| To the untutored eye of the paleface
| Indian dances have a sameness about
| them that is distressing. But the red
brethren who inhabit the desolate me-
sas of New Mexico or the awe-inspir-
| ing canons of Colorado will explain
| with an air of pity for the dullness of
| their civilized visitors that there is d
vast difference between all the various
social and semi-religious functions
known as the Bear Dance" Eagle
Dance" Sun Dance" Corn Dance
and innumerable others; also, that
each tribe has its own peculiar dances.
There is, therefore, nothing to do but
accept the red mans explanation
with reservations.
The Stick" or Town dance of the
Pueblos is a purely social function
open to both sexes The men carry
their higaly decorated shields and
spears. ornamented with feathers. The
women carry nothing. but keep their
hands wrapped up in their blankets.
There is no sort of figure, no taking
hold of hands, nor anything else re-
sembling the dance of the paleface.
Then dancers merely hop around in a
circle. keeping time to the music with
their feet.
None hut men may take part in the
Eagle" dance. This is more aero
battle than the Stick" dance In this
the dancers try to initiate the move
ments of the eagle, gliding slowly
about at times on tiptoe to indicate
that they are soaring among the
clouds. again crouching with out
stretched arms and moving swiftly
over the ground as an explanation that
the king of birds is swooping down
upon his prey.
To photograph an Indian dance is
not so easy as it might appear to the
unsophisticate6 observer. Long famil-
iarity with the camera has made the
noble red man sadly mercenary. When
ever he sees a lens pointed in his d.
rection he Immediately covers his face
with his hands, and, running up to the
photographer, demands half dollar
for the privilege of taking his picture.
short time ago it occurred to the
manager Of moving picture machine
company that an Indian dance would
be a splendid subject for a biograph
picture. Accordingly a man with the
necessary apparatus was sent out to
New Mexico to photograph a Pueblo
dance. Aver a week of negotiations
the Pueblos agreed to go through
dance for the benefit of the photog-
rapher in consideration of the sum OF
$40, to be paid in advance. Indians do

Sounds from a BaIlnon.

A writer of the Strand Magazine de-
scribes the establishment he expert
enced when, riding over London in a
balloon, at height of more than hall
a mile, he heard the deafening roar
of the great city beneath him as ii
could not be heard on the ground. The
noise. even at that height was Sc
harsh and intense as to be painful to
the ear. How perfect a sound con-
ductor the air is was shown when the
balloon drifted far over the city to
a wooded part of the country, where
the murmur of the leaves moved by
the wind half mile below was dis
tinctly heard.

not entertain very high opinion of
the commercial integrity of the white
man. They take no chances.
The money was paid, the machine
adju and the dance began. But
the 4stant the operator began turning
the crank of the machine the clatter OF
the apparatus caused a wild panic
among the dancers. Every one fed in
mortal terror to safe refugees behind
rocks and houses, leaving the photog-
rapher transfixed with establishment.
He tried to explain that the machine.
though noisy, was perfectly harmless;
he entreated the dancers to return, he
offered brides, but to no purpose; not
a Pueblo would risk his life again in
front of the internal machine for love
or money. The biograph man was at
last obliged to go away without any
pictures, also without his $40.

(St. Louis Letter.)

In one OF those monumental books,
which more and more. as the years go
by, become the wonder of the modern
scientific world, Charles Darwin lays
down the principle that the disuse Of
an organ results first in depriving it Of
power; secondly, in dwarfng, and,
thirdly, in reducing it to a rudimen-
tary condition, or abolishing it alto
gether. He thinks it probable that
the human ears, for instance, were
once movable, for there are still to be
found rudiments Of the muscles that
once drew them forward into an atti-
tude OF attention, and backward when
the immediate necessity for their use
had passed. He further believes that

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

marck and Garibaldi.
One is always afraid that when a
man falls suddenly in love he may fall
out of 1t equally quickly, but among
celebrated men of the century who
have fallen in love at first sight and
married happily are Garibaldi and
Bismarck. In Garibaldi's autobiogra-
ply the story of his love is told. He
relates, how, feeling the need of some
one who would love him, and believ-
ing women to be "the most perfect
beings he determined to seek a wife
for himself. He was then pacing the
deck of the Itanarica, and he CHANGED
to look upon the houses of the Barra,
a little hill at the entrance of the
Laguna Of st. Catherine, in Brazil.
With the aid of a glass which he car
ried he saw young girl, and he or
dered the men to put him ashore. On
landing he tried to find. the house
which he had seen from the ship, but
failed, and, meeting an acquaintance,
he accepted an invitation to take cof-
fee al his house. "On entering the
house." says Garibaldi, "the first per-
son on whom my gaze fell was the
one who had caused my coming ashore.
It was Anita, the mother of my chill
dren. We both remained in an &c
static silence, gazing at each other

was equally brief. Bismarck met and
lost his heart to Fraulein Won Putt
hammer at a wedding, and thereupon
wrote to her parents and boldly de-
manded her. AS at this time he was

talk of the country, it is not surpris-
should say: ut was as if some one
had struck me on the head with a

love being evidently returned, the
lady's parents invited him to visit

Abont the Desired Effect.
The following interesting story was
published many years ago, but its au-
thenticity cannot be youched for, says
the Albany Argus In the year 1776,
when Gov. George Clinton resided in
Albany there came a stranger to his
house one cold winter morning, soon
after the family had breakfasted. He
was welcomed by the household and
| Hospitality entertained. A breakfast
was ordered and the governor, with
his wife and daughter, who were sit
ting before the fire employed in knit
ting, entered into conversation with
him about the affairs of the country,
which naturally led to the inquiry as
to what was his occupation: "The
emotion and hesitancy with which the
stranger replied aroused the suspicion
of the keen-sighted Clinton. He COM
municated his suspicious to his wife
and daughter, who closely watched his
every word and action. Unconscious
of this, but finding that ne had fallen
among enemies, the stranger was seen
to take something from his pocket and
swallow it. Mn :. Clinton, with the
ready tact of woman of those troub-
lous times. went quickly into the
kitchen and ordered hot coffee to be
Immediately prepared and added to it
strong dose of tartar emetic. The
stranger, delighted with the smoking
beverage, partook of it freely, and
Nine. Clinton soon had the satisfaction
of seeing it produce the desired eff
feet. True to scripture, "out of his
own mouth he was condemned. A
silver bullet appeared, which, upon ex-
animation was unscrewed and found to
contain an important dispatch to Bur-
goyne. The spy was tried, convicted
and executed and the bullet is still
preserved in the family"

A glamor on the phantom shore

The river streams between.

Flash back in violet stars.

To Norway or to France she goes,
And all her happy flags are free,
Her sails are flushed with rose.

His Little Contribution,

One of the many stories told of the

that when the editor of a local paper
in the north asked him "if he would
kindly furnish an article on "a light
theological topic" Wallace responded
with one bearing the title "rhe Rcla-
lions Between the Presbyterian Church
and Modern Thought" When set up
the article made 40 columns, and it he
came puzzle to editor and printer
how to get rid of it. They began by
using 1t in pieces, and whenever the
printer said to the editor, we've got

Of rawhide. stuck full of deadly knives.
Their apparel terminated with pigskin
boots and no stockings, and they car
ried long Darreled tirelock, loaded
with ounce balls Of lead.
They were animated with a common
hatred of the Spaniard which in their
eyes justified any attack upon his per-
son or property. and by wild sort Of
attachment to each other in their peril
