JUNE 13, 1894. CRUEL SPORT IN INDIA, THE JUNCLES, less Accompanied by Physical Suffering and the Swinging Festival. India ix t land of sport, but occidentals are always much surorised to find that kport, to be appreciated by tle average mud Hindoo, must have something cruel abontit, either to man or beast. It is to ludia, by the way, that Lurope and Amer- ica Owe polo, which was introduced into ritish contonments by the Manipuris. Hindoos are great cock fighters, says a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle, Large sums of money are spent on these co .tests, nor are the birds furnished with -pors to make the combats still more san- guinary. The cocks use only nature's weapous and the wounds inflicted are severe enough to satisfy the Hindoo craving tor bloody spectacles. Of horse racing the Hindoo is passionately tond, avd arace wiil practically close all busi- ness, ‘LLe government printing offices at Allahabad have on occasions been closed because the compositors abandoned their cases to gee tue races. A steeplechase where there is every possibility of someone being thrown exerts a Wonjcrial fascina- tion on the people, who do not hesitate to call themselves the greatest physical cow- ards in the world. Their hunting, too, is of the cruel order. Panthers, or, as they are cailed in India, cheetahs, are trained to ,ursue deer and kill them. There is no risk attaching to the hunters, but there is agreat deal of danger to the unfortunate shekari who trains the ferocious beast. Tne panther is blindfolded, a leash ia placed ar und his middle, and he is thus ied to the plain where deer can be found, or to where the deer have been driven by « swarm of beaters, The assemblage, mounted upon elephants or horses or in couveyances, keep a respectful distance trom the cheetah, who is led into the open and the heod quietly removed and the leash slipped. The cheetah, when furiously hungry, has been known to turn upon his trainer as the quickest prey, and this is the supreme, the agouizing moment, The cheetah stands straight, his iorelegs stiffening and his tail slowly mov- ing. He purrs like a Luge cat, looks ang- rily around him, theu, crouching, bouu after his prey. The cheetah catches his victim and, seiz- ing it by the throat, buries his tangs deep- y, sucking in the blood with greedy gasps. Lhe trainer approaches gently, so gently tuat his footfall can scarcely be heard. The cheetah is growling ominously. His tail beats his sides in terocious impatience. Juietly the man steals betore the crouch- sug beast and slips the hood over the eyes; then the leash is passed around and all ianzer is averted. The head of the deer uas to be ssvered, still leaving in the chee- ah’s mouth a yoodly lump of bleeding flesh. There is nothing very sportsmanlike ni this performance, but there is a great dal of danger attaching to it, and that danger devolves upon one man. There have been cases where the panther has ab- sulutely refased to chase the deer, but has d-voted his entire time and attention to the hunting party. Then the game was not voted a success. The Hindus are great devotees of wrest- iing, and Punjab produces giants. Indeed the best wrestlers come from the north, There men are trained from early infancy. Che wrestler trains from babybood. He is picked out on account of his strength, ind his exercises commence when he is out asmall tot. Every muscle is strength- ‘ned by an appropriate exercise, To harden neir calf muscles these wrestlers, some- mes six feet and over, hop about the floor wo hours together in a squatting position, vhile tor increasing the dimensions of their nceps aud the chest mascles they firet lie i.ton the ground, then raising themselves i tie tips of their toes aud with hatds weil ivhed ia, commence to move up and down, iting all their weight on their arms, They nuiinue this antil they have done it 1,000 wes, Aman who has not exercised does ilif he cau keep it up for three or five inutes, After exercising they drink ulk and a course sweetmeat made of gui, viified,tuider aud sugar. Being Hindus wawey only train on milk and ghi and sugar. The wre-tiers are not inde; endent. They generally attach ibemsel ves to some ardent sport, Who pays them so much a month, fher foi part of his entourage, and these sp ris offer enormous sums to get wresilers away from their rivals, Occasionally the sport issues a challenge to another sport, couched in the same language as a manu wouid offer to wager his bird against an- other man’s bird, The pailwar, or wrestier, who wius is always handsomely rewarded, sometimes with a money present, but gen- erally with jewelry. They wrestle for neck- aces—great gold nuts threaded on a string. ihe wrestling ground ia in the open air aud on freshiy-tarned earth, They are not unatteuded by mishaps, for on one oe- casion a pailwar had his neck viciously aroken by his adversary. As it was in & native state there was no trouble ind the carcass was unceremoniously vragged out and the matches proceeded. the Mxbarajah of Nipal waa a great sport and his subjects were heavily taxed to sup- vert bis wrestlers, He was a shrewd old entleman and once sent for an athlete of zreat renown to wrestle with his men. the Panjabi overthrew ail comers, but when he prepared to leave Nipal the maharajah calmly informed him that such could not be the case; that henceforth he belonged to him and assigned him quarters, ife could send for hie friends, but when he had a good man he knew how to retain him. The hint was sufficient and the wrestler stayed. A villainous amusement in India is that calied panjah. It consists in locking havds and seeing who can be made to kneel. There is no}fun in it, but still it is assiduously cultivated and hands are daily being broken in this inane form of sport, Kite-flying is a national affair and bets of the most extraordinary magnitude are made ag to who shall cut his opponents string. ‘Tbe swinging festival, or churruk poojah, is another form of pleasure which could only satisfy a race naturally cruel. There is now a good deal of correapondence be- tween the India office and the government at Calentta with a view of stopp'ng this detestable sport. Hundreds of Europeans visit the scone and leave imisen:urably disgusted, but the natives find much to en- joy in it and beat their tom toms and blow their pipee with great gusto while the poor victims are swinging in midair. This sport has sume remote connection with a religious rite, and the men who permit themselves to be thus tortured are prob- ably fuliiliing some hideous vow. Vows in India are common, and no vow can avail unless its performance inflicts some dreadful punishment upon the body. The affair is thus managed: A devotee has a REAL MERIT is the character- istic of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It cures even after other preparations fail. Get Hoed’s and ONLY HOOD’S. A lady will sometimes spend hours se- ecting dress goods. She is not desirous of giving trouble at all. But there are con- flicting claims. There are considerations of durability, of texture, of draping Priest ley’s dress fabrics have reache/ a niche in the popular esteem when conflict ceases to vex. ft is enough to get Priestley’s black dress goods to feel confident that you have the best. They wear better than any other make. seoves HUNTING DEER WITH A PANTHER IN | Hindoos Care Nothing for Amusement Un- | or Great Danger—The Battle of Hands EE na nape mateo tidtaaien ce cea ee ence Single Copies Two Cents Se = VOL 33.—NO., 279 | , hook paesed through the muscles of his back, which hook is tied to the end of a crosspole. This beam can be tilted for the express purpove of having victims fastened | to it. After th? manis securely lashed to the oe he is lifted-up into the air with his ands folded ou the chest and the body fair- ly hanging by the hooks, There is no other | support. The muscles of the back alone hold him to the hook, The pole is then | rotated by pulling on the ropes at the | counterbalance end, its attachment on the | verticle part permitting of free rotation, This gentle amusement the Indian govern- inent intend to abolish, but whether it will be done without serious trouble is a ques- tion. The Hindus, too, are great swimmers, and swim dog fashion with their hands and feet beating the water. The reasen of this is to scarce their aquatic enemies. There is & great swimming festival after the first rains, when the rivers are swollen. Then Hindus of all ages enter the turbulent flood and swim a given distance, shouting like demons and creating an enormous cormo- tion, Crocodiles follow the swimmers and the slower swimmers fall au easy prey to those awful monsters. But it is sport— sport to thoss who take part in the exciting adventures, but greater sport to the thon- sands who follow the men in the water from the banks, and a victim to the nugger has but little sympathy wasted on him by the eager, fun-loving crowd. MYRIADS OF POISONED HAIRS. What Causes the Sting in the Hand That Lightiy Touches a Nettie. The leaf and stem of a nettle are literally clothed with erect hollow hairs, If one of these hairs is viewed under a microscope, says Good Words, it will be seen that its free end, after tapering toa very fine de- gree of slimness. finishes as a little knob, while in the other direction, after gradu- ally becoming more robust, it suddenly expands into a large bulb corresponding with the poison gland of the adder. The point of the hair is very brittle and con- tact with our skin causes the end to snap off, leaving a hollow needle point which readily pierces our cuticle, and pressing upon the bulb at the other end the poison is forced through the central channel and inflames our blood. The tender handed whostroke the nettle are stung for their pains, because their gentleness has only served to break the brittle points and render them fit for piercing, but the rough handed break the hairs at their thickest = where they are too stout to prick. ur common nettles, thongh they are capable of inflicting considerable annoy- nce upon many persons, are too insignifi- cant, nevertheless, to be included among vegetable nonsters, and we have only re- fer:ed to them for the sake of making clear the enormities of some big cousins— giants of the nettle family. These are, first, the Urtica stimulans and Urtica cre- nulata of the East Indies, species whose attack upon one’s hand is sufficient to cause the arin to swell with a most fright- fu! pain, which lasts for weeks, Buteven these are milk-and-water nettles by com- parison with the Urtica urentissima, which grows in Timor, where it bears the signifi- cant title of Daoun setan, or devil’s leaf. The effects of its sting last for a year and have often produced death.

It was a bnsy night in the barber's shop. Tt was a cold night, Which shows how versatile a nicht can be. The scrape, scrape, Scrape of the razors was interrupt- ed only by the Lead varber’s sapient re- marks; also by teveral customers who had entered and departed, invariably leaving the door open. Paticutly had the head barber gone and closed it each time, A close observer wonld have noticed, how- ever, agrowing vigor in the movements of the head barber and a deepening trown upon his forehead. At last lis victim was released from his chair. Donning his hat and coat, the victim walked to the door, opened it, but instead of passing ont, he tarned for a moment to draw on his gloves, leaving the dour open. “Shut the door!” yelled the head barber; “this ain’t no sawmiil.” The victim seemed surprised. ‘‘Isn’t it?” he retorted. ‘‘Your razor made me think it was.” And he fled into the night, leav- ing the door open behind him.—Harper’s Bazar. . ton, A Disadvantage of Health, A visitor among the poor in the east side of the city found unexpected testimony to the disadvantages of health in one of her recent calls.
