A WONDERFUL CALENDAR.
The Four Ages From the Theosoph-
ical Point Of View.

The Four Ages From the Theosoph-
ical Point Of View.
There is nothing more wonderful in
the chronological and time keeping line
than the "Theosophical Calendar. Ac-
cording to the Secret Doctrine" From
the theosophical point of view the four
ages are as follows: Sata yuga golden
age), 1.72s,OO0 years; tresta yuga (sil-
yer age), 1,296,O50 years; dwapara
yuga "copper" age), $4,000 years; kali
yuga Gron age), $4,000 years. The
total Of these four ages makes one
maha yuga, or great age, Of 1870, 600
years. One thousand maha yugas
make one kalpa, or day Of Brahma,
equal to 1000 times 4,32o,0O0 years.
After the expiration Of that unthink-
able period Of time the night Of Brah.
ma, equal in duration to the length Of
the day, comes on, and the earth van
ishes from the plane Of existence.
Three hundred and sixty days and
nights of Brahma make one year Of
Brahma, and 100 years Of Brahma
make the great kalpa, period OF 311,-
O4OOOO,0O0OO0 years, after which the
sun and the entire solar system plunge
into impenetrable night and every
thing on the collective plane'' is de-
stroyed Then comes the period known
as the great night which is equal in
length to the great kalpa- After the
great night has lifted its sable mantle
a new solar system is formed and evo'
luton begins anew.
According to the doctrine Of the the.
osophists, we are now living in the
kali yuga, the last Of the four ages,
and it began nearly 5000 years ago,
with the death Of Krishna, who died
3,1O2 years before our era began. The
first minor cycle Of kali yuga ended
In the years 1s97-9s, but we still have
something like 427,0O0 before we ar
rive at the end Of the present age.
Kali yuga is also known to the the
osophists as the black age. 1t is an
age Of spiritual darkness, in which the
human race pays for the misdeeds
which are recorded against them in the
previous ages.

Paws to Advertise.

When the teacher was absent from the
schoolroom, Billy,the mischievous boy OF
the class, wrote on the blackboard, "Bllly
Jones can hug the girls better than any
boy in. school"
Upon her return the teacher called him
up to her desk.
"William, did you write that?" she
asked, pointing to the blackboard.
"Yes, ma'am,' said Billy.
"Well, you may stay after school" said
she, las punishment"
The other pupils waited for Billy 10
come out, and then they began guying
him.
"Got lickin'. didn't you?"
Nope" said Billy.
Got jawed?"
"Nope."
"What did she do?" they asked.
"Sban't tell" said Billy, "but it pays to
advertise. Ladies' Home Journal.

DIMES GROWING SCARCE.
Banks tioardins Them and Subtreasury Hold
inc the Coins Back.

ins the Coins Back.
NEW YORK, July %. Officials at the
subtreasury said today that certain banks
were boarding dimes and for that reason
there was scarcity, although more dimes
are in circulation now than ever before
On account of this the treasury has made
q rule not to give out dimes in as large
quantities as formerly until the situation
improves.
One report is that coin rolling con-
cern, which contracts with railroads to
put up coins in packages, had for some
time been holding large quantity OF
dimes, hoping to get premium on them
According to treasury Officials, the dis
position to hoard dimes came about
through reports spread sometime ago thai
the government was short.
It was announced to-day that the Phil
adelphia mint would reopen August 1
and an extra force will be put to VOTE
coming dimes.

No Wool Over His Eyes.

Uncle Abe, grizzled old negro, visited
a geological garden. He stood fascinated
before a cage containing chimpanzee,
and could not be induced to move. After
while the animal came to>the front of
the cage, and Uncle Abe spoke to him.
"Howdy?" he said; "howdy?'
The chimpanzee, not making any re-
Spouse, Uncle Abe chuckled and winked
at him knowingly.
Oats right, dat de way ter do! .Doan

A Substitute.

Little Helen, aged four, was in fright
full predicament. The nurse, carrying
the cherished two-week-old baby up and
down before the house, had paused to
show the new infant to the bishop, who
had asked to look at it. And then the
tall, grave bishop, of whom Helen stood
greatly in awe, had unexpectedly asked
the little girl to give him the baby.
How in the world to refuse request
made by such an awe-inspiring person as
the bishop the child did not know. But
presently she wrinkled her small counte-
nance shrewdly, moved closer to the pc
titioner, and said, ingratiatingly, "Pll LEI
YOU have the next"

fred. st. Wilifred was a great bishop
Of ancient Germany, and to him are
ascribed many miracles. Epileptcs
were especially looked after by him,
says tradition, and with the passing OF
the centuries his fame has grown un'
til now a visit to his resting place IS
believed to be sufficient to cure this
dread disease. That most Of the vts-
itors go home uncured has not ap'
parently impaired popular trust tn the
efficacy of the pilgrimage.
This year the ceremony was made
more notable than usual by the re

especially dedicated to his memory.

the pilgrims advanced in a long, wav;

, DECLINES SPECIAL TERN.
Solicitor Davis Does Not Think it Necessary
to Try Alleged AssauIter Until the
Regular Court.

COLUMBIA, July 26.-Solicitor Davis
declines to ask for a special term OF the
court in Aiken to try the alleged raplst,
Isaac knight. From his home IN
Barnwell be wrote to day to Cover
nor Hayward acknowledging receipt OF
the papers and petitions asking for
the special term and saying that in
his judgment it would be unwise to-
make application for the holding OF this
court for many reasons, among them be-
ing that the regular term commences ear
" in October and it would entail useless
expense upon the county. The prisoner
is safe in the .penitentiary and is in no
danger of being lynched and there is no
danger of a miscarriage of justice, fear OF
which the petitioners gave as their main
reason for requesting special term.

DAIRYING IN SOUTH CARoLINA.-ln
report Of the department OF agriculture
for the past year on dairying in the
south, the statement is made that
South Carolina is supplied with dairy
products almost wholly from the north.
Condensed milk, cream and butter, ana
practically all the cheese consumed
are from the north, while the South
Carolina farmer devotes practically
his whole attention to raising cotton.
The cultivation Of cotton upon the
same fields year after year, rapidly eX-
hausts the soil, which must be re-
stored by the use Of commercial fertll-
izers at high prices. The great need
Of this section, 1t Is declared, Is 1--we
stock; and dairy cattle should be
among the first live stock introduced.
The south can produce greater quanu-
ties Of feed at less cost than any other
section Of the country, but the lack OF
knowledge regarding the handling,
care and feeding Of dairy stock and the
kind Of crops to grow Is the great
drawback, and one with which the dali
nv division should be in a position to
cope, both by sending its own men to
the farms, and by cooperating with
the state experiment station and with
dairy organizations.
To study these questions, B. h.
Raw, dairyman at Clemson college
has been appointed as al expert. His
work thus far has been to travel from
point TO point, studying the field and
lending what encouragement he can
to those who desire to go into dairy
ing, Mr. Rawl has met with an en-
thusiastic reception, and he should be
given several assistants, as hundreds
of farmers have already shown them
selves anxious for information and
guidance. At Easley, a number or
men have organized a cheese factory,
and through the efforts Of Mr.. Raw
have been induced to build silos. Great
interest is taken In the work by
other dairymen in the state, many haV-
ing indicated a desire to go to Easley
and learn the methods and 1t Is eX-
pected to make this an objective CEN
ter for dairy information.
