SAVAGE AND FEROClOUSs
The Deyil Dancers OF Ceylon and Thes..
Mysterious Ways.

The Devil Dancers OF Ceylon and TheST
Mysterious Ways.
The real Singhalese devil dancers ID
Ceylon are ferocious and savage fel-
lows. Their dances are revolving and
horrible. But their profession is popu.
lar and affords a royal living for the
men who go into it. There is super
stiion among the Singhalese that
when q man falls sick he is supposed
to be afflicted by a devil. In order to
rid him Of the disease the devil dane
ers are called in to propitiate the de-
mon. Two or more Of them go by
night to the sick mans house, In front
of which q small, square inclosure
about six feet high, has been made
Of grasses and palm leaves. This
answers the purpose Of the green roon
at a theatre. The men appear at hrst
without masks and with long yellow
grass streamers hanging from their
head and waists. The .oay light cast
on the scene by~Torches, made of
sticks, round which pieces Of cloth are
wrapped, dipped in oil. To the music
Of a tam-tam, kept up on one note the
dancers sing a peculiar, wild funeral
Grge, in which the spectators often
Join.
The dancers begin by slowly moving
about, stretching the right foot and
bringing the left up to it, and appear
as if they were searching for some
thing, during which the singing sounds
like crying. They are then asking the
devil to appear. There are twenty
four different sorts Of devils, and after
the first part, the dancers are con-
stantly changing their clothes to repre-
sent the entire species; some wear
masks, some don jaws and terrible
teeth reaching to their ears. The jaWs
open and close in very realistic man.
ner.
A dance lasts over two nights, as the
whole twenty-four devils have all to
be personated before the particular de-
mon who is affecting the man is pitch
ed on. When he gives signs Of his
presence the dancers go into q sort OF
frenzy, which increases as he takes
possession OF them; the tam-tam beats
faster and faster, the cnanting grows
into yeils, the men whirl and stamp
and the bells on their ankles jingle
and clash
At this stage the dancers appear TO
be looking for some object to give the
devil in sacrifice, and into which he
may pass. A chicken is usually offered
by the friend Of the sick man, and the
unfortunate bird is seized upon, twist
ed and tormented and bitten between
the false teeth, until the dancers,
worn out. move slower and slower,
and the chicken sinks into sort OF
trance, which is a sign that the devil
has accepted the sacrifice, and is will
ing to pass from the man into the bird.

A somewhat pathetic letter comes
from an old colored citizen. It is as
follows:

The Cashcw Kernel.

A highly favored nut, known as the
cashew kernel, is being imported into
Canada for dessert and confectionery
uses. It is produced in India only, and
it's season is from May to November,
but the production is not large, and in
porters must place their orders in ad-

OF DANISH ORIGIN
Arc Many Legends Told in Our Fol
Lore.

ARG Many Legends IolC IN OUE Z ok
Lore.
Nearly al legends, traditions and
myths, wherever they exist, have their
counterparts in other countries. Stu
dents Of folk lore will have it that such
condolences prove a common source
Similar to the Rip Van Winkle legend
in America are many European myths.
There is an old Danish tradition or q
wedding from which the bride strayeo
off to an elf-mound, where the elves
thronged about her and offered her
wine, Of which she drank. The result or
this indiscretion on her part was a
slumber, which lasted for a century.
On awakening she found her way back
to the house which she had left, as
she supposed, but little while before,
but there was only one old woman
there, who at last recollected that In
her fathers time his brothers bride
had disappeared upon her wedding day.
With the change Of sex and place
this is the story of the Kaatskill hunt
er.
There is a Danish legend resembling
part Of Longfellow's Hiawatha. That
the two poems should be alike in form
does not bear upon this discussion,
though it did lay Mr.. Longfellow open
to charge of imitation, but the matter
of Hiawatha was taken from legends
which Schoolcraft gathered among the
Indians.
The story of Great Claus and Little
Claus as told by Hans Christian Ander-
sen differs from the Irish Hidden and
Dudden in a few minor details only.
The scholars bespeak for both COM
mon Scandinavian origin. The list
might be prolonged almost Indefinitely.

Meaning of chickamauga

Thomas Foster, an authority on such
matters, writes in protest against the
Chickamauga Creek being referred to
as 'the river of DEATH" as If that was
the meaning of the Indian name. He
saws the Indian word Chickamauga
means boiling pot, and was the name
given the place because Of a whirlpool
that once existed where the Chicka-
nauga Creek emptied into the Tennes-
see river. The rocks which caused
the whirlpool were removed by the
government some years ago.

London. Ex-WnterinE Place.

Time was when London was a water
ing place, whose wells, if not rivalling
Bath or Harrogate, were widely famed
and frequented by people from all quar-
ters. In South London there was
quite a number Of spas-Lambeth
Wells, which sold water for penny a
quart, and gave it to the poor for moth
ing; St. Georges Wells, Sydenham
Wells. and Dulwich Wells being the
hest known.

a PaDer House.

A large paper house with sixteen
rooms has been erected By Russian
gentleman upon his country estate at
Sayinowka, in Podolia. The house was
constructed in New York by an AM
erican engineer, and cost $4,000 roll
bles. Its architect declares that it
will last longer than stone building.
To make the triumph Of paper still
more emphatic, the proprietor has re-
solved that the whole Of the furniture
shall be made Of the same material.

Salaries of Presidents.

Very few persons would suspect how
small the salaries Of presidents Of re-
publics are, when the enormous sums
crowned heads receive are taken into
consideration. The foreigner often
thinks the $4,000 salary Of the Presl-
dent of the United States is merely
q joke, and that he receives ten times
as much in reality, but the same for
eigner may not know that the French
President, in country where the
weaIthiest monachs once reigned, re
ceives only S120,000 a year. The
President of the little Andorra Re
public contents himself with a salary
Of SIS a year, and the President Of
the Swiss Republic must be satisfied

Ancient Clay Pipes.

The British museum contains very
full collection Of clay pipes, dating
back as far as the 18th century. The
custom Of waxing the pipe end to pre-
yent it sticking to the lips was intro
auced by the Dutch about the year
100.

nome.
A home is four walls inclosing one
family with identity of interest and a
privacy from outside inspection so COM
plete that it is world in itself, no one
entering except by permission-bolted
and barred and chained against all out
side irquisi1iveness. The phrase so
often used in law books and legal circles
is nightly suggestive-every mans
house is his castle. AS much so as
though it had drawbridge, portcullis,
redoubt, bastion and armed turret.
Even the officer Of the law may not en-
ter to serve writ except the door be
voluntarily opened unto him. Burglary
or the invasion Of it crime so otfen-
sive that the law clashes its iron jaws
on any one who attempts it. Unless 1t
be necessary to stay for longer or short
er time in family hotel or boarding
house-and there are thousands Of in
stances in which it is necessary, as |
showed you at the beginDing-unless
this exceptional case, let neither wife
nor husband consent to such permanent
residence.
The probability is that the wife will
have to divide her husbands time with
public smoking or reading room or with
some coquettish spider in'search Of un-
wary flies, and if you do not entirely
lose your husband it will be because he
is divinely protected from the disasters
that have whelmed thousands of hus
bands with as good intentions as yours.
Neither should the husband without
imperative reason consent to such a life
unless he is sure his wife can withstand
the temptation of social dissipation
which sweeps across such places with
the force of the Atlantic ocean when
driven by a September exuinoz. Many
wives give up their homes for these
public residences so that they may give
their entire time to operas, theaters,
balls, receptions and leyees, and they
are in perpetual whirl, like whiptop
spinning round and round and round
very prettily, until it loses It's It's equl-
poise and shoots off into a tangent.
But the difference is, in one case it is a
top and in the other a soul,
Besides this there is an assiduous ac-
cumulation Of little things around the
private home, Which in the aggregate
make great attraction; while the den
izen Of one Of these public residences
is apt to say: ''What is the use? |
have no place to keep them if should
take them" Mementos, bric-a-brac,

are the only class not provided for. The
rich have their palaces. and the poor
have their poorhouses, and criminals
have ieir jails, but what about the
honest middle classes, who are able
and willing to work and yet have small
income? Let the capitalists. inspired
of God and pure patriotism, rise and
build whole streets Of small residences.
The laborer may have at the close OF
the day to walk or ride farther than is
desirable to reach it, but when he gets
to his destination in the eyentide he
will find something worthy OF being
called by that glorious and impassioned
and heaven descended word-''home. "
Young married man, as soon as you
can buy such place, even if you have
to put on it mortgage reaching from
base to capstone. The much abused
mortgage, which is ruin to reckless
man, to one prudent and provident is
the beginning Of competency and a
fortune for the reason he Will not be
satisfied until he has paid it off, and all
the household are put on stringent eco
nomics until then. Deny yourself all
superfuities and all luxuries until you
can say, Everything in this house is
mine, thank God!-every timber, every
brick, every foot Of plumbing, every
doorsill." Do not have your children
born in a boarding house, and do not
yourself be buried from one. Have a
place where your children can shout
and sing and romp without being over
hauled for the racket. Have kitchen
where you can do something toward the
reformation of evil cookery and the les
sening of this nation of dyspeptics. As
Napoleon lost one Of his great battles
by an attack of indigestion, so many
men have such daily wrestle with the
food swallowed that they have no
strength left for the battle of life; and
though your wife may know how to play
on all musical instruments and rival a
prima dona, she is not well educaten
unless she can boil an Irish potato ana
broil a mutton chop, since the die
sometimes decides the fate of familie
and nations.
Have sitting room with at least one
easy chair even though you have to take
turns at sitting in 1t, and books out Of

chase for the making Of your family in
