Picturesque Dances.

The tribe has it's festivals and dances. many of which are not unlike the Indian dances in the Southwest. The Medicine Men of the tribe usually arrange the time for the date of the Green Corn Dance, festival which Is governed by a certain phase of the moon. This dance is perhaps the most important of their festivals, and Is held as an expression of gratitude to the Great Spirit for an abundant har- vest-a custom borrowed from the ancient sun worshipers. The Hunting Dance takes place once in four years, and is genuine play day for the men. women and children. These dances, while not as weird as those of the Indians of the Far West, are quite as remarkable and we'll worth visiting if the traveller is willing to brave the Florida sun in July.

She was a girl who was supposed to be
able to ~foretell future vents, locate

business ventures. She was much
sought after as a sorcereSS. and her
owners made money by her supposed

which she lived to attribute such pow
ers to a demon, and the girl was said
to have the spirit Of the Python. From
day to day she annoyed Paul by call
ing after him the name of God and the
salvation which he preached. Finally
he rebuked the spirit which controlled
her and ordered it to leave her. The
girl no longer told fortunes. and OH that
accOunt her owners lost money. The
most sensitive part of some men ever
in civilized lands is their pocket. and
we do not wonder that Il cry was raised
against Paul that he vas destroying

Death and Life Masks.

In the preparation Of death masks
the usual method is to cover the face
of the dead body with oil and then APP
ply plaster of paris. The oil prevents
too close adhesion to the skin and
makes it possible to remove the plaS-
ter when it has hardened. \. mold is
thus formed. into which fresh plaster
is poured. The resulting east is the
death mask. Death masks are of
course exact r~eSemblances Of the faces
from which they are made. and their
value is impaired only by the changes
of contour which may have been caused
by death itself. The custom of taking
death masks is very ancient and wide
spread as well. The Romans made
them of wax, the Egyptians of thin
gold plate. \ few specimens have been
found among the American Indians.
Life masks are similarly made, but
mobility uf expression is necessarily

LEGEND OF WILLIAM TELL.
The Story Wa Old In Denmark Before
the Swiss Borrowed Il.


DO you know who shot the apple ON
the head of the little boy! Why, VIII
liam Tell. OF course! Everybody knows
how Tell delivered Switzerland from
the tyranny of Austria. At least ey-
erybody used to know. Unfortunately
for pure romance. the historian and
the investigator have been unduly :,c-
tive in the past quarter of Il century.
amt the result has left us few heroes
with enough clothing of romance to
cover their skeletons.
We have read Schiller'S beautiful
and inspiring play, either in our col
le@e German curse or in translation.
and we cling to William Tell with all
the ardor of youthful enthusiasm. And
along comes the historian and tells us
that II is all Il myth. that the dates
hNed 10y he Swiss chronicles on the
subject do not coincide with the dates
of the historic events that were SUD
posed to be taking place in Austria at
the same time and that earlier records
of Switzerland make no mention of
the a%rrlpr'S master shot.
The SelfSame story is told in the
Danish legends. two centuries before
1t crops out in the Swiss narrative.
II further investigation shows that it
was borrowed by the Danes. the ori.i-
nal apple having been shot from the
original child's head by a German
bowman named Eigil. when King Nj
dung sought to test the mans skill and
nerve. In hat remote story ii is re-
lated that Eigil concealed another az
row in his bosom with which to Kill
the king if he injured his child. John

ZULU ELEPHANTS ALL GONE.
Not One Left In the Land That Used

There is not Il single elephant left in

was once a veritahIe paradise for the
ponderuuS animals. The last Of them.
once Il mighty crcature. was found
dead some time ago on Il farm ON the
banks Of the I~nfolozl river. where hr
had lived since the early part of the
reign Of the great chief Cctewayo.
An immense herd once roaned the
l'ugugugu forest and along the Infu-
loZl. but 1t was diminished by inreS-
SAINT hunting until f%eteWnyo one day
finally drove it away forever. The chief
used to make medicine Of certain pul-
ions OF their bodies.
On the occasion referred to he organs
lied d mighty drive in which two ele-
plants were killed and many wounded.
One of the latter turned and trampled
one of his p%lrSlers to IL pulp. 1t was
his animal, which was captured then.
whose death marked the vanishing of
the animals from the country. The re
maiuder OF the herd broke away, and
thereafter none of them was seen again

Paul Leaves the city Paul'S ron
duct in this case was ~conunpndable in
every sense. He sought no petty
vengeance. but he was jealous for the
honor Of the gospel. If he left Philippi
without Il V~indicution his converts in
thai city would suffer IA disgrace from
which they might never rcover. He
was always faithful to warn men Of
the %hardships they must endure for the
sake of the gospel. and he himself was
always willing to suffer for his Lord.
But he did not rnS needlessly into
pain and disgrace. Before he left the
city the apostle visited the house of

the church which met there. Private
homes were often meeting places for
the Christians in these early days. and
the house of Lydia filled an important
place in the planlin" "f the church in

Paul went away he left Luke behind
to carry forward the work III this city.
