cabinet; be prayed for the state officials
and for mankind In general. Then, "O
Lord, give to this presiding judge the
wisdom he so much needs," besought
the dominie with fervor. "Overrule his
decisions to thine eternal honor and
glory." The presiding Judge, appre
ciating the spirit of the petition, while
hardly relishing bis diction, bad to live
down the reputation which his asso
ciates tried to confer on him in accord
ance with the characterization of the
prayer. New Tork Tribune.

Hludooi and Cows.
The Hindoos, or natives of India,
worship Idols of wood and stone. They
alfo worship animals and plants. Th
cow is considered the most sacred an
imal; still they worship the ox and
the bull, the fish, tortoise and bear;
also serpents, monkeys, demons and
spirits. They believe that when a per
son dies the soul pusses tiDto some anl
mal or plant and Uvea another life,
continuing to do so until it has lived
millions of lives. They think that per
haps some one of their ancostoes may
be living In the cow or some other
animal. For that reason they are very
kind to animals and dare not allow
them to be killed. When the cows be
come old, or for that reason become
helpless, they are sent to the "asylum
for animals" in Punjakole, India,
where they are well kept for the rest
of their lives. A good Brahman or
Hindoo priest will feed his cow before
he takes bis own breakfast
