The Rico God. In the Malay peninsula, after a gen eral propitiatory service has been held | as an "apology" to the rice for cutting | it, the "rice soul" is diligently sought. First the spot where the best rice I grows is selected; then seven stems I are chosen, each ha\ iug seven joints. Within this sacred bundle resides the soul of the whole precious Held, and, dressed in swaddling clothes like a live infant. It Is borne bome In a basket and tenderly, reverently, placed on a new sleeplug mat. After the rice harvest in Ceylon the priests take a little old god called Mareli down to the river. A hole is dug where the water Is shallow, and into this Is crammed a bag of dry rice, with the god placed on top. The satu rated rice expands, forcing the image upward, so that in about tifteen days it comes to the surface and is wel comed as a new god with acclama tions of great joy. Both in China and Japan are held special festivals of thanksgiving and offering up of first fruits.—Los An geles Times. Luck In Golf. Luck, as will readily be understood, is a factor that enteis very largely into golf. Perhaps the most notable case on record Is that of Jamie An derson when competing for the cham pionship at I'restwick in IS7S. lie had just teed his ball for the seventeenth drive when a little girl standing among the spectators remarked that he had unconsciously placed it just In front of the proper line. Although nobody else had noticed the fact, this proved on examination by the referee to bo correct. Thereupon Anderson teed his ball again in a fresh position well behind the line and made a drive which landed him in the hole and eventually enabled him to win the j match. If, however, he had played It j ■ from the original spot he would have j been penalized a stroke and 1 have lost j ! the championship. Clearly, then, luck I | 011 the links Is something to be taken | J into consideration whatever nonbeilev ers may say to the contrary.—Bailey's | Magazine. What Ho Was Allowed to Do. A Presbyterian delegate who was accustomed to being sent to denomina tional conventions to extend fraternal greetings was delegated to the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. Rising to speak, he said It was al ways an interesting study to him to note the different receptions accorded him at the conventions of the various denominations, j "Whenever I attend a convention of | the Episcopal church, for example," j said he,"l find I can do anything I I like except preach In the pulpit. When ! I go before the Baptist church I atn accorded every privilege except that of taking communion. And."he said, with a smile, "when I appear among the Methodists I notice I am allowed every privilege except taking the col lection!"— Ladles' Home Journal. Housekeeping In Papua. ! European housekeeping in Papua Is | charmingly simple. Everything arriv | ed In a tin, for the most part ready for j us. Meat, milk, butter, vegetables—all | stood In tins In neat rows In the store- I room. A diet of tinned stuffs grew j rather monotonous at times, but we were able occasionally to vary it. I Sometimes a man would arrive with a | live turtle, which he would sell for two sticks of tobacco, costing threepence. 1 The wretched turtle would be killed J and cut up, but would still Insist on | quivering in a most realistic manner I even when placed on the iire to cook, j Then, too, if the season was a good one, the kitchen would lie found lined with joints of wallabies, and it would be hard to know what to do with so ! much fresh meat.—Wide World Maga ! zine. Witty Sayings. W. S. Gilbert said of Beerbohm Tree's Hamlet that it was "funny without being coarse." During an Englishman's lecture in New Haven the usher said ton late comer: "Please, sir, take your scat as quietly as possible. The audience is 1 asleep." A Philadelphia woman said: "Of course there will be no marriage in { heaven. There will be plenty of wo ] men there and a few men, but none j any one would care to marry." Spoiled by the Cook. Cardinal Manning, the famous Eng | lish churchman, was gaunt of face, j The great ecclesiastic's appearance I was so ascetic that he seemed to have i been almost starved. Once In Llver- I pool be visited a convent, and the cook knelt to him for a blessing, which she | got. "May the Lord preserve your emi ; nence," said she, and then, looking at his thin face, she added, "and, oh. may 1 Cod forgive your cook!" Insisted on a Change.

So.ne Popular With the Students—Ob jection Made to Others. Some of the colleges have a great dislike to the way in which they are leferred to commonly in connection with athletics. For instance, Wes leyau men don't like to be called "tho Methodists," as they appear sometimes. At the Naval academy there is a strong prejudice against being called "Annapolis." The navy men aren't particularly fond of "midshipmen." They believe the proper name for their institution is "the navy." Columbia has a great distaste for tho name of "Columbians" for their repre sentatives in athletics or other public appearances. At the University of Chi cago there is a dislike of the name "Chicago university," sometimes ap plied. Although not so strongly opposed to It, students at Pennsylvania do not liko the full title "University of Pennsyl vania" as well as plain "Pennsylva nia." "Penn" is preferred to either. "Maroons" for Chicago men. "Gophers" for Minnesota, "Badgers" for Wis consin students, "Cornhuskers" for Ne braska, "Wolverenes" for Michigan, "Illiui" for the men of Illinois—all are names that are popular at those col leges and are used by the men there in speaking of their own teams. In deed, to a man unacquainted with nicknames the average statement re garding a conference college Is puz zling because of the almost entire lack of stralghtout names.—New York Sun. THE DOCTORS. Tribute to the Nobility of the Medical Profession. To enter the medical profession is to find oneself in most noble company. When Dante was led by Virgil Into the presence of"the master of them that know"he saw Aristotle surrounded by a group of the sases of antiquity. Look at them as they are Introduced one by one, and yor will see that a fourth of them bear names illustrious In medi cine. To take note of but one—Hippoc rates is there. The student will not turn to his pages now to learn what has to be taught in modern text books or class rooms. Yet he will do well to lay to heart the spirit that guided "the father of medicine" In drawing up the oath imposed on the students of the Ilippocratic school. "With purity and with holiness," the candidate was made to swear, "I will pass my life and practice tny art. Into whatever houses I enter I will go Into them for tho benefit of the sick, will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption." In the long succession of those who have enlarged the bounds of his sci ence the student will meet with a great army of men who have kept the spirit of that oath under higher sanc tions than were open to the pioneers whom the mediaeval poet consigns to a place in his Inferno because, though blameless of sin, they had not been baptized.—Sir Alexander Simpson in London Quiver. The Old Egg. "New York Is no longer young and unsophisticated," said a man who has visited all the old world capitals. "She has now all the weariness and vice of Paris, London and Home. They who still speak of New York as young, childish, innocent, remind me of Lord Exe of the Carlton. "Lord Exe, at seventy, tried to lead the life of a youth of twenty-five. lie dyed his hair, wore a corset and fre quented the music halls, Piccadilly circus and the Burlington arcade. One afternoon as he drove from the Carl ton in his brougham a member said, smiling: " There goes Exe. lie told me over a whisky and soda just now that ho felt as fresh as a two-year-old.' "Another member sneered. " 'He probably meant a two-year-old egg,' he murmured."—New York Sun. Hugo and Merimee. It is probable that with the excep tion of Byron no great literary genius ever was greeted with such a storm of vilification and abuse as Victor Hugo when he published "Les Miser aliles." While the book took the pub lic literally off their feet, almost all Hugo's rivals united in condemning it and its author. Prosper Merimee wrote in reference to a dinner given to Hugo at Brussels: "Have you read Victor Hugo's speech at the dinner given to him by Belgian librarians and other scoun drels of Brussels? Ills statements were without depth, solidity or com mon sense, lie is a man who intoxi cates himself with words and does not take the trouble to think." Victor Hugo retorted by writing to a friend, "M. Merimee is a man natu rally vile." As the Twig Is Bent. "I hope you were a good little boy while at you aunt's and didn't tell any stories," said his mother. "Only the one you put me up to. ma," replied her young hopeful. "Why, what do you mean, child?" "When she asked me if I'd like to have a second piece of cake I said. 'No, thank you: I've had enough.'"—Har per's Weekly. The Senate's Hole In the Wall. When the nineteenth century was as yet only half grown, senators applied customarily for their teddies at the so called Hole in the Wall, a small circu lar room just off the postofllee of the upper house. The latter body then occupied what is now th tfhamber of the supreme court, and the postofflco was across the main corridor of the building on the same floor. When a wearer of the toga found himself in need of a "snifter" lie had only to cross over to the malls department and pass through it to the little cir cular room aforesaid, which was about the sir'.e of a pantry. The Hole in the Wall was the first senate restaurant, and the bill of fare for edibles was short, though to the point. There was ham, guaranteed to have been smoked for six months, a veritable sublimation of the pork product: there were corned beef and bread and cheese, but very little else. They served, however, as an accompaniment for the fluids, and when the Hole was crowded, as was often the case, senators ate their sand wiches outside. In the postoffiee. Washington Post. SLAUGHTER OF WORKMEN IN U. S. The total number of accidents in a year resulting in death in the United Mates, according to statistics just compiled by the bmean of labor, is In round numbers 35,000 The number of tccideuts not resulting in death, but NHiious euougti to be reported,is about a.000,t00. This is in a total 0f,26 072, Hoi persons above the age of 15 who •re engaged in gainful occupation. this means a casualty of abont 1 in 18, but wlun aro eliminated occopa Hons such as those of bo< kkeepera, saleswomen, cleiks,seamstresses— work not connected with machinery—it is stimaied that tlie rate is one in six. the number of killed and wonnded during the four jears of the Civil war was 816,000 on the Union side and 300,000 on the Coufedrrate side. About ' 116 UJan iu every six enlisted was kill ed or wounded. Most of the fatal accidents are cans ed by (learing, belts, shafting,pnileys. plevHtors, hoists aud craues. Of the fatal accidents not caused by maciiln fry a majority are caused by hot liqu ids, steam, explosives, collapse of buildings, fa Hug objects, fall of per -ouH, vehicles ami animals. Of tLe accidents not resulting in death something over half were caused by machinery, and a little less than half by other causes. Of the 35,000 people annually killed iu the United States in our iudustiial mploynieuts, and on our railroads, it is the conclusion of the bureau of lab or that it would be possible by intel ligent methods aud ratioual factory inspection aud control to save at least one-third and perhaps one-half of these lives. A large proportion of also the 2,000,Uf0 of injuiies could be prevent ed in a similar way. Consequently at least 15,000 deaths a year, aud possibly clos- to a million accidents, with all the sorrow aud suffering resulting from them, most be laid up to somebody's neglect. Tho problem is in part one for cnrgreßß aud in pari, no doubt, one which lie* within the jurisdiction of State legig Ittnres aud city governments. Notice.
