Long Custom Has Made Tank Place
Of Pilgrimage for the Faithful
IN india.

A remarkable Indian ceremony Is
the Kumbakonam Mammalian fes-
tival. This feast takes place once a
year, but the Hindu gods are sup
posed to visit the sacred tank on
each twelfth anniversary. It is said
that the god Brahma once requested
silva to collect the essence Of all the
waters in the world.
It is understood that silva sue
ceeded in doing this, placing the
fluid in a pot which he hid away on
the top of mountain. During the
flood this pot foated away from its
position and when the waters sub
sided it rested at a spot some dis
lance away now known as Kumba-
konam.
silva, who happened to be hunting
in the vicinity, saw the pot and
drawing his bow and arrow shot at
IL with disastrous results. The wa
ter rushing out filled a hollow and
this at the present time is the re-
tank. This tank is now a
place of pilgrimage, where during
the festival untold thousands of the
faithful dip themselves in the won
derful water, which is credited with
all sorts of magical attributes

GOOD WORK OF WOMEN.

Although women have only been
admitted to the school boards Of
Wurttemberg for the last two years,
and the women teachers have only
exercised the school suffrage for the
same length of time, they have al
ready improved the school conditions
of that kingdom very considerably.
1t was through their efforts that spe-
cial housekeeping schools were
opened for girls, while the raising Of
the school age and the compulsory
attendance at the evening schools till
the age of eighteen years was reached
may also be accredited to their pres.
ence on the board.

FINDS A CURE FOR cHoLERA7
Using Injections Of BaciIII
to Stop the Plague.

The Paris Matin says that the
physicians at the Pasteur institute
at Tunis have achieved success with
the new prophylactic method Of
treating AsiRtic cholera. Briefly it
consists of injection of tine commas
bacilli found in the fnfertines Of
cholera patients. 1t is Sand that the
blood thereby becomes extremely
rich and renders persons immune
from the contSgion. Three physi-
rians, Nicolle, Coner and CSnseil, ex-
perimented on themselves and also
swallowed the bacilli. DIR. Reux, ID
reporting the matter to the academy
of sciences said that even if the eff.
cacy of the experiments were not
proved they were interesting and de-
served to be followed up.,

HOW FAST THE HORSE WENT
"Lieklty Split" Said the Boy Witness
and the Judge and Jury
Understood.

In the Superior civil court q little
chap was giving testimony in a case
where an express team is alleged to
have knocked down and injured a
boy acquaintance of the witness. The
little chap on the witness stand was
asked how fast the team was going
when he first noticed it. He seemed
a bit puzzled, and the attorney sug-
gested a hearse and a fire engine as
tremes of comparison. The boy said
it was not going as fast as a fire
engine and faster than hearse.
The attorney ventured again to
have the witness state in his opin-
ion just how fast the team was go
ing.
at was going 1ickity split,'" said
the youngster.
From the expression upon the
faces of the judge and the members
of the jury it was evident that they
understood the answer of the witness
thoroughly.-Boston Journal.

CRUEL REALISM.

John G.. Johnson, the famous law.
yer and no less famous art expert,
was talking, at a dinner in Philadel-
phia, about some of Sargent's cru
ely realistic portraits. Sargent
once painted a Philadelphia wom-
an" Mr.. johnson said, "and when
the work was finished, the lady's
coachman called for it. AS the
coachman was studying the portrait,
Sargent said to him: How do you
like it The man answered thought
fully: We'll, sir, We might have
made it little better-lookin'; meb-
be; but if We had, ye'd have spoilt
it,"

COZ INDUSTRY IS GROWING
Newfoundland Has Wonderful Asset
and WIZ BE Great Fish Depot
Of World.

The cod is probably the most pro-
life Of all sea fish, though its habi-
tat does not extend over as large an
area as other species, says the Wide
World. The cod is only found in
northern waters, and will live and
thrive only in certain temperatures.
Some day, owing to the wonderful
asset which Newfoundland possesses
in her cod fishery, she is destined to
be the great fish depot Of the world.
It is not alone on the great BANKS"
many miles off her coasts, that cod
are found in countless millions, but
around the whole island-on the
"ledges" and grounds" off the
capes and promontories that jut into
the Atlantic, as well as on the Lab
rador coast, for a stretch of 1000
miles. In these regions you require
no hatcheries to aid the wonderful
fecundity Of nature; indeed, it is
doubtful if you require any laws or
regulations to protect these fisheries
unless it be in the shoal waters Of
the bay.
Notwithstanding that for 800
years the fisheries of these waters
have been prosecuted by rival fish
ermen of two hemispheres, the larg-
est catch Of cod ever taken on the
Newfoundland and Labrador coasts
was that secured in 1909, the yield
being estimated in weight at 1,S0O,-
600 quintals, or 201,00O,OOO
pounds; to which may be added
100000 quintals-the quantity To-
cally consumed in Newfoundland
during and after the fishing season.
The value of the fish alone, without
any regard to the by-products-oil,
roes, skin, offal, etc.-is $4,000.

Small Girl Gets the Me-sane. With =
Ducklno BY Imaginative
Brother

When President Taft spoke in
Ridgewocd, n. j., one Of the inter-
ested listeners was Foster Sanford.
IT., the ten-year-old son of the Yale
football coach. Fosters smaller sis
ter, Mandy, wanted to go, but she
was told she was too young. She
forgot her disappointment, however,
when her brother returned and told
her that the president had sent her
his love. Taking advantage Of his
Importance, the boy has been steadily
adding to the message from the pres
ident ever since.
A few days ago, shortly after
Mandy had been carefully dressed
for the evening, she went down into
the yard where her brother was
sprinkling the lawn with the garden
hose.
MANDY" said the boy, "the pres
idcnt told me to tell your fortune"
''Did hep" was Mandy's quick re-
ply, with her eyes as big as saucers.
eyes, he told me that before very
long you were going to get wet"
She did not have long to wait.
Running into the house with her
new hair ribbon and what had been
fluffy skirts dripping water, she
screamed:
"And he said the president told
Tim to do it."-New York Evening
Post.

LEIGH A WEATHER PROPHET
Actions Of the Small Insect In Js'
Will Tell You What You
May Expect.

A leech kept in a glass jar of wa
ter is an excellent weather prophet.
The jar should contain about three
gills of water, which should be
changed once a week in summer, ev-
cry ten days In winter.
When the leech lies at the bottom
Of the jar and curled up in spiral
form you may reasonably rely on fine
weather..
If, however, it ereeps UP to the
top of the jar and remains there,
rain is coming.
When the leech darts about its
lodging with great swiftness, it is
not suffering fDom a pain, but is
telling you to- look out for wind.
If hurricane is ON IT'S way the
leech will be more, out of the water
than in and will have convulsive
movements. The jar, by the way,
should be only partially filed with
water, while the top should be COW
ercd with mnslin.
When Jack Frost is going to pay
us visit the leech behaves as when
foretelling, fine weather. e., he lies
at the bottom of the jHr; but when
snow is coming he climbs right up
to the mouth of the jar and sticks
there.
