which signifies ''to be absorbed in him."
To Saratoga, the first degree of bliss
go the souls of all of those vsho have
ever made a pilgrimage to a 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 all
Keerikarar, or workers in the Brahman
cause; also those who fCrego the COM
forts Of life, such as sleeping in re-
cumbent position, eating sufficiently,
etc. Their happiness consists chiefly Of
continually praising God.
To Sar Dam, the third heaven, go the
souls Of such as never spoil Gods mod
ell by shaving or pairing the nails.
These are the Brahman YOgis. They
wander about the earth, always going
from left to right. They eat nothing
but nauseous food and live in a con-
slant state of abstraction on divine
subjects.
The fourth heaven, Sayutcheyam, is
the coming abode of the "nyane," or
philosophers. These nyane pay no at
tentiOn to heat or cold, never battle
and often go for weeks without food.
If they are sick, no one knows it but
themselves. They are the stoics Of the
world Of to-day and believe that in
Sayutcheyam they will eventually be
absorbed in the deity.

Track laying on the Duluth extension

there are nearly enough rails piled up
