DANCING PRTRsTEssEs.

Curious Ceremonies by Which She
 Eastern Sun Goddess Is Populated.
 Here the old custom of the sacred dance is kept up, and group of young prisstesses are in waiting to repeat the measures danced by Uzume before the Sun Goddess cave in pre- historic times, writes an Oriental eor- respondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat The little priesteeses are all between the ages of nine and twelve, as timid, gentle and harmless little things as deer, that often stray in and watch them. Their dress is the old, old costume of the imperial court, pie turesque lower garment or divided skirt of the brightest cardinal red silk that half cov- CTS the white kimono, with square sleeves and pointed neck filled up high with alternate folds of red and blue.
 When they dance they wear over this loose kimonos of white gauge, painted with the wistaria crest of the Kasuga temple, the front of tho gsuzy garment half covering the red skirt and the back pieces trailing on the mats. Their faces are plastered so thickly with white paint that they lose all expres- sion, and following the old fashion, their eye
 brows are shaved and two tiny black dots high up in the middle of their foreheads take their place. With lips heavily rouged the countenance is more mask than any
 thing human. Their hair is gathered to- gether at the back of the neck and tied with loops of gold paper, and, folded in soft white paper, allowed to hang down the back. Long hairpins with clusters of wistaria and red camellias are thrust across the top of the head and fastened SO that they stand out like horns over the forehead. In detail the cos- tune is not pretty, but in it's general effect it is singulsrly bright and picturesque.
 One can have as many priestesses and as long dance as he will pay for, and as soon as the money is handed over the two priests get into their ceremonial white gowns and high black hats, and, sitting before the an- cient drums, chant, pound and blow on dole
 full pipes accompaniment for the little dancers. The sacred dance is solemn enough, aud each dancer has fan and 8 bunch of bells, from which hang long strips of bright colored silks. They advance, retreat, glide to right and left, raise their fans, shake their sacred baby rattles and with few changes in the measure repeat the same figures and movements for a certain length of time. If one pays more money, they continue repeat ing the same thing, and the priests can vail the endless accompaniment by the hour.
 To us the dance is simply curious and pie tur esque custom, but one should see the
 faces of the devout old pilgrims, who have hoarded up their money for month and often years for the trip, to know something of
 what 1t means to them. It is really pathetic to see their faces glowing and their eyes all most filled with tears at their satisfaction with the fine spectacle that is so rare an event in their lives, and which crowns their summer pilgrimage to the old shrines of their faith

inches in diameter placed parallel with but below the surface of the water, and when the explosion takes place it's force or impact is received by the body of water just astern of the steamer, thus forcing the craft forward. It is claimed by the inventor that an impact of 4 1000 pounds is sufficient to move vessel of the dimensions of this craft at rate of sixteen knots an hour, while the estimated force generated by the machine under consid- eration is nearly 22,00o pounds.
 Here is one of the tricks played upon the negroes of a Virginia town, which was wit messed by a gentleman from Lewiston, Maine, who was in the State at election time. who were especially awakened on the subject of voting. When election day came every colored man was eager to vote. The polling place was to be at the church where the meet ings had been held. They gathered there in the early morning, ,eamped there at noon, and were there when night came. Nobody came near them, although the neighborhood of the church was black with the colored voters. That night they decided that probably they
 
 the vote was to bestakeH on the next day. The next day passed and there was no vote, and at night 8 man who called there told them to go home. Election, he said, had been held the day before, three miles up the river. They had simply changed the polling place, and the voters were not there because they didn't know anything about the change.
 
 An interesting case has just been decided by the Supreme court of New York. The action was brought by dressmaker against Mrs. Ovens on bill for dresses made for her and her children. She was living with her husband, who had usually paid all her bills, but at the time of this suit was insolvent. The question was whether the action could be maintained against Mrs. Ovens and the court held that it could not. These general princi- ples were laid down: f'The rule is that mar ried woman cannot bind herself by 8 contract unless first the obligation was created by her in or about carrying on her trade or business; or second, the contract relates to or is made for the benefit of her separate estate; or third, intention to change the separate estate is expressed in the contract by which the li- ability is created; or fourth, the debt was created for property purchased by her." In considering the claim in this case Judge Haight said: 'sThe plaintiff knew that the defendant was married, living with her hus- band; that he was engaged in business; that she had no estate of her own and was not engaged in any separate business; and the reasonable inference to be drawn from these circumstances is that the goods were deliv- cred upon the faith and credit of the defend- ants husband. In any event the defendant is not liable unless the goods were delivered to her upon her special promise to pay, which fact the evidence in this case fails to estab- ;sH,

GIFT ENTRRPRTsRS.

la New York, as in Connecticut, there has been good desl of interest in the gift enter prise business. Last year the legislature passed an act aimed at the concerns which back trade by offering some article as gift to buyers of their wares. It was as follows: No person shall sell, exchange or dispose of any article of food, or offer or attempt to do so, upon any representation, advertisement, notice or inducement that anything other than what is specifically stated to be the subs ject of the sale or exchange is, or is to be delivered or received, or in any way connect ed with or part of the transaction, as 8 gift, prize, premium or reward to the pur- chaser. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and in addition thereto shall be liable to penalty of twenty
 five dollars, to be recovered with costs by any person suing therefor in his own name.
 A case was brought uRdeT this law against 8 tea company. The company displayed on one of it's counters @ variety of crockery and glassware and announced that every buyer
 of two pounds of coffee might select as 8 gift any article in the collection. A clerk who had made 8 sale on these conditions was arrested and fined under the law above cited. The conviction was affirmed by the general term of the Supreme court. But the Court of Appeals has just declared the law uncon- stitutional. In it's decision the court points out that the constitution declares that no per
 son shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop. erty without due process of law. Liberty T G-. --I restraint, from imprisonment. It meane ''the right of one to use his faculties in all lawful ways, to live and work where he will ! to earn his livelihood in any lawful calling and to pursue any lawful trade or vocation.
 Judge Peckham, who wrote the opinion, ther goes on to say: By the provisions of this act 8 man owning articles of food which he wishes to sell or dispose of is limited in his powers of sale or disposition. liberty tc adopt or follow for livelihood lawful in. dustrial pursuit and in manner not injuri. } ous to the community is certainly infringed upon, limited, perhaps weakened or destroy. { ed by such legislation. This law interferes with the free sale of food, for the condition I is imposed that no one shall sell food and al I the same time and as part of the transaction give away any other thing. It can not be I truthfully maintained that such Legislation
 does not seriously infringe upon the liberty
 of the owner or dealer in food products tc
 pursue lawful calling in proper manner or that it does not to some extent, at least
 deprive person of his property by ourtail ing his power of sale.
 As many States have laws similar to tha
 which is thus declared void, this decision will attract great deal of interest.

 From human bonesa No. From ivorya No. From bone of dog or cattlea No. The other day, writes correspondent, hap- pened to call on Nr. Church, who is the mas- ter of small button factory in Birmingham, England, and was greatly interested in seeing Q tailer's bone button made, just such a one as you would find on your ulster or tweed coat. It was 8 queer little factory, made out of two or three cottages rolled into one. First of all I was introduced to the raw material, which lay on the floor of dark and dingy little workshop in which a solitary workman was standing at his bench I took to be potatoes, "there you see what we call vegetable ivory. It comes from South America and grows in clusters of half a dozen nuts. That is the first state of the button" We then went up to the workman who was cutting up the kernels of the nuts as a swiftly revolving circular saw, an operas tion requiring great dexterity, for 6 slip might cost him finger. The kernel is easis Iy extracted, the shell in which it is enclosed being very thin and fragile, although the kernel is nut it would take very strong pair of jaws to crack, and the teeth cannot touch it. The little white slabs which are cut out by the saws are taken to the next department, where the button is really formed in the series of lathes through which 1t is passed The tool maker, whose office is very important, works at one end of the room; the first lathe cuts out the button with the desired circumference, regulated by a series of guages, the work being passed on to others for the rim and so on. Two wos men were drilling the four holes of the but- tons, this being done by taking up each one and subjecting it to the action of the four pronged horizontal drills, doing their work with remarkable deftness and rapidity. The button, so far as it's form goes, is finished. l-k k1- 1s-Ls 1- ing. In another room are half dozen hex agonaI boxes revolving in an atmosphere of dust. They contain the buttons which are now being polished by the action of some hard powder, which is placed with them in the boxes, There is 6 secret in every trade,

 The slender stamens now explore the gloom and hang their festoons of webby pollen across their tips. None too soon, for even now eilvery moth circles about the blossom and settles among the outstretched flaments, slipping the nectar in tremulous content. But he carries precious token as he hies away, golden necklace perhaps, and with it 8 message to yonder blossom among the al- ders, and thus until the dawn, his rounds di- rected with deep design of which he is an innocent instrument, but which insures a perpetual paradise of primroses for future slippers like himself. Nor is it necessary to visit the haunt of the evening primrose to observe this beautiful episode.
