MARCH THROUGH FIRE

Ceremony of a Sect of Brahmins In Honor of Gode of Fire and Water. Six thousand Hindu* and & select tew English officials have recently witnessed in the neighborhood of Madras a remarkable religious ceremony, the principal actors being Soivrastas, a sect of Brahmins, k The festival was called “the march through fire," and it ir appropriately enough named. The proceedings were in honor of Brahma and Vishnu, the gods of water and fire. Preparations for the ceremony had been going on for a month. A trench twenty-three feet long and nineteen feet deep was dug, and in it a fire was kindled. 41 sunrise forty fanatics, who were to demonstrate their asbestos nature, slowly marched around the furnace bearing the curious idols. The Soivrastas were clothed in yellow tunics, and without hesitation entered train of which was “Govindaf Govinr da!” After walking around this artificial Gehenna tnree times they emerged apparently none the worse for their experience, and' have established an unassailable claim for sanctity among their people.

Geometrical Puzzles.

Three geometrical puzzles are shown here. The puzzle in each case

is to begin, at some one point and trace over .all of the lines without

lifting the pencil and without touching upon the same ground twice, ex-

cept where two or more lines intersect, eventually returning to the starting point

Indian Burial Methods.

The Indian method of burial was to fasten a corpse upon cross-sticks supported on poles in the ground or In the bought of the tree-tops. Here the air and the elements silently disposed of the lifeless clay, until In a year or so but little remained to bear evidence of a tomb —perhaps some broken sticks in the top and a few scattered beads or human bones beneath the burial place. I cannot conceive of anything more pitifully gruesome than an Indian, burial ground of this type. I have seen them In the fall of the year when the winds were shaking and swaying the platforms and wringing the leafless trees, flaunting the burial rags like signals of distress from the dead, and vhlstllng through and over the whitening bones and neglected remains of those who had many a time withstood the tempest and storm when the breath of life stirred within them.

Long Kid Gloves Ancient.

The wearing of long kid glovee Is by no means a modern fashion. Aa long ago as 1675 they were worn, for there is a description of a pair of white kid wedding gloves twenty-two Inches long that were worn drawn Mi above the dibow. and a famous French authority on historical costumes states that In the time of the empire long gloves were not only fashionable but were ruinously expensive. No woman who' made any .aspirations to being well dressed could possibly got on with less than a new pair every day.

Hie Idea of Americans.

Henrik Ibsen was once asked hie idea of Americans. “Well,” replied Ibsen smiling, "It is my idea that the average American baby, five or six months old, eite in his mother’s lap and eyes his own' cradle to 4ee If he can’t lnyent a better one, or at least suggest some Improvement"

A Good Word for Bank Clerks.

One of the new things proposed at the bankers’ meetings had apsMaSreference to bank clerks. The bank clerks in the country will be pleased to know that the new thing may go through before the time of the next convention. The new pian is to ad-“ mft the Banks Clerks’ Association as part of the Bankers’ Association and give all the tellers and clerks ,a chance to attend the conventions and have a voice In the business. "And why not?” said a cashier of a big New York Bank, while we sat with cashiers of other banks throughout the country. “The paying-teller is, in fact, almost as important a man in any bank as the cashier. He can break a bank quicker than any other one man on the premises. By dint of faultless memory he ‘bolds his cage.’ In the five hours of banking the paying-teller cashes perhaps thousands of checks. At a single glance he must know whether the signature on a check is genuine. The teller is also a careful student of the human face. If he does not know the faces of his customers as well as the faces of their clerks, he may some day cripple, if not break a bank. In the great banks in the large cities the paying-tellers sometimes have as much as five or six millions In their direct charge. That there> are wondrously few betrayals of trait speaks volumes for the high average of honesty among the hundred thousand or more bank clerks of the country.” _ , ——

Keep Open China’s Door.

Our merchants are befog roused so the importance of the Chinese trade, and they would view with deep con* cern any and all political obstacles to Its maintenance and expansion. Thb feeling is likely to find expression in the action of the American government. American manufacturers to-day do not take the trouble to pack their goods properly or send them oat in the sizes desired by the Chinese, but this stiff-necked lack of business sense is disappearing slowly, and our merchants are becoming aroused to the Importance of this trade, which has grown without government encouragement and which hag such a future. There is no reason to complain of this governmental indifference. The United States and the other powers favor the open door, and if they are wise they will encourage the empire to take long steps In administrative and governmental reform, the development of the resources of China and the improvement of the welfare of the people. To do this will add to China’s strength and position as a selfaespecting government ahd aid her in preparing to resist possible foreign aggression in the seeking of undue rnd exxclusive proprietary privileges. Thus no foreign aid will be required to enforce the open door policy of equal opporunity for all.

Figuring the Railroads.

Has not much legislation by the State been enacted with no view whatever to aiding the railroads in solving the great problems which confront them,, and will snch legislation in the quiet hour, seem excusable, from any point of view, particularly that which may be found after painful processes to be actually Invalid? Legislation affecting the vast transportation necessities and interests of a unified country should, like that of older countries, protect as well as supervise; for duty is reciprocal and is not bounded by. State lines. As a Federal judge has recently pointed out, legislation by one State may have the effect of subjecting an adjoining State to discriminations. Bjonflicting legislation by the States reults in chaos, and it has already come to pass that the ensuing Impairment to oredlt has not only retarded development in such States, but legitimate aspirations for development in other States, which are as truly part of a united country, have been, so far as can now be seen, indefinitely postponed.

Our National Resources.

The falling oft of exports to tha United States from Great Britain and Germany Is making itself felt in thoqe countries. There Is a steady beeline of industrial activity in both countries, but more especially In Germany, where speculative conditions were similar to those In the United States, and there was undue stimulation as a result of protective tariff rules. Our great natural resources duririg. times of Industrial stagnation, suable us to endnre temporary setbaoks without undue depression. We know that other nations dspend largely upon the products of our fields and mines and that our farmers who labor on top of the ground pud our delvers who burrow beneath will pull as out of the speculative wreck in good time. This Certainty as to the bed-rock foundation of prosperity l n the United Stmtee begets confidence. Confidence once restored the nation will go forward ■|» | * With a buoyancy of spirit that its material sdvnnoemsct son.
