MAGIC IN zUNl TRIBE.
Priest Appurcntly Lifted "a jug OF
Water With IL Feather.

Water with ~ Feather.
The most STARRING feat | ever saw
said q man who had made n study of
indians IN various parts of the United
States for his OWN OBLIGATION, was
performed by the priests Of the Zuni
tribe In Arizona, or. as they were call
ed, The Ancients Of Creation They
seat themselves in Il circle on the clay
door around a jar that will hold per
haps a gallon, an ancient and sacred
earthen vessel, which is filled with wa
ter. The chief priest carries in his hand
two ordinary eagle feathers, which are
tied together at the quill ends SO that
they make a fork. Behind the circle
Of the priests are other members Of the
tribe and the musicians with their
drums and gourds, who join in the
chants with emotion.
"Ihe lamentations continue for sew
eral hours. and when the participants
and spectators are brought up to a
proper pitch of excitement the priest
dips the feather tips into the water,
lifts the jar With them and holds it is
pended for n minute or two at a height
level with his face or breast. Then he
lowers it slowly to the ground. This
feat is repeated several times during
the performance. Apparently there is
nothing in the hands of the priest but
the feathers. and they appear to be in
serted into the mouth of the jar only
two or three inches. OF course there is
some trick about it, but | was never
able to discover it."-Seattle post-In-

Diplomatic Corps ostume
An interesting fact not generally
known in regard to the diplomatic
corps is that a member Of that august
body cannot, under the penalty Of Of
fetal reprimand and danger of recall,
appear at a fancy ball in the national
costume. This fact was developed one
evening when a large fancy ball was
given ut n of the private houses on
the same evening Of q presidential re-
ception to the diplomatic corps. Those
Of the diplomats who attended the
ball later in the evening were obliged
to first change the court costumes worn
at the White House. Inquiry on the
part of curious friends developed the
reason Just stated.

WRONG TRACK

Even the most careful person is apt
to get on the wrong track regarding
food sometimes and has to switch over.
When the right food is selected the
host of ails that come from improper
food and drink disappear, ven where
the trouble has been of lifelong stand.

SOME ODD OCCUPATIONS,
People in New York City Who Have
Queer Ways of Making
a Living.

People sitting around in the sunshine
of Battery park a few days ago were
astonished at the sight of a diver dis
hose stream. This was something new
in the diving line, it seemed to them
Was the diver going to fight flames with
his hose at the bottom of the bay?
Later, however, relates the New York
Times, they learned that the diver was
simply using the hose to force to the
surface certain jetsam that had gone to
the bottom with a pier which collapsed
a few years ago. There was a horse and
cart down there. The diver did not want
the horse, but the ironwork of the cart,
and that of certain wheelbarrows and
tools which had gone down was of value.
This is only one of the many queer
ways by which enterprising people around
the Battery make a living. The park
there probably holds the record for queer
methods of maintaining the elusive in
come for which we are all fighting.
There is the man who makes a business
of robbing people, but of course he is
not honest. There is another man who
watches in the summer months for peo-
pie to leave things on the benches, and
takes care that they are in his posses
sion before the rightful owners return.
But of course he is INSCRIPTIONS.
Then again there is the man who
makes a trip around the park every
morning picking up papers and rags and
fruit skins, all of which he sells to paper
mills. Now and then this person picks
up a scarfpin, a ring, or something equal
ly valuable, which he sells in the Bow
cry.
But the Queerest person to be seen
around the Battery park is the mar
with the little dinner pail. He wears
very seedy clothes; he is g~ray-haired
and the curiosity II feels over his gen.
eral appearance is further excited by
an old-fashioned pair of spectacles that
forms the dividing iline between his
shaggy eyebrows andh lis bushy beard.
He goes around every morning just
after daylight with his little dinner pal
picking UP minute objects from the
grass. A young man who crosses the
park very early on his way to work saw
him engaged in this mysterious worl
the other morning. The young mans
curiosity had been steadily growing FOL
two months.
Say, old man." said he, I'm very
| curious to know what you do for a liv'
| ing. working with hat dinner pail IL
the grass every morning."
The old man smiled and took the lie
off the dinner pail, revealing a seeth1ng
souirming mass of earthworms.
Many people have asked me the sam
question, young man" said he. grayely
II am under contract to supply worms

An Astonished Messenger Boy.

The writer's for the t-nny papers
have written jokes galore about the
messenger boy, likening his speed
unto the gait of the turtle, but 1t re-
manned for one Of the subjects OF
these jokes to coin an unconscious jest
far better than the majority of the
printed witticisms, says the Philadel-
phia Press.
The incident occurred at Broad and
Chestnut streets, and the actors were
two messenger boys. One OF the
youngsters was running down Broad
street at a speed that was hardly typl'
cal of the messenger boy. Another
boy had just left the Western Tele'
graph office at the corner of Chestnut
street, and was strolling slowly UP
Broad, his eyes glued on the latest
dime novel of the Terrible Terrors
Tumultuous Times" When the slow
going boy spotted the s~wiftspeeding
messenger his eyes stood out with
-amazement, and in tones of anxious
inquiry he cried out:
"Hully gee, Bill! What's de mat
ter? Amt yer workin'?"

The Solid South.

When Representative Williams was
engaged in political dialogue recently
with Representative Hill, OF Connect
cut, the latter mentioned the solid
South, which moved MI. Williams to
a Renaissance, says the Washington
Post.
Some years ago." remarked Mr..
Williams, "a gentleman from the
North observed to Bishop Wilmer, OF
Louisiana, in the curse Of an argu-
nent. that the South was solid.
Yes, the South is solid he re
piled, and SO are your lakes and
ponds at times, aren't they?
"The Northerner admitted that the
lakes and ponds of his section were
sometimes frozen solidly, but he want
ed to know what that had to do with
the solid South.
Your lakes freeze because of IN
pleasant breezes from the North con.
tinued the bishop. You have created
conditions in the South that have
made it solid"

How to Eradicate Dandelions.

Never permit them to go to seed, and
cut the crowns out of the grass with
a stiff knife. This sounds very tedious,
hut there is really nothing else to be
DONE. Even if all the tap root is not
removed, the plant is much weakened
by its decapitation, and If the grass is
kept short the dandelion is much en-.
couraged. OF course the lawn will be
constantly reseeded from adjoining
places, so eternal vigilance is required.
A taste for dandelion greens is a val
liable aid in subduing this pest.-Rural
New Yorker.

HlNDOOISM AND THE ZONE.
Exposition in Brief of the Theory OF
Transmigration by One Of
the Swami.

AS is well known, q great majority or
Hindoos are firm believers in the trans
migration of the soul. The doctrine,
however, is but imperfectly understood
in Christian countries. Students of
philosophy, says the Chicago Chronicle,
will be glad of the explanation which a
Hindoo swami who signs himself
Amanda M" gives of what transmigra-
ton really signifies to the Buddhist
twenty-five pages of close reasoning
lead him to the conclusion which he
gives in the following paragraphs:
ITO live in love with all that lives,
not seeking or not earning for to-mor-
rows guerdon; to make of his life an
oasis in the desert of self-desire; to
strive ever. even here and now. after
true love and wisdom and the perfect
peace-this is for the Buddhist the su-
preme ideal, the glory of his dhamma
and the hope of all his ways. All else
all thought of future gain on life for
self-is but a mockery and delusion. AS
something real true. Is Buddhaghosa
tells us. there rises in us the thought
Il am I was or I shall be- And it
Is all Illusion, the dewdrop deeming
itself a permanent and separate entity,
though the waters which compose it
lay yesterday in the oceans depths n
with the dawning light will rise and
melt into the wandering airs.
"But if this universal life be ever
changing, %.sorrowful and without a soul
there is still, our religion teaches, an
end and a cessation. Thought is the
creator of these worlds, the builder of
his earthly tabernacle, the maker of
Illusion, and to him who gains the vic
tory over thought comes in this life I'M
utterable peace. He is the victor who
here and now has triumphed over ignor-
ance; who a overcome all passions,
hatred and illusion and has passed
where nevermore the woes of earth car
come. To him is joy beyond all joy we
know-the joy of liberation from this
vanity of life; who knows that for him
rebirth is finished End his toll at end,
and that when death shall claim his
body there will be no more of change
or sorrow or delusion, ever as the mas
ter has said.
Decay must come to all that is.
Impermanent the elements of lifei
What has been born must cease to be;
Surely in cessation alone is happinesg!"

The Mendelian Law.

The great interest with which the
Mendelian law is regarded by biologists
is evidenced by the fact that in a recent
number of Biometrika no less than three
articles are devoted to it. In accordance
with this law, the characteristics OF
parents are distributed in hybrid off
spring according to a numerical law, and
the hybrids are not intermediate in their
characteristics between their parent
forms, but have changed characteristics
of one parent Or the other. The law was
originally worked out in regard to GER

REAL HOME OF BLUEGRASS.
It Was First Discovered in Indiana
and Kentucky Got 1t from
the Hoosier State.

az notice by the papers that some
body in the southern part of the state
wants to know where bluegrass first
started" said Prof. John Collett, for
mer. state g%eologist. "a great many
people contend that. it was first found
in kentucky, but this is not so. Blue
grass is a native of the Wabash val
ley, in Indiana. 1t was found by Will
liam Henry Harrison's troops during
that solemn march. to T~ippecanoe in
1911. Harrison gathered a small army
at Ohio Falls and started north. At
V%incennes the gallant heroes realized
that they could not go 200 miles up
the Wabash without feed for their
horses. Gen. Harrison had two cribs
of corn at Terre Haute, and persuad-
ed the men to go on. AS they came
on with hungry horses and scant feed
they found the ground covered with
bluegrass.
"Six miles west of Newport, on the
Collett farm, was found a bountiful
supply of bluegrass. Some places in
the bottom it was growing three feet

heard of by the Kentucky soldier. At
State Line City more bluegrass was
found, and from there to Tippecanoe
the whole line of marc was covered
with bluegrass.
1.-The seed was carried back to Ken
lucky and sown there, but they could
not make it thrive alone in the warm
soil, and it had to be sown with oats
and rye. Mr.. ~Sandusky, the father of
the present family of that name, told
me in an early day that no bluegrass
grew in Kentucky until after it was
imported from Indiana. Tom Down.
ing, of Terre Haute, was an ardent
admirer of Henry Clay, and once went
to visit him at his home neal Ashland,
Ky. After seeing the fine farm we'll
set in bluegrass, Downing suggested
that Mr.. Clay let him have some of
the seed to take back to Indiana.
TON, don't make a fool of your
SELF said Clay, the ~grandsire of Ken
lucky bluegrass is growing around
your house and in the fence corners
of your fields. We got the seed from
Terre Haute and the middle Wabash
and after a hard struggle got it to
grow here in its present luxurious
ness."-Indianapolis Journal.

and subject the bugs TO a treatment
which it will be impossible for them to
withstand. In this machine there is
a gas-producing apparatus, designed
to generate a large quantity of noX-
ious fumes. This gas is stored in the
reservoirs on the carriage, and the
latter is then driven over the field
l~engthwise Of the rows of plants. il
will be seen that the semi-circular
shape of the reservoirs enables them
to nearly inclose the plant growths for
a considerable space of time while the
carriage is being drawn along. The
gas in storage is poured from the
front of the hooded portion. and sur
rounds the plant completely for a Pc
riod long enough to kill all insects
which are harbored therein.-LOuis-
