lNDlA'S QUEER BELIEFS.
Buddhists Would Die Rather Than
 Lose a Limb or Eat Meat.

Buddhists Would Die Rather Than Lose a Limb or Eat Meat. India's populati tion is 325, 100000. Prac- tically all the races and religions of the
 world are represented. Ninety eight and six -tenths per cent of the people
 cannot read or write. Four per cent
 of the inhabitants eat regular meals.
 The remainder eat when they can and
 where they can. The average native
 in India lives on less food per diem than any other human being in the world. Religious prejudices are in tense. Men willingly die rather than
 submit to some dismembering surgical
 operation, for did not Allah command them to appear before hina as they left
 him to come into the world?
 The Buddhists will not eat meat or take even a medicine derived from an
 animal. They died by millions during the bubOnic plague rather than take a
 prophylactic serum made from pepsin | and beef broth-because the pig from
 which pepsin was obtained was un-
 clean to the Mohammedan and Hindu,
 and the killing of this animal and the | bull from which the broth was made
 was against the tenets of the Bud dhistic faith. I knew an editor in
 Poona, India, to absolutely refuse a 5000 yearly advertisement of patent
 medicine because it contained pepsin. Indians are fond of sweets and last year imported over $4O.OOOOOO worth
 of sugar. Clothing is made chiefly | from cotton, which is largely grown i'll

A Famous Statue.

The great temple of Zeus Olympius at Olympia. Greece. was 354 feet long and III wide. The columns of this ia. nous shrine were sixty feet in height and six and a half feet in diameter and are the largest which now remain of ancient architecture in marble Sixteen of the wonderful columns are still standing and are among the most i'm posing in the world. In this temple stood the colossal statue of Zeus, forty feet high, on pedestal of twenty. This statue was the masterpiece of Phidias, the worlds greatest artist, and so famous was 1t that 1t was consider cd calamity to die without seeing it. The immortal work was removed to Constantinople by Theodosius I. and was destroyed by fire in the year 475 A. D.

Tho First Telegraph Line.

After the formal opening of the first telegraph line built for commercial purposes between Washington and Bal. timore Professor Morse and his asso- ciates offered to sell the invention to the United States government for $1OO,OOO but the price was considered too high. The government had appropriated $3O,. GOO toward the construction of the Washington-Baltimore line. but after a short period of operation the postmas- ter general. to whom President Polk had referred the matter, wrote, Al though the invention is an agent vastly superior to any other devised by the genius of man, yet the operation be- tween Washington and Baltimore has not satisfied me that under any rate of postage that can be adopted its reve- nues can be made to cover its expendi- tures."

The Sound of 8hrapnei.

Have you eveS.heard shrapnel by any chance? No? We'll, it sounds as much as anything else like a winter gale bowling through the branches of pine tree. It is a moan, a groan, a shriek and a vail rolled into one, and when the explosion comes it sounds as though some one had touched off a stick of dynamite under a grand piano. and 1t is not particularly cheering to know that the ones you hear do not harm you and that it Is the ones you do not have time to hear that send you to the cemetery.--E. Alexander Powell in Scribner's.

Lincoln's Eees,

As a rule, Abraham Lincoln's fees were less than those of other lawyers of his circuit. Justice Davis once re- monstrated with him and insisted that he was doing a grave injustice to his associates at the bar by charging so little for his services. From 1850 to 1860 his income varied from $2,0O0 to 5000. and even when he was recog- nized as one of the ablest lawyers of the state his fee book frequently shows charges of $3, $5 and $1 for advice. al though he never went into court for less than $10. During that period he was at the height of his power and popularity, and lawyers of less stand ing and talent charged several times those amounts.-"The True Abraham Lincoln"

which the presence of tubercular ten
