Self-renunciation is one of the fea-
lures of Hindooism. A writer says:
"The ascetic life Is the natural fruit
of the pessimism of India In no 9TH
er country is such transcendant merit
attached to modification of the flesh.
Ascetics press their martyrdom to al
most Incredible limits; they will pass
their days outstretched upon bed of
spikes; they will hold up an arm till
it withers in the socket; literally they
treat the body as though it were a
slave. The devotee is saluted every
where as maharaia, men of wealth
and position constantly In their de-
clining years resign their possessions
to their heirs. and wait for death in
nakedness and poverty by the Ganges
at Benares; nay, 1t is no uncommon
thing that young men, the products of
our universities, should relinquish
their interests and their ambitions
and join the wandering army of devo-
tees who. literally in sackcloth and
ashes, seek grace in an unending
round Of pilgrimages."

JUST CASE or BLUFF
PEEP BEHIND SCENES IN WASH.
lNGToN AN EYE-oPENER.
Women Are the Worst Buffers Of Al
When They Get to the Ma
tionaI Capital They Want to
Be 4ln Society"

Everybody in Washington pretends
he is on the most intimate terms with
somebody just little bit higher In
society, and nearly everybody has to
run in debt to keep up the bluff, At
the top of the social scale is the dip
lomatic corps, who are supposed never
to have to worry about money, and
who spend all their time talking to
pretty women and giving dinners.
Bless your simple little heart, If you
could only look behind the scenes and
see some of the diplomatic bluffs 1t
would open your eyes! The diplomats
all bluff each other, and each minister
tries to make all the others believe
that he is the one man whom the pres
ident really likes. And there are very
few of them that don't economic
when society isn't looking. And hash
is hash whether in an embassy or a
$5-a-week boarding house.
It is the women who are the great
est buffers in Washington, because
they are all crazy to be in society.
and most of them have nothing to do
but to amuse themselves. They come
to Washington thinking that, because
their husbands are congressman or
government officials, the presidents
wife is going to chum with them and
diplomats win ask them to dinner
two or three times week. And
when they have been in Washington a
week or two, and find out that they
are very small toads In very big
puddle, they begin to bluff. They make
the other people at the boarding house
sit up and take notice when they talk
about dinner at the White House and
tea at the embassy, which they know
about as well as most people in
Washington do, strictly from the out
side, for the upper ten know only peo-
pie who have been properly present
ed" to them, and don't waste their
time on the boarding house crowd.
And SO 1t goes up and down the
scale. Society in Washington is like
pousse cafe. where each ingredient is
in compartment by itself. The con-
gresham who lives on his salary
isn't In 1t with the congressman who
married rich wife and has big
house. The senator is higher than
the congressman, but, unless he has
money, he doesn't count for much.
The member Of the cabinet is way up,
and he can work the bluff best of all.
for everybody has to be good to him,
and there are any number of people
who would be only too glad to pay his
rent If he would agree to invite them
to dinner once week. Smart Set.

LUCKY NUMBER OF AGE
SUPERSTITION NOT CONFINED
TO ANY ONE LAND.
Each Of the Dislts Has Long Been in
vested With Mystical Qualities
Which Even Free Thinking
People Still Recognize.


The number is esteemed as very
lucky by the Japanese, who allot but
one day to each of the several opera
tons of husbandry, leaving that por-
ton of the crop that could not be
gathered in one day.
The second digit acquired an espe-
c5ally evil reputation among the early
Christians because the second day
hell was created, along with heaven
and earth. 1t also seems to have been
number unlucky in English dynas-
ties. Harold II. was slain In battle,
William II. and Edward II. were muir
dered, Ethelred H., Richard II. and
James II. were forced to abdicate,
and Henry H., Charles II. and George
II. were unfortunate in many ways.
Little mystery was attached to the
numbers and S. In folk lore the
four-leaved clover is considered es-
pecially lucky.
The Cabalists asserted that the
number was potent in mystical prop
critics. The world was created in six
days, the Jewish servant served six
years.
The number has been invested
with more mystery than all the other
digits put together, and to 1t were
ascribed magic and mystical qualities
possessed by no other number. Sew
erai learned treatises have been writ
ten on this number, and septenary
combinations have been sought every
where. The seven days of creation
led to u septenary division Of time to
all ages. Several of the Jewish feasts
lasted seven days. Elisha sent Naa-
man to work In the Jordan seven
times, and Elijah sent his servant
from Mt. Carmel seven times to look
for rain. For seven days seven priests
with seven trumpets invested Jericho,
and on the seventh day they encom-
passed it seven times.
There were nine earths, according
to medieval cosmogony; nine heavens,
nine rivers of hell and nine orders of
angels. The number being perfec-
ton, since it represented divinity, was
often used to signify great guam
tity, as in the phrases, "a nine days
wonder" "a cat has nine lives" and
mine tailors make man." In Scot
land, a distempered COW was cured by
washing her in nine surfs. To see
nine magpies is considered extremely
lucky. Nine knots made in black
wooden thread served as charm in
the case of sprain 1t was also be-
lieved, and Is still by some that if a
servant girl finds nine green peas in
one pod and lays them on the window
sill, the first man that enters will be
her beau. Nine grains of wheat laid
on a four-leaved clover enables one, it
is said, to see the fairies.

Finding Mummies in Mexico.

Mummified remains of persons who
existed hundreds of years ago have
been dug up in the work of excavating
that has been going on in the old
catacombs of Guanajuato, Mexico.
The people whose bodies were discov-
cred must have lived long before the
settlement Of the republic, and the
finds have occasioned much interest
among scientific men. Some of the
bodies were decked with beads and
ivory trinkets that we're in vogue be-
fore the coming of the Spaniards, so
these people must have lived in that
part of the country many centuries
ago. The mummies were discovered
under an old cemetery while exca-
vations were being made by some
prospecting miners.
