FEAST OF HORSES.
Tcry Old Festival Still ivtelirated la

Poscra, or the "feast of horxea," is a
Triy old festival in lwiiu. Tin1 lliu.li.os

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.

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

Tbe Shoplifters' Harvest.
One of the judges of the court of spe

"No matter how severe we make the pun

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.

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

The old Chicago. Unrlingtou and tuin

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

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

make nil average of i2 10. to .1 weekly

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

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

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

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

is money to be made at this trade is evi
