The RaIahs Of Rustsr.

The rajahs Of Bustar are hybr.3
naJputs, claiming to be of the family
Of the moon, and have reigned u Bus
tar for between Ave and six hundred
years. The family bears the name Of
Rathputty, and every year the rajah
has to sit on the rath at the festival Of
the Dusseerah wearing the jewels Of
the goddess Dunteshwarre, the tutelary
goddess Of the state, which are brought
from Dantawara temple for the pur-
pose.
Save for the jewels he is clad only
in wreaths of flowers" says a writer
in the Wide World, land when we
saw him he looked very solemn-al-
most ashamed of himself-as he passed
US.
"In connection with this ceremony
there used to be brutal custom Of
dragging the rath, a huge sort of Jug
gernaut car weighing many tons, over
the bodies Of live buffaloes, often only
partly killing them.
This horrible practice was stopped
by British officials"

A Famous Vine.

In the Cumberland Lodge portion of
the royal gardens at Windsor there Is a
vine, known all over England as the
Cumberland Lodge vine, which Is a
shoot Of a still older vine which grows
at Hampton Court, but the shoot has
far Outdistanced its parent in dimen-
sions and productveness. In England
grapes are generally grown under
glass, and the Cumberland Lodge vine
has a great glass structure, 120 feet
long by 20 wide, all to itself. Growing
with astonishing luxuriance, the vine
spreads itself over roof area of 2,400
square feet and bears annually a crop
Of approximately a thousand huge
punches of the finest favored grapes.
These grapes are frequently found on
the royal table, and the subject who is
presented with a basket Of them con-
siders himself highly favored. The
shoot from which the great vine has
grown was planted in 1775.

Scott RslIes at Abbotsford,

The present estate of Abbotsford was
formed during the years 1911 to 1917
from various small farms, the FIRST

Kindly Eruika.

The expression in the prayer book

most persons no definite meaning on
account Of the difference in signin-
canoe now attached to the word kind

was first written. The word kindly in
that connection meant as nearly as
possible "of its kind" and the express

Wan missionaries in Labrador is to
make the Old Testament, with its
wealth Of pastoral detail, Ineligible
to the Esklmos, not one of whom has
ever seen a horse. sheep and cattle"
says Hesketh Pritchard in Hunting
Camps In Wood and Wilderness"
they cannot realize or conceive of,
for there are no domesticated animals
save dogs In that portion Of the PENN

Esau, the hunter, and that of Samson
and the lion, which animal can be
translated as polar bear, but Of Abra-
ham in the land Of Mesopotamia they
can form no picture. The nearest APP
proach to these IDEAS Is drawn from
the harvest Of the sea, seals and fish

Few people who know mistletoe only

mistletoe once begins to grow upon a
tree before the tree itself will be
killed. The parasite saps the life ut
the infected branches. Fortunately 1t
