Worship of Snakes.

Snakes, the objects of terror to most Europeans in eastern lands, are worshlped in many parts of India In some districts there are from 15,O00 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 in- stances valuable properties for their maintenance and for the cost of the numerous ceremonies which their keepers have to perform In these shrines the HindGs set up fantastic idols 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 News-Tribune.

Nalue of the Thumb.

-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 im- portant among them Is the thumb, for without 1t the hand no longer is a pincers, but merely a claw. The French court allows in damages 10 to 35 per cent. value for the right and 10 to 15 per cent. for the left thumb. The Austrian schedule gives from IS per cent. for the left to 30 per cent. for the right. In Germany 20 to 2S per cent. and even as high as 33.3 per cent. has been awarded. The percentage is based on 100 as the total value of the hand. industriously speaking, before the accident.

STIR UP CIVIL WAR.

Congressman Jenkins Warns Nation
 of State Rights Agitations.
 CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Aug. D. Congressman Jenkins, chairman Of the judiciary committee of the national house of representatives, issued a statement relative to the North Caro- lima railroad rate imbroglio. Judge Jen' kins says there has been no event since the civil war that calls for so severe condemnation as the recent senseless tirade on behalf of states against the nation. He adds that 1t is humiliating that the case has been compromised and that the nation has to some extent surrendered.
 "The civil war was the result of such agitation, and we may have earlier than we want another civil war;" he says. ITO avert such calamity and preserve the nation we must conform to the law. obey the law and have the law enforced according to the frame. work provided in the constitution.
 This continual talk about state au thorities resisting federal power by armed force will sooner or later end ir bloodshed, possibly in the disruption of the Union.
 "The supreme court of the Unitet States may err. It may differ witt the views of a great majority of thI people. But however that may be. th' constitution says its decision Is ina and must be regarded as the suprem law of the land, and that is what mus govern us.
 Better live under a wrong decision than amid anarchy that must pre- vail in this country If each state au thority is going to disregard the cor stitutlon of the United States and as sert its own power, right or wrong, defiance of the national power, thereb weakening and absolutely disregardin this great government that has cost many generations so much to mak and preserve it."
