The Seven Great Religious Bodies OF
the world.

The Seven Great Religious Bodies OF
the world.
The population of the earth at the
death Of the Emperor Augustus was
estimated at 100000. Today it IS
calculated that this globe has a popu-
lation Of 1,603, 15O, 900. Out of this vast
number of more than billion and a
half of human beings it is asserted that
all but an infnitesimal fraction Of i
per cent believe in and worship iii
some degree a supreme ruler Of the
universe
There are seven great religions In the
world. The Christian religion has the
greatest number of adherents, $50, 000,-
900. OF this number $4,000 900 are
Catholics and 100000 Professionals
These two great divisions are subdivid-
ed into innumerable sects differing
from one another on some point of
dogma or church government. Next in
Importance comes the worship Of an
cestors and Confucianism, whose fol-
lowers are 2S3,00O0OO in number. This
belief is confined almost exclusively to
the Chinese and Japanese. In India
there are 223,00O,O00 Brahmans. This
form of religion has decreased some
what during recent years, owing per-
haps to the continual ravages of plague
and famine in that country. But it still
holds the third place among the seven
great, religions. Brahmanism is hard
pressed however, by the faith Of Is
lam. There are 222, 100000 of, these fol-
lowers Of the doctrines of Mohammed.
The fifth on the list are the Poly theists,
the believers in many gods, who num-
Der $50, 100000. The devotees Of Bud
dha come next, 1O7,OOO,000 strong.
These, too, have their stronghold in
India. The smallest Of the seven great
religions Of the world is Taoism, with
$4,000, 900 adherents in the Chinese en-
pire and in Tibet.
The next greatest religion, in point
Of numbers, to Taoism is the belief of
Japan, Shintoism. This has but 49,
00O0 believers The Jewish faith
now counts but half that number of
adherents. But, unlike the other great
religions, the followers Of the teachings
Of Moses are not centered in any par
tcular country, but are scattered all
about the world. Compared with the
foregoing, the religions Of the Parsees,
while one Of the most beautiful the
oretically, has about the smallest fol-
lowing Of any distinct belief in the
world. 100000 This sect has it's home
in India and is best known to the out
side world by its curious burial Gus
toms, the famed towers of silence -

"A Patagonian Animal That Seeks It's
Own Graveyard M sfi. IL

IA Patagonian Animal That Seeks It's
Own Graveyard.
It seems from the accounts given by
Darwin and by w. H. Hudson that all
the gnanacos of the southern part Of
Patagonia must resort when the hour
of death approaches to a certain spot.
in a certain river bed which has be-
come perfect mausoleum Of their
bones. "a
Mr.. Hudson notes that it is only the
guanaco OF the southern extremity Of
the South American continent that has.
this habit, habit restricted to de-
scendants Of forefathers who lived in
an extremely rigorous climate. Mr..
Hudson conjectures that among these
forefathers the instinct grew up when
the stress Of hunger and cold was very
dire Of resorting to this sheltered place
IN the river bed, where they might find
warmth in their own closely collected
numbers and possibly food. By \ a
continual survival of those which be-
took themselves to this place of refuge
the race instinct would be formed Of
gresorting thither when they felt the
tides Of life running low. This feeling,
Mr.. Hudson argues, their descendants
are likely toNeyperience now at the APP
proach of the hour Of death.
But now it is no longer just a pass
ing spell of extreme cold that leads
them thither. The death call has come,
and they must lay their bones in the
common mortuary. It is not .'in order
/ to die that the guanaco. seeks this
place; it would be nearer the truth If
we were to say it was sin order to
i've
h But the most true account Of all is
that 1t Is in mere obedience to the in
herited instinct that the guanaco re-
sorts to this refuge "A.
Yet another instance Of this mysteri-
GUS guidance is afforded by the habit
of the rattlesnakes in the colder coun-
tries to assemble together for hiberna-
ton in caves. These snakes on emerg-
Ing from the caves cover long distances
in their wanderings, their young are
generally born far away, and yet these
young succeed in finding their way to
the caves with the greatest certainty.

TASTES IN CIGARS.
Some Men Like Their Tobacco Mois
and Some Like 1t Dry.

Some Men Like Their Tobacco Moist
and Some Like 1t Dry.
The public taste for cigars varies in
different localities and countries, and
i in all the large factories cigars are
conditioned to suit the demands Of the
country to which they are to be sent.
In Europe, more especially in the Brit
tsh isles, the consumer Of cigars. re-
quires that they should be dry-in fact,
almost brittle It. is a common Incl
dent in that country to see a smoker
take his cigar and place 1t to his ear
to see il it will give forth a cracking
sound. and il 1t does not craclzle the
cigar Is considered, too moist. Pine
smoking tobaccos, however, are re-
CURED yery moist.
In the United States the proper con-
dition for cigars and pipe smoking to-
baccos is just the reverse. The Ameri-
can smoker requires his cigars In such
a condition that the wrapper, binding
and filler will yield to the pressure Of
the fingers without cracking or break
Ing the wrapper, while, on the other
hand, the smoking tobaccos, especially
the gTanulated tobaccos, must be mod
erately dry.
Various methods are employed for
keeping cigars and tobaccos in the
proper condition, but up to the present
time no method has been devised that
will act automat ically. Both manufac-
tured tobacco and cigars are suscepti-
BILE to climatic conditions, and 1t re-
quires the constant attention Of the
manufacturer and dealer to regulate
the moisture in his stock cupboard or
showcase. In retail stores great. trou-
Bile Is experienced In keeping the air
IN the showcases In the proper condi-
ton, especially when these are con-
stantly being opened. In warm wet
weather more moisture is admitted
than Is needed, while during the cold
winter months the cigars are apt to be.

WINCH SS BIRDS.
Some Animal Oddities That Are
Found In New Zealand.

FOun0 IN New zealand.
An official Of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition was recently speaking of some
of the wingless birds Of New Zealand.
Those wingless birds have always
been Of especial interest to me- he
said. Nowhere else than in their
native land could they have survived,
for that is the only land in which no
destructive animals are to be found.
Being unable to fly, they could not
have escaped from swift hunting ami.
mails, il any there had been. And in
this connection 1t is interesting to note
that In all probability the kakapo, or
great ground parrot, once had the use
Of its wings, but, being a grass seed
feeder and finding no enemies on the
ground, it in process Of evolution lost
its ability to fly, though able to run
very swiftly. These birds are SO gen
enemies that If person sit down near
one it will presently tuck its head I'M
der its wing and go to sleep. They
only breed once in two years, and the
mother bird carefully hides the nest
from her mate, though why is not
known.
tsThe weka, or wood hen, is another
specially interesting species Of. the.
wingless birds. These birds mate for
life and take turn about in Matching
and watching the brood. One of the
pair is never absent from the nest, the
one on duty being supplied with food
by the other. There is something al
most human in the sight Of a male
weka leading his family out for a
stroll on the beach when the tide Is
low. s,.
Another is the roa, which is distin
guished by remarkable beak, long,
slender and slightly curved. The roa,
like the kakapo, is night bird, and its
chief food is earthworms. Its sight Is
very poor. and it may often be seen
standing in the, moonlight with the tip
Of its beak resting upon the ground,
apparently listening or feeling for the
vibrations Of a worms movements.
The male Of the roa does all the hatch
ing, and the young birds come from
the shell with all their feathers, mini
atures of their parents and with APP
parently all their intelligence, as. they
at once start out to search for food
and seem to require no instruction as
to the best places to find it."-New
York Herald.

First Printfng Press.

The first printing press in the eastern
settlement Of america was set, up in!
1888. In the summer Of that year a,
ship bearing a printing press, a printer
and three pressmen arrived on the
shores of New England, the printer
being Stephen Daye. In the same year
the press was set up at Cambridge.
One Of the earliest and perhaps the
most celebrated Of the issues was THE
Bay Psalm Book" 1t is Interesting to
know that the actual press is still pre-
served. After various wanderings In:
Boston, Connecticut, New Hampshire
and Vermont it was found In Windsor
county and presented to the Vermont
Historical society.

East and wsst.

The chief distinction between the
genius Of the eastern civilization and
that Of the west, according to an ori-
entail, lies In this: With you the indi-
vidual is the hub Of the universe even
charity begins at home with YOU
while with us Of the east it is the
whole, the state, not the individual,
that we emphasize. An individual is
nothing; the state, the whole, is every
thing. We sacrifice thousands Of in
dividuals, we sacrifice our children
and our wives upon the altar Of ma
tional honor, without hesitation, with
put regret. Forum.

4Anchorins 4 Lightship.

A very effective method is employed
to keep a lightship always in practi-
cally the same position. The ship is
moored by three anchors which rest
In the sea bed in the form Of a triangle.
When the tide alters its direction the
vessel. Of course, swings with it, but
only to limited extent. The ship can
not change right over, as it would If
only one anchor were used, for the
three anchors each fix 1t In different
position and do not allow it to move
more than q few yards.
