of the tyrant of Ootheboys Hall.
Finding that at the age of 10 years
| had not made much progress in the
proper comprehension of the four
concords in Latin. he determined to
give me a good birching. He was a
most practised hand with the rod, and
was never satisfied with a birch less
than four or five feet long, with plen-
ty of small, sharp cones on it. He
never used the same one twice.
"The fiat having gone forth, | was
stripped to my bare back and made to
kneel. The master than inflicted three
strokes as hard as his strong arm en-
abled him to give, causing the blood
to squirt all over my back. Many Of

A Zuni Baby.

The Zuni child spends his early days
in cradle But cradle in Zuniland
does not mean down pillows, silken
coverlets and fluffy laces-it is only
a fiat board, just the length of the
baby, with hood like a dolls buggy
top cover over the head. Upon this
hard bed the baby is bound like a
mummy-the coverings wound round
and round him until the little fellow
cannot move except to open his mouth
and eyes. Sometimes he is unrolled
and looks out into the bare white
washed room, blinks at the fire burn
ing on the hearth, and fixes his eyes
earnestly on the wolf and cougar
skins that serve as beds and chairs
and carpets in the Zuni home. BY the
time he is two of three years old he
has grown into plump little bronze
creature, with the straightest of coarse
black hair and the biggest and round
est of black eyes. He is nDw out of
the cradle and trots about the house
and the village. When the weather
is bad he wears a small coarse shirt
and always a necklace of beads or
turquois.-St. Nicholas.

Cheer in an Irksome Life.

Biddy's mother had seen worse days.
There was a time when the widow and
her two small children did not know
one day where the bread and potatoes
for the next were coming from. Those
were hard times. But now that Den
mis- O'Breen, out of genuine admira-
ton for the widow, had undertaken
to become stepfather to the children,
there was always plenty In the
dark days the only source of fuel was
drift wood from the river, and coal
picked up along the railroad tracks.
There was no need now to forage for
coal. Still, the habit of economy or
thrift chung to Biddy's mother and
Dennis had never yet had to buy
penny's worth of fuel
Biddy inherited all her mothers
thrift, and had taken it upon herself
to do the coal gathering. The child
had sweet, rosy face, and many
lump Of coal had CHANGED to roll con-
veniently close to where she stood. as
coal train numbered by. The freight
train men all had a shouting and
waving acquaintance with her.
One day she was coming from the
grocery with bread and crackers and
a half dozen eggs in her apron. Pass
ing near the railroad she crossed over
to see how the coal crop was.
The sight of fine, shiny chunks of it
scattered along the track was too
much for her. Off came her hat and
into it went the groceries. A freight
train stood on siding, and by stand
ing on tiptoe Biddy could just place
her hat safely on the floor of an open
car.
Then she scampered along the track
and soon had a good load of coal in
her apron. But think of her dismaye
on looking up to see that the freight
train was moving off. She ran back
toward the car, but the faster she ran
ed and waved back. They supposed
Biddy was merely greeting them, as
usual.
But Biddy was brokenhearted. In
her wild race to stop the train and
save her hat she even dropped the
coal.
When big-hearted Dennis came
home and heard the pitiful story he
kissed Biddy and told her she need
ed new hat anyway. He told her,
too, that she should never pick up
coal any more
Somewhere along the railroad line
somebody found small girls hat, full
of bread and crackers and eggs, and
is guessing to this day where it all
came from.-Indianapolis News.

It sometimes requires higher degree

Lucky Find of Chopln's Music.

The twentieth Nocturno of Chopin
was lately discovered by the merest
accident, and it is said to be finer
than all the known pieces of that COM
poser. Jacob Tobanja, well known
Venetian, travelling in Switzerland,
bought of music dealer a volume of
musical compositions in manuscript.
The dealer had no idea of it's origin
and Tobanja was only interested in
the curious handwriting. Coming
home, he examined the quarto, and a
couple of pages that had been folded
up attracted his attention. With the
aid of magnifying glass he decipher-
ed the signature and title ''Nocturno

Careful Cavalry Horses.

An old cavalryman says that horse
will never step on man Intentionally.
1t is standing order with cavalry
that should a man become dismounted,
he must lie down and be perfectly
still. If he does so, the entire COM
pany will pass over him and he will
not be injured. A horse notices where
he is going, and is on the lookout for
a firm foundation to put his foot on
1t is an instinct with him, therefore,
to step over a PROSTATE man. The
injuries caused by a runaway horse
are nearly always inflicted by the ami
stepping on persons.-Indianapo

DEATH DANCES.


A new volume of reports OF the
Cambridge Anthropoiogical Expedl-l
ton to Torres Straits has recently
been published by the Cambridge
University Press, and It contains
much information as to the sociology.
magic, and religion Of the natives OF
the western islands. The account OF
funeral ceremonies given by Profess
sor A. c. Haddon, who was the leader
of the expedition, is of exceptional Ia
terest.
1t appears that from time to time
death dance is held m which the per-
formers represent the ghosts Of re-
Gently deceased natives. The men
paint themselves with charcoal and
wear a curious dress of cocoa-nut
leaves and feathers. Each perform
err has mask and holds in his mouth
q crescent-shaped ornament, which is
a decorative sign of Kwolam-the
mythical hero of the islands-whose
exploits are the subjects of many le-
gends which have converted the war
rior into a god.
During the funeral ceremony the
dancers give pantomimic representa-
lions of characteristic traits Of the
deceased natives In whose memory
the dance is held. The object Is EVIL
IDENTIFY to convey to the mourners the
assurance that the ghost is alive, and
that in the person Of the dancer he Is
visiting friends. The women and
children are supposed to believe that
the performers are really spirits; and
II woman is known to have discov-
cred the identity of any of the dane
ers, it is significantly remarked that
'She dies th at night"
The dance Is thus of the nature OF
hero-wor5hip, which Is the only form
of religion the natives seem to pos
sess for Professor Haddon says at
the end OF his volume of reports:
Unless the aforementioned heroes
be regarded as gods, I think it can
be definitely stated that the western
islanders had no deities, and certain
ly they had no conception of a SUI
preme God" Higher conceptions are,
however, gradually entering the
minds of the islanders as the result OF
missionary instruction, and in anoth-
er generation or SO the death dance
will probably be forgotten.-Leisure

to change the number of the principal

of dollars, which are cashed at the
next window, have passed through II
every business day for great many
years.

was spoken to about 1t, and the hoodoo
