Popular belief in India still credits
Sanyasis and other holy vagabonds with
miraculous powers Even the native
journals often chronicle maryels like the
instantaneous cure Of incurable diseases,
or the feeding thousands out Of q

prints gives description of how saint-
ly Sanyasi saved the lives Of certain
rajah and his escort from a wild ele-
phant. As the party was proceeding
through the Lower Himalayas mon
strous tusker broke out of the Jungle
and set to trumpeting. The raiah and
his followers were considerably scared,
and were giving themselves up for lost
when a noble looking Sanyasis appeared,
and, standing in front Of the travelerS,
told them to shout u certain order to the
elephant. This done, the animal bolted
into the jungle, while the savior Of the
