ORIGIN OF BAGPIPES IT IS FOUND IN THE ANCIENT REED, OR SHEPHERD'S PIPE. In Early Time Tlu-rr Wore Manx Different Kinds of HiiKpines In line In Europe The Hinhlnnd, Lowland mnd Irl.h Varlettei. According to the iwyclopvdin, the bag pipe Is a wind instrument tlio fixed clinr-ac-teristic of whiHi lius always been two or more reed pipes ottnehod to nnd Bounded by a wind chest, or bng, which bag has In turn been supplied either by the lungs of the performer or by n bel lows. The original instrument was pre sumably the simple reed, or shepherd's pipe, which was well kiiowi to tho Trojans, Kgyptiiins, Greeks nnd Ro mnus. But the strain of blow.ng these ancient pipes was so great that some genius conceived the idea of having a reserve supply of wind In a bag attach ed to the pipes, and hence the bagpipe. The first real Instrument Is believed to have been a skin of a goat or kid, with two pipes, through one of which tho bag was inflated, the other emitting the sound. In early times tho bagpipe was com mon in Urent Britain and abroad. At ouo time there were five different kinds known on the continent, some inflated by the month and others by bellows, While in the British isles three kinds were known the great highland bag pipe, the lowland bagpipe of Scotland (which closely resembled the Northum brian) and the Irish bagpipe. In the great highland bagpipe, which originally had but one drone, a valvcd tube leads from the mouth to an air tight bag, which has four other orifices, three large enough to contain the base of three fixed long tubes, termed drones, and another smaller, to which is fitted the chanter. The three are thrown on the shoulder, while the latter is held In the bands. All four pipes are filled with reeds, but of different kinds. The drones are tuned by means of sliders, or movable Joints, and this tuning or preparation for playing, which general ly occupies a few minutes of the piper's time before he begins the tune proper, ' Is heard with impatience by those not accustomed to tho instrument. Indeed, it gave rise to tho saying, applied In Scotland to time? who waste time over Hmall matters, "You are longer In tun ing your pipes than In playing your tune." The Scottish lowland bagpipe, like the Northumbrian pipe, was in two forms, one consisting of a smaller and milder toned edition of the highland in strument and the other a miniature of this and having the same relation to it as the fife hns to a German band. Its great drawback, from the point of view of the devotees of the highland bagpipe, is that It is unsulted to perform what they consider the perfection of pipe mu sicthe pibroch. These small pipes were, however, gentler than the high land, having the same tone,' but less sonorous. It was to the strains of such a bagpipe that Chancer tells us the com pany of pilgrims left London, nnd It is the same instrument that Is alluded to In Shakespeare as the Lincolnshire bag pipe. The Irish bagpipe Is the instrument In Its most elaborate form and is supplied with wind by a bellows. The drones are all fixed on one stock and have keys which are played by the wrist of the right bond. The reeds are soft and the tones very sweet and melodious, and there Is a harmonious bass which Is very effective in the hands of n good player. The Irish Instrument is fast dying out The bagpipe, though at one time fair ly common, never obtained a firm hold in England. It lost favor and gradual ly deteriorated until It is now practi cally extinct. The tveroge English man neither appreciates nor under stands it. A famous poet irreverently once compared its notes to "the shrill screech of a lame goose caught In corn," wLile another heretic writer lik ens its sound to a "horrible, noisy, mad Irishman" or to the cries of the "eter nnlly tormented." To the Irish people it appeals more strongly. They still possess in a degree the feeling of at tachment to the bagpipe which is so general among Scotsmen. But It is undoubtedly more closely associated with Scotland, both in the highlands and lowlands, than with any other country, the particular instrument in rase being the greut highland bagpipe, t which, as already explained, consists of three drones, including the big drone, which was added about the be ginning of the last century. It is this type which has gradually superseded the lowland pipe. There is no doubt that the bagpipe was In use In Scot land from a very early period, and It Is In Scotland that it has been brought to the highest degree of perfection. Its Inuslc distinctly connects it with Scot land, as is clear in the pibroch, the trathspoy, the reel, the march and other popular melodies. There are proofs that the instrument was culti vated in Scotland certainly in the twelfth century and of its universal popularity as early as the fifteenth cen tury, while hi the seventeenth century nearly every town in the highlands and lowlands boasted of Its piper.

It Is a curious fact that oue of the only things which even an expert graphologist does not guarartee to dis cover In handwriting is the sex of the writer. We are accustomed to think that the feminlno or masculine tem perament will readily betray Itself In tho written word, but In the majority of cases such Is not the case. Writing bold, block and firm, most masculine nppearlng In every way, will frequently be found to emanate from the pen of a woman, while delicate tracery, with the regularity suggestive of precision and method or tho dash nnd spontaneity which indicate a live ly fancy almost unmistakably femi nine, one says on examination is discov ered to belong to a writer of tho oppo site sex.

Captain Kldd, the famous pirate, started Ills career with the Intention of suppressing piracy. In February, 1097, he left the Hudson in the Adventure Galley with a crew of 150 men with this intention. This expedition had been equipped chiefly nt the expense of the Whig ministers, and Its commander carried with him, "besides the ordinary letters of marque, a commission under the great seal empowering him to seize pirates and to take them to Rome place where they might be dealt with ac cording to law." The king's right to the goods found in possession of these malefactors was granted by letters patent to the sup porters o.f the expedition, his majesty securing only one-tenth of the spoil. Kldd, however, soon finding that little was to be gained by the adventure, threw off all disguise and hoisted the Jolly Roger. His rapacity and cruelty were un bounded, and In less than two years he amassed the sum of 200,000. With this ho thought to make his peace with tho authorities nnd end his days In lux ury, but he was arrested at New York and brought to England, where he was tried and hanged at Execution dock in 1701. London Satunlay Review. Prince Napoleon. Trlnce Napoleon In 1870 was some thing of a prophet. When he heard of. the emperor's declaration of war he hurried to St. Cloud and had a stormy Interview with the emperor. He didn't hesitate to Ray, "It is the emperor who has brought tills upon us," nnd the em peror, while offended nt his frankness, admitted thnt "your presentiments per haps correspond with mine." Then the prince fired his Inst shot nnd showed that, though he might . go astray in many things, he knew of the weakness of France and the strength of Ger many. He turned on his heel nnd, with that bitterness which he didn't hesitate to exhibit when occasion required, said: "So be it; so be itl Let us, however, make haste to pack our possessions, for we nre already beaten." And so the result proved. The Saltl'eat nt the Salt Beaa. Some idea of the saltncss of the wa ters of the Dead sea may be gained from the comparison made below. The Dead sea is situated in Palestine, 20 miles east of Jerusalem. It is 35 miles long nnd from 10 to 15 miles wide, with an average depth of 20 fathoms (120 feet). Common ocean water contains but 30 parts of salt to the 1,000. Those of the Dead sea contain 2T0 parts to the 1,000, which makes the briny solution exactly one-fourth salt The Cnllbar Bean. The famous Calabar bean is said to be worse than strychnine. The natives use it for an ordeal. If a person is ac cused of a crime be is made to eat one, being adjudged to be guilty In case of death, which is almost inevitable. An other seed employed for a like purpose Is that of the ordeal tree of Madagas car, said to be the most deadly of vege table products. One of these seeds about the size of an almond will kill twenty men. Cnrly Hair. Curly hair is a constitutional, hered itary phenomenon.

Even the German dead lay in whole ranks with their swords nt arm's length. So the English at Hastings worked . havoc with their bnttleaxes. Tho Netherland mercenaries carried a hewing weapon at Homines. The Flemings at Courtral used their godendags fitted alike both for cut and thrust, and finally the Swiss made play with their halberds, an Improvement on the godendag. . The halberds had a point for thrust ing, a hook wherewith to pull men from the saddle nnd above all n broad, heavy blade, "most terrific weapons" (valde terrlbllln), to use tho words of John of Wluterthur, "cleaving men asunder like a wedge and cutting thera Into smnll pieces."

As the blood takes about half a minute to circulate through tho whole system, it may be taken that at the end of this period after the stoppage of the heart the arteries would be filled by the last effort of the left ventricle, while the veins would be pouring their con tents Into the right auricle. In a few seconds more the nervous centers would cease to act, nnd probably by the end of the minute the subject would be prnctlcally dead from suffo cation, although reflex musculnr action would probably keep up the appearance of life for some seconds longer.

Through a small trapdoor a pnrlah dog or a pig Is placed In the log for bait and the trap left for future developments. The tiger or panther easily pushes in his paw to se cure the bait, but when he tries to withdraw it it is impaled on the sharp spikes, and he is trapped. Falling; From the Sun to the Earth. The philosophers have figured out some queer problems since the time of Horatio, but none of them Is more curi ous than thnt relating to the amount of time It would take for an object to fall from tho sun or moon to our earth.

It would be an immense benefit to all 'mankind If the stores of gold held by Individuals in India could be made available for general use. Ever since tlw dawn of history that country has b""ii gathering gold and hiding It away. Treasures of almost incalculable value are possessed by many Indian princes. When the inahnrajah of Htmlwuu died the stock of gold und silver left by him was so large that no member of the family could make an accurate esti mate of it. A report made '.: the Brit ish government by a secret agent stat-t-d that on the estate of the defunct po tentate were a number of treasure houses, one of them containing three rooms. The largest of these three rooms was forty-eight feet long and was filled with ornaments of gold and silver, plates and cups, washing bowls, Jug-t and so forth all of precious met als. The other two rooms were full of bags and boxes of gold m.ihr.rs and silver rupees. The door of this and other treasure houses had been bricked up for uobody knows lmw Ions. These valuables, according to au an cient custom, were In the custody of Ihe mahnrnjah's wife, the vaults being attached to her apartments, but none of them was allowed to be opened save in the presence of the master. One vault was filled with ornaments belong ing to different guds of the family. The natives of India commonly bury their hoards, nnd among the poorer classes a favorite hiding place Is a hole dug beneath the bed. Disused wells are sometimes employed for the same pur pose. It is undoubtedly a fact that very many hoards thus deposited nre lo.U forever. Gold is also valued on re ligious grounds. The gads take up great quantities of gold, silver nnd precious stones. The temples contain vast amount of tho yellow and white metals. The habit of hoarding seems to have been induced by ags of mis government, dining which oppression nnd violence were rife.
