Hindoo Dancinn.

Hindoo dancing bears no similarity
to that of the European. Stage acting
in the shape of comedies and tragedies
is hardly TO he found among the Hin
docs. The chief characteristic of their
dancing is their dress, which very
often is horrible and grotesque to look
at. Their dances consist in wrestling,
jumping and moving the shoulders,
head hands. legs, as if agitated by VIC
lent conyulsions, TO the sound Of mu-
sical instruments. a--.-a.- .-..4s....sr
The HindoQ taste for music is so
marked that there is not single gath
ering, however small, which has not
some musicians at its head. The in
struments on which they play are for
the most part clarinets and trumpets:
they have also cymbals and several
kinds of small drums The sounds
produced by these instruments are far
from pleasing and may even appear
hideous TO European ears.
The matuva. or conductor, is the most
remarkable OF all the musicians. In
beating time he taps with his fingers
on narrow drum. As he beats, his
shoulders, head, arms, thighs and, in
fact, all the parts Of his body perform
successive movements, and simultane
ously lie utters inarticulate cries, thus
animating the musicians both by voice
and gesture.

1ore F7IS NeSSel Saled.
In Burnaby's Travels In America
In 1859" book quite popular during
the latter part Of the eighteenth cen
tury, the following incident is related:
The captain of a British man-of-war
cruising off the Massachusetts coast
left his wife in Boston. On one of his
visits to port she came down to the
wharf to meet him. and she was salut-
ed as true and loving sailors wife
deserved. This violation of law was
at once reported, and the captain was
brought before the magistrate and
sentenced TO be publicly whipped.
There was no getting out of it, and
the captain submitted quite gracefully.
Just before the departure of his ship
he gave an elaborate entertainment, to
which all of the magistrates were in
vited. After the festivities were over
and every one had shaken hands with
the captain and was going over the
side the magistrates were seized by
the arm and stripped to the waist.
Each one was led TO the gangway,
where a vigorous boatswain gave him
thirty-nine lashes on the bare back
and then hustled him over into boat
amid the cheers Of the whole ships
company.

Cornmeal as Food.

Cornmca! is one of the most health

fought their wars and tanned the will

they were hardy, heady set, many Of
whose examples we might profitably
follow OF course cornmeal to be per.

the lumber will not be purchased
there, he informs us, if the home
dealers can supply the material for
the new structure at anything like
the price quoted him, which is GER
tainly right. The new opera house
feature will occupy the ground floor,
and will be modern and up-to-date
in all of its appointments, with a seat
ing capacity of between seven fifty

the room, exclusive of the stage, be-
ing 60x80 feet. The present inten-
ton is to put in a sloping floor, ele-
waited at the rear end of the room.
The stage will be large and commo-
dious with six dressing rooms con-
veniently arranged at either side, and
all of the features of city theatre

that the long way of the room will
be north and south instead of east
and west, with dimensions of 45x60
feet. The banquet hall will be of
such capacity as to conveniently
accommodate $50 diners at a sitting
Between the lodge room and banquet
hall will be constructed a row of

The lecture delivered at the Chris

John Paris, from Turkey, under the
auspices of the local churches, was
listened to by a large and attentive
audience. The Turkish gentleman
gave recital of many interesting and
amusing customs of his native coun-
try as well as many sad and heart
rending instances of murder, arson
and pillage of the Armenian chris
tians by the bloody Turks. He is a
teacher in an orphan school, estab-
liShed for the upbringng and educa-
ton of children orphaned by the
many butcheries in the Sick Man S
country, and carries letters of the
highest commentator Something
like $40 were contributed by our citi-
zenS for this orphan school.

Miss Jessie Rowton, who is teach

her work the first of the week after
brief visit at her home here.
County Commissioner Butler was
the recipient of a very substantial
New Years gift-one which he
prizes above all the holiday nick-nacks
in the land. It's a boy.
1t is said that Sheriff-elect Byron
will appoint the present incumbent as

very good sheriff and his appointment
as deputy will meet with general
favor.
Cattle and hogs from the prairie
sections are being shipped from Sites
and Kooskia again in large numbers,
dealers preferring to drive stock to
the Clearwater Line than to ship
over the new prairie road. 1t is said
that the freight rate on the prairie is
S24 per car higher than on this line.
Up there the owners must ship at
their own risk something they won t
stand for-and until such time as
different arrangements are made there
will be very little stock shipped over
the High Line.
The black Percheron horse, which
was sold to local parties about two
years ago by Riley Clemens, died
this week at A. ]. Williams place
on Harris ridge The horse was in
sured for $1,000 by the company that
sold him, the understanding being
that the insurance in case of death
would bind the company to replace
the animal with one equally as good.
Whether the horse will be replaced
or not, there is one thing certain
members of the local company are
not anxious to go against any more
horse deals.

 HE TERRITORY
Will Take to Los Angeles Beautiful Booklet DesCrip-
 tive of Arizona and Cities Where Lodges Are Located

A distinct feature of the visit of the Arizona Elks to Los Angeles in July. thousand strong. will be the beauti- ful industrial float that will head the Arizona section of the grand pa rade for prizes. The floa is designed by MT. l.. G. Knipe of Phoenix, and fac simile drawings of the same have been issued and on all sides it is pronounced a work of are. which will portray to the thousands of visiting Elks in Los Angeles the wonderful resources of this large territory.
 The arrangements committees of the Elks are busy in all portions of the territory, and ther is no longer any doubt but that Arizona will be well represented in Los Angeles.
 In connection with the float which will appear in the parade, typical of the resources and industries of Ari- zona, there is a movement on foot by the Arizona Elks to distribute 50.- 900 booklets about eight and a half by twelve inches in size, and con- taining 100 pages devoted to scenes in Arizona. and especially in those cities where the visiting Arizona Elks come from. These scenes will in- clude the Grand Canyon, mining scenes, business buildings, street scenes, irrigating canals, farming scenes; in all about POO separate and distinct illustrations, interspersed with descriptive matter regarding each city in Arizona which boasts of an Elk lodge.
 The frontsispiece of the booklet will be an exact representation, by means of embossing and color work of the Arizona float on parade day. The committee of Elks having this in charge proposes to see to it that each visiting Elk in Los Angeles from eastern cities and the Pacific coast cities carry home with them a souve- mir of Arizona and Arizona Elks, something that will be prized and kept for the future and will be a last ing advertisement of Arizonas re- sources.
 The intention is to thoroughly ad- vertise Arizona through the EIks throughout the United States and should go a long way toward getting votes for Arizona on the eve of being granted statehood. and attracting to the territory a great deal of atten- ton.
