\ Hintioo Sport.

1t is perhaps owing to the length of
their owners names that the horses of
India are all stNnted in their growth,
most of them being not larger than po-
MES. English occupation Of Gle country
has introduced athletic sports SO far as
the heat Of the country will allow, and
the Indians who follow British ways
have taken them up Horse racing and
polo are the most fashionable of the sport
ing games. The horse racing is, however,
only pony racing.
The most renowned turfman and polo
player of India is his highness Maharai
Dhiraj Furzand Englyshia, maharajah
Rajendra Singh Bahadur, maharajah of
Patiala, sometimes also called king Of
the Sikhs. Wedon,t know what they call
him for short-perhaps Pat. lie is only
81 years old, but he Is enormously rich.
as rich as a prince of the Arabian
Nights" His racing colors are green
and gold. His highness las SO complete

though he is as dark as a very deep dyed
mulatto he is married to fair English
wife. They say it was a love match.
The prince IS the leading horse breeder
of India, and lie is also the prize pig
sticker eff Bombay. This accomplished
gentleman, soldier, tarfman, pig sticker.
polo player and prince will visit England
this year, and the high born sports will

The bills which She British house OF
lords has made itself so obnoxious by re-
jecting are the home rule act and the
parish councils act. The house Of com
mons adopted tile hampering, mischiev-
Gus amendments the lords had loaded
upon the employers liability bill rather
than not pass the act at ali, but it was
done by only majority Of two and ac-
companied by no dnninution of the deep
ana ominous growls against the lords
that have been heard Of late in the lower
house. The employers liability act and
the parish councils act were two laws
that the majority Of Englshmen de-
manded, whether they cared for home
rule or not. The action Of the blindly
foolish lords is therefore only one more
step toward their destruction. British
legislation will soon refuse to be ham
pered by these old fellows.

Probably some American citizens are
ignorant CT the reason why the bankers of
New York turned at first cold, deaf ear
to Secretary Garhsle's appeal to them to
subscribe Tor his $4,000, 900 bonds, then
changed their minds suddenly and in "a
hours took the whole loan. The reason
was that they found out Secretary Car
Isle was going to coin some of the silver
bullion in the treasury and put it into
circulation in case he failed to secure
the loan. Rather than see the currency
expanded by silver they took the bonds
in a hurry.

FrankIin's RELIGION.

There has been much speculation as
to what Benjamin Franklins religion
really was. He himself, possessing the
greatest philosophical mind America has
yet produced, knew enough to say very
little on the subject
1t is generally believed that he was
something of an agnostie. The follow
ing letter, written after the death of his
brother, John Franklin, will throw more
light on the faith he held than anything
else we have seen. The beauty of the
last paragraph is espeeiallyto be noted:
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. %. 1906
To Miss E. Hubbard.
I eondole with you. We have lost a most
dear and valuable relation. But it is the will
of God and nature that these mortal bodies be
laid aside when The soul is to enter into real
life. This is rather an embryo state-prepara-
ton for living. A man is not completely born
until he is dead. Why, then, should we grieye
that u new child is born among the immortals
Ia new member added to their happy society?
We are spirits. That bodies should be lent
Us Willie they can afford us pieasute-ass US
in acquiring knew ledge or in doing good to our
fellow creature is kind and benevolent act
Of God. When they become unfit for their pur-
poses and afford Us pain, instead of pleasure
instead Of an aid become an encumbrance and
answer rome of the Intentions for which they
were givcn-it is equally kind and benevolent
that way Is provided by which we may get
rid Of them. Death is that way. We our
selves, in some cases, prudcntly choose a par
tial death. a mangled painful limb, which
cjtnn6t be restored we willingly cut off. He
who plueks out a tooth parts with it freely
since the pain gees with it, and he who quits
the whole hoQy parts at once with all pains and
diseases which it is liable te or capable of MAX
ing him suffer.
Our frieul and we were invited abroad on a
party of pleasure which is 70 last forever. His
chaise Is ready first, and lie has gone before u.s.
We could rot a1 conveniently start together,
and why sha5ild you and / he giiuved at this,
since we are soon to follow and know where to
find him2 Adieu. B. FRANKLIN

IN THE VALLEY.

To day, when the sun was lighting my honse
on the pino-clad hill,
The breast of a bird was rutticl as it p2lched
on my window-sil',
And leaf was chased by the kitten OF the
breezc-swept garden walk,
And the dainty head
Of a dahlia red
Was stirred on its slender stalk.
OH happy the bird at the rose tree, unheed-
ing the threatening storm!
And happy the blithc lcaf-chaser, rejoicing in
sunshine warm!
They take no thought the morroW-they
know no cares to-day;
And the thousand things
That the future brings
Are q blank to such as they.
But 1, by the household inglo, can interpret
the looming clouds,
For thu wiud "soo-hoos'' through the key
hole, and shadow the house en-
shrouds;
And l know mus. quit my mountain, and 50
to tn vac below.
For my house is chill
On the windy hill,
When tho Autumn tempests blow.
NV mind is forever awing an instructive
parallel
'Tnixt temporal things that perish and etcr-
nal things that dwell
When pillows AMI waves surround me, and
waters my soul oe flow,
l descend in h)p3
From he mountain top
To the shc ltcring vale btlow.
I go down to the Valley of Sill nee where the

know there is "bAlm and healing" thcro
for eyes that with tears are wet;
And l find, in lis sweet seclus on, gentle

For that valley pure,

A New Mineral.

An American chemist has recently
discovered Il new mineral, which, in
hardness and beauty, is only second to
the diamond. The discovery was made
quite accidentally. He was experiment.
ing in the manufacture of diamonds, and
was using the aluminium smelling APP
paratus of Lockport, N Y, firm,
where electricity is employed and an
enormously high temperature produced.
By mere chance he put into the crucible
together lump of clay and piece of
graphite, and the result was some small
wine colored crystals of rhomboidal
form, which proved to be harder than
sapphire Chemical analysis proved
that the crystals were composed Of car
bon and silicon in combination hithcr-
to unheurd Of. 1t does not occur in
nature. The process above described,
repeated again and again, produced the
wine colored rhomboids every time. A
company has been formed to manufac-
ture them for polishing all sorts of
things, even diamonds. They are
crushed to powder like emery and made
into wheels with cemen ing compound.
The demand for them is already greater
than the supply. The new mineral has
been named Carborundum.- Picayune.

For twenty years the Swiss Govern
ment has been making observations
through its forestry stations on the
temperaturo of the air, of the trees
and the soil in the forests. These OBJ
servations show that the temperature
in the forest is always below the tenn
perature outside. The temperature
also varies according to the trees COM
posing the forests. A beech forest is
always cooler than forest of larch.
As to the trunks of the trees, they are
always colder than the surrounding air.
Regarding the temperature OF the soil,
it is found that in the forest the tenn
iperature is invariably below that of
the air. Outside the forest the soil is
always warmer than the air in summer
and colder in winter.
