Where Idols Are Eaten.

At certain seasons in some parts OF
India it is the duty of every devout
person to eat Il special sort of confec
tionery. Every confectiOner in Octo.
Der, for instance has Il pole about six
feet high at his door, and to this is
nailed Il great hook about Il foot long
and thick in proportion. On one side
of this is Il brisk fire. with a huge
earthen pan on it, Before the pan a
man may be seen sitting, for nobody
stands when he can sit, with kind of
wooden ladle. and with this he briskly
stirs quantity of bubbing black
looking sugar till it becomes quite
tough. He then scrapes it together
and puts ii on piece of board to cool
a little, and then, getting up and dex.
terously throwing it on the large hook.
he begins to pull out the tough sub
stance. He draws it out to the length
of four or five feet at a time and throws
it back and elongates it again. and so
he manipulates it till the mass becomes
as white as snow. This composition so
treated is manufactured in all sorts of
sacred fOrmS-figures of little idols and
gods-and is eagerly bought for con
sumption.-Strand Magazine.

Title Great Man

A Chinese who had long studied the
works of Confucius, who knew the
characters of 1900 words and could
read great part of every book that
came in his way once took it into his
head to travel into Europe. Upon his
arrival ut Amsterdam his passion for
letters naturally led him to n book
sellers shop, and as he could speak a
little Dutch he civilly asked the book
seller for the works of the immortal
XiXofou. The bookseller assured him
he had never heard the book mention
ed before. Alas" cried our traveller,
"to what purpose, then, has he tasted
to death to gain Il renown which has
never Travelled beyond the precincts Of
China" There is scarce Il village in
Europe and not one university that Is
not thus furnished with its little great
men.-Oliyer Goldsmith.

The First American Duel.

In the year 1880 occurred the first
duel known to have taken place on
American soil. The principals, Edward
Doty and Edward Leister, were serv-
ants of Mr. Hopkins, one of the New
England colonists. The men had quar-
sreled over some trifling matter and re-
sorted to the field for its settlement.
The affair was stopped by the authori-
ties but not before one had been
wounded in the thigh and the other in
the hand. There was no law covering
such matters, but the governor of the
province decided that the men should
be punished nevertheless. At his or
ders they were sent TO have their heads
and feet tied together and lie in that
condition twenty-four hours without
food or drink. They suffered so much,
however, that they were released at
the end of an hour.

upon their reserves very much as the
