How the Brahman Cleans His Teeth.

When the Brahman cleans his teeth
he must use a small twig cut from
one of number of certain trees, and
before he cuts 1t he must make his act
known to the gods Of the woods. He
must not indulge In this cleanly habit
every day. He must abstain on the
sixth, the eighth, the ninth, the four
teenth, the fifteenth, and the last day
of the moon, on the days of new and
full moon, on the Tuesday in every
week, on the day Of the constellation
under which he was born, on the day
of the week and on the day of the
month which correspond with those of
his birth, at an eclipse, at the coniunc-
tion of the planets, at the equinoxes
and other unlucky epochs, and also on
the anniversary of the death of his
father or mother. Any one who cleans
his teeth with his bit of stick on any of
the aforementioned days will have
hell as his portion.

OTTuMwA, Ia, Dec. lG.-The old scheme of
"chain letters" has been put TO new use by
Rosa Leech, n poor school teacher at Smoky
Hollow, a mining camp near Abba. Ia.
Miss Ieech considered that a large number Of
charitable people over the country would not
hesitate to contribute one cent for the sake of
securing q college education for n poor girl.
With this in mind she wrote to a number of her
friends, explaining her circumstances and her
desire to acquire n college education. Each of
these she asked TO contribute one cent. and to
write to three of their friends asking them to do
likewise.
At first the answers came slowly, but as the
letters became more widely circulated by the
"chain system a" her mail grew larger each day.
until at present she is receiving over 100 letters
a day and the fund has reached nearly $500.
The answers come from all parts of the coun.
try, and some of them are unique. Some como
from unknown admirers, asking for a photo
graph of herself. Others have offers of steady
correspondence, proposals Of marriage, and en-
pressiOns of admiration of all kinds and degree.
