In Burnaby's "Travels In America In 17D9," a book quite popular during the latter part of the eighteenth cen tury, the following incident is related: The captain of a British man-of-war cruising off the Massachusetts coast left liis wife in Boston. On one of his visits to port she came down to the wharf to meet him. and she was salut ed as a true and loving sailor's wife deserved. This violation of law was at once reported, and the captain was brought before the magistrate and sentenced to be publicly whipped. There was no getting out of it, and the captain submitted quite gracefully. Just before the departure of his ship he gave an elaborate entertainment, to which all of the magistrates were in vited. After the festivities were over and every one had shaken hands with the captain and was going over the side the magistrates were seized by the arm and stripped to the waist. Each one was led to the gangway, where a vigorous boatswain gave him thirty-nine lashes on the bare back and then hustled him over into a boat amid the cheers of the whole ship's company. Hindoo Dancing. Hindoo dancing bears no similarity to that of the European. Stage acting in the shape of comedies and tragedies is hardly to be found among the Hin doos. The chief characteristic of their dancing is their dress, which very often is horrible and grotesque to look nt. Their dances cousist in wrestling, jumping and moving the shoulders, head, hands, logs, as if agitated by vio lent convulsions, to the sound of mu sical Instruments, The IliudoQ taste for music is so marked tliat there is not a t single gath ering, however small, which has not some musicians at its head. The in struments on which they play are for the most part clarinets and trumpets; they have also cymbals and several kinds of small drums. The sounds produced by these instruments are far from pleasing and may even appear hideous to European ears. The matuva. or conductor, is the most remarkable of all the musicians, in beating time lie taps with his lingers on a narrow drum. As lie beats, his shoulders, head, arms, thighs and, in fact, all the parts of his body perform successive movements, and slmultane ously he utters inarticulate cries, thu> animating th<* musicians both by voice and gesture. Cornmeal as Food. Cornmea! is otie •>! the most health ful, nourishing foods and the lies' bone, muscle and tissue builder of all the breadstulTs. Our forefathers fought their wars and tanied the wil derness upon a corn bread diet, and they were a hardy, heady set, many of whose examples we might profitably follow. Of course cornmeal to be per feet should lie ground upon stones turned by water power. The steam ground roller mill product of today has some advantages in the way of economy of production, but it kills the delicacy of the grist, so 'tis said by some.—Pallas News. A Charitable World.
