Worship the Cow.

In the Nilgirl hills of southern India
there dwells race Of men, the Todas.
who devote the whole of their career
to the worship of the COW or, to be
precise, of the buffalo. Their most
sacred temple is COW house, and
the whole life Of the people is gov
erned by the most rigid observance
of the routine of dairy work, every de-
tail of which is performed with the
most elaborate ritual. They alone can
perform the duties of milking and but
ter making who have been duly conse-
Grated for this work by fasting and
the performance of mysterious rites.
Representing the only priesthood,
they are compelled after their initia-
ton for the rest of their days to play
the role of the dairyman. The lesser
priests may marry, but the high priest
must be celibate, at least for a given
period Of years. Polyandry is the fam.
lily rule. but divorce Is unknown

WATER FROM SAND DuNEa.
Source Of Part Of the Netherlands
Drinking Supply.

The supply of water for Amsterdam
and The Hague is collected from sand
dunes bordering on the sea. In the
dunes near Harlem, where they have
width Of nearly two and half miles,
the submits are 20 to % feet above
the sea level. The quantity of rain
water percolating to the groundwater
streams is estimated at 1.19 inches
per annum. From Amsterdam the
water is collected in open canals,
which are never excavated below sea
level. For The Hague 1t is collected
in stoneware pipes in bed of shells
laid at depth of 13 feet below sea
level. Harlem is beginning to build
wells so to 60 feet below sea level to
collect water. AS fresh water Is found
at such depth under the dunes, while
the water at the same depth in the
immediate neighborhood is salt, it is
thought that the hydraulic pressure of
the dune water prevents sea impreg-
nation. The water contains much iron
In solution and for this reason, as well
as for other reasons, is filtered at the
three places mentioned before being
pumped into the mains. When the
water is collected in wells or pipes
it must be aerated before being fl.
tered.

DUCKS ON A SPREE.
Trick Of Young Girl Yields Good Finan.
claI Returns.

The 15-year-old daughter Of farm
er living on the shores of Chesapeake
bay, where wild ducks are found in
greater numbers than anywhere else
IN the United States, has proved her
self better hunter than any of the
men who make living by it. She no.
ticed that at one spot hundreds of
ducks came ashore to eat the sorrel
plant. She got peck of corn, soaked
1T for two days in whisky, and then
at night scattered 1t on the ground.
Her father laughed at the idea, but
he laughed too soon. The next morn
ing large number of the ducks came
ashore for the sorrel, but took the
corn instead. The result was that
over SO Of them were made 80 drunk
that they were easily captured on the
shore OF by boat, and the girl made
over S2b at one haul Perhaps ducks
shouldn't be tempted to become
drunkards, but 1t Is certainly an easy
and profitable way to gather them
in for the market. The wonder is
II the people who eat them will also
become hilarious?

Only TWO Countries Have Greater
Number Than America.

In the American Jewish Year Book,

en- as 1,777,1S5. Only two countries
have greater Jewish population,
Russia, with 5,215,8O5, and Austria
Hungary, with 2,076,3S7. The immi.
grafton through the ports Of New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore for
the year ended June 80, 1907, was
134,113. The Jewish population of the
United States is larger by 531 than the
combined Jewish population Of the
British empire, Germany, France,
Italy, Morocco, Turkey, Spain, China,
Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Peru
and Crete. The British empire has
only 361,639 Jews, of whom 1903 are

Remember the Pioneers.

1t may be that some Of the younger
generation are inclined to forget the
debt they owe to the pioneers, and
even to scott at their influence and
ideals. II this is true it is unfortunate,
and there is all the more reason for
the perpetuation Of pioneer associa-
tons and the welding of pioneer in
fluence. To belong to such an organ
ization is to be inscribed on role of
honor. In this new country it is al
most title of nobility. The sons and
grandsons of these sturdy men and
women should cherish their history
and traditions and preserve them from
oblivion

maximum effectiveness of the tele-

current Of measured intensity. The
result shows that there Is great room
for improvement in this respect. Not
withstanding the apparent extreme
.sensitiveness of the best telephones,
they are. after all, surprisingly inef-
fective, since they transmit to the ear
in the form of sound-waves less than
thousandth part of the energy re.
ceived from the line.
