He VIII Infiict fortunes on Himself foi
Penance, But Never Kills Mosquito.
Asia exaggerates all things, and the
virtue of penance among the rest, bat
the virtue is still believed in, even in
western Europe. The writer has seen
a gentleman of Bengal, remarka bic at
once for wealth and fatness, crawling,
stretched at full length, along road
before the image of Juggernaut, SUI
fering, in fact, torture such as no one
would infict upon a convict. And be
has known one of his own clerks, a
man of singular bility and bonhomie,
who. being suddenly struck, through
the death of an only son. with the con-.
viction of sin committed in past ex-
istence, departed at once for Benares
to live there on aims, seated as naked
Sunyasee covered with dust, by the
holy rivers side. There are thousands
of men in India at this moment who,
under this impulse, are enduring tor
lures or making painful pilgrimages,
or living the lives of hermits in the
forest.
The second aid is ceremonial purity,
the living by rigid rule of life, SO
rigid that IL is almost intolerable,
which preserves what a Catholic bishop
would call his ''sanctity," and which
the Hindoo believes may be preserved
to every member of his creed who will
walk according to his law. With the
majority the search for that aid de-
generates, as it did among the
Hebrews, into a reverence for mean
ingless ceremonial, chiefly restrictive,
which to men who are free of burden
seems positively silly; but with .
minority, small minority, it produces
lives OF singular refinement, and char
acters with something of divine grace
and beauty.
One such Hindoo it was the writer's
privilege to know intimately, and he is
assured, though his friend never killed

range. when they opened fire Of grape
shot from the two eighteen-pounders
which compelled the British to retreat.
The enemy then sailed around to the
eastern side of the peninsula, which
they supposed to be defenseless, and
attempted to land there. By great eff
forts the Americans managed to drag
their six-pounder across the point of
land, and. carefully masking it. again
awaited their British assailants. The
barges again made toward the shore,
but on getting within short range were
subjected to a disastrous fire from the
six-pounder and musketry, which drove
them back to their British ships in
confusion. On August 10 the Brit
ish vessels were reinforced, and stand
ing close in shore concentrated
two eighteen-pounders- The Amer
leans stood by their guns unfinchingly,
however, and injured one of the Brit
ish briggs so much that she was com.
peeled to haul off. Then the barges
again attempted to land, but they were
repulsed as before by a steady fire of
grapeshot and musketry. One of the
barges was torn to pieces by the fire of
the six-pounder. On the following
day the vessels maintained a desultory
fire, but did not again venture within
close range. On August IL they sailed
away, reporting loss of twenty-one
killed and more than fifty wounded,
while of the Americans only one man
was killed and five wounded. The
British had thrown over sixty tons of
shot into the town, occasioning serious
damage. Col. Randall, who command
ed the American forces, won well-mer-
tied applause for his spirited defense.

Heroic Defense OF Town Against I'm

One of the most heroic defenses of
town against an overwhelming force
happened eighty years ago, when

place was defended by two old eight
een-pounders and a six-pounder mount
ed in a crude earthworll. and there was
not even flagstaff on which 10 display

appeared before the town on August ?
1914. and gave the women and children
one hour TO get 10 a place OF safety.

OF the Americans. When the BON bard

Brant. or brant geese. rs they are
sometimes called. are a species OF bird
intermediate between the ducks and the
geese. and are comparatively numerous
on the marshes down the Sound and
among the islands. They have all the
wariness OF the goose, and except in
stormy weather are exceedingly tanta-
lzing to the hunter. On clear days
they remain far from shore in the open
water. or on little bars and islands left
in the fat by the receding tide. In the
East they are shot al Cape Cod and
other points from floating sink boxes,
but in this region they are most COM
