The Dervish Dance.

Among the bowling dervishes of Tan.
gier, Africa, writes correspondent,
saw no swallowing OF swords, nor spit
ting of fire, nor cutting or lacerating of
flesh with knives and thorns, as some
travellers have described, but saw about
fifty Africans in dirty-white haiks, OF
cloaks with hoods, dancing and yelling
and throwing their arms, legs and bodies
into every conceivable form and contor-
ton.
Many were beating tom-tom drums.
others blowing reed like pipes, and still
Others were drumming two-stringed vi
olins. A pack of excited maniacs they
seemed to me, and nothing else. From
early morning to sunset there was no in
termission in the noise or motion, but at
the end of the day all repaired in sol
emn, religious procession to the house Of
the Grand Shereef, which adjourned my
hotel.
Here the pow-wow was continued dur
the night, and each of the three DAYS
that | spent at Tangier stole opportuni-
ties to see something of their strange
religious rites. From the parapet Of the
roof of the hotel could look into the
patio or open court Of the Grand Shereef
and observe everything that took place
at distance of not more than forty
feet
What saw was much the same each
day. Around the patio on rush mats sat
double row Of musicians singing a
monotonous chant and playing the
strange instruments that had first seen
on the seashore. In the centre was
dancing dervish in continual motion.
Whatever hour of the day or night
looked over the parapet, and the holy
sanctity of their rites was disturbed by
my Christian presence, the same monoto-
nous sight greeted my eyes
On the afternoon of the third day

too far over the parapet and caused bit

nished with bedsteads and cradles The
cooking is done in the basement. Some
sixty men, women and children occupied
these sleeping rooms. An OK, weighing
57S pounds, was slaughtered for meals.
After sermon or two, interesting
washing ceremonies took place.
When the bishop finished reading the
Bible chapter, which described Christ
washing the feet of the disciples, the
Dunkards gave very fair imitation Of
the ceremony. One brother kneeled
down and washed both feet of three or
four brothers sitting on bench in row,
while another brother and girl with q
towel followed and wiped the feet. The
women, all of whom wore white lace
caps, washed each others feet in the
same way, while an appropriate hymn
was being sung. Loaves of bread and
dishes, containing soup of rye and beef,
had been placed on the table, and all the
members partook of the Lords Supper.
Every set Of four brothers and every set
of four sisters ate soup out of one dish,
two sitting on each end of a narrow
table The members arose after eating
and embraced each other fervcntly. The
salutation of the holy kiss followed,
when each imprinted kiss on the lips
of the member next to him. The loud
smacks resounded through the meeting
house Communion service, the break
ing of unleavened bread, and the drink.
ing of unfermented grape wine were also
observed. The unleavened bread was in
strips, some six inches long, two wide
and an inch thick, and piece was
broken off by brother, who broke
another piece and handed the remainder
to the brother next to him. The meet
ing lasted two days, and finally adj

A Great Festival.

1t is curious illustration of the sensi-
tiveness of certain portions of the animal
kingdom that the Chinese always expect
the Matching of the silk worms to come
Immediately upon the first thunder of
spring. Every year at that season there
is great parade and ceremonial, which
shows how large portion of the national
wealth the silk cultivation has come to
be considered by them, parade that
takes the form of an act of worship to
Loui Tsen, the wife and queen of the En-
peror Hoang ii, in the remote Of ED, the
person who first bred silk worms for the
sake of their cocoons. Now the Empress
of China goes every year at the time of
this early thunder to the mulberry fields.
and there she and all her retinue of pomp
and pride offer sacrifice to Loui. The
sacrifice made, she proceeds with the
women of her court, and with crowd of
the peasant women engaged in silk cul-
ture. to cook over fire, with her own
hands, some mulberry leaves, and to lay
them in basket with some of the young
cocoons To complete the business she
then winds cocoon herself, all in the
way ofteaching the women that it is work
that even an empress cannot afford to de
spise. And the festival ends by pres.
entation OF gifts or prizes to those women
whose names arc given by the authorities
intrusted with their inspection as the
most faithful in attention to the silk
worm. - Bazaar.

STOPPED THE FIGHT.
The Bulls were Doing Their Best
when the Turtle Interfered.

At Stony Ford, N. Y, on the famous
stock farm Of Charles Bachman. two
Holstein bulls were pasturing in differ
ent fields, one on one side of the Wal
kill River and one on the other side.
There had been bitter feud between
the two blooded animals for long time,
and few days ago one of the bulls took
position on the river bank in his pas
ture and beloved a challenge to his en-
emy, the other bull This was quickly
answered by the Holstein, and he lost no
time in getting to the bank on his side
of the Waikiki The two bulls stood in
that way, believing, and muttering,
and paving dirt for long time, each
working himself into deeper rage, until
at last one bull could contain himself no
longer and plunged into the river and
swan toward his rivals domain. The
rival did not wait for him to get there,
but jumped into the river and swan to
meet him. The two ugly animals, their
tempers uncooled by their bath, met in
midstream and attempted to have the
matter out right there. The lack of foot
ing and the strength of the current pre-
vented either bull from making any tell
ing assault, but each tried his best to do
battle
While the bulls were butting and bel
lowing in futile rage in the stream, the
one that had jumped into the river first
suddenly gave a tremendous below, and,
turning about, pulled back for his past
ure, believing Justify all the way and
shaking his head violently. He reached

his sudden panic and retreat became APP
parent. A large swapping turtle, foi
which the Waikiki is noted, had been at
tracted to the spot where the bulls were
fighting in the water, and, the tail Of
this bull presenting an appearance to its
liking, the turtle had closed his power
full jaws on it well up toward the butt
end. This attack in the rear was more
than the bull had calculated on and he
pulled for home. When he got out OF
the water he kept right on, tearing about
the field and making such a rumpus as
that farm had never known before.
The other bull, when its foe retreated
SO noisily and suddenly, seemed seized
with panic too, and swan back to his
pasture as quickly as he could. When
he climbed the bank he gazed back at
the strange circus his rival was having,

and subsequently, sent to restaurant
keeper in New York city. The bull that
the turtle didn't catch has gone to the
bank and renewed his challenge every
day since the turtle broke up the fight,
but his rival pays no attention to it.
He evidently fears repetition of his
first experience. - New York Sun.
