COLORS OF THE GODS.

Carious Superstitions of Oriental People. It was a bitter disappointment to me that I could not find time to visit Muttra, traditionally identified with the Gokulaor birthplace of Krishna, writes M. D. Conway. It would have been a satisfaction to see fqr myself whether there was anything in the general appearance of the place which, might be related to that legend which in form so closely resembles the New Testament account of the nativity of Christ, while in spirit it is so absolutely contrary to the moral connotations of the latter. It seems that the influences which surround the legend of Krishna correspond even to some which gradually invested the apocryphal traditions of Christ. Krishna is said to be a name, meaning black. He is, however, not painted black, but dark blue, and with a face distinct from the ordinary Hindoo face. I saw several representations of him which reminded me of the Bambino, at Rome, except that the Catholic image has a more Indian complexion than Krishna. It has often been remarked in Europe that black virgins or discolored images of the infant Jesus possess more sanctity for peasants than the most beautiful statues in metal or marble. It is no doubt the antiquity of these time-darkened effigies which has brought an accumulated fund of credit to their altars. In some cases it is probable that the credit of pre-Christian miracles surrounding some deity has passed to reconsecrated forms, like the virgin of Clery, which Louis XI. adored and at whose feet he is buried. There is little doubt at any rate that Krishna is an image referable to some race other than any now occupying the regions where he is worshiped. There are cases in which other Oriental gods and heroes are given a peculiar color. Thus, the hero Rama is sometimes painted green. Whether this is the result of surviving consecration of the “wearing of the green” by some ancient clan, or of the blue or black by another, or whether it is simply a desire to distinguish those of divine parentage from ordinary humanity, seems doubtful. It is, however, interesting to note a certain parallelism between Oriental and European developments. Celsus said that the narrative of the nativity would not seem so holy to the Christians if they found it in a legend concerning Jupiter. In reading the story of young Krishna among the milk-maids, their dances, and his marriage with some of them, Christians can only feel astonishment that such stories are painted and carved in temples. That some of Krishna’s worshipers, however, have regarded these things in a mystical light is suggested by the fact that .dances form no part of the pleasure or amitsement of the young Hindoos, and, although, as I have had too frequent occasion to remark, sensuality seems essentially related to much Hindoo idolatry,,it would appear to affect the rites of Krishna least. One must also guard himself against confusing this consecrated sensuality in the East with immorality. Nothing can be technically described as immoral which religion and custom sanction, however evil the effects may appear to those of other customs and principles. Jogendra Chandra Ghosh, in a learned essay on the “Joint Eamily Organization” of India,says: “Although the history and development of joint family life is unknown, yet a well and carefully directed volition, rather than a haphazard and spontaneous growth, may be presumed from the fact that the Hindoos of to-day look upon the five sons of Pandu and the four sons of Dasarath as model members of joint family society. ” Whether this includes the polyandrous relation of the sons of Pandit to their wife Draupadi is. not stated; but there are many signs that polyandry, whether legalized or not, is by no means regarded as a flagrant institution in this region.

A Feminine Paradise.

In tlie next world there will probably be two paradises—one for women, the other for men —because their respective iileaa of paradise are too far apart to admit of one heaven being mutually satisfactory. For example, Kong Branch is a female paradise, but the abject misery of the few men who find then’ way here is too plainly written upon their countenances to admit of any doubt. The hatred which men have for a fashionable watering-place is something phenomenal; and when they are beguiled into Doming by their female contingent,, they absolutely refuse to be amused and carefully refrain from enjoying themselves where the women can see Jihem. They chiefly haunt the hotel offices, and are apparently devoting themselves to the elucidation of the Presidential problem by a profound study of the newspapers. If there ever was a loud cry for Brown’s young men, it is at the gay watering places this year. Girls in piles —heaps of them—pretty, entertaining, with charming clothes, and with a lot of old women of both sexes to show them off to. It is enough to bring tears\ to the eyes of a statue. A drive along Ocean avenue here would make anybody believe the last census, which gave nearly a million more men than women to this country, is a gigantic swindle. There are at least a million more women than men at Long Branch alone—and every man here is bald-headed. That may be verified by actual count. —Letter in New York Express-Mail.

A Revolution in Fishing.

“I saw some experiments in a European aquarium some months ago,” said the iish authority, “that showed what fishing was coming to. The tank was darkened, in fact, the whole room was, and a man in a diver’s outfit entered, wearing one of the new electric lights on his helmet. The effect was curious. The tank was perfectly illuminated, but the most remarkable feature was the effect it had upon the fishes. One and all they crowded about the light, seemingly astonished at the strange appearance. The man carried a small scoop net with him, and with the greatest ease caught all the fish he wanted. If this could be used on the Grand Banks in 200 feet of stater there would be a revolution in fishing. The steamer of the United States Fish Commission has been trying some

curious experiments with long fishing lines that had electric lights placed just above the bait. These were more or less successful. ,One trouble that is shown in the tanks at. Fulton Market is that the fish become habituated to the light, and after awhile will not approach it, but in the open sea, where new fish are continually being met with, this would not be an obstacle. —New York Sun.

The Docile American Horse.

It lias long been accepted as a theory by our transatlantic kinsmen that vice # animals is almost always the result unkindness and maltreatment received by them from their human companions, and that the paucity of vicious horses in the United States is to be explained by the gentleness, and, so to speak, the familiirity with which the noble animal is treated in every part of the Union. There can be little doubt that in no country is the intelligence of quadrupeds more developed and cultivated than in the United States, where it is well understood that by kindness alone can their characteristics, traits, dispositions, and qualities be fully drawn forth. Nothing is more common, for instance, than to see an American horse harnessed to a buggy and standing alone in New York—his master having entered a shop—by the curbstone’s edge, in the midst of the crush and turmoil of Br.oadway, one of the most crowded and noisy thoroughfares upon the face of the earth. Before descending from his buggy the master says a word or two to his horse, and leaves him standing in the street with-, out restraint. The sagacious animal, whose eyes are not shielded b'v blinkers, and who is ..not tormented by a Procrustean hearing-rein, understands perfectly that he is expected to wait until his master has transacted his business; and wait, accordingly, he does, sometimes for hours at a time, and without regard to the winter's cold or summer’s heat. Again, in the wildest parts of the Western and Southern States there is not a farmer who thinks anything of driving his horses by night over a wooden bridge full of holes, caused by many planks having dropped into the stream beneath. The careful beast, who may or may not have crossed the bridge on many previous occasions, feels his way in the darkness, and his head having been surrendered to him by the driver, steps as carefully and with as much precision as a dancing master. Whenever, indeed, a horse is found to he possessed of a violent, or, to use an old Yorkshire word, a “mischancy,” temper in the United States, the odds are in favor of his being' imported from abroad. —London Telegraph.

Great Rat-Catching.

Duchaletet gives an account of probably the biggest rat-catching bout on record. An old proprietor of one of the slaughter-houses near Paris had a certain place entirely surrounded by walls, with holes only large enough to admit the passage in and out of the vermin. The carcasses of several dead horses were placed in this inclosure. The holes were quickly and quietly stopped after a small army of rats had gone into the dead-horse banquet. Duchaletet entered with a lighted torch in one hand, a club in the other. He could not hit amiss; wherever he struck he did good execution. When he had finished 2,600 carcasses awaited burial.- ,- ;v . ■ In tlie time of George 111. there used to be a royal rat-catcher, and in 1862 the Board of Health of Bristol gave a rat-catcherJf'2o a year for his services in cleaning rats out of the slaughterhouses. Two celebrated rat-catchers, Shaw and Sabin, claimed they each caught from eight to ten thousand a year. One of them had literary pretensions, and wrote an amusing book on the noble art of rat-catching. They haye many modes of catching them. One to imitate the noise they make; another to toll them into a room with food. The method of catching them with ferrets and terriers is well known. — Par{s letter.

Bored to Perfection.

He had been talking steadily for an hour to the man in the same seat with him, and observed; “ Well, I am now on my way to Boston, where I intend to open a broker’s office.” “ But have you determined to do so?” asked the other. “ Yes, 1 think so, but why ?” “ Well, I was thinking you would be successful in the artesian well business.” “ What makes you think so ?” “ Oh, nothing, only you understand boring so thoroughly.” And then neither of them spoke until the city was reached,

A Successful Bootblack.

Sir John Macdonald, the present Premier of Canada, is said to have started in life as a bootblack in Glasgow, says the Indianapolis Journal. He emigrated to Canada at an early age. When only eighteen the daughter of a wealthy Canadian fell in love with him, and he ran away with her to a clergyihan, who consented to marry them. The bride’s father, after a time, forgave this escapade, and started him in busmess. Thence he drifted into politics, and displayed so much shrewdness and tact that in a short time he was a leading member of the minis terial party in the Dominion Parliament.

When the Mason & Hamlin tom’pany announced the - accomplishment of a great improvement in Upright Pianos, which they would soon give. to tho'public, much was expected. because of the vast improvements which had been affected by them in reed instruments, and the acknowledged superox-, cellence of their organs. These expectations are fully justified by upe pianos which they are producing, which have extraordinary purity aftd refinement of tone.

An Artist.

, The fitful hare was beaten in the race by the plodding tortoise. Even so in the race of life, steady, intelligent application outruns the wayward genius that rests to-day and hastens on the morrow. Garcia, the famous musicteacher who taught Jenny Lind to sing, once uttered a remark concerning his pupil which youth should study. He said: “Jenny Lind was not much of an actress, and her only genius was in her power of continuous application. The reason of her enormous progress in so short a time was this.: That after a first and thorough explanation, she knew how to apply herself in the right way to study. Her medium notes were very had, but slie used them so skillfully that great critics often spoke of the quality and beauty of every register of her voice. This is to be what may truly be called an artist.”

An Editor’s Testimonial.

A. M. Vaughan, editor of the Greenwich Review, Greenwich, Ohio, writes: “Last January I met with a very severe accident, caused by a runaway horse. I used almost every kind of salve to heal the wounds, which to running sores, but found nothing 'to do me any good till I was recommended Henry's Carbolic Salve. I bought a box, and it helped me at once, and at the end of two months I was completely well. It is the best salve in the market, and I never fail of telling my friends about it, and urge them to use it whenever in need.’’

He refers to the entire Western and Southern oonktry to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have beenouredby a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health.

Therefore it is important that remedial agents should be at hand to be used in an emergency, when we are made to feel the excruciating agonies of pain, or the depressing influence of disease. Such a remedial agent exists in that old Reliable Family Remedy, PERRY DAVIS’ Pain-Killer It was the first and is the only perma- . nent Pain Reliever. ITS MERITS ARE UNSURPASSED.

They usually oeeurred in the morning, and averaged fully a pint of clear blood at a time. I had night sweats every night, and my weight, which was 168 n,s. when I was first taken sick, gradually ran down to t2B tts. My nights were almost sleepless, owing to severe pain in my breast, back and shoulders, and a continued cough. I was so sick that my physicians gave up all hope of my recovery. I then began to try medicines that I saw advertised, but without any lasting benefit. At last, by the advice of a friend, I concluded to use vour remedies. I began by using all your medicines as you direct, and in a very short time all my worst symptoms left me and I l>cgan to gain in every way. As my appetite came back 1 gained slosh very fast. From June to November the increase was over fifty pounds. Mv present weight is 174 pounds, and has been about that since my recovery several years since. I was told by my physicians that I had Consumption, and I believe myself I had, and that your medicines cured me. Yours very truly, J. C. ELLIOTT, October 2flt!i,TSsrt.- Ilinghaiuton, N. Y. P. O.

Dn, Schenok : l Dear Sir—ln looking over one of yoHr books, in which I find so many letters recommending your medicines, I have thought to myself now negligent I have been in not making my case public, that others might take warning. In visiting my friends in New Jersev, a short time since, my attention was drawn to the manv advertisement- in largo letters on different building*and fences: Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.. As I looked at -these, tears of gratitude fell from my eyes, and I thought what a blessing that such a man as Dr. Schemdt should be sent among iw. Twentv-sevcn years ago I contracted a heavy cold, which settled on my lungs. I took mariv things that were recommended for colds, but toothing seemed to relieve me. I made gallons of syrups with many different kinds of herbs; still I got no better. Mv husband would consult doctors, but they gave him no encouragement, only said I must die. Ihad then been afflicted over seven years. One of my sons came in one day and said to me, “ Mother, I have heard of a Dr. Schenck that is making great cures in Consumption; will you see him?" I had given np all hone of recovery, but he insisted upon it. Consequently I was taken over to Dr. Schenck, then in Bond street. He examined my lungs and gave me encouragement. I took the Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tunic and Mandrake Pills about two months, and felt as well as ever I did. I have enjoyed good health ever since, and if any of niy family take cold it is our onlv medicine. lam this <lay 67 years of age, and can walk and attend to business as well as many at 40.

Narmandin Jr., of Woonsocket, R,I. Dr. Schenck & Son, Philadelphia: Dear Sirs—l have been cured of what I believe to have been Liver Complaint in its worst form , which, before I got relief, affected my lungs quite seriously. I had used the medicines prescribed by a physician of tills place for a long time without benefit before I began to take your remedies. I first heard of them by your advertisement in the Pn'riot of this place, and, concluding to use them. I purchased a bottle of Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic. They gave me great relief, and by the time I had used them up I felt almost well. So I stopped using them for some timer but I soon found that the disease was not broken up. I then got more medicine, and continued using it until I was well. My symptoms were continuous cough, night sweats, raising of rpatter streaked with blood, soreness in my lungs and at the pit of the stomach, which was also vervmnch swollen at times. I was so weak that I could not go up-stairs without help, and was confined to the house for many weeks. I was very much reduced in flesh and had no appetite, and nothing X ate seemed to digest; Since niy recovery I have recommended your medicines to a great many, among others a lady who had what every one supposed to be Consumption of the lungs for four years. She has entirely recovered by the use of them, and is now a strong, healthy woman. I can also refer to others in this plate who have been greatly benefited by their use. Yours truly, E. NARMANDIN, Jr. Woonsocket, R. 1., June Ist, 1881. The Rev. Joseph S. Lame, Pastor of 18th Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, Writes Under Date of Sept. Ist, 1881: Five years ago I was a great sufferer from Dyspepsia. Bronchial Affection and Pulmonary trouble. I tried many remedies without receiving any benefit. I was so sick that I thought many times that I should be compelled to give up preaching. lat last procured Dr. Schenck’s remedies ; in a short time they restored me to perfect health, and I have remained well to this day. I believe them to have great curative properties. Why I Have the Utmost Confidence in Dr. J. H. Schenck and His Medicines. During the past two years my mother and brother have died of Consumption. I was myself quite unwell most of this time, and when, shortly after their death, I was attacked with cough and severe hemorrhages. I naturally concluded that I was destined to go with the same disease. I immediately consulted a physician who made a specialty of lung diseases. After examining me he said that he thought my lungs were sound and that I would soon recover. In less than a week after this I had another severe hemorrhage. Thinking that my physician had made a mistake in my ease, I consulted another doctor. He thought mv lungs affected, and prescribed for me for a long tittle. I got no better under hts treatment, but generally worse. My cough was very bad. my appete entirely gone, I had severe pain in my right side, and for months I did not sleep more than two or three hours in a night. My tongue was heavily coated and I-had a bad taste in my mouth. I had the headache almost all the time. Feeling that something must be done. I at last concluded to consult with Dr. Schenck. the physician who, I think. 1 have good reason to believe to be the best in the treatment of lung disease. I went to his office in Boston and was examined. He found my left lung quite badly diseased and my liver seriously affected. He told me that I could be cured if I would follow his directions. Of course I consented to do so, and I very soon saw that my confidence in his ability was well placed. I took the Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup all at ona time, as directed by him. and within one month pay 'worst symptoms were gone. I went to see the doctor on his next visit to Boston, which was one month after the first time I saw him, and he said, “ Only continue with the medicine and you will surely get well."
