'THE HOME OF BUDDHA.
STRANGE SCENES IN THE ANCIENT
CITY' OF BENARES.
Worshipers Bathing Together in the
, Sacred Waters of the Ganges—The
( Bathing Ghats—The Funeral Pyre—The
' Priests and Devotees.
About 500 miles from its mouth on the left
bank of the Ganges, the great sacred river of
the Hindu people, to propitiate which only a
few years ago mothers were wont to offer up
their babes, is the city of idols and the home
of idolatry, Benares. It is to the Hindu
what Mecca is to the Mohammedan, and a
pilgrimage to it sometime during his life is the
necessary 'journey of every true Indian pagan.
Though there are no historical records to
prove it, it is generally conceded that it is one
of the, if not the most ancient city in the
world, and that even when Rome was found-
ing Benares was centuries old.
It is most peculiarly native in its streets, its
buildings and its inhabitants, and, of all
places in India, it is the place to see the abo-
riginal habits, customs and people. It num-
bers its temples in the thousands, but its
shrines are so many that no attempt is made
to number them. The sacred monkey runs
up and down the walls and over the altars of
the temple of Durga Kund and the sacred
bulls and cows wander about that of Anna-
pura and feed on the garlands that the
worshipers cast before them. Just outside
the city is the spot made sacred by Buddha’s
presence, and the tanks in which he bathed
himself, his garments, and his religious ves-
sels, said to have been protected from the con-
tamination of man by fiery dragons. Benares
is the religious seat of India, and might not
inap ropriately be called the capital of
hen msm.
BENARES' nA'rnINo ours.
But notwithstanding its many temples and
shrines with their wonderful carvings, its
little narrow streets and lofty buildings, its
curious bazaars, by far the most interesting
part of Benares are the bathing ghats as seen
from a boat sailing up and down the sacred
Ganges. Here one can spend hours and not
tire, for there is a panorama as changing as a
kaleidoscope, and whose pictures are as bril-
liant as an artist’s imagination can paint
them. for every day a. large proportion of the
inhabitants, high caste and low, go down to
the river to bathe in and to worship the divine
stream as it goes rolling on its way to the
ocean, and the banks lined and the water
filled with men, women and children are a
sight never to be forgotten.
Here an old, gray haired man feebly washes
his shrunken legs and arms in the cleansing
and divine water. At his side stands a young
Hindu matron, whose wet garment clings to
her body and show perfectly her well formed
limbs. A Hindu dandy, almost naked, sits
only a few feet away on the bank combing his
long, oily locks and admiring himself ih‘a
little mirror, which he holds in one hand. A
powerful, athletic looking man stands not far
away swinging with all his might a pair of
primitive Indian clubs, while a poor old hag
comes out of the cold water and exposes her
withered breast to the warm rays of the sun.
Little boys and girls run into the water,
splash about, and then run out again and roll
their wet bodies in the dust or lie down upon
the warm stone steps that lead down to the
water. On the top step sits motionless a
chubby infant whose mother has washed him
and set him up there to dry.
A DARK noun Arnnonxrn.
A young girl walks trippingly down to the
edge of the water and daintfly puts her well
shaped foot, the toes of which are perhaps
covered, though not adorned with rings, into
the water as though to feel its temperature,
and then suddenly draws it out as if it turned
out to be a little cold. But at last sho plunges
boldly in, and that wonderful river that has
witnessed more sacrifices or murders than
any other body of water in the world re-
ceives her beneath its surface, above which a
second later she emerges like a young mer-
maid and, like the dark hued Aphrodite,
Shaka the drops of ‘water from her hair.
Down the bank come four men carrying on
a stretcher a dead body, with only a cloth
thrown over it, so thin that through it can be
seen distinctly the outlines of the corpse.
They pile up wood, place the corpse upon it,
pile on more wood, and after a few muttered
words light the funeral pyre, while the friends
and relatives of the dead sit around and watch
the body as it burns in the open air. The
wood drops down and one sees a leg half con-
sumed or an arm burned in two. But the at-
tendants pile on more wood and the burning
and the watching go on. When all has been
consumed the last few ashes are cast into the
river. Down to the water comes a high costs
Brahmin woman clad in brilliant garments
and attended by numerous servants, for all
alike must bathe in the sacred stream.
At intervals along the bank, on raised plat-
forms, sit the priests, by far the most intelli-
gent looking of the great throng. And when
they come out these priests paint the fore-
heads of the devotees with peculiar markings,
accept their offerings and encourage them in.
their idolatrous practices. 011’ they go to
some favorite temple to worship some idol
and make way for the new comers who wish
tobatho in the sanctified stream. And the
divine river goes on in its courseas it has
done for centuries, receiving the devotions of
the faithful, who wash themselves in its
waters, and perhaps .ejoicing that a higher
civilization haspu‘ astoptoa practice that
made it the misunscious cause of many a
mother‘s anguish and worship.—Cawnpore

The Easter Island Images.
Lieut. Stone, who secured the prehistoric
stone image from Easter island for the
Smithsonian institution while attached to the
Mohican, stated to a reporter that the image.
which is now on its way here, is about 8 feet
high, 4 feet wide and 3 feet thick. It is
roughly carved or hewed. A head of another
image was also secured, and some of the oili-
ccrs obtained by purchase other curiosities,
which could not be obtained elsewhere, which
the Smithsonian will probably take off their
hands. The images, he said, are scattered all
over the island, although many of them have
been thrown from their pedestals and broken.
It was customary for the natives to erect
them over the cemeteries. They' would bury
their dead in cells with stone walls on three
sides and with an inclined wall of earth in the
rear. They would cover over the burial cells
and form a top of fiagstones to the platform,
on which would be placed from three to a
dozen Images overlooking the sea, according
to the size of the platform.
The images were made from conglomerate
stone in the side of a crater and hewn with
stone axes, and by cutting through a single
stratum the image could be easily separated
from the next stratum and then moved on an
incline and erected. The images are of differ-
ent sizes, the largest one being about 70 feet
long, but this was never removed and lies in
its bed in the side of the crater where the
work was commenced. The statue secured
by the Mohican was found about two miles
from the shore. It took about eighty men
two days to bring it down 011 rollers. Lieut.
Stone said the present inhabitants know
nothing about the images or the' fresco deco-
rations of the houses, but they intuitively
bury their dead in close proximity to those
statutes—Washington Star.
Good News for the Britishers.
Two young men left Chicago a few weeks
since to go into business in London, England.
They intend starting in the world’s metropo-
lis an American lunchel'y like those of the
Kohlsaats and others in Chicago—places
wherein the lunchers sit on high stools in
'front of big counters and cat sandwiches, hot
cakes, pies, pastry, pork' and beans, etc., all
clean, wholesome and cheap. quickly served
and presenting the attractivenes of an al-
mcst endless variety. The young men in-
tend making their London lunchery as thor~
oughly American as possible, with mince pie,
cider, pumpkin pie, :pork and beans, buck-
wheat cakes, oyster pies and other dishes dis-
tinctively Yankecish. They have a capital
of only $2,500 between them, but expect to
reap a rich harvest from their efforts to show
the Londoners a few tricks in the lunching
line. Chicago, by the way, was the pioneer
in this model form of lunchery, and to this
day carries on the business in a state of per-
fection reached by none of the imitators in
other cities. ~Chicago Herald.
A Very Young Merchant.
Some odd facts are occasionally found just
beneath a most commonplace surface. Hap-
pening in a large hat and cap establishment-—
wholesale—tho other day, I inquired for the
proprietor. A boy about 11 years old was
pointed out to me. “But I want to see the
proprietor,” I said. “I am the proprietor of
this store—what can I do for you i” exclaimed
the lad. And, sure enough, invcsfigution
proved that he was the actual owner of the
establishment, and nominally the head of the
firm. His father had owned the store, but,
having other business as well and not wishing
to carry them both in his own name, present-
ed iho hat and cap establishment to his ll
year old son and placed the boy in charge.
Of course the father still exercises general
control, but the legal head of the firm, signal‘
of checks, keeper of the combination of the
safe and man of authority is the son, un-
doubtedly the youngest wholesale merchant
n Chicago—Chicago Herald.

Paper—Secret of 'Rapid Watch Bo-
pairing-«Quick Divorces.
“While you wait I”
It is now many years since this expression
was made popular by a down town hatter,
who advertised to “block your but while you
wait, for fifty cents,” but it still retains
its value in a commercial sense, and has been
appropriated by the manufacturing world
generally throughout the lerlgth and breadth
of the land. As originally applied to the
hattcr’s business it was ridiculed, laughed at,
and criticised perhaps more than any other
expression of the kind, unlem it be the oft
quoted “boots blacked inside,” and yet to-day
it is an important line in the advertisements
of nearly every manufacturing interest in
the United Strtes. .Do you want a pairof
trousers, a suit of clothes, a shirt, your shoes
soled and heeled, a new mainspring in your
watch, a set of false teeth, a house built—do
you want anything that can be made by the
hand of man—you can get it “while you
wait.”
At a certain baberdusher’s shirts can be had
to order, made after any pattern, in any size,
guaranteed to fit and ready to wear while the
customer is getting shaved around the corner.
“It is‘ accomplished by having ready. cut
sleeves. yokes, bosoms, bands and bodies al-
ways on hand. A capable cutter with a few
flashes of his big shears will correct the de-
fects of any of the parts, skilled operators
will run parts through the sewing machine in
a twinkling, while a patent washer, I-inser,
wringer, dryer and ironer will turn the shirt
out ready to be put on, and all inside of
twenty minutes. ,
WHILE YOU READ THE PAPER.
In a certain street, within the shadow of
police headquarters, there is a concern that
will solo and heel your shoes while you look
over the columns of the daily paper and de-
termine to what place of amusement you will
go in the evening. The tailors on the Bowery
who will measure a customer for apair of
pants, cut, trim and make them and pres
them while he is taking his. lunch are numer-
ous, while those who will turn out a full suit
of clothes while the customer is taking in
some of the theatres near by are quite as
many. _
Dentists, who have in stock all kinds, va-
rieties and qualities of plates, and will fit a
patient’s mouth with 1‘. partial or full set of
teeth in less time than it once took to draw a
single tooth, abound 011 Eighth, Sixth and
Third avenues, as well as some of the cross
streets. in ‘Chicago there is a dentist who
advertises to furnish new and full sets of
teeth, guaranteed to give sails faction, by mail
'or express, and sends‘the same to remote
points on approval. A firm of builders in
Michigan will ship at once on receipt of order
any size, kind or variety of a frame structure
that may be desired. Parties intending to
locate in Florida or at the sea shore are
especially requested to send for a descriptive
circular. These houses are built in sections
and shipped as they are built. An hour’s
work, the proprietors say, will make any
changes that a customer can possibly want.
Several poisons who will summer at Asbury
Park and Ocean Grove this year, it is under-
stood, will introduce these ready made homes
there early in the season. The same manner
of houses wa's prepared for the late Greely re-
lief expedition.
A SECRET or WATCH CLEANING.
The secret of cleaning and repairing
watches while you wait is, according to the
assertion of the manufacturers, that the en-
tire movement is taken out and a new one of
the same kind is substituted. Now that most
of the movements sold are made by machin-
ery and of standard sizes, just as the cases of
a. watch are made, it is easy to see how this
can be done. Persons having a J urgemen or
any other valuable movement, however,
would do well to pause before they have a
watchmaker repair their timepieces while
they wait. Still, there are parts of a watch
. movement that can be duplicated at almost a
moment’s notice without affecting its value.
such as pinions, ratchets, gear wheels and
screws.
Tho science of cutting. fitting and trimming
ladies‘ garments has progressed to such an
extent that adrcssmaker very often makes
an entire suit for a customer while she is
finishing a shopping tour, and, as is often-
times done by men’s tailors, habitmakers cut,
fit: and make dresses while a customer waits in
tho parlors. Printers will prepare a form for
a job, make it ready, and run off an order
while a customer writes a. letter, and recently
the wribcr had a card engraved and printed
while he selected a wedding invitation for :1
friend. Until recently the case and dispatch
with which a man could get a divorce in
some of the westem courts was set forth in
the assertion “that railroad trains stopped
thirty minutes at certain towns, where all
who desired could secure a divorce while they
waited.” Without going tot-his extiemc. it
is safe to say that today a man can get al-
most anything while he waits. ~Ncw York

BURYING A MAN TWICE.
A Country Undertaker Relates Ills Ex-
perience—A Director's “Expressions."
“I had a funny experience years ago,” re-
marked a"c00ntry undertaker. “I got pay
for burying a man twice. It was this way:
A man had been fished up out of the river
and scnttoour house to ,bury. That night
about 10 o’clock in came two women, a
mother and daughter, named Smith, living
011 the south side. They asked to see the
drowned man, and as quick as I lifted the
cloth that covered his face the old lady threw
up both hands and screamed, ‘That’s him;
that’s my poor husband.’ The young lady
identified him, too, but didn’t seem to feel
very bad. The next morning the family
lawyer came to me and gave orders for the
burial. The old man, it seemed. had consid-
erable money; at any rate I worked him off
real nice and respectable like, and got my
pay. About a year later the same lawyer
came to me and says: ‘You ought to owe me
$503 ‘ '
“ ‘Whyi’ says I.
“‘1Vhy, I paid you that for burying old
Smith about a year ago and he wasn't dead.
But he is ready to plant this time; died last
night, and I came over after you.’ .
“Tell, I went over and laid the man out.
Whllo I was at work on him the old lady
came in and said: ‘Well, he’s (loud enough
this time, poor man. The night after we’d
buried him before he came walking into the
room where we was all sitting. He had taken
a little too much drink, and had just got over
it and read about our buryin’ him in the pa-
pers, an’ Lor‘ but he was mad. I knew it was
no spcrrit as soon as he came in. But I guess
he won’t come back this time.”
“I never like to shave a corpse," remarked
a red headed funeral director from an ad-
joining connty, “and if it is practicable I al-
ways like to get a barber. About a month
“ago I had an old man to bury Who had died
with four or five days’ growth of beard. Ills
limbs had contracted terribly after death, and
to straighten them out we had laid a couple
of pieces of plank across him. He was lying
on the bed in this way when the harbor came,
a big colored fellow with considerable super-
stition about him.
the face all right, and then had to climb on
the bed over the deceased to shove the other
side. In some way his knees hit the plank
which lay across the dead man’s chest and
held his arms down, releasing both arms.
They sprang together like the jaws of a steel
trap and happened to catch the barber on
both sides of the head. Ho gave one long
yell that 111st till he reached the street, and
that was the last seen of him. I had to finish
the job. The dorky was so badly scared
that it was three days before he went to work
again.”
The following dialogue is alleged to have
been overheard and was retold with consid-
erable gusto:
Country Undertaker—Do you make any
difference in your own manner and ex-
pression in conducting different funerals?
City Funeral Director——Certa£'lly. I have
three expressions—one for first class funerals,
one for medium and one for cheap funerals.
First class funerals, as I call them, are when
the family has wealth and social position.
These people are calm and undemonstrative
in their sorrow, and I use what Icall my
“dignified sorrow” expression—a calm, sad
look, with a white tie. Icharge $10 extra
for this in my et cctoras. For the medium
class I just sling in a sort of “ministerial sad-
ncss” look that costs them 85 extra. If the
family have lots of money and are pretty
shoddy, and bound to make a big show, I use
a‘huppressed gl'ief’cxprcssion that'Ipride
myself on. It is really pathetic. That costs
the mourners $25, but it’s udandy.—Pitts-
burg Dispatch.
Onions for Nervous l’rostration.
Those who are in the habit of indulging in
raw onions may be consoled for the mature
and able bodied odor whichwraps them as in
a veil, and causes men. women and children
to flee from their malodorous vicinity, by the
fact that onions are the best ncrvine known.
No medicine is really so eficacious in cases
of nervous prostration, and they tone up a
worn out system in a very short time. Their
absorbent powersare also most valuable, es-
pecially in times of epidemic. ,It has re-
peatedly been observed that an onion patch
in the immediate vicinity of a house acts as a
shield against the pestilence, which is very
aptto passovcr the inmates of that house.
Sliced onions in a sick room absorb all the
germs and prevent contagion. During an
epidemic the confirmed onion cater should,
however, eschew his usual diet, as the germs
of disease are present in the onion and con-
tagion can easily result.—G~lobe-Democrat.
A farmer in the Black Hills issaid to have
made $1,300 in onions grown on an acre and
a quarter of land. He sold 450 sucks.

A CHILD’S SKIN.
EARS AND SCALP COVERED WITH
ECZEMATOUS SCABS AND SORES
CURED BY CUTICURA.
MY lmle son. aged el in years has been amlct-
ed with Eczemao the scalp, and at times a
great portlon ot the body, ever since he was two
igears old. It began in his ears and extended to
la scalp, which became covered with scabs and
sores. and from which a sticky nuld poured out,
causing Intense itching and distress. and leaving
his hair matted and lifeless. ’l‘nderncath these
scabs the skin was raw, like a place of beefsteak.
Gradually the hair came out and was destroyed,
until but a small patch was left at the back of
the head. My friends in Peabody know how my
little boy has suffered. At nlgh he would scratch .
his head until his pillow was covered with blood.
I used to us his hands behind him, and in many
ways trled to prevent his scratching, but it was
no use, he would scratch. I took him to the hos-
pital and to the best physicians in Peabody witn-
out success. About this time some friends, who
had been cured by the CUTICURA Rnnnmas, pre-
vailed upon me to try them. I began to use them
on the 15th of January last. In seven months
every particle of the dlsease was removed. Not a
spot or scab remains on his scalp to tell the story
of his suIIerIng. His hair has returned, and is
thick and strong, and his scalp as sweet and clean
as any child’s in the world. 1 cannot say enough
to express my gratitude for this wonderful cure
by the TCUI‘ICUIIA REMEDIES, and wish all simi-
larly afflicted to know that my statements is true
and without exaggeration.

A Queer 10 Cent Piece.
“There is a counterfeit 10 cent piece with a
history,” said a Jackson street man yesterday,
as he fondled a greasy looking coin dangling
from his watchchain. “When the Federal
troops were before Fredericksburg a New
York volunteer got out of his trench one
morning, and, after attracting the attention
of a Johnny who could be seen inside the
fortifications, raised a flask of whisky to his
lips, which were puckered for along ‘pull.’
“The volunteer had taken, perhaps, three
swallows of the liquor when we saw a puff of
smoke and a flash from the fortifications,
followed a second later by the collapse of
tho whisky flask and the fall of the volun-
teer. The bottle, which had been struck by
a minis ball, was shivered, and the man who
had held it lay bleeding at our feet. His
upper jaw had been shattered by the bullet,
which had also taken away seven of his front
teeth and buried itself high up in his right
check. It was one of the prettiest shots I saw
during the whole war, and the volunteer, al-
though seriously wounded, seemed to think it
about the finest piece of work it had ever been
his pleasure to witness.
“The bullet was cut out by a surgeon, and
as soon as the patient recovered from the
shock which he experienced we melted the
piece of lead and cast four of these dimes.
The volunteer kept one, another went to his
brother, the surgeon kept the third, and I
was so fortunate as to become the possessor of
the other. So yousee this little piece of rebel
lead broke a whisky bottle and a human jaw,
knocked out seven teeth, and traveled over
600 yards to bathe itself in liquor and gore.
Six months after this incident we learned
that the bullet was fired by a cross eyed man
in a South Carolina re ' ent.”-—Chic
Herald. ' gun ago
No Use to Get Mad.
Matthew Lyons, a naturalized Irishman,
when a representative in congrem from Ver-
mont, was fined $1,000 and imprisoned four
months for publishing a letter calculating to
bring President John Adams “into contempt."
He was strongly opposed to everything that
was royal or sovereign; and when a national
coinage was discussed he objected to the
eagle being put on, because he was the king
of birds and therefore inappropriate to a Re-
publican emblem. Judge Thatcher, of Mas-
sachusetts, who was always characterized by
good natured mirthfulness, replied that per-
haps it would be well to take the goose for
our emblem, for that bird had nothing ma-
jestic in her department, nor could her hum-
ble rank among the feathered tribe give
offense to the most fastidious Republican.
Moreover (continued the judge), goslings
would be a very convenient stamp for the
lenpenny pieces and fippenny bits.
This caused a great deal of mirth .among
the members, excepting Lyon, who was so
offended by it that be challenged the face-
tious judge to a duel. “What arrangements
will you make?" inquired the man who car- '
ried the challenge. “None at all,” replied the
iudgc. “Why, are you willing to be called a
coward?” “Yes, because I am a. coward, and

Odor of the Chinese Quarters.
After the prenaturai activity of the Chi-
nese, which makes upon the observer flit
same impression produced by the study of one
of Dora’s sketchwa the lost souls of Dante,
forever toiling in the gloom of the nether
world, the next thing that strikes the stranger
is the peculiar odor that fills the air; and that
resembles a combination of bad tobacco
and the pungent fumes from the punk that
the American small boy uses on the Fourth of
J uh! to light his fire Crackers. Mingled with
this is the smell of unclean streets, the whole.
making a combination not easily forgotten.
The Abbe Huck, who traveled in China in
native dress, declared that he could readily
deceive the people in regard to hls nation-
ality, as he spoke the language perfectly, and
as long exposure had stained his skin to a
copper color; but the Chinese dogs always
barked at his heels, because they detected the
absence of the national odor. This smell is
due partly to tho coolie’s custom of sleepliug
in his clothes, but mainly to the fact that
the constant smoking of opium and tobacco,
and the preparation of food at open fires, sub
jcct the dweller in a Chinese house to per-
petual fumigation. Hence the smoky odor
clings to him, and not even the breezes of tbs:

Red tape gets out occasionally, even in
Washington. Some time ago an engineer
ofiicer of the army, who had stores under
his charge on a government wharf, hired a
steam tug to help in extinguishing a fire
which threatened to consume them, and
the reasonable charge for that service was
disallowed in his accounts because he had
not first advertised for proposals and given
the job to the lowest bidder as the regula-
tions require. The officer protested vig-
orously, and after six months’ delay 1?. was
finally decided that his piotest was resona-

Mrs. A. M. Dauphin, Philadelphia, has done a
great deal to make known to ladies the great
value of )1 rs. Lydia E. Plukham’s Vegetable com-
pound, as a cure for their troubles and diseases.
She writes as follows: “A young lady of this city
whlle bathing some years ago was thrown violent—
.y against the Menus and the injuries received
resulted Ill an ovarian tumor which grew and
enlarged until (10th seemed curtain. Her plly-
slclan finally advised her to try Mrs. Pinkham's
compound. She'tlld so and In a short time the
tumor dissolved and she is now in perfect health.
Ialso know of many cases where the medicine
has been of great value in preventing miscarriage
and alleviating the pains and dangers of child-
birth. Philadelphia ladies appreciate the worth
of this medicine and its great value. ”
