THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, MARCH'S, 916.

Almost everyone knows of the funny little mice that whirl about every' few moments -in a waltz, but few have heard of a dancing bird that lives far away in the wilds of Australia, that wonderful country on the other side of. the world. Back in the depth of the Jungle there, has lived for hundreds of years a race of people who are called Bushmen, as the forests they inhabit are called the Bush. They are brown in color and have long, black hair, while their only clothing is at mat tied around the body. These Bushmen have always been fond of dancing, and every week they would hold, a feast, at which the girls and men would prance around a blazing fire from sunset till dawn, whirling about In the moonlight to the music of the tom-tom and native drums. Among the maidens of the olden times were two daughters of a mother .who had great power in doing strange ithlngs, and some even said she gathered poisonous herbs to put in the ifood or her foes. The girls were not 'at all alike. The oldest, whose name (was Oba, was a dark beauty, but with Hashing eyes and a fiery temper. 9nra, who was slight and quiet, had ja gentle nature . and was not at all 'striking in appearance. Both were beautiful' dancers, but the steps of Sura were said to be more graceful than those of her sister, which made ithe older girl very jealous. Besides, the girls both loved a young man who jwas devoted to Sura. So it soon happened that Oba grew to hate her 'younger sister most heartily. One night Sura and the young man "were walking in the forest down a j)ath bordered by thick bushes, and in

the tangled weeks they stopped. Here they planned to have a wedding feast and a great dance the following week. Oba, who was seated in the bushes, hoard every word and her face darkened with anger. "Never shall my Bister marry the man Y love," swore Oba under her breath. "I will show her how she can insult her older sister." So Oba went home, and finding the mother asleep, she asked questions of her and received replies, for the woman did not know to whom she was talking. "Is it possible to turn anyone into a bird?" she whispered into her mother's ear. "Oh! yes," said the mother, still dreaming, "if one will gather the root

of the yucca and boil it at dawn, the Juice will turn anyone into a bird that will continue to act In most ways as if ltwere a mortal." "But where can I find the yucca?" whispered Oba again in her mother's ear. "Down by the green pool," returned the woman. "The water there is full of the plant." Oba ran out of the house, and, as she did so, brushed past,, her sister coming back to the hut singing in her happiness. In a few minutes the wicked , girl had reached the pool, gathered a handful of root and was home again. Then she sat till dawn to boil it down. " The next day the coming marriage was announced and great praparations were made. When the night arrived, Oba opened the feast with her dancing, which she kept up for an hour, whirling about in a thousand fantastic ways.

i When it came to the turn of the I bride, Sura rose timidly, but she soon

forgot the crowd and danced away as

lightly as a feather blown by the

breeze. The company broke Into a

storm of applause. Oba took a chance when she thought no one was looking

to opur the yucca juice into the bride's cup, but she did not notice that the bridegroom, when her back was turned, exchanged the cups, so that the one intended for Sura stood before Oba instead. The young bridegroom knew of the sister's jealousy, and seeing something put into his bride's cup by the sister, knew it was for harm. When Sura had finished, Oba thought to out-do her sister, so she started again in a mad whirl. As she came by the bridegroom he took up her cup and offered it to the tired girl. "You are weary with the feasting," he said, "Drink and refresh yourself." Oba turned up the cup and drank thirstily. But hardly had she swallowed its contents when she uttered a scream the charm was beginning to work and she realized that she had made a mistake. She commenced to shrivel up in the legs, her body grew short and fat, her neck pulled out into a long, ugly thing, with a tiny head, to which was stuck a red bill.. Two long, thin legs reached to the ground in short, the wicked sister had turned herself into a crane. Then she began to dance. Around and around she whirled, bow

ing and swaying in all kinds of figures, her bony legs sweeping in time to the music, while her harsh voice was raised in a scream. So waltzing, and bowing, and sidestepping, she vanished from view in the swamp of the green pool, but.no one was sorry, for all felt she had gotten what she deserved.

Girls if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it If you don't. - It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you detsroy if entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it. at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.
