AALLE's ANCIENT CAKE DANCE.
q Ceremony That Has Been Performed by
Salt Workers For Centuries.

Salt Workers For Centuries.
Halle, tho little German saltmakina
city whose inhabitants are supposed to be
descended from an early race of different
blood from the modern Germans, has
curious fete of its own, which has been
celebrated annually for many centu-
ries. On that day the masters and tho
saltmakcrs, clad in red mantles, follow to
church the cake of tho feast, borne aloft
by youth accompanied by his sweetheart.
After the religious rites follow a banquet
and Il dance to the music of instruments
specially devoted to the purpose.
The fcte originated in an incident that
took place so long ago that the very date
has been lost. y mill belonging to the
commune was burned, and the family OF
the miller was saved by the salt workers
When the mill was rebuilt, the commune
voted to tho salt boilers in pcrpetuity an
annual cake OF 100 pounds to be blessed,
carried in procession and then eaten SOL
emily to the music Of drums and flies.
The ceremony had been going on thus
for generations when in 1876 there was n
new fire in the city which destroyed the
city hall, but spared the salt works and
the dwellings. Then the pious commune
adopted u resolution thanking God for
what he had spared and declaring that
thereafter the cake bearer and tho salt
masters and their men should make the
procession clad not in black us formerly,
but i'll tunics of ardent red, with plumes
OF the same color in their caps. The date
of the fetc was also changed from St. Pc
tcr's and ST Paul's day to St. Johns day.
tho longest day in tho year. Since 1876
this order has been faithfully observed
The cut of the tunic has varied somewhat
with the fashion prevailing, but tho style
of Louis Nv predominatcs. Thus appear
the carrier of the cake and his sweetheart,
and thus is clad the halbcrdicr. After the
banquet the men and maidcns OF honor,
being those who in years before have car
ried the cake, decorate with red poppies
the crowd that presses in the public
square. Then, in the midst of q spot pro-
tcctcd by barriers, the men and maids of
honor execute not cake walk but n cake
dance u grave function in which one must
neither speak nor smile. The dance is not
complicated, but tho music is of n special
character, and this gives the whole u pc.
culiar distinction. In the evening there
is n dance of u gaycr character at an inn.
Tho waltz here begins really at O'Clock
in the afternoon and is continued until
dawn. Tho red habits are put away ut the
end of the fetc, not to be brought out
again for year They descend from ia

The Origin of Horseshoes.

Tho earliest form of tho horseshoe was q

Tho ordinary warhorscs of the Greeks,

ords of metal horscshocs is found in q

the year OIL a. d., but 1t is known that
they were used at much earlier date rs

Deafness Cannot be Curefi

By local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There 10 only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Gus
taohian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catsrrh, which is nothing but an in

The Wrong End of the Stick.

This expression means, as Professor
Skeat rightly rcmarks, to DO in an unplcas-
ant position, but not quite as he puts it.
There is a handle tn every stick, and there
Is also the point, that goes into mud, or
"muck, as they say in the north. A man
who gets hold of the wrong end of tho
stick, therefore, catches hold of the dirty
part, and his hands are soilcd for his pains.
