The occidental reader who shrugs
bis shoulders deploringly over the evils
of Indian caste has little conception
of what suffering the custom involves.
Its tragedies extend even to the hum
BILE, commonplace matters of everyday
life. A little incident witnessed by
Prince Bojidar Karageorgeyitch and
chronicled in his Enchanted India"
needs no comment.
Stones and flying sticks were thrown
at little pariah girl whose shadow as
she passed defiled the food of Brah-
man.
He merely threw away the rice,
which the dogs soon finished. But

Mastication,

"The body is a mandatory" said
a doctor recently. 1T has to manufac-
ture bone and blood and muscle and
brain out of bread and butter, eggs,
beef and milk, and a wonderful proc
ess 1t is. Now, the first part of the
process takes place in the mouth, and,
as in most factories, the first is the
most important. If wrong start is
made, everything that follows is put
wrong. If the food isn't well mas
ticated and mixed with the saliva. the
stomach, the liver and the intestines
are thrown out Of gear; consequent
ly most of the more advanced doctors
are paying a great deal of attention to
the condition of their patients teeth.
They know, TO garble Shakespeare a
bit, that good digestion waits on mas
tication, and health on both."-New
York Tribune.

A Chinese superstition.

Fengshui is the Chinese superstition
that determines good site or locality
and IL a town on the Yangtze has not
a good fengshui trade will not come to
it, and 1t will be ruined. A town
named Peishih had Its pagoda in the
wrong place-not far enough down the
river-and the result was that all traf-
fic which should have come to it was
swept past, Peishih being left out in
the cold. The people pulled down the
pagoda and built another one in the
supposed right spot, as nothing would
convince them that the depression
could arise from any other cause than
that of a bad fengshui.
The city of Wanshein, on the other
hand, has a perfect fengshui, two fine
pagodas, and is very prosperous. But
the fact that Wanshein is situated in
fertile valley, where wheat, barley
and the poppy flourish abundantly,
while Peishih is barren and miserable,
does not concern the inhabitants so
much as the fengshui site. This re-
markable idea in the Chinese mind is
only one Of thousands like it.

Camel a Delicate Beast.

Contrary to the widespread but erro-
neous opinion, the camel is very deli
cate animal. A camel that has worked
fifteen days In succession needs a
months pasturage to recuperate. 1t is
liable to host OF ailments and acct
dents. When a caravan crosses a seb-
kha, or dry salt lake, it is rare that
some OF the animals do not break a
leg. IL the fracture is In the upper
part of the limb there is nothing for
1t but to slaughter the animal and re-
tail its flesh as butchers meat.
If the lower part OF the limb has
been injured the bone is set and held
in position by means Of splints made
OF palm branches, which are bound
with small cords. If no complications
ensue at the end of a month the frac-
ture is reduced. When it is a case of
simple dislocation the injured part is
cauterized with a redhot iron, then
coated with clay and bandaged with a
strip of cloth. Fifteen days afterward
the animal is generally cured. -vulga-

Lies pax.


The time that has elapsed since the
first appearance of life on earth has
been variously estimated at 100000
600 to 20OOOO,OO0 years. To tax our
powers of comprehension as little as
possible DIR. II. Schmidt of Jena has
taken the shortest estimate and has
tried to make understandable the FIVE
great evolutionary periods through
which life has passed by comparing
them with day of twenty-four hours.
This is the result: The archeozoic pc
Rod 02,0O0,O00 years. is represented
by IL hours 30 minutes; paleozoic (34,-
100000 years., hours Z minutes;
mesoZoic Q1,000,0OO years., 2 hours SO
minutes; cenozoic 100000 years., 43
minutes; anthropozoic 100000 years.,
2 minutes. If the last period, the age
of man, be compared in it's subdivi-
sions by the same scale it is found
that the "historic'' portion covers only
8 seconds, and . seconds are sufi-
cient for the Christian era. 1t seems
incredible, but the evidence is con-
vincing that this does not exaggerate
the time relations of our written rec
ords with the records of the rocks.

sk.t.ton In N. c,o...

The original of the singular saying
"A skeleton In the closet" which is
found in almost every language In Eu-
rope, is found in one of those curious
collections of stories that have come
down from the middle ages. In one OF
these collections, compiled by an I'M
known hand about the middle of the
tenth century, there is a story of a
wealthy lady who, having a secret
grief, confided 1t to a friend who was
apparently perfectly happy woman.
She was the wife of a nobleman who
lived in his castle in the south OF
France. She and her husband were
outwardly on the most loving terms.
Not care cloud seemed to cast
shadow on her path.
After hearing the story OF her afflict-
ed friend the noble lady took her by
the hand and led her to secret cham
Der adjoining her bedroom, there OPEN
ed the door of closet and exposed a
skeleton. "Know, my friend" she said,
mo one is happy. Every day l am
forced by my husband to kiss this
grinning death head, which is that of
a gentleman who was my husbands
rival and whom would have married
had not my parents willed otherwise"

Lady PASSENGERS Loo.

1t was blowing rather hard, and
there was nasty sea on an hour and
a half before the first breakfast bugle.
An officer Of an ocean liner hurried
along the passage between the state

"Oh, Mr.. Officer, please stop"
He turned and saw a dear old lady
with a wrapper thrown around her
peeping through her half open door.

''Mr. Officer, please would you call

The End of the Ride.

Coming out of one of the large de-
partment stores two well dressed wo-
men saw group of street urchins gaz-
ing at their automobile, and one little
girl was heard to say, "Wish l could
have a ride in it." The women smiled,
and then the child was asked If she
would really like ride and was help
ed into the machine after assuring the
women that she would not be missed
at home. Her companions set up a
cheer as the machine started, and some
OF them were still on the spot when it
returned half an hour later, bringing
back the little girl. The women con-
graduated themselves on having given
the little one an extraordinary treat,
but were disenchanted when she told
them that her father was a chauffeur
and that she liked his machine "a
great deal better. New York Trib-

How letters Strike Our Eyes.

Roman letters of various sizes are
commonly called into request by ocu-
lists in testing vision. Recent expert
ments show great differences in the
ease with which the various letters are
recognized by the same person. i is
especially difficult Of recognition and
is apt to be mistaken for Y. BY sim
ilar optical illusion the angle Of L is
rounded of, making the letter resem-
bic reversed j. V is the easiest Of
all letters 20 recognize, and Q presents
little difficulty. X is more easily rec
ognized than II. which resembles it
closely. and both N and z are easily
recognized A is easily guessed at
from its general form, but Is difficult
Of positive recognition. including dis
tinct perception Of the horizontal line.
II and + are among the most difficult

Nothing is more characteristic Of late
afternoons in Ramazan than the prep
arations for the evening meal which
preoccupy all AIoslems, particularly
those who work with their hands. AS
the sun nears the horizon fires are
lighted, tables are spread. bread is
broken, water is poured out. cigarettes
are rolled. and hands are lifted half
way to the mouth in expectation of the
signal that gives liberty to eat. This
breaking OF the daytime fast is called
iftar and is an institution in itself. To
be invited to iftar is a particular mark
of friendship.-Scribner's Magazine.

a Commitment to the Minister.

In Albert Dawson's work, Joseph
Parker-His Life and Ministry" there
are some anecdotes of the famous min
lister Of the City temple. We are told
that what DR.. Parker regarded as, in
its own peculiar way, the best COM
pliment he ever received came from
an omnibus conductor. The vehicle
was crossing Holborn viaduct, and
when it came to the City temple a
passenger alighted.
'Tbat's the man, and that's the
place." said the conductor, indicating
DR.. Parker's church. 81 went there
once, and l enjoyed myself so much
that I'm going again the first night off
1 have. We laughed, and we cried,
and we had a rare time. You see,"
the conductor continued, "he doesn't
make religion so - serious"

Meat on = Shit.

1t was the custom in medieval times
to serve roast meat on spit and to
pass it round the table for each guest
to cut off what he liked. In France
one still finds chicken livers and ba-
con served on small spits.
1t is probable that many people con-
tinued to prefer fingers to table uten-
sils even after these were perfected
and in general use, for knives were
certainly invented at the period when
Charles MI. chose to butter his bread
with his royal thumb.
