India's Idols.

The number of India's idols is said to
exceed $4,000 900. Every village has
its special idol, and frequently NOR
than one Brahma is the supreme god.
and appears in three forms-Brahma.
the creator, Vishnu, the preserver, and
silva, the destroyer. Each of the three
is supposed to be married, and thus
there are six deities which are supreme
in India. Vishnu the preserver. the
most worshipped, is shown black; and
with four arms. His wife. LAkshmi.
is the goddess of prosperity and good
luck. Very different are silva and his
wife. He isathe destroyer, and is rep
resented as a man powdered over with
ashes and wearing. a tiger-skin. A
necklace of human skulls decorates his
throat, while he carries a club or tri-
dent. surmounted by human heads and
bones. China and Japan have immense
numbers Of idols, many Of their tenn
pies being full of them. One japanese
temple at Sanjusangendo has so many
that, II placed in line, they would ex-
tend for not less than half a, mile.
Many of the Chinese are said to spend
from 20 to Is per cent of their income
on idol worship.

possible to travel all the way by rail
from lAthens>to Paris. A concession to
build the line was granted in 1889, but
the government declared it forfeited

They laughed him 70 scorn and de-
clared that in all the land Little ln1in
could. find no squaw. But determines
to follow the advice of the good spirit.
Little Injin now left his people. and
he journeyed to 8 valley far In the
east, where he met an Indian girl who
became his squaw. Then came a
papoose to Little 1njin. and he grew
and he grew, until he Was over six
feet tall,and had the strength Of a bear
and the feetness of the deer. All the
other Indians in the valley becdme
afraid of. him, and he was SOON known
far and wide as a great hlnter and a
mighty man when at q
Then the good spirit again called on
Little Injin and said to him:
Little Injin, you 60 now back to
your people. Take your son, the big
Injin, and tell him to call all his
braves in the valley and go, with you
with their bows and arrows. their
beads and war paint, to fight the In
dams of the mountain"
The Indians Of the valley marched
upon the long journey to tie noun

bad spirit. in the form of a woodpeck-
er, from his nest in the mountain, saw
the valley Indians approach across
the plain. So he few as fast as he
could to the camp Of Singing Water,
and he warned him and his people.
''The big Injin and his braves from the
great valley are coming to make war
on you, and I warn you not to run but
to fight them. You can easily whip the
big Indian and his braves"
The next day a great battle was
fought between the Indians of the
mountain and those of the valley; and
the legend tells the result in these few
words: Mountain 1njin no run, away;
he fight valley Injin. Valley Injin
heap kill Mountain Injin; he strong,

In the mountains west Of the big
gorge lived the tribe OF Cappa Tom.
and the chieftain Of the tribe, Singing
Water, was proud Of his 500 braves,
who were tall and 1.-THE and strong
and mighty huntsmen; and he was
proud Of the buxom squaws and the
fat papooses in the mountain camp.
No enemy in the region for a hundred
leagues about dared give battle to
Singing Water, for the fame Of his
braves had spread ever to the great
forest on the north and the marsh
lands on the south.
Once upon a time, so the legend
says, Singing Water found among the
children in the tepees a poor little
papoose, a shrunken, diminutive dwarf
child. Of whom the other Indian boys
made sport and forbade him their
amusement; SO Little Injin" would
sit cross-legged apart from his fellows,
and watch them at play.
/. Chief Singing Water sent for him
one day, and to the trembling, shrink
ing, little figure before him he grunted
words of dfsapproyal.a land with q frown
on his face he spoke to Little In
lin"
"Ha! Little Injin. You good not at
all. You very small! You crooked
like manzanilla tree; you sick like dy-
ing squaw; you ugly like sinking fox;
you can no fight, you can no hunt. So,
ugh! You 90 old squaw; you grind
acorns, you make fires, you cook, like
sQuaw. Little lnjin, you no good"
When the words. were uttered a
change came over the face and form
Of Little Injin. He stood as erect as

rive at accurate conclusions. During
the last ten years the character Of
western range cattle has undergone a
change, owing to the use on those
herds Of better and heavier bulls than
formerly. Comparisons of numbers do
not show the meat supply. 1t is not
the numbers Of cattle that affect the
market, but the weight of meat they
produce. It is therefore probable that
the supply of cattle in the future. that
Is, during the next five years, will ex-
coed considerably most Of the esti-
mates.

Salt and Ashes for Hogs.

One item of feed which should never
be neglected is a good supply Of salt
and ashes to which the hogs can have
access at all times. Wood ashes can
always be had and the hogs should
have all they will eat. When not con-
venient to give ashes, charcoal is a
good substitute, and even soft coal
will be eaten for want of something
better. Hogs are never injured by
eating all the ashes they want, but 1t
is not safe to give large amounts of
salt to animals not accustomed to its
use. The salt and ashes mixture
should be kept in a low box under a
shed where it will be protected from
rain, and should consist of about two
quarts Of salt for each bushel or
ashes. Many feeders prefer to add a
few ounces Of copperasi to the mixture.
Free access to such q mixture will do
much to preserve the health Of hogs,
and sows which have had an abund-
ance' Of such food will rarely eat their
young.

his crooked limbs would permit, and
with a set. stern face and an angry
voice he dared answer Singing Water.
"Big chief, you say Little Injin NO
good. Little lnjin sick; Little Injin
crooked; Little Injin ugly; Little Injin
no fight; Little Injin no hunt; only
grind acorns and make fires for squaw.
Little Injin no more stay with you;
Little Injin go. far of; you see Little
Injin no more!"
He hobb1ed away from the presence
Of Singing Water, and that night he
Left the camp, and through the long
hours until the. dawn Of another day
he limped along the path that led to
nowhere in particular. BY the light
Of the moon he crossed the creeks and
the small streams, and the stars point
ed him q way over the hills and
through the valleys.
Finally Little Injin reached the sum-
NIT Of a high mountain, and lay down
to rest his tired limbs. He was faint
and sore; and could not eat the ber-
ries that grew in abundance ON the
mountain slope, he could not sleep, for
his eyes would constantly fill with
tears. He lay there for a long time, a
sobbing in his throat. a patter Of tears
falling On his m%occasins.
Then a good spirit came on the
mountain top, and touched him light
" on the shoulder. It was like a
woman's touch-like his mother's,hack

Cattle Supplies.

Probably no one a figure accu-
vately the condition of the future cat
tie market. All attempts to find out
che available supplies have so far been
based on estimates, which are more or
less good guesses. Opposing factors
have been at work that affect the
situation quite seriously. In the first
place the consumption Of meat has
been increased by the better business
of the country. This has caused a
rise in price, which in turn stimulated
the production of more beef animals.
More cows have been bred to better
bulls than for some years. This breed
ing to better bulls means a direct in
crease in the amount Of meat being
produced. The sire Of the calf deter
mines to q large extent the size to
which the calf is to grow, and conse-
Quently the weight that he will dress at
one or two years Of age. This is one
Of the factors that is likely, to affect
the market in the future. The gov
eminent II about to take . census Of
the cattle In the country, and II u ex-
pected that this will give data Of more
value than No have ever before pos
eessed. But if men try to figure out
