SACRED THREADS AND cones.
Mpst be Made by a Brahman and Worn
. Next to the Skin.
The sacred thread of the Brah-mins
is well known; it is a castle distinction
assumed at an early age, and never
parted with. It must be made by a
, Brahmiu, and should consist of three
strands, each 'of a different color,
forty-eight yards in length, doubled
and twisted together twice, the ends
tied in knots. It must be worn next
the skin, over the left shoulder, hang-
ing down to the thigh on. the right side.
The three castes of the Hiniloos are
distinguished by the material of these
treads—cotton for the Brabmins,
hemp for the warriors, and wool for
the artisans. The Parsees also weal
the sacred thread, and boys of 7 or 9
are invested with it, the threads used
being made always of fibers of the
suru tree. Monier Williams describes
the sacred girdle of the Parsees as
made of seventy-two woolen threads,
forming‘a fat band, which is twined
three times around the body, and tied
in two peculiar knots, the secret of
which is known only to the Parsees.
The use of “medicine cords” is com-
mon among North American Indians.
Mr. Bourke describes those worn by
the Apaches. These consist of one,
two, three and four strands to which
are attached shells, feathers, beads,
rOL-k—c1ystal, sacred green stones, and
other ézl-JlCleS, doubtless employed sys-
tematically. —Ch1ambers J on rnal.
OPERATIONS OF THE FEMININE MIND
An Undue Tenderness Suddenly Displayed
by the Spinstcr.
The operation of the feminine mind
sometimes—perhaps always—passes
understanding. . '
An Evanston spinster who presides
over a line residence in that classic
suburb sent for the hostler the other
day and gave him instructions to
drown a litter of four half grown kit-
tens which had become' somewhat
troublesome. Three of the kittens
were easily captured, but the
fourth run under the barn, and the
hostler, in trying to dislodge it with a
pole. unintentionally brokeone of the
animal’s legs.
Thereupon three of the kittens Were
given their quietus .in the lake, but
the fourth was taken into the house
and tendeily cared for with splints
and bandages.
“But why not let me put this critter
out of misery, mum,‘like the rest of
’em?” asked the feline executioner.
"What!” excl-aimed Miss Prim.
“Drown a kitten ifl that Icondition?
Never! Well doctor her up a little
and she’ll be around again all right in
a few days.”
‘ But what are you going to do with
hei then, mum?” inquired the per-
plexed hostler
“W911, after that ’ said the spin-ster
w: th a sign, “I suppose you’ll have to
drown her."—Chicago Times-Herald.
,EMERS’ON AND RUSKIN.
l‘heir Criticism of Each. Other Not {Ex-
' actly Flattering. .
Emerson visited Ruskin once-upon a
a time. Their mutual impressions,
when put side by side, are amusing.
They gave the following opinions to
their friends after the visit: . »
What Ruskin wrote: “Emerson came
to my rooms a day or two ago. I
found his mind a total blank on mat-
ters of art, and had a fearful sense
of the whole being of him as a gentle
cloud—intangible.” ,
What Emerson said:*"‘I had seen
Ruskin at Oxford, and had been
charmed by his manner in the lecture
room I found myself wholly out of
sympathy with Ruskin’s views of life
and the world. I wonder such a genius‘
can be possessed by so black a devil.
I can not pardon him for a despond-
ency so deep. It is detestable in .a
man of such powers, in a poet, a seer,
such as he has been. Children are
right with their everlasting hope.
'l‘imon is always inevitably wrong.”-
Boston Globe.
The Most Remarkable Needle.
A remarkable needle is owned by
Queen Victoria. Indeed. it is likely
that there is no other needle so wonder-
ful in the whole world. ' It represents
the column of Trajan in miniature.
This Roman Column is adorned with
many scenes in. sculpture which tell
of the heroic deeds of the Emperor
I‘Iajan.
On the little needle are pictured
scenes from the life of Queen Victoria,
but the pictures are so small that it is
necessary to use a, magnifying glass in
order to see them. The needle can be
opened. It contains a number of
needles of smaller size, which also
contain micrbscopic pictures—Golden
Days.

AN ARAB COOK.
An Experience of a New York Man which
Proved Satisfactory._
“When I was in Syria,” said a New
York physician who lived in that coun‘
try, for several years, “I had an Arab
boy. for a groom and he became very
much attached to me. I could talk to
him in his own language, and he knew
that I 'was aware when he was lying.
Arabs of that class are not truthful,
you know. It was nearly a year ago
that I returned to New Y01k leaving
when he tuined up. here just a month
later and looked me up.
and at first I didn’t know what to do
with him. I didn’t want a groom, but
I did need a cook. Every Arab is
something of a cook and I decided that
I would try this boy as a cook. He
learned readily,
or seven months he has been doing all
of our cooking, and doing it Well. My
Wife and I are the only ones in our
household who can talk Arabic with
him, and he is very grateful. He has
become a very superior cook, and I
think that there is very little danger of
this leaving us. This is a solution of
the domestic problem that never had
occurred to me until this boy followed
me to New York, and then I wondered
why I hadn’t thought of it b9fore_leuv-
in-g Syria. I might have brought over
half a dozen Arab cooks for my
friends.”-—New York Sun.
