The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1894-06-14

Parkston Advance, Z: A numDer OF
papers throughout the state have advo-
Gated getting petitions presented to
their various county commissioners ask-
lug these officers to call an election in
their counties to determine whether the
new revenue law passed in 1898 should
go into effect in such counties. 1t might
be we'll for such papers and agitators to
look up the question OF the validity OF
this law. The bill as passed is very am
biguous, and in it's title alone evidently
kills the whole measure. First. 1t 10
proposed to amend chapter IA of the
session laws of 1891, and changes very
materially that act, then 1t provides fur
Their on that such amendments shall not
be in effect only in counties which adopt
the law by vote of the people; and fur
Their on states that when the people with
to vote on the question of adopting chap
ter 2 OF the session laws OF 1893 shall be
submitted to the people. This chapter
is an altogether different law and treats
on an entirely different subject. Hence
it will be 9 that the law Of 1891 would
necessarily have to read two ways at
the same time in order to comply with
the proposed changes in the 1893 law.
Then again it is proposed that the peo-
pie shall make the law in differe t coun-
ties. All of this is clearly unconstitu-
tional and imperative, Therefore. it
would be just as we'll for such counties
as propose 10 make such a change to de-
fer getting the new books and blanks
necessary to inaugurate the change un
till q law is passed which is some good.

no ne Called Elt,ah.

Children have been admirably drilled
In Bible detail. They know more about
1t than three-fourths Of their Sunday
school teachers. They have learned the
story Of Moses till they can say it as pat
as the multiplication table. But I do
not find any living interest in Moses.
There Is one of the grandest life stories
In history, and they seem to have no
feeling about ii. And that need not be
20.
remember one of my Sunday school
teachers in Chicago telling me how trou-
bled she had been because she was afraid
she was not making the stories of the
prophets interesting to her boys. But
one day she was comforted, for she heard
from the mother of oneof them that the
lad had come home the Sunday before,
and after sitting silent awhile suddenly
burst ont at the dinner table:
well, I do think Elijah was fine fell
low, and Ii ! ever have q kid of my own
I mean to call him Elijah"
OF course it is only q rare teacher who
q teach that way.-Brook Hereford In
Contemporary Review.

And still it would appear that our
school laws are not fixed. A committee
raised by the state educational associa-
ton at It's last meeting to devise or
formulate a uniform system Of education
for South Dakota has just been subdivid-
ed by Prof. Hood, of Huron into minor
committees TO consider each department
OF school work and report a schedule for
such department. Supt. w. w. Girton
Of Miner county and Supt. Sue j.. Neill,
Lawrence county, will have charge OF
the common sc hool work; Prof. b. +.
Hood, of Huron. and assistants will have
charge of secondary school work, and
President McLouth Of Brookings college
and President Shannon of the board OF
regents will report on higher education.
These sub. committees Twill report to q
meeting OF the general commission in
August and this TO the state educational
association which w in Dec
ember. The conclusions arrived at by
this body will then be presented to tie
legislature for enactment into school
law.

Dainty French people have never dis
placed sealing wax with the gummed en-
velope, and in the haute monde of France
there il . certain symbolism in the
choice Of colors. Blue denotes constancy;
yellow, jealousy. Pink is appropriately
used by young girls, and gray is EN-
ployed when writing 10 an intimate
friend. Red Is confined to business, and
engaged lovers find ruby symbolical Of
the intensity OF their emotions. Green
ID for letters from lovers who live In
hope, and dull brown warns the impa.
tient lover that his offer Ii refused.
White IL chosen for communications re.
lating to weddings and black for obitn.

Ar Entitled TO the Honor.
At Peterboro, N. H., live Elvira and
Elmira Fife, who clai;n to DO and prob
ably are the oldest twins living. Next
August they viii be So. At tho age OF
IA they entered the employ OF q local
manufacturing company, and for 60 years
they remained on its pay roll, the max.
imum wages earned being 90 cents per
day and the minimum II cents for three
days labor.
A Boston Journal reporter recently
visited them.

The strong resemblance between them
Ia still as prominent a ever. One great
popularity about these women has been
that, although living In the same house
and eating from the same table. they
have always lived separately-that Is,
each has cooked her own meal II one

THE TEMPLE or HATHoR.

One Of the Ancient Buildings Of Egypt and
Very Well Preserved.
We steamed two hours n morning
on the Nile and after an early breakfast
rode an donkeys about three miles TO
the famous temples f Hathor, the Egyp-
tian Aphrodite, at Denderah. This tenn
pie was built Just before the Christian
era by IA of the Ptolemies, and the porch
was added by Tiberius Though built
by Greek and Roman emperors, il is
essentially Egyptian in architecture and
decoration, and as it was the first Of
the great temples that we had seen we
were very much impressed It stands On
the borders of the desert and the ycr-
dant plain, surrounded by the ruins Of
an old town, the debris of which, to-
gether with the blowing sands, rise sew
eral feet above its foundations The
temple is very well preserved. It's porch.
the latest part, is a noble hall, support
ed by "a columns about s feet in diam
eter and 40 feet high, the capitals pre-
senting colossal faces of Hathor On four
sides Every foot Of the surface, outside
and in, is covered with sculpture, which,
though of the period Of d~ecadence, 10
still striking because Of the amount Of
it.
The main temple behind the porch
consists of four central chambers and
some 20 others, each Of which had its
use. The faces on nearly all the figures
have been mutilated by iconoclastic No
hammedans or Christians On the ex-
terior of the wall in the rear, among
other figures are Cleopatra and her son
Cssarion, whose father was Julius
Cesar. This representation of the IA
nous Egyptian queen, though contempt.
raneous, scarcely jnstifes the tradition
Of her beauty. Near by is a small tenn
pie of Isis, and another which seems tc
have had some connection with the tenn
pie Of Hathor. The town Of Tentyris
stood here. The T~entyrites hated tbs

lNpLA,s SACRED MONEY! TEMPLE.


49, %%~~---~ E 1917.
An EdiHce where Long Tailed Quadrupeds
1.-Two Free From Interference.
Among the thousand or more temples
and shtines with which the holy Hindoo
city of Benaresi is endowed, visitors gem
orally find the great temple dedicated to
the worship of the goddess Durga one of
the most interesting. 1t is known to
Europeans as the monkey temple, be-
cause in and around its precincts many
hundreds of sacred monkeys roam about
without interference. The temple Is sit
aated In the southern extremity of the
city. 1t wa erected during the last CEN
fury by the Rance Bhawani Of Natre, in
honor of Siva's wife, the terrific god
dess who IL supposed to delight in death
and slaughter. and of whom the poor be-
levers in the various attributes Of the
deities COMPRISING the Hindoo pantheon
stand in the greatest dread. A CORE
spondent of the London Graphic writes
90 follows regarding the place:
"The Durga Kund is conspicuous in
this city of temples for the grace and
simplicity of it's architecture. It adjoins
. s0aAA WhASH 40 VIC uhesG AM btnaEtS
and occupies the central portion of a
quadrangle, the walls being stained red
with ocher. The sacred portion Of the
temple consists OF IL finely carved pill
lars standing ON q marble platform and
supporting q heavy root. The platform
is about four feet from the ground and
Ii assembled by a fight of low steps on
each side OF the square. The temple is
well provided with the necessary instru-
ments for creating the frightful noises
which emanate from these abodes of
idolatry all over India. Drums of huge
dimensions, gongs. bells and tomtoms
are all at the service of the priests in
performing the rites required of them.
But the antics of the monkeys which
make this temple their home are, next
to its architecture, the most attractive
feature OF the place.
"The goats blood with which the walls
are sprinkled and the sacrifices that are
known to take place here to appease the
wrath OF silva and his terrifying spouse
are rather revolving to a Christian, but
the grotesque play Of the monkeys, their
importunate begging, the pranks they
enact on a another and the graceful
agility they are constantly displaying
supply . perpetual source Of amusement
which q 10 apt to think must prove
rather ~distracting 10 the devout Hindoos
