A girl in Carbonate, Pa, has no de-
sire to yet married. She has money OF
her own, parrot that swears and
monkey that chews tobacco and splits
Therefore she has no use for a husband.
An exchange editor rises by the way
to remark parentheticslly: The longer
We run newspa ser and write about peo-
pie and events the more we realize how
utterly impossible it is to scrat h every
man on the spot where it itches the most.
True, it Is much easiet to kick a fellow
on the place that is most tender"
Ten acres OF land set out in fruit trees
will make you good comfortable living.
Secure piece, set out trees, let the other

One of the most interesting services OF
the Hindoo church is that of infant bap-
tism, and 10 language contains more
beautiful sentiment than is embodied in
the words uttered by the priest, which

The theory of the Moqui snake dance
is quite poetical. During the celebration
of the snake dance, which lasts nine
days, many snakes are caught, petitioned
to bring rain, and then turned loose to
carry the prayers OF the Indians to the
big lightning snakes, whose home is in
the thunder clouds above the submits OF
the mountains, and who in turn carry
the petition to the rain god in the heaven
above. Spokane Chronicle.
The frequent epidemics of Asiatic
cholera are said TO originate from the
Mohammedan tradition, Abraham was
about TO STAY lisa &c, the great sacrifice
takes place. Thousands Of animals are
gathered together. The wealthy pilgrims
kill one camel or more. Some califs are
said TO have slaughtered a thousand.
Even the poorest will sacrifice q sheep.
The result, where the salt waves of the
sea do not wash away the blood and the
remains OF the killed animals, is that the
stencil in few hours becomes unbearabe,
and the place almost uninhabitabe.
Hence the plague.
