4 strange Feast.

A curious feast Is observed by the
Mohammedan inhabitants OF India, III
which the origin of the custom known
as painting the town red may possibly
be traced. It is called the HOIi and
consists chiefly In the plentiful sprin
killing upon all and sundry Of a certain
red preparation called holi powder. It
stains the white clothes of the natives
with an ugly, dirty looking red that
c0njures up before timid eyes dread
visions Of bloody fights and CHASTITY
mutinies. The powder is made in two
shades the one vermilion, the other
rose red-and both are used impartial
" by the observers of the ceremony,
who delight in bedaubing their faces
with the powders until they look like
strange and hideous denizens of hades
come up. still glowing with the fires
Of that region. Among the better
classes this festival is falling into dis
favor, for it leads to many unpleasant
excuses and had its origin in some de-
cidedly dissipated scene in ancient
heather history.

Gladstone =. . ssupe.y

A reference to '"The Corsican Broth
ers" recalls an amusing story of Mr..
Gladstone's visit to the Lyceum when
Irving was playing in this drama. Mr..
Gladstone at che time was not bur.
dened by the cares of office, and one
evening he dropped in at the Lyceum,
where he was occasionally accommo-
dated with chair at the wings" On
this night, however, when the stage
was set for the opera ball in ''The Cor
sican Brothers" his curiosity led him
into one of the boxes for spectators in
the scene. Up went the curtain; Mr..
Gladstone was at once deserted by the
pit and greeted with shouts of JOY
which caused him hastily to withdraw.
This" says Mr.. Austin, "was his first
and only appearance in the drama out
side Of the dear old legitimate at
Westminster" -Westminster Gazette.

neer of Tulsa, said it was the worst
in his experience, and vowed he had
never before made like assertion.
At four O'Clock, from clouds which
had banked up in the northwest, came
a cool and invigorating breeze, and
lungs once more inhaled the ozone
gratefully. The wind was followed
shortly by heavy downpour of rain,
which continued intermittently until
late at night. Male citizens enjoyed
the sensation of wearing coats last
night for the first time in several
weeks. With this change, it is believed
that the backbone of the hot weather
is broken.

New Crop Promises Much

Shawnee, Okla, August 23.-Seeded
ribbon cane is the latest product in
this county, and R. H. Roys, a city
man who owns big patch of it near
Shawnee, says it is the best paying
product he ever saw. The cane grows
rank, from ~ to 20 feet in height.
Each stalk yields about three times as
much syrup Of finer quality than a
similar stalk Of sorghum, and the sy-
rup sells better. Horses, cattle and
hogs will leave their usual feed and
grow fat on the refuse after the sy-
rnp is extracted.
Next year a number of farmers here
will plant forty acres each of the seed
ed cane, and syrup mills will be made
to crush it.
