THE ORIGIN OF MAN.
Belief of Some soudan Tribes Is
Curious and PoetcaI.

Curious and Poetical.
Among the appendices of Lord
Cromer's reports on Egypt and the
Soudan for 1902 is an interesting note
on the religious beliefs of the tribes
dwelling along the banks of the Behr-
el-Ghazal. The Dinka, it says, though
the most difficult of all to approach
on such subjects, appears to have a
most elaborate list of gods and demi-
gods. AT the head of the divine COM
munity are Deng-Dit Grain Giver) and
Abok, his wife. They have two sons,
Kur Kongs, the elder, and Gurung-Dit,
the younger, and daughter called All.
Yak. Their devil is called L'wal Bur.
rajok, and is the father of Abok, the
wife of Deng-Dit. There are other
relatives also. Their story of the
origin of mankind Tor IL may be of the
Dinka tribe) is curious and poetical
Deng-Dit gave to his wife Abok bowl
of fat, and she and her children, soften
ing the fat over the fire, proceeded to
mold from 1t men and women in the
image of gods. Deng-Dit warned her
against L'dal 1.-THE deviD, who was sus-
pected of having evil intentions toward
Deng-Dit. But Abok forgot, and with
her children went to gather wood in
the forest. There L'wal found the
bowl, drank the greater part OF the
fat, and from the remainder proceeded
to mold caricatures OF men and WON
en- with distorted limbs, mouths, and
eyes. Then, fearing the vengeance of
Deng-Dit, he descended to earth by
the path which then connected it with
heaven. On discovering the result OF
her neglect, Abok FASTENED to her
husband. who, greatly incensed,
started in pursuit of L'wal The lat
ter, however. had persuaded the bird
Atoi-toish to bite asunder with it's
bill the path from heaven to earth,
and no thus escaped from the divine
Vrath.-LOndon Telegraph.

U. S. GRANTS LOG CABIN.
Gen. Frederick D. Grant Visits the
Home of His 6oyhood.

Gen. Frederick Dent Grant on Tues
day visited the scene of his early
childhood the famous log cabin of his
illu5trious father, who built it on the
old Dent farm, in st. Louis county,
fifty years ago. "Hardscrabble," as
the famous civil war leader called this
homestead in his days of poverty, has
been removed by it's present owner
from its original site to the hill in
Forest Park, Just cast of the art pal
ace, where it viii stand during the
Worlds Fair.
Brig. Gen. Grant had been DESTROYS
of seeing his old home ever since his
arrival in st. Louis 1t was here he
had lived in his early childhood, and
he viewed the time-wOrn interior in
silence. After looking through the
empty rooms he named the uses to
which the four rooms had been put dur
ing the residence of the Grant family
in the cabin. The room to the right,
he said, had been the family dining
room; that to the left, the parlor. on
the second floor, the room above the
parlor was the apartment of his par
ents, while that above the dining room
was the room used by himself and his
brother. The cabin, although half a
century old, is in a fair state of pres
eryation.-St. Louis Globe-Demoerat

An Artlst,s Fearful Cruelty.


Il may be doubted whether the die
tates of fashion have ever led to any
thing more cruel and repulsive than
the French practice adopted to pro-
cure those sinister-looking animals
whose fierce and hideous attitudes are
reproduced in the jewelry worn to-day
by fashionable Partisan beauties. The
artist who provides these morbid de-
signs lives in a village near Paris, and
in different cages keeps cats, rats
and many other animals whom he
slowly starves to death. Though he
lives among his victims, the artist
has grown callous to their cries, and
as the wretched animals writhe in
their agony he gets the horrible and
fantastic forms he desires for the jew
elry destined to adorn the beautiful
women of the French capital II any
thing could be more incongruous than
this practice when brought into con-
trast with the gentle and sympathetic
traits usually ascribed to women it
would be difficult to say where it
could be found. 1t is charitable to
believe that the women who wear
such jewelry are not aware OF the
methods by which it is produced.
