A White Suuall.

in the barge office. "We We're between

There wasn't cloud to be seen, unless
q little white vapor far off could be
called Il cloud. All of sudden the cap
tain came up out of his cabin.
"'Get all the light sails off her as
quick as you can, he shouted to the
mate. 'Clew up the royals and to gal
liant sails and bear hand lively, boys.
What's the matter with the old man
now?' said the sailors as they looked
around the horizon and saw nothing but
sunshine and the clear sky.
Nevertheless all hands turned to
getting i'll the light sails The captain
took the wheel and sent me to assist. OF
course we all thought it was piece of
foolishness, but we worked with a will
because the captain told us to.
"Well, we had no sooner got those
sails in than it struck. Right out of the
clear sky came an awful gale. 1t tore
our great mainsail and other sails to rib
bons quicker than flash. 1t came butt

''How did the captain know it was

happened to see his glass 90 down sud-

Among the latest is one from Professor

The Fight Which Is to Come.

The fate of the civilized world had
always hung upon the strength of the
Aryan nations to repel the attempts of
Asiatics to force their way into Europe
and to flood the western world with
oriental ideas and habits, modes of gov
ernment and forms of religion. The
struggles Of Greece with Persia and of
Rome with Carthage, the struggles Of
Greeks, Romans and TeutOns with the
Saracens; the conflicts, extending to our
own times, with the Turks, were but so
many acts in one long drama. of which
the earliest scenes are to be found in the
pages Of Herodotns, and the latest might
be studied in the kilograms of the daily
newspaper. 80 Life Of Freeman. Dean

THE EGG DANCE.
A Beautiful Feat That Is Performed by
Hindoo Juggling Girls.

HlnuOo Juggling NlTIS.
One of the most wonderful of the
many feats performed by Hindoo jug
glers is the egg dance. Usually it is ex-
ecuted by girl, Enthusiastically dressed.
She makes use of the willow wheel,
around which at equal distances are
threads, and at the end of each thread
there is moose, held open by bead.
This wheel the girl places on her
head, while she carries basket of eggs
on her arm. When the music strikes up,
she begins to dance, and the wheel be-
gins to spin around. She then takes an
egg from the basket, places it i'll one of
the thread nOoses and throws it from
her with sufficient force to draw the
knot tight. The spinning of the wheel
keeps the thread stretched, with the egg
at the end of it.
She then takes another egg from the
basket, places it in another moose and
repeats this until there is an egg in ev-
cry moose. Her fantastic costume, her
perfect motion and all the eggs swing
ing on the stretched threads at once pre-
sent a very pretty sight indeed 1t re-
quires much art to execute the dance,
for at one false step the eggs would be
dashed together, the dance spoiled and
the dancer thereby disgraced.
After dancing for time with all the
eggs swinging around her head she takes
them out of the moose one by one, all
the time keeping the wheel balanced
and in motion. and again places them
in the basket on her arm.
When the dance is finished, the spec
tators are allowed to examine the eggs
to see that they are real. -Philadelphi

The worst of childish dictum of this
sort isshat you feel yourself so absolute
ly quenchcd. There is no getting any
further i'll the argument for no pighead
edness equals the pigheadedness Of the
very young person-in fact, of the new
child. And then he-or she-is never
amused with the simple games that used
to delight us. Modern children are will
ing to play if only to please their elders,
but they are mildly and politely bored.
They are bored with most things. They
have 20 picture books where we had one
hone of your garish, crude illustra-
tons, but aesthetic designs, and yet they
don t seem to care about them.
There is good story of how an old
gentleman with much toll and trouble
manufactured large kite for his small
grandson He and another old friend,
with the boy, went out to fly the kite.
The two old men were deeply engrossed,
but the grandson got SO bored that
he quietly absented himself, and after
some time the two old fogies found to
their disgust that they had been larking
about all alone with kite, much to the
amusement of the passersby. And an
other story-of little girl of s who
said to her mother Gan authoress),

ring quite pleasantly. All, There is

departments.
The case of Jack Lawton, charged
with administering choral to Farmer
Burris, received the attention of the
grand jury in Washington yesterday,
but the action of that body was not
made public. Lawton has employed
Lawyers Lipscomb and Turner. That
Burris is alive to appear as a witness
against the man who used him so
roughly is due to the popularity of
choral. 1t acts differently upon differ
ent persons, and physicians use it with
the greatest of care. Burris, however,
took it in sufficient quantity to kill sew
eral people.
