Thugs of India.

Among the countless varieties Of
criminal which infest the large cities
you are doubtless familiar with the
one commonly designated by the name
thug" a ruffian who would stab a
person In the back for a few cents.
The name thug" is derived from the
old religious order that f1ourished In
India unmolested up to about 1886.
Thuggee was practiced by religious
fanatics, whose creed prohibited the
shedding of blood. Any human s0cri-
fee which might be offered to the god
dess Kali must be slain without the
breaking Of the skin or the appearance
Of one bloodstain. Usually the thugs
masqueraded as pilgrims or peddlers,
got the confidence Of their victims and
then strangled them by means Of
rope, a handkerchief or an unwound
turban. They were then buried In
shallow graves, dug with a consecrat-
ed pickax, and a third Of the plumber
was laid on the altar Of Kali, their
barbaric deity.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

Nickel In Soapmakino.

1t will probably be news to the aver
age ablutionist that the metal nickel
Is used in making his soap. And fur
ther, perhaps, he will be glad to learn
that although the nickel, finely ground,
Is mixed with the other soap ingredi-
ents the finished product contains
none of it. This is so because the
nickel acts as what the chemists call
a catalyst-that is, its presence causes
certain desirable changes to occur, al
though it takes no part in the chemi-
cal reaction. Offensive oils and those
too thin for satisfactory use when
mixed with finely divided nickel and
subjected to the action Of q current
Of hydrogen become deodorized and
harder and suitable for the soapmak-
ers use. Cottonseed oil, for example,
after the nickel-hydrogen treatment,
makes a satisfactory soap.-Pittsburgh

The Penetrating Stare.

Can a stare he felt? A woman who
has conducted many experiments says
1t can, that mo matter how deep her
absorption, the stare at her back will
always disturb her. All girls feel a
stare" DR.. COover, "a psychologist"
says stare is not felt and that he
has tested it thousand times. 1t Is
probably all imagination on the part
u the woman, for 1t is easy In such
eases for what one imagines to be-
come real to her. Where she passes a
man, and he stares at her, she can
doubtless feel that stare block away,
for 1t will take awhile for the impress
Ion Of stare to pass away. Stares
are no doubt u great annoyance to wo-
men, but there is no way to prohibit
them. The only way to do to abolish
the stare Is for women to dress simply
and go modestly about their business.

Races Within Races In the Balkans,

Language and religion are not the
only basis of the intense subdivision of
feeling in the Balkans. The whole re-
gion is parceled out among race frac-
tons, some Of which are no larger than
a hamlet. Roumanians, Bulgarians,
Servians and Greeks have a sharp con-
seriousness Of race persistence, and at
the same time every state is intent
upon breaking up the race units Of 9TH
er peoples which exist within its Dor
ders. If Greece were peopled only by
Greeks and Bulgaria by Bulgarians
and Servia by Servians. the task would
be easier. 1t is curse to the peninsula
that the villagers have pushed this
way and that wherever there was va
cant land or wherever they could make
q vacancy by driving out the previous
holders. The result Is the creation Of
race islands in the midst Of angry race
seas.-Albert Bushnell Hart in Outlook.
