INDIAN SNAKE DANCES.
But II Is Imp0aslble to Always
Prevent Th-m.

In speaking Of the missionary work
needed for the Indians in the west a
student of the Indian school at Carlisle
thus describes the snake dance: The
Noqui snake dance is held once every
year, and in the summer only. These
dances are held on the top of high
mesa. where the villages are situated.
The dance saw took place at Oriha. 30
miles from Keams Canyon. \. i. One
could hardly believe that the snake
dancers held those rattlesnakes in their
mouths unless be saw it himself. but
can assert that such thing is true.
When the. snake dancer finishes his per.
formance with reptile he puts it on
the ground. and. as was standing near.
one of them made straight for me. OF
course l ran; so did those who stood
rear me, but one OF the snake dancers
saw it and picked it up as you would a
gentle eat.
"These men don't care. however, TO
pick up a snake when it is in coil.
They put their sacred meal. as they call
ii, on the snakes, and brush them gently
with the soft end of their feathers until
the rattlesnakes start TO run, then
catch them.
''These dances in the desert are meant
as prayers for rain, addressed TO the
gods in the under world, to whom the
snakes are believed to act as messen-
gers. When the dance ends the snakes
are reverenily restored to liberty, in
trusted with the moqui-prayers to the
gods. After the dance that day it rained
hard, and the people would naturally
believe that the snake dance had
brought the storm.
AT Ponca, O. T., a sun dance was
held, and in their excitement the Pen
cas- cut holes in their flesh, through
which they introduced thongs and fas-
tened these to saplings, until, pulling
at them, each dancer tainted or fell
from exhaustion. White Weather, a
noted chieftain, was overcome by the
heat, and died from its effects. He
came from Nebraska with about 50 of
his people to visit the Poncas.
1.-The Messiah dance, the sun dance
and the war dance are prohibited, but
agents find it difficult to prevent their
occurrence. They are most demoraliz-
ing. An agent imprisoned 300 Indians
who, contrary to his orders. persisted in
the ghost dance. After religious serv-
ice all the chiefs spoke, and these were
some Of their words: I trust the
Christian people. We have talked to the
Great Spirit. l don't know something
true. but just worship. Isee the earth
and the trees and the sky and know
somebody must have made them. We
don't know about it, but you know
about the Christ. We wish you to tell
the Great Spirit for us. for you are more
His children, and He listens more to
you. We want the women to come up
TO their white sisters and learn the
right. We are like in the dark, but
these words are light to us-good
words. We want a church. We give
you a place. ~. Y. Tribune.

BUBBLE CANES.
Of Pole, Played with Pipes
and Sods.

Probably the liveliest stamusement for
an evening party may be enjoyed ~
means OF cake Of brown soap and
number Of common clay pipes. The
game should be played in the dining
room. where a basin of strong soap
suds is placed in the center OF the
table.
The young. and old folks as well, are
given clay pipes with neat ribbons at
tached and an ironing board covered
with cloth is rested on the backs OF two
chairs of different height. At the lower
end of the board two pieces OF wood
are fastened so as to stand upright on
either side OF the board. forming
goal.
Now the object of the game is for
each player in turn TO dip his pipe in
the suds, blow a bubble, drop il on the
upper end of the board and carefully
blow it forward, and, IL possible,
through The goal. As it is very difficult
to drop the bubble on the board. each
one is given three chances. and, finally,
the one who succeeds in blowing the
most bubbles through the goal is the
winner.
At the end of the game. IL a rninber
OF persons have made the same number
of .goals." further interesting bubble
contest can be introduced All should
start together TO blow large bubbles,
the one who blows the largest being the
winner of the evening.
The addition of small amount o;
2lycerine to the soapsuds will make
the games easier, preserving the bub
bles to greater size and strength. Fur.
ther fun may be had By two. three oil

MIDNIGHT SUN ECLIPSE.
enOn Which VIM Visible No.
where On Earth.

The ordinary almanac gave for De-
cember 13 partial eclipse Of the sun,
invisible at Greenwich. And indeed
the expression as to its invisibility
might have been put much stronger,
for it was TO be seen in no inhabited re-
gion of the earth. An antarctic expe-
dition might possibly have sailed with
in its sphere of influence. but as it was
it passed unmatched by human eyes.
This being so. and the eclipse one that
was necessarily wholly unseen. 1t would
seem as If nothing more could be said
about it, and as if it might be passed
without comment. But. unseen as it
was, the eclipse was by no means devoid
Of interest. First of all it offers us an
example of what seems a paradox-an
eclipse Of the sun taking place at local
midnight. It is. moreover. the first of
three eclipses falling within period of
no longer than single calendar
month. December % will bring total
eclipse of the moon at Greenwich; Jan
uary IL partial eclipse of the sun.
And the three are intimately connect
ed with each other. The latter in near
~ all its characteristics stands in
strong contrast to the eclipse Of de-
cember la large partial eclipse which
will be seen just outside the borders
of the arctic regions, at their midday
and in their midwinter. Nor is this Sc
quence accidental. 4 similar trip!et
Of eclipses-the first partial of the sun
and seen near the south pole, the sec
ond total of the moon, the third partial
of the sun, and visible near the north
pole-occurred just IS years ago. all
three eclipses falling in December.
1850. Going back yet another Is years
we find the same thing repeated some
ten days earlier in the year. and so on
right away backward till 1864, when,
while the southern eclipse was large
partial one and fell nearly in the midi
winter of the southern hemisphere. the
northern was a mere Craze taking
place at the midnight of the regions
from which it was visible. Looking
forward we find in like manner that Is
years hence another similar triplet Of
eclipses will fall at the turn Of the
year, and yet another is years later
still. This ends the series of these mic-
night eclipses Of the sun in the south
polar regions, for January. 1853. will b.
marked only by total eclipse Of the
moon.-Lopdon Times.
