Some Queer Dancers.

Far down in Africa. the other side
of the equator. live the jolly Aponos
They are an honest. light headed set
Of savages. who for several months OF
the year do nothing but dance, sing and
drink palm wine. When the season Is
over they settle down to their ordinary
pursuits They have many dances
which would seem strange to an Amer
lean girl or boy. but the weirtleSt dance
of all Is performed upon stills, and is
called ocuya or giant dance. The ocuya
is an object made of wicker work with
an enormous head OF wood. There is
no word hideous enough to describe the
uclinesS Of this ocuya. 1t has out
stretched wooden arms and monkey
skins form the hair and beard. while !,
long skirt of grass cloth hides the still
walker. who places this grotesque mon
ster over himself The arms are kept
outstretched. and thus costumed the
dance proceeds. sometimes hundreds of
the Aponos taking part in it at once.

Rover is a red setter. and he usually
lies on the front porch. He does not
like other dogs. and if they stop at the
gate or poke their noses through the
fence Rover runs down and banks
fiercely at them.
One day Philip was looking out of
the window. and he saw n very small
black dog crawl under the gate. Rover
was on the porch. and lifted his head,
but did not even growl as the little dog
trotted up the path. The little dog
went directly past Rover. and came up
TO the window where Philip stood, and
put his little paws up against the glass
and whined.
20 mama called Philip, come and
see this little black dog"
Mama came and looked out. I'VE

shooed the little dog off the porch and
out of the yard. Rover did not growl
He looked quite Indifferent and as IL IT

When Philip went into the back yard
TO play that afternoon he found the lit
tie black dog was there, and sharing
Royer's dinner. Rover did not seem to
take any notice OF the strange little
dog. Philip drove the little dog out
Of the back yard. and Rover went back
to the front porch.

result of her examination. she returned,
and took Fanny Harrod by the hand,
and led her from the lodge.
The parties stood in the open air. and
beneath the light of an unclouded moon.
The face of Miss Harrod was deadly
pale; her limbs trcmbled with agitation.
and her heart beat fast with expecta ton
and fear. She turned her marble visa sc
toward Starlight, or threw wild and
wondering glances at Rosalthe.
The Cherokee girl paused but A mo-
ment, and then moved away from the
spot, supporting the trembling form of
Fanny Harrod. They had proceeded per-

figure darkened their path and the face
of Otter-Lifter was looking calmly upon
them. Miss Harrod uttered faint cry,
and fell faintinY into the arms of Star

they touched their beard and hair. and
women placed the finger tips Of the

Servants were obliged to have their
hair cut and If n freedman went into
slavery he had to dlvest himself OF his

by foster parents was obliged to have
his beard shaved, and the shaving Of
beard and hair was a punishment in

of our ancestors dealt with punishment
by skin and hair" for small OffenseS
and by neck and hand" for greater
crimes.

In Difference to a superstition which
has prevailed for many years, there
was on June l a complete cessation Of
work at Lord Penrhyn's slate quarries

owes its origin to a succession of fatal

in inducing the workmen to remain at
