Sacred Threads.

The sacred thread of the Brahmans
is we'll known. 1t is a caste distinction
assumed at an early age and never
parted with. 1t must be made by a
Brahman and should consist OF three
strands. each OF a different color, for
ty-eight yards in length. doubled and
twisted together twice, the ends tied
in knots. 1t must be worn next the
skin, over the left shoulder. hanging
down to the thigh on the right side.
The three castles of the Hindus are
distinguished by the material of these
threads-cOtton for the Brahmans.
hemp for the warriors and wool for
the artisans The Parsees also wear
the sacred thread, and boys of seven or
nine are invested with it, the threads
used being made always OF fibers of
the Suru tree. Monier Williams de
scribes the sacred girdle of the Par
sees as made of seventy-two wooden
threads, forming fat band. which is
twined three times around the body
and tied in two peculiar knots. the
secret OF which is known only to the
Parsees.

ers, last night passed this resolution
as an Endorsement of John c. Hard
ing:
Whereas, John c. Harding, Or
ganizer of Chicago Typographical
Union No. 16, and a delegate from
said union to the Allied Printing
Trades Council, has throughout his
membership on the Board of Educa-
ton acted in the best interests of
organized labor and the school chill
dreh,, teachers and citizens of Chi
cago; and
Whereas, AS result of his efforts
to introduce a union-made spelling
book into the schools, his action on
the board has been misrepresented
and his motives impugned; and
Whereas, As a further result of
the complications resulting from his
honest efforts in behalf of union
labor, he is now compelled to seek
the protection of the courts in order
to establish his right to a seat on
the Board of Education; and
Whereas, his actions throughout
the present controversy have been
straightforward and in strict accord
with the best interests of the school
children and citizens of Chicago;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Allied Print
