What the Matches indians Believe
About suR Worship,
The strange legendary tradition
among the Natchez Indians concerning
the descent Of their royal family from
the sun is thus partly explained by lie
Page du Pratz in his "Histoire de Ia
Louisiana" He had questioned an Old
man Of the nation, keeper Of the
Natchez temple in which was kept
burning constantly their sacrifice"
asking him whence the Natchez people
had come originally. The tradition"
Pancienne parole), replied the keeper
of the temple, docs not tell Of the land
from which We came; allthat it teaches
us is that our forefathers came to this
land, followed the sun and came with
him from where he rises; that they
were a long time on their journey, were
on the point Of dying, all Of them, and
that they found themselves carried into
this country without looking for it. Do
otaskm more concerning this thing"
said the keeper, ''fOr the tradition says
nothing more Oh the subject, and no
old man viii tell you more than what
/ have told you" Does this imply a
fight Of a surviving band Of mound
builders from the east Of the United
States, or is it IN obscure and distorted
tradition Of the march Of the children
Of Israel from the bondage Of Egypt to
the promised land, led on their weary
journey through the wilderness By the
mystical pillar Of fire and fed In their
extremity with mama from Heaven?

The Smithsonian Institution sounds
.an0teof alarm. Itdeelares that civilized
man is sweeping the wild birds of the
face of the earth at such a rate that
before long hardly any species Of teath-
cred creatures viii survive save those
which are domessicated. The next few
years must witness the extinction OF
many species already becoming rare,
while during the last quarter Of a cen
fury scores Of other species have bseR
totally extirpated. Thus is threatened
a great change ia the fauna OF the
world-a change that is only too apt
TO be attended by results most dam
aging to the interests Of mankind.
Take for example, that wonderful
bird called the "rheG, which repre-
sents the ostrich on the American con-
tineRt. Though already becoming rare,
the survivors OF this magnificent spe-
cies are being hunted systematically
in Argentina and North Patagonia for
the sake of their feathers. And what
do you suppose the long and handsome
feathers are used for? For millinery?
Not q bit Of it. They are employed
In the manufacture Of feather dust
ers, Thus it appears that one Of the
most beautiful creatures placed on the
earth by a benefcent Creator for the
benefit and admiration Of mankind Is
to be destroyed forever for the sake
Of cheapening the production Of feather
busters.
The famous Labrador duck used to
be common enough in the markets of
the United States, migrating in winter
as far south as New England. In sum
mer it was plentiful along the Labrador
coast and about the mouth Of the
st. Lawrence river. Like the elder
duck, to which it was allied, it bred on
rocky islets, where It was safe from
foxes and other csrnivorous quadru-
peas. But sportsmen visited the islets

to turn to, the shore OF the mainland
being infested by fOur-fOotsd enemies,
and the result was inevitable.
The well-known Carolina paroquets,
the only parrots native to the United
States, are near to final extinction.
Formerly they ranged all over the east
ern part Of this country, as far north
as New York and westward to Texas.
At present the few survivors are con-
fined to remote parts OF southern Flor
ida and the Indian territory. The sps-
cies has been wiped out in a most ruth
less and wanton manner. These little
birds sleep inside Of hollow stumps,
hanging By their beaks, which are
stuck into crevices. A while ago the
sO-called passenger pigeon" few by
millions IN the Ohio valley as far east
as Massachusetts,. Now only few Of
them are left. They have been shot by

commonly utilized for shooting from

On street OF one Of the main thor

stood gazing into the window Of a shoe
shop: A messenger boy, thinking the
object Of the young mans attention
must be something worth seeing,
stopped and gazed, too. The pair were
Joined by a clerk on his way to lunch,
and presently quite a little crowd had
Bwarmed up. There was nothing spe-
cial to see, after all; Just tiers Of com
monplace shoes, with labels announcing
their prices. AS fast as the people in
the crowd found that it wasn't one Of
those idiotic mechanical toy monkeys,
or a live sparTow-tbe latter is a great
curiosity In wiRdow-they passed on.
One or two, perhaps, went into the shop
for further inspection Of some pair Of
shoes that had caught their fancy.
The young man waited until the
crowd had quite melted away. Then he
strolled on to the next corner. A strag-
Cling group Of men turned past him and
toward the shOeshOp. He overlook
them and walked briskIy until he
reached the window that seemed 10 at

began to gaze at the shoes with an
esrnestHess that was conspicuous.
Every one Of the crowd following
paused to investigate the attraction.
One Of them went into the store to
look further, The rest went on, the
young man with them as far as the
corner.
A dozen times an hour, all through
that afternoon, was the performance
repeated. At six o'clock the youth him
self entered The store.

the door.
"Quite 90. Come again tomorrow"
was the answer. And the welI-dFessed

A lady was entertaining at dinner
quite informally an old clergyman and
d few relatives. The children were al
lowed to come in with the dessert. On
rising from the table the latter stood
aside to allow the white-haired priest
to leave the room in advance. He, how
ever pushing the youngsters through
the doorway, said, laughingly: Angels

as if inviting her TO precede him, he
was met by wave of the hand from
the latter, who said, with great prompt
ness: Saints next"

With a little practice you can easily
tell the time by looking into a cats
eyes. often when the Chinese want TO
know what o'clock it is they win run
TO the nearest cat, open her eyes and at
once tell what time it is. This they
do by observing the size Of the aDeF-
ture Of the pupil Of the eye, which they
have discovered is Of varying size at
different hours of the day, being af-
fected by the position Of the sun and
the character Of light, even when the
day is cloudy.
