A Rear Festival.

On arriving at the scene of the cere-
mony the visitor found about thirty
persons, chiefly residents of the place
assembled and dressed in their gala
costumes, which consisted chiefly of
old Japanese brocaded garments. From
the commencement to the end sake
played almost as prominent part as the
bear himself. The guests sat around
the fireplace in the center of the hosts
hut, and an offering was first made to the
god of fire. This was done in this wise:
The Amos, who were all seated, raised
their left hands, holding drinking
vessel to their foreheads, while the
palm of the right was also elevated
slightly. A small stick lying across the
cup was then dipped in the sake and
the contents sprinkled on the floor to
the fire god, the stick being then waved
three or four times over the cup. A
formula was uttered by each person
present and the sake drank in long
draughts, the stick being meanwhile
employed in holding up the mustache.
A similar ceremony then took place
in front of the bears cage. This
was followed by dance around
the cage by the women and
girls. Offerings of drink were then
made as before to other gods, and final
ly the bear was taken out of his cage
by three young men specially selected
for the purpose. The animal was killed
by pressing the throat firmly against
large block of wood. The body was
then cleaned and placed neatly on a
mat, food and drink being laid before
| il, and ornaments of various kinds
being placed on its ears, mouth, etc.
Mats were spread around the bears,
the guests took their seats on them,
and the drinking commenced. This
continued for some time, until the
Amos sank in state of helpless intoxi-
cation on their mats. The women in
another part of the village mean time
amused themselves with various dances,
which Dr. Scheube describes at length.
The following day, as rule, the de-
bauch is continued. The body of the
bear is then cut up in such a manner
that the hide remains attached to the
head. The blood was collected in vessels
and drank by the men. The liver was cut
out and eaten raw. The rest of the flesh
was distributed among the partakers OF
the feast. The writer states that, al
though hardened in a certain sense to
the sight of blood, he could not look
without horror on the sight of the
drunken crowd, with their faces and
bodies smeared with blood. The skull
of the bear, stuffed with charms, IS
placed in a sacred place on the east side
of the house, and the mouth is filled
with bamboo leaves. 1t is then always
preserved and venerated as a sacred OBJ

After FOur Years.


The Philadelphia Press tells of the
affecting way in which Mrs. Melville,
wife of Engineer Melville, of the lost
Jeanette, received the first letter from
her husband after silence of four years
Says the Press Mrs. Melville, the wife
of Lieutenant G. W. Melville, who went
out as chief engineer of TIE Jeanette
exploring party, yesterday at her home
at Sharon Hill, near Philadelphia, re-
ceived letter from her husband. For
four years the anxious mother and three
little girls have been awaiting letter
from him. Yesterday morning Maud,
who 10 about fifteen years of age, went,
as she has thousands of times in over
three years, to the postoffice to see if
there was letter. Mrs. Melville was
seated at home sewing, and the other
two girls were playing with their dolls
Suddenly one of the little ones said:
"Why, mamma, something's the matter
with Maud. actually believe there's
letter from papa" Maud's feet did
not appear to touch the ground. She
broke through the gate like one pur-
sued by some terrible phantom. With
tears OF Joy streaming down her face
and choking with sobs she threw her.
self at her mothers feet, dropping
the letter and crying out: "Oh,
mamma, at last at last it is from
papa Oh, it is from papal !" The
mother tore it open and read it at a
glance, and then reread it several times
over. All the afternoon and up to going
to bed last night the children were
doing nothing else but reading over
papa's letter. With the intelligence
that it contained of the fate of others
and the knowledge that just now he
himself with the search party is facing
similar dangers, there was nothing in
the letter to give hope of the return OF
the husband and father. Written on a
single sheet of tough, heavy note paper,
the letter read as follows:

Kate Field on Dress.

Kate Field has written and continues
to write some curious things. Among
the latest illusions of that gifted lady
is the following in Our Continent:
There certainly are no women in
the world who think so much about
dress or devote so much time to it as
Americans. The result, however, is
hardly commensurate with the expen-
diture of time and money. To think
about dress does not necessarily involve
what is seriously called thought. When
monkeys act like men we do not accuse
them of thought. We attribute to them
wonderful power of imitation. In
dress we are nothing but monkeys.
We have not vet acquired sufficient
taste or knowledge to make our own
fashions, so we wait for the modistes of
Paris to tell us what they please and
then adopt their ideas regardless of
consequences. France is the most ar
tistic nation in Europe, but we should
take our France with discretion. What
is suitable for one is not necessarily
suitable for all, and it is we'll known
that costumes prepared for the Ameri-
can market are 'louder" in style than
those intended for home customers,
American patrons are sought because
they are willing to pay extravagant
prices, but their judgment, as a rule.
does not command respect.
