day when a workingman entered the
room The surgeon stopped him by
gesture and ordered his class to
look al him.

his students, what is the matter
with this man? From here you
should be able to make a correct
diagnosis by looking al The mans
face, his bearing and the contour of

At the last landing he was to be
set ashore, no matter where the ship
might land, and the absence of a rail
was doubtless due to lack of that
sort of fence. Perhaps the western
continent may still lay claim to that
sort of punishment, but the tar and

The Sun Dance.

DR.. Dorsey, writing in the Los An
geles Herald of the native tribes of
the West, remarks that what is
known as the sun dance has no evil
dence of the sun in it.
1t is instead an ancient rite con-
tinued till much of the reason for its
institution has been forgotten, but
what is known is that it is regular in
recurring, that it is kept up eight
day and illustrates the creation or
regeneration of the world. This
would seem to denote that it is a
counterpart of the Bacchic rites and
Adonis worship of former periods in
which under the figure of the death
and resurrection of the divine being,
the whitening and renewed growth Of
vegetation were implied.

h THE CUTTING OF CANOES.
Stones Are Plentiful, but Large, Per-
feet PIECES are Costly.


Canoes are cut from the stones
onyx and sardonyx, which are said to
be 50 plentiful on the Uruguay Riv-
er in Brazil that ships often carry
them away as ballast. Nevertheless,
perfect pieces of large size are cost
ly. A piece suitable for large por-
tai costs about SIS.
This stone is preferred for canoes
because of It's hardness and durable
fly and Is suitable for such work ow-
Ing to the fact that it comes in lay
ers Of contrasting colo1s as black and
white, black and cream or red and
white When the cut figure is sunk
into the stone instead of being raised
the cutting is called an intaglio.
The cost of these gems is due to
the time and skill required in the
work Formerly a small gem might
occupy an artist for year or more,
but with modern appliances the work
can be done more rapidly. Still the
ancient work bears the palm for ar
tistic excellence.
The cutting is now done by. hold
ing the stone against a revolving
drill, whose steel face is. covered with
diamond dust. No steel is hard
enough TO cut the stone The ut
most patience and caution and deli
cate handling are required, as the
slightest slip may spoil tie work.
