tulle in hats and toques continues, and
black is still the favorite color. The

One Of the stocks Of lace and fur

NO EASY MATTER TO SWEEP
Carpets and Rugs May Be Preserved
or Damaged, According to How
II 10 Done,

1t is not an easy matter to sweep
well. When broom is put into the
hands of the inexperienced, more
harm than good generally results from
the use of it.
Light sweeping and soft brooms are
desirable.
Many a carpet is prematurely worn
out by careless sweeping.
In sweeping thick piled carpets al
ways brush the way of the pile.
By doing so it may be keep clean
for years: but II the broom is used
In different way the dust will enter
the carpet and soon destroy it.
Ii the carpet covers the whole floor
OF the room and it is nailed down,
place the chairs and other articles of
furniture which can be easily moved
In the middle of the room, pin up the
curtains and cover the couch with an
old sheet.
Pieces OF damp paper may be
spr;nkied round the sides of the room
and then sweep with a carpet broom
toward one place.
Take short strokes, being careful
not to raise the broom much.
Sweep the corners and edges With
small whisk broom.

This will remove the dust and help

Fruit Measures Gauaed.

An experienced housewife soon
learns to know how many jars Of jam
or quarts of preserve she may expect
from a given quantity Of fresh fruit.
Here is the record of one who knows:
Four quarts of crabapples will make

Six pounds of peaches will make

Four pounds of plums will make five

him for trapping the beasts. eff the
farmers have not already started,

NINT CUSTOMS OF WORLDS QUEER PEOPLE
SNAKE DANCE OF The MOKILNDLANS


religious ceremony, an invocation for
rain which shall keep the springs
alive and which shall induce the
thirsty desert sands to give bounte-
GUS crops of corn, melons and beans.
The ceremony is. very long, taking
all day to perform. Towards the
close of the day the pagan priest
hood takes charge in view of all the
gathered tribe. This is when the
snakes arrive. They have. been cap
tured days before and now lie on the
ground near the priests, all deadly
rattlers.
Each priest must grasp a snake,
and whites who have witnessed the
dance say that they take them in
their arms, seize them by the back of
the neck IN their teeth, all the time
chanting and dancing about.
Finally the snakes are all thrown
into a small magic circle marked out
on the ground where they instantly
become a pyramid of horror. A mo-
mentary pause, then all the dancers
plunge forward, attempting to fill
their arms with as many snakes as
they can grab. a.s
In two or three seconds all the
snakes are OF the ground and the
dancers disappear with them in the
darkness. Before their return they
have set the snakes at liberty, and
that ends the ceremony.
All this time not dancer has been
bitten, it is claimed. Trustworthy
white witnesses have seen the rat
tiers draw blood from Mok arms,
but never death has resulted. Scien-
tific observers have captured snakes
after their release by the priests and
have found the fangs intact, the sacs
filed with poison.
What is the secret? Nobody
knows. 80

altar. The soft gleam of many candles
shed its radiance over the scene.
The bride is fair and lovely in face and

disposition. She has gone almost from
her graduation where she received her
B. A at Randolph Macon Woman's col

time. Miss Douglass finished stnoo last
year in Nashville, where her singing in
her final recital at Ward received nat
tering encomiums from the press in that
city. After spending a part of the sum-
mer here with her mother, she sailed for
Europe to spend several months in travel
before entering upon her musical studies
In Paris she studied for several months
with one of the best known masters, and
to group of musical people who heard
her sing this week, her vocal organ was
easily seen to have developed splendidly
while her manner of singing and her per-
sonal charm showed all the good effect
to be obtained from travel and expert
ence.
About 30 of Miss Douglass friends in the
musical set had the privilege of hearing
her in a small drawing room recital, and
were delighted with her voice. 1t is a so
prano voice of exceptional sweetness and
purity musician present stated that
he has never heard the soprano selections
from Madame Butterfly" given more ex-
quisitely.
Miss Douglass is singing this summer at
the Church of the Advent and will be
heard this morning in a solo from "Crea
ton" She will leave July Is for New
York, with her mother, Mrs. Alice Doug
lass, to remain several weeks, and in the
fall she plans to return to Paris to con-
tinue her study.
Mrs Caroline Cole was one of the lead
ing characters at the Gadsden musical
festival last week, and received decided
ovation The press of that city was gem
erous in its compliment The Gadsden
Times News says
Special. interest conferred in the APP
pearance of Mrs. Caroline Lum Cole, So
prano who completely charmed the entire
house. Her numbers We're rendered in fin
ished style and she sung with perfect
ease and confidence. Her voice Is charac-
terized by such purity and sweetness
that one instantly realized the high order
OF her musical attachments. The aria
from Traviata was exceptionally well rem
dered but the Ave Maria by Gounod was
faultless.'
The Gadsden Times gives this opinion:
Mrs. Caroline I.um Cole of Birming-
ham, in her rendition of Ave Maria,
captivated the audience. She has beau
tiful, rich voice and her singing Is ar
tistic and cultured and her manner
charming.
