An Indian Superstition.

Editor Arson II. Smith of the Mo-
have "a. T. Miner was the hero of a
remarkable incident that occurred on
the tablelands near Needles, He came
upon two Mohaye squaws holding an
excited powwow over a big rattlesnake
that lay coiled in the middle of the
road. With due gallantry Smith dis
mounted and struck the reptile dex-
ferrous blow on the head. Instead Of
thanking their deliyerer the squaws be-
gan to disrobe, and with many incanta-
tions throw their garments as offerings
to his snakeship. The scared editor tried
TO mount his horse, but the squaws in
sisted on his presence till the charm was
broken, and it was not broken until
they had discarded all their clothing
and gone through weird dance over
the remains of the rattlesnake. This
was done III order to propitiate the gods
and break the spell that portcnds the
death of big chief upon the wanton
slaughter of yenomous reptile.

A Beautiful Cretan Custom.

One of the curious Cretan customs
which prevail on the eve of every inSur-
rection is known as Gdclphopoiesis, or
differentiation. One of its immediate re-
suits is the cessation of all feuds, ell
nifty and rancor. 1t is carried ont as fol
lows: A number of individuals choose a
young girl, who must be pretty--no diff
ficult matter in Crete. They inform her
parents of their intention, and the need
full consent is never withheld. Then a
priest is sent for and told to begin the
ceremony. He takes very long girdle
and joins all the men with it in circle
in the center of which the young girl is
placed. Then the Clergyman reCitcs a
number of prayers and winds up by Civ
ing his benediCtion to all present. The
moment he pronounces the last amen
the circle and its center stand in the re-
lation of brothers and sister to each 9th
err to all religious and social intents and
purposes. Each and every one of the
males is bound i'll honor-and Cretan
knows no more sacred obligation-to
protect that girl throughout her life,
but none of them can ever take her for
his wife. She is and remains their sister
in the eyes of the priest and people to
the end of her days, but they must also
stand by and succor each other, and il
needs be at the cost of life itself. Fort

force blocking the road to Chadkara-
During the fighting a hundred OF
the enemy were killed and the British
had Il wounded, among them Capt.

wound.
The enemy followed up the retiring
column and attacked the camp in a
