A PAGAN SURVIVAL.

There is little doubt that the custom of lighting fires on midsummer eve is of eastern origin Those who watch the Irish peasants, driving their cattle between two blazing piles, or see the young men leaping over the glowing embers, as the bonfires sink lower and the brief darkness of the midsummer night gives place to the rose flush of dawn, can hardly fail to be reminded of that passing through the fire to Moloch, so strictly forbidden to the Hebrews Whose families pass solem- nly between two fires, or spring back ward and forward over the flames.
 True the simple country folk imagine they are performing these mystic rites in honor of St. John the Baptist, for early missioners, finding it impossible to prevent their converts keeping the pagan festivals, transferred them to the saines, and midsummer was assigned to St. John-"the light to tighten the Gen. tile" "--instead of to Baldur or Baal, and the bonfires were called "Teine blleil Elon" (Johus fires).
 Some say that the fires were trans ferred from May dey or "Beltane''-an- other important festival held by the Irish, Scotch and British Celts in honor of Baal, or Belus-to midsummer; oth- CTS, with more probability, assert that the two festivals were quite distinct However this may be, May Day is still called ssBealtine' or "Beltane'' in both Ireland and Scotland.
 Sometimes bone is laid in the hear of the blaze-doubtless it represents the original human sacrifice; in fact, some derive the word bonfire from this practice; others say it is not bone, but boon, bene, or the French bon, because great virtues were accredited to the midsummer fires. In the west of Eng. land, where they fingered till recently they were known as "blessing fires, and in almost every part of Europe they were supposed to bring good luck an abundant harvast and freedom iron disease both to man and beast-an ides which is not yet extinct in Ireland.- Longman's Magazine.

TEA POWDER

History tells us that when coffee was first brought to the cities of western Europe the first makers, of it were turks, They roasted and ground the berries and served the liquor, as 1t Is served to this day In the East, grits and all. We still drink coffee as we drank 1t. then, with this difference, that we mostly omit the grits and drink an infusion instead Of a deeoction. It was not so with tea. No Chinaman was imported with the first pound ftea to teach us how to make and drink 1t, The consequence has been that we have never drunk tea in the Chinese way that is, as simple infusion.
 At first there seems to have been great doubt; to how to deal with the new herb. It is even said that it was sometimes boiled, with salt and butter, and served qp as sort of spinach. The old phrase "a dish of tea,'' seems to bear out this legend. Finally it came to be settled that the most whole some and pleasant way to treat the tea leaf was to make 1t into a kind of sweet soup, with sugar and milk or cream. I have personal knowledge of no country ill Europe but one where tea Is used in China-Portugal, which got its knowl- edge of teanlaking from a province of China, with which, at that time, no other nation of Europe was in contact. It was while travelling on horseback with guide in the wilder parts of
 Portugal, away from shops and inns, where we had perforce to make ex- periments in the most economical use of the few ounces of tea and coffee that
 we could afford to carry with us, that
 we hit upon discovery. Having nc l milk, we drank our tea, as most
 Pcrtugusc crink theirs, as simple in.
 fusion, sweetened with sugar.
 remembered to have read. I believe
 in the travels of the Abbe Hue, tha Iwhen the Chinese desire to be thrifty
 in the use of the finer and more ex, lpensive teas, they grind the leaf tC Ipowder and use less for the infusion. We found that tea could be ground II a coffee mill as easily as coffee; that
 tea made with the powder is as goot as or better than when made with tn,
 whole leaf, and that the powder, as i Inaturally would, goes further than tht tea leaf.-London Times.

PUT UP A BRAVE DEFENCE

Six Men, Surrounded by Nearly Two
 Hundred Indians, Hold Out Until
 Help Comes.
 A detachment of six men were carry ing dispatches from a command near Red River to Camp Supply. Of the six two were scouts, Amos Chapman and William Dixon. The others were cavalrymen. Far from any refuge, they were surrounded by nearly two hundred Indians. They sought shell ter in a buffalo wallow and prepared to hold their ground. The attack came at o'clock in the morning, and the long, long day stretched before them. In the first rush for these six men were wounded. Private mortally. The other hurts were severe. ~es ..<.:..
 They were kemmed in on all sides in an open plain, and were outnumbered almost twenty to one. One of the scouts. while a severe fire was being poured in at them at close range, suc- ceeded in throwing up scanty in renehment with his bowie knife and his bare hands. His comrades held the Kiowas and Comanches off until this little help was ready as a refuge and they moved into the trench, the wound- ed walking with brave and painful effort. -... .... .....-s.< ....- .....s..z Although Private Smith was wounded unto death, he sat upright in the trench to conceal his crippled condition from the foe. From early morning until night this handful of five men was un- der an almost constant fire, often at such. short range that they could bring their pistols into play. Thus they fought for their own lives and de- fendsd their dying conrade, without food and for drink only a little muddy rain water with their own blood. They killed more than a dozen Indians and wounded al out a score. <.
 Relief came that night, but it was ' thirty-six hours after the first attack l before medical aid and food could be given them at the nearest post. Pri- vata Smith died before camp was reached. Every. man was wounded Scout Chapman severely and Scout Dixon several times, but not danger. ously. This band of four soldiers and two scouts were of those who had beer lighting and marching for weeks amid the most dreadful privations. They were worn to. skin and bone, but theil
 souls were as "big as all outdors" ant
 they flinched at no odds under heaven Andby such men as these was this na' tion made.-Outing.

 When Old Crow, chief of the Chey- ennes, heard of the sale, he was broken hearted and immediately set out to get it back, but he was too late-the robe had been forwarded to the east by ex- press.

Why is the Steinenone. PianOfOrte Better than. any Other on he. Market?

q The advantage In purchasing a stein- ertone pianoforte does not lie only in the simple fact that 1t contains every thing that IS found in the most per feet pianofortes or in the standard makes, but 1t represents a new era in pianoforte building and brings the pianoforte up. to state of perfection hitherto not represented in all other first class pianos.
 Among the many qualities 1t posses ses the most essential are that 1t con- tains. 44
 Powerful Tone Capacities,
 Marvellous Tone COIoring,
 Unrivaled Repetition of Action,
 Ease of Touch, Delightful Feeling Upon the Key board. And, 1t is, in fact, the pianoforte of the twentieth century.
 These are reasons enough for any purchaser to choose the Steinertone pianoforte, not only because it is su- perfor to all others, but 1t is also sold at the lowest factory prices.
 A large assortment of grands of all sizes and upright pianofortes can bs seen at the factory warerooms. 106 Park street.
