SAVED HIS FINGER.
The Faithful Brahman Felt, How
That He HID T.0at Caata.

The Faithful Brahman Felt, How
ever. That He Had Lost Caste.
One day Brahman accidentally
touched some unclean object with his
little finger. The Brahman thought that
now, his little finger having become un'
clean, any substance which it would
touch would be also rendered unclean
and tins make him an unclean man.
teeing no other way to get out Of the
scrape he resolved to get the offending
member amputated. Forthwith he went
to carpenter and explained to him
that unless the finger was cut OF he
(the Brahman) was unable to take food
The carpenter tried to dissuade the
devotee and urged that an application
of some drops Of water from the sa,
cred river Gunga would make the fin
ger once more holy, but the Brahman
persisted. He said that the finger was
of no use TO him any longer and that
he would not rest until 1t was severed.
AS a final recourse the carpenter re-
solved to play his awkward customer a
trick. He told the Brahman to put his
finger on IN anvil and to look to the
sky while the wound was inflicted.
The Brahman did so. The carpenter
took up Ratchet and gave the finger
n smart blow with the back of 1t. This
elected cry Of pain from the pa,
ticnt, who ut once put the finger In his
mouth to allay the agony. The carpen'
ter, laughing, explained to the Brah,
man that the blow had missed and the
little finger was still entire; and, worst
of all, the Brahman had defiled himself
by putting the finger into his mouth

Two Kinds of Housekeeping.


There are just two kinds of house
keeping in this world: She Of the dusty
parlor and immaculate kitchen, and she
in whose domain conditions are reversed.
We don't know which kind is preferred
by the average husband, but sensible
man would certainly choose the first
woman for his wife. She is the woman
of discretion. She knows the true in
wardness of the housekeeping problem.
She knows that to be tidy is not neces-
sarily to be clean.
We are acquainted with an exceeding
ly neat family consisting of three adults.
Nothing can surpass the tidiness of their
house, with its comfortable cushioned
parlOr chairs and staid furniture. The
mistress was once heard to say that she
kept the. shades down the most of the
time because she did so hate dust, and
the air always appeared to be full of 1t
when the sun streamed in.
But that house smells musty, somehow.
YOn know that pungent smell lingering
in old churches? Well, that precise odor
rushes out when the front door is open
ed, and callers have been known to
sneeze before they had time to ask If
the family were at home. We suspect
that if the carpets were taken up, and
all the dark corners and closets explored,
discoveries would be made.
Then we know another house where
the shutters are always thrown open so
that the notes of dust have much oppor-
tunity to prance religiously in the sun
beams; and we confess to certain un-
tidiness about its interior. Sometimes
the polished sideboard betrays finger
marks owing to light covering of dust.
Sometimes the baby's toys litter the
mantelshelf. Sometimes there are bits
of lint on the carpet.
But then the whole dwelling is so
wholesome. No mustiness there. You
may roam from cellar to garrett, and
nowhere will you come on any undue &C,
emulation of rubbish, anything unolean'
The kitchen utensils shine from scour,
ing, the kitchen sink is as clean as the
china on the dresser.
Truth in the inward parts" was the
favorite text of an old Scotch preacher
and it applies very well to housekeeping
the test of which is thoroughness all the

do not grippe, sicken or weaken, but give

Planets and Suns May Pick Up Minor
Solar Bodies.
Jupiter Is much the biggest member
of the family Of stars which revOlve
around our sun; consequently the pow.
err of his attraction is greater than that
possessed, for instance, by the earth
Jupiter's exploits rs burglar have
caused very considerable annoyance
and Inconvenience to astronomers In
the days before his powers were fully
recognized.
In ITO there appeared fine comet
which was found to have an elliptical
orbit round the sun of SO comparatively
small size that Mr.. LeXell, Its discov'
erer, calculst ted 1t would return In five
and half years, but In ITS telescopes
were vainly focused on the spot where
1t was expected to reappear, and again
in 1871 1t disappointed all observers.
Mr.. Lexell plunged into fresh calcula.
tons and after much research found
that Jupiter was the culprit. The un-
fortunate comet had been rash enough
to plunge into the sphere Of the giant
planets attraction, with the result that
1t had been completely diverted from
its former orbit and flung Off into quite
a different one Of twenty year period
1t has never been seen again by any
one on this earth and probably never
will be.
Jupiter was also responsible for the
delay which occurred in the return OF
that splendid visitant known as Hal
ley's comet. HALEY found that he was
not the first discoverer of this big com
ct. 1t had appeared ct least twice pre-
viously. once seventy-iive years before
aud again seventy-siX years before that
The astronomer concluded that there
would be further delay in its third
return and predicted that its next ap
pcarance would be SIS days later. He
did not live to see It. But In 1858, the
year he had prophesied for its reap
peaance. astronomers were waiting
for IT.
