SEVERITY IN THIS PENANCe
Hindu Pilgrims Make Long Journeys
With Most Extraordinary Method
Of locomotion.

An extraordinary Indian penlten-
tial pilgrimage takes place every

The penitent throws himself on the
ground at full length, and with a pots
herd or a stone, makes II mark within
reach Of his fingers. Upon getting up
he sets his feet on the mark, repeats
the process. continuing to do this, with
alternate rising and prostration. to the
end of his journey.
The dress worn during the pilgrim
age Is exceedingly scanty. as the pill
grimsge takes place during the hot
test season OF the year. II the journey
Is likely to take two or three days,
the penitent may halt at night for
food and rest, In which case he sets
up some mark to show where he left
the road. and resumes his journey
from that point on the morrow. Only
men are permitted to perform the
penhnce, but women and children are
allowed to accompany them on foot.
supplying them with food and tanning
them with punkahs made OF palm
leaves.
Upon arriving at their goal the peni-
tents present their offerings in money
or kind to the attendant priests, who
utter a few words OF benediction.
Every few years there are deaths from
exhaustion and exposure during the
pilgrimage, but the enthusiasts are
never deterred.-Detroit News.
