Fiddled For Snakes to Dance.

"Uncle" Henry Harrison of Union
county, Tenn, tells the following snake
story, which is vo1ched for by all his
neighbors:
Several years ago an Italian, Joe de
Novo by name, bought q small tract of
mountain land about 80 miles from
Caryyille. Without repairing the cabin,
he and his wife moved into it. They
were childless and had little to do with
their neighbors The man went once
month to the country store that was
near by to make necessary purchases.
Things went on this way until some
hunters, overtaken by storm late one
afternoon, were forced to seek refuge in
his cabin. The rain continuing unabat-
ed, they were forced to remain into the
night.
After supper the italian got down his
fiddle and began to play low and plant
lively. In short while huge rattle
snake appeared upon the hearth, then
another and another, until no less than
seven wriggling serpents were in sight.
The hunters were terribly alarmed, but
De Novo babe them be quiet and watch.
The snakes roerned filled with the wild
est ecstasy. 4 the music was low and
soft, they would move in graceful curves
like the mazes of the waltz; if it was
loud and quick, their movements were
quick. At all times they kept the most
perfect time. If the music ceased, they
would rush from sight, but would re-
turn Immediately upon its resumption.
Numbers visited the italian to witness
this sight.
Lately De Novo died After the bur-
ial the woman sold out and returned to
her native country, the cabin was torn
down, and the rattlers Disappeared

Burned zulus Dreaded the Ice.

'The natives of tropical countries
are seldom so much astonished as they
are when first introduced to snow and
ice," said E. A. Forester of Chicago.
"While the Worlds fair was in prog
ress I saw joke played upon two men,
bers of Zulu band which was greatly
enjoyed and appreciated by all present
except the Zulus themselves. The man
ager of their tribe, whom l knew init
mately, knowing that none of the Zu-
lus had ever seen any ice, thought it
would be great fun to see how they
would act when brought in contact with
it. He accordingly told two of them
that he wished them to go down town
with him. He informed me what he
was going to do and invited me to &C.
company him, which I did. We stopped
at the Office of one of the large brewer
les, and after explaining our errand
were readily granted permission to go
through the icehouse.
"On arriving at the door of the ice
house we all entered, the Zulus, who
were barefooted, following close behind
All along the walls inside great cakes
of ice were piled. My friend, the man
ager, climbed up on top of the cakes
and told the Zulus to follow him. They
obeyed When the cold chill of the ice
struck their bare feet, they didn't know
what to make of it. They looked at one
another for minute and jabbered some
thing in their outlandish tongue They
stood it for about minute, then, giving
vent to a yell, they sprang to the ground.

selves on the ground outside, where they

A Queer African People.

Strange stories are told of the Dokos,
who live among the moist, warm bam-
boo woods to the south of Kaffa and
Susa in Africa. Only feet high, of a
dark olive color, savage and naked, they
have no Ere. They live only on ants,
mice and serpents, diversified by few
roots and fruits They let their nails
grow long, like talons, the better to dig
for ants and the more easily to tear in
pieces their favorite snakes. The Dokos
used to be invaluable as slaves, and they
were taken in large numbers. The slave
hunters used to hold up bright colored
clothes as they came to the bamboo
woods, where these human monkeys still
live, and the poor Dokos could not re-
sist the attractions offered by such su-
perior people They crowded round
them and were taken in thousands. In
slavery they were docile, attached,
obedient, with few wants and excellent
health. These queer people have one
fault-a love for ants, mice and SER
pents and speaking to Yer with their
heads on the ground and their heels in
the air. Yer is their idea of q superior
power, to whom they talk in this COM
ical manner when they are dispirited or
angry or tired Of ants and snakes and
longing for unknown food. Popular
