No Saloons for Mulberry.

After We had gone to press last Fri
day afternoon Judge Gross decided the
Mulberry liquor license question by
refusing the petition for license Of the
four applicants. This will make Null
berry dry town during 1904 unless
the saloon men carry out their avowed
intention Of appealing to the circuit
court and winning their case there. No
one, however, honestly believes they
will appeal.
BY their own acts have the saloon
men brought about their downfall.
Had they conducted their business
within the pale Of the law, and had the
Mulberry officers done their duty, 1t Is
not likely liquor would have been petit
toned out of Mulberry.

The Jig is the oldest of the Irish ma
tional dances. Owing to the analogous
word "gigue" and the fact that jigs
were danced all over italy in the six
teenth century, the mistake has some
times been made of supposing the
dance to be of southern origin. Against
that it may be urged that Gesualdus
the italian composer of that time. iml
tated the old Irish national music. and
so the Jig may have Travelled to Italy
as well as the tunes for it. Jigs, too
were danced in Ireland long before the
sixteenth century, and, to conclude
no other country would have been
allowed to invent it, for, as an Irish
writer tells us, in REPUTATION of the
Italian theory, 1.-THE first known dance
tune in England, dating back to the
thirteenth century, was kind of Jig
and it is certain the English didn't in.

II love Is to flourish between two

How the Native of TERRA del FueRo
Manages to Exist.
In TERRA del Fuego the Yaghan In
dian leads remarkable existence. He
braves the seas of Cape Horn naked In
q fran bark canoe. He owns no faith,
religion or tribal de other than that of
the family, which huddles together for
food and sustenance. His only house
hold goods are the smoldering fire
brands which he carries on a slab of
tcrf in his canoe to each fresh hating
place The women, usually two, pad
die the canoe from the stern. The man
crouches in the bow on the lookout for
prey. On the shore runs one or two
dogs to snifr out and turn any lurking
otter or sea bird. The long kelp that
ninges the coast serves as a break
water for the frail craft, whose crew
only venture out into the open chan
nels when their foresight tells them
that calm will be of sufficient dura-
ton TO enable them to pass from one
1nhospitable beach to another. They
are unduly developed in the torso at
the expense OF the lower limbs, for
they pass their lives thus circltng the
coasts. Fishing without hooks, living
on mussels and fungus. this tribe
marks the limit to which man may
strip himself OF all aid or comfort and
Jet survive.
