According to very old-establishe6 custom dance takes place yearly on the 1st of May in the parish church of Musgrave, in Weetmoreland, in connec- tion with the custom of rush bearing. Twelve young maidens Of Brough (ap- proved by the Vicar), assemble on the 1st of May at 10 o'clock in the morn ing at the foot of Brough bridge, their white dresses decorated with flowers, and a garland on their heads in the shape of a crown, formed of rushes, with flowers entwined on the outside. Accompanied by band the maidens proceed through the fields to Mus grave, about a mile distant, the band playing and the ush-bearing dancing. On reaching the church the rush bear
 CTS are led up the north aisle and hang up their garlands on the side walls
 there to remain until the next year. The gospel Is read by the clergyman

The Menominee Indians in North eastern Wisconsin are as successful as anybody in their lumber operations. By the sale of pine logs in years past 1.200 men, women and children have 6 tribal fund which aggregates about s1.000.000 and is still growing. The tribe expends about $75,000 a year in logging operations and clears $50,000 to $100,000 yearly. which is added to the fund.

A CDriops Deoree of Nature.

4 curious similitude runs through the whole race of swift-footed horned mammals-deer, antelopes and goats in that every one has more or less white about. the tail and the adjacent parts of the launches. and also ten dency to decided marks on the face or throat, says a writer in New York publication. In the elk, it is dull yelIowish disk surrounding the tail; in the mule-deer, or blacktaii, of our west, the stern is marked by two oval white patches, between which the gray tail, ending in black tuft, is wagged continuously when the animal leaps away in alarm, by it's peculiar elastic bounds. Our eastern deer, when quiet ly feeding, betrays no more white be- hind than a mere V-shaped frings to the broad tail Let something alarm it, however, and up go head and tail These are it's private signals tc either friend or foe. The white throat-patch and small white edged ears are dis played as house flag to tell it's name;
  signal to all it's mates far and near, Look out, something suspicious!" And these diamond shaped white stern patches and the distinctive carriage of the tail serve another important pur- pose, for they form sure guides through tall grass or thick woods CT the dark ness of night for the animals of 8 pand to follow their leader, and par ticularly to enable the lawns to fol7 low their fleeing dams. Men familia1 with deer hunting in the west have told me more than once that deer of any sort, with lawns, will rush through & band of cattle, or even through a band of different deer, in the darkest night, and never one mistake a stran- ger for it's own kin, guided only by the white marks on the launches of those ahead.
