THE DANCING PILGRIMS.
A Strange Ceremony Which Seems to
Bring Happiness to the Performers,
011 they go through the streets. over
the rough cobbled roads, for nearly
two miles, till they come to the flight
of steps leading to the church. Up
these steps. sixty-four in number. they
dance forward and back, ever with the
same motion. Right up to the church
door do they dance. Into the church,
up the gospel aisle, through the sanc—
tuary they go.
out through a door into a church-yard,
still dancing as they go, and three
times round the churchyard cross fin-
ishes their share of the pilgrimage.
The scene in the church when the
pilgrimage is at its height, about noon,
is something indescribable. The nave
is packed with people kneeling and
praying aloud. The bands are playing
their loudest, perhaps. two or three re-
gardless of each other. The north aisle
is one thick mass of bobbing humani-
ty getting nearer and nearer to ,the
high altar. In the sanctuary'they go
in single file, still dancing, of course,
and as they get nearer the altar they
give their rosaries and other pious ob-
Jects to some priests who are busily
employed in laying them on the sacred
relics. As they dance round at the
back of the altar they can see the tomb
of the saint they venerate. I was
standing for some time in the sanctu-
ary watching the curious sight, and
was much struck with the pale, ex-
hausted faces, which, though worn and
streaming with perspiration, were lit
up with a most peaceful, happy light.
There is one stream of dancers passing .
through the church till after 1 o‘clock,
when the clergy return to sing the
Te Deum and close the pilgrimage with
benediction. Fancy, for over five
hours this dancing goes on! About
midday I asked the official counter
howv many had passed; he said already
some 22,000 dancers and 240 musi-
cians. This was more than an hour
before the pilgrimage closed—From
the Catholic World.
LUMINOUS’PLANT‘S?
An Australian Tnadstool will Light a

Near Simla, in the Himalayas, the
grassy hills are, during the rains, il-
luminated in patches with a strange
pallid light, which gleamstremulo-us
as a"will-o’—the-wisp. It", has been
found to emanate from a gi‘ass'y'vhose
botanical name. is “An-thisteria ana~
ritheia.” Not every plant has this
. strange luminosity, perhaps only one
in a hundred, but even this is sufficient
to make the whole hillside glow here
and there with this beautiful phos-
phorescence.
Another plant, also Himalayan, the
“Dictamus fraxitella,” has an even
stranger property; for from itsleaves
a velatile oil is distilled in such quanti-
ties that, on bringing a lighted match
near to it, the Whole shrub will be en-
veloped in a transient flame, which
will yet in nowise injure it.
On the dwarf palms of Brazil grows
a beautifully phosphorescent fungus,
whilst another Australian toadstool
emits a soft green light so strong that
a few pieces of it will enable one to

also produces a luminous moss w‘hrich
gleams like a whole nest of glow-
worms from the dark recesses of the

Compared-
clearly shown by the following comparisons. We have selected the
largest proxy-mutual company in the New England States (the Connec
ticut Mutual, and compare it, with the JETN A LIFE, the largest com-
pany with stock management.
The Connecticut Mutual, by its annual statement filed with the Insurance
Commissioner of this State, January 1, 1897, shows that it has $525,093.79 more
than its entire surplus, invested in real estate. (It increased its holdings of real
estate in 1896, $1,108,702.75). Its taxes repairs and expenses on real estate in
1896 amounted to $298,675.90, or $42,911.31 more than its entire income from that
estate over surplus), but, on the contrary it was behind from that source, as
shown above. $42,911.31.
Of the [ETN A LIFE’S surplus ($6,711,502.25), it had on the first of January
last, as shown by its statement filed with the Commissioner, real estate amountv
ing 'to $486,348.25, leaving of its surplus to be otherwise invested $6,225,154.00.
Its net income from real estate amounted to $8,150.82. Its surplus not invested
come from real estate as above, makes $325,633.67 earned upon its surplus alone.
part of its assets, shows a loss, as above stated, of 342.911.31.
These unfavorable investments affect the dividends of that company. (Had
the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favorable results, in the above particular,
as the ETN A LIFE, it would have gained in the year 1896, over its present ex-
perience, $469,138,25.): _ .
