Why HindOOs Don't Go Mad.

Why are there so few lunatic asy-
lums and so small proportion of in
sane persons in India? That Is ques-
ton which many a traveller has won
deringly asked
The IIindOos regulate their lives en-
tirely in accordance with their religion
that Is, their working, eating, sleeping,
as we'll as what we usually regard as
our "Iife" in the religious sense Of the
word. Everything is arranged for them,
and they follow the rules now just as
they did 1000 years ago. This constant
observance Of the same rules for TWEEN
ty centuries has nodded the brains of
the race into one shape, as it were, and
although their rites are queer enough,
yet there Is but an occasional example
Of that striking deviation from the
common which Is called insanity In
countries inhabited by the white race.
They are fatalists too. With them 1t
is a case Of what Is to be will be"
carried to the extreme. This has In
time given them the power to take all
things calmly and SO freed them from
the anxiety that drives so many white
men into the lunatic asylums.

Searching For q Soul.

Before the astonished eyes of num-
Der of Parisians q singular funeral GER
emory took place the other day.
A resident property owner In the Rue
Matte Brun had just died. On the even
ing of his death, when darkness had
fallen, his relations, five or six in num-
ber each provided with lantern,
slowly made the circuit Of the garden,
as If they were searching for something
in the walks. When they came to
large heap of stones, they turned each
one of them over and then re-entered
the house.
This curious procession Is an old Nor
man custom. The dead person was
native Of the country near Gisors. Be-
fore interring the dead 1t Is necessary,
according to the tradition, to investi-
gate and see that the soul OF the de-
ceased Is not concealed In n corner or
his property or under some rubbish.

Lunch Prices and Dinner Prices.

ANY one who will take the trouble to
compare the lunch and dinner menu
cards of some of the leading restau-
rants of New York will make rather
surprising discovery He will ascertain
that the prices on many dishes are cut
on the dinner card from 10 cents to 20
cents.
A gentleman whose curiosity was
aroused by this singular practice to the
extent that he went to the head waiter
for mora satisfactory reason than the
table waiter could advance was given
this explanation:
"You see" said the waiter, "thc gen
crafty Of men don't care for heavy
lunch. One dish and glass Of milk or
a cup Of coffee, with bread and butter,
are sufficient for them; consequently to
prevent them from getting Off too
cheap we have to put up the price of
single dishes. At dinner time 1t Is diff
fcrent. A man wants number of dish
es for dinner and so we can afford to
make our meats and fish cheaper"
"But do you think that Is exactly
Honest? Why not? 1t Is always
honest to take what people are willing
to pay you for what you have to sell, Is
1t not |-New York Times.

Scotch Economy.

A Scottish noble lord, famed among
his friends for his saving, or, as he
would have put 1t himself, his careful
propensities, went out one day shooting
in his broad moors, accompanied only
by his keeper. After an afternoons
hard work he sat down to rest and,
ruefully contemplating his bag, observ-
ed thoughtfully, "And to think that
each brace has cost me, first and last
at least Is shillings, DonaldT
"Eh, ch"' answered Donald consol-
ingly. "Then It's a maircy yere laird
ship missed the many We did today, for
it's nice bit we've saved, I'm think

Met His Match.

That we'll known historical person
nge, Augustus the Strong, elector OF
SaXony, has furnished the subject for
many tale Of his wonderful muscular
power We need refer only to one
characteristic story in which, however,
he met his match. On the occasion in
question he entered a blacksmith's
shop. To show his suit how strong he
was, picking up several horseshoes, he
broke one after the other, asking the
blacksmith whether he had no better.
When 1t came to paying the bill, the
Elector Augustus threw n six dollar
piece on the anvil. 1t was a very
thick coin. The blacksmith took it up,
broke it in half, saying Pardon me,
but have given you good horseshoe,
and expect good coin In return
Another six dollar piece was given
him, but he broke that and five or six
others, when the Inundated elector put
an end to the performance by handing
the blacksmith a louisd'or, pacifying
him by saying, 1.-THE dollars were prob
ably made of bad metal, but this gold
piece, l hope, Is good"

Two Battles.

Porfirio Diaz gained national promi-
nence and won his spurs at the battle
of Puebla, where the Liberal forces
made a gallant but Intellectual stand
against the French who had invaded
Mexico for the purpose Of erecting a
throne for Macmillan. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Mexican forces
were defeated, their defense against
superior numbers was SO gallant that
the anniversary of the battle Of the 9th
of May became a national holiday in
Mexico.
A brusque American once asked the
president, "Why do you Mexicans cele-
brate defeat when you know that the
French finally took Puebla"
President Diaz, with twinkle in his
eye, replied, Perhaps we have initiated
the Americans even to the extent Of
celebrating our defeats, for have been
told that the British defeated the col
onists Mt Bunker Hill, and yet you built
n monument to commemorate the
event"

Landed With Fat.

In the good old days when we were
greatly pcstercd by neighbours SOW,
or mule or bull, or dog, invading our
premises and taking unwarranted lib
critics we loaded the old shotgun with
powder and fat meat and, after serving
due notice upon said neighbor and said
notice being ignored, set out to uphold
the first law Of nature, self defense.
The amount Of execution that can be
done by a wad of fat meat on top OF
good charge Of powder Is amazing.
Wherever 1t strikes hair and hide dis
appear. 1t seldom If ever kills, but
leaves sears that time does not obliter-
ate. The fat being salty, causes eXcru-
eating pain, which fingers long In
memory, and the stricken animal does
not offend again.
A tallow candle can be shot through
n two inch oak board without injury to
the candle In like manner tallow
bullet If driven by sufficient charge Of
powder would penetrate n mans body
and grease him so well internally that
he would not care to 20 dueling again.
A CHANGING shot would pillow ugly fur
rows in the skin.-Ncw York Press.

Crabs and Holsters are Matched from
eggs, resembling upon birth nothing SO
much as the animalculn shown by the
microscope In drop Of ditch water.
They are as unlike the shellfsh they
are to become In mature life as grub
Is unlike butterfly. In the case OF
the crab the egg clusters are attached
beneath the animal after extrusion,
while with the lobster they become
fastened to the tail, which, by Its fam
ming motion, increases the stream OF
oxygenated air through and among the
Ova.
