THE Brocillll SLIPPERS.
A great, dim garret, where the air was
sweet with mingled odors from drying herbs,
hung from its ancient rafters. The sunset
faintly penetrated the dllsky space, glancing
here and there upon a bit'of glowing color in
some quaint gem} thatklimply pendant, ro-
tained not a curve of the form it draped in
times gone by.
Beneath the eaves, where floor and rafters
all but meet. leaned‘ljows of faded portraitg
ill dull, tarnished frames. The painted eyes
rested on a quaint Old;_cradle, tattered books.
discarded dolls, a sled, a. battered rocking
horse, a drum—forgotten things that spoke
of many generations that had been born and
lived and died beneath that roof.
There was a noise upon the stairs, the click
of dainty lllod'ern heels, and a group, of
pretty girls invaded the garret, seeking
amusement from its treasures. The dust
flew from the lids of trunks alld boxes, whose
contents—stiff brocade; clinging lnuslins,
homespun gowns and, curious fabrics still
breathing of the Orient whence they came-é
excited the amazement and delight of the
girls.
At last the leader of the party dragged
from a dusky corner a. small, much worn
trunk, covered with horse hide and studded
with brass nails. There was a tantalizing
rustle of wrappings from within, but the
trunk resisted every effort at opening it.
“It must be locked,” cried Dolly, hot and
breathless.
“How provoking!” exclaimed Nell.
wonder where’s the he I"
“What key, dear?" asked a voice from the
door, where stood a' new comer.
“0h, grandmalnlna, do please open this
for us?” cried the girls, seizing upon the little
lady, who, nothing loath, produced a bunch of
keys and seated herself before the old trunk.
There was a breathless pause as she lifted
the lid and took from its wrappings amarvel-
ous gown of old brocade. The girls spread
out its rich folds with cries df admiration.
It was of a beautiful rose color, with tints
of blue and other gorgeoflsllues that blended
ill the harmony en y ’ produced by subtle
weavers of the east. Threads of gold, out-
lining a flower here aild there, glittered
bravely in the lalnpligllt as grandma smiled
over it.
“IVas it yours, grandmamnla?” asked
Dolly. ’
“Yes, dear,” she answered, absently, bend-
ing to lift a small lfB‘x from the trunk.
“OhI tell us about when you wore it,”
begged Noll; “I’m sure it has a story.”
“Yes, it has,” said grandmamma, thought-
fully; “and I have cause to remember it. ”
The girls seated themselves on trunks and
boxes and looked at her in delighted expecta-
tion; for her stories were rare and much
prized. Holding her hands upon the little
box she began: '
“My life ill this old house was quietly
happy: Until I was 10 years old there was
no story to tell of it. The railroad was not
then built, and people traveled by stage
coach or stayed at home. Houses were few
and scattered. A family whom I will call
Burton (lest you recognize them too soon)
were our nearest neighbors, though half a
mile distant. Sully-and Polly Burton were
near llly own age, and were my very dear
friends.
“On lny eighteenth birthday I received
this brocade as a present from my godfather.
He was a sea captain, and had brought this
from the east ell his last voyage. It was con-
sidered wonderfully beautiful even there, so
you can imagine what a sensation it caused
here.
“Mother rightly thought it far too fine for
me, and laid it away ill this same little trunk
until I should arrive at all age and dignity to
wear it. That time, in my opinion, came
when, the following winter, my friend Sally
was to be married and asked me to be one of
her four bridesmaids.
“Her fiance came of a fine old family, as
she did herself, and scores of relatives were
expected to the wedding, which promised to
be a grand alld brilliant affair. Mother hes-
itated to have the dress made; but girls then
wore lunch ‘oldel" gowns than ill these wiser
times, so she finally consented, as I expected,
for of her six children I was the only girl,
and was indulged accordingly.
“If you would know how I looked, study
Dolly here. I had the same purple black
hair—which could never be kept in decorous
order, so curly was it—thc same pink cheeks
and creamy skin. Bllt my eyes were black
instead of brown, and I was smaller than
she.”
“Yes, and you had the loveliest hands and
feet ever seen,” cried Fanny, “as you have
now.”
“And I’ve heard grandpapa say that you
were the belle of the county, and there was
HI
many a broken heart when you married ,
him,” laughed Nell.
“I was a thoughtless girl,” sighed grand-
nlamma, “and caused a. deal of trouble by
my vanity, as you shall bear.
"Well, the dress was made, and very proud
I was, as arrayed ill it I turned myself be-
fore the great mirror, and when the dress—
maker assured me that no such face and
form had been reflected there since the day!
of my great grandmother, a famous bells
and beauty, I was almost content. ‘-
“Almost—not quite. For the gorgeous
gown put to shame any slippers that I pos-
sessed, alld nothing would satisfy me but a
new pair lnado of the same material. So
next day my father rode to T——, twenty
miles away, alld ordered the slippers of a
fashionable shoemaker, my brother agreeing
to call for them the following week.
“But that very night began a. storm of
snow and sleet which lasted four days, and
the roads were not open for traveling until
the day before the wedding. Then brother
John started for T—, with along list of
commissions from both families.
“ ‘John,’ said I standing at the door, ‘if .
you let anything happen to my slippers, I’ll
never forgive you.’
“ iIlll be careful; run in,’ he answered.
,“At noon the next dawaas anxiously '
watching the road, for the wedding was to
be at 6 o’clock, and John had not yet re-
turned. But soon I saw the sleigh drive up,
and I rushed to the kitchen where John was
stamping the snow from his boots.
“ ‘Oh! where are my slippers?’ I cried, toss-
iuLy over the parcels.
“ ‘Tllcy’re there, all right,’ said John.
“But I could not find them. so mother
came to my aid; but we hunted ill vain.
John looked on in growing dismay and per
plexlty, but suddenly cried ill a tone of de-
spair: ‘I have it! I was to get them this
morning, as the ‘lnan was out last night. but
as I had so many other errands I forgot.
I’m so sorry, dear, but it's too late toga
back.’
“I burst into a storm of tears, bewailillg
my disappointment and vowing that I would
not go to the wedding in those old slippers.
Turning just then I saw Guy Burton in the
doorway alld fled to my room, where l
50be till tired out. Soon I heard a horse's
feet on the ice, as Guy rode off, and I
thought angrily of standing up with him
that night ill my old white satin slippers.
Guy was Sally‘s only brother—older than
herself. I had thought him cold and re-
served lately, though we had been good
friends ill the days when he took me coasting.
But he had been at college for four years
and I had seen little of him, except that
he always seemed to be about, book in hand,
during the last few weeks when I had been
to see the girls.
“Mother came to console me, and by 3';
o’clock I was in a pleasanter frame of mind,
though painfully conscious of the old slip
11ers, on which I could not look with equa-
nimity.
“Arriving at the Burtons I found the girls
in a great flutter. There was the usual num-
ber of things to be done at the last minute,
so it was only at the hour of the ceremony
that we began to look for our escorts. All
were ready but Guy. alld he was not to be
found. In the general confusion his absence
had been unnoticed.
" ‘He inust have gone on some errand at the
last minute,‘ said Mrs. Burton, in a worried
tone, looking into the darkness outside, for a
heavy storm had conlo up.
“We waited in growing uneasiness as the
servants were questioned, and it was found
that his horse Saudi was gone, and that Guy
had not been seen since morning.
“As an hour passed an he did not come.]
grew angry at the thought that I was the
only one to be annoyed by the defection of
my escort, and I almost Wished something
might happen to him. Sally declined to be
married in the absence of her brother. As
it grew later and later, she sat weeping with
her bridcmaids, while her fiance began to
fear that some serious accident had detained
his friend. .

and Saadi walked into the hall. on: his back,
a shapeless mass covered with iceuand snow,
was Guy. Lifting hlln off, the men laid‘hlm
upon the sofa and began to take off thoustiff-
cued wrappings. Sally and I clung together,
too much frightened for tears. as we looked
at Guy’s white, still face.
“As they opened his coatto sec ifhis heart
still beat, a little package fell to tho or.
But he was not dead, and after a, little while
seemed quite himself, though stiff and lame.
As soon as he could stand‘he felt in big breast
for the fallen package, then seeing it,'sn‘atched
it from the floor and presented it to me.
“You can fancy my feelings, girls, for it
hold these,” alld opening the box, grand-
lnalnma showed a pair of tiny rose colored
slippers. '
“As he knelt to put them on, the guests
stared ill amazed silence. Then there was a
storm of questions.
“Yes, he had ridden to T——-— for them,
and would have been back in time, but lost
his way in the storm on the return, went
miles from the right road, and on regaining
it had only strength to clasp his arms about
Saadi’s neck and bid him “goholne.
“Just here Saadi created a diversion by
walking up to the bride Witlf.tho evident in-
tention of rubbing his fiet nose on her shoul-
der. He was petted and spoiled to his heart's
content, and to 'my certain knowledge ate
half the bride’s cake, for Sally thought noth-
il'lg too good for him. Guy kept ~us waiting
bllt a short time longer, and at midnight the
ceremony was at last performed. .
“Idallccd the first dance with Guy, who
made a brave effort to keep time with the
fine new slippers, but was forced to succumb
to wearlness and watch the others. The next
day he was taken ill and was for weeks
dangerously low with fever caused by ex-
posuro on that awful ride.
“I never could endure the sight of those
slippers, and only wore them once more. A
year later, at the request of the man who
had risked his life to bring them to me, I
wore them the day we were married.”
There was a chorus of thanks as grand-
nlalnma stopped. Then the girls, seizing
upon her, begged that she would let them
dress her in the gown “just once more.”
After all instant’s hesitation shc consented,
and as tllc gleaming brocade draped the
erect and shapely figure, they could almost
fancy that her soft curls were only white
with powder, and that the fire of youtll still
glowed ill her undinlmed byes.
Dolly bent to place a, slipper on one pretty
foot, but it was taken from her hand, and
gralldpapa, who had entered ullperceived,
kllelt before the little lady with a. smile.
“How well I remembcl the first time, dear,"
he said softly. “As I- put this on a tear fell
on my hand, another on the slipper—see,
girls, here is the stain.”
But the girls laughed incredulously, alld
bore off their captive. The light passed from
poillt to point, and glilnmered on the rafters,
trunk and cradle as the lamps were borne
down stairs. The last rays flashed ill the
eyes of the portraits, tlle uncounted audi- '-
ence. Thell the door closed, and the garret,
warm and dusty, sweet with the breath of
herbs, gathering ill the memories of many
lives, was left in silence.——Demorest’s Maga-
zme.
Military Experiments in France.
The French squadron, now gathering at
Toulon for the regular summer evolutions,
has with it an aerostatic corps charged with
work of a wholly novel kind. Captive bal-
loons are to be sent up from the ships to
heights of 300 meters—about 1,000 feet—and,
the weather permitting, still greater altitudes
will be attained. As is customary when such
ascensions are made from the land, a to-
pographer will go up with the balloon to
make a sketch of the underlying country,
with special reference to roads and woods or
the position of a supposititious enemy if the
country is a hostile one, or if friendly, then
to mark off on a regular field map his posi-
tion with reference to the general topography
of the country, giving a careful estimate of
his strength as to numbers and situation.
\thn the experiments are made on the
French coasts, severe tests may readily be
applied to the topographical work done ill the
sky, for the French have complete charts of
their country, both coast and interior, with
every cross road and lane accurately de-
termined and laid down, every hill measured,
and indeed the position of every house re—
corded. The topographel' ill the balloon,
however well he can see, must guess as to the
effect of the light and color ill the forcsllortcn-
ing of the picture beneath him, and at the
amount of refraction.——Scicntific Alllericall.

twice as far apart as they ought to be and
leaning toward all points of the compass.
At Erzeroum Iseemed to have got beyond
the territory covered by the Turkish system,
and had ridden several days’ johrncy into
Persia.
It was a. wild,,bal'barous country about the
Turko~Pcrsian border, inhabited chiefly by
nomad Koords, and I missed even the occa—
sional welcome company of the Turkish tele-
graph linc. Its disappearance seemed like
casting off the last strand of western civili—
zation.
At that time I hardly expected to E
see another telegraph line .ulltil I' should 5
reach Japan, my intention being to reach the
Pacific through Turkestan and China.
Suddenly one day, when nearing Tabrcez,
I saw away off on the desert a sight that
made me blink and rub my eyes to ‘make g
sure that it was not a. mere optical illusion I
was looking at. The deserts of Persia are
famous for producing bogus objects—mirages
of lakes and waving palms of lovely castles
and similar fascinating scenes; but this tilne

it was none of these. Miles away to the ‘
north, seemingly suspended ill 'midair, was a j
whose mental and physical qualifications are
league long row of telegraph poles, straight
as a die, even as the pickets of a garden ‘
fence. ~
As I drew nearer the lille assumed more
definite form. Its marvelous symmetry, I
then discovered, was not the enchantmcnt of
distance, but a solid reality in English iron,
with the name of the contracting firm
stamped on the poles. Every pole tapering
from a circumference of twenty inches at
- the bottom to six or eight at the top, and
across the dead level wastes of the Persian
plains set up as evenly and perpendicularly
as they might have been in Hyde park. It is
wortll noting, perhaps, by the way, that the
English always take particular pains to have
everything of this kind very superior in the
cast; it is a perpetual sourceof wonder and
admiration to the natives, a standing adver-
tisement of England’s wealth, power and
ability to the multitude who have no other
way of learning.
From Tabreez I was able to follow this in-
fallible guide into Tehcran. Often I could
see it stretching ahead of me lnile after mile,
the poles so even that they seemed not to vary
all inch, and disappearing ill the heavens at
the farther end by the curious Iegerdemain
of tile desert. The aeolian music or its triple
wires as the desert breezes played through
them, ,and the messages flashed past fronl
India'to England, from England to India—
how companionablc it was, that bit of civili-
zation in a barbarous country, only those
who have been similarly placed know.—

City Children's Pro-coolly.
Precocity ill childhood is incompatible with
capability ill adult life. Instead of the quiet,
monotonous life of the country, the town
child lives amid perpetual excitement. The
town child eats too much of the cake every
day to have much of it left to put by. The
incidents of the street; the chaff which con-
stitutes so large a portion of the charm of
their life to town children; the excitement of
places of amusement—all favor precocity ill
the youngsters of the towns. The nervous
system is forced, as the horticulturlst forces
his vegetables, and with the same result—an
inferior product. ‘
Tho precocious child may be the delight of
its parents, and still more of its grand-
parents; but the physiologist looks upon it
with suspicion. This premature development
of the nervous system tells upon the thews
and sinews and upon the digestion. Tllo
town dweller has, as a rule, less perfect di-
gestive organs than the countryman. ——Good

on actuality, and a genuine “People‘s Palace,” ,
founded for the very purposes described ill
his story. And ill The North Alllericull Re-
view Mr. Bosant tells us of the palace that he
loves, its appearance, its work, its resources,
and its prospects. It is an interesting story:
“The palace, as installds at present, consists
only of the temporary sheds and the central
hall. Externally, the hall is hideous; Lbut
thell it is the core of the, whole palace, and
its exterior will be invisible when the whole
is bllilt. This hall, which is capable of bold-
ing 6,000 people at a pincll, is well propor-
tioned nlld loft-y; at one end stands an organ
and a platform for the llso of tile singers alld
performers at concerts; :1 spacious gallery is
built out on either side; a. statue of the queen
stands over the entrance; the sides are
adorned with statues of queens and princesses
of Great Britain and Ireland; under the gal-
lery arc tclllporal'y bookshelves, for the hall
is at present tllc library as well; the body of
the room is provided with tables and seats
for readers and hundreds of papers from all
parts of the world; at tile upper curl under
the plutforlll is the table where the librarians
——tw0 ladies—sit to advise the readers, to re-
ccive and give out the books. The place is
always well filled. On Sundays, especially,
when the librariall’s work is done by volun-
teers, it is crammed with orderly and quiet
readers, who find here a place for rest and
reading. be opening of the place on Sull-
day has proved an unmixed blessing and
boon to the people.
“At tllo back of the hall the library is
rapidly rising. It is all octagonal domed
room, with book acconllllodzltions for 250,-
000 volumes. At present the library con-
tains no more than 8,000 volumes, but is rup-
idly growing. The ante-rooms of the library
will be given over entirely for the use of the
girls who form the ‘lady lllclllbcrs.’ They
will then have all to themselves, under the
government of their own committee, their
own music room, tell l'OOlll, reading and
writing room and conversation roonl.
“At the back of tllc library stands a long
two storied building. This was formerly the
dormitory of the school and allllshouscs
which used to occupy the site. Fortunately
this block was not pulled down, and it is
now, pending the completion of the buildillg,
used for class rooms. The other buildings are
along, corrugated iron structure used for the
exhibitions; an iron building, which cou~
tains a gymnasium perfectly fitted up with
all tllo modern appliances; :1 billiard room
furnished with half a dozen billiard and
and baglltclle tables ill it and a refreshment
room. There are also the secretarial offices,
a small “ladics’ ” room fitted up for the girls,
and The Palace Journal oilicc.
“When the whole building is completed,
these temporary buildings will disappear.
The palace will contain ill itself everything,
namely: Social rooms. club rooms, billiard
rooms, lecture rooms, reading rooms, apart
from tllc queen's half class rooms, capable of
accommodating an immense number of
students; chemical and physical laboratories,
and all the machinery of a great technical
college and palace of delight.
“The boys’ school, which is carried on
during the day, is an attempt to do some-
thing for the boys who have reached the fifth
or sixth standard in the board schools, i. 0.,
who have il. good rudimentary education and
have shown intelligence, and whose parents
calulot afford to apprentice them to ally
trade. We take them for years on their
leaving school, and instruct them in trades
and in the principles which underlie all tech—
nical touching. Thus they are not taught
anything ornamental or superfluous. There
are classes in carpentry, design, geometry,
drawing and chemistry, billiollOllO ill such su-
perfluitics as spelling or French. They come
at the age of 1:: or 14, and they are to stay
for two years, after which they will leave
the school to enter upon their trade.
“The technical schools are carried on in
the evening; they may be attended by those
who are not members; ill fact, some of the
lllclnbcrs do not attend any of the classes.
At
present nine trades are taught: ‘tcchllical
classes,’ which include tllil'tccll branches of
‘sciellco classes,’ mm and design
cluSses,’ ‘lnusical classes,’ ‘clusscs for wo—
nlell,’ including all sorts of dress making, and
‘gellcl'nl’ classes, which include the require-
plants for tile examinations of the civil scr—
vicc, sllortllulld, French and German, book-
keeping, alnl so forth. Only those engaged
ill the particular trade to which the class re-
fers can join the practical or technical
classes. All these classes are full to over-
flowing." .
Ill the way of recreations the palace oil‘ers
two concerts a week, all ()l'g’zlll recital on
Sunday, a library and reading room—open
on Sunday from ‘J to 10 p. lll.—fl. billiard
room and a whole host of clubs—chess,
cycling, cricket, etc—organized by the mem-
blersat pleasure. Flower shows and exhibi-
tions of various kinds are held . t intervals,
alld four balls have already been given, which
Mr. Bcsallt assures us were most enjoyable
ull’airs. N0 intoxicullts of any kind are sold
within the limits of the palace.-
A curious feature of the palace economy is
the fact that only young persons are admitted
to membership. The palace has at present
about three thousand lzlclllbcrs, all it call as
yet accommodate. \Vlloll the buildings are
completed it will have as many as toll thou-
sand—The Standard.
AFTER THE EXAMINATIONS.
What a Lady Principal. Thinks of “Cl-uln-
m'illg" Methods in Our Schools.
A lady, who is principal of one of the
largest alld finest of our public schools, and
far above tllc average, said: “Am I glad the
examinations are over? Glad? ’Why, it is
like letting one out of prison—like lifting a
ton’s weight from me. It is to me a terrible
ordeal. These examinations of the school
are really examinations of me. My pupils’
standing is llly standing. I anl judged by it.
Sometimes when I think that allure wcll pre-
pared sonlc of them may failllle. I worry and
fret (to myself and within lllyscll') more than
any cllc knows. I labor and strain—some—
times it is almost agony—to prepare them.
Illeartilydenouncc the forcing, crnnllllillg
process. It is wicked and wrong and un-
reasonable, and very often defeats itself. I
cannot help what I have to (lo, and to go
through these examinations these children
must be forced and strained. I can see
plainfy, and so can any intelligent person,
that the children suil'er ill health and ill
milld. It is cruel, it is unjust, it is very un-
profitable.
“Many—I say many, and I know what I
say and mean it—vcl'y many children
memorize lessons and can repeat them like a
parrot; they tllg, struggle, push and pass
their examinations simply because they are
shoved or hoisted through by machine like
methods. They call glibly repeat many
things that they study, of the sense and prac-
tical application of which they are utterly
ignorant. Girls, of course, are naturally
more prone to spells of exhaustion and faint-
ing, bllt the frequency of such instances is
not an ordinary but extraordinary feature.
I have instances ill mind of girls who, realiz-
ing that they had but a short period to go to
school, nlld because of the poverty of their
parents they lllust soon begin to earn their
bread, with commendable ambition and dili—
gence labored with all their might to advance
as fast as possible; labored harder than some
others who learned easier; labored beyond
their strength until they were strickell down
from sheer brain and body exhaustion. Ono
of these I had cautioned repeatedly, and even
urged her to take a rest for awhile.
“Silo was near graduation, and felt that
unless she could pass examinations then she
would never have another chance. She
studied hard and learned slowly and with
difficulty, but was persistent and determined.
She was an unusually amiable, sweet teln-
pered, quiet girl, whom everybody loved. I
had noticed her growing pale- and thin, and
knew that she was straining all of llcrmcntul
and physical powers ill the contest for suc-
cess. Olle day, ill the class room during ro-
citution, the book slipped from llcr hands,
she pressed her fingers against her temples,
and exclainlillg ill ll lllourllful voice that I
shall never forget: ‘Oll, Miss , my llclul,
my llcad!’ sank down ill a faint. She was
taken home alld brain fever sot ill, and on
the very day of the closing exercises of that
term she was buried. She was undoubtedly
the victim of brain overwork. This was an ex-
treme case, but I assure you that I have seen
many instances of girls injured for life from
the same cause.”-—-Ncw Yonk Star.
A Product‘lor Building Paper.
Resin, as used in building paper, is being
largely replaced by u petl'olculll product
called “still wax," or wax tailillgs.. All im-
portant advantage ill the use of this petro-
leum product, ill connection with paper and
fibrous substances, consists ill its non-liability
to oxidize and thus produce spontaneous
combustion. Moreover, it is said to toughen
with age, instead of growing more brittle.
like rcsill and coal tar pitch. It is not more
combustible than resin; it burns slowly with
adull flame, producing immense quantities
of lalllpblack of fine quality. It melts rap-
idly at 200 dogs. Fahr., and ill that state
combines perfectly with resin, asphaltuln
and warm oil. Its use is therefore expected
to increase largely. —Frallk Leslie’s.

flow the Dentist We! to Defy Thus I:
Well on Nature.
"Four and five dollar sets of teeth mad-
while waiting.”
That is a portion of an advertisement that
caught a reporter’s eye and caused a visit to
the office of the dentist who had inserted it.
Many men doubtless remember that cer-
Lain oI‘ theil relatives remained in solitary
confinement for from two to three weeks
while waiting the arrival of the ideal set of
grinders. Is it possible that one car have
rule's own worthless teeth removed. an im-
pression of the mouth taken and new teeth
listed, and all within an hour or two‘s time?
The dentist, when asked that question, an—
swered ailirmatively. “You see,“ said he,
“dentistry is progressing like everything
else, and it is an every day occurrence for
me to get up a $5 set of teeth in an hour and
. after having teeth extracted, Lllf‘ patient
would wait for a week until the mouth heals
and the bone which surrounds the teeth be
dissolved, still there are ever so many who
come here and will endure the discomfort

Superstltlons of the Omallao.
Mr. Frank La Flesche, an lndian who has
~for some years been employed in the lndian
oflice, read an interesting paper before the
Anthropological society the other evening on
"Funeral Customs of the Omahas." "Thc
approach of death,” he said, “is believed tc
be foreshadowed in various ways. not only to
the person himself, but to others. who, by
I'Imsou of their supposed skill in seeing the
mnling of death, gain reputationas prophets
They either have visions or pass through ap
parent death. The dream er lies in the open
air, in the midsummer, with the thunder
rolling in the heavens, and listens for voices
I'hese come to him from animals, clouds or
merely the air. Such persons as can
foresee death are eligible to member-
ship In the ‘Ghost society.’ One vis-
lnu is that of a woman walking, but
not on the ground, surrounded by a
halo of brightness, and always leaving a vil-
lage or lodge. If they wear a placid, pleasing
expression, the death will be from natural
causes. from accident or in war; but if the
face is distorted it is an indication that the
gel-son will die while engaged ill a quarrel
with another, and the soul is full of bitter
ncss. Those who foresee can also prevent
death, and are often called upon to render
this service. One method is pouring hot
water at right angles to the path leading to
the lodge, while another consists of occupy
ing, with one whose death is foreseen, a sweat
lodge built by the latter, pronouncing cer-
tain incantations and sprinkling the body of
the client with the powder of the artelnesia,
supposed to be the food of the ghosts.
“The howling of a dogisalsoa token of
coming death. but Is not so infallible as the
spectacle of a dog mounting the side of an
earth lodge. and peering through the opening
at the top. Then, with trembling limbs, the
warriors. seated around the fire. seize mis-
siles and chase the dog and kill hiln to propi-
tiate the ghosts. To see or hear the voices of
dead relatives is also a sign of approaching
death. “— Washington Star.
