But their sumptuous ness does not prevent the richest rajah who possesses one from bathing in tile same water, surrounded l>y 500,000 poorer pilgrims, even though the sa cred river is thus piously filled with myriads of microbes. And he will fill great jars with the water In which the pilgrims have washed their bodies and drink it. In contrast to these floating palaces are thc barges of the poorer classes. The system of caste in India Imposes .upon the riverman the obligation of diving on the water as his ancestors illved, so his shabby looking craft Is also his home. Usually he has in his floating house a small chapel dedicated to a secondary divinity who personifies the river on which lie exists.—Popular • Mechanics. ABSENTMINDED. A Question the College Professor Could Not Decide Himself. There Is a highly esteemed professor In one of the big colleges who is even more absentminded than most genius es. His son Is a student in the same ■college. At the beginning of a lecture to his class one morning a look of perplexity overspread the professor's face, and his hearers noted that his thoughts seemed to be wandering from the subject he was discussing. At length he paused for a moment and quietly requested that his son be sum moned without delay. The young stu dent, startled by such an unusual mes sage from his father, hastened to him, expecting to find him dead or dying. The professor had not finished his lec ture by the time his son arrived and was explaining things in his usual clear and convincing manner. At last the son succeeded in attracting his fa ther's attention, and this ~extraordi nary dialogue took place: "John, I am surprised," growled the distinguished educator. "What do you mean by interrupting ine in this way?" "Why, father, don't you remember? You sent for ine to come at once." "Oh. yes, to be sure. Now I recol lect. It was my fear of annoying your mother. You know how it distresses her, dear soul, if I fail to appear at my meals. I got thinking about this when I started lecturing this morning, and I sent for you to set my doubts at rest. John, please tell me have I had my breakfast yet this morning?"— New lYork Press. Not Even the First Step. Mr. Morse, having bought a new bi cycle of the most improved pattern, presented liis old one to Dennis Hallo ran, who did errands and odd jobs for the neighborhood. "You'll find the ■wheel useful when you're in a hurry, Dennis," he said. The young Irishman was loud in his thanks, but regarded the wheel doubt fully. "I mistrust 'twill be a long while befoor I can ride it,"he said. "Why, have you ever tried?" asked Mr. Morse. "I have," said Dennis gloomily.

"Why, during leap year a pretty girl with an obese fortune proposed to me, 'and I said 'No,'" explained the bach 'elor, "thinking, of course, she would take It for granted that my 'No' meant 'Yes,' but she simply let it go at that." —Chicago News.
