AN INDIAN BOYS PONY.

An Account of His First Attempt to
Ride 1t at n Buffalo Hunt.
Thus led by those dedicated to re-
ligious service, the tribe leaves its vii
lage, the people by families dropping
into line-men, well-mounted, bearing
their weapons ready for use; women,
in gala dress, riding their decorated
ponies, older ones leading the pack
horses: little children in twos and
threes upon the backs Of steady old
nags, or snugly slowed away in the
swinging pouch between the tent-poles;
and the dogs trotting complacently
everywhere. Here and there along the
line Of the cavalcade is lad being mi
tiated into individual responsibility
He has been upon the hunt before, as
one Of the family, but this Is the first
step toward going Independently, un-
cared for as child. The father has las
seed wild horse, sadled and bridled
him, and now bids his son mount the
animal. The boy hangs back; the colt
is a fiery creature and already FESTIVE
under restraint. The father tells his
son that the horse shall be his own
when he has conquered it, but the lad
does not move. The lookers-on are
smiling, and the cavalcade does not
wait. Get up" says the father. The
boy slowly advances, and the colt
quickly recedes but the boy, grasping
his name, swings himself into the sad
die. The father let's go, and so does the
colt-rears, jumps, wriggles, humps his
back like an Infatuated cat, stands on
his fore-legs and kicks at his own tail,
paws the air and stamps the earth, but
the boy clings to him until with sud
den jerk the saddle-girth is broken, and
he is landed over the head of the ex-
cited creature, which runs for dear life
and liberty. Brought back, protesting
by twists and shakes of the head, he is
again mounted, and again frees him
self. After two or three repetitions of
this sort of thing, the boy becomes
angry, and the mother grows anxious.
She runs to her son as he is scrambling
up from the ground, feels him all over,
and moves his legs and arms to see II
he Is hurt. He is impatient at the de-
lay; he Is going to master that pony
now or die for 1t. This time he stays
on. In vain the animal lashes himself
into foam and fury; the boy sticks
to him like the shirt Of Nessus, and the
father at last leads the indivisible pair
between the tent poles which trail be-
hind sophisticated family horse, and
there, fenced in, they journey all day
trying to get used to each other. The
pony does not see his way out Of the
poles, and is forced to keep up with the
procession.

Peculiar Marriage Ceremony.

Among the Kherrias of India the
marriage ceremony is quite elaborate,
After many preliminaries the priest
begins this singular performance:
Taking small portion of the hair Of
the bride and groom in turn, from the
center Of the forehead, he draws II
down to the bridge of the nose. Then,
pouring oil on the top of the head, he
watches 1t carefully as 1t tricklea
down the portion of hair. II the oil
runs straight on to the tip of the
nose their future will be fortunate,
but II 1t spreads over the forehead or
trickles off on either side of the nose
bad luck Is sure to follow. Their for
tunes told, generally to their own sat
isfaction, the essential and irrevoca.
BILE part Of the ceremony takes place.
Standing up side by side, but with
faces strictly averted, the bride and
bridegroom mark each others fore
heads with "sindur" (vermilion) J.
Great care Is always taken that Meth.
er shall catch a glimpse of the other
during this important process, which
finally makes the couple man and
wife.

A Canny Preacher,

Major Pond was a discreet man, but
he occasionally told one celebrity a
good story at the expense of another.
One OF his favorite stories was of an
American preacher who preached in
England under his management.
The sermons attracted greater audi.
ences than either manager or preacher
had expected, and at length, one night,
as manager and managed sat talking
upon the steps Of great London
church after the delivery of success.
full sermon in a neighboring hall, the
dissatisfied preacher struck for higher
wages, and brought such arguments
to bear that the manager felt 1t neces.
sary to yield.
It was a costly talk for Major Pond,
but he keenly enjoyed the humor of
the situation and took great pleasure
in picturing the great preacher seated
in the moonlight upon the cathedral
step bargaining for higher pay for
preaching the gospel.-New York Sun

THE CHINESE DOCTOR.

the fourth sent for a native physician.
The latter duly arrived and began prep

which he announced to be due to the
presence Of darling snake in the
sufferers body. Incense sticks were
lighted and placed just outside the door,
and also in the room. A pack of fire.

paper pasted to the wall. This was
done to drive away evil spirits and at
tract good ones. The doctor next wrote
lot of characters on thick piece of
paper with vermillion pencil and set
fire to 1t. It burned into black ash
which was broken into a cup of water
and drunk by the patient. A great
bowl Of herb tea was made, Of which
a cup an hour was the allotted dose

body of my servant and drove deep into

such skill in avoiding large blood ves-
sells that the hemmorrhage was insig-
nifcant. He then covered each acu-
puncture with brownish paste, and
this, in turn. with piece of dark paper.
He then collected his fee, 80 cents, and
departed. The sufferer soon fell into
a sleep, and the next day announced
that his pains had departed. He re-

AN ODD INDIAN BELIEF.
Tradition Connected With the Division
Into Castles.

Tradition Connected With the Division
Into Castles.
According to the tradition of one OF
tho tribes of India, the sun created
a man and a woman at the beginning
OF time and this couple had twelve
children. When they had all come to
an age to shift for themselves the
sun divided them into pairs and placed
food of all kinds before them Or
their choice depended the fate of theil
descendants. Those who took vege
tables only became the ancestors Oh
the highest caste of ALL the Brah
mans, while the Santals, the lowest
OF all castles, spring from those who
chose pigs. The Kols declare that they
are descended from those who took
bullocks' flesh and to the sustaining
power of the food of their choice the
Larka. or fighting Kols, attribute
their strength and fine physique,
When these latter at the beginning
OF the last century first met English
troops they were quickly impressed
with the fighting powers of the stran
gers, and, finding that they, too, ate
bullocks' flesh, the Kols paid them the
great compliment of assigning them
the same pair of ancestors as the
kols. But by the time eleven pairs
had chosen their share of the food
provided there was nothing left for
the unfortunate twelfth couple and
they had to beg food from the others
who had Jared better. From this UNI
lucky pair spring the Chassis, who do
not work, but support themselves on
the charity and leavings Of others.

line or railway already constructed Be
sldes, the company seeks to erect separate

the policy of the city. The city has always
taken the attitude that the public comfort

station. The Indianapolis, Logansport &
chicago should not be allowed to do any
thing different, he said
l. N Richie. who negotiated the real
estate deals by which the railroad secured
optlons on its right of way through the
city answered Mr.. Davis in so far as the
remarks or the latter applied 10 himself
he admitted that he had opposed the grant

going to make the same mistake again
ne denied that the road would bring any
special hardship upon property owners and
RESIDENTS and said there was always a
complaint of that sort when a public i'm
prOVement of the nature contemplated was
to be made.
The most prominent of the others who

property owners spoke against the fran

by Mr.. Davis.
