Interpretation Of Pain.

Pain has been explained as an ac-
compartment OF the Promethean spirit
Of life. which, In perceptible haste TO
proceed upon its journey, takes the
most ready and efiicacious path on
ward, Needless OF what II breaks and
brushes on the way. But pain Is
rather an impulse within the spirit of
life Pain is its conscience urging 1t
on. Unless we were pricked on by
pain we should wish to stand still, con-
tent with our own satisfaction. meanly
Indifferent to higher pleasures; with
out pain life might have been con-
tent TO house itself In low animal
form and wallow In bestiality, ease
and lust. II may be that the onward
progress might have been accom-
plished without pain, we might have
been whirled upward, insensible satel-
lites. toward the universal goal. But
We have received the privilege of con-
sciously sharing in the upward Jour-
ney. Each onward movement must be
wrench from the past, each moment
parting. each step an eternal fare
well. These noble Inconsistencies are
tasks imposed by pain.--From the At.

Thorium. an essential constituent Of

cut off, and the Scientific American

that they are now trying to have con-

The ceremony of propitiating the

the printing machinery is annually
performed by the Hindu members of
the Malaga Times printing staff The
usually prosaic machine and com
posing rooms are turned into weird
caverns of mystery, dimly lit by can
dies and oil lamps, and odorous with
the heavy scent of incense and per-
fumes. Every machine is garlanded,
and has placed before 1t an offering
of ''makan." Rice and bananas and
cakes are the portion of each machine,
according to its size and importance;
even the stone" comes in for share
of the gifts.
At the appointed time, braziers, con-
tanning smoking camphor and cocoa
nut oil, are carried round and held
before each machine; whilst the pow
er engine. whose god presumably is
regarded as particularly aggressive
parsonage, is smoked" for a specially
long period.

NOT IN DEMAND AS A PET
West Indian opossum Has Few Good
Qualities That Recommend Him to
Liking of Humanity.

Although not exactly suitable as a
pet, the West Indian opossum is a
very interesting little animal.
Unlike most wild things, it prefers
the neighborhood of man, and is a
perfect pest to the planter, especially
If he keeps poultry.
Imagine a rat as large as rabbit,
have its picture.
1t robs the fowl houses, steals ripe
fruit from the trees, eggs from the
nest, and fish from the pond. It is sell
dom seen during the day, as its sight
is weak and it dislikes sunlight. "A
starry night for ramble" is the pos
sums motto. and he doesn't go home
till morning. Mrs. Opossum produces
ten or a dozen young ones at birth,
and hides them away in a warm pouch
like kangaroo.
Queer little naked blind things they
are, SO that were it not for the ma
ternal pouch they would not succeed
long in the struggle for life.
Grown a little older, they are some
times taken for walk on their moth
ers back, and it is a funny sight to
see the little fellows all clinging for
dear life to mammals tail.
The negro dearly loves 'possum
hunt. and c ramble with Sambo and
two or three dogs generally produces
sport The 'possum ordinarily takes
TO tree and tries to hide himself be-
hind the trunk, but the darby gets him
gainst de moon," as he calls it
that is to say, his form shows up
against the moonlight-an a charge
OF No. s soon brings him down.
Care must be taken in handling him,
as Mr.. 'Possum is apt to pretend to
be dead when he is really very much
alive, and you may get a sharp bite if
you pick him up.-Pennsylyania Grit.
