Unmusical Wolves.

An incident just reported from Siyae.
Turkey, seems to prove that the feeling
which music awakens in wolves is fright.
Two musicians-a drummer and a piper
returning to their village from a we'd
ding party were overtaken by a snow
storm, and sought refuge in q deserted
mill. They lit fire with some wood
they found in the place, and were warm
ing themselves when they saw a wolf
emerge from dark corner Of the build
ing. They jumped up on n shelf and. TO
their dismay, saw several more wolves
join the first. The animals rushed in
their direction, and the drummer, at q
loss for mode of defense. set to beat
ing his drum whereupon his companion
iustinctiyely played his pipe The effect
was marvellous. The music so terrified
the wolves that they attempted 10 run
away, and, as the door was closed they
began fighting, and several of them were
torn TO pieces, the survivors eventually
escaping through a hole in the wall
This incident is vouched by the govern
ment Gazette of Sivas.

PORTO RICO'S BoNBoNs.
Chocolates Recently introduced a New
Treat for New York Girls

If lovers of bonbons want something
delicious and out of the ordinary thew
must get the genuine Porto Rico choco-
lates and chocolate spirals that have
lately come to New York. The manu-
facture of bonbonS from the native West
Indian chocolate bean has been fine art
with the Porto Ricans for two centuries.
and the fame of their wares long ago
spread to Southern France and to Spain.
where the line DANES and petted beauties
will have no other brand Broadway
confectioners have now consented 10 let
the American girl taste of this new-old
luxury. In the making OF these choco.
iates the utmost care is taken in the
selection of the beans and only the
standard, slow going methods are used
IN the preparatory treatment When
making the bonbons every detail that
furthers perfection is considered, each
ingredient ground and bolted to velvet
like smoothness, and the filings rolled
and melted and rerolled with the great
est pains to render them fine and flaw
less. The combination of flayors and
the essential quality of these flayors is
a special feature and affords variety
more after the fashion of French than
New York bOnbons.
In explaining the merits of these odd
sweets many secrets of confectioners leak
out. 1t seems that a good deal of the
average priced chocolate is prepared in
ways that injure its quality, and a yari-
ETY. Of adulterants are also introduced.
Thus the beans are prepared for candy
making by the use OF alkalis and by q
process which saves time. Then the
chocolate is diluted or blended with ar
rowroot, tapioca, farina and other
starchv ingredients which mar the fla
vor, or else darkened with burnt lumber.
burnt sienna or other clays. The Porto
Rico chocolate is absolutely pure and
contains almost no sugar until made np
into cakes and bonbons. And the max
ers are so jealous of their reputation
that when they cannot secure the best
beans they label the output as second
quality or leave it unlabeled.-New York

SAVAGE ETIQUETTE.
Weird Dances in Tropical Africa, with
Torches Flashing.
THE END.

Weird Dances in Tropical Africa, with
Torches Flashing.
1t surprises the habitue of London ball
rooms 10 hear that one can have almost
as many dances in the wilds of tropical
Africa as in London during the season.
There are few indeed who are aware that
such a thing as etiquette exists among
the wild, naked, and unciyilized Pagans
Of Western Africa. who fall down and
worship q curiously-shaped stone or a bit
of rudely-worked brass; but etiquette
among these savages is really as inn
portant as il is in London or Paris, and
differs from our own in that the offender
against African tribal etiquette courts
physical instead of only social annihila-
ton.
An expedition not long ago penetrated
into the. Lagos Hinterland. and had the
good fortune to dwell for several weeks
encamped among people of whom but a
very few had ever seen Il white man be-
fore. The excitement among the native
tribes was considerable, and to celebrate
the event the chiefs of various villages
organized Fetish dances, TO which the
white men were invited. These dances
sometimes took place IN the day time,
and the dancers, arrayed in glittering
headpieces, bracelets, loin cloths and lit
tie else, gyrated, turned and twisted into
uncouth contortions, to the accompani-
ment Of hideouS tom-toms and weird
songs until one or more dropped with
fatigue, only to have their places taken
by others. who, springing with a wild
shrek into the ring, kept the wild fun
going fast and furious until the specta-
tors grew giddy, and the musicians arms
grew weak.
Often the dances were at night, and
then they were weird indeed The flick
ering torches of pine wood spluttering in
the fetid, steamy atmosphere, and light
ing up tho bright eyes and eager, excited
faces Of dancers and spectators alike,
the tuneless, but strangely musical tom
tom and the quaint chant and wild cries
of the chorus, all tended to produce a
scene of unframed and untrameled barbar-
ity such as it is a privilege to behold

INSANITY HAS ITS ZONES.

-ew England and California Are Gem
tiers of Mental Deraugement.
In a recent lecture delivered before
he National Geographical Society at
Washington DR.. William a. White, di-
;ector of the Binghamton branch of the
New York insane asylum, devoted
much attention to the geographical dis
ribution of insanity. At the outset of
ais lecture DIR. White produced certain
facts and figures showing that beyond
l doubt insanity was increasing much
more rapidly than the population. The
cause of this, he said, was due to hered-
ty; that is to say, the unrestricted
marrying of those tainted with insan-
lty, and to the fact of this country be-
.ng the dumping ground for the trash Of
Europe. In support of his latter asser-
lion he quoted figures showing that 25
per cent of the $4,000 insane persons
confined in New York asylums were of
foreign birth.
Insanity was most prevalent, he
stated, in regions where competition
was strongest and where the struggle
for existence ragged the fiercest. Thus
The two great centers of insanity in the
United States Were, he said, New Eng
and, where there is one insane person
for every 333 inhabitants, and Califor-
MIA, where there is one lunatic for every
$50 people.
The region of least insanity, he stated,
was that section of the West from the
Rockies to the Mississippi, comprising
the great agricultural and stock-raising
belt. He showed that insanity was I'M
known among the Indians, and almost
so among the Southern negroes, al
though in the North where the negro
comes in competition with white labor
mis- suicide rate runs to 4 high point.
DR. White presented some figures
which seem to indicate that of all occu
pations that of agriculture is the least
liable to produce insanity. The popula
ton of mining and lumber camps had q
relatively high rate of insanity, where
as in all farming sections it was cX
ceedingly low.
In conclusion, he stated that the prin
eipal causes and agents of insanity
were alcoholism, mental worry, despair
disappointment and all the other pains
that afiiict the mind in Il highly civil
| lied state, where the struggle for exist
ence is sharu and DitilpSS

OF course, there was an inquest, and
the verdict was, Accidental death by
drowning"
Victor Travers heard of it very soon,
and came to see her once more, for the
last time, then disappeared, no one knew
where, to live down his sorrow alone.
In after years he returned, and findisg
Pansy still with her sister, he asked her
TO forgive and console him, which she
consented TO do.
But there was one heart that was for
ever welded to the memory of her, who,
for the sack of her sister and her own
honor, sacrificed her hfe-the life that
was to have been his own.
Her betrothed husband never married.
He died bachelor, never in all his after
life forgetting the one and only woman
he really ever loved"

All gowns for spring and summer wear
are so elaborately trimmed this year that
often the cost of the trimming is double
that Of material, and an absolutely plain
costume is really quite conspicuous by con-
trast. All sorts of descriptions Of braid are
used. while the fat bias bands of some 9TH
er material than the gown trim thin or
thick. light or dark, heavy OF light weight
fabrics, and, II must be confessed, add
greatly to the smart appearance Of the
costume.
Bands afford the greatest scope for trim
ming. for they are no longer out on first n
straight lines. but are curved and formed
in half circles, In double circles in two or
three widths, are put on straight. and the
other In a more intricate design, exactly
az though It were piece of braid.
Silk. satin, cloth and velvet are all fash
ionable for these folds. and although velvet
is a material that always seems more
suited to winter than summer in the folds
It is quite different and looks after all like

the velvet ribbons which are always In
fashion on the summer frocks.
Nuns Yelling gowns are thought to be
especially smart trimmed with the narrow
velvet, either in bias bands or in the rib
bon ITSELF and, after, all, 1t Is rather a
relief to ZEE a nuns yelling gown that has
not so much lace on It as has been the
craze for the last two seasons.
In the different shades Of brown yelling
the color is always made to appear far
handsomer and richer with the velvet rib
bon a shade or two darker. and the red
yelling Is immensely improved by the red
velvet instead of any fancy braid. such rs
was at one time considered the smartest Of
all.
Medallions Of lace the same color as the
material used in connection with entire
deux OF the same lace Is another style Of
trimming that is very much in demand.
Medallions of embroidery or of embroidered
lace are also in fashion, and when of the
same color are certainly most attractive in
effect, especially on the white, black. tan or
blue gowns. On other colors they are not
