Salt and Swearing.
From Notes and Queries.


A droll scene was witnessed in the court
of a local magistrate at Berlinchen, in the
Mark, few days ago. No sooner had one
of the witnesses, a woman, appeared to
give evidence. than the accused, who was
also a woman, started up and screamed out
excitedly, Il object to that witness" The
judge asked for her reason. 'That wo-
man, Herr Richter said the defendant,
'-swears whatever size pleascs, and takes
no harm by it. The moment she says i
swear she lays piece of salt upon her
breast, and then tells any lie without
danger. When she goes out of court she
will throw the salt away, so that her false
witness will not hurt her SOUL
The accused had scarcely ended her ex-
position of CHS odd doctrine of the local
creed, when he witness cried out inoiy-
nantly, Herr Richter, it is not true, have
not a particle OF salt about me- And here

prototype. Confirmed her word by her deed
she tore open her dress, exposetI her full
bust to the court. and invited the judge to
see for himself whether she had taken any
such precautlon to absolve her soul from
the guilt of perjury. The judge had hard
work to quiet the two angry ladies, one of
whom loudly affirmed, and the other az
loudly denied, the presence of salt some

Decline Of the Ballet.

The majority of its most famous expo
nents at the present day are, strictly speak,
ing, not dancers at ALL but either acrobats
or else dependent for their chief effects on
limelight, colored glass, sticks and hun
dreds of yards of drapery. Even our best
stage dancers have succumbed to the
temptation of winding up with the head
cver-heels business. just as vulgar singer
must always wind up with high note. In
fashionable society, ii is true there has
been of late years certain one-sided re-
viyal, owing TO the craze for skirt dancing
but men dance execrably.
1t must be assigned in great part 20 the
enormous multiplication of pastimes in the
last thirty years. Before the seventies men
shot and hunted and played cricket But
since that date We have witnessed the
spread of polo, the rise and decline of
lawn tennis and finally the universal craze
for golf and bicycling, to say nothing of
the enormously greater demands made on
the leisure of The average person by the
claims of music, which has now in great
measure superseded the art of which it
was once the handmade
For the ballet, once the great attraction
to the average operagoer, has been excom-

exception of Bizets Carmen" since the
Paris version OF "Tannhaeaser'' in 1861

cline of dancing in the last thirty years

The Faith of Childhood.

A sturdy youngster, scarcely Eve,

One day had come to visit me,

And then at length, refectively,

But what's the use Of bein so?
I'm not afraid at night. you see,
For God is watching over me.
II there wasn't any God might
Be frightened, when, I'm out at night;
But mamma says He's always near,
And that hIte no cause to fear:
But, here, l. IA home, and so, goOd-by!"
And off he skipped full cheeriy.
Oh. sturdy little friend Of mine.
May He on whom Thy trust Is stayed
Remain thine ever-present aid.
For thou, indeed. art safe from harm
When resting on His mighty arm
He hath no need to rest or sleep
Who keepeth ward Ger Israels sheep.

When waves beat high and tempests blow.
Would that /, too, in every strait,
When on my doubts despair doth wait,

is THIS THE MISSING LINK.
Savans Think That an Authentic Re.
mote Ancestor Has Been Found.

At the last meeting OF the French So
ciete dAnthropologie, says the Figaro the
savans of Paris were convinced of the i'm
portance of recent discovery made in
Java by DIR. Dubois, a Dutch naturalist,
who has at last he considers, found the
real missing link.
This scientist made a Journey to Java and
collected 400 boxes of bones, and among
these remains he has found skull. a thigh
bone and two wisdom teeth, which he de-
clares belong to the same skeleton. He
has given the name Pythecanthropus Erec-
tus-that is to say, neither man nor mon
key-to the being TO watch these bones once
belonged.
When fac-similes of DIR. Dubois iiscov-
cry were seen by the members of the Paris
Societe dAnthropologie they ceased to re-
gard the matter as a joke and were vi ami

thigh bone DR.. Dubois mad not found a tibia.

Buttons? The world of women has simply
gone crazy over the fad. A girl got on an

ashes every Saturday, and set on the dress

Game.
About two years ago a stranger pre-
scented himself at the Mecklenburg
Iron Works, and asked for job. He
gave his name as Il. C. Lamar He was
given work, and proved to be skilful
and efficient, as well as faithful and
honest, and was regarded as one of
the best men in the shop. He was
known in the business part of the city,
where he traded regularly, and his
transactions were always found TO be
correct. But actions as well as appear
ances are often deceptive, as was dis
covered yesterday morning concern
ing Lamar. The story of his mis-
doings is thus:
Late Friday afternoon he went TO
the Racket Store to buy pair of
shoes. Mr.. John DeLane waited on
him. He bought the shoes, and in pay
ment handed Mr.. DeLane check from
the Mecklenburg Iron Works, stamped
with the rubber stamp used in the of
flee, and signed "per John Wilkes"
The check was on the First National
Bank. and was for SIS. AS Lamar had
handed in such checks before, stamp
ed and signed in the same manner, the
book-keeper accepted it, and gave
Lamar the money less the amount of
the shoes.
Saturday being legal holiday, the
banks were closed, and the check was
not presented at the bank until yester-
day morning. Mr.. Orr detected at
once that the "per John Wilkes was
a forgery.
A short time afterward checks of the
same kind, but for $50 each, were pre-
sented by Messrs. j. NJ. Trott,, W. M.
Kendrick and VIM. McWhirter, clerk
in Arndt's bar. They, like the Racket
check, were forgeries. Lamar owed
Trott So. Kendrick 8, and Arndt So
These amounts were deducted from
the checks when cashed, and Lamar
was soon off Friday night with the
money he had so easily and fraudulent
ly won.
As soon as the first forgery was dis
covered yesterday Capt. Wilkes was
seen. His signature and that on the
checks were very unlike. He pro-
nounced it at once a forgery, but was
very much perplexed over the matter.
Lamar, he said. did not get his checks
out of his check book, as it was in the
safe. Where he got the checks, when
he used the stamp, or whether or not
he had stamp made are unknown to
Capt. Wilkes. Lamar, he said, had been
at work only one day in the past two
or three weeks, having been sick for
some time.-Charlotte Observer.
