Tie Goddess of Smal1nox.

A striking account of the difficult
ties attending Oh the attempt to extend
the practice Of vaccination in India is
given by Surgeon General Sir William
Moore. The chief obstacle is supersti-
tious prejudice. The population firmly
believe variola to be matter under the
control Of the goddess f'Mata, in whose
honor temples abound and fairs are held,
where thousands of women and chill
dren attend with offerings. The decliv-
tiles Of most Of the numerous conical
hills present either Redeemed stone or
temple devoted to 'Mata," with most
probably an attendant Brahman priest
Nearly every village has its goddess
Of smallpox in the immediate locality,
and in many places large piece Of
ground is esteemed holy and dedicated
to ''Mata - The people do not pray to
escape the affection, unless in seasons
when it occurs with more than ordinary
virulence. They do, however, petition
for mild visitation but even the loss
Of an eye does not appear to be viewed
as a very serious calamity.
''Is there not another eye sufficient for
all purposes?' questioned one of these
stoical philosophers. eff it were the leg

ANTIQUITY OF FISHING.
How the Fair Cleopatra Fooled Anton,
With Salt Fish.

How the Fair Cleopatra Fooled Antony
With a Salt Fish.
The art of angling no doubt had its
origin i'll man S necessities. The earliest
record Of mankind makes reference to
the taking of fish for food There are
frequent illusions to it in the Bible.
Job, in the Oldest book of all, says:
ttCanst thou draw out a leviathan with
a hook, OF his tongue with cord which
thou lettest down? Canst thou put a
hook in his nose?'' Homer, in the
''Iliad," speaks of fishing in these lines:
AS bearing death in the fallacious bait.
From the bent angle sinks the leaden weight.
And it is recorded in the Odyssey:
AS when the angler, his long rod in hand,
On a projecting rock assumes his stand,
Casts to the fiery fry the baited snare,
Then filings the wriggling captives in the air.
The Romans, Greeks and other races
Of early days around the Mediterranean
practiced the art of angling ~Plutarch
tells of prank played by the fair Egyp-
tian, Cleopatra, while out fishing with
Antony, ''They wagered on their an
Cling, and her divers did hang salt fish
on his hook, which he with fervor drew
up"
The ruined walls of Herculaneum and
Pompeii abound in frescoes OF fisher
men. All along the track of history are
found traces Of this gentle recreation,
showing the gradual improvement from
the hook Of bone and rude equipment Of
the cave man to the elegant accessories
and belongings of the modern angler

Growing Rubber Trees.

From time to time articles are print
ed in the daily and other press discours-
ing upon the advantage to be gained in
the cultivation of india rubber. One adj
vantage would be in the respect that the
rubber tree does not grow in orchards or
groves, but generally isolated, some
times not more than four or five being
within the distance Of mile. 1t is
urged that if they could be cultivated
in groups the labor could be more adj
vantageously handled Rubber growing
requires hot, moist climate, and the
trees cannot be grown elsewhere. The
annual rainfall on the Amazon is about
40 inches against quarter of that
amount in the United States. It rains,
as rule, every day. TIE temperature
seldom falls below rs, its usual height
being about 60, It is the ideal climate
for growing rubber, which is SO plenty
that hardly any set of capitalists would
undertake to plant trees and watch them
10 years before they receive the first
fruits of their enterprise.

4 NEW NAUTICAL VOCABULARY.
Additions Made by Young Women From
"Fresh Water" Regions.

'Fresh Water" Regions.
The yachtsman's vocabulary is a Ian
guage in itself, and the 1andsman often
runs afoul of it. He doesn't see why
one rope should be called sheet, an
other halyard, third downhaul and
fourth clewline. One boat owner,
whose hospitable deck is trodden by
many of his friends has modified his
terms to conform with the suggestions
or mistakes of his guests who are not
expert sailors.
For instance, one landlubber who had
gone below for drink o1!water was
asked what he had done with the cup.
81 hung it on the post, - he said in
nocently.
Every one roared at the idea that he
could be SO ''green" as not to know
what the mast was called, but OH that
yacht the mast is now known as ''the
post. "
A pretty girl from fresh water"
district was responsible for another nau
tical word. The strips of canvas used in
tying up the sails are called stops
Some one wanted the stops and could
not find them for the instant.
"What are you looking for?" asked
the young woman.
81 am looking for the stops. They
were here little while ago.
''The stops? Oh, you mean the tapes
They're under this rug
And now the sails are bound with
'tapes. :"
Another young woman from an in
terror state had read enough nautical
stories to have caught a few phrases
here and there For one thing, she
knew that 'hard tack was staple ar
ticle Of diet at sea- On visit to the
east this damsel went sailing. She was
anxious to learn, and when she heard
the man at the wheel say "hard lee'
she asked some questions and found out
what it meant.
A little later the steersman said the
yacht was going about. Some of the
guests were paying no attention and
seemed in danger of being struck by the
boom as it swept over to the other side
Of the yacht.
''Hard tack! hard tackl" cried out
the young woman excitedly.
All managed to duck their heads in
time to escape the spar if they didn't
know what the maiden meant by "hard
tack" and another joke was added to
the yachts store of them. New York

A CHILD'S IDEA.

He stood beside my knee the while turned
The pictured pages of tho holy book.

For God to make the harps of Smiling
Dismissed the childish fancy with kiss.
But bordering, as ponder ever now
On all his words, there grows the meaning as
In darkness grows the star. The harps, in
deed,
In heaven are fashioned, but the withdrawal
Is delved from earth's dark breast with toll

DIscoMFoRTs OF ACTING.

Lack of Accommodations In the Green
room and Behind the Scenes.
The janitor has an important bearing
on the actors condition, which finds its
expression is his playing and possibly
plies the house and i'll most cases fur
nishes quarters for the actors such as no
self respecting slave owner would in
the old days have condemned slave to
occupy.
For the public nothing is too good.
For the actor, Oh the other hand, any
thing is good enough. Instead Of silken
draperies, he finds only tattered cur
tain at the window, if indeed he find
a curtain at all, Or even a window
which it might cover. Instead of soft,
comfortable chairs, one wooden chair
none too clean, or a chair minus back,
will be the only seat, and not infre-
quently, if he wishes to sit down, he
must do so Oh his trunk. Instead Of
delicately tinted walls, he will find dirty
walls which have not been treated even
to coat of whitewash for years. While
in the auditorium a soft carpet covers
the floor, in the actors room carpet
rarely exists, Or, if by chance there be
something which once was a carpet, it
is SO dirty that it would be better away.
The washing appliances Of the actors
room, if they are found at all, usually
consist Of small basin with tap of
running water. Most people would ex-
pect that, as the winter is the theatrical
season and the paints used by the &C
tors are made with grease, hot water
would be at hand. But this is rarely
the case, and in many instances running
water in the dressing rooms is unknown.
1t is not uncommon for actors to refrain
from using the basins, preferring to re-
move the makeup" as we'll as possible
with vaseline and to wait until the
hotel is reached to complete this portion
of the toilet. Tin basins and buckets are
not the worst that I have seen con the
road" for once the water was in dirty,
battered, old lard tins, and basins had
to be bought by our manager. Forum.

Al most depIorable accident took
place in Waterproof last Monday.
Mr.. w. II. Ogden, President Of our
9Th District Levee Board, was max
ing with several gentlemen an ex-
animation of caving bank, and
while they were inspecting it, his
son Nash drove the horses for the
purpose of watering them to a wash
out caused by the crevasse of 1874.
It proved to be over 20 feet deep,
and the young man to save himself,
jumped out of the buggy, but got en-
tangled in the harness and after
superhuman efforts to save him on
the part Of his father and those
present, he disappeared and was
drowned. Mr.. w. III. Ogden in at
tempting to save him came near be-
ing drowned himself. We offer our
sympathies to the bereaved father
and condole with him over the death
of dear son.
