BURIAL TRANCE AND WEIRD.
Eow the Vikings of Ola Interred Their
Dead in Ships.

From the Washington Star.
"From the ancient Scandinavian litera-
-ture we learn great deal that is interesting
about the customs and manner OF living of
the hardy NorseEnen Of old, y said DIR. George
Il. Boomer OF the Smithsonian Institution to
a Star reporter. "There has been thus pre-
served a curious story relating to the origin
of ship burial Those bold Vikings, being
rather more at home on the water than on
land, were commonly inferred in mounds
together with their vessels, the great
sea going boat sometimes serving
es kind Of sarcophagus for
containing many corpses. The model Of the
Viking ship now on exhibition III the Ma
tional museum is q restored reproduction on
a small scale of big vessel that was found
some years ago at Gokstad, in Norway. II
was dug out Of mound, whicn had been
known for centuries as the Kings mound,
because Of a tradition 20 the effect that q
royal parsonage had been inferred there
with all his treasures 1t was In the ex-
pectation OF securing the latter that the
mound WAS first opened by robbers, who
carried away a great deal that would have
been OF interest to science aud the world.
THE LEGEND OF THE NEGLECTED MIsTLEToE.
The story speak Of refers to the age of
fable, when the scandinavian north was
peopled by a race Of gods whose king was
Odin. OdIn and his wife, Freya, had two
sons Baldr and Thor. Bhldr was beautiful
and gentle and was beloved by the gods,
who looked to his dreams for guidance. he
had, however, one enemy, Loki, the evil
god One night Baldr in dream heard a
voice telling him his life wasin danger, and
in the morning he told bis mother OF IL.
Freya was greatly worried and going to
ell things animal, mineral and vegetable,
she exacted of them an oath that they would
not harm Baldr. While on her mis-
sion Freya came to little plant,
the mstletoe, which appeared to
be incapable of working harm, and
thus no oath was exacted OF IL. When
Freya had finished her task she returned
home and told Baldr and his friends what
she had done, and the gods in their plays
often amused themselves by shooting ar
rows or throwing stones at his invulnerable
body to see them sworve aside just before
reaching him. I,oki, however. being de-
termined to do Bald harm, went TO Freya
disguised as an old woman, and learned
from her the only thing that might be en-
ployed in injuring his enemy. Then hurry
ing away. he found the little mistletoe, and
carving it into an arrow. returned to the
spot where the gods amused themselves
shooting at Baldr. Apart from the crowd
stood Holder. the blind, and approaching

Dying of a Baboon's Bite.
FROM the Butte Daily inter- Mountain.

from
AT $40 East Park street there is q saloon
called the Phenix. The interior Of the place
contains a collection OF birds and animals
from ell parts of the world, which are
ranged around the walls In cages. Among
the animals Is q young baboon. IL is u
vicious looking animal, and visitors are
always careful TO keep at good distance
from Il.
Last Saturday this baboon was released
from its cage for u short time. Mrs. Red
Itch, the wife OF the proprietor. came into
the saloon about this tune, and noticing the
animal at large went over to it for the pur-
pose Of caressinR it. AS che did so the
baboon savagely sank it's teeth into her
right hand, decorating the flesh in helf a
dozen places. One Of the wounds inflicted
was about an inch in length, and the flesh
was cut clear to the bone.
Immediately upon being bitten the
woman was taken with terrible pains all
over the body. DR.. Campbell was called
shortly afterwnrd and found the woman TO
be in great agony from blood poisoning.
Her right arm was almost black and was
swollen up to the shoulder, while the dis
coloration on other portions OF the body
showed that the poison had spread over the
entire system. The physician found that

Her condition is very serious, and grave
fears are entertained that she will not re-

rapidly throughout her body, amputaEion
of the wounded hand could not be resortec

As Nordica walked away she brushed
something from the corner of her eye with
her handkerchief, and many in the audi
