The Rellgious Soul of Man, When .Ift‘ Aroused, Will Stop at Nothing Short of the Idealâ€"Bervish Famous Bionce of Selfâ€" Matilation, and Ancient Briton System of FTimmolation. Although to a certain extent and in a certain sense the religion of the Western Hemisphere and of those peoâ€" ples whom the Englishâ€"speaking naâ€" tions call "civilized" is deep and more spiritual than that of the East, noâ€" thing strikes the traveler and the hisâ€" torian more vividly than the intensity which those races who are bred veâ€" neath the bottest rays of the sun will cling to their beliefs Beside the faith of the simplest Oriental Europâ€" ean and American Christianity fades into mere platitudes _ Your refined Westerner rarely furnishes a martyr, if martyrs are desirable. SELVES. # Few religions impose on their folâ€" lowers a more tremendous task than the pilgrimage to Meccaâ€"the Hadj, as it is called. _ From Morocco on one side, and from India on the other, faithful followers of Mohammed brave the very real dangers of thousands of miles of desert and sea to visit the Prophet‘s tomb and gain the coveted privilege of the green turban. . The risk of cholera alone is terrific. _ It rages alwaysat Mecca, and is spread by the reeking water of the Prophet‘s well, swarming with disease germs. Travelers who have visited the East have probably seen something of the whirling bands of dancing dervishes, but it is not generally known that these dervishes at certain times asâ€" semble in thousands in Constantinople, and there, after dancing until they fall into a sort of hysterical frenzy, gash themselves â€" frightfully with keenâ€" bladed knives. _Death often ensues from sheer loss of blood, but it never checks the practice. A European doctor who was present, disguised, at one of these performances declared that the men‘s bodies were literally covered with old scars and halfâ€"healed and open wounds, and that he could not imagine how any human being could survive such an ordeal. TERRIBLE RITES OF BUDDHISM. The Buddhist religion has 500,000,000 followers, chiefly in Further India, Ceylon and China. _ Piigrimages are as essential to Hindoos as to Mohamâ€" medansâ€"and not only to men but to women also. One pilgrimage is to the top of Adam‘s Peak in Ceylon. There, 7,420 feet above the sea, is the print of Buddha‘s foot, and thither the pilgrims climb up an ascent so steep thai the only way of reaching the sumâ€" mit is by iron chains fastened to the rock. | TORTURE MADE A WARRIOLRK. _ _ some of the indians used. to share the same belief, but there was a much finer faith among the fighting tribes ‘ of the plains and the Rocky Mountains. There a young mau who wanted to rise to the rank of warrior went out alone | into the wilderness, where he starved | himself until he saw visions. The Big | Spirit came to him and told him his | wampum or medicine. This might Le | a stick or stone, and so long as he carâ€" |ried it he should have the protection of his god. _ When he got his wamâ€" |\ pum he went back to the tribe, where \ he submitted to long hours of torture, binging to a rope fastened into great slits in his chest, unril the quivering flesh tore away. If he made so much | as a moan or cry he was dressed as a | squaw, and must be a slave forever, but if he bore the ordeal he became a warrior. _ That religion bred up a splendid race of men, generous, hardy and brave. In India "hook swinging" was a _ weliâ€"known but awful cereâ€" ing. _ The sufferer was slung in the | air by steel hooks through the flesh DERVISHES MUTILATE THEMâ€" of his back. It has now been done away with by the British Governâ€" meant. THE UBIQUITIOUS MEDICINE MAN. The commonsst kind of religion among savages is Shamanism. _ ‘The Shaman is the medicine man or magiâ€" cian who practices witcheraft or black magic to please the spirits who rule the world. Generally he is a pretty bad lot, because he extorts from the people more than even the chief, and anybody who disobeys gets murdered or sacrificed to the gods. In the South Sea Islands the Shaman and all his sroperty are tabooâ€"must not be tou L>+ on pain of instant death. Amors Indians, the Shaman heals the sick by driving out evil spirits. He doe this by sitting beside the patient, howlinz and drumming night or day until the victim dies or gets well out of sheer desperation. in obstinate cases the Shaman jumps up and down on the patient‘s chest, who has to pay a high price for the treatment. . The sick suffer much for their religion. Among the British Columbia coast tribes a man has at certsin feasts OF to give away everything he possesses â€"particularly all his blanketsâ€"in the world until he is reduced to nakedness. But the initiates who want to be medicine men break the record. In certain tribes they used quite lately to bite everybody they metâ€"bite out great chunks. Also they ate live dog, and up to the year 1889 they cerâ€" tainly ate corpses among the Qaugutl. GODS APPEASED BY HUMAN BLOOD The Aztec tribes of Mexico made treâ€" mendous sacrifices for their religion, sacrificed their slaves, their sons, their female relationsâ€"everybody, in fact, except themselves. Our ancestors, the an ient Britons, did worse, for whereâ€" as the Aztecs only clubbed or stabbed, our forefathers burned their victims to death. It is said that on great 0¢â€" casions an immense statue was built of wickerwork, filled with living peoâ€" ple, and then burned. _A great many African tribes make bhuman sacrifices now to Juju, and in some of our reâ€" us umt us Atainter > Fhe" Rentt CA« now to Juju, and in some of our reâ€" cent warsâ€"notably the Benin camâ€" paignâ€"we â€" have taken native cities which were nothing _ better than vast slaughtering grounds, full of huâ€" man remains. _ As will be rememberâ€" ed, the wells in Benin City were full of corpses, and every jackal in Africa seemed to be fattening in the neighâ€" borhood. Women in Hindustan think nothing of death for their religion. The pracâ€" tice of suttee, or widowâ€"burning, is still practiced, though strongly put down. _ A Japanese, whose religion is his honor, commits suicide by tPe elaâ€" AEz0 PEA T PAAA OCT CCC s F borate and awful ceremonial of haraâ€" kiri, and his relations look on and apâ€" prove. ALL FOR CREED. Loss of all that man holds dear, hunger, thirst, torture unspeakable, death even! What is there that a man will not do for his religious beliefs? It is one of thr most remarkable things in the world to notice what the memâ€" bers of the different faiths consider the highest virtues, and the way in which each think their separate rites and practices the best and most pleasâ€" The tallest Queen in Europe is the young Wilhelmina, of Holland. _ She is only nineteen years old, but reaches 5 feet 5 1â€"2 inches into the air. She is lightly built, with a weight of only 130 pounds, but has the bust measureâ€" ment of a Junoâ€"42 inches. Her waist measures only 21 1â€"2 inches and her hips 40 inches. Her Majesty of Holâ€" land is, in other words,so ill advised as to lace herself most cruelly, Wilbhe!mina‘s bust measurement, deâ€" spite her yiuth, is surpassed by that of none of the Quzens except Marâ€" gherita of Italy and Victoria of Great Britain, â€" The latter is the shortest sovereign in Europe, She is only 4 feet 11 inches high and tips the beam at 171 pounds. The heaviest Queen in Europe is Margherita of Italy, "the Pearl of Savoy." Bhe turns the scales at 176 pounds, but her height, 5 feet 5inches, enables her to "carry off‘ her stoutâ€" ness and to preserve the carriage of a fine woman, Her waist measure of 40 inches shows that despite her adâ€" vancing years she still retains a queenâ€" ly figure. Her hips measure 48 inches. .A shade taller than Margherita is the more willowy wusen Regent of Spain. She is 5 feet & 2â€"G inches in height, with a weight of 147 pounds Her bust and hips measure 36 and 40 incbes, respectively, and her waist is 21 inches about. One of the most superb figures among European royalties is that of Natalie, the romantic Queen of Servia. She is 5 feet 4 34 inches high, with a bust measure 22 inches, Her hips are 40 inches around, and she weighs 130 poundsi _ Queen Sophia of Sweden and Queen Marie Henrietta of Beiguim are each 5 feet 4 inches in height and their bust measure is 36 inches. Queen Sophia weighs 140 pounds and Queen Marie 3 pounds more. The Swedish queen posâ€" sesses on the whoie, however, the more stylish, if less natural, figure, with a waist measure of 24 inches, and a hip measure of 38, while the Queen of the Belgians measures 27 inches around the waist and 40 around the hips. The Queen of Portugal and the Czarâ€" ina of Russia are closely paired in the matter of size. Queen Amelia is older and has a fuller and more matronly figure. Bhe had a bust measure of 35 inches and a waist measure of 23, but some time ago she gave up wearing corsets, and the increase of her waist measurement has not been recorded. The Czarina is only 32 inches around the bust and 22 around the waist. Their hip measure is or was the same â€"38 incbes. The Czarina is 5 feet 2 1â€"2 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds, while Queen Marie weighs 123 pounds and is half an inch taller. . There is not in the entire group a beautiful figure, according to the ideais of the sculiptors, which differ from those of the dressmakers. The Managerâ€"How came you to leave your last place?

Events That Interest Irishmen Throughâ€" out the Worltâ€"Chromicled Briefly for Their Perusal. Sergeant Daniel O‘Neill, who had been the leading detective at Queenston for many years, died recently. It is supposed that Mr. Justice Mcâ€" Carthy will supplement his recenitlyâ€" published reminiscences with a book on the Ireland of his early days. A 'girratfe from East Africa and the longâ€"armed black gibbon are amongst the latest additions to the Dublin Museum. The governing body of Dublin Uniâ€" versity have privately resolved to conâ€" fer the dignity of Doctor of Common Laws on Sir Geo. Trevelyan. At the opening of the Ennis quarter sessions recently, Judge Carton was presented with a pair of white gloves, no criminal business being entered. A mason named Sheehan received a sunstroke while working at the new church, Charleville, from the effects of which he died early next morning. By way of testing the patriotism of Irishmen a proposal has been made that Irishmen all over the world should make â€" contributions in â€" shillings to " save Killarney." A man aamed William McCann, a slater, residing at Drogheda, died in that town on Friday last, after a few days‘ illness from blood poisoning, caused by cutting a corn on his toe. Mr. Carnegie has wired to the Chair» man of the Banbridge Commissioners intimating his intention to present £1,000 to the Free Library fund being organized in that town. Mr. Walter Armstrong, upon whom a knighthood has been conferred, is a director of the National Gallery of Ireland. He was born in Roxburghâ€" shire in 1850, and was educated at At Limerick recently, Patrick O‘â€" Brien, farmer, was committed for trial, charged with firing at and wounding his brother Christopher at Pallasbeg. The accused, as the eldest son, claimâ€" ed a farm which had been assigned by his mother to his brother. Harrow and Oxford. He is the author of a number of works. A child â€"named Michael Johnson, aged eleven months, fell on Sunday from a window of the house in Dubâ€" lin, where he resided with his parents, into the area, a distance of thirty feet, He marvellously escaped instantaneous death, though his head was severely inâ€" jureg, and his right thigh was fracâ€" tured. A farm of 83 statute acres, held by Mr. George Musgrave, at Cahernorry, in County Limerick, was sold on Saturâ€" day, by Mr. Fitt, auctioneer, and reaâ€" lized a high figure. The price paid for the interest starting at £500, went by bids of £25 up to £1,100, at which figure the {arm was sold to Mr. Thos. Conheady. ; ph; he slipped and fell. He struck on the balustrade of the floor below, and thence rebounded to the flags, 20 feet lower down. At Tralee District Council a letter was received from »rd â€" Salisbury‘s secretary, stating â€" ihat the Governâ€" ment had no funds to buy Killarney for a national park. The Chief Secâ€" retary wrote, acknowledging receipt of the resolution, and stating that he had noted it. , An old monument was desired by an elderly maiden lady who died a few weeks ago in Athlone. She left a fortune to bespent in the erection of a church, provided that her body should be converted into ashes and used is making the mortar for buildâ€" ing the edifice. At Croom Peity Sessions, Constable Claxton, Adare, was prosecuted for neglect of duty in allowing a prisoner named Michael Liston, residing at Balâ€" lingarry, to escape from custody. A fine of 2s. 6d. and costs was imposed, but this penalty was increased to perâ€" mit of an appeal. At Skibbereen, during a wedding feast at Kilclerry, a mile or two outâ€" side of the town, a farmer named Minihane, of Collanuller, a married man, and father of six children, got such a terrible beating that his life is said to be in danger, and four young men have been arrested in conâ€" nection withk it. District Inspector Louis M. Lanyon, who was in charge of the Dundrum headquarters disirict of the Irish Conâ€" stabulary, County Dublin, for a numâ€" ber of years past, has retired from the force, after 28 years‘ service. Mr. Lanyon was appointed thirdâ€"class disâ€" trict inspector December, 1871; secondâ€" class, April, 1879, and obtained firstâ€" class rank in May, 1887. ‘At Belfast the case of McGuire v. Meâ€" Cormack was listed for hearing before Mr.Justice Kenney and a common jury, The plaintiff is a barmaid living at Downpatrick, and formerly at Ballyâ€" money, County Antrim. The defendâ€" ant is a licensed trader at Ballymonmey,. The action was brought to recover damâ€" ages for breach of promise of marriage. When the case was called it was statâ€" ed that a settiement had been arrived at, t he defendant agreeing to pay plainâ€" tiff £100 . The consent was made a rule of the court. i L.
