Under unscrupulous trustees I yglnable jewels have disappeared or been I replaced with glass. Pots of silver and jljjd coin have been refilled with copper. I gich lands have been let at a nominal jgnt to their relatives, and offerings in tended for the temple have been appro \ —atei perse'iialiy. Occasionally a trua toe is prosecuted for his dishonest prac jjges. but it is not often that he is pun ched. Tbe erection of the Hindoo temple is the work of a slow system of evolution. Some holy man perhaps dies on the spot, or he has "aii ecstatic vision of the god in out of the incarnations. The space is in vested with sanctity and an image set np to the deity. The landowner straight way builds a small shelter over it to propitiate the god in his favor. The pound around the edifice is next in doied with a fence. By and by the shed is removed and lomething more pretentions and lasting erected. The dew an. or prime minister of the province, makes a pilgrimage to the shrine and leaves a rich offering in the hands of the Brahmans, who have instituted themselves as receivers, trus tees and ministrants. More pilgrims ! come; offerings in kind as well as in jewels and money jxmr in. and new buildings an erected. Courts, halls, galleries, a tank, pillared platforms, walls, gateways and towers slowly grow around the shrine—the center point of the edifice. Other shrines of affiliated deities may group themselves near the original, but the mulasthanum is al ways the same. It holds the image of the deity to whom the temple is dedicated, and it is the scene of daily ceremonies. At all risks it must be jealously guarded against the intension of any but the twice bom. When Clive took the temple of Srieungham—the largest in southern India, and a powerful stronghold in those days—2,ooo tierce Rajputs stood before the door of the Mnlasthanum, de claring that the Europeans should only pass in over their dead bodies. Their superstitions were respected, and Clive Jett the fanatics in possession. ■ln preserving the integrity of the sa cred shrine the Hindoo has something more to consider than his religious scru plea The restitution of the divine or mantric essence is a very expensive and intricate process, requiring large sums of money for its different rites. At Vel lore there is a handsome temple which was desecrated years ago by the Mo hammedans. They killed a cow in the Mnlasthanum The building now stands empty and unoccupied and the Euro pean may go iitu outer and inner court *6 he pleases. The Mnlasthanum is a finall hall, richly decorated with carv mgs. It contains nothing but a stoi.* dais, on the face of which is a tortoise in outline. The image rested formerly on the tor toise. There is a small gutter around the platform, which conducted the sa cred water—used for the ablutions of >*,e Wol—into a reservoir outside. Pilgtims ®ank of this water eagerly in belft-f of ■ miraculous powers of healing .nd purification. The temple would yroba , Ibe used again by Hindoo worehip- I** money were forthcoming suffi cient to restore the divine essence. The idol is not usually made of wwa stone. It is molded in an amalgam <* five metals—gold, silver, brass, cop aD<* * ea< *' * n eize “ smaller than me human figure. It is not called a "warnr until the mantric essence has been infused into it by the proper cere mwiies. These are performed by the brahmans, who claim the power of the essence in any object, ani or inanimate that they choose. Sometimes the object is a man, the >. trustee or “Mokteeoor.” He is | to be divine, and is called wami," and moreover, is worshiped I*** god. The daily ritual which con y*l* °bly the idol, takes place inside we shrine at intervals during the day. worshipers are present except who are taking part in the func ■om The image is tended in every mi -*te particular as though it were a liv- Pt human being.

I told him I bad taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was satisfied with it, and did not want any other. When I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla I was feeliDg real miserable with and so weak that at times I coaid hardly Hood’s stand. I looked like a person In consump tion.
