sands of pevout Pilgrims.

Thousands Of pilgrims from the va
rious outlying villages and other parts
Of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour in the morning to the
temples of Jagernath. says the Cal.
cutta Statesman.
The image Of the god Is placed on
q conspicuous part Of the temple, so
that II can be viewed at an advantage
by the immense crowd OF pilgrims.
and there at q certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part OF the festi-
val Is that water is not poured on the
image of the god until certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner Of the temple. There is pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri, the famous place Of Hindu pilgrim
age, to Maheoh on the day Of this
festival, and his very presence is an
Indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.

Did Not Know Coffee Was the Cause.

In cold weather some people think
q cup OF hot coffee good to help keep
warm. So it is-for a short time but

to weaken the circulation and the re-
action Is to cause more chilliness.
