The tribes of North Sound bold festival
every year in October or November in mem
ory of deceased kinsmen, and Petroff thus
describes the performances: AT sunset the
men assemble i'll the kashga, and, after a
hurried bath, ornament each other by trac-
ing various figures on the naked back with
mixture of oil and charcoal. Two boys, who
for this occasion are respectively named the
raven and the hawk, are in attendance, mix
ing the pe:at, etc Finally, the faces also
are thickly smeared; and then the females
are summoned into the kashga. After a
brief lapse of time a noise is heard, shrieks
and yeils, snorting and roaring; and the
disguised men, emerging from the firehole,
show their heads above the floor, blowing
and putting like seals. 1t is impossible to
distinguish any complete human figure, as
some are crawling with their feet foremost,
others running on their hands and feet, while
the head of another is seen protruding be
tween the legs of a companion. They all
cling together and move in concert like one
immense snake.
A number of men wear masks represent
ing the heads of animals, and the unsightly
beings advance upon the spectators, but
chiefly endeavoring to frighten the women,
who have no means of escaping molestatiou
e1ceot by buying off the actors with pres
ents. Knowing what was before them, they
have brought the kantags or wooden bowls
full of delicious morsels-beluga blubber,
walrus meat, whale Oiled berries and other
daintics. When each of the maskers has
eaten and filed bowl or two with delicacies
TO take home, they indulge in a pantomims
and gesture play of a highly grotesque char
acter. After completing the ceremony in
the kashga, the maskers frequently visit
some of the dwellings, and receive gifts in
each, the whole performance ending with
singing, dancing and feasting In tine kashga y

How TO Reduca Tiesh.

1t is not necessary for a corpulent per
son to vigorously deny himself everything
good to eat in order TO be less bulky. 1t
is positive fact that q cup of water taken
after each meal viii rapidly reduce flesh.
Eat what you like, rich grsyies, sweets,
pastry, anything, but drink nothing at
meals, and in few minutes after rising
from the table drink the cup Of no. boil

feeling you will experience. IL is a little
odd, but hot water taken before the meal

Counterfeit silver In Circulation.

There is, by all accounts, a good deal Of
counterfeit silver in circulation in the rural
districts, and exactly how it gets into circu-
lation no one seems to know. A friend Of
mine, who does considerable supply b'si-
ness with the rural tradesmen offers passa-
ble explanation. He has recently, he SAYS
received a number Of letters from people in
the south and southwest, ASKING him to sup
ply them with counterfeit money. At first
these letters puzzled him, as hecould not con-
ceive how the writers, who were strangers to
him, could have got his address and the idea
that he dealt in such a commodity as thew
wished to negotiate for. At last, however,
it struck him that some of the peddlers
whom he supplied with gods might be en-
gagged in the business Of showing the queer,
and that they had taken the liberty to give
his name as the person who furnished the
bogus currency to them. rhe theory is quite
plaVsible. Peidlers get everywhere about
the country in the south, and could readily
put out a large quantity of base coin among
the Ignorant blacks and whites they deal
with in the way of trade. A shrewd peddler,
knowing the country well, could also pick
his mon and sell large quantities of bad
money 10 them with comparative safety to

Curiosities Of FrIendshin.

Curiosities of friendship would cover
nearly all cases of noted masculine or
feminine affinities the world has known.
The law that governs friendship has often
been stated. A general impression is that
oppOsites match, mate and cooperate more
readily than similar temperaments.
Goethe could form q friendship most
readily with children. Strong natures
like pliable natures. Highly intellectual
people find necessary rest with those Of
less intellect and more emotion. There
was philosophy in the keeping of testers
or ''fools" by those who were burdened
by affairs Of state Walter Scott loved
nothing SO well as his dogs. George
Eliot's friendships were for men. Blondes

Some persons seem to find much COM
fort in the statement that Swiss women
dispute the most lucrative trades with
men; but really before bowling down and
worshiping the country of economy, it
will do no harm to remember that the

ure with the men and even with the ami

A Suggestion for Inventors.

The Railroad Gazette, referring to the
Numerous patents on car couplers, and
the difficulty experienced by the railroad
officials in determining the lines of the
future standard Janney type coupler,
quotes the sayings of a fscetious master
mechanic. He suggests that car coupler
inventors should turn their attention to
an automatic locomotive engineer-one
who would never look on the cup when it
is read, never lose time, never have leaky
fiues or q hot box, and never misread or
ders, have a collision or stick in snow
bank. He says he feels sure such an in
yention would attract the attention of cur
great railroad monopolists and fulfill a
long felt want, especially il 1t could be
warranted to run 200 miles after a nickel
had been inserted in the slot.-Scientiflc

The Russian Tax Collector.

There is said to be no instance in which
peasant ever refused to pay his taxes.
Once a year the collector enters the VII
laCe, taps at the window and calls
"Kazar' Then the man or woman of the
house comes out with the money, which
Is always ready, tosses it into the bag Of
the collector, who does not count it, b,-
cause he knows it Is all the moujik has
got. When night comes the collector en-
ters the best house in the village, hangs
his money bag under the image of the
Saviour, and carouses or sleeps till morn
ing, being perfectly confident that his
money will not be disturbed. because of
the venerstion for the car, whom he rep
resents, and the image under which the
treasure is placed. Eleroy Cur

And was promptly invited to court,
Where he tried to explain. II was only q
trick.
For X. NJ. Q. simply meant, Come Kiss
Me Quick"
We hear every day of a large railroad. too.
That's known through the land as the C.
B.&Q.;
Alas all their engineers went on strike
They can't get car moved, try as they like;
You see they've been paying poor wages
for years
And that's why they lost all their bes,
engineers;
Now just let the company offer good pay
And then business and men will return
right away:
Then the C. b & Q. need not feel so sick
The letters will then mean Come Back
Quick.
There's deep hidden meaning both useful
and true
Contained in the monogram b. c. @.
1t means that by unanimous vote
The lowest priced ciOthier is j. NJ. Knote
The spring line be bought is the finest in
And the goods are all marked with the
prices way down.
Now, should you be needing spring suit
or coat,
There no one to serve YOU as cheaply as
Knote,
And those that come early will get the best
pick,
For B. G. Q. signifies. buy Clothing

Specimens of African Sheen.

African sheep, as represented by speci
mems in the Berlin geological gardens
vary greatly in size and form, some being
large and clumsy, while others are quite
small and graceful, with slender, deei
like limbs. The color is always black
and white. They are not, like Europeer
species, covered with wool, but have only
stiff, coarse hair, which is short and even
except on the necks OF the bucks. They
are useful only as food. for which they
are highly priced by. the blacks. .--Arkan

A Jndicious Judgment.

In a bridge car the other day man was
reading Stepnisk's description of the

did he denoupce the outrsgcs against
human rights perpetrated by it No, he
wasn't built that way. He just turned 10
his neighbo- and remarked, 1T seems 20
me that the form of government in Russia
is somewhat too strict" There is q
judicious Judgment for you.--New yorl:

"raoM OUT ETERNAL SILENCE"

From out eternal silence do we come,
Into eternal silence do we go;
For was there not time, aud swift or slow
Must come again, when all this worlds loud hun
Was uaught to u.s. and shall again grow dumb
Through all eternity! Between two low,
Dark, stony portals, with much empty show
or tinkling brass and sounding fife and drum.
The endless caravan OF life moves on;
Or whence or whittier, 10 what destiny,
But He who dwells beyond the fsrthest dawn
Knows, yet reveals not, erermore even He
In silence wrspt, for all the thunder's roll,
Save for His deathless message 10 our souli
