Especial Chicago Letter.l

TXTEBSTER says that religion is
wv "any system of faith and wor-
ship" This is generally ac-
knowledged to be an age of religions
but it would be too much to ask
that large proportion of the devo-
tees of the various cults in vogue
should have faith or belief in all the
tenets of the sect to which they
ardently attach themselves to-day,
only to seek another tomorrow.
They worship for many reasons, chief
est of which is, perhaps, that it
pleases their selfhood to differ from
average people who accept the be-
iefs to which they were born, and
adhere to them. 1t would surprise
the latter, probably, to know how
many worshipers and SURVIVOR
shippers there are right mere in Chi
cago to-day. Divination, by consult
ing the stars, palmistry, omens and
certain mysterious rites with which
the uninitiated are but little famil-
lar, are steadily becoming more pop
ular.
While there is no doubt that the

ward higher spiritual development,
the number of those who have re-
vived and are practicing the reli-
gions of the ancients is by no means
small. This has brought about a
general interest in animal worship,
the different forms of which are be-
ing studied on all sides, and present
many curious features. Among prim-
tive peoples animals are regarded as
possessing souls which, in many in
stances, formerly animated human
bodies. A likeness is recognized be-
tween the animal and some deceased
friend, and the animal receives great
honor. Here a distinct link is found
between ancestor worship and animal
worship. There are few well-known
animals that have not in some time
or place figured conspicuously in such

EGYPTIAN GOD WITH RAMS HEAD.

eagle-headed deity of Assyria. Chick
ems and doves were used in divina-
ton. The lamb often figures in diff
ferent forms of worship. The great
Egyptian god, Ammon. is represented
as having a rams head. The goat
also received honor. The Siamese
venerate white elephant. The
greater part of the zodiacal signs are
represented by animals. Legends OF
Vishnu closely resemble the red In
dian myths and totemism is in the
same class. The Indians manitou is
generally an animal chosen by him
self when he reaches maturity and
later adopted as the totem of his
tribe. A picture of his manitou is
often painted on his skin. Tattooing
and heraldry are remnants of idol

There is one superstition OF wide

against one Of the most beautiful OBJ

my town failed in business, and what
do you think he did? Took his opal
ring into the yard and smashed It to
pieces with a. hammer! He did that in
the Nineteenth century! He ascribed
his bankruptcy to that opal, and he
intended neither to suffer such misfor-
tune again nor to allow any other one
to do 80 by inheriting or buying that
ill-starred property. IS. a: ssss

his wife by shooting her in the head

out OF a delayed dinner is supposed to

BLuthy is in hospital, and though the
self-infiicted wound is serious It may
not prove fatal. He says his wife tried
to shoot him first. @
