FIRE WALKING.
A Strenuous Form of Worship ana
DeviI-Driving in India.

A Strenuous Form of Worship and
Devil-Driving I'm India.
Touching upon horrible religious
practice in vogue in India, corre-
spondent at Madras writes:
A large trench is dug in front Of the
shrine, about thirty or forty feet long
and ten feet broad and two or three
feet deep. During tine morning this is
filled with logs of wood and fagots,
which are set on fire and by the even
ing become moss of glowing, redhot
embers. After dark the people assem-
BILE with torches and tom-toms and mu-
sic, and then some thirty or forty peo-
pie prepare to walk lengthwise over the
embers. They are worked up to great
state Of excitement by the tom-toms
and shouts of the crowd, and then the
whole thirty or forty walk barefooted,
quite slowly and deliberately, IN single
file, headed by one of the ''pujaris."
This custom of fire walking is quite
common in Malabar. Koorche, three
miles from Tellichery, in the direction
of the French settlement of Maize, is
locality reputed for fire walking. Here
famous "pujuri" by the name Of
Oochatta dwells. He actually sits on
heap of fire at an annual festival, but
Is said to be protected 10y the bark of
the areca nut. which Is known to be
bad conductor of heat At the village
of Putnam, thirty-two miles from Tel
lichery in the Kaval Taluq, North Ma
labar, weird ceremony Is performed
annually, at midnight, In connection
with the worship Of the village deity,
when the "pujari," who goes by the
name of Chamandy, throws himself in
cessantly on heap Of fire, about six
feet high and fifteen feet broad, until
he is able to knock every fagot down
and level the whole heap with the
ground. One end Of rope is fastened
to his arms, while the other end is fas-
tened to his arms, while the other end
is seized by two Malayali low caste
men, who pull the 'pujari" away each
time he rushes on the heap of fire. Two
women at the same time with brooms
bring the fagots together as they are
knocked down by the ''pujari" and en-
deavor to restore the heap of fire as it
is being dismantled by him. The wood
is the "puum," hard jungle wood Of
the Malabar forests. When the whole
heap is levelled with the ground the
pujari" brings this ceremony to

Troubles of n Wooden Leg Puzzled
Doctors Who Examined 1t.
An old veteran in Illinois has writ
ten a bill of complaint to the commits
sioner of pensions. He says:
"I've just got another of your postal
cards telling me to go before the dok-
ters to be examined. I've been gittin'
these cards about every mont since I
piled for an increase of my pension,
two years ago. I've been pulled around,
examined, punched in the ribs and
sounded in the lungs, and made to bend
over the back of chair and do all
sorts Of monkey shines, till l feel as
If l orter to have salary, with an
agent to go ahead and stick up bills.
To begin with, you sent me a lot Of dok-
ters up to Warren, and 1t took em a
half hour to find out that the reason
why they couldn't find any circulation
In my left leg Is because it is a wooden
one. Three or four times after that you
sent me to odds and ends Of dokters
who couldn't tell the difference between
an epleptik simpton and billed klam.
"Mebbe this Is all right, and it may
be fun for the dokters. 1t was fun for
me for awhile, but now that you order
me back to the first two dokters, and
probly eXpec me to start on the same
old cirkus over again. I'm going to kick
like Il brindle stear. Last summer. on
account of the frisklness of a pair of
colts, my wooden leg got tangled up
and was chewed to flinders in a moin
machine. | piled to the dokter general
fer a new leg, but he sed I'd only had
the old one three years, and I'd have to
wait two years more before the govern
ment could afford to make a hole in the
surplus by gittin' me anuther. Mean
while my natural leg, the one brought
away safe from the Wilderness, has
took to the reumatiz till I'm almost
sorry l dident drop it when l did the
other one.
you've been actually payin' the dok-
ters 96 dollars year for stavin' off my

pay me If you'd granted my Increase
in the fust plas. You ukered me out of

I'm goin' to uker the cussed dokters out
Of gettin' any more OF II. If l go be-

Prof. l.. II. Bailey, of the Agricultural
College of Cornell University, has asked
hundred and fifty students who were
bred on the farm and do not intend to
return why they seek occupation else
where. He has also asked seventy
town-bred students who intend to be
farmers, and two hundred farm-bred
students who intend to return, why
they choose farm life. The investiga-
ton Is not intended to show anything
about the total migration from town to
country and from country to town. The
conclusion which can safely be drawn
is that the argument in conviction,
weight and nobility of ideals is with
those who are going to be farmers. The
replies of the students, some of which
Prof. Bailey quotes in the Century Mag
azine, are marked by fine sense of
what Is worth while in life-closeness
to nature, independence and healthful
physical labor. The alleged social ad-
vantages desired by young men seeking
the city are seen, by these other young
men who have tried them, to be perhaps
less helpful in the development of char
acter than the simple relations Of the
farmer with his few neighbors. Very
few of the young men who plan to be
farmers say much about making money
whereas 4O per cent Of those who seek
the city give the money consideration
as principal reason. Those who like
the farm maintain that there Is com
| petence for the good farmer, but they
seek other things than large incomes
II am impressed in these replies" says
Prof. Bailey, with the recurrence OF
such ideals as love of the work that one
is doing, education, study, personal in
| huence, happiness, service, home. Will
these young men their business Is to bt
an affair Of the heart. We hear mucl
about the greed Of money and power
and the great dangers that threater
our runaway society; but 1 wonder
whether in the end the countryman will
not still have hold of at least one Of
the reins."

There were fewer commercial fail
ures in the United States in July Of
this year than In any month of July in
fourteen years-only 1888 in the whole
country. Business casualties are at

1t Is a maxim of some sea captains
that it is better for sailors not to know
how to swim. They will take fewer
chances If they know that they will be
helpless in the water. The authorities
of Amherst college have a different be-
lief as to the deslrability of knowing
how to swim. They have made swim
ming one of the compulsory studies at
Amherst. This college was the first to
establish compulsory gymnasium work
and oil other colleges in this country
now require that. WEI swimming also
become the rule In the colleges? The
theory that men will avoid danger of
drowning If they do not know how to
swim does not seem to be supported by
the facts. Only a small proportion OF
300 deaths from drowning the past sum-
mer were due to foolhardiness Of swim.

men who fell In, all together make up
long roll of persons who might have
saved their lives by a knowledge OF
swimming. The advantages of swim
ming as an exercise are well known.
The sport In moderation Is one of the
best Of all methods of securing a SYM
metrical development of the whole body

so strongly felt by most people that 1t
is one Of the arguments advanced by
certain scientists Tor the belief that Lhe
original home of all forms Of life, In.
Guiding the human race, was In the sea.
When a man Is reveling in the sensa'
tion Of being rocked by the waves he
is satisfying an instinct inherited from
ancestors who few million years age
lived in warm, shallow seas. However
It Is not necessary to go back so far
as that. There are reasons enough for
liking the water in summer time with.

tendencies.

Short Meter Sermons.

Hard licks make good luck.
Godliness is manliness made perfect.
Only an Insignificant temper is lost
easily.
The common task makes the uncom-
mon hero.
Grumbling does not help your growth
in grace.
We find in the world what lies in our
hearts.
Many a cross disposition is mistaken
for a divine cross.
The way to find life's gloom is to seek
only your own glory.
Some Of the best sermons ever given
have come in soup plates.
You cannot chase away this worlds
gloom with cast iron smile.

SAYS JESUS VISITS EARTH.


When we study the life of Jesus for
its historical significance, the broad re-
lationship Of his life to time and events,
we see that he steadily prepares q
es them more definitely than he teaches
the world.
AS he approaches the end of his earth
ly career he tells them plainly Of his
tragic end, the three days in the tomb
and the resurrection from the dead,
with all the attendant circumstances.
At the present time the school men
teach us that we are under the supreme
care and conduct Of the Holy Spirit,
that Christ's work is finished and that
he now has no more to do with the
earth work than If he were stratum
in series of strata of the earth's phys
ical phenomena. But to me there was
and there is great comfort in the re-
stored text, in the restored thought,
that Jesus visits the earth, that his per-
sonal spirit visited the apostles, deter
mining and changing their course of
work and travel.
We 60 beyond the privilege of asking
in his name, we may feel that he walks
with us and aids us here in this, world.
like to think that he loves us all and
visits our homes just as he did in Beth
any because he loves us. There is a So
cial content in the thought and it is re-
demption from carelessness, from de-
spair and from tragedy. If we can only
feel, as we have right to feel, that he
Is personal champion and friend he
| Is restored to us on earth.

THE DEATH OF SUMMER.
BY Rev. H. Pereira Mendes

How great is Thy goodness which
Thou hast stored for those that rever-
ence Thee.-Psalms XXI, 10.
Autumn's more sober colors are re-
placing the radiance Of spring and the
strength of summer. The leaves are
changing hue. The evenings draw in
the breezes murmur the first whispers
which tell us that natures life is wan
ing. But too soon the end will come.
That end we call death-nature's
death.
Year after year the same story is re-

told. Springtides tender leaves Of
hope, summer blossoms, autumn har-
vests, these spell beauty, joy, prosperi-
ty. Winter blasts and shrouds and fet-
ters spell-what? The reverse Of beau
ty and joy and prosperity? No-em-
phatically no.
All is beautiful in Gods creation.
The echo of the winter blast is the rus
tling Of the golden grain in the coming
season. From under this shroud of
snow will spring the growths which
mean mans joy. And the fetters of
ice are but prophetic of harvests which
build prosperity.
What holds good in nature around us
holds good in our own human lives.
The springtide of life, with its tender
leaves of hope, its buds of promise, its
dreams and happiness and beauty, its
visions of success and prosperity, passes
away.
Then in the summertde of our exist
ence we begin to realize that things are
not what they seem, but the disappoint-
ments, the defeats, the tangles, the
strains and the stresses shall be found
to mean the strengthening Of our own
character, the development of our own
possibilities for better things, leading
to the harvesting in lifes autumn Of
all that is worth harvesting-th wis
dom, the experiences, the growths and
fragrances of tried love and the BIOS
SONS and fruits of tested friendship.
Let the autumn come, even though
the beauty is so different from the Wig
orous and glowing and promising beau
ty of earlier days. When at last we
will behold the great goodness which
God has stored for us we will have
learned to have faith in Gods work
ings. We will have discovered graft
tude for Gods blessings. We will have
made amends for our shortcomings and
we will be calmed by our hope for
Gods salvation.
These are the notes of the perfect
chord-to most of us on earth a lost
chord. We hear its far-off sounds more
plainly its melody is restored to our
memories when our ripened years re-
mind us that death, Gods ingathering,
is at hand. That divine ingathering
will mean that He will. with His hand
and with His power. with His wisdom
and with His alchemy, gather in,
weave, merge and transmute all the
sorrows and tangles, all the lost hopes,
faded visions, foiled efforts, all the be-
reavements and pains and trials of
life, into something new and beautiful
and wonderful, even as He transmutes
the desolation Of winter, its blasts, its
snow shrouds and its icy fetters, into
the beauty of spring, the radiance of
summer, the harvests Of the autumn.
