followed the beating of tom-toms, the
screeching of native flutes, the shouts
of the crowds. The canopied end of
the long beam was now lowered. The
devotee lay prone on the ground below
the end of the beam. The priests took
hold of the flesh part of the mans
back, squeezed up the flesh nd fast
ened two iron hooks into it. A rudely
fashioned native sword and shield
were then given to the man. Then,
while the people shouted, the rope
fastened to the other end of the
long beam was pulled down and the
man swung upward into the air, wav-
ing the sword and shield and making
convulsive movements with his legs
as if dancing in the air. With shouts
and cries, loud beating of tom-toms,
and screaming flutes, the people took
hold of the long cable ropes and
strained and tugged till the car moved
forward and around the temple. Some
of the men were suspended while the
car was dragged round three or four
times. l should think that from the
time the hooks were put In till they
were taken out half an hour passed.
Finally the devotee was lowered to the

Many of the more ignorant classes in
East India hold that their sufferings
and sickness come upon them be-
cause their deities are displeased with
them. So, in order to propitiate these
cruel deities, the relatives of the sick
will visit the temple and by offerings
try to appease their wrath. Bloody
offerings are believed to be specially
pleasing to these deities.
At certain festivals held in honor Of
the goddess Bhadra Kali, in Travan-
core, South India, the most strange
and striking form which these sacri-
fees take is known as ho~okswinging.
The devotees have iron hooks inserted
into the fleshy part of their backs, and
are then swung UP in the air before the
goddess. The Rev. Joshua Knowles, a
representative of the London Mission
airy society. witnessed several of these
festivals, and the following is taken
from his descriptions of them:
The whole arrangement
of the car was such that, by lowering
one end of lifelong beam to the ground
and fastening a man to it, and then
pulling down the other end by the
ropes, the man could be raised into the
air a height of some forty feet or more.
The whole car, with the man in the
air. could then be dragged by the thick

A Canine Dwarf.

The dog is owned by Charles j.
Walmsley, a bicycle repairer of Pine
street. 1t is nearly 8 months cid and
weighs only eleven ounces. From the
tip of his nose to the end of his tiny
tail he measures eight inches. Well is
the dwarf's name. Wells mother was
a silver terrier and the father was a
water spaniel. The little creature is
well formed, though his head may be a
trife larger than the rest of the body
would seem to demand. Mr.. Walmsley
thinks the world of his pet. HE is SO
intelligent" said he; knows every
word you say, and obeys orders like a
soldier. What does he eat? Anything
we give him. He has a fine appetite.
The steps that lead from Mr.. Vain
sley's shop to the back yard are too
high for Well, SO they have rugged an
inclined plank-a sort of shoot the
chute-for his special benefit. 1t is an
amusing sight to watch the little fellow
slide down the plank. Dog fanciers
say he is the smallest pup of his age
they ever saw.-Providence Journal.

FIRST SIGHT OF INDIA.

bombay an Elaborate Combination of
Strange Sights and Sounds.
From London Mail; The first sight OF
India is amazing, enhancing. stupefy-
ing. Of other countries you become
aware gradually; Italy leads up to the
Levant, and Egypt passes you on in
sens1bly to the desert. Landed in Bonn
Day, you have strayed into a most elab-
crate dream, infinite in variety, blurred
with completely, a gallery of strange
faces, a buzz Of strange voices, a
RAINBOW of strange colors, a gai den Of
strange growths, a book of strange
questions, a pantheon of strange gods.
Different beasts and birds in the street,
different clothes to wear, different meal
times and different food-the very com
monest things are altered. You begin
a new life in a new world. 1t takes
time to come to yourself. At first
everything is so noticeable that you
notice nothing. When things begin to
come sorted and sifted, Bombay re-
veals itself as a city of monstrous con-
trasts. Along the sea front one splen-
did public building follows another

colonnade, cupola and pinnacle and
s~tatuary. At their feet huddle himsy
huts of mating, matched with leaves,
which a days rain would reduce to mud
and pulp. You sit in a marb!e-Daved
club. vast and airy as a Roman villa,
and 0 out over gardens of heavy
scarlet and purple flowers toward chok-
ing alleys, where half-naked savages
herd by families together in open
fronted rooms, and filth runs down gull
lies to tester in the sunken street. II
this quarter you may see the weaver
twirling his green and amber wool on
a hand loom-a skeleton so simple and
fragile that a kick would make sticks
of it; go to the street corner and you
see black smoke belch from a hundred
roaring mills, whose competition cuts
the throat of all the world. In the
large, open space Parsees bowl each
other full-pitches and cry Tank you,
tank you" after each ball; by the rail
squats a Hindoo, who would like, if
only the law would let him, to marry
babies and burn widows. Yet, for all
its i~ncOngruities, Bombay never lets
you forget that it is a very great city.
II it had no mills, it would be renowned
for its port; if it had neither, it would
be famous for it's beauty. And il it
were as ugly as it is fair, it would still
be one of the most astounding collec-
tons of human animals in the world.
Forty languages, it is said, are habit
ually spoken in its bazaars. That, to
him who understands no word of any
OF them, is perhaps more curious than
interesting, but then every race has its
own costume, so that the streets Of
Bombay are a Kaleidoscope Of vermil-
ion turbans and crimson, orange and
flame color, of mel in blue and brown
and emerald walstcoats, women in cher
ry colored satin drawers, or mantles,
drawn from the head across the bosom
to the hip, of blazing purple or green
that shines like a grasshopper. If you
check your eye and ask your mind for
the master color in the crowd, it is
white-white bordered with brown or
faWn or damson legs.

RINEHART'S INDIAN PICTURES.

In the summer of 1898 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
Of Indians in this country to send dele
gates to an Indian Congress, and they
gathered from far and near with their
ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap
pings in the Exposition Grounds at
Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such a
gathering. There were about five hun
dred of them, some partly civilized, but
the greater portion picturesque in
original savagery. Strange as it may
seem at this late day many of the In
dians declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi
tudes of white men there were or how
hopeless it was to try to stand against
them. This was probably the last time
that 50 complete and spectacular a
view OF the North American Indian
will be possible and those who had the
privilege Of witnessing it are to be
counted fortunate. At the time of the
Indian Congress a prominent pho
tographer obtained permission to take

chiefs present and succeeded N obtain

From the Providence Journal: Ia It
Lack OF money that keeps men from
marrying? This Is the reason often
advanced, and it seems to be justified
by the recent episode at Chicago, where
fifty couples rushed to take advantage
OF a free performance Of the ceremony
how they were TO live afterward evil
IDENTIFY being a less important matter.
Perhaps 1t is only in the higher walks
OF life that the blessed estate of holy
matrimony is avoided on financial
grounds. Society demands more and
more of those who belong to it. and
young men in moderate circumstances
dread the burden Of a wife and family,
preferring their own selfish pleasure.
This may be deplorable, but it is hard
ly strange.

SHOOTING OUT THE LIGHTS.
This Western Sport Does Not Necessarily
Mean the Splitting of Oil.

According to Western stories,'
said a former ranchman, zone of the
favorite amusements of frontier des-
peradoes is shooting out the lights
/ never saw it done but once, but the
incident made sufficient impression on
my mind to last me for life. 1t was at
Benton, a small camp on the old Stake
Plain trail, in northeastern New Mex
leo. / was staying there over night
with a couple of cattlemen, and we
naturally gravitated to the only resort
in town, a sort of combination of bar
and gambling house, in a rough one
story building, containing a good-sized
single room. The bar was on one side
and on the other were two or three
Mexican monte tables, over each OF
which were several large coal oil
lamps in wall brackets. In the center
of the place was a chandelier contain
ing three more, all giving a good deal
of light. We were sitting at one side
smoking and talking, when in rushed
half a dozen drunken cowboys, head
ed by a ~well-known ranchman named
Bill Wells. The crowd were out for
excitement and didn't care how they
got it. They took several drinks and
then clustered around n of the monte
tables. In a few moments Wells in
sisted upon making a bet over the linn
1t, to which the dealer objected. III
you don't turn for that bet, I'll shoot
out your blankety-blanked lights!'
bawled the ranchman. The leemit ez
feefty dollar said the Mexican dealer,
and the words were no sooner out OF
his mouth than Wells and his gang
pulled their s~ix-shooters and began
blazing away at the lamps. About 20
or 80 shots were fired and almost at the
outset the place was in complete dark
ness. OF course there was a stampede,
but l remember being surprised that
had heard no crash of glass. Half an
hour later I went back and found the
place lit up as brightly as ever. Wells
and his cowboys having been taken
away by friends. The roof was full Of
holes, but not a single lamp had beer
hit. What put them out was the con
cussion of the shots in a confined
space"
