A phenomenon, which to the best of
our knowledge is without a parallel, was
witnessed by a large number of Custer
people between the hours of nine and
ten o'clock, last Saturday evening.
About nine o'clock, a broad band Of
white light appeared in the east and
moved across the sky in a westerly
direction. 1t passed in fleecy waves,
but was regular in width and in move
nent. This display was kept up for
half an hour or more, then suddenly
the movement ceased, and the ribbon of
hight became stationary. There was no
moon shining at the time, but quite a
brilliant display of Aurora Borealis
was noticed. We have not heard am
explanation of the phenomenon and no
matter what theories may be advanced
as to the cause Of it, it can not be de-
MED that the sight was a rare one.

A Lost Tribe of Israel.

Scattered over the breezy downs Of
the Nilgherries, in little villages OF
wicker houses that look at little
distance like nothing in the world so
much rs a colony of beehives, lives 4
community of 600 or 700 people, who
are variously believed to be the de-
scendants of one of the lost tribes of
Israel the aborigines of southern In
dia and community Of Manichasens.
They believe in a strange trinity
and hell, dismal stream of leeches.
and this they must cross by means of
a single thread The soul burdened
with sin is too heavy for this slender
support, and the sinner falls into the
stream, but the thread sustains easily
the souls of the good.
The funeral of Toda, for that is
the name of the singular tribe, is as
odd in it's way as it's religious belief.
His body is wrapped in new cloth,
and his toes tied together with red
thread; grain, sugar, tobacco and
money are wrapped in his funeral
toga to provide him for his journey
across the Styx and the dark plain be-
yond.
Two buffaloes are slain beside the
corpse, and the dead mans hands are
placed upon their horns; piece of his
skull, his hair and his finger nails are
removed to be used later at the great
celebration of the death of all those
who, during the - months, have TIA
ken the leap over the great precipice
into the bottomless abyss"
When these tokens are renewed,
clarified butter is smeared on the fra
grant wood of the funeral pyre and
the body is burned to ashes and the
ashes scattered 10 the four Winds

BLUEGRASS GIRLS.
When They Are on Horseback Every

When They Are on Horseback Every
Kentuckian Is Proud of Them.
1 was in Frankfort the other day
and saw a sight that was enough to
cure any ordinary case of sore eyes
and to make the blood of q Kentuck-
ian dance through his veins like cham
payne and his eyes sparkle like the
'moonstone" 1t takes a combination
to produce this effect on native
born" and the blending in this case
was most harmonious-a lssome young
miss, as graceful as a sapling maple,
mounted on a blooded bay thorough
bred, with limbs as keen and swift
as the "black tair' Of the boundlcss
prairies of the West. She came down
one of the shady avenues of elms and
water naples, that are called streets
at Kentucky's capital, at a clipping
pace, and, hating suddenly before an
old-tme mansion, dismounted and ran
laughing in, leaving her horse modest
ly to wait for his little mistress to re-
turn. l watched the pink face, golden
hair and handsome riding habit until
they disappeared within the wide-open
door, and then turned my attention to
the horse. His bride was as delicate
as a silken cord and on his back was
nat, EuSllSullldu > Sduule WIN ohe
small stirrup. AS l stood looking, the
young girl came bounding out the gate
and mounted, evidently pleased at the
harmless admiration of a stranger.
How do you manage to stick on
that saddle?' 1 asked.
"Oh. it's the easiest thing In the
world" she said. Father is uneasy
sometimes, but l always liked mans
saddle best" and bounding lightly to
the horses back, in another moment
she was out of sight.
That's one Of the Kentucky girls
we like to read about" thought l; and
as 1 turned away 1 had feeling akin
to sorrow when l remembered how
the graceful, healthful habit of horse
back riding was falling into disuse
among the Kentucky girls Of the pres
ent day.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

The Eye of a RATHER.

l have always had my doubts about
some of the alleged charming powers
of the reptiles, but to one who is
familiar with the eyes of the rattle
snakes it does not seem unreasonable
that they have such power. If you
will examine the eyes of one when he
is cold in death you will perceive that
it has an extremely malignant and ter
riple expression. When he is alive and
excited | know of nothing in all ma
ture of so dreadful appearance as the
eye of rattlesnake. 1t is enough to
strike with terror more than birds and
little animals. L have on several occa-
sions examined the eye of a rattle
snake closely with strong glasses and
feel with all force what l state and /
will tell you that there are few men
on the face of the earth who can look
an angcred rattlesnake through good
glass-Driuging him apparently within
a foot or two. Of the eye-and stand it
more than Il moment.

Power in a Pound OF Coal.

A curious and interesting calculation
has been made by Prof. Rogers, Of
Washington, D. c., on the dynamic"
power of coal According to his dcduc-
tons a pound of good steam coal has
within it dynamic power equivalent to
the work of one man for period of
ten hours. Three tons of similar coal
represents mans labor for Il period
of several years. One square mile of
a seam of coal having depth of only
four feet represents power equal to
that expended by one million men ten
hours each day for twenty years!
Such calculations as those made by
Mr.. Rogers may serve to remind us
how very wasteful our methods of
burning fuels must be, in spite of all
that has been done in the fuel-savinS
line by the inventors and economists.

Calculation of atmospheric Weight.

Somebody has made the calculation
that, taking the quantities roughly and
In round numbers, the atmosphere
weighs about ton to every square
foot of the earth's surface, 25,0OO,00O
tons per square mile, or 5000, 900, 0O0,-
100000 tons on the total Of 2O0,0OO,000
square miles; and Its energy is that
due to the motion Of this inconceivable
mass, at velocities varying all the way
from the slightest zephyr to the hurri-
cane and the cyclone, rushing over the
prairie or along the surface of the sea
at more than 100 miles an hour. Again,
according to this authority, cubic
mile of air, weighing about 10000, 0OO,-
600 pounds, develops, at the rate Of
motion of the cyclone, some 1900, 0OO,-
100000 foot tons" of energy, and, IL
all were employed at such rate for tho
performance Of work, useful or destruc-
tive, this number of foot pounds"
would be equivalent to more than q
OOO,O00,OOO,O horse power.

The Musical Girl.

The st. Louis journal advises young
men to choose wife by the music she
plays and the way she plays it. If
she manifests prediction for
Strauss, she is frivolous; for Beethoven,
she is imparitl; for List, she is too
ambitious; for Verdi, she is sentiment
tai; for Offenbach, she Is giddy; for
Gounod she is lakadisical; for Colts
chalk, she is superficial; for Mozart,
she is prudish; for Flotow, she is com
mon-place; for Wagner, she is idiotic.
The girl who hammers away at
"Maiden's Prayer" Anvil Chorus
and "Silvery Waves" may be depended
upon as a good cook and healthful;
and If she includes the Battle Of
Prague" and the white Cockade' in
her repertory, you ought to know that
she has been religiously and strictly
nurtured. But, last of all, pin thou
thy faith upon the calico dress of the
girl who can play Home, Sweet
Home"

sugar MaDleH.

1t is suggested that abandoned hill
farms would pay for planting as maple
sugar orchards. The trees grow quick
ly, are long-lived, even when tapped
every year for sugar making, and make
valuable lumber for furniture. When
fields are allowed to grow up as they
please much of the growth will be of
worthless character, such as alders,
witch hazel. osiers, laurels, poplars
and uepp ridge A farm thickly COW
cred with paple trees would always
be valuable, because maple sugar and
syrup, owing to their peculiarly de-
lcious flavor, will always be in good
demand at an excellent price. There
would be no outlay for fertilizers,
fences, agricultural implements or
seeds. A farmer past middle age
planted rocky field and rayine with
naples and lived to enjoy the fruit of
his labors. If this old gentlemans
example were more generally followed
and the waste land planted to naples
it would improve the appearance Of
the firms and add to the income Of
the owners. The sugar camps of Ohio
are generally believed to be the most
valuable part of the farms.
