A Peculiar Religious Sect.

At the village of Toox, near Malaga,
Spain, a peculiar sect has been disturbed by
the interference of the authorities The chief
tenet of the believers is that every kind of
covering of the body is displeasing to God
Why, if the Creator had wanted man TO be
covered, he would 10 doubt have supplied
him with fur, or a coat of feathers. or
scales, they say. Man has no right to i'm
prove upon Gods management OF creation,
and, therefore, both he and she should adopt
the dress worn by Adam and Eve previous
to the fall and the adoption of the fig leaf.
But the police would not let them They
were all very simple minded creatures, and
were let off with a small fine aftor having
been clothed and promising not to go with
out clothes again.
A number of them were handed over to
hypnotists for experimenting upon, and were
found excellent subjects. One of them be-
ing told to perspro at once commenced COW
ering herself with copious sweat. Another
was told to climb a steep hill, and immedi-
ately started climbing upon the floor, making
great eXertions and finishing by getting lit
orally out of breath Being told she had ar
rived on top and might repose little, she
squatted ON the floor and took Il long time to
reposO herself after the exertion. Chicago

The All Night Dance In which "OIe

A writer in the american Magazine
gives very felicitous description of IA
dancing party in the sparsely settled por-
tion of Virginia,
These parties are events of great inns
portance, drawing friends and acquain>
tances for many miles around. They
will come, perhaps from distant counties,
a days journey or more, to participate in
the festivities
The method of travel is ION horse-
back, and as the roads are bad and fire,
quently bridgeless, the journeying must
be accomplished between "sun up" and
dark This would be sufficient reason, if
there were no other, for keeping up their
merry>making through the entire night
as is the universal custom.
Old and young join in the dancing,
which IS only suspended for the hearty
supper at midnight, and the sweet sup
per" as it is called, OF cakes, jelleg and
tsrts, which is furnished just before day
break
AS the sun rises, the visitors mount
their horses and start on their homewsrd
journey, perhaps of many hours dura.

In the log cabin days of the early set e
tiers in the northern states, the all night
dance was a common feature of social
life, and old and young, for miles around,
were participants. They were a hardy
race. perhaps because they enjoyed
themselves, took plenty of exercise aud
but little medicine. They enjoyed a
rugged old age, because they found med
Icine for their simple ailments in nature 5
remedies, the roots and herbs of near>by
fields and forests. which cured them, and
left no after i'll effects
The people of today might be more
rugged and enjoy life better if they
would have recourse to natures remedies
instead of mineral drugs. With the pur-
pose of giving them chance to try this
course, II. II. Warner e Co.. proprietors
