Hindu FalzinC.

Some of the trance-like conditions
into which individuals fall and lie
for days and weeks have been studied
and have been found to be frauds.
The subjects are surreptitiously sup
piled with food and drink by their
attendants or family. The same is
true of the alleged power possessed
by. Hindu fakirs and ascetics of all
ages, of going into states of trance
in which they will allow themselves
to be buried alive and dug up again
and revived after several months
have elapsed. In one instance on rec
ord an individual Of this class al
lowed himself to be buried alive and
his grave watched by a guard of Eng
lish soldiers, and was dug up at the
end of the time exceedingly dead.
In another, the English officer in
charge became alarmed on the third
day. and had the fakir "resurrected"
when he was found still alive. A
reed or bamboo at one corner of the
grave to supply air would explain all
these cases. The whole subject is in
volved in such an atmosphere of mys-
terry and "fakery' that 1t is impossi-
BILE to attach serious weight to the
claims made.-American Magazine.

MISSION OF COUNTRY PAPER.
Must BE Clean, Have Character and
Command Confidence.

Three prizes were offered at the
meeting of the Missouri Press Asso-
citation at Excelsior Springs for the
best articles on THE Real Mission of
the Country Newspaper" Thirteen
entered the contest. The paper win
ming the first prize was written by
w. l.. Nelson, editor of the Bunceton
Eagle. and is here given:
THE real mission of the country
newspaper is to give the news. With
out news there is no newspaper.
Facts and figures, not rumors or
,hearsay, constitute news.
I'm the garnering of the news har-
vest the local field should be looked
upon with the most favor. In coun'
try newspaper nothing can take the
place of country news. The story OF
the wide world is told under glaring
headlines and catchy captions in the
pages of the city papers-told so fully
and so fast that competition in this
we'll filled field is folly. The local
field is for the country newspaper,
which alone gives TO It's readers the
story of you all's house. sympathiz-
ing with those who sorrow and re-
joicing with those in merry mood.
More strictly speaking. then, the mis-
sion of the country newspaper is to
give the local news.
1.-The legitimate local field is furth-
er limited by careful selection. No
newspaper should publish all the
news-no more than should father.
sitting at his own fireside, repeat all
that he may have heard during the
day. A country newspaper must be
clean, have character and conscience
and be able to command confidence.
The best country newspaper is brave
enough to tell the truth when 1t
should be told and big enough to
leave untold secret story of shame
and sin when a scoop would only
add to the sorrow.
Important as is the news. no
newspaper fulfills its high mission
when it does no more than give the
news. A newspaper, and especially
a country newspaper, must be more
than a mere phonograph. It must
stand for something. It must be in
sympathy with those whom It serves.
1t is possible for a newspaper to
point out to the people, many of
whom are its patrons, the pathway
to local possibilities which means
progress. Above all, the newspaper
should not fail to advocate those
things which mean better living and
higher thinking.
Finally, then, let 1t be said that
the real mission of the country news
paper is to give the local news ac-
curately and. fearlessly, but in kind
ness, giving no unnecessary publicity
to wrongdoing, yet sparing rot frauds
nor shams, recognizing good wher-
ever found, striving to build up ratb er
than tear down, so that the files of
the paper shall constitute helpful
history, accurate, yet showing the
sunshine rather than the shadow"

The Daby's Age Varied.

An Atchison woman with a little
baby tells the following story. She
says that woman caller said What
a dear little baby; how old is it?"
Sixteen months" replied the Atchi-
son woman. well, dear me, 1t looks
older" said the caller, and then went
on and talked and talked, and finally
turned again to the baby and said:
THAT precious baby, how cid is it?"
Sixteen months" replied the moth
er. well, dear me-" smilingly said
the caller, "oh, such baby for It's
age" and went on talking and talk
ing. Again turning to the baby the
caller said: "What darling angel
the baby is; how old is it?" Eight
teen months" said the exasperated
mother. well, l declare, it looks
two years DID," said the caller, and
then talked and talked. Just as she
was leaving the caller stopped and
kissed the baby and said: BLESS its
little heart; how old is it?" "Ten
months" shrieked the outraged
mother, but the caller tripped gayly
away; she had not noticed the replies
to her questions, and had no idea
and did not care how old the baby

War at Long Range.

Throughout the Kaiser maneuvres
both commanders remained right at
the back of their armies. The pic

many went to war. The fact that
after leaving the general command
OF one of the two armies one could
traverse miles of road without meet
ing the main body, baggage trains
and occasional stragglers being the
only signs Of war, was the most strik-
ing lesson the maneuyres taught.--

Names of the Flyers.

The names of our newer trains
are taking on color. For instance.
the North Star Limited has good
sound. The Rocky Mountain Linn
tied, too, means something. There
is touch of old romance in Golden
Gate Limited, while the New Orleans
Limited suggests the odor of black
coffee or gin fizzes made by Ramos.
Then come all these birds of trains
the Early Bird and the Night Hawk
and the Red Flyer. Nor can we for
get the Meteor that sails across the
southwestern sky. The Continental
Limited has broad sound that sug-
gests the crossing of many States.
And is 1t necessary to suggest that
the Sunfiower Limited goes to Kan
sas? The Dixie Flyer must be
speedy and the word Dixie proves TO
us that this does not head for the
North, just as the Metropolitan Ex-
press and the Knickerbocker Special
are sure to be bound for New York.

A Surprise Dish.

In one of Balzac's novels there IL
an incident in which Partisan host.
ess gives delight to an elderly dinner
guest by always having an extra dish.
by way of a surprise, for him. Some.
thing of the same sort was provided
by the hostess of a luncheon party
at a Broadway hotel the other day
through the agency OF the head waiter
and the chef.
"Canape la Russo" the dish was
called, and in spite of gastronomic
traditions 1t was the piece de resist
ance of the meal. The canape was
shaped like a pyramid and was COM
posed of such a variety of things that
1t is not easy to remember them all.
The base of the pyramid rested on
plaque covered with the grated yolks
of hard-boiled eggs, bordered With
the hearts of endive. The first layer
round the base was composed of fillets
of Russian herring, set in dainty
strips of red pepper rinds. The next
row above consisted of medallions OF
caviare framed In strips of green
peppers. Next was a row of slices OF
hard-boiled eggs surrounded by ca.
pers, this finishing the base. The
shaft of the pyramid was composed
of first a fine ripe tomato stuffed with
celery mayonnaise; next an alligator
pear, then a whole hard-boiled egg
placed upright surmounted by a
heart of lettuce. These were all held
in place by a long silver skewer.-

Mrs. Montague,s Discovery.

Thirty years have passed since the
death of the woman who is supposed
to have founded the collar industry
in Troy, ~ Y. AS 10000 persons
are engaged In making collars and
cuffs there. and as the city produces
nearly nine-tenths OF the collars and
cuffs made in this country. 1t is evil
dent that the distinction OF starting
the business is considerable. II seems
that Orlando Montague, Troy shoe
manufactures, was scrupulously neat,
and that his wife found the labor of
washing his shirts burdensome. The
shirts OF the time had the collars and
cuffs attached, as have many fine
shirts to-day. To avoid washing the
whole shirt when only the collar was
soiled. Mrs. Montague made detach-
able linen bands tied round the neck
with tapes. Under this arrangement
her husband could put ON r:ean
collar every morning and every even
in5 without compelling her to spend
too much time over the washtub.
Her neighbors followed her example,
and the demand for such collars was
so great that Methodist minister.

And although trimming is used. and

merely decorative, for it must aid
in the creation of modlsh lines and
accentuate a salient point to enhance
its beauty, else the attractiveness of
both gown and trimming will be de-
stroyed. Artistic effects must be
created and the trimming, as trim
ming, must be unostentatious, blend
ing into the costume to form a COM
plete part of the whole, without de-
tracing from the simplicity and
beauty of the classical lines which
form the basis of present-day modes.

Careful Exercise.

A timely article on reducing the
hips is published in the Pictorial Re-
view: When beginning the exercise
one should be very careful to get used
to 1t very gradually, as it puts great
strain upon the muscles and is liable
to make one rather lame at first, If
taken too violently One should be
extended upon the floor, supporting
ones self by one hand, while the
other is placed upon the hip. While
holding this position raise the body
gradually from the floor until the
whole weight is supported by the
hand and feet. 1t is comparatively
easy to get the body from the floor
as far as the knees, but to bring 1t up
to the full extent just described is
not easy at first. 1t should be tried
first on one side and then on the
other.
