Peacock Superstitions,

According to Mohammedan tradition,
the peacock opened the wicket Of para
disc to admit the prince of darkness
and received a share of his punish
ment. The feathers, gorgeous in their
hellish dye, reflect the glamour of the
evil eye; hence the origin Of the su-
perstltion that peacocks' feathers are
unlucky, though the superstition is
sometimes said to have its origin in
the fable of Argus, whom Juno set to
watch 10. one of her husbands mis-
tresses. Argus was beguiled by Mer-
curry and lulled to sleep by his playing,
thus allowing 10 to escape. Juno, to
punish Argus, placed his many eyes
in the tail OF her peacock, who thence.
forth proudly displayed them. Thus q
peacock's feather became the symbol
Of watchful and vindlctive jealousy.
There was an old superstition that
peacocks ruffied their feathers at the
sight of poison.

Old Nick and Nickel,

Nickel was first discovered by Cron-
stedt in 1851. No use was made of it,
as it was found only in small amounts.
For a great many years the German
miners called it kupfernickel, or DEVILS
copper. 1t was believed by those sim
pie folk that Old Nick, or the devil,
made this ore purposely to bother the
miners, as it looked exactly like cop
per ore and yet no copper could be ex-
tracted from it Nickel was scarce
until a New York assayer found a
quantity Of it in a shipment Of ore
from Canada. He stated its value In
his report, and the owner Of the mine

quantities. Of It. Nickel is hard, due

Music of Our Irdians.

The music Of cur Indians is solely
and simply vocal 1t seems to be- gen
orally agreed by musical authorities
that the Indians songs have in them
nothing borrowed from instruments.
nothing Of artificial instigation An
Indian melody never served two sets
Of words. There is no instance, it ap-
pears, where the people have followed
our custom Of singing the different
stanzas of a ballad to the same air. A
large proportion of Indian songs are
entirely without words at all, syllables
being employed to carry the tones.
Perhaps the most striking popularity
Of Indian music is the lack of definite
pitch, for there is no such thing as
standard pitch among the musicians
Of the red men. The Indian begins
his song where the natural quality OF
his voice and his mood at the time
render it easiest for him to sing it.
The pitch Of the song depends upon
