The fire has spread across hundreds of aeres, and has created a perfeet pandemonium among them. Startled creatures fill the air with their cries of peril.

Wild and furious dancing formed part of the worship of many nations of an- tiquity notably of the Phanician races, and in the rites of Mars and Cybele among the Greekseand Romans, It may be added that it still survives among the Orientals in the frantic exhibition of the dancing dervishes, It was prob- ably the unlawful participations in this form of worship (which no- toriously was attended by a great looseness of morality), and the punishment inflicted in consequence, which gave rise to the old stories of per- sons having been condemned to dance for a long term of years, or, according to other versions of the same fable, un- til death relieved them from their pen- ance. Such a tale is related of a certain inhabitant of Bernberg, in the early art of the eleventh century. A num- ir of peasants were said to have inter- rupted their priest in his ministrations on Christmas eve by dancing and shout- ing in the churchyard, for which offense he imprecated on them a curse—that they should continue to damce and shout without intermission throughout the entire year. They are said to have undergone the full term of their sen- tence, and to have been released at last through the intercession of two bishops. Whatever may have been the origin of this legend, it seems to have spread into almost all European countries, and may possibly have given the first impulse to the mania when it was exhibited in its more extended and serious form. This ocourred in the year 1874, A large as- semblage of persons, pilgrims appar ently from different parts of Germany, made their appearance in Aix-la-Cha- pelle, and there commenced their extra- ordinary performances.

I was walking by the shore one day at low tide where the beach was formed of dark mud and weed-covared moss, when m companion said, pointirg to some small objects that were hopping along shore near the water: ‘Isn't it rather queer for frogs to go with salt water? ‘It's so queer that I never heard of it before,’ I replied. ‘Perhaps it's something new.’ Bo we determined to find out what they were, and, taking off our shoes, we waded in and along the beach so as to driva the supposed frogs ashore. But all at once one started right up under my eyesand gave a hop of about a foot, and to my astonishment it was a flsh: and so I announced to my friend, who was behind. He wouldnt beliexpg me; but when he came up, there the little creature was, high and dry, resting on a stone, with its head somewhat raised, on its prominent pectoral fins. 1 made { a jump for it, and my friend did the | same, but away it went, hopping just like a toad, and for several moments there was a race between man and fish, | We soon hemmed it in, however, and 1 | have it in my cabinet now.

It was not considered lucky to carry a baby into a neighbor's house until the mother took it herself: and this it was unlucky for even her to de until she had been to church, It was considered unlucky for children to walk backward while going on errand. It was deemed unlucky to measure a baby; and if its nails were cut before it was a year old, it would turn out a thief; it was unlucky for a boy to wear trousews made on a Friday, and to sweep dust over the feet of the girls would prevent them from getting hus bands.
