A Cremationist Fad.

According to the Jewellers Review
the latest craze is to order ones crema-
ton urn and use it as an ornament till
it should happen to be wanted. All the
large china shops confess to having had
several orders lately, while silversmiths
have been equally favored. An en-
thusiastic ''cremationist" has couple

THE DEVILS DANCE.


A Peculiar Ceremony That Used to BE
Characteristic of Western Africa.
The ghost dance is one of the remin-
iscences Of days gone by. 1t was intro
duccd on the western coast of Africa,
says the New York Advertiser, by the
Inhabitants Of Loongi, the capital OF
Bullon. This religious ceremony was
performed on the premises of the chief
of the tribe.
The spectators formed circle around
the devil, to whose head was fastened
that of an alligator. His body was
wound with long recd-grass. Arrayed
in this fashion he jumped about in the
most grotesque manner.
But when he tulnbled or fell in his
gyrations it was considered an evil
sigG. proGnosticating sure death. The
devil danced to the dismal tune of
drums, beating the time with his foot.
The women sung a plaintive wall, to
which they clapped their hands. IT the
beginning of the ceremony the assem-
blage was quiet and orderly, but they
con grew wild with fanaticism.
A large bonfire was started, which
threw fantastic glare over the CHASTITY
scene, and the impression made upon a
foreign visitor by this gruesorne spec
tacle was by no means a pleasant one.

AIcTORY At FAULT.
Robert Morris Did Not Die in Debtors
Prison.

IlODerJ motifs I)iJ NOT DIG In q Debtors
Prison.
1t is probable that American history,
so far as it relates to Robert Morris, a
signer of the declaration of indepen-
denee, the companion financier of Ham
ilton and Gallatin, whose management
of the finances of the country made the
success of the revolution possible and
enabled the young nation to get on its
feet and live, will have to be remodeled.
Every schoolboy knows, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, that the cele-
brated Philadelphia patriot was born in
England, became wealthy man in
Philadelphia by his business ability,
sacrificed his wealth to his country,
died in debtors prison on account of
unfortunate land speculations, and was
buried in Christ church-yard. 1t is
known that he furnished the one mil
lion five hundred thousand dollars
which enabled Washington to carry out
his successful campaign against Corn
wallis. Several years ago congress APP
propriated money to reimburse the
heirs of Mr.. Morris for this one million
five hundred thousand dollars with in
terest, the whole amounting to nearly
eight million dollars.
The search for heirs and their ere
dcntials has brought to light the I'M
portant fact that Mr.. Morris did not die
in 1906 in Philadelphia's debtors
prison, but lived in 1926 on a farm
near Farmingdale, n j., where he was
attended By Mary Hurley, his grand
daughter, who is herself alive at the
age of nincty-four and lives with her
granddaughter at Toms River, N. j.
Mrs. Hurley, DESPITE. her advanced age,
IS in full possession Of her faculties
She remembers her grandfather per-
fcctly. Ec was blind during the last
part Of his life. He often spoke to her
of George Washington, of the great
struggle for liberty, and the part he
(Morris) took in it, He was, it is
thought, allowed to escape from debt
ors' prison by some sympathetic keeper
who remembered his great service to
his country and took this way of show
ing his appreciation.
Mrs. Hurley had q Bible which was
printed in Hartford, Conn, in 1910, in
which her grandfather wrote his name.
II is almost an exact fac smile of that
to the declaration of indie
pendence. Experts who have examined
the two signatures say they were I'M
dou5tedijy written by the same person.

''Onc of the police inspectors who
was quite clever with the cards was

threw the cards around in thrce-card
monte style to let the shah pick out
certain card. Directly the prince got
to betting that the shah could pick the
card. Then the inspect tor got in his
work. Whenever there was no bet
made he threw the cards so that the
shah could pick out the one he wanted
to, but when the prince had his money
up the shah found it impossible to pick
the desired card. Finally, the inspector
had taken in about thirty dollars. He
handed it back, saying he was not al

A RANcHMAN's HAPPY FAMILY.
Fawns, Wild Fowl and Bear Mingle
Amicably with Ills Tame Stock.

FaWn6, WIZ FOWL anu "a t1SdF
Amicably with His Tame Stock.
There is a strange ranch just over
Puget sound, near Renton, half dozen
miles from here, on which wild animals
and ordinary domestic animals are being
successfully reared side by side, the
former not interfering in the least with
the others. This has been going on for
years, and wild and tame animals dwell
together in the greatest harmony.
The ranch, says a Seattle paper, is
owned by Peter Gallagher who settled
in the woods there over twenty years
ago, and has managed to clear up over
one hundred acres. During all these
years Mr.. Gallagher has not been given
to hunting, although all kinds of ami
mails have constantly surrounded him.
Because of this they have grown tame,
and they often como right into the barn
yard and make themselves perfectly at
home.
One of these is black bear. He has
for nearly a year visited Gallagher's
yard almost daily, eaten with the cattle
and lain down with the calves display
ing neither fear nor ferocity. Gallagher
often goes among the stock at such
times, passing within two or three feet
of bruin, who weighs some three hun
dred pounds, but as Gallagher has never
disturbed him he does not bother to
move away. On the contrary he appre-
ciates as favor various scraps Of bacon
and other articles from the table which
the worthy rancher feeds to him. Gal
lagher thinks great deal of his pet,
and would not have him molested for
anything. The bear seems to enjoy
being with the cattle and especially
with the calves.
A handsome pair of fawns also run
about the place, associating regularly
with the calves, and at times with the
shaggy black bear, and not in the least
fearing the other animals of the motley
collection, nor Mr.. Gallagher, who is
uniformly kind to the stock, wild and
tame. The fawns came from the vicin- !
ity of Cedar Lake, where considerable +
hunting is done, and from which sec
tioa game is being driven. Some i've
years ago another pair of fawns came (
to Mr.. Gallagher's ranch and made
their home there for couple of years,
even going into the barn during stormy
NIGHTS and being locked up with the
stock. Mr.. Gallagher at length gave
them to "a neighbor who had taken q
fancy to them, and he in turn presented I
them to friend on the Snohonish, who
yet has them.
humorous 1ocks of wild ducks and
geese and other wild fowl alight il the
worthy rancher's yard, showing no
fear at his presence. The advent of q
stranger, however, will quickly put !
them all to flight. Mr.. Gallagher says
the whole secret of it is in being kind
to wild animals He does not hunt hl1z-
self nor will he permit others to do SO
On his premises. AS his ranch is some

What Colors Tel.

When one lights q common sulphur
match in the dark it is worth while to
notice what happens. First, its phos-
phorus gives out faint yellow rays,
and almost at the same time the sui
phur begins to burn with blush
beams.
AS yet the flame yields little light.
In a moment or two the wood of
the match takes fire, and then
a stream of clear white light pours
forth. Each of the materials of the
match, its phosphorus, sulphur and
wood, has shone in burning with a
color of its own.
In street lighted by electricity and
gas, the eye detects at once the differ
ence between the white rays of the one
and the yellow beams of the other. III
nitrate of strontia is set on fire we have
a splendid red flame. Filings of cop
per burn with glow of greenish blue,
and fine, pure blue is had when fl
ings of zinc are ignited. These and
other such substances furnish the
maker of fireworks with his materials.
Rockets, roman candles and bombs
all derive their beauty flom the special
tints which attend the combustion OF
their ingredients. And any one who
has once seen the colors peculiar to
common salt, iron or anthony, as they
trace themselves on the evening sky,
will always know what is afame when
he sees those colors again.
Sir John Herschel was the first to
understand that colors of this kind tell
o wonderful story. He we'll knew how
the stars varied In tint. that Aldebaran
was ruddy, Arcturus yellow, and Sirius,
the most glorious of all, white. Might
not the colors of body afame, whether
on earth or in the sky, really be telling
us of what that body was composed?
His suggestion was taken up, and its
fruit is that marvel of ingenuity, the
spectroscope. One of its principal
parts is prism employed to break up
the beam from flame or star into its
rays of various hues. These hues,
which are divided by many dark lines,
makes known to us that the sun and
stars are built of such materials as
compose our own globe.
Yet more, they tell us what kind of
atmosphere surrounds them; and most
astonishing of all, give us the rate at
which a remote star is moving toward
or from the tiny orb we inhabit.-

Many woman prefer to be original in
dress rather than slavsh'y fashionable,
and they are right, for fashions assume
that all people are cast in the same
physical mold, just as laws assume that
they are of the same mental cast. or
course this is ridiculous in both cases, but
confectloners OF costumes and makers OF
laws would have their hands full If they
should attempt to make provision for all
the exceptions which refuse to come I'M
der their general rules. For instance.
in reviving the Med,cis collar, fashion
assumes that all women have longish
necks, when, in reality, many women
have no neck at all. But there is this
