HIGHLY COLORED HILARITY.
Queer Kind of Fun That Goes With
One Hindu Festival.

The "HoH Festival" as celebrated
annually by the maharaja of Patiala.
India. is described by Charles Ber-
tram in his volume. "A Magician In
Many Lands" Mr. Bertram writes:
EARLY in the morning went to the
club. where | found many Of the
guests, who were taking part In the
ceremony for the first time. I've were
provided with complete new suit Of
Hindu garments, and our dressing

Next Sunday the Rev. DR.. EdbroOke
of Grace Church of New Orleans will
hold a memorial service at 1880 p. m.
for the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men. These services will be held in
several other different churches.
1t has been stated, but not authori-
tatively, that Mt Olivet Church will
soon have a minister who is already
connected with one of the churches OF
New Orleans. 1t was whispered about
some time ago that Rev. Sidney l..
Vail, one of our townsmen, had been
given a call to become the minister of
Mt. Olivet Church. This call going out
to Mr.. Vail is certainly credit to him
and an acknowledgment of his own
people of his fitness to lead them in a
spiritual way. We are convinced, how
ever that Mr.. Vail will not accept the
call at the present. However, there is
no authority for the above, but this
has been the talk among the members
who seem to know about the proceed
ings of the vestry of the church.

ATMOSPHERIC CHANGES.
What Il Means In Air Pressure When
the Barometer Falls.

It is not an uncommon thing at GER
tain seasons Of the year for the ba-
rometer to shift an inch within TWEEN
ty-four hours. Sometimes the change
Is even greater. Few persons have
any idea what tremendous changes in
the atmosphere are indicated by such
O rise or fall in the mercury column.
A cubic inch OF mercury weighs half
q pound. When the mercury falls an
inch a weight Of one ton is removed
from every 1900 square inches Of
surface. This is a ton for every area
Eve and a quarter feet square. II
your house, for instance, is % by 40
feet, with an area OF 1000 square feet,
a load Of about thirty six tons Is lift
ed from the roof every time the ba-
rometer shows an inch fall-that is. a
thirty -six ton load would be lifted if
the house were air tight. But as air
presses in every direction there is as
much of a push upward against the
roof from below as there is Of Il push
downward from above. So the roof
actually feels no effect from the re-
moval Of this heavy load.
In the same way man Of average
size would be relieved of a weight Of
about a ton and a half II there were
no air chambers in the human body.
1t has been figured that fall of an
inch in the barometer over territory
400 miles square removes a weight
from the surface OF the earth OF l60.-
900. 900. 600 tons II this were loaded
on freight cars, twenty tons to the car,
and thirty cars to the train. more than
26O,O0O.OOO trains would be required
to move it If each train were 500 feet
long they would stretch out in line
more than 25,OOO.OOO miles long.
The only noise that accompanies
this great transportation feat is made
by the wind, that does considerable
roaring in the course OF such violent
atmospheric changes. - Kansas City

ADMIRAL SINGER MAY AGAIN COM.
MAND NAVY YARD.
Delegation Willing to Back Local Man
When Station Is Opened.

Dispatches from Washington state
that Admiral Singer, now retired, com
mandant at the New Orleans Navy
Yard when it was an operating part of
the shore section OF the naval estab-
lishment, is in Washington. He has
told his friends and acquaintance that
to see folks and get in touch with the
men he used 10 know much better be-
fore he was placed on the retired list.
The aforementioned friends believe
him. because he has been in the habit
of making such trips 10 Washington,
but they also know that the Admiral
would be pleased TO break out his pen;
nant for active duty, preferably in New
Orleans, where he lives. They have
known of such things as retired Off
GERS standing around where the Secre-
tary of the Navy could see them and
note how fit they look for active duty.
Knowing such things they have s7ls-
piciOn that Admiral Singer would smile
and smile and smile again if Lord High
Admiral and First Lord of the Admir-
atty Daniels should order him to New
Orleans as cOmmandant of a re-estab-
lshed and working naval station in
New Orleans.
Bluntly stated, they have a conyiC-
ton that while he is there Admiral Sin
ger will do whatever is possible TO pro-
cure active duty as commandant at
New Orleans, and the Louisiana dele
cation is willing he should have all the
honors he might garner if he could but
persuade Secretary Daniels to issue
necessary orders.

tive Dupre lately called at the State
Department to urge the appointment

RENECKY SELLS THE FAMOUS
BUSTER BROWN SHOES FOR THE
CHILDREN.
A Sculptor's First Job.

The story Of Naoum Aronson's first
commission reads like a romance, says
writer In Worlds Work concerning
the Russian sculptor. He had gone
short Of food and worked necessarily
in his scanty leisure so that he might
lend a bust to the salon, and II had
heen accepted. One morning. faint
from want of proper nourishment, he
turned giddy on the stairs, fell down
the flight and knocked himself sense
less, and there he was found uncon-
Eious by his first patron, a gentleman
who had noticed his work in the salon
AID called to commission bust. From
that moment Aronson never looked
buck.

Roman emperors who Toasted CO.

Green Sunsets.

Green sunsets seen by the Russian
explorers in the polar regions have
been matched in England. Through
out November and December Of 1888
the sunsets and afterglows were of
wonderful intensity and varied colors.
At Chelsea especially the sun went
dowa over the Thames amid a blaze
OF anearthly beauty ranging from
deepest red to green, as may be seen
in a series of water color sketches
made at the time and now preserved
in tie Chelsea free library. Sir Nor
man Lockyer and other astronomers
attributed these winter sunsets to the
volcanic dust projected by the great
eruption Of Krakatoa, in Java, in the
previous August.

A New Yorker who had planned a

and fretted without avail on the morn

made such slow progress in getting

protesting that there was no occasion
for hurry. as they had plenty of time.

Sunday sermons were good. Rev.

On Tuesday night, June 9th, the last
regular monthly business and social
meeting of the Cleaners was held at
the home of Mrs. ]. A. Garland in Pei
lean avenue.
Despite the warm weather there was
large attendance and judging from
the lateness of the hour for departure
every one was glad she was there.
The parlors we're beautifully deco
rated with cut flowers and ferns and
aglow with lights, while an electric
fan added to the comfort of the guests.
After the regular routine of reports,
minutes, ETC., the president called for
an expression from each member pres
ent as to whether she had profited by
being one of the Cleaners. These eX-
pressions were varied and beautiful
and will prove an inspiration to those
who will be called on to carry on the
work of the class next year.
Mrs. Garland, assisted by her daugh-
ter, Miss Sadie, and our everything
entertainment committee, served the
most delicious ice cream and cake,
which in itself reconciled us to the hoe
weather.
Games and contests and music were
enjoyed until late hour and everyone
departed from the charming hostess
with a feeling of reluctancy, for she
had made it a never to be forgotten
occasion.
The Cleaners will discontinue the
social gatherings until the 18th Of Oc-
tober, when they hope to plan for a
very successful winter season.
