From the London Globe.
At some of the grea. Hindoc temples in
India it is the custom. handed down from i'm
memorial ages, to keep permanent staff of
dancing girls on the premises. These light
imbed damsels take prominent part in the
religious ceremonies, jgging it gaily when

tied TO many valuable privileges, and the place
is eagerly sought fo- by the nautching sister,
hood. But they do not lay claim to
any particular odor of sanctity; rather
tina contrary, indeed, il travellers tales
may be believed. Decidedly high spirited
and great sticklers for their profess
sional rights, the young ladies brook no priestly
interference with their private recreations; SO
they consider that their part of the contract is
fulfilled.
Unhappily the demon Of discord has tered
into this happy family. In an evil hour the
priests of famous temple in the Madras presi-
dency lately determined to reduce the emolu-
ments Of their dancing assistants, which had
gradually grown beyond all reasonable bounds.
But they little reckoned what would follow:
within twenty-four hours every one of the fair
bevy went on strike, and particularly grand
ceremony had to be performed just then, to
which dancing was q necessary accessory, the
holy men themselves had to prance about.

That one sharp lesson suficed; in the course of
the day or two the retrenchment decree was
rescinded, leaving the victory with the fair

From the Irish Times.

"Wool season, indeed! Do you know what

likely to be snapped up from under your very
nose while you're lettering down the street to
SEQ her."
Maybe your rivereuce knows best" is the
rejoinder, and away goes my brave Pat to make
the acquaintance OF Miss Biddy.
When he gets to Mrs. Dash's door his per-
pie1ities begin. and the hesitating knock with
which he announces his arrival indicates pretty
fairly the condition Of his mind.
The door is opened to him by Q girl whose

That is what Biddy says to him; but she does
not shut the door in his face nor does he 90

they arrive at an understanding. The result is
that Biddy, with considerably heightened color
in her comedy cheeks. seeks an interview with
her mistress, whom she informs, with much
hesitation and circumlocution, that there's
been a boy speaking to her." The mistress
however, not being Irish born. Is somewhat
puzzled by the expression. and Biddy has to
explain more fully her meaning, to the effect
that she wants to be allowed to 90 and see the
