Weighing u Mnharnjnh.

The ancient annual ceremony of
"Talabbaram." or weighing the
Maharnjah of Travancore against an
equivalent weight of gold, has come
round Attain. 1t appears to have been
conducted this year with great pomp
and ceremony, for the present Ma
haraa is Hindu of the orthodox
type, who aspircs to keep up the ira
ditions of his house. Some months
before the ceremony the Government
purchased, through its commercial
agent at Alleppey, about two thousand
pounds weight of pure gold, the
greater part of which was converted
into coins for this purpose. After
presenting an elephant and Of
ferings to the shrine, the Ma
haraiah entered the building pre-
pared for the occasion, and having
completed tho preliminary ceremonies,
mounted one of the scales. The sword
and the shield were laid in his lap; in
tho other side of the scale gold coins,
struck for the occasion, were placed
by the first and second princes, till it
touched the ground and the Maharajah
rose In the air, the priest meanwhile
chanting Vcdic hymns. Vollcys were
fired. the band played, and the troops
presented arms. The Maharajah wor-
shipped at the shrine, and then went
to the palace. Subsequently the
Dewan and other officials distributed
the colns from the Fort gates to about
fifteen thousand Brahmins. London

The Largest Existing Flower.

In Mindinac, the farthcst southeast
ern island in the PHILIPPINE group,
upon one of its mountains, the vol
canic Apo, a party of botanical and
cthnographical explorers found re-
Gently, at height of $500 feet above
the sea level, a colossal flower. The
discoveror, DIR. Alexander Schaden-
berg could scarcely believe his eyes
when he saw amid .he low-growing
bushes tho immense buds of this
flower growing like gigantic cabbage
heads. But he was still more aston
ishcd when he found specimen in
full bloom, five-pctaled flower nearly
yard in diameter, as large as a car
riage wheel, in fact.
This enormous blossom was borne
on sort of vine creeping on the
ground. The native who accompan-
led DIR. Schadenbcrg called it ''l.-lo."
The party had 10 scale by which the
weight of the flower could be ascer-
tanned, but they improvised swing
ing scale, using their boxes and speci-
mems as weights. Weighing these
when opportunity served, it was
found that single flower weighed
over twenty-five pounds. 1t was inn

The Chinese Pig.

The Chinese pig, according to the
report of the British consul at Kiung-
chow, is not the least important per-
sonage in the Chinese empire. He is
the rent payer of Kainan, and is con-
sequently reared in every home with
the greatest care. AS many as 1000
sleek porkers are sometimes sent to
Hong Kong in ono steamer; even the
dignified French mail boats competing
for this traffic. 1t must not be sup
posed. writes Consul Parker, that
these pigs are ill-treated or that they
wallow together indiscriminately in
wild filth and disorder. On the con.
trary q pig cargo is perhaps cleaner
than human cargo of Chinese cool
les, such as in the old days of the
Macao barracoons used also, in fact,
to be called in the local or Cantonese
slang "chu-tsai," or "pigs."-

Romance of n ShiDWreck,

Quite q romance is connected with
the loss of the ship Franklin, which
was wrecked on Cape Cod, Mass, in
1910, with GO people aboard. She
was discovered early In the morning
by Benjamin +. Rich, youth of IS,
who was out hunting for ducks. He

TO the rescue. A whale boat was
quickly manned and launched through
the surf, under command of young
Rich's father. 1t fetched a boaiload
of the unfortunates ashore, but the
elder Rich was disabled on the trip
and the boy took command for Sec
ond effort. Most of the people were
saved, but number were lost. In
the struggle for lifo there were some
pitiful scenes. One woman, clasping
her baby to hor breast, clung to q be-
laying pip that was fixed in the side
of the vessel, when brutal sailor
forced loose her grasp in order to pre-
serve himself. She was drowned,
but young Rich got the baby. 1t was

The Singing In God.s Acre.

Out yonder in the moonlight, wherein Gcd's
Acre lies,
Go angels walking to and fro, singing their
lulabes;
Their radiant wings are folded and their
eyes are bended low,
As they sing among the beds whereon the
flowers delight to grow;
"Sleep, oh, sleepl
The Shepherd guardeth his sheep
Fast speedeth the night away,
Soon cometh the glorious day;
Sleep, weary ones while ye may
Sleep, oh, sleep!"
The flowers within Gods Acre see.that fair
and wondrous sight
And hear the angels singing to the sleepers
through the night;
And, To- throughout the hours Of day
those gentle flowers prolong
The music of the angels In that tender
slumber song;
"Sleep, oh, sleep!
The shepherd loveth His sheep!
He that guardeth His flock the best
Hath folded them to His loving breast;
So, sleep ye, now, and take your rest
S'eep, oh, sleep!"
From angel and from flower the years have
learned that soothing song.
And with It's heavenly music speed the days
and nights along;
So. through all tlme, whose flight the Shep-
herds yigils glorify,
Gods Acre slumbereth in the grace of that
sweet lullaby
"Sleep, oh, sleep!
The shepherd loveth His shee
Fast speedeth the night away,
soon cometh the glorious day;
Sleep, weary ones, while We may
sleep. oh, sleepr

HE LACKED COURAGE.

Erasius Robinson, NJ. D.. had de-
scided TO commit suicide. lie had
reached this determination with con-
siderable reluctance. Being man of
great mental and physical powers he
felt more vividly, perhaps, than
weaker men that detestation of death
that is more or less prevalent among
mortals and forms one of the greatest
mysteries of this queer world. We
all know that we must die. Nature
or1ains that we should pass away.
Why, then, do we dread the ordeal?
Nature DEGREES that we must eat and
drink, sleep and love, and we thank
the goddess for so doing. but when
she tells US all men must die we shud-
der and revolt. Why is this? Count.
less generations have attempted to
solve the problem, but it still remains
unanswered.
But TO our story! This man Rob-
inson had been very successful sur

way into fame and fortune, and by
looping off limbs and performing lap

other otomies had built up a metro.

large income every year. Neverthe-
less, he had, as was said before, de-
cided TO blow his famous and very
lucrative brains out.
When Erastus Robinson made up
his mind to do anything that thing
was practically done. He possessed II
will of iron, and he knew that it was
a shame to bang at its seat with a
shooting-iron. But the doctor had
been crossed in love aud his scientific
acumen assured him that his heart was
broken. Now there is only one reas
enable and appropriate course for u
man with a fractured heart to pursue.
The earthly life having lost all its
charms he must, of necessity, try
some other realm. AS there is no

here is certain to find rest and possibly
recreation in the land beyond the
grave. SO, at least, thought Erastus

ip his profession in large part owing
to his wonderful nerves. His col.
leagues and patients had never known
his hand to tremble nor his eye tc
finch at any crisis. and, ike a society
bell, he always gave the cut direct.
But as he stood up that day and leaned
against his desk his hand, as it grasped
the instrument Of death, shook sc
violently that he could not place il
