to 8#y rowan,
people this race ii
ti myth and n Ac
tion. The whole
nationality, for in
many respects they are a separate na
tionality, seem to be shrouded by a mist
of uncertainty.
About tho Pennsylvania Dutchman
there linuers not a trace of sentiment,
not a vestige of poetry. Ho livo.«a. ho
has for a century, obscure, jet, Serene,
paying no attention to the outside world
and receiving none in turn. His ambi
tion in lifo is to have a small farm and
enough to eat, moro than that doesn't
fntere.t him unless it be that he would
like to leave when I10 dies a farm to each
of his sous with jut n mortgage. If there
is anything a Pennsylvania Dutchman
bates it is a mortgage.
These quaint people liavo lived for
more than a century in various portions
of Pennsylvania. They huve no written
langungc whatever, and many of tho.n in
fact in some communities the largo mu-
joiity can neither read, write or speak
English. Their own garbled tonguen,
which is a cross between tho so-called
high German, low German and English,
is suflicient to answer all their demands
for communication.
Among them there are a number of
peculiur religious sects whoso strange
creeds and customs arc a marvel to the
uninitiated.
One of the most poculiai among them
is the Ornish. The personal appearance
A rjCNNSTLVANIA TJtJTCII PAMII.Y,
of these people is certninly very striking.
The dressos of the women are ns plain in
their appearance as they can possibly lie
made. Always of some dark materinl,
they tire made without any trimming and
aro not relievod by any trace of color.
In tbu house ull the female members of
the family woar a plain white cup that
envois up the ears and is tied under the
chin, giving tho young girls tho appear
ance of youthful grandmothers. No
jewolry of any. kiud is ever uied as a
means of personal adornment, for, say
they, ndormnent loads to pride and van
ity, which are torrlblc sins. For ilia
same reason buttons are not used to
fasten any article of apparol oitlierby the
men or woinou. Hooks and eyes are em
ployed iustoud. Even shoo buttons aro
discarded, aud lace shoes or congress
gaiters arc always worn wlion they wear
any siloes.
The men aro oven more striking In ap
pearance than the women. They wear
their hair so lung that it falls below
their coal collars, and is cut evenly
around the head, whilo over the forehead
it is '‘banged."
“'The Ornish, as do most or the Pounayl-
vania Dutch, have the most fantastic!;
.idea of color. Ono farmhouse, which is
regarded by tho neighbors us thu most
beautiful in the country around, is
painted a most gorgeous pink, with
black trimmings and green shutters.
These people regard it as a great sin to
.read anything that borders on Action.
No novels are tolerated In their houses.
Their library Hold consists of the Bible,
historical books and newspapers.
( The Ornish hold their religious services
at varying intervals, sometimes ouce in
two weoks, but oftoucr their meetings
are further apart. They have no rogu-
larly installed ministers. They elect at
intervals one of their own numbers to
net in that capacity for a stated term,
uud when his time expires Home one else
is chosen. Tho minister is almost al
ways one of the most prosperous farmers
in the congregation, but his ministerial
duties do not interfere with his lay occu
pation.
srOtnBM atta sisters arranges in » aemt-
ilrcle. Tho women wearing their white
laps and the men with their long hair,
with solemn, almost Bid faces, presented
l remarkable pieturo. On a table In the
ntddln of the group is placed a largo
>owl of what looks and smells very much
ike plain, ordinary soup. Each one eats
i little out of this bowl, and then after
tome singing and prayer, basins of water
tnd towels wore brought, aud then in
am the feet of eaoh Were washed by an-
Ither, tho greatest solemnity prevailing
hroughout the whole ccreniorty.
A TYPICAI. OMISn MAID.
A SUMMKIl FESTIVAL.
Another of the remarkable sects that
wish among the l’ennsylvauia Dutch
the Duukards. These people are iu
i*y respects like the Ornish, but their
in of worship is the most peculiar uud
nteresliug part of tlu-ir religion. They
lire sometimes rallcd ’l'umblers,because of
icii practice, when baptizing a eouvert,
to have him kneel and then push him
head first into the water. Like the
Quakers, the Dnnkards are very simple in
their language. They wit! not take an
sat!), neither will they tight or go to go
sw, and until very recently they were
sot allowed to receive any interest on
money loaned. It is their “love feasts,"
however, tlist are most singular, if
sot picturesque. Their meetings occur
(uartcrly, and are always atteudeo by
'a-! crowds of curious people.
I p iu front of the pulpit lit the
The Pennsylvania Dutchman cannot
he Bald to be gifted with a keon intel
Icct. Homo of thorn when they aro
young go perhaps to school for u year or
Iwo, but the rest of their iutellcctual
training is received on the farm.
The social customs of the Pennsyl
vania Dutch are so positivo that they
caDnot be passod ovei without some
notice. No young nlan ever calls on a
girl unless he's “goln’ a courtin’.”
If he meitns business ho usually dresses
up in his best on Bnturduy afternoon,
gets cut his buggy that lias been washed
for the occasion, hitches up his horse
ind drives to the home of his host girl's
father. Tho old man and all Ids sons
upon hie approach- rush out “pul up”
the horsu and tho stranger Is invited in
to stay to supper, which usually consists
of fried ham and potatoes and pic, which
iattor Is tho stall of lifo among the Ponn-
lylvania Dutch.
After supper the whole family gathered
In the sitting room and talked crops anil
gossip about the neighbors. About nino
o’clock the family withdraws and leave
tho two lovers to do their courting all
done. The call doesn’t last till ten,
sloven or oven twelve o'clock, but tho
roung tnnn, If lie is properly trained In
itiipietto, will drive off just ns the sun
oogins to uppear above the bills. This
s what they call “sittin up with a girl,"
md a man who can't oontinue Ids call
intil morning Is not regarded as being
titlu-r a very ardent lover or a very no-
toptable suitor.
With all their peculiarities and oc-
icntrleitics, however, tho Pennsylvania
Dutchman make good citizens. They
tre as a rule sober and industrious and
moral.
They don't know much about (tie
glorious privilege of American citizen
ship, but tlioy are loyal and honest, aud
If they can’t speak English it isn't be-
tnuse they pay a greater allegiance to
mother country.
Honor Columbus mnl Cinzano.

covery of America by Columbus, and

The Fatuous “Untor don Mnden."
It is the widest street of the capital
(Berlin). Ill the middle there is a broad,
unpavod,but excellently eared for prom
enade, bouudod ou oue side by a riding
path, and upou the other by a stone
paved road, designed particularly for
heavy vehicles that might interrupt
traffic. Enclosing this central avenue
aud tho two side ones are four rows of
liudens, which have given tho street its
name. But you must not think of the
huge, wonderful lindens of our Northern
Germany. The old trees have suffered a
gieat deal from time and the hostile in
fluences of a groat city, especially from
the gus—always fatal lo vegetation—
and they are now a very shabby, mean
and melancholy sight. The electric light
lias here for some years dispossesse I its
rival, and gleams -town Irom tall, beau
fully shaped posts, that are really urn a

rows of liudens there are two more road
ways,asphalt on one side aud excellently
paved upon the other, and also a broad

street has consequently seven divisions—

Holding Infants Oaf In theOold Ralnl
to Cure the Measles—A Doctor’*'
Diagnosis ttt Siam
N O matter how much bl how lit-]
tie encouragement missionaries!
meet in spreading the Gospel,
(y among heathen, their efforts to*
Introduce science are nearly always]
crowned with success. The worshiper,
of idols or the follower of Mahomet will]
resent any effort on your part to interfere]
with his idea Ot a fUture life’, but It ybii
fcsrl sho^r him anything which he con-'
eiders will ameliorate his present condl-;
tion, ho is eager to adopt it. Anil the'
btanch of science which appeals to him
more quickly than any other, perhaps,!
is tho healing art, medicine, surgery.
Missionaries all over the world have!
grasped this Idea no#; fbr experience]
hits taught them that all doors are open-
to the doctor.
Iu one of the central provinces of In-!
dia not long ago measles broke out amongi
the natives shortly after the arrival of
two women missionaries from America.
Children were soon dying in such num-]
hers that the missionaries Wished they
had Ibuhicd something about medicine
be ore they came. They knew, howover,
that children with measles should be kept’
warm and not allowed to run any risk 1
of catching cold. The mortality caused
by so simple a disease, as tlioy had known'
it, astounded them, and they made in
quiries as to how the little patieute were
treated. It was in the rainy season, and
they found that these poor peopld
thoilght the host way to cure measled
was to strip the babies perfectly naked,'
and bold them out in the cold rain till]
tho water should wash all the measles
eruption off the skin, No wonder they
died. A fatal chill struck the frail,'
fevered, little body, and the mother
could only moan and beat herself in de
spair.
In Siam, when one fails sick, the doc
tor’s diagnosis of the disease is a serious
mnttor. He generally comes with hi*'
mind fully made up that the patient is
possessed of an evil spirit. Td Arid Jiist
whtero tho booy this evil spirit lies is the
diagnosis. The doctor takes a tiger's
tooth from his pouch. The tooth is a
long caniuo one, sharpened to a needle
point. This he jabs into the sink man
in various spots. If the sick man yells
with pain moro loudly when he is punc
tured here than he docs when is punc
tured there, then the evil one lurks here.
Preparations are made ta drive him out,
bill generally the patient’s spirit deserts
fhe tortured body before tho Imaginary
one.
In Africa a yoiirig missionary, who
Wortt out from this citv some time ago,
penetrated far into tho interior, where no
white limn had over been seon before.
Tho tribe hud a curious tradition that
some day a white man would come to
them and do wonderful things for them.
So they built a hut, the best kind they
knew how to construct, to havo it ready
for thu paleface when he should arrive.
Whet) this ardent youtlg Americau sud-
dently appeared one day, they welcomed
him with opbn arms. To say that he
was surprised, is putting it mildly. The
same dny two women catno to him, each
with a child in her arms, and besought
him to cure them. He looked st tho
Imbcs and found they woro dead. He
told them lie could do nothing for ileal
babes, aud thereby st once fell off con
siderably iu their estimation. He asked
wbnt hud been done for the children,
and was told that tlielr bodies had beon
scored with sharp stones to let the evil
spirit nut. Ho counted on one little
body 400 cuts, aud then there were more,
Those mothers loved their chtlclron pas
sionately. Fancy whnt pain they under
went while inflicting agony on tbeif
babies in the vniD hope of doiug them
good.
Some idea of the manner In which
lunatics uro treated may be gained from
tho following thrilling narrative. Mrs.
Peoples writing from Siam, says:
“Two of their number boearae crazy,
and as was their superstitious cU9tom,
they were tied up for a time, but as they
grew no better they were taken out and
buried alive, in spite of their cries and
pleading. There are thousands and
thousands bouud in just such horrible
superstitions all around us."
Another writer from Korea, to “The
Medical Missionary Record,” says
“Tho astonishment of the native
doctor is quite oquul to that of the pationts
wheu the foreign surgeons coolly and
carefully severs flic living tissues with
his keen knife or unites them with ueedle
and silk. 1 was intensely amused last
week by the open-mouthed wonder of a
group of soldiers and chair-bearers who
stood about tho door of my drug-room
to are me tie a spurtinz artery and bring
together tho gaping edges of a wound
incurred by one of their comrades.
Equal interest and amazemout aro dis
played upon every use of my pocket-case.
Almost every wound brought to me td
dress has been previously plastered with
mud or with some powder supposed to
possess healing properties, and my first
step in treatment must be to dense the
part of its filthy incumbrances. The
sight of blood for which lie is responsible
quito unnerves the Koreau, and he looks
with awe upon (he toruierity of the
foreigner, who works rn coolly smid in
creasing streams of the red liquid which
lie himself draws and which he seems
able to stanch at will.
“So it is that the Koreans have un
bounded confidence in foreign surgical
skill. They believe that we are quite
capable of miracles and Hre amazed when
we refuse to perform them. Not long
-nice a mau came 200 miles in order that
might place new eyes in his empty
-ockets, aud would not be put off with
•lie first assurance of its impossibility. I
ive been asked to restore withered
i inds, sightless eyes, limbs deformed
- om childhood, fractured bones united
i malpositions, and to remove countless
cars and facial blemishes of various de
scriptions.
“So much confidence was lelt in mv
surgical skill that I was allowod last
mouth to attempt the removal of a needle
iiroken oil in tin- palm of a woman of
i -ink. The baud was passed through an
i iwrture in a screen, and held by her
i- (band, while I s.xt on the floor beside
Ion aud wiel led the scalpel, it was
- I'uioal to see the puzzled faces of her
: vo sons as they saw me draw blood
-ely, and heard her declaration that
ic felt no pain, because of the cocaine

A none With an Eye to Rnilnes*.
There is an old, raw boned, spavined
gray hnrse that stands over on Canal
street, near Randolph, evory day, and
what he doesn't know nboutoats and the
express business it Would not be worth
While for A holt that cdUtemplates haul

The corner of the streets is a sort ol
Waiting place for expressmen, aud a
dozen wagons may be found in line there
daily. The wagon at the head of the
line secures the first business that comes
in sight, and when it moves away, as
only express wagons can; th* others
move tip, the wagon that went ot! taking
• place on the end of the line when it

Yesterday the old gray hnrse was
fourth in line. Tho first wagon was
hired, and tbs driver left bis companions
who were, as usual, congregated on tho
tnruer, apd drove off Horses No3. Stand
3 promptly moved up without having ah
informal invitation from their respective
owners. The old gray never moved, lie
was quietly munching his oats from a tub
on the sidewalk. The horse behind him,
a dilapidated-looking bay, began to grow
restless and poked his hsad over the end
Of the Old gray's wagori After due cod
Mdoidtion be came td the conclusion tho
old gray had no inteulioti ot moving

at a slow trot and took the vacant place

at a glance that something was wrong.

standing beside the old bay that took ini
placo. He commenc-4 to bite at him,
and tried to make hi a back, but it was
no use, He was bound not to be
cheated, however, and he quietly
marched along and took s plica at tho
head of the line. Just, then a call came,
and the old gray started of! with a neigh

Reckoning Time by the Stars.
The astronomers at the National Ob
seivatory, Washington, do not calculate
timo by the sun, but by the “fixed” stars,
which are so “fixed" on account of being
so far away from the earth that in some
instance,l they do not change their rela
tive positions to our little planet in years.
Tills being the case, the ultra-exeat as
tronomer remarks that star time is the
only true timo to go by. In calculating
“stcr time’* the Observers use a large
sized telescope And watch for A given stat
to cross the plAne of A certain known
meridian. As the star crosses the ob
server records it to the moat minute frac
tion of a second, using a star time clock
with a twenty-iour hour dial for that pur
pose. Tlie clock and the star may or m»y
not correspond, but the simple fact makes
no difference to the Star gazer, who is re
nowned for till ability for Using A half n
bundled figures for expressing the die
taneo Ih miles to h!a so celled “fixed"
clock regulators. Tho error, should cine
be detected, although it is but the twen
tieth of a sccon', Is corrected later un.
In his next calculation, computation and
operation, the observer reduces the time
ns shown by his star clock so that it cor
responds with sun time, which is no small
mnthomakicat feat, especially wbsn we
take into consideration the fact that the
sidereal or star year is about one full day
longer than the solar or sun year. A
“standard" time clqck staUds near the
timepiece whose regulator iB the stars,
and tho amount of variation between tho
two is calculated, aud the next instant
vxnct time is transmitted all over the
laud. A Washington writor, who knows
whereof he sp9»ks, says that it takes
twenty-one weeks to properly regulate
and test the ohronoraetors used by tbs
Navy Department of the United States.
During these tosts they aro subjected to
every kuown degree of heat and cold
with which they are at ail likely to ooms

“Tho composition of a really popular
song, ono that catches t.he fancy of the
classes and masses, is a feat that is gov
ornnd more by luck than knowledge,"
recently remarked a well-known music
publisher.
“From a literary point of view tho
majority of successes in this lino are
atrocious, wtiile their sentiment—if they
are of tho sentimental order—is gener
ally inclined to bo both iusipi t an i
mawkish.
“A well.written piece of verse, con
veying nu unconventional soutimental
idea, would have about oue chance iu a
thousand to succeed. The quality of
tho entire composition must lie moder
ately bad,viewed from a high-class staml
jpoint, but exactly h-»w bad only the
'fates can decide.
“In comic songB that catch on original
jideas are absolutely necessary, though
any humorous ballad in which the char
iacters aro knocked down and dragged
out with great frequency appeals strongly
to the popular fancy.

of money from their composiF^ns. Tho

work.
“Blit it is like gambling in a way, and
the knowledge that some day they may
stumble ou a song that will bring them
fortune it not fame—for nobody ever
remembers the author of a popular song
—keeps them at it. And it’s almost s
leertninty that they’ll never be able to re

“August
Flower”
“ For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, aud was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food On the rec
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. Itseem-
ed to do me good at once I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like a new man. and consider
that August Flower has cured me.”
