ANIMALS AS DESPOTS
TYRANNY OF THE PAMPERED SACRED
BEASTS OF ASIA.
In Benares the Teriun Who 111 Treats
a Monkey Haua the Ktak of Briaf
Torn to I'lecen—Hon the Holy 801 l
Victimises the Bozar Man.
Readers of Kipling's "Kim," which
gives a better picture of Indian life
than anything else In print, may recall
«low the hero first begged on behalf of
the Tibetan yogi. The bazaar woman
to whom he gave the begging bowl
cried:
""That bowl, indeed I That cow bel
lied basket: Thou liast as much grace
as the holy bull of Sliiv. He has taken
the best of a basket of onions already
this morn, and, foosooth, I must fill thy
bowl. He comes here again.'
"The huge, mouse colored Brabmanee
bull of the ward was shouldering his
way through the many colored crowd,
a stoleu plantain hanging out of hla
mouth. He headed straight for the
shop, well knowing his privileges as a
sacred beast, lowered his head, and
pufTed heavily along the line of bas
kets ere making his choice. Up flew
Kim's hard little heel and caught him
ou his nioist blue nose. He snorted in
dignantly and walked away across the
tram rails, bis hump quivering with in
dignation.
" 'See! I have saved more than the
bowl will cost thrice over. Now, moth
er, a little rice and some dried fish
atop—yes, and some vegetable curry.'
"A growl came out of the back of the
shop, where a man lay.
" 'He drove away the bull,' said the
woman in an undertone. 'lt is good to
give to the poor.'
"Kim looked at the load lovingly.
" 'That is good. When I am in the
bazaar the bull shall not come to this
house. He Is a bold beggarman.' "
Indeed, he is, and he is only one of
many. The people of India, like those
of other Asiatic countries, aro the
slaves of their sacred uuimals. There
Is no tyranuy more outrageous than
of the animal despots of Asia.
An English globe trotter of toy ac
quaintance was being sliotvii the sights
of Benares, tU b most sacred city In all
souie years ago. As he passed
through one of the narrow, crowded
streets of the bazaar ho met a huge
white RraJunanee bull stalking ulong
as if the whole city belonged to him,
brushing people aside right and left,
and pushing his nose uuUindered Into
the baskets of grain, rice und country
produce which were displayed outside
the little native shops.
It was exactly the klud of scene de
scribed so well 111 "Kim."
The bull and the Englishman met in
tho narrow pathway—"sidewalk," It
■would be called here, but In Irdla side
walk and road are usually Indistin
guishable. Neither would way,
for both belonged to an obstinate, self
assertive race. The bull tried to push
past. The Englishman nit him a smart
rap on the nose.
"Get up, you brute!" ho cried wfth
an enforcing oath.
In a moment Vhe baaaar was in an
uproar The natives, who, a moment
before, had cringed servilely to the
sahib, now crowded around him, with
the passion of murder iu their hearts.
They pelted hlui with dirt and stoues,
called hlui all manner of vile uames
(more numerous, surely, In India than
anywhere else ou earth) and threatened
most, plainly to kill him. Was he uot
an infidel dog who had struck the
sacred bullK I>eath by torture was
surely too good for him. He would
bring a curse ou the city. The famine
and the plague would come. Their
wives would be childless.
80 tho talk ran excitedly front man
to man. The tumult grew. Tho angry
mob Increased to thousands. Had It
Bot l>»en the opportune urrlval of
a police patrol of stulwart Wlkhs—
regally scornful of Hindoo goda, snd
ever 011 the watch for such incidents
as this-the globe trotter would cer
tainly have puld with his life for his
tgU'trance of lUmloo Ideas as to the
aacreduess of sacred animals.
Huch riots as this aro common
enough In India durtug the winter
tourist season, und It Is Indeed mar
velous that many Americans and Eug
Hshiuen are not slain. The trouble oc
curs especially In Benares, the most
fanatical city In the empire, and pos
sibly In the whole world. The Hindoo
Mecca, as It has been called, Is the
headquarters of nrahmnnlsm and the
chief stronghold of the itulmal worship
which distinguishes that cult. There
are sacred animals all over ludla, but
nowhere else nre there so many of
them ns In Benares, and nowhere else
are they held tu so much reverence and
allowed »o much license.
Anglo-Indians are often contemptu
ous of natives and native superstitions,
but no Anglo-lndlsu would cure to
Strike a sacred bull In Benares. Klin
did It In Lahore. In Benares It would
be exceedingly unwise even to swear
at the holy beast In the presence of
natives who might understand the
oaths.
"The bulls are especially sacred,"
wrote Professor James Rlcalton In a
letter to the uuthor of this article, aft
er he had Just returned from a tour of
India, In which tie secured some ex
tremely Interesting photographs of va
rious sacred anlmuls. "They line the
Jdewalks of the city, enter sweetmeat
and grocery stores and help themselves
to the choicest articles without hin
drance. They enjoy the freedom of
every city. If a bullock chooses to He
down In a narrow lane where lie fills
the entire space, no pious Hindoo will
pass that way while the sacred beast
In taking bis rest.
"The Indulgence extended to these
rebu bo vines ts wonderful. They enter
the most sacred precincts of the tem
ples. They are so pampered with
dainties sud luxuries that they become
burdened with fat."
Allhotigb the Ilrithmnnee bull Is the
most sacred animal Iu India, he has
many competitors. There ar« more
gods than worshipers In Indlu. Iteast
worship seems to bo natural to tho
Hindoo, and It Is certainly one of the
foundation stones of lirabmnniam. Fol
lowers of the purer forms of that faith
tuny say Hint the sacred liensts are
ouly symbols and not g«sls, but a re
llglon must be Judged by tho effect
which It has on Ihe mass of Its
devotees. The monkey, the crocodile,
the crane, the Ibis, the cobra and oilier
serpents nre among the creatures that
share with the bull the reverence of the
people, If not their worship. Benares
Is the headquarters of all Ihe numer
ous cults of lirabmanlatu that especial
ly worship one or other of these sacred
beasts.
One of the holiest places In Benares
Is the lioorga Khoud, or nioukoy tem
ple. The monkey comes next to the
Brabmanee bull In order of sanctity.
An Kugllsh resident In the city assured
the writer that anybody who killed or
even 111 treated a monkey would run a
very g«**l chance of being torn to
pieces by the fanatlcul natives. That
if uot gcncfully true «f India, tor 1
have seen monkeys killed there with
out any trouble resulting, but I believe
it Is ti*ne of Benares.
At the Doorga Khotul hundreds of
monkeys are kept as pets by the
priests. They run about all over the
place Just as they please and are never
caged or restrained In any way. As a
consequence they are jolly, good tem-
I>ered little fellows, quite unlike the
savage, sulky brutes you see In an
American zoo. It is a mistake to sup
pose that a monkey's nature is essen
tially vicious.
The temple is simply a large paved
yard surrounded by high walls on
which there are a lot of wooden boxes
and houses in which the monkey*. live.
There is a big tank for the monkeys to
drink from and swim in. if they choose
to do so, and a huge banyan tree gives
them nil the gymnastic exercise they
want. Visitors are welcomed, but they
are expected to buy food for the mon
keys from the priests at an exorbitant
price. As soon as they get inside the
monkeys mob them-, climbing all over
them, snatching the food from their
hands and then scampering off to eat
it in the banyan tree.
These monkeys and all of their kind—
the grayish brown, short tailed common
monkey of northern India—are sup
posed to be the descendants of Hunu
man, the monkey god of southern In
dia. According to the myth of the
Rrahmans, Ilunuman aided Rama to
conquer Ceylon by building a bridge of
rocks from India to that island. His
Image is to be seen in most Hindoo
temples in the form of a man with a
black monkey's face and tail.
Sacred monkeys scamper along the
streets and over the housetops in most
Indian cities and villages. The shop
keepers are constantly worried by their
foraging escapades, but they dare not
resent them any more than those of the
sacred bull. These monkeys are often
the companions of the hermits and
fakirs with which India swarms, and
they are the chief part of the congre
gation in many temples where they nr»
fed nud protected.
Tanks in which sacred crocodiles are
kept are attached to some temples in
Benares. In former days they were fed
with children nnd other human sacrl
fl<*«s, but the British government,
though very Indulgent toward native
suiterstitions, will, cf course, not allow
that uow. Some Anglo-Indians assert,
however, Ihnt such sacrifices are still
made on the sly. Whether this Is true
or not. It Is n fact that many fanatical
Hindoos would not kill a crocodile
which had killed their wife or child.
Some Hindoos are unspeakably cruel
to animals that are not sucred, but In
general the faiths of India enjoin kind
ness to dumb animals as a religious
dutj*. Buddhism does so most em
phatically, for the whole tendency of
Its teaching, rightly given, Is to make
a man gentle and mild. The Tarsees
are noted for their kindliness to all
creatures, man and beast, and they
give largely out of their boundless
wealth to the support of the Jain tem
ples. which are perhaps the most de
lightful place* tn all India.
AU the best elements In Brahmanlam
flock to the Jain cult na the needle
flies to the magnet. The Jains recog
nize all the goda of the Hindoo creed,
weur the Urn h ninnies I thread and ad'
here l«> Hindoo caste law. Yet they
are utterly unlike the nverage Brnb
man. Tlicy have agreed to Ignore all
tbat Is vile In Brahmanlsm and to de
vote themselves to nil that Is noble.
They reverence tho aacred animals,
but tbey give to tbe worship a prac
tical twist by adoring all animate, all
living creature*, and by making veter
inary surgery at once their vocation
and their religion.
Every Jain temple Is a hospital for
the lam*, the blind, the sick and the
maltreated among nnlmals. The priests
go around Ihe streets of the crowded
city picking up dogs with broken legs,
cats that hare been nearly starved to
death and birds with broken wings.
If they see an ass or a horse that Is
overworked and cruelly Iteaten, they
will buy It from the brutal owner. All
the animals thus rescued nre taken to
the temple grounds and tenderly and
patiently treated and nursed back to
health.
rtidla Is, of course, not the only
oriental country In which animals are
regarded as sacred. In almost all
eastern lands, save those which are
tightly in the grip of Islam, certain
dumb creatures are the objects of rev
erence or of superstition, If not of
actual worship. Slam's sacred white
elephant- a curious superstition graft
ed upon n debased form of Buddhism
la the best known example, but dozens
of others could be given.—William
Thorp !u New York Post.
A f*feve»»on Hforjr«
A bonk on Htevensou tells of a speech
he made at n gathering of Scotchmen
In Samoa. Ite said: "I cannot say why
we nro proud to be Scotsmen, but the
fact remains that we are. It 1H not
that our land Is sunny like these trop
ical Isles, and Ks climate Is not even
lovely. Scotland's history contains lit
tie that Is not disgusting to people of
humane feelings. That long brawl
Which Is called Scottish history cou
tains scarcely one object that Scots
have patience with." Tho address drew
tears to the eyes of a German who hail

had tho speaker finished than the meet

"Auld Lang Syne."

ORIGIN OF GOLD PENS
THE FIRST ONES WERE MADE
LAND AND WERE FAILUA
Then an Amerlna Cltlsea DlKtn
That Iridium Comld Be tM<
Protecting the Points, ui the ]
feet Pen Resulted.
To an American is due the cn
for having made the fountain pen
useful article it has come to be,
without the gold pen point, which c
jiot corrode, the fountain pen would
useless.
The manufacture of gold pens \
commenced in the United States In 1
by a watchmaker of Detroit. Attem
had been made in England to mi
gold pens prior to that time, but tl
met with little success. Alloyed |
is too soft to make a durable point, I
this circumstance made it necesa
to protect the pen points with i
monds or rubies until John Isaac Hi
kins, a citizen of the United States, I
residing in England while the erp
ments In the manufacturing of g
pens were lu progress there, actiden
ly discovered that the native alloy
Iridium and osmium ore, one of
hardest and most refractory of all i
tallic alloys, could be used for proti
ing the points to much better adv
tage and more cheaply.
Hawkins' rights were purchased b;
clergyman of Detroit, who Induced
watchmaker above mentioned to ma
facture gold pens. The first pens mi
by him were poor substitutes for
quill then in use. In 1840 his pli
was taken to New York, whore
business was enlarged.
Quite an improvement was added
the plant by the machines for the m
lug and tempering of the pens, invc
ed by John Kendell, one of the <
ployees of the establishment This
tablishment soon produced a gold ]
so perfect that it combined the el
ticity of the quill with the permasei
of the metal. About ISSO It was (
covered that by Imbedding the iridl
points In the gold Instead of solder
them on the corrosive Influence of.
Ink on the two metals, the solder I
the gold, was avoided and a flrn
hold In the pen was given to the poll
The gold pen has been brought to
present degree of perfection by '
American manufacturer, and the
dustry from its Inception has tx
characterized by the use of AmerU
methods. For the production of
gold pen a high degree of skill Is nec
sary, and only experts are emploj
In the different plants.
The gold used In tho making of 1
pens is obtained from the Unit
States assay office. It Is then mel
and alloyed about sixteen carats t
nnd rolled Into a long, narrow rlbb
from which pen blanks or flat pla
in the shape of a pen, but consideral
thicker than the finished pen, are <
by means of a lever press or dit a
punch. Tho blunt nib ot the blank
botched or recessed at the end to*
celve the iridium that forms the i
ceedingly hard point which all
pens possess.
The iridium is coated with a era
of borax ground In water and laid
the notch formed In the end of the
blank. It fc then Secured frf h-propwi
of sweating, which Is nothing more or
less than melting the gold of which the
pen Is formed so that It unites solidly
with the Iridium. Tbe blank is then
passed between rollers of peculiar
form to give a gradually diminishing
thickness from the point backward.
The rolls have a small cavity In which
the extreme end of tho Iridium pointed
nib is placed to prevent Injury to the
Iridium. After rolling the nib of every
pen Is stiffened and rendered spongy
by hnmmurlng.
This Is the most Important proceu
In the manufacture of the pen, as the
elasticity of the pen depends entirely,
upon this operation. Tbe pen Is then
trimmed by u press similar to that
which is used for cutting out tbe
blanks or by automatic machinery.
When the blank lias been trimmed the
name of the manufacturer and the
number of the pen are stamped on it
by means of a screw press.
The lion Is given Its convex surface
also by means of n screw preM, the
blank being pressed betweon a concave
die beneath and a convex one above.
Quito a little force Is necessary to
bring the pen to the required convex
ity, and when this operatlou Is com
pleted two Jaws approach the blank
and press It up on opposite edges, thus
giving tbe pen Its filial shape.
Tho no*t step Is to cut the Iridium
Into two points by holding It on the
edge of a thin copper disk which la
charged with line emery and oil and
revolves at a high speed. The nib la
then slit by a machine and the slit
lleared by means of a line circular
saw. After slitting, the nibs are
brought together by hammering, and
the pen Is burnished on the Inside by a
concave form and on the outside by a
convex form. This is necessary to give
the pen a uniform surface and greater
elasticity.
These nibs aro then set l>y tho lingers
alone, after which operation the pen la
ground by a lathe with a thin steel
disk and a copper cylinder, both charg
ed with flno emery and oil. The silt
Is tliMii ground by a fluo disk, and the
aides or tbe nibs and tbe points are
ground upon the copper cylinder. After
tho grinding is done tho pen la pollabed
upon buff wheels, wblub completes th*
•*rocoss of manufacture.
fleforo the pen Is placed upon the
market, however, It Is given n thorough
Inspection to see that It possesses the
