1t was eight o'clock when 1 entered the
house and already it was full, and so too
were q good many of the men. A platform
of four planks on trestles, with four oil lamps
that gave forth more smoke than light,
formed the stage The female spectators
were seated on improvised benches of planks
and boxes which bent under their weight.
Behind them were, with one exception, the
male spectators, some Of them perched on the
window-sills The only orchestra was the sea
wind that whistled through many an open
space and the breaking of the waves on the
golden sand along the beach. The exception
/ have alluded to was the Marie, who, by VII.
tue of his official rank, had been given seat
in the front row among the handsomest
ladies. The performance was composed of char
acter dancing, acrobatic feats, sleight-of-
hand tricks, all favored with good deal Of
horse-play and jokes so old that Shem, Ham
and Japhet must have resorted to their use
to while weary hour away when out In the
Ark. To the audience, however, all that the
performers did had apparently the flavor OF
novelty. The married women and the young
girls fairly shook from head to foot with
laughter. Many of them were quite pretty,
with that yellow brown hair such as IS only
to be seen on the coast of Normandy, and
those downy, tanned cheeks that leave taste
of the salt air on your lips after you have
kissed them. More than once did whole
row come to grief as bench broke down
under their excited movements. The laugh
ter was contagious and the men-fshermen,
field laborers, stable boys and walters, for
most part-ioined heartily in the shrill shrieks
of the gentle sex.

Bogus Modern Antiquities.

GLondon Standard
In the east the tourist has learned to look
often before putting his hand in his pocket
once. But he has no less reason to exercise
caution when in localities where imposition
might be less suspected. The steamer pas
senger who buys Paris-made gems at Colombo
is a scott among the Moormen of Ceylon; but
there is just as much risk of buying corals at
Honolulu which have been imported from
the Marquesas for the gullibility of the home
coming colonists. In "the summer isles of
Eden" the Chinese are already doing a fine
business in old Hawaiian gods, necklaces,
and other implements which "have been
dug up in trenching the fields"-a state
ment quite accurate if it were only
qualified by q saving clause telling how they
had been buried there by their lucky finder.
Demand creates supply, and accordingly we
are not astonished to learn that in FIJI :" gen.
uine old cannibal folks" are now freely
offered to unsuspicious voyagers, and that OF
late there has arisen a steady trade in human
femora nawed by cannibal Kanaks. The
man who now accepts at any price maize and
dahlia bulbs "found in the mummy cave of
Pharoah's daughter" is hardly to be safely
intrusted with money; and surely, after the
many warnings they have had, there ought
not to be great number of pious pilgrims
who treasure up the Chinese scent bottles
discovered in the pyramids" with verses on
them from poems 1900 years later than the
avowed date of the flask.
But when Peruvian or Mexican Indian
offers an Inca or Aztec antiquity, is it not
CARRYING skepticism to stage when it ceases
to be an archseologists virtue to doubt its
genuinenesss Unfortunately, there are wagon
loads of Toltec gods and relics of sun worship
for sale in Anhuac or Cuzco which are as YER
table fabrications as the Deuteronomy which
Mr.. Shapiro did not sell, or the pottery for
which the Germans gave him $4,000, or the
Samson's coffln-with the giants name mis-
spelled-which was introduced to the Pales-
tine exploration fund as an unsophisticated
relic. The foreign demand for American
ANTIQUITIES" is now so great that one manu-
facturer in Indiana concentrates his attention
chiefly on s'mound builders pipes" In Ohio
a large business is done in hematite celts and
gorgets cut from blue slate. In southern Hi
nois the knaves who make prehistoric pot
teryn have so over done the trade that it nc
longer pays; and, generally speaking ono
has to be as careful in examining Indian
relics as in specifically scrutinizing the auto
graphs, postage stamps, Judean shekels, anc

ibrous on the inside, and from two to three
inches thick, but covered without by asmooth,
light green rind. This husk is either split
with blow of heavy wood-knife and
torn from the nut, or else the nut is
husked by splitting the rind on an iron blade
set in o log. 1t is from the fibre of the husk
that the mats and cordage of commerce are
made The fibre is rot-proof in water, and in
tropical ships is popular in the form OF coir
rope The uses of the cocoanut in all forms
are manifold. The value of the fruit for
food is its least recommendation. The meat
of the nut is macerated and soaked in water,
and pressed, when it yields q rich oil, very
pleasant in flavor at first, but soon growing
rancid on exposure. This oil is also obtained
by boiling the meat, and furnishes stearine
for candles. 1t is used pure for burning, and
in soap making. Soap made from cocoanut
oil forms lather in salt water. Mixed with
resin, the oil makes q valuable pitch for
caulking. 1t is largely used in tropical cook
cry, and ON holidays many of the aborlgines
and blacks besmear themselves with it as II
it were O perfume. The meat from
which the oil is obtained is sayory,
but, being rich in fat, is very indigestible.
A green cocoanut contains only a milky
fluid which generally consolidates on the in
side of the she'll When the nut becomes
over-ripe on the tree, only watery milk is
left in the shell. This rapidly sours, when
the nut becomes worthless. If it is picked,
however, before it grows too old, the milk
preserves its sweetness.
The leaves of the cocoanut palm furnish the
most durable thatch known in the tropics.
They are also extensively worked into mats,
screens, baskets, boxes, and so on When
dampened and exposed to the sun until the
green portion rots, the fibre is carded and
woven into coarse cloth. The wood is fine
grained and hard, and is used in ornamental
work under the name of porcupine woodj
The fibrous heart of the dstems is made into
cordage The husk is used for burning, and
makes an excellent scrubbing brush.

At q Recent soldiers Reunion.
TPeck's Sun.

A touching incident is reported as having
occurred at Indianapolis during the recent
reunion of the boys in blue. An aged col
ored man and his grandson, stood on the
walk, looking at the procession as it passed
nv. The little fellow, full of childish thought
less humor, thought he saw something funny,
and began to litter and laugh. The aged
grandfather, with solemn look and sincere
tone of voice, reprimanded the boy, saying:
''Don't We laff at dem ole soldier mems, son;
da don't look so mighty fine now, but when
We old grandaddy fust saw 'em comm down
wander in South Calina, da looked mighty
like angels of de Lord, Da don't step so spry
and spruce as da used to, but da brought dliber-
ance to me and mine. Don't do it agin, son. !"
What train of thought there must have
been passing through that gray-haired old
colored mans brain as he looked upon that
procession of veterans He could see, in his
minds eye, his former situation, how he was
born in bondage and slavery and toiled. He
could remember how he used to call on GOD,
in the quiet hours of the night, to set him
free. And well did he remember the day that
PRAYER was answered, when these men, now
fast growing old, and whose ranks are being
thinned out year after year, came, and he
felt he was free man. What emotiopsMust
have pervaded that old colored mans whole
being as he stood there and looked upon that
procession of old soldiers, taking a retro
spectisa glance over life. His reprimand
.ssasr fIis3Te than the simple words he
kyoke.

LOVED YOU sol


love thee, dear, come back to me,
My weary heart cries out for thee,
TO soc thy soft eyes radiant shine
With their old lovelight, rare, divine
And hear thy lips SO tenderly
Speak low and lovingly to me-
My heart it cries with bitter pain,
For that will ne'er occur again.
The blossoms, beautiful and sweet,
That you so often brought to greet
Me, with their beauty and perfumes,
White roses, lilies, orange-blooms,
And pansies, with their hearts OF gold;
The bliss they give is all untold.
Why brought you not to me the while
One lotus of the far-off Niles'
That I might eat it and forget
My loss of thee, the toll, the fret,
The cares of life: for would cast
The memory of the far-off past
Away, for naught can bring to me
Thee, with thy voice of melody
0 Heaven above alone can know
flowed you So loved you sol
