The Cake Walk.

The cake walk proper had Its origin
among the French negroes of Louisiana
more than century ago. There Is lit
tie doubt that it is an offshoot of some
Of the old French country dances. 1t
resembles several of them in form.
From New Orleans it spread over the
entire south and thence TO the north.
It was found of convenience to the
plantation negroes. They were not
welded by license, ami 1t was seldom
that the services of preacher was
called In. At cake walk man
might legitimately show his preference
for a woman and thus publicly claim
her for wife. In effect the cake walk
was not different from the old Scotch
marriage, which required only public
acknowledgment from the contracting
parties. SO this festival became in
some sense wooing, an acceptance or
rejection and ceremony. This ex-
| plains its popularity with the blacks,
outside of its beauties, with the accom-
| paniment of music, which is competent
| Mt all times to command negro support
Cake-walklng has improved as do most
things that are constantly practiced
1t has lost It's old significance in e
South. Negroes now get married
when they marry at all, in white folk
fashion. 1t has become, however,
pantomimic dance. Properly perform
ed it Is a beautiful one. The cake !

A woman can talk freely tn a woman

that they should have immediate assist

can consult a woman, whose knowledge

WHIPPED GUILTY AND INNOCENT


A SINGULAR Mode of Punishment
Among the Nez Perce Indians.
The Nez Perez Indians during the
winter formerly lived in communal
lodges which were from 100 to $50 feet
IN length and 20 feet wide. Twenty or
more families occupied one of these
long lodges; their fires were about ~
feet apart. and between every two nres
an elongated entrance projected from
the side of the structure, with closely
woven mats hung at the outer anu
inner openings, writes Alice G. Fletcher
IN the Century.
The discipline of the children OF a
village was delegated to certain men

SEWING ON MEN-OF-WAR.

Visitors on board war vessels in the
navy yard will very likely see among
the sailors scattered about the decks
smoking, talking and so on sailor at
work with sewing machine. 1t is
hand machine and has pretty heavy
base, SO that it can be set down ON deck
and worked easily without shifting its
position.
The machine is owned by the man
working it. On big ship like, for ex-
ample, the battleship lndisua, carrying
crew Of 400 men or more. there would
probably be found as many as dozen
sewing machines On third rate
cruiser, q smaller vessel, such, for IL
lustration, as the Detroit, there would
be apt to be four or five sewing ma
chimes The machines are Offences,
owned by sailmakers and sailmakers

Space is valuable on vessel, and 81
only hand machines are allowed, ant
to bring a machine aboard permission
must be got from the commanding Off
Ger. 1t is not to be supposed that ever
man in the ship would want SEWN
machine. AS a matter of fact compara
lively few men do, and those who wal
to take one aboard are not likely to fin
any difficulty in the way.
