GIBSON PICTURE FAD
SEXES. COLLECTORS
Takes Place of Post Card Craze
With the Young
Women.

The Gibson picture habit has been ef-
fectually fastened on big proportion of
the reading population of this section by
the publication by the Sunday North
American of ten of the latest of this
great American artists pictures as art
supplements. 1t has started the Gibson
collection fad. and this promises to last
until the last of the pictures are out.
There was time when the Gibson girl
was the idol of the young woman. Now
the Gibson art supplement gives every
body an opportunity to collect the artist s
works. and there will be few homes that
will not have a good representation with
in the next few weeks.
For the time being the collection of
Gibson drawings has taken the place of
the collection of post cards in Philadel-
phia. and the fad is certain to spread to
all of the towns where the pictures are
made so easily obtainable.
The picture which The North American
is to issue next Sunday is "A Castle in
the Air" 1t is one of the most forceful
of Gibson's works. and teaches a broad
moral lesson to young people and old
alike.

ST. SWlTHlN AND RAIN.
The Legend or the Chapel Over the
Dishop's Graye,

uruNe.
The superstitions referring to par
tlcular days are very numerous. The
legend of st. Swithin Is an example
that will occur to every one:
St. Swithin's day. If thou dost rain,
For forty days it will remain;
st. Swithin's day, If thou be tair,
For forty days twill rain nae mair.
st. Swithin, bishop of Winchester, ac-
rording to the author of "The Popular
Antiquities" was "a man equally not
ed for uprightness and humility. So
far did he carry the latter virtue that
on his deathbed lie requested to be
buried not within the church, but out
side the churchyard on the north of the
sacred building, where his corpse might
receive the eavesdroppings from the
roof and his grave be trodden by the
feet Of passersby. His lowiy request
was complied with, and in this neglect
ed spot his remains rcposed till about
100 years afterward, when a fit of
pious Indignation seized the clergy at
the fact that the body of so holy a
member of their order was allowed to
occupy such Il position, and on an ap-
pointed day they all assembled to con-
vey it with great pomp to the adjoin-
Ing cathedral of Winchester. When
they were about to commence the cere
mony heavy rain burst forth and con-
tinued without intermisson for the
forty succeeding days. The monks in
terpreted this tempest as warning
from heaven Of the blasphemous nature
of their attempt to contravene the d.
rection of st. Swithin, and instead Of
disturbing his remains they erected a
chapel over his grave" "St. Swithin is
christening the apples" is the more po-
etical way of describing st. Swithin's
rain

A Trivial Matter.

The first slice of goose had been cut,
and the minister of the Zion church
looked at 1t with as keen anticipation
as was displayed in the faces around
him.
Oats as fine goose rs l ever saw"

Where did you get such fine one?"
well, now, Mistah Rawley," said
the carver of the goose, with a sudden
access Of dignity. when you preach a

where you got 1t. Seems to me dat's

The reason he was shipped back was
that he lacked the necessary SO

without it he is liable to become a

MARCH is here, but that is no
indication that the winter is over.
Since the first of the spring months
has come in, Kansas, Nebraska, Col
orado and some of the adjacent States
have been undergoing full mid winter
experiences. Blizzards, severe snow
storms, accompanied with high winds,
have swept down upon them, and
they are in the grip of a season of
most inclement weather. What has
been occurring there may occur here
also. Therefore, while neither SHOWS
nor severe storms have visited us since
the incoming of March, we need not
be surprised if we should still have to
meet them before spring comes along
for good.

THE GIANT INDIANS.
Peculiar Ways of the Onns of TERRA
del FuegO.

The Onas, tribe of Indians inhabit-
Ing the mainland of the TERRA del Flu
ego island, are physical giants. Their
average height is over six feet A few
are six and one-half feet; few fall be-
low six feet. The women are more cor
pulent and not so tall. There Is no
race in the world with more perfect
physical development than the Ona In.
dians. This is partly due to the topos.
raphy of the country and the distribu-
tion of the game, which makes long
marches across the country n necessity.
In mentality they fall far below their
physical attainments. In the past their
supply of game has been plentiful, and
this may account for the lack of in
ventive genius among them. This lack
of progressive skill is portrayed in their
home life. clothing and homes. Their
children suffer from it, for, contrary to
the practice common among most In
dians of feeding, dressing and training
the children well, the Onas' little ones
are mostly naked, poorly fed and alto
gether neglected. They have abundant
material for supplying themselves with
clothing and homes, and yet they throw
a few branches together, put skins over
the windward side and then shiver un-
der the miserable shelter.
Scientists who have made a study of
the subject say that the language Of
the Onas is the strangest ever listened
TO. Many of the words are not difficult
to pronounce, nor is the construction
of the sentences difficult, but very few
words are interrupted by a sound
which it is impossible to produce. The
speaker hacks, coughs and grunts, dis
torting his face in the most inhuman
manner, and then passes on to the next
stumbling block The Onas live princi-
pally upon meat, which in former years
was obtained from the guanaco.-New
York Herald.

WHIPS OF FLAME,
Picturesque and PuzzIIng Fire Dance
of The Indians.

Picturesque and PuzzlIng Fire Dance
of The Indians.
Mysterious are many of the ways of
the red man. DR.. Matthews of Wash
ington gave an interesting account of
fire dance which he was fortunate
enough to witness in the far west. The
spectators were seated about large
open space. In the center of which burn
ed ruddy fire.
Suddenly sounded loud blowing Of
buffalo horns, mingled with strange
cry like the call of n sand hill crane.
Nearer and nearer 1t came, and then
there bounded into the circle ten men,
naked to the waist and bearing long
bundles of shredded cedar bark.
Round and round the fire danced the
little procession. chanting and waving
the flexible fagots. After some time
The leader abruptly stopped and lighted
his fagot Of bark. The others followed
his example.
Now began Il wild race At first the
Indians kept close, splitting upon each
others back n substance supposed TO
have medicinal virtue. Soon they ran
without concert, the long, brilliant
streamers of flame flarlng behind them.
AS they sped over the ground round
the circle they applied the fiery brands
to the bodies of themselves and COM
radcs. Not man turned as the Wig
orous, burning blows descended on his
naked back. Sometimes they would
seize the brand In their hands and rub
1t over their flesh as IL it were
sponge and they were giving them
selves a bath of flames. On they
danced and whipped and rubbed until
NIL seemed a dazzling ring of fire to the
onlookers.
And were there sore and bllstered
backs the next day under the careless
ly worn blankets? Apparently not, for
DIR. Matthews saw and talked with the
dctors directly after the dance, and
they seemed to experience no discom-
fort.
His explanation of the secret does not
include the mysterious compound which
the Indians spat upon each other. That, |
he thinks. was probably of no value.
But cedar bark ignites at low tenn.
perature, and the white earth with |
which the men were thickly coated was
an excellent nconductor.-Youth's |

IT was well pleased audience
that hearkened unto Rev. Houston,
the blind evangelist, in the Y. NJ. c.
A. hall last Sunday afternoon. The
sermon, on "Trusts," was addressed
to men only, and good house greet
ed him. If there was one man in the
audience who left the room without a
single pang of remorse to his consc-
ence, he must have had u heart of
stone. There was not an argument
omitted as to the trust God has con-
ferred upon man, and there was not
one present that could not feel that
one or more of the trusts in his care
was not betrayed to some extent.
Rev. Houston is forceful and mag.
netic speaker, and his good work at
East End Mission is a blessing to our
little city. The Mission was entirely
too small to hold the large crowds that
sought entrance from evening to even
ing, and many were turned away that
might otherwise have learned suffici.
