SEVERITY IN THIS PENANCE Hindu Pilorims Make Long Journeys With Most Extraordinary Method of Locomotion. An extraordinary Indian penitential pilgrimage takes place every year. Invariably on u Tuesday, usually in the first half of May. The penance consists In the Hindu penitent's measuring his length on the ground from his home to the temple, often a distance of many miles. The penitent throws himself on the ground at full length, nnd with 11 potsherd or 11 stone, makes a mark within reach of his Angers. Upon getting up he sets his feet on the mark, repents the process, continuing to do this, with alternate rising and prostration, to the end of his journey. The dress worn during the pilgrimage is exceedingly scanty, us the pilgrimage takes place during the hottest season of the year. If the journey Is likely to take two or three days, the penitent mny halt at night for food and rest, In which ease he sets up some murk to show where he left Ihe road, and resumes his Journey from that point on the morrow. Only men are permitted to perform the penance, but women and children are allowed to accompany them on foot, supplying them with food and fanning them with punkahs made of paltn leaves. Upon arriving at their goal the penitents present their offerings In money or kind to the attendant priests, who utter a few words of benediction. Every few years there are deaths from exhaustion and exposure during the pilgrimage, hut the enthusiasts are never deterred.—Detroit News.

Gratitude Means Recognition of Amount of Good Which Has Been Bestowed by Others. Gratitude menus that memory hu* coine to the aid of purpose, nnd that praise Is reinforcing prayer, (iralltude links the past with the future, the debt incurred with the duty to he performed, the service received with the service rendered. The iiuestlon, "What ought we to do for others?" can not receive tt proper answer until pains have been taken to weigh and value all that others have already | done for us. I’enevoletiee is largely an affair of memory and of the gratiI Hide that memory Inspires. The ' heneveh nee that Is most beneficent does not begin, ns some moralists seem to think, in a desire to do good to other people, hut in adequate recognition of the enormous ninount of good which oilier people have done to ourselves. Nine-tenths of what we have to give Is a gift bestowed upon us, and only when this is realized does altruism rest upon its proper ground, or feel the full force of the motives which Impel the Individual to the service of others. Divorced from gratitude, nil the social virtues would shrivel.—L. P. Jacks.

GHOSTS ROAM CASTLE Disturb Inmates of Lord Leith’s Residence in Scotland.

"Gr«en Lady" Is Seen to Widk Through Walls of Maid's

Room.

Aberdeen.—Humor nnd fact are strangely blended in a remarkable ghost story concerning Eyrie Castle, the Aberdeenshire residence of Lord Leith, which brings up to date an ancient legend of the house. The castle Is rich In legends of murder and revenge In the olden ‘lays, hut until recently little untoward events have been heard of for many a year. The rumor which has revived these stories is that recently masons and carpenters were called la lo remove a fungous growth front the wall of t||r> gun room, which Is situated In the obj. esi portion of the Preston tower, from which legend say* a former reigning lady repe'led an Invader with a deluge

of molten lend.

When Ihe wall was demolished a human skeleton was found among the nibble. It was Inlerred hi the village churchyard, and ever since it Is said It has manifested its displeasure i,.v moans, groans nnd mysterious knockIngs In every part of the ensile.

THOUGHT KANGAROO A BIRD Naturalist With Captain Cook Misled by Remarkable Speed Displayed by Australian Animal. A naturalist who accompanied Captain Cook on his famous voyage around the world mistook for a bird the first kangaroo he saw. This Is not likely to surprise anybody who has seen kangaroos In their native wilds, for their leaping powers are so wonderful that at full speed they really look as If they were tlylmr. A scientist, speaking of Ibis matter to the writer, said: "1 chanced to come across two-•old-man’ kangaroos, huge creatures, in the Australian bush, nnd measured the leaps of one of them. Thirty-two feet the tape line showed for each Jump, taking it from toeninrk to toemark. "It Is marvelous to see one of those great marsupials streaking across country in immense bounds, literally throwing Itself into the air with Its mighty hind limbs, and hardly seeming to touch the earth In Its tlight.”

WAGNl'A TO LLAD HAT TEAM IN HOOSIER SPEEDWAY PACE

First Failures Not Fatal. How often have we heard people say that if they had their lives to live over again they would do very differently at certain points! And. though I *

e could see that they thought they I meant what they said, we understood that ttiey did not mean it very seriously. find that a second chance at life would probably not yield it much better result tlnm the tirst one had. As a matter of fact not many of ns have ! made such fatal mistakes In life that we have not hud hundreds of second chances of overcoming very largely the handicap and disadvantage that they brought us. Indeed, the pathway of life for every man of us is strewn with second < hutices and new opportunities of making good. There Is this to be said however: a seeond ehnilee | Rare mny h<* a little harder to realize on* than a first one would have been. But to say thill a thing Is hard Is not to say anything nhmtt its possibility. A first mistake or a first failure may be bad. hut does not decide a life unless ! we let It.—Montreal Uatnily Herald.

’’Truth" Unadorned Covered With Blanket San I'lmielseo.—A very pretty young woman wandered from her room early one morning at the I’orter hotel out into the street am! imo Hie lobby of the Yuba lioiel, Ti block and a half

away.

Ordinarily this would have been unimportant, bat this woman wore no clothes. Tin* clerk at the Tuba hotel

protested.

“That’s all right," she replied "I’m Truth ami Truth should he

unadorned."

The clerk couldn’t see It that wav. He telephoned Charles Simpson, steward at the Central Kmergetn v hospital. Simpson came to the rescue with a

blanket.

"Truth" fought efforts to blanket her. saying It was a sin to concoal Trill li. but Simpson

was firm.

The girl Is tinder observation, b ss Intense, but more oi'.ielnl

than usual.

“Truth" was the only name she

of the creation of men from clay hy a woman deity. This goddess protects her creations from the flood hy saving Ziiigiddu (Noah), and the latter lauds in Paradise and eats of forbidden fruit of his own accord. There Is no Eve in this theory whatever. The Sumerians believed that ten patriarchs ruled some 300.00(1 years before the flood, that It was about 85.000 years thereafter before Cyrus entile down and conquered the kingdom. The historical tablets at the university iimsetitn arc the most elaborate in existence. No other records purport to give such a record of human existence.

AIR MAIL SERVICE REGULAR IN ITALY

Postal Department Doesn’t Like Innovation, But It Proves Its Worth.

The air mail service begun in Rome

during recent railway and postal strikes has proved such a success that the government Is making It permanent, charging an extra 0 cents fee for each letter up to 15 grammes. This fee is too small to cover working expenses and probably will be raised. Airships and small airplanes now ply regularly with malls and parcels between Rome and Milan, Rome

and Pisa. Naples and Foggiu. The ministry of transportation Is

having a friction with the ministry of posts, which sees through bureaucratic spectacles and is averse to modern methods. The latter ministry actually refused to accept mails brought to Rome hy one airplane because the list of mall hags had been made out by the pilot, who is not an authorized

post official.

All ofticial correspondence, the mnil of deputies and of large business firms Is going by airplane now, In spite of protests from the tnlnislry of posts.

MUSE OF LABOR SHORTAGE Difficulties of 1 raveling in Europe and Danger of Losing Their Money Ha* No Influence on Aliens Eager

to Return.

New York.—Wholesale re-emlgratlon of aliens in America begun his* April and Is continuing In ever growing numbers. Steamship ticket agents agree that fi.OOO are leaving for Eiiru|ie weekly, although the immigration Is confined to Italians and Belgians. 1 have been In contact with a great number of alien laborers In the United Sigtes since my return from Europe In January and I find Unit a great percentage or them me preparing tn leave the states, writes Joseph Szehenye! in the New York Times. Among the Hungarlans and those coming from the newly formed states In eastern Eg. rope, no per cent are about to return

to the old country.

The resultant labor shortage espe. , j dally Is being felt already, and employers of alien labor are forced to advertise continually in order to re place the hands leaving week after week. They are spending thon«ands of dollars on Advertisements in Slovak nnd Hungarian papers. Mining companies especially prefer Hungarian workers because they are Nteaii;, mil hard workers, doing Jobs no other* would do, and earning in most cases

up to $120 u week.

Causes of Re Emigraticn. The causes of th rcemlgrntlon mny he found in tin* follow-
