Gambling in India.

Amongst the Hindoos throughout the whole of India there is a holiday celebration in honor of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and good fortune, whereon gambling is universally re- garded as religious duty. It is known as the festival of lamps, and on that day all classes indulge in games of chance with shells, coins, cards, dice, etc., and the future of the individual, whether good or bad, is looked upon as forecast of his wealth or poverty during the en- suing year. The women take most in- tense interest in the proceedings and, if fortunate, expend their winnings in the purchase of sweet-meats and fruits, as gifts to all their friends and rela- tions, toys for the small children and fireworks for the boys. At Benares, their sacred city, as night approaches, small earthen lamps, fed with oil, are kindled, making the outlines of every mansion, palace, temple and minaret visible. All vessels in the river are also Illuminated; so that the whole city is one blaze of light.

The old superstitiio IS to lucky and
nnlucky days has largely passed away.
Foreign mails start and. arrive on Ffi-
days without any regard for beliefs
which were at one time accepted as be-
yond argument BY most sailors. Some
thought otherwise, as will later appear.
Generally speaking, all saints days and
church holidays were regarded as nm
lucky. and certain days in each month
were rather distrusted. In an old alma
mao Of 1915 we find that July 10, 80, 81
and 81 were noted as 40 good anchor
age. Sunday was always looked upon
as lucky, presumably in reliance on the
maxim, The better the day the better
the deed, z and the fact Of our Lords
resurrection having taken place on that
day.
Monday had no particular reputation
for good or evil. Tuesday was the same.
except among Spaniards, who said,
Don t marry or go to sea or leave your
wife on that day" Wednesday was the
day Of Odin, the Morse god,. and lucky.
Thursday was named after Thor, the
Morse god Of war, and was auspicious.
Friday was the day dedicated to Freya.
Morse goddess Of love, and having refer
ence to women was not liked on this
ground. The true reason for avoiding
Friday was, Of course, the fact Of the
crucifixion having taken place on that
day, and sentiments Of special venera-
tion for the day became converted into
a feeling Of fear for the results which
would follow its violation. The Span
iards, on the other hand, had consid-
cradle veneration for Friday and be-
lieved that some occult influence enabled
Columbus to successfully clear out of
port and discover new land on that day.
Saturday was generally considered aus

How Ostriches Arc PIrcI.ed.

In South Africa it was originally the
custom Of the keeper to coax the ostrich
to come toward him by throwing to it
some corn, and then when the bird had
it's head down the keeper would catch it
by the neck. at the same moment sew
eral men would take. hold firmly of it's
legs and compel it to SQUAT down. Then
its tail and wing feathers would be
plucked.
Another practice was to give the os-
trich some dainties, and while it was
engaged in eating them tho keeper with
sharp knife would cut the feathers
close to the skin. Subsequently in Al
glers q box was devised with movable
sides, into which the ostrich was driven
and the feathers then extracted.
The directions given were that the
feathers must be caught as near !.2 skin
as possible and pressed gently as if to
stick them farther into the flesh, then
twisted half way round. This move
ment dislodges the atier from its socket
easily and without wounding the os-
trich. a certain degree Of de1terity is
required for tits operation, VI ia can,
however, be rapidly performed after a
little practice.
