THE FAME OF JUGGERNAUT.

This Idol Has Boen Worshiped About Two Thousand Years, and His Na tional Temple Is on the Sands of Puri—The Three Monster Cars. If I were asked to describe India the first remark that would spring from my lips would be, “It is a land of idols." It would be Impossible to compute the number of idols that there must l)e at the present time in India. Tin' Hindoos pretend to have 333,000,(MH) gods, and those are represented by Innumerable idols, so that we are quite bewildered with the thought of taking the ceusus of the idols of India. The population of the whole Indian empire Is now about SOO.OOOJJOO, and possibly the country contains ten times us many

idols us people.

Benares is the great center of the Idol making business, though in all parts of India the trade flourishes. Potters the day through may be seen In the sacred city molding images of clay for temporary use. Sculptors also may be found producing representatives of tbe gods in stone or marble. Carpenters, moreover, make great wooden Idols for the temples, and workers iu metal—goldsmiths, coppersmiths and brass workers—turn out more or less highly finished specimens lu their respective metals. When speaking of idols It should be borne iu mind that the images turned out by the potter, sculptor, carver or manufacturer are not considered sacred or tit to be worshiped until certain mystic words have been uttered over them by a priest. The ceremony of "the giving of life,” as it is called, to the Image is a very solemn affair, and when it is done the idol is regarded as holy and must ever afterward be approached and treated with the ut-

most reverence.

doo Iliad or trinity They are respectively Brahma. Vishnu and Siva. Of those it is stated the second person of the trinity only has been represented on this earth by human incarnations. Through one or all of these gods the Hindoos believe they may obtain salvation. Brahma represents the way of salvation by wisdom, Vishnu by faith and Siva by works. It is Immaterial which method Is adopted, as they all lead to the same goal. Juggernaut is perhaps the most famous name among all the Hindoo idols, inasmuch as his fame has gone forth into every land. His temple is situated on the sandy shores of Orissa, washed by the wild waves of the bay of Bengal. The worship of Juggernaut dates back nearly 2.000 years, and Orissa has been tbe holy land of tbe Hindoos from that time till the present

i day.

Sir William Hunter, who was one of the greatest authorities on things East Indian, says in a wonderfully graphic description of the temple of Juggernaut: “On the Inhospitable sands of Puri, a place of swamps and inundations, the Hindoo religion and Hindoo superstitutlon have stood at bay for eighteen centuries against the world. Here is the national temple whither the people flock to worship from every province of India. There is the gate of heaven whither thousands of pilgrims come to die, lulled to this last sleep by the roar of the eternal ocean." Well. I saw on one occasion that marvelous sight, the dragging of Jug gernaut's cur and the cars of his brother and sister. The three idols are inseparable, and ugly things they are, being nothing but huge logs of wood coarsely fashioned Into human shape, lint without arms or legs Juggernaut’s car stands forty-one feet high and has fourteen enormous wheels. The other two cars are just a little smaller. The great cars have to be dragged a certain distance—half a mile or more from the temple—and the god will not allow horses or elephants to undertake the work, but calls upon his faithful worshipers to do It themselves. Immense ropes, or, rather, cables, are attached to the cars, and nt the word of command from the priests thousands of men and even women and children rush forward and seize the ropes and range themselves In order and the next moment are straining and pulling at the cumbersome conveyances, which at length move with a heavy, creaking noise. Never shall I forget the sight. The i road was filled with tens of thousands I of lookers-on, all wild with excitement, I and the fanatics who held the ropes 1 were dragging the cars along with ! frenzied zeal. Every now and then there would be a stop that the men might rest I supposed, but instead of resting they took to Jumping in the air and to whirling themselves around like dancing dervishes and shouting at the top of their breath: “Victory!

Victory to Juggernaut!”

Once on a time infatuated worshipers would throw themselves under the wheels of the mighty car that they might 1* crushed to death, counting it a privilege and a Joy thus to perish Some might do It today If the paternal British government did not provide against such catastrophes by taking all due precaution.—John J. Pool, B. D, F. R. G. 8.. In Los Angeles Times.

Black-berries on the aunt hill this season are not very promising, only | season are very promisifug. Too hot for much visiting. The boys and girls of Warren tp. who have prepared themselves for high school, will be somewhat disappointed by there being no school in the township this coming winter. Our expense of transfering and hauling to another township will be so serious to our tax. payers that it is far better and cheaper to have a building and school of our own. Political strife should be excluded from our achools and churches and our advisory boards should be filled by men who give less heed to politics*

E. B. Lynch has added to his undertaking business a handsome new funeral car. The car is steel grey in color and is of the newest and most elegant design. Mr. Lynch, of course will retain his black car, but It is probable tlhat the new one will be used in the majority of instances. The steel grey car has about replaced the black cars over the country, and in most places are now generally 'used. Cars of this color are the up-

to-date cars.
