A Strange Feast.

A curious feast is observed by the
Mohammedan inhabitants of India. in
which the origin Of the custom known
US painting the town red may possibly
be traced. 1t is called the Holi, and con-
sists chiefly in the plentiful sprinkling
upon all and sundry of certain red
preparation called Holi powder. 1t
stains the white clothes of the natives
with an ugly dirty-looking red that
conjures up before timid eyes dread
visions of bloody fights and CHASTITY mu-
TIMES. The powder is made in two
shades-the one vermilion, the other
rose-red-and both are used impartial
ly by the observers of the ceremony,
who delight in bedaubing their faces
with the powders until they look like

THE PORTLAND VASE.
A Masterpiece That Long Puzzled tho
Antiqusrians OF Europe.

A Masterpiece That Long Puzzled tho
Antiquarians of Europe.
The workmanship of the vase and the
material of which it is composed long
exercised the ingenuity of some of the
greatest antiquarians in Europe.
Breval believed it to be chalcedony;
Bartoli, Montfaucon and others, sar-
doniX; Count Fezi, amethyst; De la
Chause and Nilsson, agate, while Venut-
ii decided that it was paste. Wedge
woods examination of the vase proved
the last opinion TO be the correct one.
A layer of white glass had been fused
on dark blue body, the exquisite fig
ures being afterward produced in this
layer by cutting down to the blue by
the gem engraver, after the manner of
real canoes. Wedgewood also discoy-
cred that the vase had at some time
been broken and repaired. 1t was his
opinion that the head which formed the
bottom of the vase was piece of some
other work that had been cut down and
inserted in the place of the original bot
tom, which had probably been de-
stroyed ut the time the vase itself was
broken.
BY the autumn of 1889 Wedgewood,
after many failures, had succeeded in
his arduous undertaking, and the frs.
perfect copy. made in the famous jas
per ware, was finished. Several more
copies were subsequently made, though
the exact number does not seem at all
certain. These We're of various de-
grees of perfection and varied in size
10 so guineas eaclfS.according to ex-
cellence of finish, time has, of course,
enhanced their value, and
some years ago, at the sale of the Mar
tineau collection, one sold for 1924.
In 1910 the duke OF Portland placed
the vase in the British museum, where
some IS years afterward it was wanton-
ly broken to atoms by drunken Wis
itor. After being skillfully repaired,
it was placed for additional safety with
the gems.
Authorities are by no means agreed
as to the subject OF the bas-relief,
though various explanations have been
offered. According to the museum cata-
logue, the composition represents on
the diverse, Thctis consenting TO be
the bride of Peleus in the presence OF
Posedon and Eros; on the reverse,
Peleus and Thetis on Mount Pelion, and
on the bottom of the vase (now de-
tached) youthful bust of Paris.-Good

SKl=U=MAH ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment given at the
Norma Friday by the Ski-u-mah
quartet, assisted by the Anderson
sisters, was quite well attended con-
sidering the various attractions which
were in the city. All who attended
were unsparing in their praise, and
should the entertainment be repeated,
it is safe to say that all who were
present last night would attend again.
There was not weak spot on the
program. every member being encored,
and the majority Of them two or three
times. The voices of the members
harmonized remarkably we'll, and they
knew just how to use them in order
to give the most pleasing effect to
their listeners. A special feature was
the delightful violin playing by Miss
E. Ruth Anderson, she rendering her
part with great delicacy of touch and
pleasing manner. She appears to
have a brilliant future before her.
Miss Wilma Anderson showed eX-
ceptional talent for one of her age, and
her efforts upon the piano were
heartily encored by the audience. 1t
is to be hoped that this organization
will again visit the city.
