He Got There First.

There is small town in one of the
eastern states, not far from Boston,
whose inhabitants take great pride in
excelling every other town in their vi
cinity. They try every new invention,
and if it has any sort of merit it is sure
to be assigned to duty in some part of
the place. Two portly gentlemen, one a
sea captain and the other lawyer, both
retired from active life, were the prime
movers in the experiments and adop-
lions, and naturally in the course of
time they failed to agree. Extreme jeal-
ousy then prevailed, and a bitter ami
mostly sprang up between them.
Unfortunately these two gentlemen
lived next door to each other. In fact,
20 close were their houses that the side
walls almost adjoined One very windy
night the lawyer was reading book in
his study when terrific crash up stairs
startled him Upon investigating he
found that an unruly chimney had ruth
lessly hurled itself through his roof,
doing considerable damage. That in it
self was matter of great annoyance,
but when he discovered it was the sea
captains chimney that was responsible
his wrath knew no bounds. fastening
down to his library, he pulled out his
lawbooks and hunted up similar cases,
devising and scheming how he could
secure satisfaction from the detestable
captain. While thus engaged a note ar
rived from his enemy that read as fol
lows, eff you don't return those bricks
at once, I will put the matter in the
hands of the law ''-Harper's Round

A Queer Priesthood.

The most extraordinary costume worn
in religious ceremony is that of the
priests of hill tribe near Darjeeling,
in India.
A photograph of a group of these Pc
culiar priests has just been brought back
from India. All Of them wear masks of
enormous size, painted in the most hid
eous manner, possibly by the priestly
artists. The colors are chiefly bright red
and yellow The faces have strangely
shaped noses, eyes and ears, and many
other things are done to make them as
striking as possible.
When all these priests are engaged in
one of the elaborate ceremonies of their
religion, the scene surpasses anything
ON the comic opera stage. The fierce hill
men of Darjeeling are very much i'm
pressed by the the sight of the repre-
sentatives of their gods decked out in
this fashion.
One mask indicates that its wearer
represents the god who looks after the
drive them home. Another deity cares
for the bows and arrows, etc. The war
rior who hopes to do good work with
any of these weapons must literally
propitiate the priests.
The hill men have a particularly great
ceremony once a year, when, led by
their priests, they 60 out on to the plain
and indulge in warlike exercises, bid
ding defiance to all creation The city
of Darjeeling, being in the hills, is used
to considerable extent as health sta
tioH by British residents in India The
surrounding country, also called Oar
jeeling, is inhabited by a fierce race,
who are only kept in order by judicious
treatment. Many of them have enlisted
in the Anglo-Indian army.-San Fran

Consul General De Kay writes a pa
per entitled tAn Inland Venice for
The Century. 1t is description of life
in the Serbian swamp, Vendland Mr..
De Kay says: "School out" at the vii
lage school of Burg is a pretty sight
The substantial brick building overlooks
the ever murmuring highway, and the
boys and girls, instead of stringing up
a dusty road, tumble into punts and
pole away for dear life-the boys much
like other boys, but the girls reduced
facsimiles of their mothers and elder
sisters, clad in bright but short raiment
and visible afar off through their strange
mob caps with wings As one moves
down stream from Burg by Leipe to
Lubbenau, these wings grow smaller
and collapse, while the skirts grow
longer and more resemble the ordinary
dress of women. At dance the Spree
valdez knows instantly, by the pecul-
iarities of her costume, from what vii
lage woman or girl has come. AT
Leipe the multudinous skirts of alarm
ing girth are no more. The gown reaches
the ankles, and the cap fits close to the
head instead of resting on framework
as in Burg Thus the dress in Leipe is
perhaps more graceful, but it is more
commonplace. 1t no longer testifies to
that pride Of the peasant father or hus
band which is shown by the number Of
yards in the skirts of his woman folk
and the variety of their caps, by the
richness of their dress as well as then
jewelry.
