The threshing that China received
from Japan seems to have given the
people some new ideas. They begin
to see that civilization is power, and
that China can not be strong unless de-
veloped on modern lines. The North
China Herald prints a proclamation by
the governor of Human, dwelling upon
the advantages to be derived from the
construction of telegraph lines in the
province, and exhorting the people not
to be wrongfully influenced and destroy
the telegraph lines and poles now be-
ing erected connecting Changsha, the
capital, with Wuchang, the capital of
the sister province of Hupeh. Accord
ing to a letter from Changsha, it is
reported that, apparently acknowl-
edging the value of the telegraphs and
that they will not be allowed to inter-
fere with the peoples graves and the
private property of the gentry and lit
erati, the construction of the line has
been going on rapidly, without the
slightest hindrance on the part of the
inhabitants of the province. Whereas
in 1891, when an attempt was made by
the imperial Chinese telegraph COM
mission, at the request of the governor,
to erect telegraph poles within the Dor
ders of the frontier town Of Lichou, the
inhabitants of the place rose en- masse
and so badly injured the working par
ty and military escort that they had
to fly for their lives, abandoning valu-
able material to the mob. Several
lives were lost in the affair and local
hterati in favor of the innovation was
also killed by the mob.

Ghost Carnival
OF.
KlOndyke Indians


The gold seekers flccking to the
Klondyke are obliged to go through a
country inhabited by some very queer
aborigines, who dwell along the coast
of Southern Alaska. These natives do
most of the freighting across the passes
into the interior, carrying loads on
their backs; but their population dur
ing many centuries has been so shut
away from other tribes by gigantic
ranges of snow-elad mountains that
they have developed peculiar culture
and customs unknown anywhere else
Hence the exceptional value of a mon
ograph about them, prepared by DIR.
Franz Boaz, a distinguished ethnolog-
list, which is to be published shortly
by the National Museum.
One of the most remarkable of the
festivals celebrated by the Indians is
a carnival Of ghosts, which is held each
winter. 1t seems to be derived from
a tradition that tells of a journey made
by an adventurous individual in a re-
gion beneath the earth, inhabited by
phantoms. The celebration itself is
mimical representation of the visit to
Hades aforesaid, and the performer
who represents the sub-mundane tray
eller wears a necklace and headdress
set round with skulls.
This festival requires elaborate prep
arations. Speaking tubes of dried giant
kelp are laid under the door of the
lodge house so as to terminate in the
fireplace. When the ceremonial is in
progress the performer disappears into
a ditch previously dug behind the fire.
and then many voices are heard com
ing out of the flames-really the voices
of persons hidden in adjoining rooms.
who speak through the tubes. Later
on, an image representing a ghost is
seen to rise out of the ground, carry
ing the performer.
Cannibalism is very conspicuous in
the myths current among these people,
who have themselves been eaters of
human flesh up to a recent period. In
deed, though the whites are supposed
to have put stop to suca practices,
it would seem that secret indulgence
in them has not been wholly done
away with.
Quite a number of strange demons
are worshipped as guardian spirits,
among them a cannibal demon that
lives on the mountains and is always
engaged in the pursuit of human be-
ings for his table. The smoke of his
chimney is the color of blood, and he

him by catching men and collecting
corpses. In his house is a fabulous
bird with an immensely long beak,
which lives on the brains of persons
whose skulls 1t fractures with its bill.
Anybody who is so unfortunate as to
eEcoCater the cannibal spirit may be
transformed into a grizzly bear. On
the other hand, if he can please the de-
mon, he may obtain power to handle
fire without being burned.
Another guardian spirit is a fcarsome
warrior, who lives in the far north He
travels constantly and never leaves his
canoe. Ey obtaining his protection a
man may become inYulrerab.e. or he
may acquire power to catch the invis-

form of a worm. The fortunate protege
of the warrior spirit, catching the
worm, can throw it into the body of an
enemy, who will die at once.

Throwing Rice and slippers.


In the Ladies' Home Journal Ed
ward w. Box notes the abuse of the
pretty custom of casting a small par
eel OF rice or a dainty slipper after a
departing bride and groom-an I'M
spoken Godspeed. The dainty slip
per-" he also says, has been trans
formed into the old shoe of doubtful
origin, and thrown with force and &C.
curacy, causing no end of discomfort.
And this is what two pretty customs
have degenerated into. They have been
vulgarized, and, therefore, the sooner
they pass into disuse the better. The
sentiment of the custom has been lost.
Rice and shoes are no longer omens
of good luck. The modern thrower OF
them has transformed them into mis-
siles with which to annoy and mortify
the bride and groom. The better class
of people have already begun to sub
stitute a shower of rose petals and
this new and far more beautiful idea
is rapidly being followed. We might
have preserved the old customs, but
we have not. Henceforth, promiscuous
rice-throwing and the casting of old
shoes at weddings will be left to the
Doors of our modern society, into whose
hands these acts have fallen, and who
seem happiest when they can convert
the graceful customs of olden times in
to practical jokes"

Piety and Cooking.

Bishop Paret of Maryland relates an
incident which shows how piety and
cooking may be mingled. Some time
ago he was the guest of an Episcopal
family in West Virginia. Learning
from the bishop that he liked hard
boiled eggs for breakfast, his hostess
went to the kitchen to boil them her
self. While so engaged she began to
sing the first stanza of hymn. Then
the sang the second stanza, the bishop.
who was in the dining room, Joining
in. When it was finished there was
silence, and the bishop remarked:
why not sing the third verse?" THE
third verse;" replied the lady, as she
came into the dining room, earring
the steaming eggs; "Oh, that's not nee
essary." ct don't understand" replied
Bishop Paret. ooh, you see," she said,
