The Glove on the Pole.

A quaint custom in an English town.
Honiton. is 'proclaiming the fair" The
town obtained the grant Of fair from
the lord of the manor so long ago as
1857. and the fair still retains some of
the picturesque characteristics of by.
gone days. The town crier, dressed III
picturesque uniform and carrying Il
pole decorated with gay flowers and
surmounted by large gilt model OF n
gloved hand. publicly announces the
opening of the fair. as follows: "Oyez.
Oyer! Oyez! The fairs begun. the
glove Is up. No man can he arrested
till the glove is taken down." Hot
coins are then thrown among the chill
dren. The pole and glove remains dis
played until the end Of the fair.

WOMEN OF PARAGUAY.
Patient and Good Natured, Barefooted
and White ROBBED.

Paraguay Is rich in local color. The
picturesque character of the native
population, with their quaint Indian
fea +"rcs and habits of everyday life
is i--taresting TO anybody fond of OBJ
serving strange phases of human life
BY nature these people are patient and
gentle. seldom complaining, chattering
and laughing from sunrise TO sunset
and taking small thought of what the
morrow may have in store for them.
1t is hard to imagine how Lopez
could have drilled them into fighting
material of strength enough to keep in
check the combined forces of Argen-
tina, Brazil and Uruguay for five long,
weary years, and it speaks volumes for
the indomitable energy of the man that
he was able to sustain his position for
so protracted time.
Clothing is very much Of superfiu-
ity in Paraguay. says the Boston
Transcript The attire of the women
is cotton chemise with q long sheet
like shawl, or mauta, passed over the
head and around the body in Moorish
fashion. The dress Of the men IS
equally simple, consisting only of cot
ton shirt and trousers. Both sexes are
guiltless of foot covering. At times an
almost uncanny feeling rises when a
group of these white robed, dark hair
ed maidens pass suddenly with the
silent tread of unshod feet.
or morning In the market places
the women folk flock TO sell their
wares, carrying on their heads the bas-
kets containing the few cents worth
of native produce they have been able

AN EPISODE OF. WAR.
The Only Coward Evans Ever Saw In
the Naval Service.


After Admiral Evans had been so
grievous.y wounded in the attack o.,
Fort Fisher Guriag the civil war he
was picked up by marine named
Wasmouth and carried into compare
tive shelter Wnsmoutb was killed "a
few minutes later. Evans own ac-
count continues: After Wasmouth
was killed | soon fell asleep. and when
l awoke 1t was some time before |
could recall my surroundings. The
tide had, come In. and the hole in
which | was lying was nearly full of
water. which had about covered me
and was trickling into my ears.

emily very near. and the thought came
to me that could swim off to her If
only had bit of plank or driftwood.
but this | could not get 1t was plain
enough that | should soon be drowned

to get out somehow. Dead and wound

my legs in any way. and when | dug
my hands into the sides of my prison
and tried to pull myself out the sand

water. Finally made a strong effort
and rolled myself sideways out of the
hole.
when | got out | saw a marine n
eli al fcfa MI
a pile of sand and firing away deliber-
ately mt the fort. called to him to
pull me in behind his bar of sand. but
he declined on the ground that the fire
was too sharp for him to expose him

volver to change his mind, and in two
seconds he had me in place of afe-
ty-that is to say. safe by small mar
gin. for when he fired the Confederate
bullets would snip the sand within a
few inches of orr heads. II the ma

of the only coward ! ever saw in the
naval service. At first | was not con

so completely had he worked himself
into the sand. He was actually below
the surface of the ground. The mont
tors were firing over us. and as a shell

to his chin. which hurt me. as it jostled
my broken legs. | said: Hello. Are
you wounded? No, SIR he replied: I

The LAND OF WORSHIP.
The East Believes Too Utterly to Care
IL Others Disbelieve.


Prayer pervades the east. Far off
across the sands when one is travel
ing in the desert one sees thin min
arets rising toward the sky. A desert
city is there. 1t signals its presence
by this mute appeal to Allah. And
where there are no minarets in the
great wastes of the dunes, in the eter-
nal silence, the lifelessness that is not
broken even by any lonely, wandering
bird, the camels are stopped at the APP
pointed hours. the poor and often rag
ged robes are laid down and the brown
pilgrims PROSTATE themselves in pray
er. And the rich man spreads his car
pet and prays, and the half naked
nomad spreads nothing, but he prays
too.
The east is full Of lust and full of
money getting and full of bartering
and full Of violence, but it is full of
worship-of worship that disdains con-
cealment, that recks not of ridicule or
comment, that believes too utterly to
care If others disbelieve. There are
In the east many men who do not pray.
They do not laugh at the man who
does. like the unpraying Christian.
There is nothing ludicrous in prayer. In
Egypt your Nubian sailor prays in the
stern Of your dahabiyeh, and your
Egyptian boatman prays by the rudder
Of your boat, and your black donkey
boy prays behind a red rock in the
sand. and your camel man prays when
you are resting in the noontide watch
ing the faroff. quivering mirage. lost
in some hayward dream.
And must you not pray, too. when
you enter certain temples where once
strange gods were worshiped in whom
no man now believes?-Robert Hichens
