Interesting Races.

1t is said that Major Biddulph, sta
toned on the Cashmere boundary, has
prepared report upon the customs,
languages and the folklore of the sim
gular communities among whom he has
been residing for a long time. From
Major Biddolph's advantages and op-
portunities may be expected. says the
Calcutta Pioneer, a complete account of
the people who are survival of the old
Aryans, from whom all civilized man
kind of the present day is probably de-
scended. Sergeant-Major Bellew,
meanwhile. has been examining few
men from the cantons on the southwest
of Dardistan. peopled by a similar race
who in one respect are still more inter-
esting, for their country has never yet
been visited by a civilized traveller. But
in appearance and language they close
ly resemble the Dards, and unlike them
have not embraced the creed of their
Mohammedan neighbors.- The tongues
spoken in all these hills are, for the
most part, Aryan; not descended from
Sanskrit, and, indeed, of earlier origin
than that classical language. On the
northern slopes of the mountain Parsee
words prevail; in the southern cantons
some of the words resemble Greek,

rope. They make (and freely consume)
grape wine, something like crude Ber-
gundy. Those who are not Mussulmans
believe in one God, but employ the in
tercession of minor powers, represented
by images. They also occasionally can
onize great men whom they have lost
by death. They are usually monoga-
nous, opposed to divorce, and strict de-
tenders OF the chastity of their unmar-
ried girls. These latter have blue, gray,
or hazel eyes; black hair is the exception
among them, and. when young, they
are of such remarkable comeliness as to
be in great demand in the slave mar
kets of adjacent countries. Authentic
information concerning these interest
ing races cannot but be anxiously
awaited by all who realize the nature
of the questions involved. London

rheumatic fever confined her for weeks
to her room. Then the fatigue and ex-
citement consequent on Maggie's mar
riage threw her back into the inertia of
invalidism, and the adventure was al
most forgotten in its painful results.
As the warm weather came on she
improved and began to go into society
again. One day there was to be lawn
party at the Bishops and she promised
to meet Archie there. She was sitting
resting under great oak, when she saw
him coming towards her. A gentleman
was with HIM, whom she recognized at
a glance; she had introduced herself
once to him as Miss Crowther. What
was Archie going to do to her? She
felt almost like crying; but she stood
bravely up as they advanced, and in
her white muslin dress, with roses at
her waist aad throat, she made a very
lovely picture.
"Good afternoon, Cousin Kate.''
"Cousin Archie, good afternoon"
Kate, this is my friend Mr.. Henry
Crowther.'
She blushed violently, but she did not
lose her self-possession. "I have met
Mr.. Crowther before, once, when I was
on little private masquerade, and as
sumed the character of his sister. I hope
I am forgiven"
elf had sister, she would have
been honored by the assumption. Since
the momentary favor Ihave never ceased
to regret my want"
They sat long under the pleasant
shade, and IN the evening rode slowly
home together under the July moon.
Before they parted both had acknowl-
edged to their hearts an interest that
might be a dearer tie than even that of
brother and sister.
For few weeks Harry Crowther was
constantly coming with Archie to call
on the Leslies, either for one pretext or
another. Then he began to come by
himself and to come without any pre-
text at all. 1t had been long evident to
Archie that Harry and Kate loved each
other very dearly, and at last even the
dim eyes of her grandfather began to
perceive how matters stood.

Peculiarities Of the California Chap
paral Cock.

An interesting story respecting the
habits under peculiar circumstances, of
the chapparal cock (Geococcyr Calitor-
nianus), commonly known as the ssroad
runner" is related by California lady
who takes pleasure in reproducing any
interesting matter regarding the nat
ural beauties of her native State:
1t appeared that family named
Davies, being engaged in olive-culture,
occupied the .:OId Mission'' at San
Diego, around which is dense growth
of cactus, passing through which, one
day. MIR. Davies heard strange
noise resembling the sound made
by a pair of pigeons billing and cooling,
winding up with succession of short,
quick, jerky notes, thus-per-root! per-
root! per-root! The listener searched
until he discovered the cause of his sur
prise, which was nest of four young
birds of the species Geococcy1 Califor-
aaia'aats. He took them home, and sue
ceeded easily in raising them in coop,
like chickens, the old ones feeding
them. Their beautiful plumage soon
attracted the attention of a number of
visitors to the Old Mission, and notes
of the captives have already been
given in the San Francisco papers.
The birds were finally released. but
they regularly returned at night to the
coop and fingered around becoming sat-
isfied habitues of the barnyard. Two of
them died. The two remaining fought
until one vanished the other, which for
a while repaired to the cactus, but re-
turned with the nest-making season.
In the meantime, the sole remaining
bird had become so selfish in its at
tachment to Miss Davies that it
became a nuisance to the house.

A Real Terror.

Every little while we hear of some
bully, who has been the terror of a
Western town coming to grief. A man
may go along for years and have people
afraid of him. but at last he tackles
some plucky young fellow from the
East, who doesn't mind his brag and
who sails in and gives him lively fight.
Recently young man from Maine went
to a Kansas town and started a weekly
paper. Infesting that town was des-
perado named Darkeye Dave. He al
ways lngged a revolver in each boot
leg, two more at his belt, BOWEL knife
down his back and rifle in his hand.
He was a sort of a fellow who would
stand on corner and yell so that he could
be heard four miles, and would implore
eighteen to twenty men to get together
and fight him. And the whole town
was afraid of him. The young jour-
nalist in the free and easy style that is
usually adopted by men of his class 90.
ing West, referred to the desperate as
a slab-sided old gonus. The settlement
was aghast when they read it and anx-
iously awaited the meeting between the
editor and desperado. 1t occurred.
The desperate told the editor that he
had just two minutes to apologize in.
But the editor had heard of bullies; he
had read stories of how they had been
cowed by Eastern pluck and he deter
mined to show the natives how it was
done. He clinched the desperate. The
combat was terrific. They went down
When they rose the desperate started
for the woods on the run: But, alas
the editor was keeping ahead of him.
and the desperate overlook him, and
bruised him around on the ground and
slung him into the air and nearly tore
his clothes off of him. Then he let him
apologize and get back to his office.
He said he didn't want to kill the ed.
itor, because he did not know any better
than to act as he had done. The des.
perado still stands on the corner and
crows, and the editor always refers to
him as IS Colonel. ."=Boston Post.
