ALL DRU GGISTS AND MEDICINE DEALERS SELL IT, 8 PLAYED CAT'S CRADLE POPULAR SOCIAL DIVERSION OF PYGMIES OF SOUTH AFRICA. Interesting Discoveries Made by That Enterprising Anthropologist, Prof. Frederick Starr of Chicago Univer sity, During His Recent Trip to the Very Heart of Darkest Africa. --Cannibalism Practiced. The eminent scientist, Prof. Fred- erick Starr of Chicago University, says that one of the most important results of his visit to the Congo re- gion of Africa was his discovery that the natives of that part of the world play the child's game of cat's cradle. The learned professor was in earnest too. His journey of 22,000 miles was no joke, and he took his life in his hands when he went into the heart of the African jungle. He wndertook the trip to study the pygmies of the Congo region, and he spent 15 months in his quest for information about these and other tribes of the dark continent, yet the distinguished an- thropologist declares, without a smile, that he found nothing which inter- ested him more than the fact that cat's cradle is the popular social di- version in the colored society of the Congo. Just why the professor at- taches so much importance to this circumstance he does not explain. We must wait, he says, till he makes his report on the subject. It is known, however, that anthropologists have built theories of possible relation- ships between peoples or the mingl- ing of races by tracing the history of familiar games through the centuries or the variations in a central idea of a game in widely separated nations. CONGO PYGMIES COMPARED WITH AMERI- CAN INDIAN. The professor is not the first ethno- logist who has noted the popularity of cat's cradle among primitive peo- ples. It is even said that pious mis- sionaries while waiting to be chop- ped up and boiled for dinner by dusky savages whom hey failed to convert have observed these simple-minded people killing the time before the feast by playing with loops of string and making the cat's cradles just as the very little folks do in Canada. Apropos of cannibalism it may be remarked that Prof. Starr found it to be practiced to a limited extent among the pygmies of the Congo. It would hardly be fair, however, to call it cannibalism of the same variety as practiced by the more savage tribes, says the professor. The pygmies do not kill other human beings in order to eat them, but sometimes eat the flesh of children or old people when they die. Cannibalism in times of famine is not peculiar to the tribes of Africa, but is found among many people. The Indians of this continent, who were not cannibals, asa rule, often in days gone by ate the hearts of captives taken in battle, the prac- tice being more in the nature oi an act of symbolism than of a feast, and having to do with their religious ideas Prof. Starr deems the natives of the Congo to be bright and intelli: gent. He visited more than twenty- six tribes of them and, on the whole, had a fairly good time among both the big and the little people of the country. The latter are not so dark as the larger mtives, and he thinks they are unrelated to the ordinary negroes and belong to a race which for many centuries, if not from its creation, has been distinct from the surround- ing peoples. On the Kafai and Batua rivers, where he spent the most time, they grow the smallest, from three feet ten inches to four feet two inches. The professor explored many of the tributaries of the Congo river and was the second white man to ascend one of them, the Oiku river. For some months after his departure into the African wilderness nothing was heard from him, and it was feared he might have fallen a prey to the cruelty of the people he went to in- vestigate, but in due time he turned up safe and sound, with the young Mexican, Manuel Gonzales, whom he adopted as a boy and who acts as hig photographer. The adventurous ethnologist is a bachelor and eéould therefore follow the leadings of his scientific study without causing anx. iety to a wife and family during his prolonged absence in the depth of the Congo jungles.

The names of popular dances have most cases a very interesting ori- gin or signification. The position taken up by the dan- the name to the quadrille, which is literal French for "a little square," while try dance has no connection with tic gymnastics, but is a corruption of the French danse, which has refer- ence to the tion of the couples op- posite to other during the dance The derived its name from the fact that this variation of the quadrille was originally improvised pany of lancers for their own Ahi while seated in their sad- les. . . The polka is a Polish dance, and its name comes from the Bohemian word polka, meaning half, and refers to the half step which occurs in this lively measure, of which the more graceful schottish is a variation, both names, like that of the national dance of Poland--the mazourka--being na- tive terms. ; The short aps Poeuliar to the old time favorite, minuet, gave the dance its name, the Latin for "small" being minutus. The waltz, , owes its name to its ch ¢ movement, the Ger- man waltsen, meaning to revolve, ex- pressing the eircling motion of the dancers. : The de Coverley is named after its originator, while the less fa- miliar dance known as the tarantella is so called because its vigorous move- ments were supposed to a certain antidote to the poison of a noxious spider at Taranto, in Italy, where the dance is hi ar. The evolutions of the dancer sui- ficiently explain the term reel. Jig is from the French gigue, and break- down is a term from across the At- lantic and refers to the final rout be- fore the breakup of a free and easy dancing party.--London Telegraph. Where Brides Are Hungry. How would a bride in this country care to fast on her wedding day until after the sacred ceremony, and this after enduring the hardships of a | farewell party given the day before? Yet this is what a Russian girl is sup) d to do. As the marriage, to fashionable, should not occur until evening, it may easily be imag- ined in what an exhausted state she is to commence her new period of life. Besides bridesmaids, there are bridesmen, these latter being obliged to present the bridesmaids with sweet- meats.
