silva AND DEW.
The Fearful Devil of the HindOos
and His Principal Wife.

The Fearful Devil of the HindOOs
and His Principal Wife.
silva is both typical of destruction
and Of reproduction. But the latter at
tribute was doubtless aAlater addition
to the sum Of his qualities. The orig
inal conception of this deity was that
Of power delighting In destruction,
in the achievement of physical evil and
wrong and in hurting death and devas-
tation upon the people and their land.
He is represented in the sacred books
of the Hindoos as "the terrible destroy
err" ''the one who delights in the de-
struction of men," But in all this there
is no whisper as yet of any moral quail
tiles of evil The conception is entirely
one of physical power, used with the
utmost malevolence and injustice
against men.
Along with his principal wife, who
is variously called Dew, Durga, Una
and Kali, he is portrayed as the incar-
nation of physical evil, wrong, inJus-
tice or misfortune. In the "Puranas"
silva is described as wandering about
surrounded by ghosts and COLLINS, in
ebriated, naked and with disheveled
hair, covered with the ashes Of fu-
neral pile, ornamented with human
skulls and bones, sometimes laughing
and sometimes crying. Devi, his con-
sort, Is represented with hideous and
terrible countenance streaming with
blood. encircled with snakes, hung
round with skulls and human heads
and in all respects resembling a fury
rather than goddess. The only pleas
ure which silva and Dew feel is when
their affairs are drenched with blood,
which, Of course, could not be shed
without the destruction of some form
of Westminster Review.

SHE WAS ABsENTMINDED.

A Quarter Which a Beggar Was Not
to Spend For Drink.
''For Gods sake give hungry man a
little money to buy something to eat"
entreated a beggar of a woman in
West Third street The beggar was
by no means absentminded, but the in
dividual to whom he spoke was. She
passed on several yards without MOTTO
ing him, when it suddenly occurred
to her that to man, perhaps starving,
who had asked bread she had given a
stone, or at least a stony stare. So
she took % cents from her purse and,
turning quickly, hurried after a man
passing down the street
Here" she said, touching him on
the arm; there is a quarter for you.

It,"
Before the 2stonished person to
whom she had given the money could
utter word she had departed.

women should run after me on the
street to give me money" CALCULATED
the man, "but will spend it for drink
since she particularly requested me
not to-"
A few steps farther on he was met
by seedy looking fellow who began,
For Gods sake, give" etc.
Eyes, my man, think this was in
tended for you. A young woman sent
it to you, but you are not to spend it
for drink" And he passed on with a
light heart, while the beggar tested
the quarter suspiciously, casting an
eager glance ahead at the nearest sa-
loon.-New York Press.

At one of the regattas of the Nation
al Association of American Oarsmen
during the early nineties James Pilker-
ton, for many years the champion soul
Ter Of America, was matched to row
double against another team. He and
his mate were the champions, and the
general belief was that they would win
without effort But the night before
the regatta public opinion suddenly
and mysteriously changed. Mr.. Pill
kerton knew that this was not caused
by any new development of strength
in his opponent or any loss of skill on
his own part. After making some quiet
inquiries he discovered that there was
talk of his rowing mate having been
bought up by the other side and Of an
arrangement to throw the race.
He didn't say anything about his sus-
picions, but when the two men were
seated in the shell and were well out
into the deep water he leaned over to
his mate and said:
Look her, you blooming cutthroatl
You've got to swim, drown or win this
race! You know mew He won.-Sat-

An xtaIian Who Demanded Music OF
the Street Car Conductors.
The conductor of a Brooklyn trolley
car had peculiar experience with an
Italian one night last week. The
Italian wanted to ride with music
thrown In for his cents. A passenger
described the incident:
II boarded the car with six other pas
sengers, including an Italian, at the
suburban end Of the road on one Of the
late trips. The car had gone a short
distance when the conductor began to
collect the fares. The Italian was on
the rear seat, and his money was col
lected last. Everything went well for
about half mile, when the Italian
Jumped to his feet and waved his
hands at the conductor. The conductor
went to the excited man and asked him
what the trouble was The Italian
said:
"'Me wanta my fva centa back
''The conductor told him that he
could not have the money. The Italian
Insisted:
Every boda getta music for Eva
centa; me no got
1.-THE conductor grasped the situation
at once, and, seeing that he was ac-
cused of 'nickeling,' started to clear
himself. He showed the italian that
there were seven passengers on the
car and that that number Of fares were
registered. He also explained why the
Italian did not get any music for his
nickel. He said:
"tWhile collecting the fares in the
front part of the car rang up one
fare too much. and If rang up yours
would be out cents
while this explanation was going on
the man from Italy was still shouting
for his 'tiva centa,' and did not stop
until he got off the car farther down,
still jabbering at the conductor. New

There Is young man in Brooklyn
who needs a tonic of some kind, else
he would not have failed to embrace as
attractive an opportunity as ever
comes to one. He accompanied a
charming young woman to a church
wedding on the park slope and arrived
at about the time the bride and groom
were due. The young woman with
him was dressed somewhat as the
bride was expected to be clad, and as
) she walked up the main aisle of the
church with her escort the organist
began to play the wedding march. The
couple, however, instead Of going on to
the altar, stopped in one Of the pews
not far from the front. One Of the
ushers came forward and told them
that the clergyman was waiting for
them, and their friends near, perceiv-
ing the situation, urged them to re-
spond to the summons. The young
woman said she was ready and will

Science has come to the conclusion
that scurvy is caused by the impover-
ished condition of the blood, and that,
in turn, Is caused by poor food, and
especially by tainted meat 1t used to
be considered that scurvy was caused
by the want of fresh vegetables or lime
Juice, but 1t is known now that the eat
ing of sailed or improperly preserved
meat or tainted meat In any form can
produce scurvy even when lime juice
or vegetables are being taken at the
same time.
