A Rocking Shrine.

The most wonderful temple in the
world is built on rocking stone on
the summit of mountain in northern
India which is over 10000 feet high.
The rock weighs many thousands of
TONS but is balanced on so fine point
that comparatively light pressure is
sufficient to make it sway. Hindoo
priests teach their followers that this
rock was placed in position bv the help
of the gods, and thus they add consid-
erably to the feeling of awe which they
desire to create.
Worshipers at this shrine must first
make perilous ascent Of the noun
tain. Then they spend seven days Of
preparation in temple built on the
solid mountain before they are permit
ted to make the final passage to the
mysterious rocking stone. To reach
this 1t is necessary to cross bridge
over a great chasm, for nature and
man have combined to make this Hin
doc shrine difficult Of access After
crossing the bridge the pilgrim mounts
ladder, to which he clings in terror
for his life here and In the hereafter
The temple on the rock is necessarily
small. Three priests oficiate there,
but its mysteries no man Is permitted
to reveal. Europeans have seen it only
from distance.

The Human Body.

The blood, muscles, bones and other
parts Of the human body are composed
Of many chemical constituents, and
correct chemical analysis would be
long and tedious. The specific gravity
Of the blood is 1,02s, and 779 parts Of
every 1000 are water. OF the other
parts chloride Of sodium, chloride po-
tassium, carbonate magnesia, calcium
phosphate, calcium lactate, potassium
phosphate, sodium carbonate and other
constituents are found. This is gen.
orally true, with variations also, of
tissues and bone. The fundamental
substance Of bone is composed of or
gantc matter, combined with various
inorganic salts, in which calcium phos-
phate largely predominates. In addi-
ton the bones contain calcium carbon
ate, calcium fuoride, magnesium phos-
phate, sodium phosphate and sodium
chloride

The Lfme Juice Island.

Nearly all the lime juice used in the
world comes from the tiny island OF
Montserrat, in the British West In
dies. The lime grows wild in many
West Indian islands, but only in Mont
serrat is it used commercially. That
island is one vast garden of lime trees,
and nowhere in the world Is there a
finer sight than its thirty miles of
orchards, laden with the fruit Of the
lime or fragrant with its blossoms.
The fruit is gathered by negro WON
en-, who carry 1t down the hills to
the shipping port in big baskets on
their heads. Like all West Indians
they are remarkable for their ability
to carry heavy weights in this manner
Once the company which controls the
lime juice industry sought to tighten
the burden Of Its laborers By introduc.
ing wheelbarrows.
The negroes filed the wheelbarrows
readily enough, and then carried them
on their heads as they had been used
to carry the baskets. Many a negro
woman will carry hundredweight OF
lines on her head for a distance of 8
mile CT more.-Indianapolis News.

Chair Pastures,

It Is one thing to have chair and
another to know how to sit on It The
ideal Of graceful sitting posture has
varied in the different ages Of the
world. The Egyptian sat bolt upright,
the knees and feet closely pressed to-
gether. It was the ceremonial att,
tude. The Greeks and Romans, when
they were at liberty to forget their
dignity, sat STOPPING with one or both
elbows supported by the arms Of the
chair.
The Chinese ideal was with the
knees and feet wide apart. They have
maintained that attitude in sitting for
400 years. The Saxons and early Noy-
man kings are represented in OLD
manuscript and on coins in the same
position. Down to "a date compare
lively recent, kings and queens re-
cetved sitting st1ff1y on their thrones,
any marked change Of posture being
thought to derogate from the royal dig
nifty. They now receive standing.

Uninsured Treasures.

It is startling to think that while al
most any bridesmaids shop that might
be burned down is covered by insur-
ance the British museum, if it were
burned down tomorrow, would not cost
the insurance companies one halfpen-
ny. Neither would the houses of par
lament. They stand for f3,OOO,OOO,
but not one single sovereign of this
vast sum is covered by insurance.
Three thousand pounds year is spent
on force of police and fremen to pro-
tect the houses Of parliament by day
and night, and the British museum
pays the rent of a fireman's house in
Coram street, but that is the full cost
Of the precautions against fire In these
places. The British museum, believing
that prevention is better than cure, has
no artificial light on its innermost re-
cesses-St James Gazette.

Curry.

Curry Is native to India. 1t is con-
course of atoms, not fortuitous, but as
a marvellous result of the Hindoo sub
tlety, Judgment and taste, as Nfrvana
and the transmigration of souls are Of
the subtlety, philosophy and attractive
ness Of the Buddhistic belief. Curry is
vegetable; rather curry is vegetables.
1t is anise, coriander, cumin, mustard,
poppy seeds, allspice, almonds, asafeti-
da, ghee, cardamom Seeds chill berries,
cinnamon, cloves, cocoanut, cocoanut
milk, oil, curds, fenugreek seeds, an In
dian nut can't spell, garlic, onion, GIN
ger, lime Juice, vinegar, mace, man
goes, nutmeg, pepper, saffron, salt, tam
arinds and turmeric.
These are all pounded together, dried
in an oven or in the sun. When bot
tied, It is the powder which comes to
US as Indian curry. Now, is it not
worth adm1ring the wit and skill that
have brought together such number
Of ingredients and out of them have
evolved an article so entirely different
from each and in which there is not
one elementary trace?-Harpers.

The Banks of Newfoundland.

The finest Goldfish in the world are
caught on the banks of newfoundland
These banks have no connection with
the shores Of the islands, from which
indeed the nearest is almost 100 miles
distant. They are really great rocky
heights rising from the bottom of the
sea. The great bank measures $40
miles from north to south. and from
east to west it measures in places 300
miles. On this bank the depth of wa
ter varies from 80 to $50 feet, but the
depth around it is from 10000 to $780,
600 feet.
The fishing grounds or ''cod mead
ows," as they are called-do not cover
the whole bank, but are about 200
miles long by 81 broad. Though these
have been fished for 400 years the cod
are as plentiful as ever. To the east
of the great bank lies the outer or false
bank, where the sea Is from 800 to 600
feet deep. The cod caught on the
banks are finer and larger than the
fish taken off the Labrador coast. This
is supposed to be due to the fact that
they have reached the age of four
years and upward, at which age their
habits lead them to feed on the banks
In preference to the shore, where the
younger fish remain all the year.

A Legend Of February


Here is the pretty legend which tells
why February has only twenty-eight
or twenty-nine days Long ago, they
say, February was gambler, and he
was so unlucky that he soon lost all
his money. Like other gamblers, he
tried to recover it, and he said to his
companions that If they would lend
him some money he would give them
as security one of his days. January
and March, who We're naturally asso-
ciated with him more often than any
of the other MONTHS accepted his Of
fer, and as poor February soon lost the
money which he had borrowed each of
them acquired one Of his days.
That is why January and March have
each thirty-one days and February has
only twenty-eight in ordinary and
twenty in leap years.

Chenistrx OF a Tear.

A tear from the eye of representa-
tive of the Caucasian races is found to
be composed of water, salt, soda, phos-
phate Of lime, phosphate of soda and
mucus. From the eye of an African
the elements composing the tear are
found to be the same as the above,
with the single exception of the phos-
phate of soda and with the addition of
slight trace of ammonia The Eski-
mos and the fishing Firms seldom shed
tears, but when they do chemists say
they are exceedingly salty.
The chemical elements in the Cauca-
sian tear arrange themselves into par
ticles that hook like fish bones, those
from q ngru's tear form rude cross,
while the same process of evaporation
leaves the chemicals in an Eskimo's
tear In the shape of a bow.

Naming the Houae.

The custom of naming a ship when
it is launched with the breaking Of a
bottle Of wine on the PROV is q sur
yival of an ancient practice which had
many forms. In early times, when tina
frame of housa was raised, the bot
tie of wine Was broken on the ridge
pole. The usage is mentioned in Nc
Lellan's History Of Gornam, Maine."
1t was the custom at raising to
break bottle II spirit on the ridge
pole and to repeat some rhymes, nam
ing the Frame as 1t was called. When,
in 1889, Jacob 81. Clement Of West
Gorham raised stable, John Phinney
an old Revolutionary soldier who was
present, repeated the following lines,
which he said were used In naming
the frame of Captain John Stephen
sons house and barn, which were
raised about IT'S:
FOR TIE HOUSE FRAME.

Ruttoning a Coat.

Buttoning mans coat from right to
left was the original way, when our
ancestors, wrapped in skins, held the
right edge with the left hand and
naturally inserted fastening thorn
with the right hand. This right to left
custom has been retained by the He
brew priests in their garb to this day.
When fighting men became necessary
and swords and knives had to be
drawn by the right hand from the
left side, the edge Of the coat, buttoned
from right to left, was found to be In
the way, and men began buttoning
from the left Nonfghting women
and priests continue to follow the old
custom.

Young Plants.

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out Of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.
