INDIANS REVERE MOUNT MISTI
Volcano Located in the Peruvian
Andes Haa Ancient Ruins
' in Its Crater.
The Indians thereabouts worship the
mountain of Ulill, In the Peruvian
Andes, with- much reverence, regnrd-
ing it as the source of the garth-
quakes which have often In past dajr*
laid the neighboring villages in ruins.
The superstitions regarding the
mountain date from ancient times,
says the Detroit News. The ruins of
ancient temples have been found with-
in the crater of the volcano and near
the top there haa been placed a great
cross where. In 1677, a party of Span-
ish priests exorcised the mountain and
prayed that It would not erupt again
and ruin the land.
Harry L. Foster, a “tropical tramp,”
as he calls himself, says that on the
road that posses below th* base of the
mountains there are (in 1912) two
heaps of stones about $ half a mile
*P*rt. and that the Indiana who pass
that way religiously carry a Rone
/from one and place It on the other,

Jfcep-tappeese the mountain for their
insolence in approaching no near its
I sacred person. . . .
i Since there are about as .many
people passing one wsy as the other,
the pitas of stones are h$pt approxi-
mately of equal aise.—Detroit Mows.

PUPPET SHOW HELD IN JAVA

Vayang or Theater Embraces Ail
Arts of Island—Have No Paint-

Farther back than recorded history
the puppet form of drama existed in
•Tuva. The “vayang.” or theater, of
the Javanese includes all other arts
as well; they have almost no paint-
ing or sculpture except the carving
rnd painting of their marionette pup-
pets for the ancient temple—sculpture
of Java Is of Hindu and not Javanese
origin. Javanese literature consists
mu inly of the books from which the
subjects of the •‘vayang- plays are
taken.
Javanese music Is the “gamelsn,"
mi orchestra of various Instruments,
which accompanies “vayang.” The
iimst ancient form of “vayang” la the
“vayang purva.” which In Java can
ho traced back to the Seventh cen-
tury. but probably la much older.
The word “vayang" means “shad-

A big hawk—n sight unusual to city

Few noticed the Incident. The
hawk after some moments of senrcTf'

hidden from view, and a moment after*

Give Children Short Names.
Parents should not give their chil-
dren long names. If a child Is named
EpaphrodUus Bartholomew Hol-
combe-Smtth, Jr., and If he survives
such an appellation, he will probably
lose what will amount to three years
of his life la wrlUog his full name on
those frequent occasions when It be-
comes necessary. Furthermore, par-
ents should give a daughter only one
name; then whda she marries, she
can preserve the family name be-
tween her. ChriaUon and her hus-
band's last name. When I was a boy,
1 knew a gtri named May Day. Such
a name closely approaches perfec-
tion; think of tbe time saved In writ-
ing checks end on other occasions! It
I* ®l*e herd on a child to give It a
name that, few can either pronouuce
w spsll: the victim has to spend a
large slice of his life answering ques-
tions and making explanations. A
name is an Individual's only label,
the only thing standing between him
and absolute oblivion. Children are
at the mercy of their purents In this
as In so many other ways.—Scribner's

Brides Weep Eight Days.
The Ruhuniu tribesmen In Uganda,
central Africa—literally in the heart
of the world—are the wildest and
most uncivilised people of the world.
They have unusually peculiar cus-
toms. Perhaps the most interesting
of these Is the manner in which a
bride is supposed to conduct herself
before her marriage.
To begin with, a bride is literally
dragged away from her home hy her
husband. ller family ties a rope !
around her leg and hold fast ui her.
Then the bridegroom pulls as hard
ns he can. If lie cannot succeed In
overpowering the strength of Ids
bride’s family they weaken their hold
i on the fetter and tnnke it appear that
the husband has won his tug-of-whr. I
Then the victorious bridegroom
takes his bride to the home of his
mother. The most passionate weep-
ing Is done by the bride. She cries
for eight days without stopping.—De-
troit News.
