Where the HOurgIass II Used,

Among things not generally known
is the fact that the h%ourglass is uni
versally used on board ships in the
English navy when the log is heaved
at night.
Every hour the boatswain or one of
the boatswain's mates blows on his
whistle a peculiar shrill note called the
reel. The person in the watch to whom
this duty is assigned then heaves the
log, a small piece of wood with a sink
er fitted in it, and at that moment the
glass Is turned. Though termed an
hourglass generally, it is only a four
teen second glass really.
AS the last grain runs out the log
line is stopped with a jerk, which also
loosens the lead sinker. The log floats
up to the surface of the sea, the line is
hauled in and an entry made in the
book, which, from its containing this
among other items of the daily and
nightly events of the voyage, is called
the log book.-London Country Life.

t11NDOO CUSTOMS.
The sword Plays IN Prominent Part
In Oaths and Marriages.

The sword plays many different roles
i'll Hindoo manners and customs. There
are certain warlike tribes among whom
oaths taken over the sword are bind
ing, while taken otherwise they are
not. \ similar sentiment prevails
among some predatory classes of Eu-
rope, where oaths taken over their
weapons of offense-a dagger, a pom
lard, Il rapier-are considered binding.
The idea with these classes seems to
be that perjury committed after taking
oaths over their weapons recoil; that
they die by the weapon against which
they perjure themselves.
In Berar, in India, women who are
about to lead an irregular life marry
Il sword. This marriage in name, as
an emblem of conjugal life. serves as
a ray of consolation to them in the
midst of their evil doings. In certain
parts of India when Il Hindoo is about
to marry a third wife, which marry
ing is considered an i'll omen he mar
ries a tree, for obviating the4ell omen,
before he marries the third lady.
In Kathiawar there is still the Gus
tom for rajput princes who are much
married to marry other wives by
means of a sword. They send over
their sword to the brides people. The
bride is married to it with all the re-
quired pomp and splendor, the only diff
ference being that the princes sword
becomes a substitute for him, the
bridegroom. The legality of this mar
riage to Il sword is indisputable. The
bride married to it enters the rajput
zenana as a legally married wife.

Ancient Head Coverings.

The hat is simply a variation of and
no doubt an Improvement upon the an
cient coverings for the head, no mat
ter what their shape or material. Com
ment has beer made because some not
ed paintings of Scriptural and oriental
life do not depict the headdresses OF
the males. This is most noticeable In
paintings of ancient Syrian life, for no
doubt the Syrians wore then, as now, a
turban, thick. light and colorless, to
protect them from the burning sun.
