ODD BURIAL CUSTOMS, torn Strange Ohrrnrp Among ADirlln Tribes, There are soino queer customs ol' erred hy I ho native Austin I la in, thcli Diodes of disposing of the ilcml licing noticeable nmt varied. When n mothot loses a favorite child sho carries the dead body about with her In n box ot easing of bark until decomposition force -her to dlsposo of It either bj burial or Ore. . In the cine of Home prominent ponton of the tribe dying bin nearest relative cut off lila hands and keep them ai acred remembrances, only partltiK will them after the odor from the dead members lias become uiiondiitalile Then they are thrown Into a Rtreiim bidden In a hollow tree or burned. Women are held In such contempt anionic the Australian tribes that ofter. they recelvo no burial at nil, and It l a rare thing to sec one mourned for by family and friends. Hut nt the funeral of a man or boy the lamentations are loud and long, the female mourners be ing the most demonstrative. With some of tho tribes the practice of throwing the bodies of tho dead over the branches of trees and leaving them for nature to dispone of Is observed. SLUGGISH RIVERS. Th Tolas Pulls Only Abont Tnrea Inrhr Prr .Mile. Considering Its length the Volga is the most sluggish river. In 2.:i." miles It falls only tldo feet, or slightly over three Inches per mile, while at one point about tho middle of its course the bed Is fully fifty feet below sen level. Thus all the water to that height above the bottom must be still, save when stirred by floods. The Volga also Is singular among great rivers lu having no mountainous course. It rises among marshes and lakes, and is so sluggish even then that a dain has been erected, which makes It navigable from its slxty-lifth mile onward. Almost within the his toric period It must have been an off shoot from the Caspian, which then stretched far Into the interior of Rus sia, drying up into a series of river connected lakes. The Volga has taken the place of these, along with many of their characteristics, including a gen eral sluggishness. The Scheldt is proverbially a slow river and Is practically lost in a maze of canals, but Its fall from source to sen is about fourteen Inches lu Its tolul length of 240 miles. THE NAME BLACKGUARD. It Was OrlalnallT Applied to Mull Boys and Servants. The earliest record of the term blackguard Is in the churchwarden's account of St. Mary-at-IIlll, London, where, under date 1532, is, "Item, re ceived for lilj Torches of tho ltlack Guard illjd." This and the following old lines seem to show that tho name was then applied to llnkboys: Her Cupid Is a blackguard boy That rubs his link full in your face. The name was also given to menial servants in tho king's kitchen. In the "Calendar ot State Tapers" is the fol lowing entry: "Aug. 17, 1533, Sir Wil liam FitzwIUiam to Mr. Secretary Cromwell Refusal of the workmen to work for less than sixpence a day. Two of the ringleaders had been for some of the time blackguards of the king's kitchen." These "blackguards" were ' responsible for all cooking utensils and coals. According to Miss Strickland, tho historian, the scullions of the royal kitchen were for many centuries clad In black and were called the black guards of England. Load Voiced Africans. The timbre of the voices among cen tral Africans is usually good deep and strong in the men, very melodious and sweet in the women. One notable pe culiarity about the people is the forced key in which they always carry on con versation. The ordinary quiet tones of civilized speech are scarcely ever heard among them. They literally shout, and, such being their bablt, it is a matter of Indifference to them whether the per son to whom they are speaking Is close by or twenty yards away. "They are most tireless chatterers," says a traveler. "I doubt whether any other , people in the world talk so much or laugh so much. Their laughter is par ticularly healthy, natural and unre- ' strained, a most exhilarating sound." Tho Roman reran, There were many forums in Rome, but the oldest and most famous was not created like a building at a certain time. The Forum Romanum was orig inally the lowlands between the Pala tine, Capltollue and Qulrlual bills, used as a meeting place for barter and poll ties by the tribes living on the hills named and on other kills near by. The development of this crude trading place and neutral ground into the Roman fo rum of later times was very gradual and Irregular. Uanblo to Compare.

Totes and Kluri, In the letters of William Cowper, the loet, Is an Interesting description of Some old fashioned political campaign tactics In Kngland: "We were slttlug, yesterday after dinner, the two ladles and myself, very composedly and with out tho least apprehension of any such Intrusion In our snug pnrlor, one lady knitting, the other netting, and the gentlemen winding worsted, when to our unspeakable surprise a mob ap peared before the window, n smart rap was heard at the door, the boys hallooed nnd the maid announced Mr. Grenvllle. I'uss one of the tame hares was unfortunately let out of her box, so that the candidate, with all his good friends at his heels, was refused ad mittance nt the grand entry and re ferred to the back door as the only pos sible way of approach. In a minute the yard, the kitchen and the parlor were lllled. Mr. (Jrenvllle, advancing toward me, shook me by the band with a degree of cordiality that was ex tremely seducing. When the confer ence euded, Mr. Grenvllle sipieexed my hand ngatn, kissed the ladles and with drew, lie kissed likewise the maid In the kitchen and seemed upon the whole a most loving, kissing, kind hearted gentleman."

"Vou will please do nothing of the Soft," answered the proprietor. "( 'lerks who 'nose' about, as you express it.

I would rath er they find out for themselves than go running to yuu for Information." New York Press. A Coarasreous Soldier. Admiral Wilson of the Ilritlsh navy won his Victoria cross nt tho battle of El Teb In 1NHI. There was n gap In the square, nnd five or six of the enemy made n vicious rush forward, attempt ing to get inside. Captain Wilson, who was present with tho naval brigade, advanced to meet them alone, but his sword broke In the endeavor to cut ono of the Intruders down. Hereupon tho officer, instead of beating a hasty re treat, stood his ground nnd began bowling over the enemy with his fists. Either from the nature of the ground or, as the record puts It, "the surpris ing nature of his attack," Captain Wil son escaped with a few wounds and was rescued by the squure closing up round him. Sir Redvers Buller do scribed the act ns the most courageous he ever witnessed. Tho Ilnmnsi Neptune. It is doubtful If there ever was a sturdier human Neptune thnn Captain Webb, whose memorable exploit In crossing tho English 'channel will al ways lie remembered. It was mere ill luck a futal chance which tossed him against a rock In the Whirlpool rapids of the Niagara river and ended his life. Lord liyron was a marvel In tho water. ' He equaled the feat of Leander in propelling himself across the Hellespont without aid or relief from any quarter, and before him beamed no beckoning signals, glances and smiles from an bicomparably beau tiful Hero. But even Byron never swam across the English channel. As the champion of the silver streak of sea Webb was the wonder of the ages. Wire Fire Extlnstnlshera. In factories where inflammable ma terials are made small fires are very' apt to break out, and unless their prog ress is at once stopped tho results may be serious. In varnish factories the fire extinguisher consists of a mesh of very flue wires. Should a Jar of var nish become Ignited, a workman seizes the net, which Is always kept ready at band, and pops It over the vessel con taining the burning liquid. Tho wires conduct off the heat so quickly that the flames have no time to spread and soon die out. Churches on Brldsrea. The custom of building churches on bridges was common a hundred years and more ago. Several of these qunlnt old buildings ore still left in Europe. The Chapol of Our Lady still stands on the brldgo which spans the Hon at Rotterdam. The little chapel was built in the fifteenth century and was re stored about a hundred years ago. For several years, however, it bas been used as a tobacco shop. Described. A parent was examining ft Is young first grade hopeful in geography. "What is laud with water Ml around It called?" .

An English military friend told me that one day In Dresden, un acquainted with this rule, he tore a long letter he had been reading Into some fifty fragments anil threw them behind li I in. A policeman stopped him anil explained to lilm quite politely the law upon the subject. My military friend agreed that It was a very good law, thanked the man for his In forma tion nnd said that for the future he would bear It 111 mind. That, us the policeman pointed out, would make things right enough for the future, but meanwhile It was necessary to deal with the past, with the fifty or so pieces of paper lying scattered about the road nnd pavement. My military friend, with a pleasant laugh, confessed he did not see what Was to be done. The policeman, more Imaginative, saw a way out. It was that my military friend should set to work nnd plek up those fifty scraps of paper. lie is an English general on the retired list and of Imposing ap pearance; his manner on occasion Is haughty- He (lid not see himself on his hands nnd knees In tho tltlcf street of Dresden, In the middle of the afternoon, picking up paper. The Herman policeman himself admitted that the situation was awkward. If the English general could not accept It there happened to be an alternative. It was that the English general should accompany the policeman through the streets, followed by the usual crowd, to the nearest prison, some three miles off. The general suggested hiring a boy to pick up the paper. The policeman referred to the' wording of the law and found that this would not bo per mitted. "I thought the matter out." my friend told me, "Imagining all the possible alternatives, Including that of kuocklng the fellow down and making a bolt, and came to the conclusion that his first suggestion would on the whole result lu the least discomfort. But I bnd no Idea that picking up small scraps of thin paper off greasy stones wns the business that I found It. It took me nearly ten minutes nnd af forded amusement, I calculate, to over a thousand people. But It Is a good law, mind you. All I wish Is that I had known It beforehand." On one occasion I accompanied an American lady to a German opera house. The taking off of hats lu the Gorman Hchaunplelhaus is obligatory, and ugaln I would it were so in Eng land. But the American ludy is ac customed to disregard rules made by mere man. She explained to the door keeper that she was going to wear her lint. He, on his side, explained to her that she was not. They were both a bit short with one another. I took the opportunity to turn aside and buy a programme. The fewer people there are mixed up In an argument, I always think, tho better. , My companion explained quite frank ly to the door porter that It did not matter what he said, she was not going to take any notice of him. Ho did not look n talkative man at any time, and maybe this announcement further dis couraged him. In any case, he matlo no attempt to answer. All bo did was to stand In the center of the doorway with a faraway look In his eyes. The doorway was some four feet wide. Ho wns about three feet six inches across nnd weighed about twenty stone. As I explained, I was busy buying a pro gramme, and when I returned my friend hnd her bat In her band and was digging pins Into It I think she was trying to make believe it was the heart of tho doorkeeper. Loudon M. A. 1' Rice as a Pood. As ad article of diet rice possesses the advantage of being the most easily digested (but one hour being required for perfect digestion) and most com pletely assimilated of the starch grains. For these reasons it becomes a val uable food for persons of sedentary habits. It is also rich lu nutritive prop erties, being four times as nutritious as the potato and more uniform In quality. According to the views of modern chemists, rice contains a small cr amount of flesh forming substances and a larger amount of fnt forming or heat producing substances than any other grain. Owing to the small quan tity of gluten which it contains rice is capable by Itself of only very Imper fect fermentation and Is therefore un fit for baking into breud. The pulatablcness of rice, if not in deed, its wholesomeuess, depends large ly upon the way it Is cooked. The gummy preparation which passes mus ter on so many tables under the name of boiled rice is a sorry travesty upon this wholesome dish when It is proper ly cooked. Table Talk. Everybody Should Una. A writer on singing says: "At the present era, when physical culture Is a part of the curriculum of our most intellectual schools and is so generally regarded as a necessary element to ward supplying and maintaining the sound body for the sound uiind, It Is worth while to consider a recent state ment of eminent physicians that the mere exercise of singing Is a grent bolp toward the prevention, cure or amelio ration of lung diseases. It was dis closed by statistics lu Italy some years ago that vocal artists are usually long lived and that brass Instrument play ers, who bring their lungs and chest into unusual activity, have not bad a consumptive victim among them. No matter how thin or weak the voice, young people should be encouraged to Indulge in song. There could be no happier medicine, and If bearers some times suffer they should be encouraged to bear the infliction in, view of the good it may do," .. ' , ... . The Data) r Ant.

The keen sense of discom fort aroused by the presonce of dirt Incites to cleansing. Often one may see an nut suddenly pause In the midst of the duties of Held or formicary and begin to comb herself. Here Is n moun tain mound maker driven by tlin pas sion of nest building to the utmost fervor of activity.

Ocean Cannibals. Such fierce carnivorous fishes as ex ist In the depths of the ocean are un known nt the surface. There Is a "black swallower" which devours other finny creatures ten times ns big ns It self, literally climbing over Its victim, first with one Jaw and then with the other. Another species Is nearly all mouth, nnd hnvtng no power of loco motion It lies buried in the soft ooze nt the bottom, Its head alone protruding, ready to engulf any prey that may wander Into its cavernous Jaws. There ts a ferocious kind of shark, resembling a huge eel. All of these monsters nro black ns Ink. Some of them lire per fectly blind, while others have enor mous, goggling eyes. No rny of sun light ever pierces the dark, unftithomed caves In which they dwell. Each species Is gobbled by the species next bigger, for there Is no vegetable life to feed on. Spare Moments. The Forests of the Amnion, According to some astronomers the greenish patches on the planet Mars Indicate woodland regions, nnd a scien tist predicts that centuries after the rest of this earth has become ns bnrron as the mountains of the moon Martian astronomers will still distinguish here bright green spots of considerable ex tent near the east coast of South Amer ica. The, forests of the Amazon valley, be thinks, ure practically extermination proof. An average of I.ihk) rank trees, shrubs and creepers cover every acre of ground and n year's neglect Is enough to obliterate ull tracer of the most thorough clearing. A film of spon taneous vegetation soon covers the de serted Held, trees rihoot up and the sylvan deities resume their ancient away. Hypnotic Influence. An extraordinary story of the Imposi tion of ono will upon another was told before the psychological section, of tho British Medical association at Oxford Dr. Eldrldge-Grccii 'said that he was talking with u patient on the subject of hypnotism. The patient, u lady of more than average force of character. said she delicti any man to send her to sleep and make her do as he wished "I told her It was not necessary to semi her to sleep," said the doctor, "and added, 'You will wake at fi o'clock to morrow morning and will semi me u post curd desplto your own wishes to say no.' I got that post card. It was somewhat to this effect: 'I have been trying not to write to you, but I did wake at 5.' " Good Dread For Dyspeptics. Pulled bread Is served at several of the best restaurants, nnd It Is not only palatable, but much better for people Inclined to bo fat or dyspeptic than or dlnary brend. When kneading the bread for baking do 'It In such a way that the grain will be lengthwise of the loaf. When baked and before It is cold remove the crust, pull the loaf Into halves and again Into quarters lengthwise of the loaf. Keep dividing it until the bread is of the desired shape; It Is usually In long pieces about two Inches lu circumference. Place the pieces ou a rack, put In u pun and dry out the moisture In a slow oven and color n light brown. Writing la the Sand. It uiuy be news to many persons that the use of sand for teaching children to write and form their letters is still practiced In some of the small schools in the rural districts of the north of England. Thousands of our forufu thers learned to write nnd to inuke fig ures wlth'n sharp pointed stick manip ulated upon a smooth stretch of sand In an age when copy books were uunttaln able and steel puns undreamed of.

Ill their antennae, or feelers, ants have Ave noses, each of which has Its own duties to perform. One nose tctls the ant whether It Is In Its own nest or that of on enemy j another nose discriminates between odors of ants of the same species, but of different colonics; a third nasal or gan serves the purpose of discerning the scent laid down by the ant's own feet, so that It may be able to retrace the way quite easily; a fourth nose smells tho larvae and pupae, nnd the fifth nose detects the presence of an enemy. If an ant be deprived of a certain nose. It will live peaceably with ene mies, but If It retains Its fifth nose It will light the alien to the death. There Is n til (Terence In the functions of nose one and nose five, although they ap pear to be somewhat alike. This senso of smell does not couie till the nnts are three days old. If, therefore, nuts only twelve hours old are placed among others belonging to different colonies, they will grow up quite amicably and not understand that they are a mixed lot, because they will have grown up with Ideas of scent In accordance with their sur roundings. The sense of smell to them Is ns Important as the sense of sight to human beings. EARTH LIGHT. Evidences That Onr Planet Possesses a Lnmlaona Quality. In proof that the earth does emit light Humboldt (180S) points to the aurora horealls. The light produced by this luminous arch Is distinct from that received from the sun, and Its In tensity slightly exceeds that of the moon's light In her first quarter. At the poles this glow continues with scarcely n break, reminding us of the planet Venus, whose side turned awny from the sun often gives forth a feeble phosphorescent light Humboldt goes on to argue that oth er planets also may possess a similar luminous quality, and in our atmos phere there are other evidences of this emission" of light from the earth Itself. Such were tho famous dry fogs of VX nnd of 1831. which gave forth light perceptible at night and such Is that diffused glimmer which guides onr steps In the nights of autumn and win ter, when cloiiits hide the stars and the earth Is not covered with snow. It is therefore not entirely true that, us Kir Norman Lockyer puts It. "the earth cannot give out more light thnn a cold poker can." . GENIUS AT WORK. Curloue I'ustnrea of Some Men to Woo a Floir of Ideae. Lombroso says that some men of genius in order to give tlioinselves up to mediation even put themselves arti ficially Into ii state of cerebral semi congestion. Schiller worked best with bis feet plunged into Ice. Descartes buried his head In a sofa while modi tnting. while Milton composed with his head leaning over his easy chair. I'lilslello composed benenth a monti' tain of bedclothes, and Itosslnl found bed the best place for his best works. Cujas worked lying prone on the car pet, and Liebuils Is said to have been obliged to assume the horizontal to medltnto at ull satisfactorily. Rousseau worked with Ms head lu the full glare of tho sun, Shelley on the hearth rug with his head close to the Ore, and Bosstiet retiring to a cold room, wrap ped his head In hot cloths. it ' Is possible that some of these devices Increased the flow of arterial blood to the bead, just as, many can think best when exhilarated by rapid exercise or by walking up and down a room. Whistler and Ills Tailor. "Curious enough," wrote Mortimer Menpcs, "whenever one came In con' tact with. Whistler one entirely forgot ones own affairs and became com pletely occupied with his. The fit of the master's cout was fur more lmpor tunt to mo than my own artistic work At the tailor's Whistler would give an elaborate description of bow a certain coat was to be made, and the tailor would carry out bis directions literally. But no sooner hnd the man accomplish ed tho work than Whistler would say: 'This Is all wrong. How dare you say that It Is what I told you to do? I am a painter. It is not my business to make coats. Thut Is your province. Therefore you should have led me to do what you knew to be right.' " Right to the Point. To do even the most humble work worthily and well something more than blind mechanical service must Jie giv en. A young mistress once asked her conk about a certain recipe. "Just how much Hour do you put In, Mary?" "Low, mum, you don't follow any rule you Just use your Jedgment!" "But suppose you don't have any 'Jedg' incut.' " returned the puzzled mistress.

Wtr Horses Have and Danker Bare Rot the ShrlasT Habit. Horses shy because they are descend ed from ancestors accustomed to roam over plains, where any tuft of grass or bush might conceal an enemy waiting to spring on them. Under these cir cumstances they must often have saved themselves by at once starting away on observing any sudden or unexpected movement or on coming without warn ing upon some strange object This Is supposed to have become n habit which bus descended to their domesticated descendants. The donkey, on the other bund, Is descended from animals which dwelt In the hills, among which there were precipices and dangerous paths, hence the sure fnotedncs and comparative slowness of the donkey. His ancestors were not tn liable to sudden attacks of wild beasts mid of snakes. Moreover, sudden ntnl wild starts ou alarm would have been positively dangerous to them. 11,'in e they learned to avoid the very habit which proved so useful to the horse In the plains. The habit of eating thistles, which Is almost iiecullnr to the donkey, Is also supposed to come from these same an cestors. Living In dry and barren lo calities, they founil little food and hence learned to eat hard sad dry and. If neccssuiy, prickly plants. The Professor Found Out.
