Customs of (lie Coroans.
Tho lioniu-lifo of tho Corenns is
said to be In mrst things a poor copy
of the C'lilnctc. Tho dross of the
Coroans Is the Bauie as that worn
by the Chinese before tlieMnnchu
conquest, which made the pigtail
obligatory us a sian of submisiou.
The only sign of worship seen are
wisps of straw and bits of cloth lntn'g
in the doorways to delude the devil
an 1 Uiep oil evil sp rits. A trace of
the old dragon worship exists hi
t'.eir toleration of snakes, and it h
impossible to get a Coram servant
to kill the snakes that drop from
the mud roof and slip out of the crev
ices in the walls. Until the anival
of the American physVians. the
King and Queen of Coroa had a per
fect army of necromancers and wiz
ards in attendance upon them, and
these were always consulted in
matters of btate policy as well. On
a certain day in June, tho strict se
clusion of the women is relaxed, and
they may go anywhere with uncov
ered faces; the homes of foreign
residents are then visited by thou
sands of curious women. Demorest
Monthly.
A Singular Cat.
Will Harttu of Ited Bluff has a
peculiar cat; that is a cat Avilh pecul
iar alieetions, her peculiarity being
that she had adopted a grey squirrel
as one of her family. She gave birth
to a family ot five kittens a short
time ago, and three of them were
killed. The scmhrel was then put
with the two remaining kittens, and
it seems jubt as much at home as
when out in the woods. It allows
the kittens, to scramble all over it.
and greets its udopted mother very
effusively when she appears in the
box where the fainilv reside. The
foster mother suckles the squinel
as she does her kittens, and when
the little fellow scampered out on
the fence the other day she quickly
followed, and catching the truant
by the back of the neck, took him
back Ainto the box. The squirrel is
about half grown, and is'at perfect
liberty to go and come at will, but
it verv seldom leaves the box.
How IUder Hffeganl Travels,
ltider Haggard, the novelist, will
visit Persia and surrounding coun
tries unattended. Ho is an experl
w enced traveler and is used to the
ways of the Orient. When lie starts
off on an expedition like the one he
now contemplates he buys a small
dog to accompany him. This is the
only weapon he takes with him.
Ho claims that the carrying of fire
arms is apt to awaken hostility
among straugeis. He devotes him
self to winning the affection of his
dog, and says that a faithful canine
companion is the best thiug a man
can have for a long journey.
A Well of Pure Turpentine.
Savannah, Ga., May 18. It is
reported from Laurens county that
a well has been found there from
which pure spirits of turpentine is
drawn. Tho well is sixty feet deep,
and it is claimed that fifteen barrels
turpentine was drawn from it at one
time. Tho question is whether there
is a natural reservoir or has the well
been salted with tho manufactured
product.

DEALERS IN
Tho talk of giving Grayer Cleve
land tho democratic nomination for
tho, presidency in 1892, brings out
the fact that tho democratic party
"has never nominated for tho presi
dency but one defeated candidate.
That was Jackson. Defeated In 1821,
both before the people and the house
of representatives, he was nominated
In 1828 ami elected. Van Buren,
defeated In 1840, was refused a renom
iuationiu 1844. Cass defeated in
1848, was refused a renomiuation in
1852. Even Tilden, defeated in 1870,
as his frionds claimed through fraud
and with tho strangest claims on
his party that a man could luve,
was refused a renomhmtion in 1880.
A party of workmen, while ex
cavatlug an Indian mound near
Buffalo, N. Y., a few days ago, dug
up a lot" of skulls which, from their
peculiar formation, indicate that the
aboriginal American to whom they
belonged must have been very little
higher intellectually than the ape.
The,eyebrovs were on a level with
the top of the head, and there was
no forehead whatever. No Imple
ments or ornaments were founds but
a closer search would doubtlehs (lis.
cover the accoinpanylug canes and
monocles.
Petitions ore heiug circulated in
Missouri asking the governor of
Minnesota to pardon tho notorious
Younger brothers now confined
In the stat prison at Stillwater
while a dozen or mure counter .peti
tions from prominent men in Mis
souri and Arkansas have been pre
sented to Governor Merriam asking
him to pay no attention to the pe
tition or Interfere In any wiy with
the life sentence.
