The Indian Witch Dance.

The Indian witch, or medicine dance,
is very different from the performances
before described. 1t is really weird
affair, and almost as difficult to witness
as the celebrations that New England
witches were said to indulge in in the
olden time. 1t must have some religious
meaning, although the writer was never
able to get exactly at what the meaning
was. The medicine men of the Sioux 10
otseek publicity in their incantations,
and it was entirely by chance that l
came across three Indians going through
some peculiar operations, at point re-
mote from their camp. A stick about
three feet in height was stuck in the
ground, and from 1t hung out in the
breeze a long haired scalp. The hair
was dark, and looking on from short
distance 1 could not tell whether the
scalp was that of white woman or an
Indian. 1t might have been either. The
three Indians were leaping and gesturing
and at intervals mumbling something,
not song apparently, but disconnected
words. Occasionally they would point
toward the scalp. Then they would
humble again and jump about They
were not painted, and their attire was
different from that of the ordinary
braves. They noticed me, and, while
they made no demonstration of hostility,
their expression meant plainly that they
would rather be left alone. The shades
of evening were falling on prairie and
hill and river. The Missouri stretched
like mighty serpent below, its yellow
waters tinctured with ruddy stain by
the final CLEAN of the setting sun, and
here on this hill, away from the painted
tents and the silent cottonwood, these
children of nature were enacting their
strange enchantment to move in some
way that supernatural power which
seemed to have deserted the Indian race.
With eerie feelings l withdrew, leaving
them to their superstitution, and
conscious that perhaps its parallel might
be found among more enlightened
nations. Chicago Herald

How to Visit the Queen.

Should you be invited by Queen Vic
toria to dinner, the following, according
to Edmund Yates in the New York Tri-
6une, is some of the etiquette that you
will have to observe:
Guests are expected to arrive in time
to dress for dinner, and they leave after
breakfast the next morning. The rule
is for guests to repair to the corridor in
full dress at $50 o'clock, the dinner be-
ing S:45, and the Queen comes in from
her own apartments just as the clocks
chime the quarter, bows to the company
and proceeds into the oak room, where
the meal is served. The dinner is al
ways excellent and the wines are superb,
but the conversation at.the table is of
course most vapid and conventional. At
ter dinner the company usually stand
about the corridor, or go into one of the
three drawing rooms which adjoin it.
The Queen speaks few moments to
each person in succession, then retires,
and the guests see her no more, as she
never appears in the morning; so that a
visit to the Castle does not involve much
personal intercourse with her Majesty.
After the Queen is gone to her rooms,
the company remain in one of the draw
ing rooms for music or whist, and when
the ladies retire the men adjourn to the
smoking room, in which is a billiard
table, very comfortable snuggery.

THE wAYsIDE WELL

He stopped at the wayside well,
Where the water was cold and deep;
There were feathery ferns 'twixt the mossv
stones,
And gay was the old well sweep.
He left his carriage alone;
Nor could coachman or footman tell
Why the master stopped in the dusty road
To drink at the wayside we'll
He swayed with his gloved hands
The well sweep creaking and slow,
While from seam aud scar in the buckets
side
The water FLASHED back below.
He lifted it to the curb,
And bent down to the buckets brim;
No furrow of time or care had marked
The face that looked back at him.
He saw but farmers boy
As he stopped DER the brink 70 drink.
And ruddy and tanned was the laughing
That met his own DER the brink,
The eyes were sunny and clear,
And the brow uudimmed by care,
While from under the brim of the old straw
hat
Strayed curls Of chestnut hair.
He turned away with a sigh;
Norcould coachman or footman tell
Why the master stopped in his ride that
day
To drink at the wayside well.

A Mexican Farm.

"On one farm in Mexico 1 saw enough
of the luxuries of life produced to make
any man happy" remarked G. F. Wood,
of Ell Paso, Texas. "The farm was not
large as some farms go in Mexico, it was,
to use a slang phrases 'stunner.' don't
think the mind of man could Imagine a
vegetable product that could not be pro-
duced on that farm. At any rate saw
growing there coffee, sugar, rice, potatoes,
rye, wheat, oats, corn, berries, cabbage,
tomatoes, apples, bananas, cocoa, figs,
cochineal, and a dozen other products.
On the upper end of this farm you could
find gold, silver, sapphires, onyx, and
other precions stones. Some of these
articles were not produced in quantities
large enough to pay to market them, but
they were all found there, and all at the
service Of the owner of the land. Oh, l
suppose the farm contained 10000 or
10000 acres of land, but it extended
through all temperatures and all eleya-
tions. ."-Ransas city Times.

Where Coral Comes From.

The largest quantity and the hand
soonest corals come from the Algerian
coast. These coral grounds have been
worked since the middle of the sixteenth
century. Other coral grounds are found
on the coast of Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia,
Spain, the Balearics and Provence. More
than 500 Italian barks and over 1900 per-
sons are engaged in the coral fishery.
Beside these, French and Spanish barks
are engaged in the same occupation. The
Italian fishermen pay a high royalty to
the French Government for their right
of fishing for corals on the Algerian
coast. There are more than sixty work
shops in Italy, forty of which are in the
little town, Tore del Greco, at the foot
of Vesuvius. These shops give employ
ment to about 5000 persons, mostly
women and children.

Manhood.

On the large islands in the delta of the
Amazon River there are banana gardens
which have continued TO produce enor-
nous crops fornearly a hundred successive
years, though the cultiyators never use
any kind of fertilizers or think it neces-
sary to practice irrigation, or rotation of
crops. Two hundred bushels of fruit
per acre is considered only moderate
yield, while on the Irish potato farms in
cessaut toll and the use of all available
fertilizers fails to insure the tenth part
of that produce, and too often even fails
to prevent complete degeneration OF the
plant of which millions have staked
their hope of survival. 1t is true that
the potato is not indigenous to the soil
of the British Islands, but would it be
possible 10 substitute any perfectly re-
liable food-plant, aud might il not, after
all, be the best plan TO adopt Paul
Courier's suggestion TO devote the colder
ATTITUDES TO pastures and factories aud

Speed OfInseets.

The writer was travelling one day
in autumn by rail at about twenty-five
miles an hour, when a company of flies
put in an appearance at the car window.
They never settled, but easily kept pace
with the train; so much so, indeed, that
their fight seemed almost mechanical,
and a thought struck the writer that they
had probably been drawn into kind of
vortex, whereby they were carried on
ward with but little exertion on the part
of themselves. But this notion was soon
disproyed. They sailed forth at right
angles from the train, flew to a distance
of thirty or forty. feet, still keeping pace,
and then returned with increased speed
and buoyancy to the window. To ac-
count for this, look at the wings of afiy.
Each is composed of an upper and lower
membrane, between which the blood YES
sells and respiratory organs ramify so as
to form a delicate network for the ex-
tended wings. These are used with
great quickness, ,and probably 600 strokes
are made per second. This would carry
the fly about twenty-five feet, but sew
enfold velocity can easily be obtained,
making 175 feet per second, so that, un-
der certain circumstances it can outstrip
a race horse, an insect as large as a horse
would travel very much faster than a
cannon ball.-NeU York Commercial Id
