IN GYPSY FROLIC
Wild Knife-Dance Apparently En
joyed by Both Sexes.
Dangerous Piny to Wild Muile TM
la Supposed to Be ? Pre
lude to Nuptial*.
In. The Bucoleon Treasure," a '
novel by Arthur D, Howden Smith In
12 very body's Magazine, the following
account of u gypay knife dunce la
given :
She seized a blazing stick from the
Are and. ran round the circle, waving It
over her head until ahe came to where
Nlkku pat.
"Ho, (Slorgl Itordu ! You who do not
fear the knlfe-^-wlll you dance the
knife dance with me?"
Every eyo In the circle was Axed on
Nlkku, for to have refused her Invita
tion \\ould have been a deadly Insult,
equivalent to a declaration of enmity
toward her family and tribe. Similarly,
acceptance of It amounted to an ad
mission that ho considered her favor
ably as a wife, without definitely com
mitting him to matrimony.
Nlkka did not hestltate. He stepped
to her side. She slipped one arm round
his waist, and with the other swung
her torch until It showered aparka over
the circle.
"HI!" she cried.
"HI I" echoed Nlkka.
And they pranced round the Are
while the music began an air so fierce
ly wild that it made the blood tingle to
listen to It. Then she flung down her
torch and tore free from Nlkka's nrm.
He followed her. She eluded him.
Itound and round they tore, keeping
step the while. Now she accepted
him; now she rejected him. , At last
he turned from her, arms folded, con
temptuously unmoved. She wooed
him with rhythmic ardor. He denied
her. She drew her knife; he drew
his. Byes glaring, lips pinched, they
circled one another, feinting, striking,
leaping, posturing.
"Click !" The blade? "tr'JCk to*
gether.
"HI ! Ho P they cried.
"Click! Click! Click r went the
knife blades.
"Ho! Ho!" they shouted. .
The game was to see how near yon
could come without cutting. To avoid
hurt, the dancers required quick eyes
and agile bodies. The blades flashed
like meteors In the shifting light,
wheeling and slashing and stabbing. In
the beginning Kara forced the pace.
Nlkka retired before her, rather than
risk doing her harm. But slowly he
assumed the mastery. His knife was
always at her throat, and, active as
she, was, he refused to be shaken off.
She fended desperately, panting now,
bright-eyed and flushed. But he
pressed her. Their blades clashed, he
gave his a twist, and hers dropped
from her hand.
He seized her,, forcing her back
across his knee, knife upraised to
strike, while the Addles clutched at
one's nerves and the cymbals clanged
with wicked glee.
Mass Attack on Patient.
An interesting experiment which
may mark a new era In the history of
medical treatment, Is being tried at 80
Brook street, W. In view of Its ex
perimental nature, publicity was not
sought but the venture is too Interest
ing to hide, In the opinion of a Lon
don Answers writer.
The scheme is to secure the advan
tages of a board of medical experts In
one house, where patient* may be ex
amined and have a diagnosis of the
whole board's opinion. That Is to say,
they do hot depend upon the opinion
of one man, but have their cases dis
cussed after their visit by fourteen
specialists, representing various
branches of the medical profession.
When the patient's trouble has been
diagnosed a report is sent to the pa
tient's family doctor, with advice as to
treatment.
The waiting room of this miniature
Harley street is a cheerful room, the
walls and curtains being pale prim
rose, the carpet a warm gray, and the
furniture carried out tile blue brocadfe.
Old copies of "Punch" are barred.
Thus the trembling patient goes to his
consultation In a spirit of good cheer.
Plants Live to Oid Age.
That common herbaceous plants can
live to a great age is proved by the
record of Mr. F. J. Allen of Cambridge,
who has a fern over 00 yeara old.
About 1872 he found his specimen on
the Mendip hills, he Informs Nature,
and transferred it to his father's gar
den, where it has flourished ever since.
In 1917, as it was in danger of being
choked by surrounding shrubs, Mr.
Allen transplanted his fern, and It is
now as vigorous and as young In ap
pearance as the original plant 50 years
ago. As the plant was of unknown
sge when found, and looks no older
after 50 years, Its capacity for life
seems indefinite.
Gypsy Moth Coetly Visitor.
The gypsy moth, which has been ad
vancing through the New England
states at a rate of twenty-five .or

this country more than $20,000,000 for
control work alone.

TWO OCCUPATIONS FOR MAN
One to Work With and the Otior for
His Diversion, Is Opinion of
, Philosopher. <
"Ulrard'' in the 1'hWHdelphla Inquirer.
l)r. John 11. Jopboit's other occupa
tion is fishing, WlifQ clils eiulip?ut aur
geon wah slashing; u.ound (fit* other
day with a new tro.ul rod It reminded
J. Sto'dgell Stokes of u story 'to prove
that the biggest ttsh Is not always
hooked hy the most expensive tackle.
Stokes and other Haverford Colle
gians thought It would he nice when
the late President Sharpies* was about
to retire to give hint the finest bass
rod, reel and line that could be bought
The old scholar was duly grateful and
accompanied by Mr. Stokes elected to
christen his gift in a Jersey water
where bass are almost as plentiful as
the mosquitoes on shore,
A barefoot native lad watching
open-eyed at the unfolding of the
beautiful rod, whispered to Mr.
Stokes :
"The butcher won't sell much meat
tomorrow. '*
Nothing, however, that l>r. Sharp
leas could do would coax a fish to take
the hook. Then the lad, waiting in
silence for an hour, gravely cut a
switch from u tree, rigged up a lino,
took a rusty hook from his pocket,
dug ah angleworm and without com
ment proceeded to tlsh.
You have already guessed the
sequel, Tho boy soon had a string of
bass, while the scholar and his friend,
H man of high business qualities,
caught not one.
HAVE HIGH NUTRITIVE VALUE
According to Bureau of Fisheries, Sea
Mussels Are Not Appreciated as
They 8hou|d Be,
Officials of the bureau of fisheries
declare that sea-mussels are, in a high
degree, both patatabte and nutritious.
The bureau goes farther and says that
in view of the abundance of the mus
sels and the ease with which they can
be obtained, the neglect of thein for
table use is wasteful. It points out
that sea-mussels are found along the
coasts of nearly all the northern half
of the northern hemisphere, and that
there are beds on the New England
coast so extensive that the mussels
could be collected dally by the ton.
It adds that mony persons consider
the flavor of the mussel superior to
that of the oyster; that, moreover,
mussels are In season when the oys
ter Is out of season, and that they
are more easily cultivated than the
oyster. It admits that fresh mussels
are most difficult to market, for they
spoil If kept more than 24 hours, but
asserts that If canned or pickled they
retain their natural flavor for months.
The bur^u recommends that such
cheap and nutritious food be placed
on the market.
Studies Ancient Graces.
Prof. J. J. Horner, archeologist of
the University of Oregon, who has
visited what is believed to be the
burial ground of an ancient tribe of
mound builders, near Albany, Ore., has
pronounced the place one of the won
ders of primitive Oregon. He said the
finds made by Claude Peacock, a farm
er, represented a higher type of civ
ilication than previous discoveries In
that section. f
Professor Horner said the carvings
on mortars, the stone pipe and other
objects were examples of the highest
type of stone workings found In graves
of mound builders. He said the dis
coveries Indicated that these mound
builders, who antedate the Indians,
had the same religion as the sun wor
shipers of Mexico.
Improved Water Wheel.
A floating water wheel has be6n
patented by an inventor in Prieska,
South Africa. This invention is a great
revelation, and promises to revolution
ise methods of raising water for Irri
gation purposes, generating electricity,
etc. A large model Is undergoing Its
trial in th? Orange river, and it Is ex
pected that its final adjustments will
shortly be complete, wherf the wheel
Will be given an exhaustive trial. T*ie
invention is so constructed that it can
rtse or fall with the level of the
stream, delivering water through hose
pipes or through a revolving universal
rod structure. It can float in the wa
ter or rest on firm soil, according to
the depth of the streem, and automat
ically disposes of all obstacles drifting
against it.
8lap at Modern "Education."
During the ordinary medical college
course the average student is "edu
cated" In a way to deprive him of his
native common sense, and to unfit him
far study along natural lines, that It
requires half a lifetime of busy prac
tice to undo the mischief of it ? Dr.

Ruby Vslued st $00,000.
The largest perfect ruby In the
