AzTEcs' HORRIBLE HOLIDAY.
They Celebrated the New Year With
Human Sacrifices.

0&SifHSoss
The bloody and complicated ritual Of
the Aztecs commemorated the return OF
their masterful war god, the sun. from
the south, and the ceremonies carried
on in his honor occupied a period Of
several days. The initiatory rites be-
gan before daylight Of the first morn
ing, when the chief priest and his sub
dfknltaries wendell their way In SOL
emn procession to the top OF their
greatest pyramldal sanctuary. Here
the high priest retired alone to small
temple, whose doorway opened toward
the east and as the rising sun crimson
ed and purpled the serrated mountains
he knelt and sprinkled thlckly upon
the marble floor the sacred meal.
AS the first rays Of the newborn sun
strike slantingly across the floor of the
tiny temple the Bonded priest beholds

the meal of the naked foot of their war
god. Upon this miraculous manifesto

assembled courlers that their god has
returned to them and that the grand
festal occasion is inaugurated.

In other ceremonies human beings
were killed and fiayed, and the partici-
pants in the sacrifice enveloped them
selves, in the bloody skins OF the VIC
tins, while they took part in a wild
and uncanny dance.
While the observance OF the new
year among the AZtecs seemingly pre-
dominated In bloody rites, they were
most likely confined to the religious or.

The Jewish Now Year.

In striking opposition to the spirit Of
JOY and happiness which peryades
Christendom generally is the New
Year of the Jews. With the Jews,
who also observe the New Year for
two days, the days are not days Of
feastlng and enjoyment, but days Of
judgment. According to the belief Of
every orthodox Jew, every member Of
the Jewish race is tried on the New
Year. The books KEEP. 10 heaven are
opened on that day. The record Of each
man for the year just ending is looked
through and taken under advisement
for ten days. On the tenth day, the
day OF atonement, the fate OF each
man for the coming year is drawn Up,
whether he should live or die, prosper
or be poor. On the day Of atonement
the fate Is sealed and nothing can
change 1t any more.-Cblcago Tribune.

i1nE CURIOUS SNAIL.

So nisodsd Aninni. .lrs

Hone wishss to examine email
he should place the specimen on a
piece Of glass. The snail is a cold
blooded animal, and contsGt With q
warm hand probably induces in him
| the feeling which would result in
US from placing the hand or body
on top of the kitchen range. The
GOODNESS of the glass viii be agree
sble to his snailship, and he viii
travel peacsably along, rapidly ex-
banding and contracting his broad,
suckerlike feet. -
His horns are protracted in an
inquiring manner, and if finger is
placed in front Of him he will prob
ably walk on until these feelers
come in contact with it. Then the
tentacles are withdrawn and waved
about in the effort to see the OBJ
struetion more clearly, for each
feeler contains at its end a small,
imperfect, but still discernible, eye,
which is capable Of distinguishing
between light and darkness
A snaiPs manner of Withdrawing
his horns is very curious. He does
not pull them back bodily into their
receptacle, but turns them inside
out, just as one turns the fingers Of
a glove in drawing it off backward.
The funny little creature has q
sense of smell and also a fairly well
developed ear, which lies close to
the roots Of his horns. His breath
ing apparatus is Of the simplest de-
scription. Looking carefully at his
right side, one may see that a dis
tinct hole occasionally appears
there, remains open a few moments
and then closes again. This is SIM
ply cavity in the snail's body, into
which he allows certain quantity
Of air to enter whenever he thinks
Of it," as one might say.
When air has thus found its way
into his interior he keeps it there
until its oxygen is exhausted by his
vital processes. What remains,
laden with carbonic acid, is allowed
to escape BY reopening the little
trapdoor, and the receptacle is filed
by another supply of fresh air.
The snail's mouth is armed with
a. sawlike tongue, which resembles
a long, narrow ribbon, coiled up in
such manner that only part Of
it comes into use at once. Distrib-
uted over the surface of this ribbon
are tiny teeth, one animal some-
times having as many as $4,000.
As one set of teeth becomes worn
away by leaf cutting another section
Of ribbon is uncoiled, and the teeth
which before were wrapped up at
the back of the mouth come for
ward to take their turn in pressing
the food against the horny upper
surface of the mouth and thus cut
ting it in clean incisions.
The shell of the snail Is horny
covering that serves to protect him |
against his numerous. foes. Slugs
arr simply snails that live retired
life and consequently need no Gov
ering at all. The snaips shell is |
built up from lime in the plants ON |
which it feeds, and the creatures
are never found on soil which pro-
duces no hme.-Philadelphia Rec.

1t may interest readers to knov
that rather over 100 years sgo-.-iu
1907, to be precise The country
was worshiping at the shrine Of 4
twelSe-year-old prodigy, boy acton
1.-The juvenile Henry Irving of bus
time, says the Glasgow Mail. Whils
at the height of his fame and pop
ularity this infsntile marvel visited,
among other places, Glasgow and
Edinburgh, and in both of thess
towns he is said to have created 9
hitherto undreamt Of sensation.
The wonderful youngsters mama
was William Henry West Betty, and
he was Irish to the backbone. Hn
histrionic capabilities we're evident
ly born with him, for it is recorded
that when at the age Of eight his
father treated him to his first visit
to the thester young Betty at the
conclusion Of the play solemnly in
formed his parent that he had de-
cided to be an actor himself.
How the youngster subsequently
came to get footing on the stage
is not known, but in the month Of
August, 1903, we find him making
his first appearance, performing the
leading part in popular drama at q
Belfast theater. He leaped 1t one
bound into the very forefront Of
popularity, and it is said that on
one occasion when be turned i'll the
whole nation awaited with feverisb
anxiety the different bulletins
which were regularly issued to tell
of young Betty's condition.
The boys first appearance in
Glasgow, which happened. in May,
1904, created unparalleled enthusi
ssm in the city during the several
nights he performed in the now
long defunct Dunlop Street theater.
The enormous crowds that hocked
to see the wonderful boy were un
precedented in the theatrical histo
~ of st. Mungo, and hundreds, il
IS said, were nightly Injured in the
great crush and desperate struggle
for admission to the theater In
Edinburgh, where the boy actor
afterward appeared, the same enor
nous crowds rushed to see him. To
quote from one Of the local papers
criticisms, he "set the town III a
flame" His subsequent appearance
at the world famous Drury Lane
completed the prodigy's triumph,
for it was not long before the me-
tropolis also succumbed to young
BettYs magnetic acting.
But Master Betty's stage success
was comparatively short lived. In
the course of few years he--or
his parents-compiled an immense
fortune, and with the wealth thus
speedily accumulated the young ae-
tor was given the chance of a first
class education. When out Of his
teens the glamour of the footlightS
again appeared to have appealed to
him, and he again made a bid to
regain his position as q popular
idol. BY this time, however, the
people had quite forgotten their
former hero, and young Betty had
to rest content with only very or
binary degree Of success. He had,
SO to speak, overstayed his welcome.
