowed.
The chap who has Emusic on the
brain" will be putting or scraping his
instrumen: early and late, until his
friends almost wish he would quit his
aobby and relegate himself to the rum
shop.
Many young men ride a mechanical
hobby, and are often building exper.
imental machines. and making "yonng"
steam engines. To such men. electric.
ity possesses . most enticing field.
Ihere Is no end 10. the directions in
which thought may be profitably turned
IN connection with electricity. Well
developed AZ i is. electricity is as vet
an almost unknown thing. which will
require ifetimes of study to reduce to
the full understanding of all. Elec.
tricity is the future power of the world
as 1t has always been its life, although

That young man will waste hours

the young awake to the idea that the
advancement Of the world depends
upon them personally; that the wears

they choose to study or to be idle. and
1t seems as though they would Quit

Curious Date Figuring,

A gentleman was showing q curious
thing in the State House RECENTLY
showing how to tell the day of the
week OF any date. He gave the follow.
ing formula. which can be tried bv any
one' Take the last two figures Of the
year. add a quarter of this. disregard
ing the fraction; add the date Of the
month and to this add the figure in
the following list. one figure standing
Tor each month. 3-6-6-2-4-O-2,5-I-3-6-i'
Divide the sum by seven and the re-
mainder will give the number of the
DAY in the week, and when there is no
remainder the day will be Saturday.
~ AS an example take March 10, 1890.
Take W. add %. add 10. add 6. This
gives lS7. which divided by 7 leaves a
remainder of 4, which is the number of
the day. or Wednesday.

A ROMAN MODEL.
How an Ambitious Girl Earned Enough
to Purchase New Spring Hat.

Here is the experience of a young
girl who was waiting for situation
and at her wits end for money. says
the Detroit Free Press: She had con-
fded her trouble to the lady with
whom She was boarding and had gone
to her room to read the newspaper ad-
vertisements for female help.
The same day an artist was walking
the streets and avenues looking for a
model with Roman head. She hap
pened to know the woman where the
young girl in search of a situation was
boarding. and called on her with a
vague hope that she might know some
one with Roman caput.
The boarding-house keeper was not
familiar with the type required. but
she remembered that the girl who had
coniided in her was peculiar looking.
with q copper-bronze skin and mid
night hair, short and tously, and she
at once sent for her.
The artist looked her over, asked
her to turn her head this way and then
that.
Il think you will do" she said. with
satisfied air. but l want YOU at
once The class is waiting"
Il will CO." said the girl promptly,
and soon the two were or their way to
the studio.
Have you ever had experience as .
model?" asked the artist.

enough" answered the girl, with fine
Roman scorn.
But it was not as easy as she as.
sumed it to be. When she was clad
roughly in q ragged dress her head
was nearly twisted off its base by the
artist, who finally settled it in a most
uncomfortable side turn. Then she
took the measurements. The model
wanted to see the class, but dared not
disturb her Roman pose, which was
that OF profile silhoutted against the
wall. She listened to the pupils talk.

Feathcrcd Pirates.

A pair of robins. as has been their
custom for several years past. recently
commenced building their summer
home in an elm tree on the sidewalk in
front OF my house, says contributor
to Forest and Stream, and the work
went bravely on. with song and rapid
nutter of wings. Suddenly the songs
ceased and work on tho nest stopped.
But it was not left alone, for q band OF
miserable sparrows attacked, and. If
possible, were more active In its de-
struction than the robins had been in
its construction.
A few days later the robins began
another nest in tall maple tree near
by. and tho work was pushed rapidly.
But q few DAYS since It was evident
that something was wrong. again.
There was a great cutlery on tho part
Of the robins. and an unmusical
S.,stter by pugnacious sparrows. The
kiier were again victorious. and at
once began to hemolish the nearly
Gaished nest. which work they soon
coaipleted-strings. grass. feathers,
ETC., being scattered promiscuously
about.
This was not all. nor the worst for
the male robin was seen hanging BY 4
cord fastened to its neck and one wing
dead, and not more than ten feet from
the place where the nest had been.
The sight attracted the attention of
passers by. but it was so high that
none cared to ascend the tree to get the
bird.
Being anxious to know the facts as
to the reason of the birds death, /
spliced my stiff trolling rod, with q
knife attached to tho tip. to a long
pike pole. and with the help of q neigh
Dor succeeded in cutting the string
above the bird.
An examination showed that string,
common wrapping Irvine. was passed
through the wing quilts. around the
neck. and knottcd so tightly that con-
siderable patience was required TO re-
mo: it, SO that death must have been
soon affected.
The male being dead and the nest
destroyed. the female has departed, so
that We are no longer favored with
their sweet morning and evening songs.
The question now is: WHO killed
cock rohin?' Was it suicide from re.
peated defeats. or was no accidentally
caught in the string? Or was it pre-
meditated murder on the part Of
piratical sparrows?
