There is perhaps no more favorable
place in which to study negro charac-
ter and manners than the camp-meet-
ins. This time-honored institution is
no less social than religious in it's
nature. 1t is usually held in a partly
cleared grove under tho auspices of the
local clergy. Hither the colored pop
ulation of the surrounding region flock,
coming on foot. in carriages and wag-
one. in ox-carts and m~ule-carts. ON
horseback and muleback-in short. by
every conceivable mode of locomotion.
Their dress is as varied as their vehicles.
Indeed. the negroes OF the south are OF
all people the most cosmopolitan in the
matter of dress. Clothes of every mag
Unable style. color and previous rom
dition OF servitude" are pressed into
use. SO that in this particular they pre-
sent ms great n variety as the bcggar in
the nursery rhyme.
As we approach the grove, what a
medley OF sound breaks upon our hear
ing.-the neighing of horses, the bel.
lowing Of cattle. the seesaw braying OF
mules, the laughter and screams of chill
dren. and Joined with these a perfect
babble Of human voices. the whole
forming a discordant din. such as no hui
man ear NEVER heard elsewhere. En-

CAPE COD SANDSTORMS.
Far More Dreaded Than Are the
Western BIixxards.

The blizzard is an unknown quantity
in Massachusetts. but in the vicinity OF
Cape Cod they have q substitute which
is nearly as bad--in fact. the inhabi-
tants dread il more than the people Of
the west fear the blizzard. These are
the sandstorms which blow over that
remarkable arm Of lands. When the
wind blows in a gale from the north
east the soft. light sand drifts in i'm
mense clouds. completely obscuring all
objects around further than ten feet
away. 1t is worse than now in many
respects. 1t not only covers up the road
or trail in a short time. but il changes
the general features Of the landscape
permanently. People get lost in the
s~andstorms, and often. when the storm
subsidies. the landscape is so altered
that they are bewildered and puzzled in
trying TO locate their homes.
The sand may not be as freezing cold
as the snow. but il is far more injurious.
II cuts and grinds the face as II strikes
It. and performs about the same opera
tion as a sandblast. Men who have been
lost ont in the furious sandstorms and
members Of the Hfe-saving patrol have
returned home at night with their faces
lacerated and discolored so that they
resembled raw beef. Even the glass
windows Of the houses are so ground by
the flying sand that they have 10 be re-
placed often by new ones. After one
heavy storm IL is almost impossible TO
see through the glass. People now shut
the blinds Of the houses facing the
wind during s%andstorms in order 10
save the glass. No man can face the
sand clouds and endure the pain long.
As the prevailing sea winds are from
the northeast on the cape. the sand
dunes are drifting steadily and persist
emily toward Provincetown. Province
town owns its existerce to-day 20 wise
laws which empowered a "beach grass
committee" 10 enter any mans inclosed
garden or field and plant MARIAN grass
II the sand was uncovered or movable.
