Hindoo Athletes.

The Hindoo are great devotees of
wrestling and the Punjab district pro-
duces giants.
Indeed the best wrestlers come from
the north. There men are trained from
early infancy. The wrestler trains from
babyhood. He is picked out on account
OF his strength, and his exercises COM
mence when he is but a small tot.
Every muscle is strengthened by an APP
propriate exercise. To harden their
calf muscles these wrestlers sometimes
six feet and over, hop about the floor
for hours together in a squattlno posi-
ton, while for increasing the dimen-
siOns of their biceps and the chest mus
cles they first lie fiat Oh the ground.
then raising themselves on the tips of
their toes and with hands well turned
III commence to move up and down, put
ting all their weight on their arms.
They continue this until they have done
1t l ZOO times. A man who has not ex-
ercised does well if he can keep it up for
three or five minutes. After exercising
they drink milk and a coarse sweetmeat
made of CHI, clarified butter and sugar.
Being Hindoos they only train on milk
and CHI and sugar. The wrestlers are
not independent. They generally at
tach themselves to some ardent sport,
who pays them so much month. They
form part of his encourage, and these
sports offer enormous sums to get
wrestlers away from their rivals Dc
casionally the sport issues a challenge
to another sport ceuched in the same
language as man would offer to wager
his bird against another mans bird.
The paliWar, or wrestler, who wins is
always handsomely rewarded.

Messages to Departed Friends.

"A beautiful custom of the people of
Siam" said DR.. I. O. Gregory of Pitts
burg, SIS one by which they do honor
to their dead. At full moon late in the
fall three evenings are set apart to set
ting lighted candles of many color5
afioat on the border of the sea. in the
belief that they will be borne away to
those who have passed out of this life
The broad, strong leaf of the plantain
is folded into the shape of boat, and
in the middle of this simple structure, a
tiny taper is fixed upright. Then at the
moment when the water is silvered over
by the beams of the rising moon the
taper is lighted and the tiny craft is
launched upon the waves. At first it
makes its way very slowly along the
edge of the ebbing tide; then waited
gently by the still evening air into the
swifter current it drifts further and
further away, until only bright speck
of light distinguishes it from the rip
ping surface of the sea air. When the
night is fine thousands of these little
stars of light may be seen twinkling on
the broad expanse of water all wend-
ing their silent way toward the bound
less sea, each one bearing silent mes
sages TO departed friends. - l0be Dens-

A THREE-TIME LOSER.
The Horse That Miss Russell Bet on Had
No Winning Gait.

Since Miss Lillian Russell closed her
season her secretary and general repre-
sentative, Teddy PEPPER, has subsisted
very nicely without any regular salary
Miss Russell has been by no means mean
TO him, but then between Teddy PEPPERS
appetite and Teddy PEPPERS means
there is chasm which has never vet
been completely blidged
Miss Russell is passionately fond of
horse racing. She never makes large
bets, but in feminine way yearly loses
some portion of her large income in
backing this horse or that.
Mr.. PEPPER, recognizing this peculiaa
ity of his employer, called on Miss Rus
sell one day at her residence. and in The
course Of conversation mentioned that
he had great tip on a horse we may
call Starlight which, unfortunately. he
was unable to take advantage of by
reason of his financial condition. The
odds were ten to one, and it was n dead
sure thing. Miss Russell was at once
all interest, and finally induced Mr..
Pepper, who, of course, was reluctant to
wager her money on his tip, to accept
go and put it on Starlight
\ few days afterward Mr.. PEPPER
again had occasion to call on Miss Rus
sci, and i'll the course of conversation
1t suddenly occurred to her to ask
what had become of Starlight and the
tip.
The most unfortunate thing you ever
saw" said Teddy 1T was practically
a dead-sure thing, but from the start
Starligt got in pocket and could not
get out and finished badly. OF course
the $50 is gone, but if | only knew
somebody who could put up $50 on
Starlight tomorrow he would simply
get $3.50 for it." Miss Russell was al
most compelled to BEG to be permitted
to give Mr.. PEPPER $50 more to put on
Starlight.
In the course of business Mr.. Peipcr
had again occasion to call on Miss Rus
sell several da, S after. She had almost
forgotten about Starlight. but some
reference Mr.. PEPPER made to the races
excited her curiosity, and she said: "Bv
the way, what about that horse YOU bet
on? Starlight, was it not?"
The story that Mr. PEPPER thereupon
told of the manifold misfortunes that
befell Starlight in the race and the al
iiiC'h tt'pIt IttcOuS WHY ne came
in last it is needless here to tell. twill
hardly be believed that after these two
'throwdowns, so TO speak, Miss Russell
was agais induced to put up S25 on the
next race that Starlight would run.
Again the same story in its general pur-
port, but differing rs to details This
Time Miss Russell had grown suspicious.
and she asked Mr.. PEPPER: You bought
the pool, did you not?'
why, of course" answered Mr..
PEPPER.
"Then, where is the ticket?" asked
Miss Russell. The ticket" and for
moment Teddy was almost nonplussed.
~Oh. yes, the ticket. | remember now.
| was so mad. almost crazy at this
third failure, that | tore it up and
stamped on it. / ought to have kept
1t, OF course, but anger got the best of
me-"
Miss Russell is really good-hearted
woman, and she smiled on Teddy.

MARRYING IN GERMANY.
Union Between kinsfoIk Prevails to .
Great Extent.

Matrimony in Germany is singular
institution. There are so many restrlc-
tons, such a complement of formalities
to be Submitted to that marriage -
rather unpopular than otherwise. The
prevailing idea is TO keep money in the
family, and to attain this end the peo-
pie, SO sensible and level-headed in
many respects, are willing to 90 any
lengths. 4 man may even have for his
wife his cousin, his aunt. his step
mother and his sister-in-law combined
he doesn't care so long as he has
hold on the money. The number of
marriages among first cousins is count
less, and the results APPALLING. How
many idiots there are in the fatherland
/ should not like to say. So that he
may keep the money in his family it is
quite a common occurrence Tor an uncle
to marry his niece; and man will
sometimes wed his brothers widow. In
Bavaria it is legal for boy to marry at
IA and girl at y.
a soldier may not become a benedict
until he has reached the age OF 3O-a
most unpopular condition, and one
which causes very disagreeable conse-
quences. | heard of a case of a man
who married his first cousin. He had
four children, one of whom became
leper and two of them idiots. Three
committed suicide, the fourth married
her fifth cousin and had an idiot child.
In another family the result of an inter-
marriage between cousins was two i'm
beetle out of three children; all three
died young. In one district numbers
of people with dreadfully swollen necks
may be met. In the valleys of the Alps
some of the most deformed idiots on
earth are to be found. They are Gre
tins, and live by begging, the hideous-
ness of their looks bringing them in a
good deal of money from the charitably
disposed. And yet these poor creatures
intermarry and spread the scourge.
The marriage knot does not require any
great effort in breaking it in Germany.
Chronic mutual dislike and incompati-
bility of temper are sufficient reasons
for divorce. PUtsb1trg Dispatch

MANHOOD RESTORED!
THE OLO-FASHlONsD FLOWERS.
Sad and Yet Sweet Memories Associated
with Them.

They are like the songs of childhood
that came while the mind was yet I'M
impressed, they are associated with all
the early recollections and nothing in
the after years can efface the effect of
that beauty which was n Joy that came
to stay. They were in the gardens and
dooryaFds of the long ago; we remem-
Der the sparkling eyes and eager clutch
of the little toddlers rs they reached for
Them, whose tiny step has long ago
changed To the measured tread. or
whose little feet have long been silent
in the dust.
We remember the forms that bent
over these o!d-time flowers, that cared
for them, that watched them unfold;
and, while these forms have vanished,
the holl shocks and the roses by the
window always bring them back Years
and years have passed, but the meadow
flowers, the blossoms in the wildwood.
and the forget-me-notS in the pasture
field are still as they were in the early
days whGn the step of father and mother
was light and springy, bat which is now
no more.
lneXFressibly tender are those emo
tons that are reawakened when we see
these smiling and unchanged petals as
they wore two score Years ago. They
may lack III the styie and Understanding
names chat distinguish their modern
congeners, but like the old friends they
are tried and true. They were with us
when life was new, aud through all The
years thair quiet. unobtrusive greeting
has beeI the same. These flowers are
memory that will not vanish.
Like voices that we hear no more
but which have kind of faraway, in
audible echo they bring to the recol-
lection the old-time paths, the memory
OF long-ago chances, the remembrance
OF quiet Sunday afternoonS-all these
come back again and for Il time the
distant ones and the sleepers under the
hiliocks are again in their old-time
places.
1t must be a scared and calloused soul
that is no longer thrilled by the smile
of these early friends. Hardened must
be the heart that cannot for time turn
aside and listen to the echoing SYM
phony that comes with its RHYTHM TO
bridge ever the mounds and yicissitudes
OF the years that are fading in the twi-
light. The plain blue flowers with
points that were stuck in ring and
pressed in Il book, the peony in the
garden corner, the clambering honey
suckle and the rosebush planted by
mothers hand-what memories do all
these awaken! Voices, chances, affec-
ton, hope, love, smiles, stray tresses,
wedding chimes-aye, and tears and
solemn 1luells and funeral wreaths and
anguish-all these are interviewer with
the old-fashioned flowers. - PtttsJ3trr

APPLETON, Wis, Sept. 21-On We'd
nesday evening Mrs. Herman Schnei
der middle aged woman, apparently
died The body was laid out and pre-
parations were made for the funeral.
Last evening, however, some friends
noticing that the body had not become
rigid, decided to apply tests in order
to ascertain whether she was really
dead As test ammonia was held to
her nostrils and she revived. She has
since lain in a semi conscious condition
but she now seems to be gaining
strength. Hopes are entertained of
her recovery. The woman has been
subject to heart disease for several
years and it was in an attack of that
kind that the supposed death took
place.
