to whom ho gavo the Ik using bowl
cried: ;

as the holy bull of Shiv. He has taken
the best of a basket of onions already
this morn, und, foosootu, I must fill thy
bowl. lie comes here again.
"The huge, mouse colored Brahmanee
bull of the ward was shouldering his
way through the many colored crowd,
ii stolen plantain hanging out of his
mouth. Ho headed straight for the
Bhop, well knowing his privileges as a
sacred beast, lowered his head, and
puffed heavily along the line of bas
kets ere making his choice. I'p flew
Kim's hard little heel and caught him
on his nioistr blue nose. He snorted in
dignantly and walked away across the
tram raila, his hump quivering with in
dignation. " 'See! I have saved more than the
bowl will cost thrice over. Now, moth
er, a little rloo and some dried fish
atop yes, and some vegetable curry.'
"A growl came out of thr back of tho
shop, whore n man lay.
'"lie drove nwny the lu ll,' said the
womau in an undertone. 'It Is good to
give to the poor.'
"Kim looked at the load lovingly.
"'That is good. When 1 am in the
bazaar the bull shall not c ome to this
house. He Is a bold .beggai man.' "
Indeed, he Is, and he is only one of
many. The people of Indl i, like those
of other Asiatic count rls, are the
slaves of their sacred nnii iala. There
Is no tyranny more outrageous than
that of the animal despots of Asia.
An English globe trotter of my ac
quaintance was being shown the sights
of Benares, the most snored city In all
India, some years ago. As he passed
through one of the narrow, crowded
streets of tho bazaar he met a huge
white Brahmanee bull stalking along
as if tho whole city belonged to him,
brushing people aside right und left,
and pushing his nose unhindered Into
the baskets of grain, rlco and country
produce which were displayed outside
the little native shops.
It was exactly the kind of scene de
scribed so well in "Kim."
The bull nnd the Englishman met in
the narrow pathway "sidewalk," it
would be called here, but In India side
walk and road are usually indistin
guishable. Neither would give way,
for both belonged to an obstinate, self
assertive race. The bull tried to push
past. The Englishman hit him a smart
rap on the nose.
"Get up, yon brute!" he cried with
an enforcing ontb.
In a moment tho bazaar 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 In their hearts.
They pelted him with dirt and stones,
called him all manner of vile names
(more numerous, surely, In India than
anywhere else on earth) and threatened
most plainly to kill hlin.' Was he not
an Infidel dog who had struck the
sacred bull? Death by torture wag
surely too good for him. He would
bring a curse on the city. The famine
and the plngue would come. Their
wives would be childless.
So tho talk ran excitedly from man
to mac. The tumult grew. The angry
mob Increased to thousands. Had it
not been for the opportune arrival of
a police patrol of stalwart Sikhs
regally scornful of Hindoo gods, and
ever on the watch for such incidents'
ns this tho globe trotter would cer
tainly have paid with bis life for his
Ignorance of Hindoo Ideas as to the
Bucredness of sacred animals.
Such riots as this are common
enough In India during the winter
tourist season, and It Is indeed mar
velous that many Americans and Eng
lishmen are not slain. The trouble oc
curs especially In Benares, the most
fanatical city In the emplie, and ros
slbly In the whole world. The Hindoo
Mecca, as It has been called, is the
headquarters of Brahmanlum and the
chief stronghold of the nnii lal worship
which distinguishes that cult. There
are sacred animals all over India, but
nowhere else are there s many of
them as In Benares, and nowhere else
lire they held In so much reverence and
allowed so much license.
Anglo-Indians are often contemptu
ous of natives and native superstitions,
but no Anglo-Indian would care to
strike a sacred bull In Benares. Kim
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 Trofessor James Rlcalton In a
letter to the author of this article, aft
er he had Just returned from a tour of
India, In which he secured some ex
tremely Interesting photographs of va
rious sacred animals. "They line the
ewalks 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 he fills
the entire space, no pious Hindoo will
pass that way while the sacred beast
" Is taking his rest
"The Indulgence extended to these
cebu bovlnes Is wonderful. They enter
the most sacred precincts of the tem
ple. They are so pampered ,wltb
dni,ltl,s nnd lux"1-1'8 tlat oy becbuie
! burdened with fat."
Although the Brahmanee bull Is tho
most sacred animal in India, he has
many competitors. There are more
gods than worshipers In India. Beast
worship seems to be natural to tho
Hindoo, and It Is certainly one of the
foundation stones of Brahmnnism. Fol
lowers of the purer foruis of that faith
may say that the sacred beasts are
only symbols and not gods, but a re
ligion must be Judged by the effect
which it has on the i.mss of its
devotees. The monkey, t:ie crocodile,
the crane, tho Ibis, the cobra and other
serpents are among the ci 'aturea that
share with the bull the reverence of the
people, if not their worship. Benares
Is the headquarters of all the numer
ous cults of Bralimanlsm tliat especial
ly worship one or other of these sacred
beasts.
I One of the holiest places In Benares
Is the Poorga Kliond, or monkey tem
ple. The monkey comes uext to the
Brahmanee bull in order of sanctity.
An English resident in the city assured
the writer that anybody v. ho killed or
even ill treated a monkey would run a
very good chance of being torn to
pieces by the fanatical natives. That
Is not generally true of India, for I
have seen monkeys killed there with
out any trouble resulting, but I believe
it is true of Benares.
At the Doorga Kliond 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
pered 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 monkeys live.
There is a big tank for the monkeys to
drink from and swim in, if they choose
to do so, and a huge banynn tree gives
them all 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 seanipering 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 Hnnu
man, the monkey god of southern In
dia. According to the myth of the
Brahmans, Ilununian aided Rama to
conquer Ceylon by building a bridge of
rocks from Indin 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 nnd 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 thry dare not
resent them any more than those of the
sacred bull. These monkeys are often
the companions of tho 1 ermits and
fakirs with which India swarms, and
they are the chief part of the congre
gation in many temples where they are
fed and protected.
Tanks in w hich sacred crocodiles are
kept are attached to some temples in
Benares. In former days they were fed
with children and other human sacri
fices, but the British government,
though very indulgent toward native
superstitions, will, of course, not allow
that now. Some Anglo-Indians assert,
however, that such sacrifices are still
made on the sly. Whotlr this is true
or not, it is a fact that many fanatical
Hindoos would not kill a crocodile
which had killed their wife or child.
Some Hindoos are unspeakably cruel
to animals thnt are not sacred, but In
general the faiths of India enjoin kind
ness to dumb animals as a religious
duty. Buddhism does so most em
phatically, for the whole tendency of
its teaching, rightly given. Is to make
a man gentle and mild. Tho 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 places In all India.
All the best elements In Brahmanlsm
flock to the Jain cult as the needle
files to the magnet. The Jains recog
nize all the gods of the Hindoo creed,
wear the Brahmanlcal thread and ad
here to Hindoo caste law. Yet they
are utterly unlike tho average Brah
man. They have agreed tJ Ignore all
that Is vile In Brahmanlsm and to de
vote tliemselves to all that Is noble.
They reverence the sacred animals,
but they give to the worship a prac
tical twist by adoring all animals, nil
living creatures, and by making veter
inary surgery at once their vocation
and their religion.
Every Jain temple Is a hospital for
the lame, the blind, the sick and the
maltreated among animals. The priests
go around the streets of the crowded
city picking up dogs with broken legs,
cats that have been nearly starved to
death and birds with broken wings.
If they see an ass or a horse that is
overworked and cruelly beaten, they
will buy it from the brutal owner. All
the animals thus rescued are taken to
the temple grounds and tenderly and
patiently treated and nursed back to
health.
ilidia 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 a debased form of Buddhism

How We Catch Cold.
The rationale of the causation of the
ordinary "cold" Is pretty well under
stood at the present dny, and It Is gen
erally conceded that when circulatory
disturbances or vital depression is
produced as the result of locnllzed or
general chilling of the body surface
newly entered or already present path
ogenic bacteria are enabled to attack
the body with very good chances of
success. At Bach times It is Bald that
the powers of resistance are below
par, and consequently the bacteria
gain an easy victory. This point was
illustrated In telling fashion by
Durck, who found that rabbits Infect

cold, whereas unchllled control ani

lion to Get Into the One and to Sop
port Yourself With the Other.
Very few persons know how to get
Into a life buoy, and, as In tills uncer
tain world one never knows when one
may need to make use of a buoy In
real earnest, a little practice might
prove of great value In an emergency.
Now, when the buoy Is thrown Into
the water the temptation Is to try to
lift it over one's bend and shoulders
or to dive through It. This, however,
Is Impossible. The correct thing is to
grasp the two sides of the buoy, with
fingers of the bands uppermost, lower
yourself under the buoy and come up
through the center, then rest your
arms upon the sides, and you will be
comfortably supported us lopg as It Is
necessary.
More often than otherwise. In case
of accident, a life buoy Is not at hand.
In such event an oar may be used as
a substitute. Now, there Is some llttlo
art In saving oneself by this means,
for mi average sized scull Is not buoy
ant enough to support a person If
grasped ns the llrst Impulse would

There Is only ono way In which the
oar will support a human being. It
must be ridden like a hobby horse.
The haft Is put between the legs and
the blnde allowed to project above tho
surface of the water In front of one.
By this means tho head Is kept well

ly with the purpose of leaving him to
rest. He had given her a chime of
bells, to be used In summoning the
family to meals, and because of his
illness they had never been rung in the
house. Now, because he seemed so
much better, she played on them a lit
tle bugle call that came Into her head.
"Do you know what you hnvo play

the call that Is sounded over the graves

She rushed back to the hells and
played the call engraved on a metal

THE DAINTY WASP.
Apparatus Willi Which He Makes
HIM Complicated Tnllet.
"Wasps are exceedingly dainty In
their habits," says a wriUr In the Pil
grhn, "and, in order 111:'.: they may
gr:itify their instinct for iicat:ic"8 to the
utmost, nature has provided them with
a set of marvelous!- delicate combs
and brushes. If we look closely at the
wasp's legs wo will find that each bears
on Its outermost long joint two small,
movable spines, known as the apical
spurs, and if we examine these with a
magnifying glass each Is seen to be
provided with a row of line teeth, so
that the apparatus answers for a coarse
and fine toothed comb.
"The tidying up process consists of
various perfectly definite steps, usually
taking place in a particular sequence.
First, It passes both front legs over the
face from above downward, and nfter
repeating this movement several times
draws them through the jaws. This Is
to remove any foreign substance which
may have collected on them. The legs
are then passed backward from the
forehead, much as we should smooth
back our hair. The wlngi are then
stroked again and again from the base
to the tip, although the most careful ob
server would fail to detect anything
upon them. The abdomen Is next care
fully stroked from base to tip until
every hair points in the right direction
and a gloss as fine ns satin is attal'd.
Last of all, each of the six leg i, in turn,
Is laboriously drawn between two of Its
fellows, so the wasp Is once more ready
to face Its world." '

COLORED SKIN.
ft. Theory That It I nn Intermedlnrr
Stnq-e of Development.
The origin of colored skin, or white
either. Is still unknown. If the sun Is
really the active agent In Its evolution,
tlie power of sunlight must have been
curtailed wheu people took to wearing
clothes.
The slightest protection, ns seen In
the use of ladles' veils, keeps the white
skin pure. Therefore, if Ha re Is any
protection afforded by natural dark
skin, an equivalent Is obtained for
white people by the use of clothes. Un
til white people begin to discard cloth
ing In the tropics their skin will re
nin In white.
Sunburn must not be confounded
with pigmentation of the skin. Sun
burn Is merely a tanning of the epi
dermal eolls on the surface of the skin,
"whereas pigmentation Is caused by a
deposit of dark matter within the
deeper layers of the true skin.
Slimming the whole evidence up,
considering all arguments derived
from history, anthropology, ethnology
and general evolution. It seems to me i
that the colored skin Is an Intermedi
ary stage of development between our
primate ancestors and the pure white
or Caucasian skin. My general con
tention Is that white skinned peoples
come from the oldest stocks of human
ity and that In the process of evolution
they became white by the use of
clothes. Dr. T. F. Mucdonald.

An Old HnBllsh Custom of llnlslna
Money For Church Ise.
A curious light Is thrown on ancient
church bazaars and charity balls by
certain records kept In some of the
churches in England. For Instance, In
the records of Yateley church, which
date from 15-1H, are frequent references
to "church ales," the object of which
was to get money for church expenses.
The Tea.it was organized by the
church wardens, "who provided a good
spread at so much a head, and credited
the profits to the church expenditure."
It Hrat iippeai-s us the "church ale,"
then as the "king's ale," then later as
"our banquet nt Whitsuntide." It was
probably held In the church aud went
on until 10-1;?, the year nfter the civil
war broke out. when probably tho
ruritans put an end to sucb festivities.
It was popular evidently.
Ono enterprising churchwarden has
left on record nil the good things which
we-e prepared for the Croudull
"church ale" in the year l.'ST. They
had n baud, brewed a quantity of ale,
and made a profit of $12. As money
was then worth nearly ten times as
much as now, the "church ale" may be
said to have brought In about $iOO,
which was Just WO per cent on tho
outlay. The baud was hired for four
days.
THE SENSE OF TRAFFIC.
A Good Tlilnn; For Those In Crowded
Centers to Cnllivnlc.
Every town dweller should cultivate
his "sense of traffic." At first this
means that he will take every step In a
crowded thoroughfare with a reasoned
consciousness. He will never think of
his business or his pleasure while he
Is in the street, but only of the wny In
which lie Is going, of what Is before
him, of what Is on either side of him
and of what he is leaving behind him.
At every crossing be will settle his
course, so to speak, and look out for
dangers from every point of the com
pass. ' After very few weeks of this
careful self regulation he will develop
the "sense of tralfio." Without know
ing It ho will see and hear and realize
all that moves about him. He will au
tomatically avoid collision, and it will
be as Impossible for him to take a step
nt the wrong time as It was formerly
difficult for him to take It nt the right
one. He will nt the same time pro
serve bis person and lighten the labors
of the policeman. Street accidents oc
cur to those who have no "sense of
traffc." London Lancet.
The (iond Clnssllled.
All Indian Is a good Indian when ho
Is dead; a boy Is a good boy when he Is
asleep; a man Is a good man when ho
Is at work. Oct busy nnd be a good
citizen. Douglas (Kan.) Tribune.

Inability to get up brisk and fresh in
the morning, lack of appetite, pallor,
muddy complexion and poor spirits
