to meals by priests. Just why this par ticular bend of this special river shcSld be so signally set apart Is not known. but as these priests are Buddhists there is perhaps a connection between this fa- voritism and the fact that in every land where Buddhism is the faith. there are certain places dedicated to Buddlha, and strange superstitions woven about ths place.
 These fish are e species of catfish. which grow to a large size and they swim to the bank when called. The priests not only feed the fish, but they pet them as We do dog or cat. Some are so tame they do not even squirm In fright when they are picked cut of the water and gently handled. In a book written about 1850. Captain Yule, one of mission sent by the British to upper Burma. then an Independent state. but now under British protection. mention ie made of the curious facts concerning these fish. How many years before Cap tain Yule visited this bend in the Irrz- waddy river these fish or their ancestors were protected there Is no means of knowing. It is likely they have been thus favored for hundreds of years. They will still be thus favored so long as Buddhism is the religion of the Burmans. Detroit News.

Afghan Abstemious

The average Afghan has no particular fondness for wine or spirits.
 Tobacco raised in the land Is inferior in quality; the better sorts are s7n- ported from Persia, Russia, India and Egypt. Amir Habibullah Khan always had a good private stock of Havana ci- gars. Both young and old people take snuff
 Tea sweetened and unsweetened. Is the favorite drink. ( Id is consumed in pro- digious quantities. When you go to see an Afghan you can hardly escape before swallowing four or fihe cups of tea. It is. therefore. no trihing gastronomic feat to pay several visits in one afternoon more so if the polite host (with a view of honoring the European guests), has tht tea served in big Russian glasses.
 The right hand is always used ir eating and drinking. the left hand being considered unclean.
 Dogs, though numerous and useful are looked upon as unclean, and pious per. sons never touch them.
 Animals that go badly lame on tn, march or camels that get snowbound ir the mountain passes are abandoned [, their fate. Afghansn never kill such an. imals, as we might do to put them out o their misery. They believe that the live of all living things are in the hands O Allah. and that man sins if he presumei to interfere with the Supreme will. Al ghans will not even will feas or othe vermin. They merely pick them off ant throw them away.-National Magazine

PUBLIC MEETING TO SET
 TIME FOR NORWICH

Real daylight saving through moving time pieces ahead one hour by com mon consent instead of the early rising idea. will prevail in New London be- ginning April 24. A unanimous vote. at a conference held there last week favored going ahead. Represented among the 50 at the meeting were business organ izations. the Manufacturers association. the New Haven railroad. the automobile dealers association and other organiza- tiops and interests. Petitions signed by hundreds favoring daylight saving were presented, and carried great weight in in- iuencing the decision that was reached The public Is called upon to advance clocks voluntarily on the 24th and 1t is expected that the whole city will fall in line
 It is stated that in Norwich a public meeting is soon to be called to see what action the citizens generally want to take. By a canvass of the factories and stores 1t has been learned that the en- ployes generally want to 20 on daylight saving time by having the clocks moved Nhead and the, banks are to go on fsy- light saving time but without moving the clocks ahead.
 Mayor H. M. Lerou and Corporation Counsel Edwin W. Higgins have decid. ed that the city cannot change the ruu. nicipal time pieces, such as the clock in the town hall tower and others under their Jurisdiction. but the public meet. ing VIII decide what the people want tC do about their time.
 If the people decide to move tbei, clocks ahead they will soon become uset to adding one vi6r- stroke to the town halls bell every time 1t strikes. fl the, rely upon that to regulate their tint for the day.

'sIotherIng" Sunday.

Though many ancient customs arc rsp- idly disappearing from the England of today and giving place to the ways Of more modern people, several old and quaint usages of the Lenten period are still handed down from generation to generation. Among theso is mid-Lent Sunday. known in tho more remote coun- try villages of old England as Mother ing Sunday"
 It is still kept as a kind of festival day in many parts of the kingdom The term "Mothering Sunday arose from the old country custom of allowing the lads and lassies in service away from home to take the day off in order that they might be able to visit their mothers. It was the custom for such young people to carry a cake as a present to mother, al- though nowadays the present usually takes the form of some inexpensive pur- chased article of no particular signih- canoe To that extent the day has lost one of its charms.
 In Shropshire. however, not only do shey still take the simnel cake. as Is known. b1rt also the first violets of the year. which gives rise to the local gay Ing. "who goes amothering finds violets in the lane."-Detroit News.
