The Ancient srahmans.

The Brahmans were the lawyers.
priests. professors. the sole instructed
class. the sole authorities on taste,
morality, the sole depositaries Of what
ever stood in the place Of science. Ev-
erybody was to minister unto them.
everybody to give way to them. The
Bra hman was above the law. He was
mot to be subjected to corporal pun
ishment, must not be imprisoned or
fined or exiled or reviled." In the law
Of the vishnu it was written: 1.-THE
Brahmans sustain the world. 1t Ii by
the favor Of the Brahmans that the
gods reside in heaven" Under Eng
lish rule and ideas the ancient caste
has lost some Of its prestige. but Is still
fOrcible reminder Of its former gran
deur.-New York American

The Home of Armour Jim

The home of the celebrated Shire
Stallion, Armour Jim, is with the
Hamilton Supply company. He is
rated as typical specimen of one of
the most desirable breeds of horses.
His owner, G.. Hamilton, parted with
much money to secure him and he has
demonstrated his merit both as an in
dividual and in the type of colts he has
gotten. His sire, Memento, Eaton
Monk, was the Grand Champion two
years in succession at the London
Horse Show. His good qualities are
inherited and he should get top-notch
specimens.-adv.

An Early Legal Blunder.

Dyeing, or. at any rate. the madden
root used in it. was the subject Of one
of the oldest of England's legislative
blunders. In the reign Of George III.
it was found necessary to regulate the
trade in madden. and accordingly an
act was passed for that purpose. Tests
Of its purity were ordained, and vari-
Gus regulations spread the length Of
the act to over sixty sections. But
when it was finally passed into law it
was found that madden was not once
mentioned by name In It. In fact,
those called upon to administer It had
no official knowledge of what the act
was talking about.-London Telegraph.

BAKED CIGARS.
Before Smoking the English Dry Out
All Spirits and Nicotine.

Before Smoking the English Dry Out
All Spirits and Nicotine.
The English bake their cigars thor
oaghly in the oven until all Of the mois-
ture and nicotine are dried out As is
well known. they have the pick OF the
tobacco crop over there. and what they
apply to the best of cigars might well
be administered to those Of inferior
quality which are smoked in America.
Here is what every smoker should
do: First, loosen the cigars In the box
and let them stand on or near stove
or radiator until absolutely dry.
A moment before smoking wash the
cigar In water on the outside and
dampen well the wrapper. This may
be done at the table by holding the CT
gar by the tip in glass Of drinking
water. taking care not to wet the filler.
Then wipe the tip end before cutting it
of on the napkin. Water revives the
leaf and restores its natural flavor.
What you have previously dried out
in the oven Is not water moisture. 1t
is the bay rum and other spirits which
are frequently sprinkled over the CT
gars after boxing to keep them looking
fresh. Both the wholesaler and the re-
taller often sprinkle them again before
showing them to customers. 1t is these
spirits that impart such strong odor
to clothes in which cigars are carried.
Drying and washing afterward will
make for better smoke, to say moth
ing Of better health. in cases where
very cheap spirits have been used on
the cigars.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

lronwork In India.

India was the first country which
turned iron into weapons. Persia Dor
rowed the art from India. The Rig
veda, which is the oldest record in the
world, gives evidence of this. So do
also the Astras and .Sastras of the
Dhanurneda, and during the early part
of the Christian era the Indian blade
was the most used throughout the east
ern and western world. This art reach
ed its greatest perfection in northern
India. the Punjab. Nepaul, Rajputana,
Gujarat and other provinces. where
they still make beautiful arms.

WOMAN'S DAY PLANNED
FOR 4TH CELEBRATION
Will Be Discussed at Prelimin-
ary Meeting Next Wednesday
Night.

call for n preliminary meeting Of tn,
Cftlzens' Committee to discuss plans fol
the national Fourth of July celebration
IN this city was sent out today by j. f,
Neill. The meeting will be held next
"wednesday night at the Hotel Adelphia.
Representatives of various business civic
and Improvement organizations have beer
Invited to attend, and general co-opera-
tion has been assured to make the EVEN
ING LEpoER's suggestion for the country
wide celebration of the Fourth here a
success
At the conference In the Adelphia ar
meeting, TO which every delegate of every
progressive organization in the city will
be invited. Mr.. Neill expressed the hope
today that the womens organizations of
the city would cooperate. The Daughters
of the Revolution, Daughters of the Con-
fedcracy. the Civic Club. Equal Suffrage
organizations and many others will be
asked to lend their aid.
As the women of the country have
played decidedly important part In its
progress, II Is proposed by many MEM
bers OF the Citizens Committee that they
have conspicuous part in the cerc-
monies which will commemorate the ma
TONS birthday and the 5Oth anniversary
OF the closing OF the Civil War.
In keeping with the spirit of the City
OF Brotherly Love, the women of Phia-
delphia win be asked to act as hostesses
: to the wives of the Governors and other
distinguished guests who have been in
vited. II is highly probable, too, that the
committee will arrange woman's day
in connection with the dual celebration.
Several prominent members of the COM
mittee have pointed out that inasmuch as
the women of the country have from its
very beginning proved themselves TO be
loyal patriots, self-sacrifcing and ready
TO help In all movements for general bet
terment of the country, there should be
a day set aside during which they would
have full charge of the ceremonies.
Such plan would afford all the wom-
ems organizations an opportunity to talk
TO the entire country at it's birthplace, in
independence Hall, and arrange a pro-
gram which would enable them to reap
beneficial results.
