Where They Eat Gods.

At certain seasons in some parts
of India 1t is the duty of every de-
vout person to eat a special sort of
confectionery. Every confectioner
in October, for instance, has pole
about 6 feet high at his door, and to
this is nailed a great hook about a
foot long and thick in proportion.
On one side Of this is a brisk fire
with a huge earthen pan on it. Be
fore the pan a man may be seen sit
ting-for nobody stands when he
can sit-with a kind of wooden ladle.
and with this he briskly stirs a
quantity Of bubbling, black looking
sugar till it becomes quite tough. He
then scrapes it together and puts it
on piece of board to cool a little,
and then getting up and dexterously
throwing it on the large hook he
begins to pull out the tough sub
stance.
He draws it out to the length of.4
or 5 feet at a time and throws it
back and elongates it again and SO
he manipulates it till the mass be-
comes as white as snow. Il.
This composition, SO treated, is
manufactured in all sorts of sacred
forms figures Of little idols and
gods-and is eagerly bought for
consumption. Strand Magazine.

Captain Dreyer was among the first to

Two Oregon Miners Secured FORTUNE
In Two Weeks.


Medford, Or, Sept. 28.-The great.
est mining excitement ever known in
Southern Oregon has been caused by a
itch strike just made in the Siskyou
mountains, one mile from the jackson
county line, on what is known as Ster.
ling butte. William Angle and Jordan
Brown are the lucky discoveries. They
came to Medford last night with 80
pounds of gold dust which they de-
posted in the Jackson County bank.
The ledge is Of porphyry formation,
and is about 20 feet wide, the pay
streak being from four inches to two
feet in width. They have been pros
pecting for about six weeks, and struck
the pay dirt about two weeks ago.
They have taken out about 60 pounds
Of gold, and are very enthusiastic as to
future developments.
Mr.. Angle was formerly merchant
in Medford. Two years ago. while
selling bill of goods to a miner
named McCombs, he learned Of the
nature of the country in which the
claim is located. He made several
attempts to get tracings. but did not
succeed until this season, when he took
Mr.. Brown, a pocket-hunter, with him.
and within two weeks they made find.
Nh. Angle calls the claim the "Klon.

fine one for prospecting. The mine is
1900 feet above sea level. 1t is stu

Now Favor Revision.

Paris. Sept. 28.-At meeting of the
cabinet this morning, all the ministers
being present, a decision was taken in
favor of a revision of the trial of ex-
Captain Dreyfus, and the documents
in the case will be sent to the court Of
cessation. Crowds Of people outside
the ministry of the interior, where the
cabinet council was held. loudly
cheered the ministers.
The cabinet ordered the minister of
justice, M. Sarrien, to lay before the
court of cessation the petition of
Madame Dreyfus for revision of ther
husbands case. The court therefore
will decide the legal question as to
whether the first trial of Dreyfus was
vitiated by the forgery committed by
the late Lieutenant-C Colonel Henry.
