"GRIzzLY BEAR OLD GREEK
French Historian Derives 1t From
an Ancient Sacrificial Dance
Performed In Athens.

Paris.-Much attention Is being
given to remarkable article by Leon
La Fargo, the historian, tracing the
descent of the grizzly bear" dance
from an ancient Greek bear dance"
solemnly performed in Athens every
FIVE years. 1t is said to have come
originally from the city Of Brauron,
one of the twelve towns of the Ionian
Confederation, and to have been in
stituted in honor of the goddess
Artemis to appease her wrath on
account Of pet she-bear of hers,
which was accidentally killed by a
young girl devotee.
The dance was performed In the
spring by the young girls Of Athens,
dressed In saffron robes and carrying
palm branches, who on the appointed
day mounted the Acropolis. followed
Dy their parents leading goats for the
sacrifice There, to the sound OF
sacred hymns the girls. some times
disguised as bears, danced around the
Image of the goddess, Initiating the
steps and movements of the sacred
she-bear-dancing the grizzly bear,
in fact. This discovery of the illus
trious lineage of a dance thought to
be OF American origin, is causing peo-
pie to regard 1t with increased respect
and interest It is now hoped that
records of the turkey trot may be
found in Egyptian inscriptions, or of

NEW IDEA OF FAMOUS STATUE
Surely the Most Original of All Put
Forward Concerning the Venus
De Medici.

Aunt Judy had been brought up
from the plantation on the coast for a
visit to the "big family" house in Sa-
vannah. There she learned, to her in
dignant and outspoken disapproval,
that one of her granddaughters, whom
she had never seen, had been allowed
to go north to study for the operate
stage. Aunt Judy had once been a
spectator of as much of musical
comedy as one could see between the
time of the curtain rising upon a
ballet and chorus and the time of
Judy's outraged exit from the theater.
To the old woman the expedition of
the mistress granddaughter was much
as if the girl had elected to go off in
the company of Satan. Caligula and
Henry VIII.
Also, there was a marble Venus de
Medici in one corner of the drawing
room of the "big family" house. Judy
had her own ideas about this statue,
too.

confidence to a friend of the family,

START or POSTAL SERVICE
First Attempt at System BEGAN Ii
England as Far Back as
the Year 1875.

How many of US know that the
post Office began to exist in the year
1885! Special messengers and the
common carrier were till then the
only means OF communications
After that date horse post car
ried letters along the great roads into
the different parts of England, those
who lived near these roads hurrying
out at the sound OF the postman' g
horn And the remote byways were
not neglected.
III one desired to send a letter to
some remote town in Yorkshire, one
went to Ludgate, then to the Bell Sow
age In, close by. and there intrusted
1t to the carrier for the country In
question. The messenger from Lon
don would not penetrate into byways.
Each country had It's system of foot
posts, which linked the outlying dis
tricts with its chief towns and with
the great high roads. The London
courier. pressing on to his terminus,
was relieved of packets for remote
regions by the local postman, who,
In turn, passed them on from hand to
hand to their destination. In some
what similar fashion, though less reg
ularly and smoothly, letters inland
were carried over the long and tedi-
GUS journey to the hands for which
they were laboriously indited.

INSECTS HAVE NO H0STRILS
Nature Seemingly Concluded Small
Creatures Could Get Along With
out That Convenience.


All insects need air, even those that
live in water, but no insect has nos
trils, or any opening In the head
through which 1t breaths Instead.
there Is row of small openings
called spiracIes, down each side of Its
body. one on each segment, begin
ming with the second or third of the
thorax or chest. and extending back
to the tip of the abdomen. The spira-
cles open into two air-tubes that ex-
tend the length OF the insect, one on
each side, just within the wall of the
body. These tubes are connected In
the thorax by two cross-tubes, and
from them smaller tubes diverge.
These, IN turn, divide and redivide,
growing constantly smaller, until the
finest tubes permeate every part of
the insect, even the tops of the arten-
nae and the joints OF the feet. The
tubes are known as tracheae, and
serve the same purpose that the lungs
serve in the vertebrates; to carry
outer openings or spiracles, are pro-
tected In various Ways-as for exam
pie, by circlet of hairs-in order
to prevent the admission of anything
except air. II they become clogged
by any such substances as oil or
grease the insect suffocates. The
humming of gnats, the buzzing of
flies, and similar sounds, are produced
by the vibration of the air in the
spiracles and treachae.-Youth's Com
panion.

NAMES THAT REALLY SUITED
Child Found No Trick at All to Alter

Two Pets.

When little Dorothy's papa's friend
presented to little Dorothy, on her
birthday, two tiny, aristocratic, white,
fluffy balls of angora kittens, she
named them on the spot Duke and
Duchess. Time passed and the kit
tens grew into cats and then there
came an event. Duke became the
mother of four new kittens.
"This will never do, my DEAR" said
little Dorothy's mamma. "You must
find other names for your cats. What
will you call them?"
Little Dorothy did not answer at
once. Instead she pondered over the
matter all day Just before bedtime
she went to her mother with the air OF
one whose mind has been relieved OF
a great weight.
Il know what I'll call them.

Biuaest Pair of Tusks.

In the stables of the royal palace at
Mandalay, in Burmah, there may be
seen an elephant with a remarkable
pair of tusks, which the Burmese de-
clare are the largest in the world. says
the Wide World Magazine. These gi-
gantic tusks measure as much as
seven feet nine hesses On the outside
curve. with ii greatest circumference
Of no less than teen inches.

Is that they virtually touch the ground
and almost meet. Apparently. how
ever their owner experiences no in

phant has naturally attracted wide at

the tusks when the animal should see

|5IORY or FISHERIES
Industry on Newfoundland Banks
400 Years Old.
Men Do Not Work for Wages, But for
Share of catch-24o Vessels and
$3.50 People Engaged in the
Business in 1912.

New York-Two tent consular
reports from st. Pie call attention
to the many interesting and unique
features OF the French fisheries on
the Newfoundland banks. This in
dustry Is more than 400 years old,
and has changed but little with the
progress OF the centuries. The only
important innovation was the substi-
tuition of light dories for the clumsy
"chaloupes'' in use prior to 1865. 1t
is true that within the past five years
the steam trawIer has appeared as
rival, but not yet a dangerous rival
of the brig and schooner.
In 1912, 240 vessels and 6,83S men
engaged in the Banks fisheries con-
stituted what is known as the met
ropolitan'' feet, /. e., vessels fitted
out in Normandy and Brittany. These
vessels leave France in late March or
early April and require from IA TO 40
days for the passage, according to
wind and weather. The voyage is
perilous, for the craft are very small
and the methods of navigation are OF
the simplest The masters of these
vessels take observations for latitude,
but have no chronometers and cannot
determine their longitude with any
accuracy On the outward journey
they can tell roughly from soundings
when they have arrived at the Banks;
returning they can estimate their po-
sition when they cross the steamer
lanes converging toward the English
channel.
Besides the metropolitan fleet, a
certain number of vessels Gao in 1922
are fitted out In the colony of ST.
Pierre and Miquelon and manned
with Normans and Bretons, who come
out In the spring on steamer char
tered for the purpose and return to
France at the end of the season. For
merly these men made the journey in
sailing vessels, which were often dan
gerously crowded. The combined
feet in 1912 numbered $500 fisher
men.
The fishermen do not work for
wages, but for a share in the catch.

Test of Sanity.

'rhe ability to remain both sober
and gracious under high reward or
great responsibility is quality that
we greatly admire in others. To re-
tain simple and open mind after do
ing something that is acknowledged to
be of merit is one of the rarest ac-
complishments of sanity. 1t makes
for pleasantness in abundant meas
ure.
Indeed it does more than this, it
makes living possible, paves the way
to success, begets good will, conquers
hatred and uncharitableness short,
it is the substance of comfy, the evi-
dence of grace. and the proof of a
large mind that is sane Atlantic.

Before they leave France they re-
ceive an advance payment, varying
from SIS to $3.50, to be deducted from
their future earnings. If, as not in
frequently happens, mans share at
the end of the season is not sufficient
to cover the amount advanced to him,
the owner of the vessel loses the diff
ference, and the man himself comes
home with empty pockets. The fish
erman's total earnings in seven
months of hard labor and exposure
probably do not average more than
$3.50. Strangely enough, the men ap-
pear to be content with their lot, and
all the reforms that have been ef-
fected toward improving their wages
and the conditions under which they
labor have been initiated by naval Of
