THE RUSSIAN STILETTO DANCE.
A Weird Custom Indulged in by the
Chehets of Caucasus.
Speaking of Chehets, who are creating
considerable disturbance in their moun-
tains of the Caucasus, a traveler says:
“While in a little villa, several versts dis-
tant from Tiflis, I witnessed one of their
annual festivals, and the peculiar and
unique dance, which, somewhat modi-
fied, has been adopted in Russia under
the name of Lieazinka. The lieazinka is
a relic of centuries, about the only and
the last custom kept that was formerly
practiced by their nomadic ancestois on
special occasions, such as the return from
a victorious campaign, the wedding of a
popular youth, or the death of a brave.
“The long, finely drawn dagger worn
by the Chehets at their liips is taken off;
each sticks liis own into the ground at
intervals varying from a few inches to
about a couple of feet. Two stilettos are
then taken out, one in each hand, and
the dance begins. At first to the tune of
reeds playing a dirge like song, the gray
haired old warriors advance. Their step
is slow and measured. They enter the
magic circle of daggers and when fully
in the younger men begin to fall into
line. Then the music assumes a livelier
spirit. The dancers begin to leap and
arms now sway in cadence to the music.
A feverish excitement seems to -creep
among them. Faster and faster fall the
reed notes, now joined by tinkling cym-
bals and drums made of bark and
stretched leather.
“The arms wave wildly about. The
stilettos flash like silver threads in the
light of the glowing fires. The excite-
ment is intense. Shrieks r and the ah',
and a confusion of sounds make a per-
fect pandemonium of the place. They
revolve about the daggers, leap over
them and whirl each other about with
surprising rapidity and agility. All
physical senses seem aroused to the keen-
est alertness, their whole mind is con-
centrated upon their actions and all con-
sciousness of outside things is for the
time being unknown. Their flowing
beard, disheveled locks and eyes staring
vacantly from their sockets form a con-
trast particularly striking arid awful.
“Gradually the music slows up, and
now they advance back and forth, then
whirl about, circling round and round;
the stilettos in rhythmic motions are
borne first to the nose, then the ears, el-
bows and other parts of the body. After
an hour or so of such exercise one by one
they fall out through sheer exhaustion,
until the musicians themselves, worn out,
sound-the final note, when the remaining
few recover themselves and leave the
charmed circle to receive the coiigratula-
tions of their women friends. Such is
the dancer.—Book Review.
Some Doga Live Long Under Water.
The poundmaster reported to Health
Commissioner Martin the drowning of
seven dogs under the authority of the or-
dinance providing for the slaughter of un-
muzzled dogs. He suggested to the
health commissioner that the plan of
drowning the dogs is extremely barbar-
ous. He had drowned about 100 dogs up
to the present time, he said, and it was
very disagreeable work, besides being
cruel to the dogs. He thought there
might be a number of ways devised to end
the existence of the unfortunate brutes
more humane than the drowning method.
‘ ‘There is a great difference in the way
water affects different animals, ’ ’ said the
poundmaster. “Some of them are dead
within a minute after being put in the
water, while others live much longer,
some as long as fifteen minutes. I can’t
understand how it is possible for them to
live so long, but they seem to be almost
like fish. I often leave a dog that ap-
pears to be particularly long lived in the
water over night, so as to be sure that he
is dead. ’ ’—Milwaukee Sentinel.
A Realistic View of War.
War is a kind of superstition; the pa-
rade of arms and badges corrupts the im-
agination of men. How far more appro-
priate* would be the symbols of an incon-
solable grief, muffled drums, and the
melancholy music and arms reversed, the
livery of sorrow. When men mourn at
funerals for what do they mourn in com-
parison with the calamities which they
hasten with all circumstance of festivity
to suffer and to afflict? Visit in imagina-
tion the scene of a field of battle or a city
taken by assault. Collect we into one
group the groans and the distortions of
the innumerable dying, the inconsolable
grief and horror of their sorrowing
friends, the hellish exultation and un-
natural drunkenness of destruction of the
conquerors, the burning of the harvests,
and the obliterations of the traces of cul-
tivation.—Shellye s Philosoplrical Views
of Reform.
How California. Was Named.
At a meeting of the California His-
torical society a paper was read by Pro-
fessor Davidson on the early discoveries
in California. He said the word -‘Cali-
fornia’ ’ first occurred in a novel entitled
“Las Sergas de Esplandian, ” published in
1510 and that the name was first given to
this country by Bernal Diaz Costello, who
served under Cortez, who writes in his
memoirs of the voyage from “Santa Cruz
to California.” The bay of San Fran-
cisco was discovered in 1769 by several
French savants who came here to see the
transit of Venus. This party perished of
malarial fever near Point St. Lucas. The
Columbia river was discovered in 1775
by Heceta, a Spaniard.—San Francisco
Examiner.
Grief Stricken, of Course.
The woman who heats a kettle of water
to boil, and then sets it off on the floor and
goes upstairs to whitewash her bedroom
ceiling, leaving the baby to sit down in the
kettle, is always mentioned in the papers
as terribly grief stricken at the funeral. It
never occurred to her that an accidc:.1
could possibly happen. — Detroit Free
Press.
Main Cause of Cholera.
Cholera, according to The Times, has
invaded Genoa and Milan. The import-
ant fact, however, is pointed out that it
never establishes a foothold in an Italian
town when all impure sources of water
are cut off, and the town is supplied by
an aqueduct.—London Truth.
The Style is the Man.
Buffon, the great French naturalist,
before sitting down to his desk to compose,
always arrayed himself as if going to am
evening party. He said: “The style is
the man.”

In a West African Village.
One product, however, this parched
soil yields in inexhaustible abundance,
and that is dust. In every street, in
every square it lies piled ankle deep,
ready for the use of any wind that may
arise. The first gust that stirs this min-
iature Sahara ushers in a scene beyond
the power of words to describe. Wagons
and oxen loom through the driving storm
dim and spectral as nightmares. Ladies
hold down their veils or the curtains of
their litters with the grasp of desperation.
Foot passengers come charging blindly
past with lowered heads, pressing
shadowy hands to half seen faces, while
here and there and everywhere the view-
less tormentor leaps and dances like a
mocking demon, meeting you at every
turn with a scientific roundhand whirl
which sends the hot, prickly dust tingling
through every fold of your clothing,
making you as gritty as a matchbox from
head to foot and choking your breath till
you have not even the consolation of
cursing.—Africa Cor- New York Times.

GENUINE DIAMONDS FOUND IN
CANS OF TEA AND COFFEE.
The San Francisco Tea Company, of San Fran-
cisco, California, lias opened a branch store at No.
173 Market street, Gaiveslon, Texas. Their Teas
and Coffees are packed in paper cans; The Tea,
can and contents weigh about one and a half pounds
—the Coffee, can and Conteuts weighing about three
pounds.
With every can sold a souvenir is presented in the
can—such as solid Gold, Silver and Nickle Watches,
also genuine Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphi-es, Emer-
alds, Pearls and other jewelry of less value.
This company has adopted this method of adver-
tising their choice brands of Tea and Coffee, but
after twenty days they will be sold only on their
merits, at the same price, same quality, same quan-
tity, hut without the' souvenir, the goods being
worth the price asked at a fair valuation, w thout
any regard to the souvenir?.
This company has established forty-two branches
in various parts of the United States, none of which
are now giving the souvenirs in the cans of Tea and
Coffee, as the time has expired, yet each agent has a
large and rapidly growing trade, as the superior
quality of their goods become known.
We shall publish from to-day a partial list of those
who find valuable souvenirs in cans of Tea and
Coffee.
