INDIA'S -MENDICANT A,RMY.
Tl?ree Million Fakirs Who. Are Fed
as Holy Meh. . -
Exchange. " . ;
" India is the mendicant's paradise
for there they are regarded as holy
instead of being considered a nuis
ance. The penances of these beg
gars take many and strange forms,
one of the severest being thepassing
of the devotee's Jife in an iron cage,
bouno! with fetters so heavy as, to
prevent him from standing upright.
Others hold one arm above their
heads till it becomes withered,,while
others bind ropes and chains so
tightly around their bodies that the
bonds grow into the flesh and can
not, be removed. A form of penance
which savors of the ridiculous is
that in which - the
fakir ties his
hands and feet
together and rolls
head aver heels for long distances;
me cases, it is said thousands
of miles are traveled in this way.
Although there are over 3,000,000
fakirs in India alone, a beggar
never starves, except voluntarily in
self-punishment, so afraid are the
nativestof incurring the wrath of
their multitudinous gods if the holy
men are not cared for.
A FLOWER IN THE HAIR,
One long-discarded custom
is
being brought into
favor that of
wearing a flower in the hair:
Had
woman realize! to
what an extent
the pretty cusm was admired and
even loved bJthe majority of the
opposite sex it never would have
fraternized with the spinning
wheel, the blue dishes and the lace
mifts in the dim and cobwdbbed
garret of things past. To man, and
that man a sweetheart, this little
art for such it is of putting a
flower in the hair is a signal to all
the sensitive Sentiment within him.
If you doubt this, look to the
voicings of the poets. There you
will find holding sway and running
riot as roses on an old wall such
phrases as "a blossom in her tress
es," "a flower to bewitch me in
her hair" and "that rose above her
ear was my undoing." Whether
trie hair be black or brown, red' or
gold, the charm of primeval femin
inity remains the same.
THE GREATEST OF FRAUDS.
Leslie's.
To declare yourself .worth $34,
000.000 and to keep on declaring
it until hard-headed bankers and
merchants are willing to lend you
$10,000,000 in cash and enable you
to live in luxury for eighteen years,
without the slightest occasion to
draw on your imaginary capital.
A novelist would laugh at such a
plot, vet this is exact! v what
Tlrerese Daurignac, wife of Frederic
Humbert, has actually accom
plished. '-Only the rich can borrow,''
was the heroine's motto, but she
imnroved on it. "If vou seem to be
"mch, yon can borrow." This she
believed, and this she proved to he
true; ' -
'KISSING THE BOOK."
A Bible with celluloid covers has
been introduced in a New. York
police court, and every time the
book is kissed a polieeirian removes
tvith a wet sponge all possible
di-cssi eTns.
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.
None but those initiated know
the intricacies required in a print
ing office, says the Press Specter.
The average reader who detects ;t
misspelled word or letter' upside
down. feels thathis mission on earth
is not fully' accomplished till he has
called the attention of the editor la
thr glaring defect. .He does not no
tice the thousands of letters that aie
in tSe right place, nor he multitude
of Avords correctly spelled, but his
eagle-eye is glued on that one which,
is out of place. So with our deock.
Man does a thousand good things
and no attention is paid to them,
but ii he -makes one mistake it is
flashed all over the world. A life
time may be spent in building up
a reputation tthat may be wrecked
in 1 moment. The world is a hur.sk
critic, exacting to a fault, and if
the father doesn't temper justice
with mercy we may fail to reack.

HOW hhD ISAD-
MIRAL SELFRIDGE?.
Philadelphia Press.
The Navy Department is trying:
to answer the question: ."How old
is Rear Admiral Thomas 0. Seli
ridge, retired?" Is he 99 or 100?
The records do not show and Rear
Admiral Selfridge wili'not tell. He
says it is nobody's, -business how:
old he is. But, as he entered the
navy in 1S1, and must have been
at least 15 years old at th.attio3er
the supposition is that he is be
tween 90 and 100. The AdmiralV:
oldest son, Rear Admiral Thomas
0. Selfridge, Jr., owns to being &
years. The senior Selfridge was
born in Hnbbardston, Mass..
SLEEP FOR CHILDREN!
New York Times.
In Sweden a committee was re
cently appointed by the Govern
ment for the purpose of ascertain
ing how many hours children f
various ages,ought to sleep in order
that they may be able to studv
properly.
According to the report forward
ed to the Minister of Education,
children who are 4 years old should
sleep 12 hours; children who are?
years old, 11 hours; children who
are 9 years old, 10 hours; children
who are from 12 to 14 years old,
from 9 to 10 hours, and those who
are from 14 to 21 years old, from S
to 10 hours.
It further points out that anaemia,
and weakness in children are fre
quently due to lack of sleep.
