Th« Gold Lien« ef Raking.
Fronting the Imperial palace at Pe
king are two beautifully carved lions
of enormous size which, if we are to be
lieve the mandarins, are of solid gold
and have been there since time im
memorial. When the combined armies
of England aud France advanced on
Peking in 1800 the Chinese painted
these statues gray in order to make
the Europeans believe that they were
of bronze and therefore to insure
ngainst their being melted. Later, dur
ing the Japanese war, these lions dis
appeared for a time, but at the con
clusion of peace they reappeared in
their original position. Tbs value of
these relics ia said to be incalculable,
and they are tn native eyes a symbol
of the unity of the empire.—Harper's.

Grotesque Sport That la a Part ef th.
Holl Festival.
The curiously childish horseplay of
the Holl festival, which is celebrated
aunually by the maharaja of Patiala,
la descrllied by Mrs. Charles Bertram
in “A Magician In Many Lauds.
The
author made the acquaintance of the
famous Hindu ruler during a tour or
India aud was invited to remain over
for the festival.
Early in the morning I went to the
club, where I found many of the
guests, wbo were taking part lu the
ceremony for tbe first time We were
provided with a complete new suit of
nindu garments, and our dressing
was superintended by the maharaja s
servants. We had camels, elephants
and victorias provided for us. I was
on an elephant in a kind of box, and
we drove in procession to tbe palace
in the native city.
We were received with great acclaim
by the natives, and I was led to be
lieve that it was to be decidedly a dig
nified occasion. But I was woefully
mistaken. The fun had not begun.
Certain formalities bad to be gone
through before the signal was given.
We took our seats in the courtyard
of the palace at a long table that was
loaded with large gilt dishes filled with
different colored balls as large as
oranges and filled with Holl powder.
At n signal the brother of the mahara
ja came to the front of the table and
salaamed to the prince, who took one
of the balls and threw it gently across
the table, striking the officer on the
breast.
The ball broke and scattered the
powder over bls costume. Then there
was a general scramble, and In less
time than it takes to write hundreds
of balls were flying about, their many
colored contents scattered broadcast on
the crowd. Next baskets of loose pow
der were thrown upon us in handfuls.
It was no use to expostulate. The
moment you opened your mouth some
body filled it with powder. The battle
grew fast and furious, when suddenly
an enormous stream of water from a
fire engine drenched everybody. The
colored powders became wet and. min
gling together, dyed us all in brilliantly
variegated hue«.
After this sort of thing had gone on
for half an hour it ceased by mutual
cousent, and we returned to the pri
vate gardens of the maharaja, where
we were most unceremoniously pitch
ed into a tank of running water. I
was dyed a deep scarlet all over my
body, and it was fully a month before
the color entirely disappeared from ay
face and hands.

A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE,
THEY WERE VERY RICH
What Elsa They Were Was Quaintly
Told by Mary Lyon.
When in 1837 Mary Lyon founded
Holyoke college she collected the mou-
ey required for its first building in
sums thnt ranged from 6 cents to
$1,000. She got 1,800 persons to sub
scribe. Her feat gave the new enter
prise an unusually wide foundation iu
the public interest, but she did not ac
complish it without much hard work
or without gaining wide exjierieuce of
human nature.
One evening Miss Lyon arrived In
the village of Ashfleld. Mass., at a
home where she was always vvelcomcd.
gladly. She was full of hope and en
thusiasm. Would the squire take het
at once to W„ jvhere, she had learned,
there was a family of wealth that
might give liberally toward the semi
nary building?
"Supper and a good night’s rest. Mis
Lyon,” was the reply, "and then m;-
horses shall take you there.”
The next morning as they were start
Ing the squire's wife laid n gentle hum
on Miss Lyon’s shoulder, with th.
warning: “Do not expect too much, ins
dear Miss Lyon. We know the pcoph
I fear you will not be successful.”
With a beaming face Miss Lyon re
plied: "Ob, I am told they are ver;,
rich. I am sure they will help liber
ally.”
When she entered the house on her
return Miss Lyon went quickly to her
friend, and. grasping her arm. while
conflicting emotions played over her
face, she said:
"Yes, it is all true, just as I was told
They live in a costly house, It is full
of costly things, they wear costly
clothes”—then, drawing nearer and
s’most closing her eyes, she whispered
with unforgetable emphasis, “but. oh,
they’re little bits of folks!”—Youth’s
Companion.
FREEZING TO DEATH
Sensations That Com. With Exposure
to Extreme Cold.
In the course of a series of experi
ments with extreme cold carried on at
Berlin, Raoul Pictet, an investigator.
Inserted bls bare arm beyond the el
bow In a chamber refrigerated to a
temperature of 157 degrees below zero
F. and kept it there for several min
utes. He suffered no permanent dam
age, but experienced a number of pe
culiar and painful sensations.
Tbe
chief of these aud the most trying was
a feeling of pain in the bones of the
hand and arm.
The pain increased steadily. It was
located chiefly in the interior parts of
the arm and was far less severe in the
portions near or at the surface. The
skin was purple when the member was
withdrawn. In about ten minutes n
vloleut reaction set In with violent
burning sensation of the skin wherever
it bad been exposed.
Investigations carried on with dogs
indicated that the process of freezing
to death is not necessarily an unpleas
ant one. Placed in a temperature of
—125 to —150 the animals displayed
quickened breathing and heart beats,
with a decided rise above normal in
the blood temperature. These signs
pointed to a sudden and violent auto
matic effort of the heart to preserve
the bodily temperature. In spite of en
ergetic heart action the temperature of
the blood fell gradually to 71 degrees.
At this point the heart action ceased
very suddenly.
The sensations of bodily warmth and
languor mentioned In descriptions of
death by violent cold can easily be un
derstood in view of the above expert
aaente.—New York Baa.
Killing Time.
Perhaps the busiest time of the year
in old colonial days was November,
called "killing time." When the chosen
day arrived oxen, cows and swine
which had been fattened for the win
ter’s stock were slaughtered early in
the morning that the meat might be

Not a day passes but the story of a
remarkable coincidence is brought tu

of the Chronique de Paris.

The Judge—Why did you steal tin

"Why did you not buy it?”
“Because I had no money.”
“But you have a gold ring on yonr

“I am a foundling. When I was tak
