DRIVING OUT A DEMON.


Cured a Fever.
On the. plains of Tartary. the 'land
of grass" the struggles between good
spirits and demons often occasion con-
siderable annoyance for the ignorant
tribesmen and afford profitable en-
ployment for the lamas. Peres Hue
and Gabet, French travellers who
crossed them threescore or more years
ago, witnessed the struggles Of the
learned men to drive out one of the
demous
The aunt of the chief of an encamp-
ment in the valley of the dark waters
was i'll of fever. Her nephew waited
in patience, but she did not get well,
and at last he called in the lamas. His
worst fears were confirmed. A demon
of considerable rank was present in
her and must be cast out, task for
which the lamas would need to be well
paid. Eight others We're at once called
in by the first, and together they made
from dried herbs an image which they
called the demon of Intermittent f.
vers" This image they put In the pa
tents tent.
An hour before midnight the lamas
ranged themselves in semicircle In
one end of the tent, with cymbals, sea
shells, bells, tambourines and other
noisy instruments. The remainder or
the family made up the circle, while
the patient crouched opposite the image
of the demon. The chief lama had be-
fore him copper basin filed with mil
let and some little paste images. The
tent was full Of smoke from the hearth
fire.
Upon a given signal the clerical or
chestra began a noisy overture, the lay
witnesses beating time with their
grand lama opened the book of exor-
cisms and began chanting the forms
From time to time he scattered millet
to the four points of the compass.
Sometimes he would quit the regular
cadence of prayer and indulge In an
outburst of apparently indomitable
rage, abusing the herb image with
fierce invective and furious gestures.
When he had finished he gave signal

burst into a tremendously noisy cho-
rus, setting all the noisy Instruments to
work Mt the same time.
The lay congregation, having started
up, ran out of the tent and three times
circled round it, beating it with sticks
and yelling in the most blood curdling
manner all the while, and then re-en-
tered the tent as precipitately as they
had quilted it. Then, while the others
hid their faces, the grand lama set fire.
to the herb image and carried 1t from
the tent into the plain, where he watch

the tent the other lamas TRANQUILITY
chanted prayers in solemn tone
The expulsion having been thus &C
complished in the finest manner, the
members OF the family secured torches
and, accompanied by the nine IamaG.
all making night hideous with cries and
beating of instruments, escorted the pa
tient to another tent, where abe fell
asleep, to awaken later without h4r

There Are Several That Have the
Food Hiding Instinct.

There Are Several That Have the
Food Hiding Instinct.
/ have sometimes seen n dog bury In
the ground bone for which he did nor
seem to have any present need. have
always understood that he did this on
the principle which actuates O prov
ident man to lay up something for q
rainy day" This may be, though
have never known dog to. dig up the
bone afterward, yet some persons tell
me they have known him to do this.
i should think the dog must be hard
pressed by famine that would attempt
to gnaw bone covered with clay and
dirt, ms this bone must be after being
buried in the ground. If the dog hides
it away through any such provident
forethought as this 1t must be the
slightest remnant, mere adumbration,
OF n former instinct of his race. He
does not pursue this practice In the
steady, methodlcal way in which an
ant or bee or squirrel lays up q
stock OF food against time OF need
With him 1t Is only n fitful and rarc
occurrence. His long domestication
and the ages through which he has re-
ceiyed his food from the hand or his
master have obllterated largely the
sense OF this necessity from his mind,
II he may be supposed to have mind.
The fox when he has had the good
fortune to capture several fowls at the
same time will. 1t Is said, secrete sucn
as he has no present need for under
bush or behind log. i remember that
In Rowland Robinson's pleasant book,
"Sam Loyel's Boy" . young fox Is rep
resented as doing this. He began
burying the leg OF a lamb In the loose
earth. but deslsted when he saw the
eyes Of all his mates were upon him,
then unearthed the half buried treasure
and sought new hiding place." / DO
not understand that the wolf had this
food hiding instinct. Gilbert White OK
Selborne says In his quaint way that
he had "some acquaintance with
tame brown owp' which when full hid,
like dog, what he could not eat.
'srhe origin or most OF our domestic
animals" says. Darwin, "wIll probably
forever remain vague. But l may here
state" he continues, that, looking to
the domestic dogs Of the whole world,
have after laborious collection OF all
known facts come to the conclusion
that several wild species Of canidae
have been tanned and that their blood
In some cases mingled together flows In
the veins of our domestic breeds" He
mentions dog whose great-grandfa-
ther was wolf, and this dog still be-
trayed Its wild ancestry in the fact
that It never approached Its master In
u straight line when called. But which
species OF the canidae from which the
dog may have descended has the food
hiding instinct or habit have nowhere
seen stated.-Forest and Stream.

Is propitious for the returning by those

.cepted service of the summons in the

THE COMPLAINT STATED.
The complaint contains p sections
