CAKE WALK is FRENCH.

When 1t Originated, 1t Also Stood For n
Marriage Ceremony.
The cake walk properly had it's 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 re-
sembles several of them in form. From
New Orleans it spread over the entire
south and thence north. 1t was found of
convenience to the plantation negroes.
They were not welded by license, and
preacher were called in.
AT cake walk man might legiti-
mately show his preference for a wom-
an and thus publicly claim her for a
wife. In effect the cake walk was not
different from the old Scotch marriage,
which required only public acknowledge
ment from the contracting parties. So
this festival became in some sense a
wooing, an acceptance or rejection and
ceremony. This explains its popular
ity with the blacks, outside of its beau
ties, with the accompaniment of mu-
sic, which is competent at all times to
command negro support.
Cake walking has improved, as do
most things that are constantly practic-
ed. 1t has lost its old significance in the
south. Negroes now get married, when
they marry at all, in the white folks
fashion. 1t has, however, become pan
tomime dance. Properly performed, it
is beautiful one. The cake is not much
of a prize, though the negro has sweet
tooth.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

BALLOONS FOR WAR.
General Greedy Urges Secretary Alger to
Use Them For Observation Purposes.

General Greedy Urges Secretary AIger to
Use Them For Observation Purposes.
Secretary Alger had conference for
some time the other day with General
A. w. Greedy, chief signal officer of
the army. General Greedy urged upon
the secretary the Importance to the
army in case of hostilities of the en-
ployment of balloons for observation
purposes.
He has asked repeatedly for an ap-
preparation from congress for expert
ments in this line, but thus far his
efforts to obtain money have been un-
successful. With balloons he believes it
would be possible to observe the ships
of an enemy's feet at great distance off
shore, and should an army of occupa-
tion be sent to Cuba the balloons could
be used in viewing the operations Of the
enemy's army. the country being quite
thickly wooded, so that it would be i'm.
possible sometimes TO ascertain the
movements OF the troops while on the
ground.
General Greedy does not believe
there is much danger to be feared from
the fire of the enemy, as experience has
shown it to be very difficult matter
to gauge properly the height to which
the aeronaut takes his balloon. -Phila-

How Michigan Man Found Treasure In
Barber Shop.
ID. Denbleyker of Kalamazoo, Mich,
who visited all the leading art galleries
in the United States, the principal Ger
man art museums and all the galleries
in Holland and Belgium in his last trip
abroad, went into little barber shop
in narrow street in Amsterdam, and
among a pile Of rubbish on the floor
found picture covered with dirt. The
barber sold it to Denbleyker for 40
forms ($l6). He took it to the Ryks
museum in Amsterdam, one of the fin
est art galleries in the world. The mu-
scum wanted to buy the picture, but
Denbleyker did not want to sell then.
Arriving in New York he took the
picture to the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. This museum also wanted to buy
it, and several art dealers wanted it.
He finally sold the picture for $500. Its
present owner will not sell it for less

Gabriel Metzu, whom encyclopedias and
art books name as the greatest genre
painter in the world. This artists pic

WHERE WOMEN RULE.
What a Social Student Found In an East
ern Province.


While studying social conditions in
oriental lands DR.. Alice b. Stockham
was advised by Tolstoi to visit the
Naiars on the Malabar coast of India,
and witness a type of civilization I'M
known elsewhere among the inhabitants
of earth. Here, according to writer,
the husband is mere incident in the
social organization. Woman's power is
autocratic and absolute. She wins or
divorces husband at will She frames
and administers the laws by which he
lives, and through her is the descent of
the property, which he may earn, but
not own. The ricefield is his active
arena, and if industrious and frugal
proving himself capable of maintaining
a family-some Naiar maid invites him
to become her husband. The successful
man of eligible years is wooed and won
as is the fortunate and accomplished
maiden of our country.
The improperly of manifesting affec-
tion for woman before it is solicited
is thoroughly instilled into the mind of
the Naiar man, and, while the strife be-
tween natural tendencies and national
custom may sometimes approach the ma
ture of an irrepressible conflict, to yield
is ruin and humiliation irreparable.
The eligible bachelor must await an
avowal of love and choice and suffer in
silence if it be long withheld. The
Naiars are of Brahman origin and much
above the average inhabitants of India
in intelligence and in the administration
of their native government. Better ma.
tive schools are found here than else
where in India and surprising degree

OTHER MEANS THAN WAR.
Rev. Mary Baker @. Eddy's Views Regard
ing q Great Question.

Rev. Mary Baker q. Eddy's Views Regard
ing = Great Question.
When asked for an expression of her
views upon the great question that is
agitating the people Of the United States
at present, the Rev. Mary Baker G..
Eddy, the founder of Christian Science,
said:
'In reply to your question, Should
difficulties between the United States
and Spain be settled peaceably by
craftsmanship and diplomacy in way
honorable and satisfactory to both ma
tons? l will say l can see DO other
way of settling difficulties between in
dividuals and nations than that of their
wholesome tribunals, equitable law and
sound, we'll kept treaties.
"A bullet in mans heart never set
tied the question of his life. The men,
tai animus goes on and urges that the
answer to this sublime question shall
come from God, and its adjustment
shall be according to his laws. The
characters and lives of men determine
the peace, prosperity and life of ma
tions. Killing men is not consonant
with the higher law whereby wrong and
injustice are righted and exterminated,
but Outlines the cause of these evils.
Whatever weighs in the eternal
scale of equity and mercy tips the beam
on the right side, wherein and whereby
the immortal words and deeds of men
alone can settle all questions amicably
and satisfactorily. But if our nations
rights or honor were seized every citi-
zen would be a soldier and woman arm
ed with power girt for the hour. -

She subsequently entered my household
and assisted me for a year in my edi-
torial and literary work. r found her
handsome, gentle, amiable, high toned,
honorable, intelligent and of the highest
moral character. She was born in Nor
way 81 years ago of a family once very
wealthy, but reduced by the good ma
ture Of its head through indorsing for
friends to poverty, which drove the
children and grandchildren to America,
where they have had for years a hard
struggle with adverse fate. The young
lady's poverty was to me not a ~disquali-
fication. 1t rather endeared her to me.
And I have always felt more regard for
those women who had to support them
selves than for those who were handled
in the idle lap Of luxury.
Furthermore, while proud Of my Irish
blood, l regard the great Scandinavian
race as the purest representative of the
great original Aryan stock, to which all
