The sand ridges, Of dhoras, OF the
Indian desert spring from low cross
ridges, or saddles, like closed fingers
from the knuckles of the back of the

directions-that is to say, the ridges
face both northeast and southwest,
covering a longitudinal distance oil
one or two miles, when they are again
repeated in a similar formation.
Their cross slopes average two to
and are well covered with desert
grasses and bushes, an occasional
acacia or rohira tree breaking the
monotony of the landscape. Tins
peculiar formation ends abruptly at
the sandstone cliffs of Sata, about a
thousand feet above sea level, when

tension eastward. When seen for the
first time from these heights they

covered that they form inplan parallel

a good time. They had met some thel

The tenacity with which Europeans
cling to ancient ways is seen in a Curl
Gus custom which prevails at the pres
ent day in Basel, Switzerland, a city
of nearly 100, 900 inhabitants. Horses
being very expensive in this country,
the middle classes cannot afford the
luxury, and when a young man be-
comes engaged to be married helevies
on one of his rich neighbors for a
span. Though he may not know the
rich man even by sight, he notifies
him that he wishes his carriage and
footman to call at his home at a speci-
fed time. He then uses the convey
ance to call with his fancee upon
everybody of their acquaintance. At
the marriage the same thing takes
place again. 1t is expected that the
groom will give a tip from 50 to 81
each coachman so employed.-Corre.

Perhaps the most savage specimen
of the crab species is found in J Japan.
He seems to think of nothi ng but
fighting, to delight in nothing half so
much. The minute he spies another
of his kind he scrapes his claws to-
gether in rage, challenging him to the
combat. Not a moment is W asted in
preliminaries, but at it they go, ham
mer and tongs. It sounds like stones
grinding against each other as their
claws rattle against the hard sh ellis.
The sand flies as the warriors pu sh
each other hither and thither until at
last n of them stretches himself out
In the sun, tired to death. But he
does not beg for mercy or attempt to
run away, only feebly rubbing his
claws together in defiance Of the foe.
That foe comes closer, and with his
claws trembling with joy at his VIC
tory, the conqueror catches hold of
one claw of the ~vanquished crab,
twists it until it comes off and bears
away the palpitating limb as a trophy
of his prowess. Such is a battle be
tween warrior crabs.

SERMONS TO co TO LOWEST BIDDER
The Georgia Prison CoInmission's Plan
to Get Cheplains.

1t Is reported that the Prison Commits.
sion Of the State of Georgia is soon to ad.
vertlse for bids for the services of chaplains
in the convict camps. Hitherto 1t has been
the custom to pay SO a Sunday for a ser
mon from some country pastor, and as
there was always a plethora OF ministers
near the camp, there was some little rivalry
as to who should earn the S12 a month.
Under the new reform system, however,
the Law forbids that the State should spend
anything directly for religious services, OF
at least there is no definite appropriation
for this purpose. To supply the deficiency
the commissioners will pay the ministers
out OF the funds obtained from the work oil
the conviets. Since there are so many
preachers anxious to increase their revenue
in his manner, advertising for bids has
been suggested, the weekly right to preach
being allotted to the lowest bidder. 1t Ii
probable that the subject will be thus
solved.
1t is looked on as a matter OF business,
and not as cheapening religion. The com.
missioners say that as the ministers fight
for the positions, it is just as well that the
State should have the advantage OF the
competition. 1t is not true that the point
has been raised that inficting the ''lowesi
bidder on the convicts is in violation OF
that clause OF the Constitution of the
United States fo%rbidding cruel and I'M
usual punishments.

DON'T WANT WHISKY MENIN CHURCH
A Louisville Baptist Congregation De.

Church, of Louisville, KY, of which the
Rev. DIR. T. T. Eaton is pastor, has one Of
the wealthiest congregations in the city.
After a revival service a few days ago DR..
Eaton called a church meeting to order,
and, after a discussion lasting I'VE an
hour, the church adopted resolutions prae-
ticaily dismissing from the congregation
all members who have any connection
with the manufacture or sale OF
intoxicating liquors. The resolutions were
carefully drawn, so as not to be too often
sive. for some of the wealthiest whisky dis
tillers and merchants in the city are men,
bers Of DR.. Eaton's church.
The first part of the resolution was an
earnest appeal to such members to give up
their business and relieve the church of
the burden which has been resting upon
it. The second gives them one year to
either give up their business or get out Of
the church.
This question has been under agitation
In some OF the large Louisville churches
for a number OF years, but the Walnut
Street Church is the first one whose con-
gregation would strike n blow at men rep
resenting so much power and wealth as
the whisky men do there.
