When Nussulman and H;pdoo E,.h+

The odd feature in these riots is
their immediate cause. This is al
ways reported to be "cow killing, {"
but Mussulmans kill oxen all the
year round for food, and so do the
Europeans. The grievance is not that
but display of the old feeling of as
cendancy on the part of the Mussul-
mans, who on the day of their fes-
tival kill COW close to temple in
token of high religious defiance.
Then the Hindoos, who do not
mind about the killings during the
rest of the year, turn out armed, and
there is battle royal, which but for
the English would in % hours de-
velop into areligious war. The Eng
ish, however, tell the police to fire
lmpartially on both sects, and the
police, though they are themselves
Mussulmans and Hindoos, do it with
delight, and there are peace and good
feeling for the ensuing year.
If that is not a state of affairs to
puzzle Englishmen, there is no such
state. But Irishmen would under
stand it at once. The armed police
in Ireland in religious" row plays
just the part it plays in India, only,
being English in discipline and arma-
ment, it takes fewer lves.-London

could anywhere be seen in medieval
times of the inverted order of rang
ing books. Near the middle of the
south aisle door opens into YES

minister library, formerly called the
treasure chamber.
The volumes, said to number 24O,
stand on the shelves with the cut
edges of their leaves toward the spec
tator, except some half dozen turned
about in modern fashion by accident
On an upper shelf. there are So vol
umes, 10 Of which, forming a set, are
numbered on their leaf edges. The
names of others are inscribed in the
same way on several books of the AZ

chain riveted into the left side Of the
cover, which also has a ring fastened
to an iron bar running along the

An Electric Shaving Pot.

An addition to the recent electrical
appliances has appeared in the shape
of an electrically heated shaving pot
This pot can be made instantly avail
able in any room to which current
for light is supplied. The base of the
pot is hollow, like the bottom of a
champagne bottle, and a lamp is
slipped inside, the bottom of the pot
being closed up by metal reflector
having a circular hole in it, through
which the neck of the lamp passes
into the lampholder fixed on the base.
A small amount Of light passes out
below the reflector through ring of
glass just above the cap of the lamp
and is reflected by the white base be-
low. This light is more than suffi-
Gent to use the apparatus by in a
bedroom. One point in which this
appliance differs from other electric
kettles is that lamps of various can
die power can be readily inserted.
The water can be kept hot with an
eight candle power, boiling with a Is
candle power, or 1s1)idly boiled with
a so candle power. The cost of using
this pot for the daily shave for a
week is about 2 cents.-New York

TALKING SHOP.
A Very Disagreeable Habit Which the
New Yorker INDUCES to the Extreme.

Very Disagreeable Habit Which the
New Yorker INDUCES to the Extreme.
Very few people realize how utter
~ stupid and uninteresting to an
outsiders the almost universal habit
OF talking shop"-that is, keeping
the conversation in channels of ex-
clusively individual interest. New
York people especially are won't to
consider their local interests para
mount, and when a visitor from anv
ether city or any one who is not in
theT set" happens to be among
them they almost invariably ignore
them and talk "over their heads" as
1t were, leaving their unfortunate
guest to CLEAN what amusement he
or she can from the purely personal
talk which is not in the least inter-
estlng to an outsider.
This criticism is more applicable to
women than to men and is particu-
larly noticeable III the fashionable
set. Masculine interests are natu-
rally broader and more cosmopoli-
tan, and mems talk therefore is not
so clrcumscribed. But woe be to the
stranger who finds herself left to the
tender merciesof a fashionable lot
of women in New York. She is
simply and entirely 'out of it" and
is alone in a crowd, the most unen-
durable solitude imaginable. This is
not an imaginary charge to bring
against New York women, by the
way. tits a well known fact and
one that has frequently been COM
mented upon.
Less rude perhaps, but quite as
boring to an outsider, is the DISPOSE
ton to talk shop" in the way of
servants, children and various other
domestic matters on the part of kind
hearted matrons, who would not for
the world intentionally neglect a
guest or visitor. But who cannot
fancy that any other subject can be
so interesting as their servants de-
linquencies or their children's ILL
nesses2 What can be more tiresome
to an outsider than to be suddenly
dropped into community who have
some common interest in which he is
totally uninterested2 We are all
such egotists, after all, and it seems
so natural to think that what alb
serbs us should interest others that
it is hard for us to realize that we
may on occasions be both selfish and
i'll bred.-New New York Tribune.

Rules For the Napkins.

There is a good deal of uncertainty
as to whether it is or is not the thing
to fold napkin after a formal meal.
If one is staying in the house and
knows that napkin rings are in use
there, it seems reflection upon that
custom to fling the napkin down in
an untidy heap. An elegantly ap-
pointed table deserves better treat
ment, even at the end of the meal,
than those disheveled piles of napery
too. Therefore it always seems fit
test to simply half fold the napkin
and not attract attention to it either
by one obtrusive habit or the other.

How Javanese Settle ouarrels.

The Javanese manner of settling
quarrels is quite original. When one
man has offended another, the in
jured party gives notice that he is
angry by drawing in the sand before
the door of the offender circle with
a straight line across it, indicating
that his affection, which would have
been eternal, has been cut in two.
Friends of both parties then shut
them up. They parley awhile, then
pretend to be born again, prattle as
little children, and finally as men be-
come reconciled and embrace. Should
one be refractory and refuse to be
conciliated, he is ostracized by the
community SO effectually that he is
soon brought to terms. It is just
possible that our enlightened citizens
might consider this method better
than Touchdown arguments and
certainly much cheaper than going
to law.-Harper's Bazaar.

SHOOTING STARS.
How the Beautiful Ethereal Pyrotechnic
DISPLAYS Are Produced.

DlSplayS Are RrOduced.
Many people have probably noticed
the phenomenon known as falling or
shooting stars. Although they are
so frequent, however, the true ex-
PLANTATION of them is not very widely
known. The stars themselves are SO
far off $50 far indeed that the ordi-
nary mind cannot grasp the idea of
their distance) that we cannot as
cribe to them the long trains of light
that we see so frequently in the heav-
ems. There have been many ex-
plantations given at one time or an
other, bit the one now generally &C.
cepted as the result of close invesci-
cation is that the phenomenon of
shooting stars must be attributed to
bodies entering our atmosphere. The
stars that we see have no connection
with shooting stars"
But, independently of the great
planets, there exist in the planetary
regions myriads of small bodies
which circulate about the sun in
groups of zones. Some of these zones
lntersect the elliptic or earth's orbit
and are encountered by the earth in
its annual revolution. 1t is these
small bodies entering our atmosphere
that produce what are called shoot
ing stars. There are several periods
of the year in which these zones of
small planets are so encountered, but
the two chief periods are from about
the 10th and 18th of August and
about the same time in November.
In the first of the two periods the
phenomenon has been called St.
Lawrence's rain, on account of his
festival falling on the 10th of August,
These brilliant lights were POLITICALLY
looked upon by the Irish Catholics as
the burning tears of the venerated
saint.
Few people, however, are so fo1tu-
nate as Humboldt, the great explor-
er, who on the 18th of November.
1899, while in Brazil was witness of
remarkable exhibition of shooting
stars. He relates that the number
OF luminous bodies trayersing the
sky was so great that one would have
thought it was some magnificent dis
play of fireworks at a prodigious
height.
The average height of these bodies
at the time of their entrance into our
atmosphere is about 70 miles and at
the time of their extinction SO miles.
Their velocity is about 35 miles a sec
ond. Their weight has also been as
certained and has been found to vary
from two ounces to two hundred
weight. The smaller ones, by the
great rapidity of their motion, are
soon converted into heat of sufficient
strength to change them into incan-
descent vapor, and these we see as
shooting or falling stars. The larger
ones resist the action of the atmos-
phere much longer, and some of them
even complete their fall, perhaps
burst and spread masses of meteoric
IRON over large areas.-London Tit
Bits.

ONLY A CHILD'S KISS.
But 1t Wrought a Wonderful Change In
the Dying BuIIy's Face.

the Dying BulIy's Face.
He was bounty jumper and had
been shot down while trying to es-
cape from the guardhouse. He was
burly, big man, fierce of look and
rough of speech, and when they
brought him into the hospital he
cursed and raved in a way to make
you chill. He had received a mortal
wound, but death had no terrors for
him. When the surgeon told him
that he must die within As hours. he
replied;
Bah! What of it? The only favor
l have to ask is that you keep SWIVEL
ers away. | want no prayin and
singin about mel"
He had been wicked man. He
boasted of it. He ridiculed the idea
OF hereafter and cursed the Bible
and religion. Men and women came
to speak with him, so that he might
not die as dog, but he Knocked and
cursed them. We who were watch
ing for the end saw the shadow of
death when it fell. He realized that
life was ebbing, but still he cursed
and reviled. An hour before he died
the wife of wounded sergeant came
to visit her husband. She brought
with her little fair haired girl of 4
or years old, and as she talked the
child slipped away and wandered up
and down the aisles to inspect the
cots and their occupants. A score of
us tried to coax her nearer, but she
was coy and bashful.
When she reached the cot wherein
lay the bounty jumper, the pallor of
death on his face, but fighting the
specter away, she paused and stared
at him. When he saw her, a smile
fitted over his face, and the fierce
light died. out of his eyes for the first
time. He beckoned her to approach,
and to our great surprise she hesitat-
lngly advanced until she stood beside
his cot. The mother rose up in alarm,
but the nurse whispered to her not to
call the child.
rs you sick?" queried the little
one as the man reached out his hand
and touched her golden curls.
aye, child, I'm dyingm he whis,
pered.
And amt you got nobody to speak
to you7"
Il didn't want them"
But you wanted me, didn't youg"
'Yes-God bless you!"
rs you shot just like papa?"
Eyes, dear"
rs SO sorry. Iguess I'll kiss you. :"
AS her lips touched his cheek the
death rattle in his throat frightened
her, and she ran away to her mother.
The kiss was still warm when his
eyes closed, his head fell back. and
he shivered and died.
See the wonderful change in his
facer' whispered a nurse.
Aye! it was wonderful. The hard
lines had melted out, and there was
smile lowering about the mouth.
That savage expression, which had
intensified as the hours passed and
the end came nearer, had been kissed
away by the little child. But for her
he would have died cursing his God.
Mayhap, in the seconds between the
kiss and dissolution, he had asked for
mercy.-Detroit Free Press.
