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,

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.-

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.

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,

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.

Believes in the Three K's-
Dr. N. 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.
New Yorkers are in a rush to
sell their right ears for $5,000 spot
casn, 111 answer to a doctor s adver
tisement. There are lots of those
articles that might be spared to the
advantage of many who are over
stocked with that commodity.
