Miss Georgia Ross closed
very successful term of school at
Fairview on Tuesday, April %.
After very interesting pro
gram consisting of recitations,
dialogues and songs. the patrons
of the school served an excellent
b ket dinner to. all present.
The afternoon sport consisted
of base ball game between River
side and Glencoe; through some
misunderstanding in the manage
ment, three of the best River
side players failed to appear and
rather than disappoint t b e
present, the captain got Foxy
Grandpa and the two little boys
from the kindergar den to fill out
the vacancies in the team, and at
the end of very exciting nine
inning game the score stood 9 to
3 in favor of Riverside. The
Glencoe boys got sore over the
result of the game and because
they couldn't beat the river boys
decided they would whip the um-
pire, but fortunately he escaped
to the tall timber and no one
was injured. Those Glencoe boys
are sure game bunch, but they
can't play ball, and what they
lack in playing they make up in
hot air. We hope they will learn
the game before they try River
side again.

Skins as Bank Notes.

I \ China. the first country to use bank
notes. certain skins were once of such
great value that they were accepted as
cash, passing from hand to hand in the
same way as bank notes of the present
day. The negotia oility of these skins
was established in this way:
The Emperor Gu I'll, being In want of
money. gave his treasurer to understand
that such a state of affairs must not con-
tnue. At that time it was CUSTOMARY
for princes and courtiers Oh entering the
royai presence to cover their faces with
"A piece Of skin. Taking advantage. or
this custom the treasurer procured the
issuance of a decree forbidding the use
of any other skins for this purpose save
those of certain species OF white deer
in the royal parks. Immediately! OF
course there arose a demand for pieces
of these skins. which. being a monopoly,
were sold at "A high price. ---'
Thus were the royal Golfers rehlled.
The steady value of the skins thus OBJ
tanned made them readily a substitute
for coin of the realm.

When the exhibition was over, the men

There was absolutely no sign of burn
or that they had suffered other i'll effect

passed. The soes of their feet were
hard, to be sure, but not more so than
those of the natives of other islands of

the immunity from burns that these ma
tives possess. All attempts to explain the
mystery by scientists have been futile
1t is only necessary for one to actually
witness the performance to be convinced
that no trickery is practiced in carrying
it on.
There are many men upon this island
who can do fire walking. Some of them
have gone to other islands. where they
gave exhibitions with the same success
with which it is done here The cere-
mony is not the same in all localities.

tribes.
According to the story told the writer,
the custom of fire. walking had its origin
in a legend which has been handed down

''I am the seer of the deep sea- was

appear to me to be mighty good ma
terial for feast up here"
oh, spare my life" begged the cap
tive.
I'm sorry. old chap. but there is MOTH
ing to do but cat YOU.
The man of the sea continued to plead
for his life. but his words fell on deaf
ears. Finally he proposed this:
Il have only one request to make OF
you. and that is that you bake me IN
stead of placing me iii pot and boil
ing me- and, Furthermore. if at the eH-
piration OF twelve hours of baking | come
out alive that you spare my life and

The pit is perhaps five feet deep Its
length is about twenty feet and its width
ten feet. Dry twigs, logs and other in
fiammable materials were placed In the
bottom of the hole. They were SO laid
that a good draft might be obtained be-
tween the layers, and bot fire was
made.
When the fuel was all i'll the pit a
heap of stones, varying in size from three
to twelve inches across. were carefully
laid upon the top of the unlishted
furnace.
The powders made a fairly level sur
face. An examination of them showed
that they We're natural. and there was
no evidence that they had been treated
with any kind of ointment to prevent the
heat from reaching the surface, as has
been suggested by some people who have
never seen the feat performed.
When the stones We're laid. the fire was
lighted. 1t burned tiercely for about two
hours. finally leaving nothing but d bed
of red-hot Goals upon which the stones
rested. So painstakingly. had the pit been
prepared that the layer of stones sank
upon the surface of the Goals in almost
perfect shape, leaving a nearly level bed
for the fire-walkers to tread upon
