When love bids time to fly;
The future-doubt may overcast,
To shadow Hopes young brow;

Tho flowers in spicy vases thrown
Some odor yet exhale.
Their fragrance, e'er the lloom was flown
Breathed sweeter on tile gale
Like faded flowers. each parted bliss

Can joy that's past be like to this7

Our banks the brightest bubbles fling

Observing the Puia.
The religious festivals called Pujas
are observed with sentiment which
approaches raving ardor. During the
line of these demonstrations the en-
tire population refrains from work
and gives itself over to unmitigated
carousals. The program consists of
erecting an image of some particular
idol, to which offerings of every sort
are given and sacrifices of goats are
made.
After the image has been properly
feted on land, the jewellers form a

Crazy Acts of Votaries.
The belief that generosity and ply

the favor of the gods is so gen.
eral that many worshipers give them
selves over to disgusting and ridicu-
lous acts of fanaticism. The forms
this religious frenzy takes are innu-
merable, Sometimes a votary will
vow to sit still in a chair for six
months, while another will measure
his length along the ground for miles
in token of his submission to some
particular idol. There are others
who have held one arm in the am
over their heads for years, until the
joints became stiff and the uncut
nails curved inward and grew through
their hands. Some will fasten their
Jaws together with wire and take no
food into the mouth except in liquid
form. Enthusiasts are often met who
have vowed to leave their hair I'M
touched for months. These present a
disgusting sight, as their tangled
shocks are one mass of filth and YER

If lives are In danger at fire 1t Is
a universal rule that life saving takes
precedence over fire fighting. If fire
escapes are lacking or seriously OBJ
structed all hands devote their entire
energies to the work Of rescuing by
raising ladders, by forcing a passage
through smoke filled Railways or by
other emergency means. Life nets are
spread and held ready for those who
have not the nerve to wait for their
rescuers. Life saving consumes valu-
able time which could be applied to ad-
vantage in fighting the flames. and the
probable necessity for expanding this
time, governed as it Is by many con-
siderations, plays an important part in
studies of underwriters. Occasionally
pompier ladders or window scaling lad
ders are used in emergencies for max
ing rescues. These furnish thrilling
incidents for the newspapers. but are
less efficient, slower and a great deal
more dangerous both to the iremen
and the rescued than the plain or ex-
tension ladders.AInsurance Engineer

The police Of the city will not tolerate
any strange negroes coming into the city
and hanging about the all night bar
rooms, restaurants, etc., and every one
arriving here will be arrested and jailed
either for vagrancy or being dangerous
and suspicious characters.

many cities and going in all directions
has caused orders to- be issued to the
police to be on the lookout for any who
might arrive here and become Migrants.
The places which the officers are closely
watching are the tough saloons and res
taurants and If the strangers frequent
those places they can safely place them
as being tough characters, and their in
struction are to arrest them Immediately.
