THE HINDU'S RELIGION.
II Seems to FIJI All HIS Requirements
and la Indeed "A Part of
Himself.

Why, the Hindu asks himself, should
he accept this western religion? He
has one Of his own, ancient, potent. elias
tic; it embodies his instructive genius.
suits his special needs, is older han the
Christian, rests on thought he has
elaborated. and many western men
have learned TO admire, says the Con-
temporary Review. To surrender his
religion would be TO make a complete
surrender of himself, his past, his sep
arate mind and being. and to become
a mere echo of the civilization he de-
spises.
The Hindu reaction is thus a very
real force. moved by reasons we
cannot but respect. Patriotism
lives behind and within it; in
it the orient stands up against the
occident, defies it, challenges its right
to come east and impose itself on
what is older, more congenial to the
oriental nature and too deeply rooted
to be plucked up by alien hands And
so we need not be surprised to find
the refCrmer succeeded by the reae-
tioiNry, though behind the veil of his
reaction the spirit that would reform
still lives.
I-ir the Hinduism he defends is not
the Hinduism of the multitude, the
religion of the street and the temple.
of Kali Chat and the Durga puja, of
the sacred river OF caste; it is an ideal
lied system, eclectic, clothed in gar
ments which are lieirlooms from the
/ last but ouickened by a spirit which
belongs to the present. Not oil it
finds in Hinduism is Indian, but some
of it is very occidental indeed.

BoNAPARTIST nobility.
How a Number of Them Have Sue
eeeded in Gliding Their
CcrOnets.

The Bonapartist nobility have tall
ent for gliding their coronets through
marriage. says London Truth. A Ney
in 1880 secured the heiress of Laftte,
the banker. His nephew married the
adopted daughter of Nine. Heine. Due
de Rivoli married the latter when she
was Dowager Duchesse d'Elchingen.
He and she are now prince and princess
Of Essling. Most of the Murats have
married great heiresses. Prince de
Wagram is husband of a Frankfort
Rothschild. Fouche. Duo d'Otrante, is
settled in Sweden, and has had matri-
monial fortune there. Due de TaTente
has just married the widow of NJ.
Camescasse, who was an eminent bar
rister, project of police, deputy and one
of the most amiable Frenchmen ] ever
knew. The new Duchesse de Tarenie
is boss of the General Company of
Omnibuses and has fortune from other
sources. She has two daughters nearly
grown up who attended the wedding.
They give promise of beauty. The we'd
ding took place at Douai. Marshal
Macdonald, first Due de Tarente, was
not Scotch by birth. but the grandson
of q Scotchman who was driven by the
defeat of the second pretender TO take
refuge in France. He settled at Aux

A Faithful Dog.

Our Dumb Animals gives a touching
story of the wonderful heroism of a
dog last winter in the icy waters of
Alaska. Two men and the dog start
ed out from camp to find trail lead
ing away from the terrible Valdes gla-
cier. For days they wandered in the
snow till their provisions were we'll
nigh exhausted and the men could go
no further. Then one of them wrote
message on a scrap of paper, tied it
to the dogs neck. and told him to ga
lack to camp. The dog disappeared
il the snow and storm. Two days and
nights passed; when. just as they
were giving up in despair, ''out from
the binding snow bounded the faith
full dog, and close behind him came
ready hands to minister to their
wants"

Oh, yes, Joe. It's good to be sitting
Down here where the rich people are,
10 have money to squander for flowers
Coneealing cheap notes TO the star:
10 visit around In the boxes.
To gossip concerning the play;
To stroll to and fro In the lobby
And smoke in bored sort of way:
But II doesn't come up TO the pleasure
That you and knew long ago,
When we sat in the gallery cheering
The hero along, is 1t, Joe?
There are scents OF red roses about US,
There are robes that are soft to the touch,
But somehow the things that they're doing
On the stage aren't thrilling us much;
The hero's no longer heroic,
The heroine's lost her old charm,
And the villain, who cares for his rantings7
We have ceased TO go pale with alarml
Oh, I'd give up my fairest achievement
To be sitting back there with you. Joe,
In the gallery kissing the villain
And living the scenes in the show.
There are soft eyes that look into ours.
There are whispered words pleasing to
hear;
There's charm In the lips that are smiling.
So near-so enchantingly nearl
But what of the play they are playing,
Oh. where is the thread Of the plot?
And what are the words they are saying?
We have ceased to be thrilled by such
rotl
Alas! all the beautiful faces,
All the glances Of fatterers, Joe.
Can never make up for the loss OF
Those gallery nights, long ago.
1t is good to be able to squander
A ten-dollar bill, l admit,
Without being narrowed by feelings
| OF sorrow at parting with it!
1t is pleasing to mingle with people
Who laugh at whatever we say
/ Who would nod and pass on il we didn't
Have money and fling it away
But I'd give up my fairest achievement
To be back there again with you, Joe,
When we fought for front seats and ate
peanuts,
And were gallery gods, long ago.

MINIMUM OF SLEEP.
University Students Experimenting
TO Find Ont the Least Amount
Necessary.

A very strange experiment is being
tried by an organization of university
students in Madison Wis, to lengther
working hours. Upon the theory that
sleep is. to a large extent. a matter
of habit and can be lessened by prop
er care of the system, the members
are trying to reduce sleeping hours
&c minimum consistent with con-
timed health.
The organization, says the Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune, is not in the
nature of a secret society, but it has
been working quietly in order to get
the best representatives among the
students from the various courses of
college work. The experiment was at
first begun in the Iowa university, and
while it does not appear TO take on
the character of an intercollegiate or
ganization, the Wisconsin members
have organized along the lines of the
Iowa university club. The theory
upon which the members are working
is TO get such control over the body
as to keep part of the system at rest
while the other part works; in other
words, avoiding unnecessary waste of
vital energies. Thomas A. Edison, the
great inventor, is the expositor of this
theory.
The method, as given out, is to less
en- the sleeping hours gradually and
so accustom the system to it by de-
grees. The extreme limit fixes rest
at not more than four hours a night,
thus frightening the working day
some three or four hours.

STOCK EXCHANGE
 SHOWED STRENGTH Demand for Short Interest a Strong Factor. k
 CLOSING WAS QUITE ACTIVE. The Largest Part ot Buying Was Due 2 \to Effort of Professional Traders
 to Discount Effect of the = Currency Bill

5New York, March 12.-Teday's stock mar iset was unmistakably strong throughout. fine demonstrated indifference of the mar ket on Saturday to the swift depletion of surplus reserves of New York banks took the maiastay of the bears from beneath them. The demand from short interest dwas a factor in the advance in prices, es- pecially in the Indus trials which have re- gently been under pressure.
 There were several elements of positive strength in the market also, but the largest part of the buying was undoubtedly due to the effort of the professional element among the spectators to discount the effect Of the currency bill. Not oni.' the smaller class of professionals, who have recently had the market to themselves, but opera tors of larger mould gave evidence of their interest in the market.
 The demands made by the increased ac- tivity of the stock market upon the money market was evlneed in a furry in the call money rate to per cent. The spectators paid no attention to this admonitory sys- tenn, apparently convinced that the end of the money market troubles was at hand with the enactment of the new currency flaw, which is to be sent to the president tomorrow. There were occasional periods of dullness in the market, apparently with a view to testing 1t. The quick subsistence of activity without any reaction in prices and the firmness of the resistance to de- cline confirmed the confidence of the bulls and started prices upward again.
 The closing was quite active and strong at near the top level. Net gains in the principal active Industrials and specialties, including Sugar, Tobacco, Peoples Gas, Anaconda, the iron and steel stocks and the New York Public Utilities ranged from 3 to over points,. the latter in Sugar.

COTTON MARKET :
 WAS VERY WEAK Opened Weak and Closed at
 Steady Decline. TRANSACTIONS WERE SMALL Advices Were of a Bearish Nature and
 That the Plantation Movement !
 of Cotton Will Run for
 Some Time
TRANSACTIONS WERE SMALL

New York; March 12.-The cotton market opened weak at Q decline of 11q17 points on the lower Liverpool cables, which, in view of the sharp rise here Saturday, was expected Sto show decided strength. Throughout the session the market continued more or less nervous, al though the volume of business reflected subsiding speculation. Todays transactions were the smallest since che advance cul- minated last week. Following the open ing call there was reaction on covering, due to let-u0 in the strong pressure. The early market appeared to be quAe responsive to any bullish influences, but there were not much in evidence. To the contrary, advices reaching here were gen. eraMy of a bearish prospect, and included statements indicating that the plantation movement of cotton may be relied upon to run full for some time. There was con- siderable selling in the afternoon on this statement, while the new crop positions remained relatively weak. under reports in dicating that fertilizer buying was upon a greater scale than the sales of last year. The market was finally steady at a net decline of 12Q16 points.
