A recent issue of the New York Times
con tanned the following anecdote on one

"John Trotwood Moore, the author Of
Songs and Stories from Tennessee be-
fore he became known as literateur,
taught a country school near Columbia,
Tenn, his present home. Even then he
was contributing verses to the local

In This African Tribe the wives
Wear the Trousers.
The Mandlngoes, who inhabit.a tract
Of country in Africa, are strict Mo.
hammedans in religion; but, curiously
enough, they still retain many of the
superstltions of the negro races from
which they sprang. Consequently their
marriage ceremony is mixture of the
two, and. although it Is performed by
Il marabout or holy man in the mosque,
1t contains one very ridiculous element
Next in Importance 10 the marabout is
the bridegroom's sister. and when the
marriage ceremony reaches the point
where the visible bond, usually typified
in civilization by the ring, this sister
steps forward and in place Of the ring
presents the lady with pair Of trou.
sers, which are Immediately donned.
: The ceremony is concluded by a
very mournful song sung by the COM
panions of the bride, who then conduct
her again 10 the home of her parents.
MS, owing to the extreme probability
OF one or the other retrncting ut any
moment by Season of an unfavorable
omen, no house is built until the cere-
mony is completed. Polygamy is the
rule, but each wife has her own house.
They are the most tyrannical wives in
Africa and, hating each other. band
together against their husband and
rule him with a rod of iron.

The Yurghs assert that human souls
return into the bodies of animals and
that the spirits Of the latter take also
a human form and appear at deter
mined epochs. This is certainly the
reason why they are so kind to ami
mails. A Yuruk loves his horse as
much as his family. The horses have
their place under the tent, and 1t is
not uncommon 10 see them warmly
wrapped in a magnificent robe when
the Yuruk and his children are COW
cred with rags.
Some other customs attest also a pa
gan origin. In the orient everybody
knows that the Yuruks worship GER
tain trees and rocks. These facts yield
sufficient evidence that monotheism is
by no means the essential dogma of
their religion.

How Paintings Are Reproduced In
the Little CoIored Squares.
In order 10 reproduce n painting in
mosaic the artists or artisans take
n fiat sheet Of iron of the same size as
the painting surrounded by border
about an inch high. This receptacle is
then filed with plaster so as to obtain
a perfectly Hat surface. On this the
outlines of the figures are drawn. The
plaster is then cut mp into small
squares, which are TO be removed and
gradually replaced by rs many small
squares of mosaic OF the same size
In the holes left empty when the plas.
ter is taken away new plaster made
Of travertine dust, lime and linseed
oil Is poured.
After three days this new plaster
acquires the necessary consistency, an I
in this the artist sticks the little col
ored squares. When all the surface
Of the plaster is covered with these
colored pieces of mosaic the whole is
washed with sand and water until it
becomes quite smooth. The colp<ed
pieces are made Of mixtures Of dif
ferent minerals, like arsenic, lead,
glass, etc. These minerals are placed
in an oven. and the different colors
are obtained by the different degrees
of heat, and as many as $4,000 various
colors can be obtained.
