A strange ceremony is carried on at q
certain temple lying in belt of swamp
and Jungle at the foot of the Himalayas.
The author of Indian Memories, who
visited the place at shutdown, says that she
found the priests in perfect silence, engag-
ed in cooking large cakes before the tenn
Pile Then they sat down, still silent and
stolid, as if ignorant of any unaccustomed
presence"
As the last rays of sunlight died off tho
tcmple man of extreme age, clad in
white robes and closely shaven, issued from
the shrine. 1t was the chief priest. Nov
ing slowly forward, he took up a bronze
hammer and began TO strike the bell
Very sweet and deep was the note. The
whole glade rang and vibrated with it.
"At the sound, all the priests rose and
moved solemnly and in dead silence round
the quadrangle, bearing with them their
huge cakes, which they broke up as they
walked, and deposited them ON the stones
and tree trunks and the steps of the tenn
pie. A rustling sound made me turn. A
jackal, big and plump, brushed past me,
with an upward curl of his lips and a
look of surprise and resentment in his red
bronze, cleaning eyes.
simultaneously from every lane and
passage in the darkening thicket, came
other jackals, singly and in pairs, and fill
ed the space before the temple, Soon the
feast was spread. The high priest ceased
to toll the bell, and at shout and wave
of the hand every jackal trotted, without
rivalry and without snarling or confusion,
to what was evidently his accustomed place
in the feast seized the cake in his jaws
turned and disappeared through the thick
ct In vain did 1 fee the priests to Learn
the meaning Of this strange bounty. II
had always been so, was their answer"

Of his feet. His finger nails are blue and
so is his tongue, and altogether he is the
bluest man in America The doctors say
that the discolOraton is caused by nitrate
of silver poisoning. Asbridge for years has
been subject TO epileptic fits, and took great
quantities Of nitrate of silver in order to
ward them off. This was gradually depos-
tied in the skin, and on exposure to light
turned blackish sort Of blue, Just as it
does on a photographers plate. His face
and hands are darker than the portions Of
his body protected by clothing, His eye
balls look like hard boiled eggs that have
been soaked in solution of indigo after
the shells were removed. According to the
medical men it will take good many
years for his cerulean epidermis TO bleach
out, and it may never be restored to the

There are few things more disagreeable
than to put on pair of stiff, brittle shoes
that have been thrown aside to dry after
a rainy day. Here is a formula that claims
to eradicate the trouble: First wipe off
gently with "a soft cloth all surface water
and mud. Then, while still wet, rub well
with paratfin oil, using flannel for the
purpose Set them aside till partially dry,
when second treatment with oil is advisa-
BILE. They may then be deposited in a con-
veniently warm place, where they will dry
gradually and thoroughly. Before apply
ing French kid dressing give them final
rubbing with the flannel, still lightly

be very little affected by their bath in the
raln.-Shoe and Leather Reporter.

Marie.
The last Of the five brave girls is the
heroine of triple rescue. On Aug. 81,

Besides the four silver modalists whose
stories have been told one received the
award for a rescue in 1890 This was Ma

An expert engineer in u New England

mort The amount Of the fec was large,

claim was carried into court.
During the trial the counsel for the cor.
porntion sought to bclittle the experts

cncc, and, in fact TO provo that his labor
,ould have hccn amply rewarded with
sw dollars a day.
"ITow did you reach this rcsulti" asked
the lawyer, referring to a certain cnlcuia-

In order to prove your calculation as

II fear it will consume too much of the

This seemed to confirm the lawyer s
doubts, and SO he insisted the more upon
having a complete table of logarithms pre-
pared.
The plaintiff smiled maliciously, took
paper and pencil and began his work. In
about five minutes the lawyer asked him
if he had finished. The plaintiff shook his
head and continued at work. Ten minutes
passed by, and again the question was put:

plaintiff.
well, may ask how long it win take
you to prepare table such as Napier's'
You seem to be very slow about it.
The expert hesitatcd little and then
replied; Il estimate that working alone, l
might be able to complete it in about 10
years, working day and night. 1t took
Napier and five assistants seven years to
prepare his table, but / am less familiar
with the calculation than he was, and, as
you say work slow. Still in 10 years

1t is unnecessary to say that the lawyer
was not little taken aback by the answer,
which enlightened him n trifle on the sub
iect. He withdrew the questions, and
eventually the expert won his case.-Now

Rio Nucva is a little station between St.
Ann and Port Maria, Jamaica. This place
Is no more nor less than a large banana
plantation. The manner in which they
loaded the fruit on tho small boats here
was very amusing and interesting and
might have been dangerous to any one else
but those accustomed to it, To load the
boats the men and women had to wade
out into the surf which was rolling very
high, and now and then the waves would
knock them down. These people seemed
TO enjoy it and made great sport of it,
ing all the time. The water did not hurt
them, nor did it hurt their clothes, for
they had on little or no clothing at all.

The rose in the garden slipped her bud,
And she laughed in spite of her youthful blood
AS she thought OF the gardener standing by
He is so Old-so old-and he soon will die"
The full rose waAed in the warm June air,
And she spread and spread till her heart lay
bare,
And she laughed once more as she heard his
tread
"He is older now. He will soon be deadl"
But the breeze of the morning blew and found
That the leaves of the blown rose strewed the
ground,
And he came at noon, that gardener old,
And he raked them softly under the mold.
And wove the thing TO a random rhyme.
For the rose is Beauty; the gardener, Time.

Leprosy is said by the Chinese to result
from the eating of too much fish, but the
real cause is, l believe, still mystery.
Poor blood and uncleanly habits have
doubtless great deal TO do with it, but a
satisfactory investigation as regards the
best means for its prevention and cure is
much needed. There can be no doubt that
in the south Of China the disease is great
ly on the increase. The number of vic
Tins sent from Hong-Kong to Canton is
becoming larger year by year, and unless
some effective means are adopted To pre-
vent its spreading there seems TO be no
reason why it should not by and by in
wade the more northern ATTITUDES, which
have been until now exempt from its raw
ages.-Gentleman 5 Magazine.

Jane Jones keeps a-whisperin to me all the time,
An says; "Why don't you make it a rule
To study your lessons, an work hard an learn,
An never be absent from SCHOOL,
Remember the story of Elihu Burritt,
How he cumb up to the top
Got all the knowledge at he ever had
Down in the blacksmithin shop"
Jane Jones she honestly said it was so.
Mebbe he did dunno.
Course what's a-keepin me way from the top
Is not never havn no blacksmithin shop
She said at Ben Franklin was awfully poor,
But full Of ambition an brains,
An studied philosophy all his hull life
An see what he got for his pains.
He brought electricity out of the sky
With kite an the lightnin an key,
So we're OWN him mOre'n any one else
Fer all the bright lights 'at we see.
Jane Jones she actually said it was SO.
Mebbe he did dunno
Course whG.f alters been hinderin me
1t not haviS any kite, lightnin or key.
Jane Jones said Columbus was out at the knees
When he first thought up his big scheme,
An all of the Spaniards an Italians, too,
They laughed IN just said twas a dream.
But Queen Isabo la she listened to him
An pawued all her jewels of worth
An bought him the Santa Marier an said,
Go hunt up the rest of the earth.'
