SACRIFICES AND CROPS.
Phe Romans Used to Burn Red-Haired
Puppies in the Spring.

We learn from Festus that the ROM
ans sacrificed red-haired puppies in
spring in the belief that the crops would
thus grow ripe and rudy, and there
can be little doubt that these puppies.
like the lamb sacrifice at Holue and
Kings leighton. were a substitute for
an original human victim. says the
FOrtRigBtly ReCie1C. Prof. Ramsay, the
great authority on Phrygian customs.
believes that Attis was at first repre-
scented by human victim. who was
probably slain each year by cruel
death. Just IS the cod himself died, ;"
and Mr.. Fraze3' has shown that Attis
was essentially n god Of vegetation; that
one of his eSithets was very fruitful:
that he was addressed rs the reaped
yellow ear of corn" and that the story
of his sufferings, death and resurrection
was interpreted as the ripe grain
wounded by the reaper buried in the
granary and coming to life again when
sown in the ground.
The famous gardens OF Adonis were
baskets or pots filled with earth. in
which wheat, barley and flowers We're
sown at the time when the women were
mourning over the dead Adonis. To
this day in Sicily at the approach of
Easter the women sow wheat. lentils
and canary seed in plates, which are
kept in the dark and watercd every
two days. When the plants shoot up
the plates containing them" says Nj.
Frazer. are placed on the sepulchers
which, with etligies of the dead Christ.
are made up i'll Roman catholic and
Greek churches on Good Friday. Just as
the gardens of Adonis were placed on
the grave of the dead Adonis" Mr..
Frazer has also pointed out the marks
of similar element in the worship of
Osiris. He was a deity of vegetation,
the first to teach men the use of corn,
aud his annual festival began with
blowing the earth.
In one of the chapels dedicated to
Osiris, in the great temple of Isis. at
Philae, the dead body of Osiris is repre-
sented with stalks of corn springing
from it and priest is watering the
stalks from a pitcher. Mr. Frazer sug-
gests that the legend of the mangled
remains of the god being scattered up
and down the land may be a reminis-
cence of the custom of staying a human
victim and distributing his
flesh or scattering his ashes over the
fields to fertilize them" Indeed. Man-
etho tells MS that the Egyptians used to
burn red-haired men and scatter their
ashes with winnOwing fans.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug. 1o.-Miss lula.
Randall, an acronau5 of Detroit. Mich.
was instantly killed at Glendale Park
about $50 this evening. Miss Randall
has for some weeks been making ascen-
slons here by means of Il hot air balloon
and descending by means of parachute.
The balloon has burst twice before she
started up. once she hung in a seventy
five foot tree until rescued. and few
days ago the parachute broke as she
started up and she had to hold on to the
balloon until ii descended. This after
noon she made the ascension all right,
but cut loose when about 1000 feet up
over clump of trees. AS to how she
was killed reports conflict. The para
chute either fell into the tree and broke
her hold or was dashed against the tree
by the wind. At any rate. she fell about
sixty feet to the ground, and the para
chute came down on her. She was in
stantiy killed and her body badly man
gled.

A story has lately been told by an old
soldier OF the French army as a sovenir of
the Crimean war. 1t is one Of the few IN
cidents OF the war which would bear relat-
ing at the recent festivals in France in
honor of the revisiting Russian naval Off.
GERS snd seamen-now the firm allies of
the French. In one Of the attacks of
the French left upon the Russians in the
nelghborhood of Sebastopooi, the retreat
was sounded on both sides, and the Rus
slams retired to their fortress, the French
to their trenches. On the way a French
sergeant OF the line encountered alone
Russian sergeant, also alone. The two
men were face to face, and enemies. Their
guns were empty. simultaneously they
took cartridges from their pouches and
begBn to load, methodicaily, like we'll
trained soldiers, but as swiftly as posi-
bic. The, guns like all others in that
campaign, were maZzle leaders. The
cartridges were forced to place with a
ramrOd. Simultaneously the two ramrods
entered the guns and 81 simultaneously they
were withdrawn; but the Russian, accus-
toned by intleXlble discipline. to Go ev-
erythlng q set way, put back his ram
rod in its place along the barrel, while
the Frenchman threw his away with the
movement that withdrew it. This gave
him the needed moments advan tage over
his antagonist. Clapping his gunstock to
his shoulder, he had the Russians life in
his hands. The Russian stopped still, a.
waiting the shot that shou 4 be his death.
Then the French sergeant dropped his
gun from his shoulder and put out his
right hand. The Russian grasped it; the
two soldiers shook hands without word
for neither knew a word of the others
ongue and then both turned and went
their ways.

A Big Cypress Tree in Mexico.

We started at $50 O'clock, determin-
ing to take on our way the bio cypress
of lula, which is so large that it is
worthy to be ranked above the big
trees of California We found it in the
enclosure of the parish church. There
is no doubt that the latter was built in
that place because of the tree, for which
the Indians feel great veneration. 1t
is precisely of the same kind as the
trees of Chaputepec, but the largest
there is only forty-six feet in circum-
ference, while this one is, by recent
measurement, l52 feet inches. There
is another difference. and a very marked
one, and this is the tendency to a flat
tening of the lower and larger branches
and of the peculiar buttresses which the
trunk throws out. In the latter they
are almost as flat as boards, and in the
branches the ilatnesS is that Of q wedge.
The contrast between these and the up
per ones, which are rounded, is very
striking. The trunk is not like an or
binary one, but resembles a buttressed
wall, so that the two diameters vary
enormously. The height must be less
than 200 feet, making the appearance
in a photograph almost dWarfsh. The
spread of the branches from north to
south is gigantic, and the effect of LIGHT
and shade is enhancing to the artist

Useful Hints for Housekcepers.

An excellent way to wash silk is to
use salt water and to iron the articles
while they are still wet
Washing ginghams in water slightly
thickened with flour starch is said to be
an excellent idea.
A small box of quicklime kept in the
pantry will tend to keep the air pure.
A little ammonia in the water will be
found very effective in washing greasy
frying-pans and such ware and will
also restore the color that has been
taken from fabric by acid.
A chalk line drawn around an article
will keep away ants
Asbestos mats, which cost but few
cents. placed under pots prevents the
food from burning.
Grass stains on white goods may be
removed by rubbing moIasses on the
stains and leaving it till the garment is
washed, when the stains will disappear.
