Poscra, or the "feast of horxea," is a Triy old festival in lwiiu. Tin1 lliu.li.os say that no a time long ago ihe (rod It limit weut to war with the king nf Ceylon und wu victorious because his onny h id hotter horses and bullocks than the kinc'a army. So yearly, at the time of a luov moon, the Iluidoos worship the hordes mid hillocks. I bad never heard of this festival, mid on ihe Morning of Inera I was sur prised to tind my Arab pony Itaja all trimmed with bright yellow Unworn. lie had a wreath nrnmid his neck, long pendants of Howors hum: about his ears, nnkli ts of the same bright flowers were tied around his h is just above the hoof and agniu above the knees, and tiny bou quota were tied to the harness in many places and on the reins too. It was pret ty, and 1 am sure ltuja felt "dressed up." for be wns dignified and quiet all that day nml rurricd his head a little higher than usual. Sometimes be docs frisky things, but we are not at all afraid of him, for he is iutelli.'ent, nnd if we say, "Kaja! Itnja!" Iu a derided tone he seems to know that we wish him to be digni fied. Itaja means Line, nnd we pave him that name because we think him the kin? of Arab ponies. At Poscra the bullocks, which nre as much used hero ns horses, had their horns stained with bright colored paiuts, generally a different ci.lnr for each horn, and strings of li'tle tassels of many dif ferent colors were tied from the tip of one horn to the tip of the other, or bright pieces of ribbon would be used instead of the tassels. The white homes, of which there are very many here, and the white bullocks, too. were painted, w.me in stars or in round dnts. Others had the rninz son painted on both sides of their bodies in red and gold colors. Some hordes bad only their tails and manes c ored, while a few drivers painted the sides of the rart and Hip wheels also. After all thU decorating was finished the people made pujnh to the animals. which menus that they worshiped the horses and the bullocks. I could not find any one who would ti II me if they wor shiped the enrts, too, but I think thry did. After this is done tiie people give each other presents, which should be of fold. but es the people are most of them too poor to pive gold they give the leaf of the "cold" plant, nnd that answers very well. When evening enmo. nnd the coach man who had trimmed Itaja with the fresh flowers bad not received "lmek ahee-h," he felt very much neglected and sent word to me that it was the custom of the country to give the coaehniau n donation. I gent him a rupee and made him quite happy. St. Nicholas. A Srw Discovery. "I w ish yon hndn't had your hair cut so short. Harold!" exclaimed tbe young woman, turning from him involuntarily.

SILBERBERG, THE ETHICS OF GAMBLING. She Knrn It Was Not Right ta lift on a Ortnlnty. "Woman," remarked Mr. Rooseling of Georgetown, "is heaven's best gift to man, but whether it means a married wo man or not I am not certain. Now, there's my wife. I've kuown a good many wo men in my time, nnd I don't think I'd be willing to change her for any woman I ever met, saw or heard of. We've liecn married 20 years, and in all that time we've never bad a cross word that we didn't get disposed of somehow before we had many more. It's tbe only way to get along with a woman. I'd rather yield a dozen times a day than eat tbe kind of meal my wife can hnve brought on the table when she's a mind to. I'm willing to make as many noncessions as the next man, but I really think there is a limit that any reasonable woman ought to observe. Not that my wife ia not a reasonable as any other married woman, luind you, for she is. But there are time when she makes me doubt the strict ac curacy of the time honored maxim I have quoted. Now, for iustauce, the other day I was doing something or oth er around the house, like a man has a right to do on his own premises, and, just as men sometimes do, I put my finger where I bad no business to put it and bit it a lick with the hammer. "'Well,' said I to myself, though my wife was sewing by the window on the other side of the room, 'I'll bet I'm the biggest darn fool in ten states.' "All of which I hnd a perfect right to say, but my wife looks up from her work, and says she: " 'William, don't you know enough about the ethics of gambling to know that you have no right to bet on a cer tainty?' "That's what she said, and under the circumstances what on earth could I say but nothing, and that's what I said. lint I hit that nail a lick with the hammer that drove it clear in over its head and broke a pane of glass that cost u dollar to replace."" Washington Star. Tbe Shoplifters' Harvest. One of the judges of the court of spe cial Kessions iu talking to a frieud re garding ineffectual efforts of store owu ers and courts to check shoplifting said: "No matter how severe we make the pun ishment it seems iuijwissiblc to stop these so called kleptomaniacs. Notwithstand ing the large iihtii1.it of convictions, shop lifting is on the increase. The ow ners of one of the largest department stores in the city make a charge in their Ixxiks each year of J.Vl.lSMt to 'los by shop lifter.' That is a big item, but this firm does not make many mistakes in its books. This estimate has been reached after close observation nnd careful cal culations and may be regarded ns pretty nearly correct. This firm, too, has abol ished its private detective service. It has decided that .Vi.Uisj worth of g.iods will lie stolen from its counters annually, detectives or no detectives. It figures that with the detectives it is apt to have other big losses. A detective anx ious to make a showing will often arrest a wnmnn when the charge ran not be proved in court. Then. there is nn uctioii for benvy damages, which the plaiuiiff is Hire to win."

SUSPECT EVERYBODY INIVERSAL DISTRUST RULES IN THE SAFE DEPOSIT BUSINESS. ivrm Patrons Have to Snlimlt to GalllBsr Hsrlctlos Comedy la the Taking of l'rdliirrrs ltrmark able Memory at employer. Many millions of dollars in plate, jew els, stocks, boudsv cash nnd other desira ble things an' locked in the vaults uf the safe deposit compnuies doing business la New York city. These millions are guard ed with scrupulous care. So nnic'i pro tection is thrown about them that their oners are obliged to submit to restric tions in handling their property which would be galling iudivd if the reason was uot obvious. There is a fortune for a daring thief behind the vaults' steel doors, nnd the sight of mhos lying easy of access has turned many a well mean ing hut weak man into a rogue. This is ono, reasou w hy a visitor at the olliiva of these companies, be he patron or not, is regarded with embarrassing suspicion and why the mail who desires !o liocoiiie a customer is forced to submit t nn ordeal faintly suggestive of the Spanish inquisition. Mark Twain trans formed the old adage about putting "nil your eggs in one basket" into the smart epigram, "l'ut all your cgc ; in one basket and watch that basket." The safe deposit company has all its "eggs" iu one basket, and the watchers of tl.ut basket are Ar gus eyed. Of the ".t! companies doing business in this city 17 are independent organiza tions and the retraining six nre identified with parent banks. The capital of the in dependent companies is over Jo.lHUUHSI, and the value of the riches in their keep ing may lie roughly estimated at from 40 to Th) times that amount. One representa tive down town company has lu its sub terranean vaults li.iHKI steel compart ment, ranging in size from boxes Id by S by ii inches to safes in which a 10-year-old boy might stand upright. The nir.iiiul reutr.l of these compart ments vuiics from in the one case to fSott in the other. The smallest boxes are large cuough for a comfortable for luue. What can be tucked away in a big safe would tempt a Onvstts. Usual ly these hitler compartments are reuled by business partners. Knch compart ment has n double combination, bait of which is known to each partner, lioth men therefoiv must lie present when the safe is opened, nnd nn attendant has to use his key before the benvy doors can tic swung back. The customer who wishes to get into the vaults, perhaps to enjoy the pleasing pastime of cutting off little green cou pons with a sharp pair of scissors, docs not find il a simple matter. There is an outer gate guarded by a watchful Cer berus, un inner gate at which is a sec ond Cerberus, and finally a third gate, around which is clustered a small army of attendants. When the man with the money has passed these successive bar riers, he gives the key to his box to an attendant, who is distinguished among his fellows because he possesses a truly remarkable memory. He knows the per son to whom each one of the 17,001) boxes lielongs. If there were 27,000 boxes, he would know their 7,000 own ers. He wouldn't brag about it either. Mis memory is the most valuable asset in his business. When this mnemonic wonder has re ceived the key to any one of the boxes, he goes with the customer unerringly to the right uumbcr. aud, unlocking the Ikix wlih the necessary aid of bis own key, he carries the steel drawer to one of many little room equipped with scissors, paste, peu, ink and the like. Here the customer locks himself in. When he leaves, the process is reversed, and at length he arrives on the sidewalk with a considerable idea of his importance to Ihe company which has the good fortune to safeguard his wealth. A person who wants to rent a box is severely catechised. His pedigree to the third nnd fourth generation is deemed es sential. His ngc, his profession, his hab its, even his hopes nnd aspirations, are put oil recoid. A fen- days ago an old gentleman and his wife, who were either the iHjssessors of suddenly acquired wealth or recent arrivals in the city from up the state, called nt a Itrondway af deposit company for the purpose of rent ing a box. 1 he box was to Lie entered in the wife's name, nnd her husband was asked if the wife had any peculiarity by which she could be identified, ihe old man hcnnucd nnd hawed and rubbed his chin doubtfully. "Well." he said nt length, looking at his wife out of the corner of his eye, "well, I must ndinit that Alice is n leetle quick tempered." "Why. William." was the retort, "I haven't said a mean thin:.; to you in going on Hii years." "Now, Alice," said her husband, fenc ing for nn opening, "don't you recollect tbe time" "No. I don't, nod you don't neither." At this poiui the examiner thought it best to interpose. He said that the lust ier of Identification would be waived. The essential parts of each applicant's record me couimunicuted to the attend unts, who arc required to keep iuteiii gent natch of the drift of patronage. A woman who expected to meet a friend !n the vaults on a Saturday morning asked an attendant if any one hnd called to see her. "Not today." was the nqdy. "but your sister was here last Thursday afternoon," n statement which was perfectly true. Instances of this watchfulness might be multiplied. Persons who dou't have to worry anon! where their food nnd clothes ore coming from are proverbially careless. This care lessness is the cause of much trouble to safe deposit companies. One woman left a pearl roie worth J-S.OOU lying on the table ill a room she bad just quitted, and another was mildly anxious liccnii-c. ns she confessed to an attendant, she didn't know what she hnd done with bonds which a modest valuation put nt o'Hii.imo. Evidences of thonghtfitlness nre afforded by the lists of found valuables posted each week. No one should visit a snfe deposit com pany in the hope of finding such articles on the floor. If he did. several large, ro bust men would hold him until n police man came. New York Mail and Ex- Keatnekr Krcro Soperstltloa. If a log should fall on a negro and kill him, the chances are that the log would rot where it might lie, as it would be hard to find anybody willing to move it. It Is a belief among negroes that who ever removes a log or tree that has been the means of death will meet a similar fate, and there are many who share the superstition. It is said a number of years ago a mnn in Harrodsburg, it is supposed, attempted to steal a log from some woihI pile and while crossing the Icy street slipped and wns killed by it. He was found the next morning aud his body removed, but for six mouths or more the log remained untouched on tiie side of the street, although the weather wa Tery severe and fuel was scarce among the darkies. There is another stqierstition among them in regard to transplanting cedar trees. They believe as soon as the lower limbs of Ihe tree grow to be the lenrth of a coffin the erson who transplanted it will die.-- liurgiu Ilceord. Kames of our railroad:-. Carinas baane In T.tSrs Mr Al.oul lj the I'olille. The fashion of iiamin,- i ';!:. kvN !. changed considerably i;i the I; ; q -. .01 of a century. The throe and four w i d titles have about gone out of style, d one woid names succeed them, For in stance, the Santa 1'e is uo longer referred to as the Atchison, Toprka and S.i:ita Fe. although this is the corporation ti'le. The old Chicago. Unrlingtou and tuin cy has beeu contracted to simply Hurling ton by tbe puSlic decree, mid the title Itock Island has replaced the Chicago, Ibvk Island and TiiciUc. Many towns otherwise practically un known are kept ln-fore- the public be cause they had the luck to lie worked Into a railroad title. For instance, who know s the real name of the Monou railway? As a matter of fact it was organized as the Chicago, Indianapolis and Ijouisville road. The little town of Mouon, lud., gave it its popular name. The Wabash system does not take its name from the river, but from a station of this name on the line. Ono of the most sensible railroad names was selected for the combination of railroads organized iu the south and now known a the Southern railway. The Southern is very fitting, as it enters nearly every southern state. It is also an economical name. Another unnie that strike you is the Cotton Holt. This Is how the St. Louis Southwestern railroad has been mod ernized. As it passes through one of the largest cotton producing regions of the I'nit.d States it is Tery appropriate. llociiu-o a little road up in Nova Sco tia with the ponderous title of the Ioiiiin iou mid Atlantic reached the land made fain. ins in Longfellow' poem tourists hne given it Ihe title of the Evangeline road, and perhaps this Is more appro priate than the other. It is certainly more picturesque. A change which must have shookisl the directors was in the case of the Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago and St. ljiuis. This was altogether too much for Its patrons and the railway men, and some one thought of the size of the cities named and called it the Dig l-'our. Pown in Texas and the neighboring states they have a habit of handling the railroads without gloves when it collies to giving names. A favorite plan is Io take the principal initials of a road aud spell thrni out-. Only a native of the southwestern ranches would know l'ce (lee stands for the Kansas City, l'itts bti'g and tttilf railroad. Another Texas road, the Kansas City, Iteaumont and (iuif. is merely called Ktiysoe, cutting off the lasl part of it. Sap Is short and sweet. It has been contracted from S., A. P., inclining San Antonio nnd Aran sas Pass, one of the principal lines ill Texas. The New York capitalists who bailt another road thought that Mis souri. Kansas and Texas would he a suitable name, but the Texas people re duced it to Kalv. Including nickiiaiiies, the shortest name of any railroad In the I'nited States is the Sap. which has already been re ferred to. It is Ik!7 miles iu length. A little road in Mississippi, the Chester, Perryville, Sainte Oenevieve and Farm ington, has the longest title of any in America. This contains no fewer than 4d letters, but two other lines are closo to it, the Richmond. Nicholasvillo. Irvine and lteatyyville and the Southwestern Arknrsas a'i I Indian Territory. Th Chester line is only 1!7 miles long. Chi cago luter Oil an. LONDON COSTERS. Itinerant Strert Venders Who Make Fairly tiond Incomes. It is dillicult, if not impossible, to cal culate wiih any degree of accuracy the amount of money turned over collectively in the course of a year by the costers, but interesting figures may tic supplied by placing on ninrd the gross receipts of Mime street traders. Many will be surprised to learu that a costi-r in the fruit or vegetable line will make a turnover of anything between I'M nnd 1' ur week, a full third of this be ing profit. The figures vary much, unt iirnliy, with the season of the year nnd the state of the markets, but he is reck-om-d a poor fruit coster who cannot make nil average of i2 10. to .1 weekly profit. Pespite this income, which mnuy a clerk would envy, tales of distress are frequent among them, owing to their uni versal improvidence. Fish is not so profit able a line of business, partly owing to the niore perishable nature of the stock, and a fish coster who Is a "iJsaian" aft er reckoning up cu Saturday night has no cause to grumble nt his week's work. Tbe profits of venders of penny toys, puzzb'S and other articles so familiar in the Strand and elsewhere vary according to their cost, which ranges from 4d, to 7d. per dozen. A pound to -."is. is reck oned a good weekly earning, but during the recent button craze energetic workers had no dilliruliy in clearing double this amount in some instnnces. The glitter oilcloth merchant calculates upon a profit of (Id. to Is. a piece, accord ing to size, nnd can dispose of 40 or .'0 pieces in the course of a Saturday even ing alone, to say nothing of slacker busi ness done during the reyt of the week. . street bookseller recently admitted that he hnd "never cleared less than .' it week," and on further inquiry that does not appear to be much nltove the aver age. The proprietors of those miscella neous stands Io be found chiefly iu the East End. where everything from a violin bow to a saucepan lid may be purchased, have n difficulty in tolling their profits, as, owing to the nature of their stock, some tilings sell rapidly while other ar ticles lie on hand for months. That there is money to be made at this trade is evi dent from the fact that many of its fol lowers are pointed out by their less fortu nate brethren ns l-ing the owners of the houses in which they live.

The tree which gives character to the landscape in the Island of Ceylon is Ihe cooonnnt pr.lni, whose slender grayish trunk soars up for 00 or 80 ti-ct and then bursts into a dense crown of great feath ered leaves, each from 10 to 12 feet in length. These palms grow close together in vast groves, and to one walking about under their shade their npprjrnnce is very striking nnd recnlls Ihe comparison which has been so often made between a forest nnd a cathrdral, for there is a rude but evident resemblance to architecture in the lofty aisles formed by the shafts of the palms nnd roofed in by the arched and densely intermingled foliage.
