Worship of Snakes.

Snakes, the objects of terror to
most Europeans in eastern lands, are
worshiped in many parts of India. In
some districts there are from $4,000
to 10000 shrines dedicated exclus-
lively to the worship of snakes. These
shrines, which are invariably in hon.
or of one of the minor divinities of
the country, possess, in some IT,
stances valuable properties for their
maintenance and for the cost of the
numerous ceremonies which their
keepers have to perform. In these
shrines the Hindus set up fantastic
dolls of serpents. The devotees of
this strange religion make periodical
offerings Of dough and milk and
cooked rice to the serpents living in
the shrine in order to receive their
favor.-Detroit NewSTribune.

Solomon says thumbs up" because
the thumb is said to be worth fully
one-third the entire value Of the hand.
The different fingers are far from
having all the same value before the
eyes of the law. Much the most i'm
portant among them is the thumb,
for without it the hand no longer Is
a pincers, but merely claw. The
French court allows in damages 15
to 35 per cent. value for the right
and 10 to Is per cent. for the left
thumb. The Austrian schedule gives
from Is per cent. for the left to 35
per cent. for the right. In Germany
20 to % per cent, and even as high
as 1873 per cent. has been awarded.
The percentage is based on 100 as the
total value of the hand, industriously
speaking, before the accident.

WHEN TO WIND A WATCH.
The Morning, Not the Evening, the
Best Time, the Matchmaker Says.

Most people," said the watchmak-
er, wind their watches at night; but
1t would be better to wind them In the
morning. You see, we are liable to
go to bed at different hours, and so
wind our watch at irregular inter-
walls: and it is better to wind 1t regu-
larly. Then we are more liable to
forget to wind our watch at night
than in the morning and SO may let 1t
run down. But we are pretty sure to
get up in the morning at our regular
hour, whatever the hour at which we
went to bed, ard so by winding 1t then
we may insure regularity of wind
ing; and the watch is brought to mind
then, when we put 1t on for use, and
we are less likely to forget to wind It.
So morning is the best time to wind
a watch, If you can get yourself into
the habit of winding it then"

THE DIET OF CONSERVATIVES.
Overlooking Recommended, But Prop
or Digestion Must Be Assured.

Herbert c. Clapp, of Boston. writing
in the Medical Record. says that diet
is a most important factor in the
treatment of tuberculosis. A con-
sumptive is much more likely to eat
too little than too much. Systematic
overfeeding with proper digestion Of
the food are the accepted remedies.
The food must be palatable and we'll
served and the amount must vary
with the patient and his circum-
stances. The outdoor air will enable
him to assimilate large amounts. Milk
and eggs are the best foods to pro-
duce fats, which are most necessary
to the patient. The author advocates
three solid meals day, with lunches
between of milk and eggs, about three
quarts of milk and six eggs day be-
ing taken. Fresh meats are especially
necessary for these patients, but a
mixed diet Is undoubtedly the best
borne. Meat juice is valuable. Pastry.
candy, fried foods and cabbage should
be let alone. Alcohol is not advisable,
but coffee, tea and chocolate may be
taken moderately.

pov WINS NOVEL SUIT.
Members Of Court Maybe Jiarksd Back
to Their Own Youth.

According to q recent decision In
the Mississippi courts, electric light
companies must insulate trees as well
as poles, particularly those trees
which invite the small boy climber
In a Mississippi town recently q small
boy climbed a tree and coming In con-
tact with the uninsulated wires Of a
lighting company, which passed
through the branches, received a
shock which caused him to fall. AS
a result the young climber was badly
injured and his father brought suit
against the lighting company. The
tree in question was small oak, hav-
ing numerous branches which came
close to the ground. The court hand
ed down the novel decision that as the
lighting company had knowledge OF
the tree and what kind Of tree 1t was.
It also ought to have seen that 1t was
Just the kind of tree into which chill
dren we're likely to climb. Therefore,
said the court, the immemorial habit
of small boys to climb trees filled
with abundant branches is one OF
which corporations stretching wires
through such trees must take notice
It was held that small boys had a right
to climb such trees and verdict was
given in favor of the father.

FACTS ABOUT BOOK OF JOB.
Great Epic Probably Not the Work Of
One Man.

The creation Of the tribal epic was
to some extent regarded as tribal
work, like the building Of the tribal
temple. Believe, then, II you will,
that the prologue Of Job and the ep-
ilogue and the speech of Elihu are
things inserted after the original
work was composed. But do not sup
pose that such insertions have that
obvious and spurious character which
would belong to any insertions In a
modern individualistic book. Do not
regard the insertions as you would re-
gard chapter in George Meredith
which you afterwards found had not
been written by George Meredith, or
half scene in Ibsen which you found
had been cunningly sneaked inSby Mr.
William Archer. Remember that this
old world, which made these old
poems like the Iliad and Job, always
kept the tradition Of what 1t was
making. A man could almost leave
poem to his son to be finished as he
would have finished 1t, just as man
could leave q field to his son to be
reaped as he would have reaped 1t.
What is called Homeric unity may be
fact or not. The Iliad may have
been written by one man. It may
have been written by hundred men.
But let us remember that there was
more unity in those times in hun.
dred men than there is unity now in
one man Then n cttv waa 1{ka ono
man. Now one man is like a city in
civil Ware. X. Chesterton in Put

Men Shun Gew-Gaws.

There is one thing that no real
man will stand for" said the tall girl.
HE positively will not carry an um-
brella all trimmed up with knots Of
ribbon. Several times l have been
obliged to lend an umbrella to men
who got caught in the rain. Each Of
those umbrellas was ornamented with
tufts Of ribbon when the man left the
house; when he brought 1t back the
ribbon was gone. He had been
ashamed to be seen walking along the
street carrying an umbrella whose
handle was trimmed with ribbon
rosettes and had taken them OF as
soon as he left the house and had
forgot to put them on again. Nova
days in order to save trouble for both
of us, take the ribbon off myself be-
fore offering a man an umbrella"

He Got the Job.

A traveller just returned from ia
pan tells the following story: A mer-
camille firm in Toxic, having exten-
sive commercial relations with the
United States, was desirous of en-
gaging the services of a translator.
Many applicants replied to the firms
advertisement, but one Of the neces-
sary qualifications was the ability to
speak the English tongue in the YER
nacular, which qualification proved
to be a stumbling block to most of
the applicants for the position. Final
ly one appeared who had received his
education in the United States, and
on being asked if he was well versed
in the vernacular, he replied, Sure
Mike!" He secured the position.

the WAY OF THE WORLD.


The great man lay dead. The news
papers rang with his praises and men
passed them from mouth to mouth; a
gloom hung over the community, and
the child. his friend, wept bitterly.
The busy man said, "I saw him on
the street not long ago, and he looked
ill and downhearted. wish I'd crossed
over to speak to him, but was Just
hurrying for my train. He was good
friend of mine, and I might have
cheered him up a bit and told him
how we missed him everywhere. It's
too bad, too bad!" The thoughtless
man said, IL can never forgive my
self. l knew he was sick for q week,
but I had this great meeting to ar
range for, and 1t just slipped my
mind. He stood by me nobly when
was in trouble years ago. can never
forgive myself" The child pressed a
tear-stained face against the window.
why did you want so much to take
him that flower last Sunday?" asked
her mother Because l loved him. v
said the child, simply. She was watch
ing the wonderful array OF flowers,
which men had sent, as they were
carried into the church. 20, mother,
see how beautiful they are! wish
could go with you to the church; but
suppose I might disturb people by
crying. And anyway" she added, 81

A TOO Eat" Hint.

If you have afternoon tea with a
friend and she serves only one lump
of sugar to cup pretend it's all the
same to you; that is, unless you want
her to know that you see she is hint
ing that you are taking on that arch
enemy of womankind-f1esh. King
Edward took that way of showing the

guilty of acquiring too many pounds,
and that the libelous term fat" soon
might be applied to her If she did
not accept advice concerning her diet.

To Keep Flowers Fresh.

"If you want to bring flowers in
town from the country" said the girl
who goes out occasionally, don't
bring them in your hand. If it takes
you two hours to come in they will
never revive, no matter how much
water you put on them after you get
here. Take a pasteboard shoe box.
lay wet paper in it, put the flowers in.
sprinkle them well, and put another
layer of paper over them. Just bring
them home with you and they'll keep
fresh and sweet in your fiat or studio

Much anxiety Is manifested by
the officials Of the Treasury De-
partment over the financial situa-
sion in New York. Secretary
Cortsly ou declines to discuss the
situation for publication, but he
said that he did not believe there
should be a general feeling of
alarm.
The concern of the administra-
tion ia regard to the financial con-
dition rests almost solely on the
ground that public confidence be-
comes readily impaired, and the
effect of such Impairment is always
q thing to be dreaded in the busi-
ness world. 1t 10 important TO
note, however, in this connection
that the reports from the country
at largo are Eeassuring to a degree,
and dispatches from all the large
cities, east and west, indicate an
undistuybed business and hnan-
cial situation. Comptroller ofthe
currency Ridgsley, in commenting
upon the situation, said: my ad-
vices from New York this morn
ing are reassuring, and the situa-
, zion there should now improve.
This is time for ooolness and
prudence, not for alarm." II is
also note worthy that thus far nc
