man body (and Indeed every animal
body) Is lurgely ruadu up of salt. If

THE VOODOO IN HAITI.
Human Sacrifices to tho God of the
8rpnt.
There is ample proof that human be
lli k hove been offered as sacrifices to
the god of the serpent In Haiti. A
I-'reucb ntvhUxliop of the Island dc
Hcrlhes a visit made by one of the
priests to a voodoo nMHcmhly. The
man had dl?R'ilMM himself as a negro.
ii nd he was thus able to tuluglo unde

otitxlde the Mucrcd circle. After the
white cock and white gout bad been
statu and offered up and their blood
had been xprlnkled on the company a
burly yotme negro came forward .and
prostrated himself before the prlesteas
Then, stlJl kneeling, be made hi
prayer:
"O mamuu. I have a favor to ask of
thee."
"Whnt Ih It. my son?" said the
ncgren encouragingly.
"Wilt thou not give us, to complet
tho sacrlilce, the goat without boms?'
' The pricHtcHH gave a sign of assent
Tho crowd roundabout separated, and
there was revealed n child sjttlng with
Its feet bound. The French pries!
rushed away In Kcarch of assistance In
preventing the unholy rite, but the
authorities ou whom ho called were
strangely slothful. When finally, on
tho day following, they arrived at the
place of assembly, they found the

Whtn Men Hurry.
"Singular," said a man waiting for
train on an elevated railroad platform
and looking down a street to where a
hundred men and boys had gathered
around two wagons that bad come to
gether lu collision, "there are a hun
dred men standing around those two
wagons, Just staudlng there, gawping,
apparently with nothing else to do
ami not In a bit of a hurry, but let any
otic of those men come up the stairs
to this platform when there Is a train
coming In and he'd rush and hurry and
tear himself apart to catch that train
and get glum If he missed It, though
he knew very well that there'd De on
other tralu here In a minute. Let him
nibs a train by a second and he
thinks the world Is coming to an end;
let him see somebody hoisting a safe
up the outside of a building and be
will stop and waste half an hour.
"How do you account for that?"

Mmi. de Struvs's Wit.
Secretary Blalno had said of Mme,
de Struvo that slio was the brightest
woman he had ever met, and every
body who knew her agreed with this
verdict. Iler knowledge of English
was remarkable, even for a Russian,
and her sallies wore famous. For In
stance, the day when Secretary Bay
ard was mado head of tho American
diplomatic service his daughter, Miss
Kate Bayard, said laughingly to a
young secretary of legation, "Remem
ber, I am now daughter of your chief!"
to which came, quick ns a flash, the
retort from Mme. do Stmve's lips,
"Oh, wo all know that you are nilss-ehlef!"-Army

"I give a little reception next Thurs

"Bef I go sere simply as a musician,"
was the reply, "und blny my selectlous
