" "I don't doubt they are very nice , " added uncle Gaston , with a patronizing kindness that was gall and wormwood to poor Letty. She flung the blue asters and colored leaves indignantly on the floor and hur ried from the room with blazing cheeks. "I won't bu treated like a child !

M. ) i orrespondcncc of Kansas City Times. The Indityn dance is not merely a pleasant yastiuie for the light-hearted and frivolous to engage in. It is a reli gious rite a prose poem. It perpet uates the history as well as religion of the Indian. It is a drama , a lyrical representation of important events in the history of a rude and uncultivated people that have no better means of perpetuating their deeds than through traditionary recitals and common folk lore. lore.Zuni Zuni Gushing tells me the cochita dance has 125 different representations. The movement is grand , ancl it requires days of preparation. Not 50 perhaps not a dozen white men have ever seen it danced. The Indians will not repeat it except at stated intervals- the rea son that it is a part , and the most com memorative part , of important religious ceremonies. Gushing himself , though he is a war chief , and recently admitted to the sacred order of the Bow , could not induce the Zunis to repeat this dance in publicjat the Tertio-Millennial anni versary. v. Through the officers of the association he offered the , Indians 100 silver dollars if they would dance the cocfiita , but they persistently refused. There are many dances common , to all the .tribes , but most _ tribes have dances peculiar ' to themselves , and some are more valuable in the perpetuation "of thejhistory , the religipn , the. ceremon ies , the daily life of the people than all other agencies combined. So much for the Indian dance in general. Here I have witnessed a new revela tion in the history of this strange pee ple. , I have seen dances different from any thattl have seen during the last 2o veal's. 3"he one that impresses .me quifcTas much as any other is the Woo"- ing otf Mbntezuma. The characters are Quellacotle , Monarka , Montezumaj his lovely bride , Malinche , ( erroneously and 'far less poetically printed on the bilsKaegna ! ; ) the court jester , Tongno ; Taurus ( the bull ) , courtiers , attendants and Officers. Montezuma , as every in telligent reader knows , is the savior , the Socrates , the Confucius of tlje Mex icans. His birth runs back into the mystic records of myth and tradition the great Montezuma , I meanBui Montezuma , like all good men anc creat gods , loved more fortunately thai inany others he loved both wisely anc well. He wooed and won , and experi enced quite as many difficulties in thi job as the rest of us. 'T\vas ever thus women "coy and hard to please. ' So found the monarch love in his persistent and delicat wooing of the reluctant but level ; Malinche. The drama dance commem orates and represents the valor , pa tience and sublime heroism of the grea lover ; the .attempts of the ugly an clowning Taurus to captivate the fai maiden ; the struggles the courtien each for himself , with wooing : and wir some manners to captivate the charir ing and beautiful Indian girl. In trial of most experts and most skillft dancing Montezuma vanquishes all 'hi courtiers. The blushing and beautift "Malinche yields , and Montezuma : prouder , happier than when he ha conquered all surrounding tribes an founded the great city of Mexico , wit with its magnificent gardens , its woi derful plazas , its great market-placi its royal buildings , its fountain's au aqueducts , its splendid roads , and a I j these lonely years before the arrival < ! the blood-thirsty and gold-crazed Spai - iard , and befpre the hen had laid tl j egg that Columbus made to stand in tl 1 presence of the princes. It is , 3 course , a national dance , and dates - history Iback into the misty traditio of mythical history. The Aztec , goc o it is said , revealed it to the Pueblo I r dians. " e 'It took just one hour and a half 1 a my watch to render the dance poem. e -skillfully , majestically , beautiful rendered. The dancers were both Me n leans and Pueblo Indians. The numb U performing was 12 , not including t a fair Lupeta Arohuletta , representing t lovely bride-and the manly Franciscc Gomez , personating the monarch lover the great Montezuraa. * The mother o : the bride is a Pueblo and , the father i Mexican. "OurAwaiting- anxioui beaus not infrogneiiily think their fail dulcineos are a long time preparing their toilets for extra occasions , bul dishing tells mo the Zuni are fully eighl days preparing for the cochita dance You ace their time is not much more valuable than that of our average fash ionable young lady. Then' , too , thej are very elaborately dressed , paradox ically as it may Beemfvhen not dressed at all. One can be much dressed with very light dress , as the Zuni and the fashionable lady at the ball ) each illus trate. The Zuni may be naked to the waist and neb even wear Cinderella slippers , and yet days may be spent in ornamenting , decorating and painting the body and -face.- - The wooing of Montezuma is danced by 12 chiefs. On the occasion referred to they emphatic ally mingled and blended the ancient and modern civilization in dress as well as in the general features of the dance. Some enterprising clothing merchant had presented them with a cheap "pair of pantaloons and a vest each. With these still retaining the salesman's card- mark for ornament , a calico shirt , a Jtfavajo or Zuni blanket , a , silk ! veil worn as as a mask , and brand new cow hide shoes richly ornamentca andjiigh- ly decorated , the dancers wore arrayed. They had their attendants tto arrange their endless amount of gibbons in bright colors , pendant from thc -head ana shoulders. The faces were highly painted , though masked. The monarch lover , Montezuma , Yas , of course , more gorgeously arrayed. His crown was particularly- noticeable " and gaudy. Each dancer carried a "red silk handkerchief , more conspicuous than Senacor Thurman's , iireacn hand , the one in the right haying a few stones tied up in it | which , withjjpnstant , reg ular ancl monotonous movement , kepfc rattling time with the -music.

Here the dance was given. ; Hundreds of people crowded around 'the low- fence that .enclosed the arena. Other hundreds" looked on from the roofs of the-state house and adjoining-buildings. The arena was spacioustana gave full advantage to the dancers to do their best. The witches and-ghosts in the oldfchurchyard danced with no morje zeal and'fury for Tarn O'Shanter than didjjthe Zum-ior their -largo audience , Dancing around the may-pole 'concludes " the I , ceremony. Each of the twelve" chiefs -holds one of the long ribbons attached to the pole and they dance around the pole until the ribbons are thoroughly twisted. Then the dancing is reversed and the ribbons untwisted. When this was done they asked the crowd , through the interpreter , if the pole was well twisted and the work was well done and we all clapped our hands and t'.e ' Zuni's cup of glory was full and running over. I forgot to mention that the lovely bride of Montezuma , Lupeta Archuletia , the fair Mallwehe , was dressed in a beautiful white dress , lat est style and very expensive. Her head was highly ornamented. She wore a pair of new shoes of reasonably oed material. With so much civiliza tion fixings old Montezuina would hardly have recognized his bride. She carried the two brilliant silk handker chiefs in the same way as the men. Artificial Eggs. Now YdrffiSun. I followed my conductor to one end of the apartment , where there were throe large tanks or. vatSv One was. filled with a yellow compound the second end with a starchy mixture and the oth er wasovered. Pointing to these the proprieror said : "These contain the yolk mixture and the white of egg. We can empty vats every day , so you can judge of the extent of the business al ready. Let me show you one of tne machines. You see they are divided into different boxes or receptacles. The first and second are the yolk and white. The next is what we term the "skin" raachinerand thelast ] one is the shell- cr , with arying trays. This process is the result of many years of experiment and expense. I first conceived the idea after making a chemical analysis of an egg. I jthen turned my attention to maKing the machinery , and the re sult you see for yourself. Of course it would not be policy for me to explain all the mechanism , but I'll give you an idea of the process. Into the first ma chine is put the yolk mixture " "Well , it's a mixture of Indian meal , corn starch , and several other ingre dients. It is poured into the opening in a thick , mushy state , and is formed by the machine into a ball and frozen. In this condition it passes into the other box , where it surrounded by the white , which is chemically the -same as the realj egg. This is also frozen , and by a peculiar rotary motion of the machine an oval shape is imparted to it , and it passes into the next receptacle , where it receives the thin fllnry skin. After this it'has only to go into the sheller , where it gets its last coat in the shape of a plaster of paris shell , a trifle thicker than the genuine article. Then it goes out on the drying trays , where the shell dries at once and the inside thaws out . It becomes to all gradually. , * appearances - ances , a real egg. " I "How many eggs can you turn out in a day ? " ' * "Well , as we are running now , we turn out a thousand'or so every hour. " "Many orders ? " "Why , bless your soulyes. We.can- not fill one-half of. our orders. " "Can they be boiled ? " "OK , yes ; " and he called one of the men. "Here , Jim , boii this gentlemar an egg. " "Can they be detected ? " I inquired while the bogus egg was being boiled. "I hardly think , that anybody woulc be likely to observe any difference un less he happened to be well posted , a : they look and taste like the real thing We can , by a little flavoring , maki 'them taste like goose or duck eggs , o course altering the size.

The Shapira Dlscoverlesi London Now * . Is there any reason to suppose tha all the ancient manuscripts of famoui classical books have been discovered ! Of course every one must hope tha there are discoveries still to bo made The lost books of Livy wo confess tin world can suffer to bp lost. A verj great deal of Livy still survives , quiU enough for all purposes. Monander it a far more cruel loss , for not only was Menandor by general consent the great est poet ol comedy , as we considoi comedy , cut in him would probably be found the earliest literary form of plots which have been used by Plautus , Terence , Jiloliero , and their followers. If it b'e true that . "all the stories have been told" they must have been told very longf ngp , for wo can scarcely go so far back in Egyptian or Chinese literature but we Imd the old stories , obviously with a great pastbehind them even then. There is is a story of a learned contemporary who heard that an excessively old manuscript , part of the New Testament , had been discover ed. Now , next to finding the manu script of some work wholly lost there is nothing more exciting than the discov ery of an older manuscript of a familiar w.ork than any we possess. The whole world wqu'ld be moved if in tlfe Vatican or the Sultan's palace or in a convent ' of SinaL' , or the Levant , a con- einporary copy of some gospel , or of one of St. Paul's lost epistles , should be unearthed. 3ut the learned.scholar became a little bored with talk about the New Testa ment codek. "If it had only been sometliing important now , " he said , "if thad been Propertius , for instance ! " Most-of us pro Philistine enough to be more interested in the early history of our own- and the Jewish sacred books than in "the minor Latin poets. And icople who" learn with disappointment ; hat the recent discovery of the ark is not free from suspicion may congratu- ate themselves that Mr. Shapiro , has discovered a new ( that is , an exces sively old ) codex of the Book of Deu- eronomy. A number of learned Orien talists have examined the precious frag ments , though apparently they have arrived at nov.very definite conclusion , things froni Moab do not always turn out as well as could be wished. The VIoabite stone is generally respected , > ut the Moabite pottery appears to have ) een made Jn Staffordshire. Some 'ears ago a scholar , an Oriental scholar it Oxford , "was known as "The Bad Samaritan.'I A Samaritan manuscript of much interest had been brought to lis notice , and he was ( according to ogend ) quitepleased with this ancient reasure. But the manuscript turned out to'be a work of the nineteenth cen tury A. D. Therefore we must not accept all Oriental manuscripts as gen uine without thorough examination. The treasure now in London consists of various small and dirty scraps of > archnient or of leather. On some of hem Phoenician letters are visible to ; he naked eye. Other scraps reveal Phoenician letters after being washed over with spirits of wine. The writing s said to be as old as the Moabite stone , vhich is dated 900 years before Christ. Of course a manuscript of Deuteronomy vritten 900 years before Christ would silence the highest , criticism when she assigns to Deuteronomy a very much ater date. Apart from this critical in- : erest the manuscript would be proba bly the oldest , not Egyptian , which we ) ossess on any soft material. Herodo- us says that in ancient times the lon- an vrote on skins , but none of the skiST have descended to us , which is 'ortunate for the theories of Mr. Paley. Sknis of course are very perishable ob- eW5nrtur-so'ont oftHc dryclimttte of Sgypt ) arc manuscripts written on japyrus. We have Egyptian papyri of ixtejrae antiquity , but the oldest alpha- ) ebc Semitic writings hitherto known' are inscriptions on stones and rocks , and occasionally on silver bowls and other hard materials. Tha hew codex of Deuteronomy therefore would be > ractioally unique. It would establish lie fact that the Jews could write a consecutive narrative on soft and port able material 2,700 years ago , about the date commonly assigned to Homer and lesoid. And if the Jews could do it , .he Greeks , a clever people , would not ) e long behind them. The story of the recovery of this relic is peculiarly ro mantic. Five years ago Mr. Shapira , of Jerusalem , heard that the Arabs of Diban , in Moab , possessed some an cient tribal talisman. Mr. Shapira > erceived that , if really ancient , these ialismans might have interest and value. They might , of course , be mere relics of saints ; on the other hand , ; hey might be chips of the broken stone "table of the law " They did turn out ; o be something almost as remarkable. Mir. Shapira , according to statement which we have already published , en isled in the cause of Biblical archaeol ogy some Arabs , "people who would steal their own mother-in-law for a few piasters. " The Oriental races , when once embarked in a career of crime , stick at nothing. To steal one's own mother-in-law is a furtive act at which the stoutest western fancy" stands aghast , nor is it easy to imagine the state of mind of the capitalist who would suborn men to commit sfach a theft. By the aid of these Arabs the talisman was carried off , and proved to be no talisman , but the Book of Deu teronomy. ' The "various readings" of this singular text are almost startling , and Mr. Shapira is said to value his "find" ( "finding is keeping" in the east ) at 1,000,000. But a nation which would not buy the Ashburnham manu scripts will probably think twice before paying the fancy price of a million f01 the commodity. COMMERCIAL. ( WATT A.
