THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. I HUM PES Indians Have Developed Rare Skill With This Weapon. HOW THEY ARE MADE. Fourteen or Fifteen Feet Long, Straight ai an Arrow The In side la as Smooth as Glass Darts Are Poisoned Have a Range of Two Hundred Feet. "There are two kinds of blowpipes In use anion the Indlnns of liuiaiut," Bays Paul Fountain, In "IonRinan's Magazine. "The first, called the poo coona, Is made of the oor.ih reed. This remarkable reed la only found hi the Orinoco Itlver, nnd there only t certain spots. The oorali grows to the height of at leaBt thirty feet, and the basal Joint, of which the blow pipe Is made, Is fourteen or fifteen feet long, straight as an arrow, and without a knot. The Inside of the reed Is as smooth as glass, hence the facility with which the dart traverses It. Very little of the reed Is cut away, bo thiit the pipe Is nbout twelve feet long, and so strong that when held horizontally there Is not the least bend In It. "The reed, having- been carefully elected, cut and prepared. Is Inclosed In a small, thin, palm trunk, which is split open for the purpose, scraped thin as a wafer, and then rejoined with the reed In the centre. This palm, for length, straightness and and lightness Is as remarkable ns the reed. The whole pipe, when finished, never weighs more than a pound and a half or a pound and three-quarters. Both the mouth, or muzzle, and the breech are bell mouthed, the bell pieces being fixed on. "There am front and back sights, the latter formed of the curved teeth of the Dasyprocta acouchi, a species of rodent somewhat larger In size than a wild rabbit. Two of the in cisors of tills animal are fixed on the hreech of the pipe by means of wax. The teeth being placed parallel to each other, and very close together, the sight is taken between them. Some times the foresight Is made In the same way, but It more often consists of the single sharp tooth of a fish. It Is placed about a foot back from the nuzzle, the back sight being affixed tour feet along the tube, so that It Is at considerable distance from the eye when aiming. "The missile used with this tube Is misnamed an arrow. It is really a dart, scarcely bigger than a large darning needle, and with a point quite as fine. The dart Is made of the rib of the coocooreete palm leaf, and Is so heavy that It will sink in water. It Is about seven Inches In length, not thicker than a large needle, and the usual number that an Indian carries wl:b him when shoot tag Is from 350 to ron, ready poisoned, hut not prepared witli the necessary cotton plugs. These darts are strung together something like the reeds on which soft cheeses are placed, and then rolled on a stick, and carried In a yuiver, points upmost, it being re quisite to protect them from every Chance of being broken or dulled. To protect the hand when handling them the top of the stick Is furnished with a small, wheellike shield. "The fine points are given to the darts by means of the teetli of the devilfish (Serrasalmus plrnya), and the cotton with which they are plug ged befifre use is found growing wild. It Is bound to the base of the dart with thread made of silk grass, this thread, with wax obtained from sev eral trees, being largely used also In making the blowpipe. The skill used In binding the plug of cotton to the dart must be great, or It will net fly true and far when shot. The Indian never carries more than five or six ready plugged, and when they are tost he must draw others from the quiver and plug them. He always tries them repeatedly before use, and perhaps never succeeds hi getting one to fly perfectly true. Hut If it Is only a few Inches out of flight, like a rifle man. In aiming he makes allowance for this Inaccuracy, and its proves to be of little moment. "There Is a knack In blowing the darts from the pipo. I have succeed ad in propelling them about ft hun dred yards, and I have never Been a European send them further, but the Indians puff them double that dis tance, and at a hundred to a hundred and fif.y yards, will hit a mark only a few Itii lKis- square. I have scon na tive marksmen who could hit parrots and toucans at the last distance once In two or three shots. "When a dart has been shot, If It misses its mark, the Indian takes great pains to find It on account of the danger it is to persons walking near the spot, for, it trodden or it is likely to be as fatal as the bite of the most venomous snake. I have formed the opinion that the woorall poison used to tip the darts owes Its great virulence to the venom of a anake which, I think, Is mixed with It; but I need not discuss that mat ter here. "Although It Is so light, the blow pipe Is n clumsy weapon to handle, on account of Its great length, and U Is easily damaged. The slightest wrench or knock renders it useless, and the Indian Is most careful to avoid accidents of this kind, lie 'car ries the tube In a vertical position, never kans It ngalnsj; a tree or places It on the ground without being sura hat lw vill lio perfectly flat, and when It Is not In use It Is suspended, In an upright position, to the bough of tree, or to a, post erected noar the hut for the purpose." THE roiXTOF VIEW "Falling In love," said she, "Is ab surd." We were discussing her cousin's en gagement. "It depends," said I, "upon the point of view." "You can't make black white," she protested, "however you look at It. You call yourself a platonist!" 1 call myself anything that gives n chance of unlimited discussion with Molly. "Quito so. As a platonist I hold that falling In love Is undesirable, If not necessarily absurd. "The absurd is necessarily undesira ble." "Not a bit. You are absurd." "I'm sure I'm not." "But extremely desirable." "If you mean " "As a plntonlc companion." "Platonic friendship hns nothing whatever to do with falling in love." She wns so emphatic that 1 knew she was doubtful. "The same qualities which, from an enlightened standpoint, make you de sirable as a platonlc friend, from an other point of view would excuse an Ill-regulated person for falling In love with you." "How dare you speak In that way?" she demanded, hotly. "Of course, I shouldn't allow any one to do such a thing: but, If an" one did. I don't see why he should be called names." "Neither do I. That's Just it." "Of course, be would be very fool ish." "Exactly." She tossed her head. "Mamma will bo wanting me," she announced, loftily. "So perhaps you can find something to amuse your self!" She gathered up her wools and rose. "Don't go for a minute, Molly." I pleaded. "I am going this Instant." She sat down again. "What I meant," I explained, "was that, although he would be foolish from our standpoint not to embrace the opKr:unltiC8 of the higher Pla tonic friendship which we have found so delightful " "Have wo?" she observed, with great disdain. "Yet ho would be human, rather than absurd, in falling a victim to your charms. Speaking with the brotherly frankness allowed by our compact, they are so considerable " "Flattery is forgiven by the com pact," eho said. In a mollified tone. "Of course, I know you don't mean It." "But I do. You have a way of look ing at u fellow " "I haven't:" "Which might easily disturb a sus ceptible mind." j "You silly fellow!" I "A way," I repeated, feelingly, "which is very trying, even to so pro nounced a platonist as I." "I sometimes think," she murmured, thoughtfully, "that your platonlc views are not so pronounced as you profess." "Surely my practice confirms my theory?" I inquired, with astonish ment, j "Last night, when you put us In the hanson " She paused, doubtfully. I raised my hands In protest. "A casual and extrorasly slight de viation from the platonlc standpoint." Her mother was with her. "I may have squeezed your hand a little, but what of that? Why, you returned " "I didn't. It was absurd of you." "Again, you might refer to the night we walked home from Hamilton's." "I am not likely to refer to that." "But I wish to be clear from any risk of misconception," I insisted, loftily. "It is true I kissed you, but" "I was exceedingly cross." She wasn't. "That, again, was merely a relapse Into the er human point of view, for which I was not responsible." "I'm suro I wasn't." "F.xeuse me. Y'ou twisted a wrap round your shoulders so that you looked well, If I were speaking from an ordinary point of view, I should say bewitching." "I don't want to tnlk about It." "You have sucli big, deep eyes " "My appearance has nothing to do with the matter." "It has a great deal to do with It from some points of view." "You have no business to take such poinis of view. We agreed not to be foolish." "You make It Impossible for me to keep the agreement," I groaned. "If you really wanted me to " "Of course I do." She doesn't. "You would make yourself look aa unattractive as possible," "No woman would do that." She spoke with Intense conviction. "Then you must not blame me for any weaknesses called forth by wo man's natural vanity and perversity. From my point of view " "Your point of view Is absolutely ridiculous," she declared, waving her hand as if she were sweeping folly Into space. "Every woman tries to make herself look nice every woman you know. Y'ou don't, therefore, con sider yourself at liberty to go and and" "Kiss her?" "Well, I suppose you don't?" I as sumed a guilty smile, which seemed to annoy her. "Why don't you answer mo?" she demanded, stamping her foot. She wears "twos." "I don't see anything to answer." I tried to blush, but, of course, I couldn't. "Do you mean to tell me that you go kissing women who look nice, whenever you get a chance?" "Noo," said I, slowly, "I don't menn to tell you." She gathered up the wools again with her haughtiest nlr. "If that Is your point of view," she said, "please, consider our friendship at an end." "Look here, Molly," I protested, "it wasn't In our bargain that I was to be platonlc with everybody, was It?" "I don't care what was In our bar gain. It was a pleco of foolishness al together." "Besides. I haven't said that I er kissed anybody." "Oh, yes, you have! I know you have, and I know very well who It was. So there!" If sho meant Nora Teesdalo, It wns only two or three times Just for a Joke. "Perhaps you'll tell me. then?" "Perhaps I shan't! Though, of course, I know very well, mid so do you!" "I naturally should, shouldn't 1?" You would, If you " "I shall not stay to be Insulted." She moved to the door, but I Inter cepted her. "Ixiok here, Molly," I said, "don't let us quarrel over such u trifle. If you'll believe me" "How can I believe you when you behave In such a way? Didn't we agree faithfully that we' but I don't want to discuss It." I tugged my mustache a bit; then I took hold of her arm. "We agreed," I said Blowly, "to be the fastest nnd best of friends In a purely platonlc way. Aren't we?" "Not If" She quivered a little at the corners of her rosy mouth, and stopped. "Not If either of us like any one else better, you mean, Molly?" She nodded. 'Tpon my honor, I don't, Molly. Do you?" She shook her head. "I never shall, dear," I cried, eagerly. "Will you?" Sho dropped the wools and let them roil away unheeded, nnd I seized her dear little bands. "Not," she said, tremulously, "from a platonlc point of view." "Platonic point of view be hanged!" I put my arm round her. She put her head down upon my shoulder and laughed nnd cried a lit tle, too, I fancy. "I don't mind," she said. "Do you still consider falling in love absurd, Molly?" I asked, a little later. "Certainly," she said, resolutely. "In other people!" Which shows how much depends upon the iKjint of view! .1. A. Flynn, In Free Lance. Our Trade with Mexico. Some idea of the value of Mexico ns a market for United States export ers may be gained by a comparison of the figures Issued recently by the United States Treasury Department. The exports from the United States to Mexico during the year ending June 30, 11)03, reached a value of $42,27. 780 In gold. Argentina, the best mar ket in South America, spent only $11, 4.'i0,4!)i! in the United States, nnd Bra zil a million less. The total exports to all South America reached only $41.114.1101 a million dollars less than Mexico's total. Exports to Mexico were double the exports to Cuba and four times the exports to the British West Indies, while they were seven timeD as large as the exports to the five Central American countries com bined. In considering the Latin-American field as a market for United States products, this fact of the already es tablished demand for them In Mexico should be ranked with the republic's good government, its acessibllity by land nnd sea, Its established credit, and the period of remarkable develop ment upon which It has entered. In every one of these points, Mexico Is far In advance of her Latin sisters.- Modern Mexico. How Liszt Played. As Li3zt played his demeanor changed In sympathy with the In tensely dramatic context of the work During the somber phantasy his teeth were set, his lips and massive Jaw firm, his entlro face almost rigid; his gray eyes burned with tho composer's Inspiration, and his body straight ened out as he leaned somewhat away from the keyboard. When ho struck, the ponderous chords of terror there was a vehemence almost diabolicnl In the sudden swoop of his great hands, and tho tremendous crash fairly made one shiver. Hi3 nostrils became distended and his breath came i quickly, as one laboring under great , excitement. Indeed, it seemed that I tho spell of the great "tone-poet," ! with whom, in his earlier years, he had been on such friendly terms, had completely mastered him; as though he felt himself again in his presence, and he would once more prove his de votion to Chopin's inspired art, and show him that Liszt still knew and could portray bis innermost soul. Booklovers Magazine. Only a Few Real Criminals, My experience gained by close con tact with the men In our prisons dur ing the last seven years had convinced me that but u small percentage of the No.ooo now within prison walls should be called criminals at heart. In this stalement I have been . indorsed by wardens who have had a far longer and more intimate experience than I, and who duty It Is to watch very closely the actions, character and tendencies of the men under their charge. I believe that in every man's heart, however hardened or hopeless the ex terior, there Is some tender spot, If one knows rightly how to touch it, some chord of sweetness that can be made to vibrate to the very harmony of heaven, amid nil the Jangling dis cords of life. Mrs. Ballington Booth, In Leslie's Monthly. HONOKEl) liY CilURCH New Coadjutor Bishop of New York a Man of Action. Pntnrc limit of the r.plxonpnf riinrrh In tli l-tniHerit Metrotinlia Durn Not Defer to Clrrlcitl Idea of l)rena. David llummoll Grcor, coadjutor elect to Bishop Toiler, of New York, refused three bishoprics before he was chosen to fill his new office. He might have been the successor of the late Phillips Brooks ns bishop of Massachusetts, nnd ho was later elected coadjutor-bishop of Rhode Island and bishop of Pennsylvania. All these honors he de clined. The New York Sun says that no body, to look at him, would ever think of him as a bishop, or, for that matter, as a priest. There is nothing clerical In his appearance. A successful physician or banker, yes, or a merchant, he might be, if one Judged from his appearance. But In the slight wiry man, wearing a mustache and dressed In a black cuta way suit, there Is little to suggest to the spectator the head of the Fccond most Important parish of the Episco pal church In this city. He defers to the traditional Idea of clerical dross only In the use of a black necktie, which Is a narrow four-ln-hand without a pin. He has been known even to wear a colored tie. Bishop Doane of Albany in his shov el hat and leggings represents one type of bishop In the comprehensive Episcopal body. Certainly Bishop elect Greer represents the antithesis of that more conservative cleric, with all kinds of bishops Intervening be tween these two extremes. If he did not live In the rectory ad Joining St. Bartholomew's church It might be said that the new bishop elect's way of life did not in Its ex ternal aspects distinguish him from other God-fearing, prosperous New York citizens. His two daughters are in society and Ills sons are members of New York clubs. The summer home of tho family at Easthampton, and there they are ac tive in the gayetles of the New Y'ork colony. Dr. Greer lias always been one of the most popular summer resi dents of the place. He has been tho rector of the most fashionable and richest of New York's BISHOP DAVID H. GREER. (Recently Elected Coadjutor to Bishop Pot ter, of New York.) Episcopal parishes not richer than Trinity with its accumulated millions, but possessing greater wealth in re lation to lis size. It was largely through the Initiative of the late Cor nelius Vanderbllt that Dr. Greer was called from Providence to take charge spread attention in the diocese. The Vanderbilt family have always been loyal in its devotion to him, and there are many other families among the richest In New York that belong to the congregation which on one Sunday morning contributed to a charity more than $90,000 in one collection. Pew rents there are naturally among the highest in the city and are said to to $3,000 in some cases. The bishop-elect came to New York city from Providence, where he had been for sixteen years rector of Grace church. He had served before that time at ClarkBburg, W. Va., where for two years he was rector of Christ church, and at Covington, Ky., where, while r.t Trinity church, he became a popular preacher and attracted wide spread attention in the diocese. He was born at Wheeling, W. Va., on March 20, 1844, and was graduated from Washington college, at Washing ton, Pa., in 1SC2.. He Btudiod theolo gy in the Episcopal seminary at Gam bler, O. From Brown university and Kenyon college he received the titles of doctor of divinity and doctor of laws. His popularity in Providence was as great as it became later in New York. St. Bartholomew's is one of the "Low" churches, although there is a fine choir there and the music has been noted for years. The organ is one of the finest In New York. The decorations, consisting altogeth er of frescoes and stained glass, are of the grandest order, and on the white marble altar is a beautiful Jew elled cross made In the Byzantine fash ion, which is the style of the whole church. Dr. Greer's assistants have always devoted their time chiefly to the work of the parUh church. CASTOR I A for Infants md Children.

C. SclmefTer, State Super intendent of Public Instruction, gave some very decided views on tue overburdened public school curriculum at one of the sessions of the Lancaster County Teachers' Institute. His utterances created much comment among the peda gogues. He declared it was of more importance to have a know ledge of reading, writing and reck oning than of whales, butterflies and Haltitnore Orioles, on which he had heard a number of learned dis courses from instructors at summer school teacher's conventions. Dr. SchaeiTer pleaded with the teachers to be not distracted by extranaous subjects to the detriment of the three essentials named above, and at the same time emphasized the importance of drawing and geography. He gave his approval of instruction along the lines of domestic science and industrial training.
