but which is also a credit to the town and a
recommendation for the skillful designers

and is eighty~fve feet deep, the ceiling is
thirty feet in the clear. 1t is built entirely
of stone, the front of granite handsomely
trimmed with gray and red sandstone, the
sides are built of porphyly and gray sand

flight of 6 ante steps, ia arched over with

resting on four columns.
Over the entrance is an inscription, cut in

The door itself is of oak, very heavily
built and has overhead a tasty design of
stained glass. On the two front corners
are the towers, which with their heavy

The building covering an area OF about
$500 square feet, is designed after the By
zantine style of Architecture, which has been
used as u prototype for some Of the most
magnificent monuments erected in honor
of the U~nspeakable, as for instance the
Haeia Sophia at Constantinople, the great
dome at Rayenna and others. Although
the grandeur of the buildings before mem
toned may overshadow the comparatively
modest structure of this new place of wor-
ship, it is and will be for years to come,

QUEER CUSTOMS.

The Outlandish Tricks in Which
West Indian Negroes Indulge.
TroyTimes.
White cocks heads are universally
used by negro sorcerers to bring
trouble to an enemy.
Some West Indian negroes carry q
snakes poison under their finger
nails. A single scratch from a poison.
ed nail will cause death in q few
hours.
Negroes who believe in witchcraft
are taught to think that if they in
form on any one who practices IL
their fingers and toes will drop of
and they will pine away and die. A
number of.witnesses who were com
PEELED to testify against native
wizard in Trinidad became Ill
through fright, and several actually
died.
West Indian negroes are fond of
stuffed figures, and at most OF their
merry-makiugs they have "John
Canoe" or stuffed figure of a man,
which they treat with great respect.
Sometimes an "Aunt Sally" is sub
siituted. Aunt Sally" is the figure
of woman, and is treated rather
fiippantly as compared with John
Canoe.u
"West Indian dysentery" is due to
a mild dose of powdered glass deliv-
cred to an enemy in his food. If the
doses are continued death is the re-
suit. Bottles filled with ground
glass and water are used for charms.
One of them hung under a tree In an
orchard Is almost sure to keep the
negroes away from the fruit, as they
believe that the charm poisons it.
II a servant in the West Indies
wants something to make his master
appreciate him he goes to a native
sorcerer and buys some nonsensical
thing iu which he has faith. 10 may
he few white pebbles wrapped in
lock of human hair, or it may be a
harmless powder to be scattered in
his masters sleeping room. II a love-
sick girl wants a lOve-pOwder she

The West Indian negroes some
times hold a "jumby dance" "jumby"
beiug q name for ghost. These dances
are held in secret places and are
seldom seen by white persons. The
dancers wear as few clothes as posi-
BILE and are decorated with neck laces
of sharks teeth, carved bones, dried
frogs and beads. Some of the men
have their bare bodies painted to re-
present skeletons. In the middle OF
the floor lies ',jumbv," a sort of life
size idol with the body of man and
the head of cock. He is an object of
deepest devotion and is treated with
great respect. The negroes dance
