WORSHIP OF SPRINGS.

How 1t Prevailed Among Early Peo.
pies In the Southwest.
Springs are rarely found in the south
western part of the United States, and
for this reason they have been from
ancient times priced as most valued
possession. The people who dwelt in
this region, says Walter Hough in
"Records of the Past" saw in these
sources Of life giving water the founts
Of continuance and we'll being, and
near them they located their pueblos.
Save air, no elements of nature are
nearer to human life than those COM
bined into the primitive fluid which
must always be within reach Of men
who put themselves into the grasp Of
the desert. The primary knowledge Of
the tribes who were the pioneers and
of every human being who has since
made his home in the great American
desert was complete as to the location
distribution and idosyncrasies Of thu
water supply.
Spring water is naturally more priced
by the inhabitants of those desert soil
tudes than that from living streams,
because it is always drinkable and al
ways at hand, while the watercourses,
which for the greater part Of the year
are sinuous reaches Of dry sand, furnish
at food a quickly disappearing supply
of thinned mud which will not be touch
ed by man or beast except In the dis
tress Of thirst.
One is not surprised, therefore, that
a primitive people will regard these
springs as sacred. In fact, the Indians
of the southwest are not peculiar In the
worship of springs. The sentiment Ia
worldwide, has had vast range Of
time, perpetuates itself in the folklore
Of the highest civilizations and presents
in its manifestations most interesting
body Of myth and fancy. But in the
southwest the arid environment has SO
intensified this feature Of primitive cul-
ture that no spring in the region Is
without evidence Of many offerings to
the deities Of water.
1t is small wonder then that the Pu-
eblo Indians came to regard springs
with special veneratlon; that they wove
around them myth and tradition and
made them objects Of religious worship.
To one acquainted with the environ
ment and it's radical needs this seems
to have been a natural. even though
unconscious, generalization. Perhaps
offerings to springs will not admit OF
such simple explanation. Perhaps the
mystery Of the underground source OF
water yelling up from Unknown
depths, impressive always even to the
observer who believes himself free from
the trammels of superstition, has also
had a powerful effect on the mind OF
the Indian, leading, like many other
natural phenomena, to an attitude OF
worship Of unseen powers behind these
masks.-New York Tribune.

If you drive through a Russian VIII
lage about 10 p. m. you will be struck
by the absolute quiet that pervades
the scene. Not creature. man or dog,
is visible moving about. The place has
the air Of deserted village. Suppose
by some rare untoward chance you
come upon a group of men standing
together, apparently In conversation.
you will notice that they speak in SUBJ
dued tones. and, wait SO long as you
please, you will never hear them
laugh. The cause Is simply this: These
Russian peasants believe in evil spir-
its; but, unlike the Chinese, they be-
lieve that they are attracted, not
frightened, by sounds. And SO IL some
unlucky fate decree that the moujik be
out Of doors. after IL p. III. he is pain

Tn. Art Of IaIfng.

Cultivate the art Of idliug. There Is
no doubt that to be able to idle at will
is most valuable gift and one which
Is becoming rarer every day. The art
Of loafing Is not properly understood
by the majority of. people. Much has
been written on the subject. Steven
son dealt with it in an essay; Mr..
Kenneth Grahame touched on 1t in
Pagan Papers," and Mr.. Barry Pain
has some Illuminating remarks on the
subject in his Canadian canoe book.
There is a subtle difference between
the views Of these expsrts. Mr.. Ora
hame advocated absolute idleness.
Mr.. Pain pointed out, with more truth,
that the great art Of loaf1ag was TO do
the easiest thing. and that sometimes it
Is easier to work than to be idle. This
is the secret of the whole matter. The
superficial idler thinks 1t his duty to
be idle ca every occasion. The man
who has studied the subject knows
that this is an entirely erroneous
view. There are times when we feel
that we must be up and doing. II we
sternly repress this inclination our
peace 10 disturbed. The really scien-
tiflc idler is the man who can idle at
will.-London Chronicle.

A PEsTIFERoUs GERM.

Burrows Up the Scalp Into Dandruff
and Saps the Hairs Vitality.
People who complain of falling hair
as rule do not know that it Is the
result Of dandruff, which is caused by
a pestifero1s parasite burrowing up
the scalp as it. digs down to the sheath
in which the hair Is fed in the scalp.
Before long the hair root is shriveled
UP and the hair drops out. If the work
of the germ is not destroyed hair
keeps thinning till badness comes.
The only way to cure dandruff is to
kill the germ, and until now there has
been no hair preparation that would
dc. it; but today dandruff is easily
eradicated by Newbro's Herpicide
which makes hair glossy and soft as
silk. For sale by w. A. DlAlemberte

Putting Out a Fire.

When trying to put out fire re-
member that one gallon Of water at
the bottom of the blaze will do more
to put it out than ten gallons at the
top. PLAY low" is the motto to follow
while fighting fire. A few gallons at
the bottom Of the flames will rise in
clouds Of steam when the fire is rising
and quench it. A big blaze on the lee
ward side looks fearful, but play low
with the water on the bottom Of the
fire on the windward side and you
have the speediest way to Quench the
oames and will not require a river.

HONORS AND WORTH.
Absurdity Of Titles That Descend
From Father to Son.

From Father to Son.
When you find a man most excel
lent runner, poet, surgeon or mariner,
you give him due respect for his skill.
If he is very eminent, his occupation
esteemed and you chance to be some
ruling power, he may receive a title.
You do not confer this title because
of his grandmother, and you do not
make the old lady a duchess or indeed
pay her any particular attention. This
omission does not reflect discredit on
the grandmother. 1t is obvious to her
mind that to make her .peeress, be-
cause not she, but some one else, has
done something good" would be as
absurd as giving her twelve months
hard labor II he had done something
otherwise.
Still less rational would It be to make
the mans son a peer. The Bid lady
has given the world this grandson
Perhaps she is in measure the cause
Of his greatness, just as she might be
to a certain extent responsible were
he criminal. But the son ofsthe man
did not make bis father. He lis not to
be more greatly praised for what his
father has done than for what William
the Conqueror did.
The world seldom or never gives a
man a title because his father earned
one, but it does an equally silly thing
when It allows a son to inherit such an
Honor" says Home Notes.
Until a man can transmit merit IT Is
absurd to allow him to transmit a tes-
timonial as to merit. And, II there be
no pretense Of claim to exceptional
worth, what solid reason can be adj
vanced for a man receiving a designa-
don that commands Difference?

The Orange Tree.

The orange is the longest lived fruit
tree. 1t begins to bear the third year
after budding. and for 100 years it will
yield abundant crops. Orange trees
have been known to attain the ripe
age of 300. The orange requires less
care and attention thansany other fruit
tree. Its early growth is rapid. In the
first two years 1t grows more than it
will In the next nfty..s This refers of
course to it's height and breadth alone
its fruit stems and consequently Its
crops increase more rapidly after the
first ten years.
