RELIGIOUS HOAX IN INDIA
People Drink From stagnant Pool
Scented With Stolen Perfume and
Story Spreads Of Spring.

Calcutta.-One of the most extra.
ordinary religious hoaxes ever record
ed even in India has just occurred
In the northern part of Calcutta.
A pool of stagnant water formed
from the accumulation of sewage
from roadside drains suddenly began,
according to the local inhabitants to
emit sweet perfume which had q
lovely lemon flavor. Many people
came, smelt, and were conquered, and
the rumor spread that the pool was
holy and that a new goddess would
soon rise from its waters to redeem
the world
The pool became place of pilgrim
age. Diseased people bathed in it
and drank of it, and those Of uneasy
conscience washed away their sins in
1t. The water was carried away in
jugs and bottles and a brfsk trade
sprangs up under the aegis 81 an astute
young sBengalee III selling the .'holv
water allssnarts of the city at as
much as $50 d Bottle.
News Of the holy perfume came to
the ears of Bose & Co., scent manu-
facturers, who sent connoisseur to
investigate His nose Immediately
provided him with clew to the mys-
ferrous disappearance of several cases
OF essential oils belonging to the firm.
The police found that several broken
bottles of the oils had been thrown
into the pool. This was the explana-
ton of the holy smell
The young Bengalee and carter,
suspected of having stolen the oils.
were arrested.

Joplin, Mo.-A table made up Of

More than score of native and for

entire outside surface being design
colored by bits of varicolored woods,
some Of which were not more than
one-sixteenth of an inch in dimension.
1t has been estimated that at least
100000 pieces were required for the
entire table. This large number is
accounted for by the fact that two
blocks on the top were inlaid with
saWdust, made when other blocks

TO KEEP THE CITY CLEAN
Move Recently Made by people o.
New Britain, Conn, 10 Wei!
Worth Copying.

Recent years have witnessed move,
ments upon the part Of citizens and
officials in many municipalities to sc!
cure better sanitary conditions. The
assemblage Of a large number Of per-
sons in q restricted area inevitably
creates problems involving the health
Of the community and the proper So
luton of which requires constant and
intelligent attention. Civic uplift
should. be both an ideal and a prac-
tice. Among the cities whose citf
zens recently took hold Of this matter
is New Britain, Conn. and commit.
tee there issued series Of recon,
mendations which may we'll commend
themselves to the inhabitants Of other
municipalities. One Of their tracts
was entitled: What you can do I'd
help make New Britain q clean city,
and reads:
Take away all the ashes and dirt
from your back yard Immediately,
Send your rubbish to the dumping
ground
Clean out your cellars, stables and
" AASSW00A yVNA N0AA0A- WsnAAO,
Burn all rubbish that Will burn
Clean your vacant lots and alleywaysl
Avoid mixing ashes and garbage,
This is against the law. You may be
fined I'VE dollars.
Refrain from throwing old papsr,
banana or orange skins into th(
streets.
Plant some grass and flower seeds
to make your home beautiful. Every
house should have little green grass
and a few trees.
When you have cleaned up for Eas'
ter, keep your yard clean all the time,
Dirty yards cause heas, sickness,
death.
Old tin cans hold water: water
breeds mosquitoes.
Rotten garbage makes bad air, bad
air makes weak bodies, weak bodies
make big doctors bills.

CLEARING THE. LAND OF.
WEEDS.

Owing to its early maturity, barley
Is an excellent crop for clearing the
land Of weeds. as it is cut before they
mature seed. After the crop is re-
moved the land can be plowed or
disked. thus destroying the weeds that
are growing in the stubble Further
cultivation will kill any that survive
this treatment or appear later. In the
semi-arid regions this added cultiva-
ton is OF considerable value in con-
serving the moisture for the succeed
Ing crop.
It has been authoritatively esti-
mated that the money loss in small
grains on account of dockage, freight
and other Incidental expenses con-
nected with weed seed, is equivalent
10 2.11 per cent. of their total money
value
On this basis the total money loss to
the farmers of the United States in
small grains alone on account of weeds
Is about $26,5O0,0O0.
This estimate does not include the
loss on account of the nutriment stolen
from the ground or the stunted growth
If the cereal on account of the weeds
present.
Were all these conditions taken into
consideration, with the coarse grains
and grasses induced, the results
would be startling, and our careless.
ness in this respect so apparent as to
awaken action to recover this enor-
nous loss.
The habit Of paying this weed toll
has so accustomed US to the loss that
We are blind to the fact that it is en-
4:irely unnecessary HI II
I Science has made it possible to elm
mate the weeds and grow grain in
their place. The sulphate Of iron proc
ess is a proved success and is entire
y within the reach Of every farmers
pocketbook. ZEE i4s
Make 1t easy to pay taxes by going
into the fields once each year and de-
Jtroying the weeds; the increase in
yield will not only pay taxes, but leave
good margin Of profit in addition.
