THE NEGRO AND THE BANJO
There Was No Affinity Between Them
In Old Plantation DAYS.


To represent the negro in his comic
aspects and in his sentimental moods
was what the minstrels pretended to
do, but the pretenSe was often only u
hollow mockery. Even the musical In
struments they affected, the banjo and
the field hand or even of the town dar-
ky as the violin.
Indeed, the bones cannot be consld-
cred as In any way special to the
negro; they were familiar to Shake
speare's Bottom. who declares: II have
reasonable good ear in music; let us
have the tongs and the bones" And
the wise recorder of the words and
deeds Of Uncle Remus declared that he
had never listened to the staccato pick
ing of banjo in the negro quarters of
any plantation.
81 have seen the negro at work." so
Joel Chandler Harris once asserted,
land | have seen him at play; | have
attended his corn shuckings, his dances
and his frolics; | have heard him give
the wonderful melody of his songs to
the winds; I have heard him give bar
barrie airs to the quilts that is to say,
to the Pans pipes); | have heard him
scrape jubilantly on the fiddle; l have
seen him blow wildly on the bugle and
beat enthusiastically on the triangle,
but have never heard him play on the
njo."-Brander Matthews In Serb
ner's Magazine.

NATURAL BORN HUNTERS.
Brazilian Natives Are Only Rivaied by
Thosa of Australia.

If you want to find thoroughbred
sportsman you must look among the
natives Of the Brazilian forests Espe-
cially among the Botocudo, to whom
tracking game is the chief business Of
his life. He does 1t with such skill
that he fills the white man with awe
and wonder.
However enthusiastic a huntsman
you are you will feel yourself a poor
sportsman after watching him for
little while. The Botocudo hunter
glides stealthily through the forest.
He understands every sign and habit
Of bird and beast. He knows how
high up an armadilo displaces the
leaves of tree in passing. He can
distinguish the tracks of the snake
and the tortoise. He can follow the
tortoise to its burrow by the scratches
Of its scaly armor on the mud His
sense of smell is so keen that it helps
him great deal in hunting Hidden
behind the trunk of a tree he can i'm
itate the cries of birds and beasts to
bring them within range of his deadly
poisoned arrow. He can even entice
the alligator by making her rough eggs
CRATE together where they lie under
leaves on the river bank. If he shoots
at an ape and the animal does not fall
he will climb up after the animal by q
hanging creeper where no white man
would climb. However dark the for
est, he is Indifferent to this darkness
Laden with his bag of game he finds
his way back to his hut by the sun
and the lay of the ground
His only rival is the Australian ma
tive. He will lie in wait behind a
screen of boughs. He waits until the
kangaroo comes to drink, or he will
track him for days in the open. He
will camp by his fire to be ready for
his pursuit at early dawn. He keeps
unseen to leeward.
When d number hunt together they
will put up brush fence in two long
wings, converging toward a pit, and so
drive the kangaroos into it. They also
form great hunting parties for bat
tue surrounding half a mile of bush
land, and with shouts and clatter they
drive all the game to the center, where
they can close round and dispatch
them with spears and waddies. In
fowling they show the same adroit-
ness. A native will swim under wa
ter, breathing through a reed. He
merely covers his head with water
weed till he gets among q flock Of
ducks, which one by one he pulls un-
der and tucks into his belt. They
rarely need to make use Of dogs In
hunting, though they had learned this
way of hunting long before the white
man knew anything about it. They
used the dingo or native dog.-Chicago
Herald.

The River Jordan.

Religion, history and nature conspire
to make the Jordan the most famous
river of the earth. Across it the hosts
Of Israel were led into the Promised
Land; in its waters the Christian rite
of baptism had its birth; up and down
it's valley many civilizations in the
morning of history rose and fell. Per
haps the strangest thing about this ia.
nous river is that none of the ancients
ever guessed that its mouth was be-
low the level of the sea. 1t was not
until 1874 that accurate measurements
were made and the mouth Of the river
was found 1,292 feet below the Medi-
terranean, less than sixty miles away.
