Hindu Juuulinq.

The Hindu juggiers and acrobats are
the most skillfuI In the world One Of
the latest stories told of them Is about
a performer who went through many
wonderful feats percbed on The top OF
a single bamboo stick about fifteen
feet In height. The TOP OF the stick
was tied 10 girdle around bis waist
and leg rest was provided by cush-
ion few feet down the pole. Perch
cd on this slender stick he hopped aud
danced about In the liveliest way. nc.
companied by the tapping Of o drum
1t would be considered skillful feat
to walk about with ease on a pair o;
stills fifteen feet In height. but this
Hindu showed marvellous power OF
equilibrium on single stick. He did
other things even more wonderful. Fol
example. he balanced a light stick Oh
his nose and heavy one on bis CHR
and then threw the heavy one into thu
mir with bis head and caught ii on ths
end OF a light one. While balsncint
the two sticks thus, end on end. d,
made one revolve In one direction nc
the other In the opposite direction.

what Is the difference. IL any. be
tween "gre." and gray" aside from
the matter Of spelling? @
The editor OF the Oxford Dictionary
some years ago made extended inquiry
as TO usage and found that opinions n
London varied Replies 10 his ques
tons showed that In Great Britain the
form grey IL the more frequent In nse
despite the authority Of DR.. johnson
and later photographers, who give thu
preference to gray. Many correspond
ents said that they used the two forms
with n difference Of meaning or appli
cation. the distinction most generally
recognized being that grey denotes q
more delicate or lighter tint than gray
Others considered the difference to hs
that gray is warmer color or thar Il
has mixture Of red or brown An
other group held that grey has more q
sentiment, gray more OF color. which
may mean that grey is a. suggestion
rather than positive outline.--New

feel his pulse beat and throb when by
chance there was any contact even
of the casual between them. Some
times he had asked her strange ques-
tons which she had put by, and some
times she caught him looking at her
in strange ways that sent the blood to
her skin, and sometimes turned her
pale. Yet she lived in the FOOLS para
disc. She did not awake to the posi-
bilities of that which she had made
him because her apprehension of him
had not kept pace with his apprehen-

some degree the creature that he had
been and sometimes she thought upon
her growing love for him with a feel
ing of shame as If 1t were a conde-
scension, a derogation.
She did not know what blood was
leaping in the veins of the man and
how he taught himself, because she
had instilled in him honor and de-
eency and Christlike self control, to
repress these things. She did not
know how much faster he had learned
certain things than she had intended.
She did not know how instinctively
he had leaped to conclusions which
she imagined were still latent in his
mind. This was a good man, this
was an honest II /, this was a gen

There was no question about his faith
1t was as simple and abiding as 1t was
sincere. The early Christians who
had been brought in personal touch
with the Master and his men were
not more faithful, acceptant and de
