A few miles west of Naples is the vast crater of an extinct. volcano (from which no eruption has taken place since A. l). 1108), known osthc Soliatnra. But, although in a St‘llSC extinct, yet at various points it is always belching forth dcnsc, suffocating volumes ’of white sulphurcous fumes; jets of sul- phur vapor issuing from yawning clyfts and gaping fissures and refills in the solidified mud floor of the crater in all directions; and even from the cliffs en- compassing the great holler; strange puffs of smoke are from time to time soon breaking out. amongst the bushes and shrubs growing thereon. It is stat- ed in a guide book that a roaring sound a: of thunder or of muskctry fire ac- companies thesc eruptions. This, how- ever, is certainly not always the case. But even when there are no swelling blasts, and no tbomning stridor caused by these outbursts from this safety valve of Nature the scene is so weird and mystic that an uncanny, unearthly spell appears to pervade the place, for- cibly reminding the visitor oi Gustave Dorc‘s terrible picture of the nether rc- gions in his illustrations of Paradise Lost. The great craterâ€"it is about. a mile In circumference, and, unlike other vol- czmoas, is not at the summit of a moun- tain, butt on almost level guoundâ€"ap- pears to be a vast caldron of boiling water, upon which floats a crust of sol- idified mud about three feet in thick-1 ness. Hero is a small lake of water furiously boiling; here an island on which the beautiful Mediterranean white heather is blooming luxuriantly, notâ€" withstanding tho sulphur fumes (owing, however, probably to these fumes the flowers decay very soon after being plucked); here a rift from which issues a stream of noxious gas and steam; while the mud floor, many acres in ex- tcnt, upon which the: visitor is cautious- ,ly walking rcvcrbcratcs with a hollow sound if stamped upon. In fact if a rcgiment of soltlicrs'wcrc to march across Ilhc crater, in all probability the crust would collapse and they would all be plunged into the huge culdrou beneath. And perhaps this strange sulphurcous curthwvcnt may remind some of the fig. urative “fire and lll‘llllfiltll'lt')" which is the fate of those shut out from the glory. But ithe fires of remorse implied by this metaphor need not fro the fate of any.

The terms employed by the people of one nation as the choicest. phrases in their vocabulary of cndcarmcnt are of- ten employed for quite the opposite pur- poses by other peoples, says. London T it-Bits. One of the most familiar and most coveted phrases of cndcai-ment among the French, for instance, is “my little pig," and “my little puppy dog” is also much appreciated. When a French husband calls his wife a. “cat” she does not fly into a passion of resentment, as an English speaking wife might do un- der the same circumstances, but takes it as a gentle compliment. On the other . hand if he were to call her a. “duck.” as the British husband might his wife, she would be very much offended. Some time ago in Germany letters written by the late Count von Moltko to his betrothed were published. in those the great. soldier frequently called the lady “my little kernel of coffee."

Power of the Priestsâ€"Feasts of-Lantcrns â€"Worship of the Cobra. Religion plays a very important part in lndian village life; but it is in the holidays and the rites connected with them that religion asserts itself most conspicuously. It is then that the Brah- man com-cs to the front. Brahmans are the priests, tho “Bhu-surs” (loads of the earth). They take the lead in all rural life absolutely and completely; in towns their ascendancy may be disputed, but in the Mofussil they still reign supreme; in fact in some of the more primitive and out of the way villages the Brah- mnns one actually objects of worship. Nothing can go on without them, neither births, marriages, deaths, nor feasts, and as a natural consequence there are many feasts, says the Empire Review. The ryot as a rule does no agricul- tural work on a Mondayâ€"that is, he gives himself and his animals a hob- domadal rest on that day, and thus no- consciously keeps up an observance at a nature similar to the Christian Sunâ€" day and tho Jetvish Sabbath. Then the “Shradh,” or anniversary of the fa- ther‘s death, is always strictly kept; on that day the son shaves all the hair of! his head and face, puts on clean white clothes, prays to the gods and'givcs of- ferings at the village shrine for the re pose of his father's spirit. It is for this reason chiefly that the Hindu so passi- onately desire-s a son: if he has not one of his own he adopts one. The Divatiâ€"or Feast of Lanternsâ€" falls in January; it is the Hindu New Year and is the great business feast, as it were; all books are balanced and ac- counts adjustcd at this timc‘. The tcmn pics and houses are brilliantly lighted up and the women flock to the nearest water, where they set afloat little earth- on saucers filled with oil in which they place lighted wicks. Nag-panachami occurs in July-August. The monsoon, o'r rainy season, is s'up- posod to end with this feast, and it is therefore more extensively celebrated in the coast districts than in the inland parts; it is the great holiday for fisher- men and seafcarlng folk generally. The cobra is worshipped; offerings of milk are placed in shallow dishes in spots which these reptiles are known to haunt, while thousands of oocoanuts are thrown into the sea. lndia. is emphatically a. land of idols: idolatry seems to have a fascination for the Hindu mind. The common people of India are passionately devoted to the worship and service of idols; there are said to be 333.000,000 gods in Hindustani The three great and specially vcnorated (lictiics are Brahma, Vishnu and Sivaâ€"â€" the Hindu Trimu‘rti or Trinity.
