BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou.
 sands of Devout Pilgrims.

Thousands Of pilgrims from the va rious outlying villages and other parts Of the lieoghly district poured in from an early hour in the morning 10 the temples of Jagernath, says the Cal cutta Statesman.
 The image of the god is placed on . conspicuous part Of the temple. so that fl can be viewed at an advantage by the immense crowd of pilgrims, and there at a 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 a certain small bird is found sitting on the topmost banner of the temple There is a 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.

Holt confesses Kiiins of Murray.

John D Holt was arrested in the mountains near Lincoln by Deputy. sheriff Shelby Todhunter. and lodged in jail at Fayetteville Wednesday morning. charged with the murder of John N. Murray near Lincoln. Sun day afternoon He has confessed the crime in all it's cold-blooded details, but does not seem 10 realize what it means. He constantly refers to the fact that Charlie Buck killed man from ambush and was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. and was pardoned after five months. Buck was sent mp from Washington county and was pardoned few months ago. and the consideration of the case evident + had much to do with Holts crime.
 Holt is - years of age and intelli- gent. His father is a merchant al Lincoln. and has besides one of the best farms in the county.
 Two weeks ago Murray charged Holt with stealing watermelons and gave him to understand that if he did not quit it. he would whip him This preyed on Holt's mind and threatened Q ruin the reputation he had estab- lished as a bully. and h. shot Murray from ambush in order to save his rep utation. figuring that. according 10 Bucks case. he would get five or six months in the peuitentiafY. This is the only theory that has been ad- vanced
 An interesting coincidence is that Murray's grandfather was shot from ambush and killed i'll Ohio 40 years ago by q man named Holt

The Sian of Power.

It is the greatest manifestation of power to be calm. It is easy to be active. Let the reins go, and the horses will drag you down. Anyone can do that; but he who can stop the plunging horses is the strong man. Which requires the greater strength letting go, or restraining? The calm man is not the man who is dull. You must not mistake calmness for dull ness or laZiness. Activity is the manifestation of the lower strength, calmness of the superior strength.-Swami Nivekann&nda
