DEVIL DANCERS OF cEYLON
They Are Called Into Requlsition for
Curing All Kinds of
Sickness.

Despite the advance of medical
knowledge throughout India, says
writer in the October Wide World
Magazine, devil dancers are still called
into requisition in many parts of Cey-
lon for curing all kinds of sickness.
When native is taken ill his relatives

ner, but is caused by some inimical in
f1uence, and must therefore be due to
either a glance of the evil eye, the ac-
ton of demon, or some evil planetary
action. The soothsayer is then sent
for, and this worthy, after examining
responsible for the malady An offer
ing is then made to the demon in the
form of food, a coin, or a piece Of
cloth. Then follows the professional
dance, carried out by the devil
dancers. Two men clad in gorgeous
garments and wearing strange head
dresses and masks go through a num-
Der of grotesque and extraordinary
evolutions to the beating of the tom
toms, making weird noises the while.
This is kept up for hours, sometimes
all night, and is always performed
within sight of the sick person. In the
complete ceremonies of the demon
called Samhi Yaka, who causes con-
vulsions, severe toothache, headache,
etc, no fewer than 80 different masks
are worn in turn by the dancers. Curl
ously enough, observers state that
these strange ceremonies usually have
a favorable effect upon the patients

H00kWORM INFECTION
LIGHT IN 4 COUNTIES
NEVADA COUNTY, WITH 70.S
PER CENT, HIGHEST
FAULKNER VERY LOW.

Little Rock, Jan. 1.-The State
Board of Health announces that the
hook surveys made of the va
rious counties of the state up to the
present time, on a basis of not less
than 200 examinations of persons of
scholastic age, shows the following
per cent of infections: Ashley 53.5,
Bradley 49.1, Clark I'LL, Cleveland
63.12, Columbia GIT, Conway II,
Cross 47.05, Dallas 62.57, Drew 30.34,
Faulkner 3, Hampstead 44.38, indie

els 3O.76, Saline 44.05, Sewer 1854,
Union 1925, White 6.3, Woodruff
4404.
1t is explained that the examina-
tons made in these counties were not
of so large a number as to be wholly
typical of the rural conditions. The
infections are more numerous in the
country than in towns and cities, fol
sanitary conditions are not so good
there.

HIS LIFE ONE OF HARDSHIP
Cuban Farmers Lot May Be Said to
Be Almost Hopeless at the
Present Time.

The Cuban farmer works more AND
harder than any other countryman OF
the world He makes of himself a
beast Of burden, and becomes bent
under the weight of his toll. He is alb
solutely destitute of any preparation
for his lifework
He does not know how to read or
write or count; he has no notion OF
anything, nor does he hear anything
talked of; the nation preserves him in
the crude. He doesn't read because he
doesn't know how, for in this country
there is nothing about agriculture OF
the least utility or profit published
in fact, there is no agricultural matter
published at ALL If an agricultural ex-
pertinent station is established, it
promptly becomes a purely bureau
cratic center, absolutely useless,
though absorbing an enormous amount
of money without publishing page.
The government announces branch
experiment stations, but the public
knows in advance that they will be
centers, founded solely to furnish jobs
for political friends and henchmen. in
which no one will be found to know
anything about anything, and where
nobody will try to teach any one any
thing. and whittier nobody will take
the trouble to go in hope of learning
anything.

JUDGE HILL Will
NOT Enter RACE
FOR SENATORIAL TOCA
JURIST DECLARES STRENUOUS
CAMPAIGN WOULD ENDAN-
GER HIS HEALTH.

Fort Smith, Jan. 5.-Judge Joseph
NJ. Hill of this city will not be can
didate for the United States senate.
He made the announcement yesterday
afternoon. While Judge Hill has a
host of friends here and in all parts
of the state who would be delighted
to support him, the announcement
does not come altogether as a sur
prise to them as they have felt for
should be in the prime of his career.
Judge Hills formal announcement
Of his position in the present cam
paign was made Saturday afternoon,
when he gave out the following state
ment:
at is we'll known that for months
have received solicitations to become a
candidate for the United States SEN
ate To all friends have stated that
a campaign longer than three months
would determine my course by the
first of the year.
81 have taken counsel with friends
over the state and find some diversity
of opinion, principally due to the late
ness of entering the contest, but the
great weight of opinion is that this is
a great opportunity for me and that
I should avail myself Of it. My own
opinion is that it would be necessary
in order to make winning campaign
to make a thorough canvass of the
state. Nothing less would be justice
to my friends or myself. This would
require speaking at least once day,
usually oftener, for the next three
months and being exposed to all sorts
and conditions of weather and travel
some time that he could not enter the
race at this late date and win without
an exceedingly strenuous campaign
The attention that has been attracted
to Judge Hill in this campaign will
cause him to be regarded as a possible
entrant in the next race, and while
that is long way off, that campaign
will not be regarded as certain until
Judge Hill has made an announce
ment of his intentions. Judge Hill is
still young man and at that time
at the worst season of the year.
81 had hoped that different cam
paign was possible. l do not feel that
l would be justified to endanger my
restored health to such strain.
"The senate is a great forum and
offers a career that would like and
it is great temptation to me, in view
of so much proffered support, to offer
for it, but for the reason given, | do
not feel at liberty to undertake it.
"My heart is full of gratitude to
the many friends who have interested
themselves in me-"

WILDMAN'S TRANSFER TO
LITTLE ROCK.

Little Rock, Jan. 81. w. Dean,
general superintendent of the Iror.
Mountain railroad, has returned from
trip to the Pacific coast, and found
awaiting him a report that he had
been elected general manager of the
Texas & Pacific.
Nothing to it," replied General Su-
perintendent Dean, when questioned
about the report. 81 am too well sat
istied with Arkansas, and want to stay
here for some time longer"
The report stated that C. B. Wild
man, superintendent at Van Buren,, a
post formerly held by Mr.. Dean, would
succeed him. The denial of the report
is welcome news to people who have
business with the Iron Mountain, for
Mr.. Dean is the most efficient and
courteous official the business men of
Arkansas have had to deal with in
many years. He is deserving of pro-
motion, but the business interests of
Arkansas do not want to see him
leave.

Weird Story of Glasgow Ship.

A remarkable story of the sea has
just come to light. 1t is stated that
the survivors of a vessel wrecked OF
Cape Horn found the wrecked Glas-
gov ship Marlborough in a cove, with
twenty skeletons near by.
The Marlborough left Lyttelton,
New Zealand, in January, 1890, for
London, and was not heard of again.
1t was supposed that she sank in
collision with an iceberg. Her cap
tain was w. Arid.
Lloyd's Register shows that the
Marlborough was an iron two-deck
sailing vessel that has been missing
from her port, Glasgow, since Janu-
airy, 1890. The owners are Messrs.
J. Leslie & Co., Glasgow. She was
built in 1876 by Messrs. R. Duncan &
Co., and was placed in the special
survey class of Lloyd's Register. She
was 22S feet long, 80 feet wide, and
81 feet deep.

the home on Clifton street, where the
remainder of the evening was spent. A
luncheon was served at daintily-ap-
pointed table, where the color scheme
