Fasting as a Sacrifice.

The origin OF the religious practice
of fasting is very obscure. Herbert
Spencer collected a considerable body
of evidence to show that fasting may
have arisen out Of the custom among
savage peoples of providing refresh
ments for the dead. These offerings
are often made in so lavish a manner
as necessarily to involve the survivors
in temporary starvation. and it is no
uncommon thing for man to ruin
himself by funeral feast. 1t is sug-
gested that the fasting which was nj
first the inevitable result of such sacri-
fee on behalf Of the dead may eventu-
ally have come 10 be regarded as an
indispensable part OF all sacrifice and
so have survived as an established
usage long after the original cause had
ceased TO operate.-New York Ameri-

HlNDOO CASTE MARKS.
The Women of India Wear Them on
the Forehead.

the Forehead.
The caste marks worn by women IN
India are confined to the forehead and
are more uniform than those affected
by the men
The orthodox mark invariably worn
on religious and ceremonial occasions
is q small saffron spot in the center Of
the forehead. But the more popular
and fashiona BILE mark is tiny one
made with gluelike substance, usual
ly jet black in color, which is obtained
by frying sage till it gets charred and
then boiling it in water
Women who have not reached their
twenties are sometimes partial to the
use of small tinsel disks, purchasable
in the bazaar at the rate Of about
half dozen for a pie. To attach
these to the skin the commonest ma
terial used is the gum of the jack fruit,
quantities of which will be found stick
ing to a wall or pillar in the house,
ready for immediate use.
In the moro orthodox families it is
considered Objectionable that the fore
head of woman should remain blank
even for moment, and accordingly it
is permanently marked with a tattooed
vertical line. The blister takes some
times a fortnight to heal. but the Hin
do" woman, who is nothing if not a
martyr by temperament and training,
suffers the pain uncompIainingly.-

CIRCUS RIDERS.
They Were Kings of the Show In the
Old One Ring Days.

Old One Ring Days.
Riders at one time were the chief at
traction of the circus and were billed
as We now bill our death defying
deeds In the old one ring days the
whole performance was practically di-
vided between the rider and the clown
When the rider was not riding the
clown had the ring all to himself, even
the band ceasing to play until the
clown sang or got off his jokes, after
which the rider resumed the perform
ance. All riders in those days were
champions in the show printing. writes
Tody Hamilton in the Washington
Star.
When the late James A. Bailey made
son, the great rider, at $500 q week,
payable in gold. The Snowman became
sick of his bargain and tried to scare
Robinson out of it by dwelling on the
unhealthfulness of the climate He
told Robinson that it was very risky:
that few people could stand il. But
Robinson was wise and wouldn't scare
and insisted on the terms Of the con
tract
1t used to make Bailey turn cold to
approach Robinson on the long vOy-
age every week and hand the champion
$500 in gold coin the same as if the
rider were at work, but Jim held Bailey
TO his contract. No rider before or
since has ever received such a salary.

JUGGLED HIS EYE.
The Trick by Which Lord WolseIey
Conquered an Arab.


The loss of an eye years ago once
stood Lord Woseley in good stead. 1t
seemed impossible to get any informa-
ton of the enemy's strength and the
forces under the command of Arab
Pasha. At length an Arab was caught
near one of the OutpOStS. Naturally OK
pectng that he would be able to give
Il good deal of information, he was
taken before Lord WolseIey, who ques-
toned him. The man. however, re
fused TO speak.
Seeing that it was useless to con
tinue to ply him with questions, the
commander in chief resolved to use
strategy. 1t is no use your refusing
to answer me-" he said to the man. Il

NO very interesting ClIN league
polo games were pulled off last ev-
ening AT the coliseum before a good
sized crowd. In the first game the
talend BeaIlview team took a new
lease on life and by fast work took
the strong Greeks by a score Of 4 70 ;.
The second game was between the two
league leaders, the kibbeys and Cres-
cents. The cravat clerks finally won
out but not until nearly five minutes
of overtime had been played.
In the first game BeaIlvieW got the
jump on the candy makers and before
the dust of the first period had settled
had scored three Of their four goals.
In this period the Greeks were only
able TO make one count. In the sec
ond period the south cnders cinche d

into the net. In this period BeallView

Greeks safe. In the third the Greeks
made game rally and completely
