Travelling in the east last year, from
Arabia to Palestine, / met a good Armen-
ian Catholic priest coming from Meso-
potamia. Among various articles of diet
he brought with him in his journey to
Constantinople there were about five
pounds of mama incased in a leather
bag. At his meals he partook of that
food as we do of cakes. He positively
maintained that such food falls from
heaven as white powder two or three
times a year, and is collected from the
leaves of trees and from the surface OF
flat stones. The food, when protected by
leather, will keep for five or six years. l
send you a piece of this mamma for curl
osity. l eat of this food, and it contains
a great deal of sugar. From the posi-
tive description of the good priest it an
not be a natural ~exudation from the
leaves and branches Of the plant alhagi
maurorum, which vas believed by the
early Arabian writers to have fallen
from heaven. The good priest had ex-
cellent credentials. We both were al.
lowed to say mass at the historical Fran.

The favorite sword for performing
feats in India is the gauntlet-ha handled
pata. The swordsman will first show
the keenness of his weapon, and his com
mand of its weight, by cutting in two a
leaf laid flat on the outstretched palm OF
a friend, or by cutting a cloth hanging
loose in the air. He put n sword on
each hand, and, SO armed, ~springing
from his feet on the bare ground, will
throw somersaults backward and for
ward, following each movement with a
wondrously complicated and simultane-
GUS gyration Of both swords round his
head and body. He will have the naked
sword, more than five feet long, double
edged, sharp-pointed, and keen as a
razor, dashed from the back of his neck
down his back, and will again, from his
naked feet, repeat the somersaults.
Again, with sword and shield in his
hands, he will leap headforemost through
the stretched-out loop of a rope, held by
two men at the height of their heads, Us
a circus-rider leaps through a paper
hoop, and light safely on his feet

A LITTLE SUFFERER
CIsansed, Purified and Beautlhed by the
Cutlcura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure to give you this
report OF the cure of our little %grandchild
by your Cuticura Remedies. When SIX
months old his left hand began to swell
and had every appearance OF a large boil.
We poulticed 1t, but all to no purpose.
About five months after it became a run
ming sore. Soon other sores formed. lie
then had two of them on each hand, and
as his blood became more and more i'm
pure it took less time for them to break
out. A sore came on the chin, beneath
the under lip, which was very offensive.
His head was one solid scab discharging a
great deal. This was his condition at %
months old, when | undertook the care of
him, his mother having died when he was
a little more than II year old, of consump-
ton (scroiula, of %course). lie could walk
a little, but could not get up if he fell
down, and could not move when in bed,
having no use in his hands. | immedia-
tely commenced with the Cuticara Rene
dies, using the Cuticura and Cuticua
Soap freely, and when he had taken one
bottle Of the Cuticura Resolvent his head
was completely cured, and he was improv-
ed In every way. We were very much
encouraged, and continued the use OF the
Remedies for a year and a half. One sore
after another healed, a bony matter form
ing in each one of these five deep ones
Just before healing, which would finally
grow loose and were taken out; then they
would heal rapidly. One of these ugly
bone formations | preserved. After taking
a dozen and a half bottles he was compile
tely cured, and is now at the age of e
years n strong and healthy child. The
scars on his hands must always remain;
his hands are strong, though we once
feared he would never be able TO use
them. All that physicians did tor him did
him no good. All who saw the child before
using the Cuticura Remedies and see the
child now consider il a wonderful cure. If
the above facts are OF any use to you. you
are at liberty to use them. Mrs. u. s.

ton than he appeared to his grandmother,

Talking recently with n relative of
Thaddeus Stevens, 1 learned Of an act in
his youth which resembled the stoical
heriosm hat was taught to the youths of
ancient Greece. He was born with a
club foot, which was not only malformed
but was twisted on one side. His brother,
who afterward sat on the bench in Yer
mont, was similarly disfgured in both his
feet. Thaddeus was lame and sickly up
to his sixteenth or seventeenth year. His
twisted foot was always a great eyesore
to him, and one day while the family was
living in Peacham, Caledonia county,
where he was born, his mother heard him
groaning and talking to himself just out
side the door OF the house. Going out she
found that he had taken his clubfoot in
his lap, and with his penknife had deliber-
ately severed the tendons and was forcing
the foot straight, where he bound it with
splints oil the side, tying them on with
his handkerchief which he had torn into
shreds, saying meanwhile to himself; 'Irn
fix you straight II l have to cut you clean
off, When his foot healed the limb had
been somewhat Strengthened, but the club
foot remained as n deformity up to his
death.-N. Y. Tribune.

observation-disclosures tho Lion.


Discipline and Duties of tho Ancient
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the Lion
Religious duties were strictly pre-
scribed, but were modified by good sense.
The knights, as a rule, were to attend
the regular chapel services; but If they
had been out On duty at night they were
let off mathis, and might say their
prayers in bed. II they had done any
thing wrong or foolish they were to con
fess to the Grand Master or head of the
house; if it was a breach of discipline
the head of the house set them a PEN
ance; if it was a sin they were sent to a
priest, who at first was a secular outside
the order.
They had little leisure; their chief oc-
cupation was war. When not in the
field they had their arms and horses to
look after, which they were allowed to
buy themselves. charging the account to
the house. Except by leave of the
superior they were to hold no correspond
ence with any one in the outer world,
not even with mothers, sisters, or broth
ers. No brother of the order might walk
about alone, or, when in a town, go into
viz Attbo dAiCoo With cav dohtd IN
given. Fighting men had hot blood, and
hot blood required to be restrained. Even
an angry word spoken by one to another
was instantly punished, and SO was all
light talk, especially when it turned on
the other sex. If a brother of the Tenn
pie wanted to converse it must be on
serious or, at least, rational subjects. The
most innocent amusements were consid-
cred trifling, and were not to be encour-
aged. A Templar was not to hunt or
hawk or shoot, still less to play idle
games.
One exception only was made; it is q
very noticeable one, which, by the bye,
had not escaped Sir Walter. In Syria
and Palestine there were still wild beasts,
as there had peer in David's time. st.
Bernard could not permit his Templars
to hunt deer or net cartridges; he did,
however, by special statute, allow them
to hunt lions. And, mind, those wert
no days of repeating rifles and explosive
bullets; it was man and lion face to face,
with spear and knife against teeth and
claws. The lion no doubt in st. Bernardo
mind was a type of the adversary; to

the less, just as he had taken care that
they should eat and drink enough, and
not emaciate themselves like intending
saints, so he would have them men at
all point, and give them sport, too, SO
long as it was dangerous and needed
courage.
1t was customary in those days when
men of rank were taken in battle to hold
them to ransom, the price of redemption
being measured by their wealth. The
Templars had no personal wealth, and
the wealth of the order was to be spent
in Gods service, MOI in mans. If a
Templar was taken by the Saracens no
ransom was to be paid for him; he was
to be left to his fate. His fate invariably
to be offered the alternative Of the Koran
or the sword, and there is scarcely a re-
corded instance in which the Templar
saved his life by abandoning his faith

In Italy an extensive business is carried
on in drying tomatoes. They are dried in
preference to being canned. The tomatoes
are allowed to remain on the vines until
they are quite ripe, when they are picked
and pressed into bags made of coarse cloth,
which allows the pulp to press through
while the seeds n skins are retained.
The pulp is then spread out thinly on
cloth, boards or shallow dishes, and ex-
posed to the sun to dry. When 1t has be-
CONF quite dry 1t is broken up fine or
ground and put into boxes or bags and
sent TO market. 1t is largely used in
soups, but much Of 1t is employed ms we
do tomatoes preserved in tins or other

Rain-in-the-Eace

Rain-in-the-face, the sub-chief of the
Dakota Sioux, who was in the battle of
the Little Rosebud and was the Indian
who shot Custer, has appealed to the In
dian Bureau 10 be allowed to attend school.
He desires TO come East and enter Hamp-
ton Indian school in Virginia. Rain-in-
the-face is now 40 years cd, and has been
for several years located at Cheyenne
Agency, in Dakota. He has always been
an influential man among the various
bands, but has found ont that an IndiaG
with more education like Red Cloud is
stronger with the young men of late
years than the ignorant chiefs. Hence
his desire for some education. The In
dian bureau is by no means satisfied that
granting this request would be judicious.
There is strong feeling of Rain -in-the-
face In the west rs the murderer of Gus
ter, and the late criticisms in The papers
in the west on fayors shown Indians who
had killed white men has rendered the
bureau cautious in the matter.

The Two Armies at Charlottesville.

Gen. II. j. Hunt, chief of artillery of
the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg.
describes the battle of the first day in
the November Century. He prefaces the
narrative with a short reference to Chan
cellorsville, from which we make this ex-
tract; The morals of the Confederate
army was, however, much higher at that
than that of its adversary. 1t was com
posed of men not less patriotic, many of
whom had gone into the war
with reluctance, but who now felt that
they we're defending their homes. They
were by this time nearly all veterans, led
by officers having the confidence of the
government, which took pains to inspire
its soldiers with the same feeling. Their
successes were extolled and magnified
their reverses palliated or ignored. Ex-
aggerations as to the relative numbers of
troops had been common enough on both
sides but those INDUCED in at the South
had been echoed, sometimes suggested,
IN the North by portion of the press
and people, so that friends and enemies
united in inspiring in the Confederate
soldier a belief in himself and a con
tempt for the enemy.
In the Army of the Potomac it was
different; the proportion of veterans was
much smaller; cessation a recruiting at
the very beginning of active operations,
when men were easily obtainable to ST p
ply losses in existing regiments had been
followed, as emergencies arose, by new
leyles or short periods of service, and in
new organizations which could not readi-

there were special difficulties. The Army

False Pretenses Exposed.
Macon Telegraph.

1t is related of well-known Macon
man that he recently went to Griffin and
ate Kded church with a young lady on
whom he was very sweet. When the con
tribution box started on its rounds the
Young man took a fve-dollar gold piece
out of his vest pocket and displayed it in
such way that the young lady saw it.
She mildly rebuked his extravaganza, but
he said he often contributed that much
especially when in strange churches
Watching his chance he slipped the gold
coin in his pocket and slyly took out
silver quarter which he as slyly dropped
into the box when it reached him. This
fixed the impression on the young lady
that her beau was generous and held the
church in high esteem. At the close of
the services as was custom of the church
the amount in the box was announced.
The total was 1915. Griffin has no charm
for the young man now.

Wonderful Lake Tahoe.
San Francisco Chronicle

The lake has great depth and olearness.
The soundings have been made at 1,6t5
feet, and small white object eau be seen
los feet below the surface. Strong sun
light will penetrate the water at GOO feet.
The bodies of drowned people never rise,
and it is supposed that the cold is so
great on the lakes surface that no decom-
position takes place, conseq uently there
are no gases generated. The coloring of
the lake varies in intensity, but is eener-
ally deep, rich blue. Near shore the
hues are lighter than where the water is
deep, ard the dividing line between the
two shades is strongly marked
