A Strange Foanst, A curlous feast 18 observed by the Mohammedan Inbabitants of Indla, in ‘Which the origin of the custom known as painting the town red may possibly be traced. It s called the Holl and consists chiefly In the plentiful sprin- kling upon all and sundry of a certain red preparation called holl powder. It stains the white clothes of the natives with an ugly, dirty looking red that conjures up before timid eyes dread visions of bloody fights and ghastly mutinies. The powder Is made in two shades—the one vermilion, the other rose red—and both are used impartial- ly by the observers of the ceremony, who delight In bedaubing their faces with the powders until they look like strange and hideous denizens of hades come up, still glowing with the fires of that region. Among the better classes this festival is falling Into dis- favor, for It leads to many unpleasant excesses and had its origin In some de- cldedly disslpated scene in anclent heathen history. A reference to “The Corsican Broth- ers” recalls an amusing story of Mr. Gladstone’s visit to the Lyceum when Irving was playing In this drama. Mr. Gladstone at the time was not bur- dened by the cares of office, and one evening he dropped In at the Lyceum, where he was occasionally accommo- dated with a chair at the “wings.” On this night, however, when the stage 'was set for the opera ball in “The Cor- slcan Brothers” his curiosity led him Into one of the boxes for spectators in the scene. Up went the curtain; Mr. Gladstone was at once descried by the pit and greeted with shouts of joy which caused him hastily to withdraw. “This,” says Mr. Austin, “was his first and only appearance in the drama out- side of the dear old ‘legitimate’ at ‘Westminster.”—Westminster Gazette. The Wite’s Reproach. In an address to a temperance socie- ty a lecturer told how drink had once caused the downfall of a brave soldier. In the course of the sad story he said: “Sometimes, after a debauch, the man would be repentant, humble. He would promise his wife to do better. But, alas, the years taught her the bar- renness of all such promises. And onc night, when he was getting to be an old man, a prematurely old man, thin limbed, stoop shouldered, with red rimmed eyes, he said to his wife sadly: “‘You're a clever woman, Jenny, a courageous, active, good woman. You should have married a better man than I am, dear.” “She looked at him, and, thinking of what he had once been, she answered in a quiet voice: > “I did, James.’” His First Customer. Schwartz had just taken possession of the little book shop which he had purchased with the idea that there would be an ideal occupation for him, permitting him to sit around and simoke his long pipe all the time. His first patron, or would be patron, on the first morzing of his advent as a book dealer was a young woman who wanted to get a book dealing with aretic romance. “Good morning,” she said. “Have you got ‘Frozen Dog Tales? ” “Vat? Lady, dis is not a Chinese restaurant.” “But you don’t understand me. 1 mean”— “I never heard of frozen dog tails yet. Meppe dey are someding dose Fillingjeeno beebles eats. But nod here, lady, nod here. Dis is a book store.” “Well, probably you do not quite un- derstand me. I wanted to get some book that had stories of the north in it.

Even to his jailer Burr was the grand seigneur whose rights there was none to dispute. “I hope, sir,” ventured that official at their first encounter, “that it would not be disagreeable to you if I should lock this door after dark.” “By no means,” graciously returned the prisoner. “I should prefer it to keep out intruders.” “It is our custom, sir,” continued the turnkey, “to extinguish all lights at 9 o'clock. I hope, sir, you will have no objectlon to conform to that.” “That, sir,” answered Burr, “I am sorry to say is impossible, for I never go to bed until 12 and always burn two candles.” B “Very well, sir—just as you please,” agreed the jailer. “I should have been glad If it had been otherwise, but as you please, gir.” — Frederick Trevor Hill in Harper’s Magazine. Birds’ Spring Wedding Clothes. There are a number of birds that put on fresh, bright beautiful clothes for thelr spring weddings.

Elizabeth Carter (1717-1806) was one of the ‘original “blue stockings,” of whom a biographer says: “A perfect knowledge of French, ncquired at an early age from a Huguenot refugce minister at Canterbury, was the foun- datlon of Elizabeth Carter’s education, Her father taught her, together with her brother, Latin, Greek and Hebrew, though the slowness of her apprehen- slon tired out his patience.

Sometimes when the roof is low one man can “leg” an empty boat by lying down on his back on top of the cabin and pushing the roof with his feet. With a broad boat “legging” is performed by two men, one on ecach side of the boat, who lie down on the fore end and push against the tunnel sides with their feet. If the tunnel is too wide boards projecting over the boat’s side, termed “wings,” are brought into use for them to lie on.

Hunters, fishermen and nature students have tried to answer this question, and many are the guesses at the riddle. watched an American golden eye that had a nest in the hollow tree overhang: ing the water until he heard her, after she had made an inspection of the sur- roundings, utter a “quack” that brought her brood pellmell out of the tree and tumbling down into the water.
