Obsession In India.

From the Hindu Spiritual Magazine.
Why are obsessions so numerous in Indian
In India the notion among the Hindus Is
that when a man has died It is necessary
to cause his release from earthly bonds by
an offering called pinda. made in his name
in the sacred city of Gya So long az this
Is not done the soul OF the dead man re-
mains tied to earth and cannot rise high.
It so happens that q Hindu spirit finds that
earthbound soul. He very naturally thinks
that his misfortune Is due to the fact that
no pinda had been offered in his name and
he makes gigantic efforts to see that 1t is
DONE But he finds that he cannot COM
municate his wishes to his relatives, friends
or fellows who are yet on earth. Such
souls make gigantic efforts to be able to
hold communication with men who are not
dead. Sometimes they succeed. And then
they explain what they want II they get
hold Of a friend it is all right; they at once
ask the latter to release them. But this
Is not generally possible. So what they
do is this: They possess a woman, or
man, and make themselves disagreeable In
as many ways as they can. Ghost doctors
are summoned; they open communication
with the spirit who refuses to leave his
medium until 1t is promised to him that
pinda will be offered in his name in Gya.
When he has been able to extort this
promise he leaves the body he had pos
sessed.
This explains why cases Of true obsession
are so frequent in Hindu India. Ninety
nine out of hundred in India have seen
cases of obsession.
A ghost makes itself very disagreeable.
The exorcist Is summoned he opens COM
munication with the spirit. In short the
spirit speaks through the party he has
obsessed and conversation like the follow
ing ensues:
The exorcist to the ghost-"You must
leave the body Of your victim"
The ghost-'I am wiling to go II you
promise me one thing-namely If you will
offer pinda. in Gya. in my name'
The promise is made and the ghost leaves
his victim. That is the way much cases are
treated generally. This is the reason WHY
cases Of obsession are so numerous In IN
dia. Indeed. they are so frequent in this
country that there are many rojas (exor-
cists) who live by curing obsessed men and
women. What is more. in India there is q
hospital for obsessed people. a unique in
stftution. the like Of which is not to be
seen in any other part of the world. This
hospital is q temple in the holy place called
Hart Hareshwar. In Kocond in south India.
There possessed men and women are car
ried. and they are sent back cured

Quail Getting Scarce.
From Country Life in America.

From Country Life In America.
Quail starved to death by thousands in
the winter of 19O4-1905. but last winter they
had an easy time except in February and
March. From Massachusetts, to Indiana
the quail are so scarce that restocking has
become necessary. The birds for this pur-
pose are hard to find. More than 100000
have been captured in Alabama and the
southwest, where they still occur in abund-
ance, and have been shipped north for
breeding. Even this supply is quite in
adequate and may not last long. The quail
Is perhaps our most popular game bird. and
a market will be found for all that can be
produced. Complete success has been had
In raising them on small scale. Why
should not some one go into the business
on such scale that he could turn out

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, October 29.-Through one
of those sudden and curious shiftings In
interest which have characterized the stock
market of late, there took place today a
substantial curtailment in activity. trading
during the greater part of the business
session being conducted on only about oo
per cent OF Fridays scale. On the other
hand during that period the market at
large exhibited a decidedly firm tone In all
quarters There was however, the same
conveyance OF active interest upon a few
stock that has been noticeable for several
weeks past.
These were notably United States Steel
common, Amalgamated Copper. Reading.
Union Pacific and Pennsylvania. 1t Is
needless to say that the special animation
IN both United States Steel common and In
Pennsylvania was based directly upon the
expectations regarding the dividends to be
acted upon shortly in each case. Directors
of the United States Steel Corporation will
meet tomorrow afternoon, and the meeting
of the Pennsylvania directors is scheduled
for November l.
1t seemed to be commonly expected today
that a quarterly dividend of 1 per cent
would be declared upon United States Steel
common, and that the semi-annual divi-
dend on Pennsylvania would be equivalent
to 81 per cent. These views rested chiefly.
1t is unnecessary to say, more upon the re-
cent course of these stocks than upon any
definite and official assurances. Aside from
United States Steel common and Pennsyi-
vania, Ii did not appear that the dealings
in individual securities were Influenced by
any special considerations. So far as the
general market was concerned. a live factor
in the dealings might be named In the ma
terial increase in confidence which was ap-
parent with regard to the outcome of next
weeks election.

This ticket was nominated by ac-
clamation, without opposition or di-
vision of any kind and amid notable
enthusiasm in open convention.
Mr.. Hughes te%legraphed from New
York his acceptance of the nomination
in the following words:
THE Republican party has been call
ed to defend the honor of the state and
TO represent the common sense of the
people and the cause of decent govern
ment. | shall accept the nomination
without pledge other than to do my
elected it will be my ambition to give
the state a sane, efficient and honora-
bic administration, free from faint or
bossism or of servitude to any private
interest. a united party making an
appeal to good citizenship must win"
Timothy l.. Woodruff was elected
chairman of the state committee inn
mediately after the adjournment OF
the convention. lie will have the di-
rection of the campaign in November.
The nomination of Mr.. Hughes was
a strategic victory for Herbert Par
sons, president of the Sew York coun-
ty committee, who, it is said, had the
backing of President Roosevelt, stood
by his guns and, adopting Il policy of
compromise, landed the man of his
choice at the head of the ticket.
The speech of Job Il. Hedges of New
York in nominating Mr.. Hughes pro
voked much laughter and enthusiasm
especially by its reference to the Buff
falo convention, rumols from which
reached the hall from time TO time.
The speech in which Representative
Parsons nominated Lieutenant Govern
or Bruce for reelection was made dra-
matte by the fact that he more than
anybody else had been the instrument
to defeat Bruce for the gubernatorial
nomination.
Mr.. Hughes gets his great powers Of
endurance primarily from an ancestry
of Welsh, Scotch and Irish. His father
comes of Welsh and Scotch stock and
his mother Of Scotch and Irish. lie has
developed the heritage, however. by
the practice of a theory in which he is
Il firm believer. He holds that under
the right conditions a man cannot over
work his brain. lie says'a we'll organ
lied and developed brain is like the
muscle of a highly trained athlete'
which is only bettered by constant
hard work.
No s%tupendous fees have ever come
his way. The largest single fee he ever
received was the $4,000 he got from
the insurance investigation.
He is not a teetotaler. When d"
wants to he drinks whisky and be
drinks it straight. He smokes a moder-
ate number Of cigars every day.
