fectly safe from severe falls, for the
rope that hangs from the ceiling is
fastened to his belt, and his trainer
holds the far end, ready at the slightest
swerve on the pupils part to pull it
taut, and thus prevent disaster. The
greatest harm that can be done when
the life saver is used is that of mo-
mentary suspension in midair. The
nerves of a trainers hands are ex-
ceedingly sensitive, having handled the
ropes for so long time that even with
his back turned he can detect a false
move.
A hand stand and swing is taught on
the bars, and in this practice the me
chanic" is used again. The novice, still
guarded by the rope, stands on one
bar, springs to the next, and by mere
force swings up and over it. At his
second swing the professional joins
him, and away they go, around and
around, three or four times, the rope
playing out. from a coil and winding
about the pole, and so lightly does the
trainer hold it and so loosely does it

wind about the bar that it would be
little trouble to pull it tight.
This is the most dangerous part of a
beginners training. The muscles are
not yet very strong and the pupil may
think himself capable of one last revo-
luton, and if he overrates his strength
he may collapse in midair, and but for
the prompt action of his master would
come crashing to the floor.
Again, the professional who always
practices this double swing with him,
that he may turn in time and count,
is many times stronger and sometimes
forces the younger one beyond his
strength. In this case it is the. older
acrobat who must move quickly and
to avoid collision.
Tight rope work in the school calls
for the use of the Sliding mechanic"
This is a very great help to the pupil
and even the experienced in this work
find new trick more easily conquered
with the aid of the rope, and when
working on new acts the mechanic is
used in preference to the balancing
pole.
This rope is suspended from a pulley
that runs in grove in the ceiling and
moves with the performer. In learning
to balance on one foot, to do the
"split" or lie down on slender wire
this rope proves great help to the
asnirinpr acrobat
A newcomer to the juggling circle
spends many days in learning how to
hold his thumb. When the club reaches
the hand the thumb must be spread
out and must not close until the fingers
have first grasped the club This gives
the juggler perfect hold and enables
him to pass the club very quickly from
one hand to the other. When there is
juggling lesson in order you will find
two people standing opposite each
other. the trainer and his pupil. They
are engaged in industriously passing

"It is necessary to have a certain
number of Mussulman servants to

will touch your food or wash your
dishes. This is particularly the case
with meat dishes. Some vegetables
they do not mind But the same trou-
BILE arises over pork with the Mussul-
man servants. One day my cook went
on strike, and a Mussulman helper Of
fered to get the luncheon. I told him
to fry some bacon, but he murmured
apologetically that he, couldn't touch

for him and after that he slid it into

without touching it.
No Christian Servants
"They are the most imperturbable
people in the world. You may throw
one downstairs or pat him on the back;
he accepts both with exactly the same
expression of countenance. The In
dams religion is at the bottom OF all
his acts, all his feelings. He eats,
sleeps. moves and has his being accord
ing to religious formulate. And his
doctrine OF reincarnation forms his
whole philosophy of life. The fact that
you are the master now is due to the
fact that you have been the servant in
some previous reincarnation. He Is
the servant now, and the only chance
for him to be reborn in the masters
position is to learn all the lessons of
his present incarnation. He takes
everything philosophically. 1t is all
part of the days work.

1t is amusing to watch a little one
learning to balance on big painted
ball The father on one side watches
with great attention; the trainer on
the other hand forgets his gruff or
ders. Two little feet rest on the big
ball and ever so little is it turned.
The feet are always bare or have only
the little stockings on them, for in
the shoes the child is more liable to
fall The other professionals about
the room who are not working lounge

machines flying around the room makes
one giddy. Many times four men at a
time will work on wheels. They fly
swiftly around the room and If one

When there is a combination of four

perfectly; in obtaining this art of bal
ancing three men practice on one
wheel, each kneeling on the shoulders
of the other. When they are learning
this stunt" many a bad fall is re-
ceived. The wheel spins around the
room two or three times, the first man
jumps to the little step and climbs to
the shoulders of the rider. twice
around, and the third man repeats the
action, and climbs to the shoulders of
the second; sometimes he fails to make
the shoulders, grasps the arms of the
second man, throws the first off his
balance and away they all go scatter

Sometimes they use the mechanics

Dolls in Glass Cases
zone curious result of the mission
schools in India is the collection of
dolls in glass cases which you will see
in Indian kouses. Sometimes there will
be generations Of dolls, from the grand
mother down to the present young
daughter of the house. An Indian girl
never plays with doll. Sometimes she
will play with little brass toys, but
she plays very little anyway. An In
dian girl is the most serious little
beggar in the world. 1t is curse to be
born woman at ALL and the women
simply accept that curse as a part OF
their lives. with the same philosophy
as the whole of life is accepted. The
sole test of whether a woman is good
woman or not is her possession of sons
"It all comes back to an economic
basis in the final analysis. Daughters
take dowry to marry them off. There
fore they are expensive and undesira-
BILE. Boys bring dowry into the family
with their wives. The Indian woman
has only two things TO live for-to have
sons and TO become a mother-in-law.
AS mother-in-law she is queen Of the
female portion of the household. and
the daughter-in-law may expect no re-
lease from slavery until she in her turn
becomes a mother-in-law. 10 go back
to the dolls, a prospective bridegroom
win often ask how many dolls the girl
has. The dolls are given for industry

fore the number of them is Of interest
