An Annual Event Which is Preceded Ey Curious Preparations, Including a "Sacred Dance." HE Pueblo Indians of New T Mexico have an annual rab bit hunt which, a New York Post correspondent says, is a great ev)ut with them. It takes place with the appearance of the new moon in September. A sacred dance pre cedes tha hunt, for with the Pueblo Indian dancing is a form of worship as well as an amusement. The ceremonies of the annual rab bit drive are conducted by the shaman (medicine man) of i'ie village. Under his direction prayer plumes are planted around the village on the day pre ceding the hunt. These "prayers" are sticks, notched at one end, about a foot in length, with a tuft of feath ers tied on with a corn shred. Only feathers of the brightest plumage are used, as those of the woodpecker, blie-bird or red-bird. Black feathers are considered to bring bad luck. The feathers of a blackbird or of a raven are of ill omen, and if found in the possession of .any one he woutd be taken from the village and beaten to death as a witch. These "prayers" are planted at ;ntervals of about fifty feet in every direction for about a mile from the village. The distribu tors of them are first sprinkled by the shaman with sacred corn meal. The "prayers" are firE L planted to the east, and then to the nortb, south and west, and the myriads of plumes, seen on a plain, give a picturesque appearance, something like a field of vari-colored flowers, or a garden in bloom. In front of every Pueblo village, facing- to the east. is a shrine-a four or five-foot stone structure with two chambers. The shrine is topped with a smooth .tone. Into these chambers and around tha shrine are thrown the skulls and bones of rabbits killed at the hunt. At the next annual drive new bones are placed at the shrine. Each Indian engaged in the hunt is supposed to take from the shrine a charm in the shape of a bone of one of the rabbits, but in reality he has carved from stone a fetich resembling that part of the rabbit which strikes his fancy This is supposed to give him luck in the drive. Bundles of prayer plumes, inclosed in the sacred comJ.Jxusks, are placed in the shrine, and when tiie"ecremonial of each In dian hnnter taking he peculiar char in has ended, the shrine is elosed until the next annual drive. Each hunter places his charm around his neck, and then they all re pair to the estufa (church) for their worship dance. The Indian believes that this fetich gives him the cunning and swiftness that the rabbit pos sesses. After all have squatted upon the floor, the shaman gives to each a sacred cigarette, made of native to bacco, and rolled in corn husk. All smoke in silence. This is supposed to blind the red eyes of the rabbit so that his capture may be asured. When all have finished the shaman grunts, andL then pitches a tune in which all join. Strangly, there are no teno: or so prano voices among the Pueblo In dians, and as every man sings iin nearly the same strain, their mnusicis discor dant-if it can 1)0 classed as musio. About sundown, while the hunters are engaged in the preliminaries, the alguacil (high sheriff of the village) goes through the narrow and crooked streets shouting in a nasal tone that the hunt will take place the next ir,orn ing ; that the sham will lead, that he has selected twenty braves for the hunt, mentioning their names, and that the rabbit bunt dance wil! now begzin -eve rybody must come. What ever effect the cigaret-te smnoking~ an-l the sacred singing may have had in paralyzing the rabbits is certainly dis pelled by the dliscordant yells of this town crier. About dark the squaws build a fire near the door of the estufa, and then return to their huts-women not be ing permitted to enter the sacred es tufa, nor witness t.he ceremonies. The medicine man furnishes the spark for the fire by briskly rubbing together two sticks. This is considered sacred fire; if farnished otherwise it would be a profanation, and, besides, t.hey would not kill any rabbits. The Pueb los believe that the sacred fire rests in trees, and that it can be had only in this manner. At a signal from the shaman, which is a grunt, all rise and form in line facing the east-the shaman at the head. He first spi inkles the floor with corn meal, and then the men file before him, each receiving a sprinkling. The line has now formed as a crescent, opening to the cast. The dance be gins with a song, which is supposed to have the effect of so charming the rabbits that they cannot hear the ap proach of the bunter on the morrow. The dance is a slow promenade in sin gle file, with a hippity-hop step, and the chanting is equally monotonors. Two men in front carry coneave o~,urds in their left hands, over which they draw a notched stick. Those who have heard the raspings of a Chinese fiddle can have some idea of this ex footed and bareleggeJ, wearing only a patchwork of rabbit skin around the body. The breast is bare, with the. exception of a coat of red paint, de scribing the figures of rabbits. Dur ing the height of the music one of the dancers jumps into the middle of the room with a "Ho! Ho!" He imitates the jumping of a rabbit, and the man ner in which that animal is to be killed the next day by the successful hunters. This is received with many grunts of approval. The dance lasts until after midnight, or ends with the endurance of the dancers. The next morning at sunrise the hunters meet in the estufa, and after each has smoked a sacred cigarette, they mount their ponie3 and form a line facing to the east-the direction of the hunt. Each hunter has several weapons like boomerangs tied to his saddle by buckskin thongs. A grunt from the shaman, and they form into the shape of a crescent, opening at the east. Another grunt, and th,:e is a race to the point designated (wo, or three, or even ten miles dis. tant. Over the broad mesas they charge, hurling their boomerangs with almost unerring aim at the fleeing rabbits; now dismounting to baj their game. and off again with the speed of the wind. They know the haunts of the animals, and divide into groups to surround the likely fields, some routing up the rabbits, while others topple them over with the boomerang. The hant ends about sundown when the hunters ret-irn to the vil lage. each carrying upon his pony the game that he has bagged, in a sack made of rabbit-skins. Those who have not killed many have very little to say, as usual with unlucky huntsmen. As they approach the village, singing the song of the rabbit hunt, fires are seen just without the gate and near the shrine, and the chanting of wo men is heard. They have gathered to welcome the return of the hunters, and are re-echoing the song of the rabbit hunt. They meekly welcome the braves and follow them to the cacique's house, all singing. Each hunter presents to the cacique a choice rabbit-perhaps the largest of the catch-and after serenading him they depart to their respective huts, and each rrepares his own family feast. So the annual rabbit hunt is ended. The hunter eats the head of the rabbit he has killed. This is supposed to give him power to kill others. They roast the rabbits in adobe ovens, or stew them whole, with cornmeal, in earthen jars. It is considered bad luck to eat a rabbit when fried. The Upas Tree. During his recent stay in Java, Professor Wiesner ascertained some interesting particulars with reference to the celebrated Upas tree, Antiaris toxicaria. Contrary to the general impression that this tree is not un common in yTava and the Sunda I1l ands, an impression manifested by the statements in the leading text books, Professor WViesner learned that the original specimcn described by Leschenhault has been felleJ1, and in the whole of Java there were but three iLdividual trees belonging te the genus and closely allied to A. toxicaria. Of these three trees one was found by Dr. Gershoff to be innocuous, and was therefore A. innoxia, Blume, a species supposed by many botanists 'o b)e only a variety of A. toxicaria. The second tree proved to be poisonous, one drop of the latex being sufficient to kill a dog ; the third bas not been examined. The tree has, however, been culti vated in the botanical garden, and there are now in the plantation at Tj ikomoh about seventy specimrens. Neither in the botanical! garden nor in the plantation could any ill effects be o'oserved, even after a person hay ing been for some time in the neigh borhood of the trees; so the accounts of the poisonous nature of the exhala tions from it are much exaggerated. Dr. Burek has shown that the plant gives off no injurious vapors, and that the latex is poisonous only when it passes through a wound in the blood. -Scientific American. The Yacht Amierica To-day. It is pretty difficult to perceive in the old. mildewed craft tosstng mournfully on the water in front of the Chelsea Clubhouse any semblanc3 to General Butler's fast sailing schooner yacht America. Yet the old America it is, with its sea wings gone and its racing heels doubled and twisted by years of neglect ani inac tivity. The old sea pacer has the same boom and masts and the same dignified poise di the nose that made her a wonder in her triumphal days in the early seventies.

That quietude conduces to longevity seems to be demonstrate.1 by the rec ord of longevity in Philadelphia, a matter on which the city prides itself considerably. During the first half of this year the obituary columns of the Ledger contained death notices of 231 women and 180 men who had lived to or beyond the age of eighty years. Tue greater part of the deaths were of residents of Philadelphia. Thirty wo men and twenty-six men lived to or beyond the age of ninety years. The extreme ages reached were ninety nine years by one woman and ninety ix by three men. One colored man has a record all to himself. He was John Gibson, a well known character in Philadelphia, who died on Febru ary 21 at the Blome for Aged and In firm Colored People. He claimed to be 130 years old, but the most au thentic information made him out to be 117, which was accepted as being probably correct.--New York Sun. The Anstruse tortoise.

',eal Pie All Around. There is s 1)ie shop in London that Charles Dickens used to stand before when ws a child he drudged in a black ing factory. Every day, on his way to and from work, he paused to devoui viands with his eves, and sometimes, as he said, he pressed his tongue to the window panes, as if by doing that he got a ittle bit of a taste of the good things that lay so near, yet were so far beyond his reach. An American who admires Dickens hunted up this pie shop when he was in London in order to gratify senti ment and curiosity. It proved to be a mere box of a place in a poor quar ter of the city; but the original busi ness was still conducted there. A the traveler peered into the shalowy interior . voice piped at his elbov : "Please, sir, will you buy me a weal pie?" The owner of the voice was a small, diehevelled person, with whom a veal pie or any other kind would have agreed right well. The American re plied: "How many boys do you suppose that shop would hold?" "I dunno. About fifteen or sixteen, I should think." "Well, you go and get fifteen more boys and bring them back here." The boy studied the man's fa-e for a moment, as if to make sure he was in the enjoyment of his senses, then hurled himself into a side street with a yell. Hardly a minute elapsed be fore he returned, the head of a pro cession of sixteen gamins, assorted as to size and clothing, unanimous in appetito and hope. This ragged bat talion assembled close behind the ben factor, and follo.ved him precipitately into the shop, when he announced that he was going to give them all the pie they wanted. For a quarter of an hour the aston ished baker .served "weal an' 'am" pies, hand over hand to the sixteen astonished youths of. London. while - the American sat and watched the scene with hardly less astonishment. Few words were spoken, and the on slaught was as fierce and persistent while it lasted as the charge at Tel-el Kebir. The exhaustion of supplies brought the banquet to a close, and the traveler paid the score, thinking it little to pay in view ol the fun he had, while the boys tumbled into the street, cheering, and went to spread the news of this miracle through the it.nes of London. -Phila dephia Times. Strength of the Grizzly Bear. "The strength of black bears is wonderful, but that of grizzlies," says a California writer in the New York Sun, "is almost beyond the belief of persons who have never had proof of it. I have seen black bears frequently carrying the carcases of pigs that must have weighed more than sev-'-nty pounds several miles across a n in tain side of sharp rocks, and I i' ye heard bear hunters tell of bavir seen cows knocked down by a blow from the forepaw of a black hear. Three summers ago If was in the coast moun tains, up in Monterey County, and one moonlight nigtit there I saw a big grizzly she bear carrying a dead year ling cow home to her cubs. I had a position on a mountain side where I could see every movement of the bear in the sparsoly timbered valley below me. She carried the dead cow in her forepaws for at least. three miles, across jagged, sharp rocks, over fallen iogs, arouiid the rocky mountiin sides, where even a jackass could not get a foothold, to a nairow trail up the steep mountain. She never stopped to rest for a moment, but went right along. I followed her, and just about a half a mile from her lair I laid her out. The heifer weighed at least 200 pounds, and the bear would have tipped the b)eam, if I had had one there, at about 450 pounds. I have hEard of the remarkable strength of gorillas in Africa, but I don't see how any beast can surpass a grizzly for power and endurance." Scarcity of Laborers. It is an almost universal practice of farmers to plant a much larger area of land than they can possibly attend to until harvest time, and then there is a desperate struggle to save the crop. This is not only true with all crops like corn, potatoes, cotton and other kinds requiring attentioni dur ing the growing season, but grain which is left to itself from the time of sowing until it is harvested. Sowing more than they can reap is one of those habits into which farmers fall, per haps without knowing why, but it is not confined to any country, race or clime. News comes to us from South America that along the,. River Phute, while the weather is fine, dry and very favorable for ripening corn, the gathering is retarded hy the scare ity of labor for handling the great crop. The farmers planted a much larger acreage than they shou!d have done, and so find themselves crippled for want of held to gather the crop. -New York Sun.
