SAVED BY PRESENCE OF MIND
Jew outwitted Russian Guard by iml-
tation That Must Have Been
Remarkable.

Aaron Seidentaft is clever fellow,
as you may understand when you learn
how his quick wit recently brought
him safely out of situation Of the
utmost peril. Aaron desired to visit
Russia, but he had no passport. He
said to his friend Mendel:
You have passport; I'll get into
big bag and you shah carry me
across the border II the frontier
guard asks you to put the bag down,
you'll say you can't because there's
glass in it and it will break"
Mendel was obliging. He shouldered
the bag with Seidentaft in it and APP
preached the boundary. The frontier
guard asked what was in the bag and
Mendel answered. Glass" Thereupon
the soldier drew his sword and ran 1t
through the bag. 1t might easily have
gone very hard with Steidentaft If he
had forgotten his role and cried out.
But he didn't. Instead he made a
noise like this: Killing, klang." And
so he got alive into Russia.
He often relates his adventure and
he always adds: when one is labeled
glass, one must behave like glass. -

Devil Driving In india.

In spite OF the reformed councils,
1t is a mistake to imagine that India
has entirely shed the old Adam. Els
pecially in the field of medicine, old
beliefs and superstitions still cling
to the people, and devil driving" is
still fourishing trade. Interesting
instances of devil driving are given
In the Indian Medical Gazette. One
of these is from an old village of
some Importance mostly inhabited by
merchants and tradesmen about
mile and half on the Chaudanga sub
division. in Nadia" The village dur
ing and after the rains, is hotbed OF
malaria. The villagers decided to drive
away the devil Of malaria. They did
not take advantage OF the medical aid
provided them, but bought instead
pair of donkeys at very high price
with the superstitious belief that the
neighing of these animals would do
away with the evil spirits of malaria.
The donkeys are held as sacred and
are allowed to roam at large through
and around the village. Needless TO
say. malaria still prevails In the village

projection of this kind can be made
much easier than any style OF boxed

1t certainly looks neat and attractive.
This design may be built of any
kind Of material, but 1t probably looks
the best just as the drawing shows
with clap-boards up to the gable ends
and the gables covered with cement
on metal lath and as for color, drab
with pure white trimmings looks es-
pecially well. White trimmings on a
house gives a suggestion of cleanh-
ness inside, Just as a clean white
