Hlndoo Folk Lore.

A work on Hindoo folk lore says
that if person is drowned, struck
by lightning, bitten by snake, or
poisoned, or loses his life by any
kind of accident or suicide, then he
usually goes to hell. If he dies
naturally on a bed or roof he be-
comes "bhut,'' or evil spirit, and
with this belief care is taken on the
approach of death to remove the
person carefully on to the floor.
The earth is believed to be resting
on the horn of a COW and the raised
trunks of eight elephants called
"diggai" or elephants supporting
the regions" and each of the car
dinal and sub-cardinal points of the
compass has its appropriate guard
ian. An eclipse is produced by the
occasional swallowing up OF the
sun or moon by the severed head
of Raha, son of the demon family,
who was decapitated by Vishan for
Disgusting himself as a god and
drinking nectar.

A Brides Fine Del1cacy.

In the good old city which has
been imortalized in story as River
mouth, it chanced that a couple
who did not move in the most ex-
alted social circles and from whom
the most refined sentiments might
not have been expected, were united
in the holy bonds of matrimony
upon the day which followed the
funeral of the first wife of the groom.
The conventional sense of proprlety
in the neighborhood was shocked
by this haste in furnishing forth
the marriage tables with the funeral
baked meats, and upon the night
of the wedding q company of sons
of Belial gathered themselves to-
eether and went to serenade the
bridal pair with horrid uproar OF
horns and pans and guns. The
charivari was at its height, and all
the region was aroused by the hid
eous noise, when the bride appeared
darkly at the window above the n
otoue crowd, and with supreme

Giving q Horse q Turn.

"When horse stops and pro-
poses to turn around" says train
er. don't resist the turn, but give
him quiet, horizontal turn SO as
to carry him further around than
he intended to go. and, If possible,
keep him going around half dozen
times. In most cases this will up

quietly on without much ado. II
six turns will not do, give him
twenty. In fact, if he will keep on
turning to your rein, you are sure
to conquer, as enough turning will
confuse him and leave him at your
command. If he will not turn, and
backs to the rein, keep him going
backward in the direction you want
him to go. lie will soon get tired
Of that and prefer to 60 with the
right end forward, but before you
let him 90 give him decidedly more
backing than he likes.

The Origin Of the Malta.

The "Ma6a" society is over 600
years old, having it's origin at the
revolt of Palermo which took place
during an Easter ceremonial In that
city in the year 1882. A beautiful
young girl and her betrothed, in ac-
cordance with the quaint and prim-
itive customs Of that people, ap-
preached the Church Of the Holy
Ghost to be united in marriage at
its altar, and while the lover sought
the venerable padre in the little
room at the rear of the building his
bride paused upon its threshold.
AS she stood, expectant-graceful
as fawn, fair as a dream, her in
nocent heart throbbing with its
newborn happiness drunken
sergeant of the French garrison,
Druet by name, strobe up behind
her, threw his arm about her waist,
and thrust huge brutal hand into
her pure, snowy bosom. With cry
of horror and fear the poor child
tore herself from his polluting grasp
and turned to fly, but the heel of
her dainty slipper caught in the
coping of the stone pavement and
she fell, striking her head against
sharp projection of the church cor
nice. At that instant the returning
lovers eyes fell upon his beautiful
mistress-lying lifeless, her white
brow gaping with its cruel wound.
her long tresses dabbled with her
blood. With the savage fury Of q
wild beast he threw himself upon
Druet, bore him to the earth, and
drove his stilletto to the wretch's
heart, crying, "Morte ALA Francia p
death to the French !" There was
for moment a pause of silence,
and then that maddened cry became
the roar of infuriated thousands.
It swelled and deepened it took
more solemn meaning-became ma
tionalized-and then burst forth
"Morte ALA Francia Italia amelia |"
death to the French is Italy's cry !"
For seventy-two hours armed bands
headed by the father and betrothed
of this hapless girl, hunted down
the hated French, and their search
was as the quest Of tiger and the
bloodhound.
But retribution was to come after
this carnival of blood, and in dread
of the vengeance Of the French ma
ton these unhappy people formed
themselves into secret organizations
with the password and name of the
society made up of the initial let.
ters of the words which compose
that fatal death cry, thus forming
"Mafa." Its object was resistance
to oppression, and as the lapse of
years added TO its power and infu-
ence it stretched forth its hands
against the rich and mighty in be-
half of the poor and the down-trod-
den. To-day it is but the hideous
cloak of the creeping thug and the
assassin of the night.

How to Sew Wounds.

In small wounds a bit of rag will
keep the pieces Of cut skin close
together, but in larger wounds the
edges must be mechanically brought
together. Some do this by pieces
of sticking plaster, but more satis-
factory results are got by putting
in few stitches. Any one with a
little nerve can put stitches into the
edges of wound. Bring them to-
gether, and keep them in contact
by tying the thread.
An ordinary needle will do thread
it with silk, push through the skin
from the outside of the wound and
about one-twelfth of an inch from
its edge, draw the thread partly
through, then pierce the skin Of the
opposite side from the inside of the
wound, bring the two edges togeth'
er, tie the thread with two or three
knots, and the operation is com.
plete. Put the stitches about q
Quarter of an inch apart, and sew
up all the wound.
Use a clean needle, uncolored
silk thread, and dip both into boil
ing water before using.-Hallt

Oh. No, She Wasn't Listening.

Even the telephone girl, about
whom so much as been said and
sung, gets in her deadly work occa-
sionally and the latest in that direc-
ton occurred yesterday. Ed Hol-
land, of the Commercial Hotel, was
the victim and he is now wondering
just how it happened. Having oc-
casion to consult a friend in rela-
ton to certain business matters, he
called him up and discussed them
over the telephone. When the more
important matters had been dis
posed of the friend said confiden-
TALLY: "By the way, Ed, have you
heard the latest?"
Having been answered in the
negative he proceeded to pour into
the ear of his friend a quiet little
tale that was not entirely refined in
its details.
Hold on" interrupted Holland
suddenly. You'd better cut it off,
for you must remember that there
is a young lady in the central office
who can hear all that you say per-
fectly distinct.
There was the slightest interval
of silence and silvery voice came
floating in over the wire and smote
upon the listeners ear. There was
just a touch of spitefulness in it
and it said:
"Thank you, but wish you to
understand, sir, that am not lis
tening."

ICE 10000 YEARS OLD.
A Mine in California In Which
There 10 Perpetual Frost.

The altitude of the Stevens mine
on Mount Mcclellan California
is $500 feet. At the depth of from
60 to 200 feet the crevice matter,
consisting of silica, calcite and ore,
together with the surrounding wall
rock, is solid frozen mass, says an
exchange. Mcclellan is one Of the
highest eastern spurs of the snowy
range. 1t has the form of a horse
shoe, with a bold escarpment of
feldsparic rock nearly 1000 feet
high, which, in some places, is
nearly perpendicular.
In descending into the mine 10th
ing unusual occurs until a depth of
eighty or ninety feet is reached,
when the frozen territory begins and
continues for over 200 feet. There
are no indications of thaw summer
or winter.
The whole of the 200 feet Of fro
zen walls is surrounded by massive
rocks. The miners, being unable
to excavate the frozen material with
pick and drill in the usual way,
found that the only way to mine in
this peculiar lode was to kindle a
huge fire against the ''face" of the
tunnel and in the morning take out
the ore that had been thawed loose
during the night.
In fact, this was the only mode
of mining used while going through
the frozen belt some ten or fifteen
years since. The tunnel is now
many hundred feet deep, and still
there is no diminution of the frost.
There is, so far as can be seen, no
opening or channel through which
the frost could possibly have
reached such depth from the sur
face. Besides this there are many
other mines in the same vicinity in
like frozen state.
The theory is that the rock was
deposited in glacial times, when
there was cold enough to freeze the
very earth's heart. In that case
the mine is an ice-house whose
stores have remained unthawed fol
10000 years.
The phenomenon is not uncom.
mon or inexplicable when openings
can be found through which cur.
rent of air can pass; but cases
which, like the Stevens mine, show
no opening tor air-currents must
be referred to imbedded icebergs ol
the glacial period.

Inferred in the Government Graveyard.

According to the Grand Junction
(Col.) News, a Navajo pupil at
Teller Institute was found to have
one Of his feet endowed with a sur
plus toe, and the superintendent
ordered pair of shoes for him from
q local shop, at cost of five dollars.
Secretary Noble disputed the bill.
Then the superintendent wrote to
the secretary: "Indian boy here
with elk toes; can't possibly wear
government shoe. What shall l
do?" The secretary answered: "Of
with his toe!' Next the superln-
tendent asked; (Which toe?" And

Fortunes Made and Lost.

About IL miles from Chihuahua
there is a little mining territory the
size of an Ohio township, or about
six miles square. It is among the
mountains and in it more than 200
mines have been developed. The
veins run deep down into the earth
and fifty of the shafts are more than
600 feet deep. These mines have
been worked for nearly ten genera
tions and the mines of Governor
Shepherd are two hunded and fifty
years old. They have already cost
millions, and it is easy to spend
millions in the development and
furnishing of a mine. The Count
of Regla, who made so much out
Of the famous mines at Pachuca,
spent, it is said, $500, 900 on his
reduction works of one hundred
years ago, but he cleared 100000
a year out of them for twelve years,
and was so rich that he had way
of making his distinguished guests
walk. on bars of silver when they
came to see him. 1t was one of his
descendants who founded as char
ity the Government pawnshop of
Mexico, and the original Count,
who began life by driving mules and
who bought his title for cool mill
ion when he struck it rich, had the
cheek to ask the King of Spain to
come to visit him and told him he
would plate the walls of his bed
room with silver if he would do so,
and that wherever be walked about
the place he should have the paths
paved with silver bars. Count Regla
made an immense fortune and these
mines are still among the largest in
the world.
Still, on these very mines some
English capitalists lost millions.
They spent something like $780,
100000 in developing them some
years ago, and got out less than
three-fourths of that amount. This
was at the time that England had
her last great craze for American
investments. 1t was about fifty
years ago, and they then lost more
than $5O,OOO,OO0 in Mexican mines.
They have q similar craze to-day
which extends to all kinds Of syn
dicate enterprises in the United
States. They are buying our brew
cries, our salt works, our iron foun-
dries and our railroads, and the
same is the case with Mexico. A
great deal of English capital is now
coming here, and though they have
been trying to swallow up the cot
ton factories and other industries,
their chief investments have been
in mines and estates. I saw an
American at Silao who has sold out
his mines near Guanahuato to an
English company at big profit,
and has held enough Of the stock
to give him a big thing out of the
profits, if they make any. He gets
good salary for managing the
mine, and is now placing on the
market big mining zone in Sonora
on the west coast which he has dis
covered.-Mexican Corr. st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

the secretary wrote: "Sixth toe, of
course" If the secretary thought
that that ended it, he was wrong.
Again the superintendent addressed
him, saying: "Toe off. What shall
/ do with it?" To which the Sec
retary made final answer: "Ship it
to Topeka for interment in govern
ment graveyard"
