Sacred Deer.

From time immemorial deer have
been held in reyerent regard by the
Japanese. Herds are kept in COM
pounds, and the highest respect Is
paid to the animals. In olden times
the shotgun gave the people such a
strict order TO protect the sacred ami
mails that If any one happened to hurt
or kill them he was put to death on
the spot 1t was a period of terror.
Even at the present day the deer are
so tame and abundant in the Shrine
grounds that they in fine weather stroll
round to the streets by twos and threes
and surround passersby, asking for
food and even taking the persons
sleeves in their mouths .affectionately.
Once year some of the deer are
caught by means of net with han
die by several tanners lin service of
the Kasuga shrine Office and taken to
an inclosure, where their splendid
horns are cut off with saw, while
crowd OF spectators watch the work
with breathless interest admission 10
sen, equal to about ) cents. This
DONE some of the sacred horns are, as
a custom, awarded to the spectators
by means of lottery.

SITTING Cross Leqqed.

Fully SO per cent of the men and
women who travel in the trains and
street ears sit cross legged, and this
habit is responsible for many ills nc
cording to prominent London physi-
clan The prime objection against this
habit. he says, is that the return flow
of blood from the leg is stopped at
the knee. the result being that the
veins in the leg swell up. All the
weight is thrown on one side of the
body. and the under leg goes to sleep
owing Ia the pressure put on tile sci
ate nerve The body should be equal
Is balanced Then there is another
danger. Too much crossing of the legs
is sure TO bring lopsidedness. Let the
legs rest Imply. In that way the mus
Giles become eased. while the flow into
and the return of blood from the less
is naturally done and the body Is
equally balanced.

BENNINGTON, VT, JAN. 7, 1913.

Ethan Allen Weaver, who lives at
PSI Harvey St., Germantown, Penn,
is trying to get hold of survivors Of
a fraternity known as the |. A. k,
which was founded in Vermont some
time in the late fifties or early sixties
but has since died out. 1t was either
started as, or became a college fra
ternity and had chapters in various
parts of the country. Mr.. Weaver is
locking the matter up for historical
purposes and anybody who knows
about the organization is in
vited to write to Mr.. Weaver.

There is a bill pending in congress
which would take assistant postmas-
tiers out of the classified service and
open up the places to the spoils sys-
TEN. The record of the present con
gress and the present administration
is rather bad in its reversion to the
spoils system, due to the tremendous
pressure for places by Democratic
politicians who want places for them
selves and their friends 1t is natur-
al that after they have been out of
power for so long, but ii would setm
as though the assistant postmasters
ought to be let alone. 1t, is on this
office that the great mass of postof-
fee detail falls. It should not be in
politics as 1t is a technical position
and not highly enough paid to be any
great plum. Here in Bennington a
Democrat has remained in the office
of assistant postmaster during the Is
years that the Republicans have been
in power so that the new bill Is of no
particular local interest, but for the
benefit of substantial service there is
every reason why the office of assis-
tant postmaster should be kept outt OF
politics.

Ancie Mt Egyptians.

That the ancient Egyptians were not
negroes is certain, and it is equally
certain that they did not belong to the
Semitic or Jewish race Said the late
Professor Huxley: Il am not aware
that there are any living people who
resemble them, except the Dravidan
tribes of central India and the Austria
lians. and ] have long been inclined
to think that the latter are the lowest
and the Egyptians the highest mem
bers of race of mankind Of great
antiquity, distinct alike from Aryan
and Turanian on the one side and
from negro and negrite on the other"
In word. nobody can say with any
degree of assurance what breed of
men the builders of the pyramids
were.-New York American
