Four Degrees of Bliss to Which the Dc.

The Hindoos believe in four special
abodes of the righteous after death.

which signifies 'to be absorbed in him.
To Saratoga, the first degree OF bliss
go the souls of all Of those who have
ever made Il pilgrimage to holy place
or who have paid.for the temple lights
for one month. In Saratoga there is
great happiness. and no work or sick
ness. The inmate Is allowed to read
the five sacred books, drink ambrosia
and hear the houris sing.
To Sameeba go the spirits OF al
Keerikarar, or workers in the Brahmar
cause; also those who forego the com
forts Of life, such rs sleeping in re
cunbent position, eating sufficiently
etc. Their happiness consists chiefly OF
continually praising Cod.

are the Brahman Yogis. They wander
about the earth. always going from left

of abstraction on divine subjects.

SUSPICIOUS BIRDS.
Easy to Make Sparrow. Show Their
Fear of a Trap.

Easy to Make Sparrows Show Their
Fear of Trap.
One winter day l made an expert
ment with sparrows to see exactly how
far their natural suspicion would hold
out against hunger. had often no.
ticed, that IL one put little bit Of
string, a large button or any strange
object among breadcrumbs the spar
rows would not touch the bread. They
feared trap. Starlings are less sus-
picious in this way. If they care
about the bread at all, they are more
trustful and do not make any fuss
about some small foreign object. But
l thought hard weather might make all
the difference even to sparrows.
So put n long piece of apple peel
among the bread. 1t looked quite good
to eat, but might be taken by very
suspicious bird for something of the
nature of string or tape, which spar
rows seem to regard with particular
distrust. Can they regard it as an
emblem of captivity? Directly the
bread was thrown on the ground about
fifty sparrows perched in tree above
1t. They looked ut 1t very glumly, and
not one ventured to come down. Gen
orally they would be devouring the
bread within few seconds. For lit
tie over three hours crowd of spar
rows watched the bread with the ter
rible piece of apple peel lying among
it, but 1t remained untouched. Then
one sparrow made up his mind to take
the risk. He was soon followed by all
the others. In twenty minutes the
bread was gone. But they had wasted
over three hours.-St james Gazette.

Cleaning Brass.

Here is the government recipe for
cleaning brass. 1t is used in all the
United States arsenals and Is said to
be the best in the world This Is the
recipe: One part of common nitric acid
to half a part Of sulpluric acid. Keep
the mixture IN stone jar, having
ready a pailful of fresh water and n
boxful Of sawdust. Articles to be
cleaned must first be dipped in the
acid mixture, then into the water and
dried with sawdust. This process of
cleaning Will change the brass imme-
diately to II brilliant color. If the metal
is greasy-as candlesticls would be-
dip first in a strong solution of potash
and soda, in warm weather. This cuts
the grease and permits the acid to
work. This method of cleaning brass is
entirely harmless and is very satisfac-
tory.-Clevcland Plain Dealer.
