scAFFoLo POLES TO HIRE.

One of Various Interesting Features
of the Pole Yard Business.
"Scaffold Poles to Hire"
80 read sign painted on the end Of
building standing in a pole yard. and
man whose eye CHANGED to fall upon it
wondered just what it meant. He had
heard Of renting steam boilers and pianos
and horses and railroad cars and so on.
and he knew that there Is scarcely any
thing, perhaps nothing. that cannot be
rented. but he had never heard before of
renting scaffold poles, and it seemed an
odd thing to do.
As a matter of fact there are lots of
scaffold poles rented. 1t Is an old and
to those who have occasion to know
about II familiar branch of the pole yard
business.
Scaffold poles are rented, of course, most
largely to builders, and there are more
builders who hire scaffold poles than
there are who own them. This for the
simple reason that It is for most build
ers cheaper to hire. The very largest
builders who must have a yard anyway
in which to keep material and plant of
one sort and another own their own
scaffold poles and keep them when not
in use in their own yard where they have
room for them.
The smaller builder. having very likely
no material yard, has no convenient place
to store poles when not in use. and he
hires poles, as for that matter some of
the larger builders do also.
Scaffold poles are let at so much for
a job, whether it is few days or weeks,
but while q builder keeps the poles for
one price on one job as long as he may
need them he cannot IL he gets through
with a job early haul the poles off to set
mp on another job without paying more
rent.
The life of a scaffold pole Is about six
years. A pole yard man said that they
could be made to last ten years by care.
People always drive nails into scaffold
poles. These nails rust, and the wood
around them rsts, and che pole gradually
goes to decay. II the poles were all
carefully overhauled and looked after
when they came back to the yard from a
Job and the nails all pulled out, they
would last four years longer. but this Is
not done for the simple reason that it
wouldn't pay. The cost of the work
would be greater than the gain by it. and
90 they use the poles as long as they are
at to use and then chop them up.-New
York Sun.

The Vigorous Way They Have OF
Washing Clothes In India.

The Vigorous Way They Have of
Washing Clothes In India.
The following extract is from the letter
of young medico in India:
81 have just extricated myself from an
awkward fix. The washer people here
take your best shirt to a stream, dip 1t
in the water and then smack II hard on a
bowlder, repeating the process again and
again till hole Is made in the linen.
Then and not before do they regard that
particular article as finished.
81 objected to this and told my washer
man that ] didn't want holes knocked
into my clothes.
"'But, master. how, then, am I to
know when they are fnishedT he asked
81 couldn't knock any sense into his
head. so l tried to get somebody else to
do my work. But nobody else would do
1t for me. l discovered that sort of
tribal trades union exists here. Each
kind of work is done by a particular
caste.
Zone caste limits itself to boot clean
ing, and the only scope which another
allows for its genius is carrying. II you
badly treat the man who cleans your
boots or sack him. he reports you to his
tribe, and unless you clean your boots
yourself they will ever remain dirty. for
no other member Of that tribe will clean
them for you. nor will anybody else. for
the work is not consistent with the dig
nifty of the carrying, washing or any 9th
er caste.
"There being no help for It. had to
go back to my old washerman. and 1t
was only by brides and entreaties that j
could get him to forgive me.
"Now, l want you to send me two doz-
en- shirts and let them be of the strongest
quality. If he must knock holes In them.
/ am determined that he will have to
work hard. 1t is possible that i may
have some further trouble with him. for
If the holes take a long time coming he
may complain that he cannot finish my
washing.
"These ignorant fellows always re-
quire some sign by which their actions
are to be guided.
"When one Of them Is eating, how do
you think he Is to tell when he has had
enough? When he takes no further In
terest in his food. you might say. But,
no. he might be suffering from indigestion
or some other ailment, he argues. and
therefore not be able to judge when be
had eaten the proper quantity.

FEAST OF HORSES.
Very Old Festival still Celebrated Pm
Htuduatan.

Very Old Festival Still Celebrated Pm
Hindustan.
Dosera, or the feast of horses" Is
very old festival in India. The Hindoos
say that on a time long ago the god
Rama went to war with the king or
Ceylon and was victorious because his
army had better horses and bullocks than
the kings army. So yearly, at the time
of q new moon, the Hindoos worship the
horses and hullocks.
I had never heard of this festival. and
on the morning of Dosera l was sur
prised to find my Arab pony Raja all
trimmed with bright yellow flowers. He
had a wreath around his neck, long
pendants of flowers hung about his ears.
anklets Of the same bright flowers were
tied around his legs just above the hoof
and again above the knees, and tiny bou-
Duets were tied to the harness in many
places and on the reins too. II was pref.
ty, and am sure Raja felt dressed up"
for he was dignified and quiet all that
day and carried his head a little higher
than usual. Sometimes he does frisky
things, but we are not at all afraid Of
him, for he is intelligent. and il we say,
"Raja! Raja" in decided tone he seems
to know that we wish him to be digni-
fed. Raja means king, and we gave
him that name because we think him the
king of Arab ponies.
At Dosera the bullocks, which are as
much used here as horses, had their
horns stained with bright colored paints.
generally a different color for each horn.
and strings of little tassels of many diff
ferent colors were tied from the tip of
one horn to the tip Of the other, or bright
pieces of ribbon would be used instead Of
the tassels.
The white horses, of which there are
very many here. and the white bullocks.
too, were painted, some in stars or in
round dots. Others had the rising sun
painted on both sides of their bodies i'll
red and gold colors. Some horses had
only their tails and names colored. while
a few drivers painted the sides of the
cart and the wheels also.
After all this decorating was finished
the people made pujah to the animals.
which means that they worshiped the
horses and the bullocks. / could not find
any one who would tell me II they wor-
SHIPPED the carts. too, but think they did.
After this is done the people give each
other presents, which should be Of gold
but as the people are most of them too
poor to give gold they give the leaf Of
the "gold" plant and that answers very
we'll.
When evening came. and the coach
man who had trimmed Raja with the
fresh flowers had not received back
sheesh." he felt very much neglected and
sent word to me that it was the custom
Of the country to give the coachman u
donation. I sent him a rupee and made
him quite happy.-St. Nicholas.

Couldn't Find IL.

I heard the other day a funny story
illustrating the ignorance and stupidity
of some Russian provincial governors
The Russian government resolved to
gather some statistics regarding Its far
off province. and to that end dispatched
letters of searching minu;eness TO all the
officials. One -Ias received at St Peters
burg in which a certain question In re-
gard to the progress of civilization was
thus answered.: 1.-THE civilization Is not
to be found in my province. 1t may be
on the Chinese border, but two Cossack
horsemen have been sent to hunt II up"
On further inquiry the fact was devel
oped that the official thought some un

A Ceyron Cocoa m mt Forest.

The tree which gives character to the
landscape in the island of Ceylon is the
cocoanut palm, whose slender grayish
trunk scars up for 60 or so feet and then
bursts into a dense crown Of great feath.
cred leaves. each from 10 to IL feet in
length. These palms grow close together
in vast groves, and to one walking about
under their shade their appearance is
very striking and recalls the comparison
which has been so often made between a
forest and a cathedral. for there is rude
but evident resemblance to architecture
In the lofty aisles formed by the shafts
of the palms and rooted in by the arched
