THE END.


Among many people Of every age
dancing has had warlike Significance,
and there are many tribes now that so
resort to the war dance. The famous
Pyrrhic dance represented the overtak-
Ing of an enemy and doing battle with
him. Today among the Zulus grand
dances are merely the accompaniment
to the colloQuial war and hunting
songs. in which the women put ques-
tons which are answered by the men.
There are mimic fights, which go by
the name of war dances, almost uni
versal among tribes to which war is
one Of the great interests of life. The
bravery dance of the Dahomeyans and
the hoolee of the Bhil tribe in the
Vindhya hills Of India are the most apt
Illustrations.
Nearly all savage tribes have a regu-
lar war dance, so that 1t Is scarcely
possible to select one as having more
warlike significance than the rest. All
the performers appear in fighting cos
tune, handle their weapons and go
through the movement of challenge,
conflict. pursuit or defeat. There is
one very picturesque dance of the Ma
tai Kaffirs which probably refers to
the departure Of the warriors for bat
tie. The women appeal plaintively to
the men, who slowly withdraw, stamp
ing on the ground and darting their
short spears or assagais toward the
sky.

Most of Them Paid.

A large company of easily gulled in.
dividuals was victimized short time
back in small country town. By
means of posters announcing grand
sacred concert and by free distribu-
ton of complimentary tickets bearing
on their face this condition, "No Gen
tleman Admitted Unless Accompanied
by a Lady, large audience was gather
ed at the theater. When the crowd began
to press in through the doors, the ticket
taker began shouting:
"All having complimentary tickets
will please pass up stairs to the gal
lery."
This was a dark, dreary, hot place,
not having the capacity for seating
comfortably more than 100 people.
Those who pressed forward with their
tickets were told that if they did not
wish to go to the gallery they could be
admitted by paying shilling apiece.
Every man who appeared with com
plimentary ticket of course had lady
with him and felt sort of embarrass-
ment if she were not his wife or init
mate acquaintance, SO he yielded to
oompulsion and paid rather than retire,
and SO the scheme succeeded to the ex-
tent of filling the house.-London An.

A Race For a wife.

In Lapland the crime which Is pun
ished most severely next to murder Is
the marrying of girl against the ex-
press wishes of her parents.
When sutton makes his appearance,
he says nothing to the girl, nor does
she often know who he is, but her par
ents inform her that her hand has been
applied for. Then on a day appointed
the girl, her parents and friends meet
together and sit opposite to one an
other, so that they can view each 9TH
er's face and converse freely. When
the feast is over, the company repair
to an open space, where "the race for n
wife" is to be run. The usual distance
Is about a quarter of mile. and the
girl Is placed third Of the distance in
advance of the starting point.
If she be fleet of foot and does not
care for her sutton. she can easily
reach the goal first. and If she accom-
pllshes this lie may never trouble her
again. If, OH the other he nd, she wish
es to have him for husband, she has

Primitive Chronology

The most primitive method in chro-
nology is that which enables man to
orient himself in the world of time by
associating particular lunations with
vicissitudes of weather, with seasonal
aspects of vegetation and with the con-
stantly changing sights and sounds of
the animal world. In the calendar of
the Crees, for example, we find such
designations as duck month";" frog
moon," "leaf MOON" "berries ripe
month";" buffalo rutting moon,"
"leaves entirely changed" "leaves in
the trees" fish catching moon."
"moon that strikes the earth cold"
Coolest moon," "ice thawing moon"
and eagles seen MOON"
So in the calendars of Central Amer
lea and Mexico the months are named
variously after the arrival of birds, the
blossoming of flowers. the blowing of
winds. the return of mosquitoes and
the appearance of fishes The Greeks
constantly used the movements of
birds to mark the Seasons The ar
rival of the swallow and kite was
thus noted Hes..l tells us how the
cry of he crane signalcd the d, parture
of W f. Mile the setting Of the
ileia,ivs gave nalicc to the pluwman

chase of the Norcombe murderer that
he had not felt before

he had not felt before.
AT Buffalo he was notified by the
chief of detectives of New York that an
Englishman exactly answering his tele-
graphed description had sailed week
before on the liner Strelesia He learned
nothing further upon his arrival in
New York and was about to sail for
England-was on the dock, in fact
when he heard newsboy shouting:
Extra, extral Terrible loss of life,
Liner Strelesia sunkl Two hundred and
fifty. drownedl''
Total wreck of the Strelesia," he
read, in glowing headlines. Fearful
loss of life. And then: "a boat was
picked up in mid-Atlantic by the Ma
jestic having on board five of the crew
OF the missing steamship Strelesia, these
being the only survivors of the i'll fated
vessel +"
Then followed some brief personal
narratives and the list of passengers,
among which was the name of Silas
Gosnell.
The sea had avenged the murder of
Josiah Marsden. Silas Gosnell had gone
before higher court, greater Judge.
1t was useless to proceed further.
Consequently Darrent returned to Chi
cago, where he found another note
awaiting him, another of Gosnell's
mocking epistles:
Dear NJ. Lecoq-Why don't you have look at
Silas Gosnells house by the river2
well, there's one thing in favor of
the poor wretch" Darrent soliloquized
as he placed it with the others in his
pocketbook-'he didn't intend to let
an innocent man suffer for his crime"
Little remains to be told. Shortly
after Darrent's return to Chicago the
governor Of Illinois pardoned Astray
Marsden, and Astray soon found him
self the possessor of a snug fortune
the fortune that had been his uncle's.
Not long thereafter there was hap
py wedding at Norcombe, and one of
the guests was Herbert Darrent, the
American Lecoq, who had not long be-
fore braided a hangman's moose for the
bridegroom.
But all this was forgotten.
"Let bygones be bygones," said
Astray Marsden as he heartily grasped
the detectives hand.
~ am glad you are SO forgiving,"
was Mr. Darrent's reply. "and, while
this case has been great disappoint-
ment to me professionally, l freely for
give you, Astray, for not being guilty
of the murder of your uncle, We all
make mistakes. ard thus far this case
is my very worst. In the future shall
be more suspicious of circumstantial
evidence. Here's to the health of the
happy pairl May long life and happi-
ness be theirsl"

Saved by a Tornado.

In 1850 Grenada, in the West Indies,
was visited by a tornado with singular
effects. Unlike similar phenomena,
this was to the inhabitants q proyi-
dental deliverance from a pest which
threatened their economic ruin. Some
time previously the Formica sacchari-
vora, a species Of ant, appeared in
such numbers as to make the annihila-
ton of the sugar cane question Of a
few weeks only. After in vain trying
many expedients and Offering large re-
wards for remedy against the plague,
the helpless people resolved to aban-
don their homes in a body and betake
themselves to another island. BY this
famous tempest Providence accom-
plished in few moments what man,
with all his appliances, had failed to
overcome. The ant was exterminated.
