India offeta many curious things In the way o f rellgl i. and the strin g e n t of them all is the aerial slide, which U performed annually nt Kulu. in the H im alayas. At n point w here there Is a clilT overhanging n precipitous gorge several him«rod feet In width and a hundred fe d In depth a rope Is made fast to the mck. The other end of this Is carried across the gorge and there secured to a stake. The total length of the rope between the two points Is when drawn taut 2,600 feet, and the end attach e I to the • HIT Is several hun dred fee! higher l lu a th at fastened on the opposite side o f the ravine. Thus a slide Is contrived, and il Is a d an ger ous one to all appearance. It Is down this incline that the per form er has Ids path. Fo r the lofty Journey a sort o f caddie Is provided made o f wood, with holes iu II, through which the rope passes. But before n start Is made the whole length o f llie rope Is wet to prevent the saddle from catching lire from the friction. The perform er sils astride th is scat, and to his legs are fastened bags o f sand, which serve two purposes they enable him to m aintain an upright position during Ids lightning like descent, and they Increase the momentum. The lower end o f the rope Is carefully wound with bits of carpet to check ihc speed before tbe stak e Is reached. W ithout this precaution the perform er would be dashed to pieces. The terrific velocity o f the descent for the first few hundred yards Is shown by the stream of smoke th at trails from the wake o f the saddle, d e spite the fact that the rope has been wet. A fterw ard the Incline dim inishes som ew hat, amt the pace becom es co rre spondingly slower. By the lim e the goal Is reached the Jtaerl, as the per form er Is called, is able to come to a standstill without d isaster. This slide In the air Is supposed to reveal the will of the gods as to the crops o f the approaching season. If the perilous trip Is accom plished In plentiful harvest Is assured.

Its The town o f Medford, Mass., l i a s a legend of a phantom ship beside which the F ly in g Dutchm an Is only a peace ful men haul man. T h e Medford story runs that a ship laden w all rum ami gold and silver bars put out from that place in the days when the Spanish main was infested w ith pirates. It was headed fo r a W est Indian port, but got Into the doldrum s and w as s<> long becalmed th at w ater and provi slons gave out, ami all hands perished of thirst and starvation. W hen the wind cam e up again the ship sailed aw ay with her ghastly crew , was seen by a buccaneer, chased and over hauled. The pirate captain m ade fas! lo his prize without firing a single shot, and. attributing the vessel's nonreststance to fe ar or lack o f arm s, he w as the first man to leap on board. Bill the rope with which tbe captured ship had been carelessly lasbe.l to his own parted under the strain o f the seaw ay, and he found him self rapidly borne nwny from his com rades on w hat he soon discovered lo be a floating coffin. A stiff breeze filled the sails o f the derelict, and before his own vessel could overtake It night des. ended on the ocean, and the pursuing ship I >st sight o f It altogether. Left alone in pitch d arkness on the grewsom e < raft, the pirate w ent mad w ith terror and. seizing the wheel, raced aw ay before the wind and. aecordlng lo the legend, was condemned to range the sens fo r ever thus in command o f his horrible prize. .Woe to the ship that encountered it scudding along by moonlight or In the lightning’s glare, manned by sk eleto n , and steered by a shouting, g e sticu lat ing madman, and when on several oc casions It was sighted In the fog off Medford It was considered ns the her aid o f storm and d isaster and the loss o f many ships.—New York Tress.
