FLOATING PALACES.
Galleys of the Hindoo Rajahs on the
Ganges River.
Notwithstanding the fact that iadiu
has for many years been under the
rule of England, the conditions and
manner of living have uot greatly
.changed in many parts of it. On the
Gauges river in the uorthwest jprov
inces the tourist will see. if hn np
proaehes Benares ni the right titnn, the
same type of craft that carried pil
grims to this most sacred of Hindoo
cities hundreds of yours ago*. These
are floating palaces or magnificent gal
leys on which rajahs journey to Ben
ares and which serve as a test of their
pious zeal.
These galleys din'or hardly an Iota
from the vessels used for the same
purpose by rajnlis who died centuries
past, lncrusted with gold, silver and
pearl and decorated with tapestries
embroidered with preciousji&ietals and
jewels, these wonderful modern-an
rient vessels lend a festive touch to
the river scene. But their sumptuous
n\ss does not prevent the richest rajah
who possesses one from bathing iu the
same water, surrounded by 00.0.00?
poorer pilgrims. 6ven though the sa
cred river is thus piously tilled with
myriads of microbes. And he will fill
great jars with the water in which the
pilgrims have washed their bodies and
drink it.
In contrast to these floating palaces
are the barges of the poorer classes
The system of caste In India imposes
upon the riveriuan the obligation of
living on the water as ills ancestors
lived, so his shabby looking craft Is
also his home. Usually he has iu his
floating house a smali chapel dedicated
to a secondary divinity who personifies
the river on which he exists.—Popular
Mechanics.
ABSENTMINDED.
A Question the College Professor Could
Not Dccia'o Himself.
There Is a highly esteemed professor
in one of tlie big colleges who is even
more absentmituled than most genius
es. His son is a student in the saine
college. At the beginning of a lecture
to his class one morning a look o!
perplexity overspread the professor's
face, and hU hirers noted that Ills
thoughts seemed to be wandering from
the subject he was discussing. At
length he psmsed for a moment and

tnone'd without delay. The young stu
dent. startled by such an unusual mes
sage from liis father, hastened to him.
expecting to find him dead or dying
The professor had not finished his lec
ture by the time his son arrived and
was explaining things in his usual
clear and convincing manner. At last
the son succeeded in attracting his fa
ther's attention, and this extraordl
nary dialogue took place:
"John. I am surprised." growled the
distinguished educator. "What do you
menu by interrupting me in this way'/"
"Why. father, don't you remember?
You sent for me to come at once."
"Oh. yes. to be sure. Now I recol

mother. You know how it distresses
her. dear soul, if I fail to appear at
my meals. I got thiuking about this
when I started lecturing this morning,
and I sent for you to set my doubts at
rest. John, please tell me have I had
my breakfast yet this morning?"Acw

Mr. Morse, having bought a new bi
cycle of the most improved pattern,
presented his old one to Dennis Hallo

the neighborhood. "You'll flnd the
wheel useful when you're in a hurry.
Dennis," he said.
The young Irishman was loud in hi:t
thanks, but regarded the wheel doubt
fully.
"I mistrust 'twill be a long while
befoor I can ride it." he said.
"Why. have you ever tried?" asked
Mr. Morse.
"I have." said Dennis gloomily. "A

How He Lost Out.
"It served me right." sighed the
bachelor. "I ought to have remem
bered that women have no senffe of
humor."
"What's gnawing you now?" queried
that Inquisitive friend.
"Why, during leap year a pretty girl
with an obese fortune proposed to me,

tuke it for granted that my 'No' meant
'Yes,' but she simply let it go at that."

a PERFECT FLIERS.
Eagles, Vultures and Similar Birds
Are In This Class.
It is a fact that those Ingenious and
daring minds that devote themselves
to the solution of the problem of avia
tioii have 'given ho small part of'their
preliminary study to considering the
manner of flight of birds.
A strange result of this investigation
is the conclusion, now generally in
dorsed, that, as a whole, the bird world
is not to be regarded as perfect in its
•ittainment of flight. For Instance, it
fs contended by the best authorities
that all birds obliged continually to
flap their wings—and in this category
may be mentioned sparrows, flnches,
thrushes, crows, etc.—are still in ai
imperfect stage of advancement.
In the next class, as being a degree
advanced, are put such birds as pi
goons, swallows, etc., which are able
to dart ahead for a space after they
have gained a good start by the vigor
ous flapping of their pinions.
Iu the third class the birds that may
be said.to be perfect fliers are the
eagles, vultures, albatrosses and sim
ilar big birds possessing the ability to
rise nnd full and sway and soar In the
ir indclinitely without a perceptible
ovement of their wings. It is. of
course, known to every person of an
observant turn that these big fowl aro
ble to soar into the air gradually un
til at last they disappear from the
eye of the watcher, it being almost
impossible to detect any movement be
yond a slight occasional motion of the
tail.—New York Tribune.
QUICK CHANGE.
From the Desire For Comfort to tha
Craze For Speed.
Mr. Ncwcnr (about to start on his
first trip in his recently purchased
motor car, to his chauffeur)—Now, Wil
Ham, I want it thoroughly understood
I will not have fast driving. Alwsya
keep well under the legal limit—not
as close to It as you can. Ten miles
an hour is fast enough for me. What
I want is comfort, not excitement Do
you understand?
Three days later. "Er—er—William,
I must be back to the house by 7
o'clock. This road seems very straight
and wide. Don't you think you might
go just a littio faster without dan
ger
Two days later. "William, this dust
is very unpleasant. If you could puss
that car ahead—It seems to be goiuj
rather slov ly."
Next day. 'Tut on a little more
speed, "William. There's no use in be
ing a crank. This road is too good to
lose the chance."
A week later. "Open her up, Wil
liam! There are no police within live
miles, I'll bet, and if there arc who
cares? I'm out for fun! Let her zip!
Let her zip! Thiols no steam roller!
Let's have some speed!"—Life.
