Trickino Fate.

Every Hindoo must have son to
perform the proper rites in his behalf
50 that he may be released from pur-
gatory after death. says Asia Maya
zine. Especially cursed. therefore, is
he whose fate It is to be soDless. One
such, a Brahlnin, propitiated the god
gishu and obtained boon. He asked
FOR son. but, since a son was not in
the mans fate. yishu refused. Twice
this happened. but the third time the
Brahmin asked that his merriments
might be shared by gods and men
alike. This was granted. He then
went home, locked his door and, with
his wife. began to sing and dance.
Thereupon, all the gods and men. by
the terms of the boon. were compelled
TO sing and dance with him, and the
business of the universe was brought
TO a standstill. Stop" begged the
gods. "0nly when you grant me a
son." answered the Brahmin. And ne
had his way.

shows evidences OF intense study Of
the works of the poet and a mastery

The intense obsession with which
she pursued her theories brought her
life To tragic end Becoming con-
vineed that Shakespeare's secret was

went TO reside there to confirm her re-
searches. She was found one mid
night at the tomb. muttering incoher-
