Snperstitiou About Thunder.

Almost all the tribes in the United
States believe the thunder to be
produced by the wings OF a great
bird, and that the lightning was the
serpents that were invariably con-
nected with the thunder bird.
Among the ancient tribes of the
Mississippi valley the thunder, there
fore. soon became a thunder god,
who could be propitiated with sac
ri6ces. The Illinois Indians offered
up a small dog when a child hap
pened to be sick upon day when
there was much thunder, supposing
the latter to be the cause of the NAL
ady. Many incidents, like contia-
grations, We're attributed to this an
gry god, and some tribes did bloody
penance of Precipitation, after burn
ing to death their own children.
Statements that the Indians adored
the thunder, seem to be errone-
Gus. 1t was the cause OF the thun-
der that they worshipped, and before
which they burned tobacco and
buffalo meat, or cut off the joints OF
their fingers, or threw their children
into the fire when they were over
come with fear. The Peruvians had
as an idol a stone which had been
split by the lightning. They offered
it gold and silver. The natives of
Honduras burned cotton-seed when
it thundered. Other tribes made
no sacrifices on the approach of a
storm, but abased themselves in ab-
iect fear. The wild rice, being aquat-
ic and looking like an arrow or
spear, it is also attributed to the
thunder spirit as its origin. In Mex
leo great temples were built upon
the sacred spots where lightning
had struck. A curious notion among
the Peruvians was that the preserv-
ed bodies of twin children who died
in infancy should be worshipped,
supposing that one of them was the
son of the thunder, the origin of the
idea being the fact that the thunder
god of that people was one of the ce-
lestial twins of Apocatequin and Pi-
querad. This tradition was utilized
by Pizzarro's missionaries to teach
the Indians the doctrine of the Trim
/ lty.

Value of a Tanned Human Skin.

The firm of Donaldson, Donovan
& Co., a well-known boot and shoe
firm in Boston, loaned to Governor
Butler a human skin which had been
tanned. and the Governor made a
great flourish over it at the Tewks-
bury investigation. A reporter call
ed upon Mr.. Donaldson to day,
when the following conversation
followed
Mr.. Donaldson, did you ever re-
cover the skin from Governor But
Ter ?"
No have not, but | am going to.

Man is a creature that has always
elected our unqualified admiration
he is in many capacities useful, and
by a iudicious arrangement of blue
cloth and brass buttons, can often
be rendered to certain degree or
namental. In the sphere of action
for which his many characteristics
qualify him, We accept him without
a murmur, but when it comes to
being foistered upon us as a house
keeper, we Indignantly reject him.
We have wintered and summered
him in that capacity, and he is an
ignominious failure. For the orna-
mental part of house keeping, he is
peculiarly untitled his soul is clos
ed and his vision dim to the truly
beautiful. He scorns bric-a-brac,
and is not susceptible to the enno-
bling and refining influence of that
home angel, the tidy. If there were
fifteen tides on one chair he would
manage to crumble ten under him,
and get up with the rest on his back.
He is a sworn enemy to all decora-
tive art, and if not watched will 60
to bed on the pillow shams. lie
pulls the bed clothes out by the
roots when he gets up; he leaves wa
ter in the wash bowl, and throws the
towels on the floor. He makes a
hat rack out of the piano and ex-
poets to find his slippers Just where
ne left them last week. His idea OF
being comfortable is to throw open
every door and window in the house,
and, as TO becoming arrangement
of lights and shades, his mind is a
perfect blank. He was never known
to make a knot in a towel and chase
flies out of the room, and if he does
not see what he wants the minute he
opens the bureau drawer, he knows
it is not there, and you cannot con-
vince him to the contrary. He lacks
adroitness, and always drags out the
weak legged chair for a visitor to sit
on. His mind is not nimble at TAX
ing hints. We have seen man, who
understood Emerson, help himself
to the last slice of cake, with COM
pany present, and unblushingly call
for more, Notwithstanding his wife
was kicking his shins under the Ia
BILE and winking at him over it. 1t
will readily be seen that he Is, by
nature and education, totally dis
qualified to act as goddess of the
| home. His occasional presence is
necessary to have him patronize the
deserving institution at least three
times day, and it looks well to ste
him sitting around in the evenings /,
but it would never do to leave him
in charge of the dearest spot on
earth. He would bankrupt domes-
tic bliss in a week. Let all who are
interested in the preservation and
maintenance of the fireside, humbly
petition a few able bodied, industrl-
Gus women to continue the time
honored and laudable employment
of housekeeping, or, at least to post

What . Farmer Needs.
A farmer needs his vacation Just

A farmer needs his vacation Just
as much as any other man of busi-
ness needs one. A weeks run to
town after the busy season viii do
him a world ofgood. And they need
to visit other farmers, to learn, if
possible, easier or better methods of
farming or OF living. They need to
attend farmers conventions and
organizations to gain new ideas
something to broaden or enlarge our
views of life. People who always
stay at home are sure to see dark
sides and shadows of their own lives.
They need to learn and to realize
that storms and droughts and thun-
ders and showers and freshets visit
other farms beside their own; that
flies and insects thrive in all degrees
of longitude; that flies and dirt ac-
cumulate and annoy other house
holds besides the one they preside
over. In short, they need to learn
how other people live. Could farm
ers manage it so as to be confined
less to their farm, could they work
more in partnership, as do men in
other business, or could they believe
it profitable to employ higher
grade Of laborers-men who they
could trust alone for day or week,
or could they early train their sons
and daughters to have a care and an
interest in the affairs of the house
hold, then they could oftener find
the opportunity for leaving the farm
for a short season of recreation and
enjoyment, and thus be in reality
what they have the name of being
the most independent class of people
in the world.

Wonderful Horsemans ship.

This morning | witnessed a won
derful display of horsemanship. 1t
took place in the Petroffsky Park.
Here, in the presence of the Grand
Duke Nicholas, and most of the for
eign officers and guests, the regiment
of Cassack Guards went through an
extraordinary series of exercises
which throw the most daring teats
of the circus into the shade. The
entire regiment went past at full
gallop in loose order, with many Of
the men standing upright in their
saddles, others upon their heads
with legs in air, many leaping on the
ground and then into the saddle
again at full speed, some springing
over the horses head and picking
up stones from the ground, and yet
regained their seats. While perform
ing these feats all were brandishlng
their sabres and firing pistols, throw
ing their carbines into the air and
catching them again, and yelling
like maniacs. Some men went past
in pairs, standing with leg on each
others horses-one wild fellow car
ried off another dressed as a woman.
The effect of the scene was absolute
ly bewildering, and it seemed as if
the whole regiment had gone mad.
Upon a signal being given the regi-
ment divided into two parts. One
rode off the other halted and made
their horses lie down on the ground
and lie beside them waiting, as In
war, the approach ofan enemy. The
other section of the regiment then
charged down and in an instant
every horse was on his feet, every
rider in his saddle and with yells
they rode at their supposed enemy.
When the manPuvers We're over the
regiment rode past, singing, unsom-
monty well to gather, a military
chorus. Altogether it was marvel
Gus exhibition of daring horseman-
ship, and one hardly knew whether
to admire most the docility and met
el of the steeds, or the skill and
courage of their riders. All the for
eign officers and guests We're no less
astonished than delighted MoscoU

Keeping a Cow.

II can remember" says Henry
Ward Beecher, when | received an
old COW in payment of bad debt.
1t was a very bad debt and | came
to consider it very bad payment.
She was thin COW, but the former
owner said she was better than she
looked, being cross between a jersey
and the Durham. She looked as if
she might have been cross between
an old hair trunk and an abandoned
hoop-skirt. l kept the brute three
days and no one, except perhaps
Lieutenant Atwell, could everappre-
ciate the suffering l endured in that
time. The first night she broke
through the fence, and reduced to a
pulp all the under clothing belong
ing to my next door neighbor. She
put her horn through my bath tub,
and ate up all my geraniums. She
was to give three gallons of milk a
day. but she seemed to be short just
then, and never had that to spare
while we kept her. The second day
she walked into the kitchen and up
set a pan of butter and tub of lard.
Then she fell down a well, and when
| got her out, at cost of five dol
lars, she took the collie, whooping
cough, or something, and kept US
awake all night. Not green thing
was left in my garden my neigh
Dor came over to see me, and said ::
Now, | don't desire any quarrel, but
/ want you to keep your COW out of
my shrubbery."
"And / want you my friend" said
l, to keep your shrubbery out of my
COW it spoils the taste of the milk. ;"
"Ever afterwards there was a cool
ness between US, and my neighbor's
wife ceased to patronize our house
when she wanted to borrow a cupful
of yeast powder"
