The WAY to Elect Parker.
II. S. FAIRALL,
Secretary.

The Democratic National Commit
tee is Offering a reward, we under
stand, to any one who will name the
way to carry the country for Mr..
Parker. We claim the reward with
the following suggestion: Get all
the savings bank depoS;tors of the
United States to vote for him.
There are more than 1000, 900 saw
ings bank accounts in the country.
Whoever can get those depositors to
vote for him has a "cinch" on the
election. In the elections of 1896 and
1900 Mr.. Parker voted to Bryanize
the savings OF those depositors-that
is, to make every dollar on deposit
worth fifty-cent piece. The depo-
sitors themselves voted to keep lOO
cents of value in every dollar of their
savings, and they elected Mckinley
and established the gold standard
so firmly that even Mr.. Parker now
regards" it as being an actual fact,
though he has not told US what he
believes about it as principle.
All that Mr.. Parker needs to do is
to induce those savings bank deposi-
tors, whose deposits he voted to cut
in half, to give him their unanimous
vote and he will be as certain Of cleo

CASTE IN INDIA.
It's Peculiaritics Illustrated by the
Religion of the Sweeper.

It's Pecuiiaritics Illustrated by the
Religion of the Sweeper.
Among the yet unsolved problems of
Indian ethnology is the religion of the
sweeper caste. 1t seems clear enough
through all the confusion that the SUI
pren'e deity of the Chuhras is Lalijura,
or Lalberg "a god without form or
dwelling place"
A mound of earth, surmounted by
piece of stick and a bit of cloth for
flag, is this deity's shrine, and to it
''poojah'' is made and little sacrifice
offered of ghee, or grain. 1t needs no
conservation, this simple shrine, and
wherever the sweeper may be, if sick
ness comes or a gift is desired, the lit
tie shrine may be set up. with it's queer
bit of rag and stick, and the worship
er's prayer is made.
The sweeper will have nothing to do
with the transmigration of souls. Once
a sweeper always a sweeper, and even
the ideal sweeper, Pr Jhota, with his
broom of gold and basket of silver,
cleans new the fourth heaven, the
house Of God, and sweeps the apart
ments of the highest" The good sweep
er goes to heaven, however, after
death, but in the heaven of a sweeper
there is nothing to do but battle and sit
at ease.
The bad sweeper on the other hand,
goes to hell, where he is tormented by
fire and wounds till the deity is pleased
to vOuchSafe relief. Between these
two extremes is kind of purgatory,
where the sweeper who is not good
enough for the one place and not bed
enough for the other undergoes a sort
of probation which either kills or
cures him.
OF Balmik. the great leader of one
sect Of sweepers and now himself, like
Pr Jhota.' sweeper in the courts Of
heaven, the accounts differ so widely
that it is difficult to identify him. 1t
seems clear, however, that with the
profession Of sweeper he combined the
recreation Of poetry, and there is some
amount of evidence in favor of his
having been the author of the "Ramu-
ana"
He is alternately represented as a
low caste hunter of the Karnal Nardak
and as a Bill highwayman who was
converted by a saint whom he was
about to rob- There is a legend, too,
that he laid down his life for the
sweepers of Benares and induced the
people of that city to admit sweepers
into their presence, as they had never
done before.
AS for Lalberg, the other great lead
er, he takes us back at once to the days
Of HOmeric myth. He was born from
the coat of Balmik and sucked by a
hare in proof whereof Chuhras to
this day abstain from eating hares.
On the other hand. Iceberg was also
born of pitcher through the power of
Abdul Kader Kilani, and when the
Prophet Elias was turned into a
sweeper for splitting on the saints in
heaven it was Lalberg who relieved
him.-Times of India

STRANGE RAT TRAPS.
The Way Ostrich Eggs Are Utilized
In COptic Churches.

The Way Ostrich Eggs Are Utilized
In COptic Churches.
Ostrich eggs are regarded by the
Copts as the natural emblem of watch
fulness and practical effect is given to
this idea among these people by the
very curious use to which they put
them in their public buildings, particu-
larry in those devoted to the celebra-
ton of divine worship. Whoever en-
tiers a COptic church cannot fail to
notice the numerous ostrich eggs which
hang above and around him.
The explanation is simple The
churches are much infested by rats
and these animals, as experience has
shown, have been in the habit of crawl
ing down the cords by which the lamps
are suspended, for the purpose of get
ting at the oil and drinking it. To
hinder these four footed thieves the
cord belonging to each lamp is passed
through the shell Of an ostrich egg,
which is thus fixed at a moderate dis
lance above the lamp. The smooth
polished surface of the shell offers an
impossible barrier to the willy and adj
venturous 1Jdents, so that they in
variably slide off and tumble to the
ground if they attempt passage.

"A Woman's Complexion.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasines
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or "local' treatment, as advocated
by the 'beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood

acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the

THE EARLIEST COMEDY.
Il Was Played at Athens by the
First Travelling Actors.

It Was Played at Athens by the
First Travelling Actors.
The first recorded comedy was play
ed at Athens, b. c. 578, when Susarion
and DOlon, the earliest travelling ac-
tors, performed a comedy of Susarion's
composition on a movable stage mount
ed upon four wheels The new form
OF play was SO successful that the ac-
tors were rewarded by the grateful
pOpulace with a cask Of wine and a
basket of figs.
"Susarion belonged to Megaris, a state
OF ancient Greece, whose inhabitants
were celebrated for their coarse hui
NOR, and who, in their villages during
the evenings, were wont to hold what
they called comus; really a revel, in
which impromptu acting, coupled with
bufoonery, played considerable part
From this word we have our comedy.
In England the old miracle plays de-
generated very early into what but
for their religious associations were
mere farces, but the first p W y Eng
iish comedy was one by Udall, an as
sistant master at Elton, and suisse
Quently head master of Westminster
school. 1t was entitled "Ralph Rois-
ter-DoiSter" and seems to have been
performed in London about 1851, being
published in 1866, ten years after it's
authors death.
