certain that it was for this purpose
they found a place in the necklaces
worn by the ancient inhabitants of
Egypt and Etruria. In Italy they
are still in common use as preserv-
atives against evil, and in our own
land it is only within the present
century that they have ceased to
be carried as charms.
AS might be expected, the delud-
ed creatures who professed to prac-
tice witchcraft set high value on
arrowheads. They averred that they
were manufactured for their special
use by the arch fend and his imps,
and that so fatal was their power
that whoever was struck by them
must die, even though he were pro-
tected by coat of mail. In "The
Ancient Criminal Trials" of Scot
land there are many references to
this absurd idea. There it is stated
that the witches sometimes made
"picture of clay" representing the
person whose death they wished to
bring about, and that they threw
"elf-darts" at this clay image until
it was broken.

WeapCns of the Fairies.

Universal as was the use of arrow
heads in primitive times their real
purpose is now so generally un-
known that they are popularity be-
lieved to be "elf-darts" or "elf-
bolts" hurled by the fairies in their
efforts to injure man and beast,
says a writer in Good Words. This
singular belief is still more or less
widely prevalent in Great Britain
and Ireland, in Scandinavia, Italy
and France. Other people, such as
the Japanese, account for their Or
igin by imagining that they are
showered from heaven by an army OF
spirits that fly once year through
the air in the rain and the tempest.
The idea may possibly have arisen
from the fact, which l have more
than once verified, that arrowheads
are often found after a storm in
places where the day before there
was no trace of them, the rain hav-
ing in the meantime washed away
the mold and laid them bare.
But if the arrows of the elfin spirits
could do harm, they were also sup
posed to possess the virtue of re-
or averting evil. In the
remoter parts of Ireland, Scotland
and England the peasantry still be-
lieve that water in which "elf-darts"
and coins have been placed is an
infallible remedy for cattle that
have been shot at by the fairies.
Arrowheads, when used as amulets,
were further accredited with the
power of preserving the wearers
from danger and from the influence

An Interrupted Prayer.

Some seventy years ago, when a
menagerie was almost thing un.
known, and a solitary wild beast
was now and then carried about the
country for exhibition, says the
Wide Awake, a certain New Eng
land village was thrown into great
commotion by the news that an ell
ephant was to be exhibited in a
neighboring town. The village
which is the scene of my story was
not large enough to induce his ex-
hibitors to make any stay there,
but his road lay through it. Now,
an elephant could not be packed
away or in any manner be kept out
of sight. His journey must be in
full view, and everybody could get
a look at him, and everybody was
excited accordingly. Day after day
passed-no elephant. The exhibi-
ton had been advertised for a Mon
day, and Saturday night had come,
with no tidings of the famous trav-
eler. Sunday morning The Sound

congregation stood, devoutly atten-

was at least one exception, for DR..
Dobson's pew, near an open window,
commanded a view of the highway,
and DR.. Dobson's eyes, wide open,
were fixed upon the prospect. A
cloud of dust arose-then-slowly
above the hill opposite the window
the head Of the huge beast came
into sight. The eager doctor for

''the elephants coming! there he

finished his prayer tradition has
not told.

Immunity Against Poison Ivy.

There are a large number of per-
sons who will take an interest in
the statement that an immunity
against this plant can be secured.
At least it has been done in one in
stance, related by DR.. John Aulde
in the New York Medical Journal.
He says that DR.. George Kirkpat
rick, of La Harpe, ILL.,, took by mis-
take good swallow of the tincture
(of poison ivy?), and in order to
counteract the effect of the poison,
large doses of olive oil were ad-
ministered, and along with it about
ten grains of carbonate of sodium.
No immediate unpleasant effects
were observed until the second day
thereafter, when it was found that
there was complete desquamation
of the cuticle, and since that time
he is proof against the poison of
the plant.

The Fat and Lean.

A man afflicted with obesity went
to celebrated physician few days
ago and asked him for list of
things which he ought and ought

his weight. The doctor told him to
CALI the next day, when he handed
him this: Avoid liver and oysters
and CLANS, apples, arrowroot, bar
ley, beets, beans, white bread, cake,
crackers, chocolate, carrots, grapes,
gravies thickened with flour, honey,
macaroni, oatmeal, peas, parsnips,
potatoes, preserves and sweet fruits,

go, sugar, soups thickened with
rice, flour or barley, tapioca, cider,
champagne and other sparkling
wines, sweet wines, malt liquors.
May eat other meats, game poultry

which are left for him to devour.

Horrors in DahomeY.

A letter from Parls, giving details
of the adventures of DR.. Bayol, the
Governor of Kotonou, who was i'm
prisoned by the King of Dahoney,
appears in the Vossische Zeitung.
Dr. Bayol himself was not ill-treated,
but was forced to witness the most
horrible executions, and was closely
watched night and day by three OF
the most important chiefs. He was
forced to be present at the execu-
ton of his secretary and his inter-
prefer, and was spectator of the
sacrifice at one time of eighty-rour
human beings, and at another of
forty-two. The victims were bound,
mutilated in horrible manner, and
then, still alive, hung up by the
heels. Then their bodies were open
ed with large round knives and the
intestines taken out, after which the
corpses were thrown into a "place
of skulls" where in forty-eight
hours they were reduced by birds
OF prey TO skeletons.
DR.. Bayol was every time COM
PEELED to view each corpse, while
the executioners carefully turned
the heads Of their victims toward
him. Upon one occasion he de-
sired to buy off some negroes, whom
he recognized as proteges from Por-
to Novo, but the King angrily re-
fused to allow it. Every day his
dusky Majesty danced before the
Doctor, executing steps and jumps
which would have been highly en-
tertaining under other circumstan-
ces. At these times the King wore
sandals, and sort of Grecian cap
on his head, and six Amazons
danced with him.
The Amazons DR.. Bayol describes
as very fends. One day the Doc
tor witnessed spectacle which he
will never forget. At a sign from
the King 500 Amazons rushed upon
living OK, and tore it into pieces
in few seconds; then each, with
piece of raw flesh in her mouth,
marched off singing, while five of
their number held the skin and head
of their victim aloft in triumph. In
festal garments they witnessed from
the roofs of the neighboring huts
the human sacrifices of the next |
day, and laughed heartily. They |
always appear perfectly resigned
and go quietly to death when their
turn comes. The King is very sus-
picious and would not sign the
letter written to the President of
the French Republic. DR.. Bayol's
return to the coast was extremely |
dangerous, for he had no passport,
and was, therefore, obliged, in spite
of illness, to march more than fifty
miles in one day through country
with which he was quite unac
quainted. On arriving at Kotonou
he heard of the death Of the King,
whom, had he been still in Daho
mey, he would have probably been
accused of poisoning.

regarding it. Strangest of all was
that while the weather was quite
hot it began to rain -hailstones,
which did some damage to crops in
the surrounding district, and all
the small creeks began to swell UP,
some overhowing their banks, and
caused some of the temple walls to
fall down, and the people were
greatly frightened. Now the people
all agree that there must have been
a dragon in the spring which was
at the foot of the pagoda, and that
he must have risen and caused the
disturbance.

The Order in Which Teeth Decay

Russian observations have shown
that teeth decay in quite regular
order, the lower third molar being
the first attacked, then the upper,
then the lower fourth molar, and SO
on, the lower incisors and canine
teeth being the last affected. Upper
teeth, as a rule, are more durable
than lower, right than left, those of
dark persons than those of blondes,
those of short persons than those
of tall.

Near Kinkiang there is pagoda
which is over 100 feet in height, and
at the foot of this edifice there is

the Chinese as very sacred, says the

of this spring the weather was very

who lived near by that certain

SAFES THAT WOULD NOT WORK.
Difficulties That Were Overcome
by q Little Common Sense.

"Not long ago a firm wanted 8
man to fix their safe," said a safe
manufacturer to Boston reporter
ut was open, but they could
not shut the door far enough to
throw the bolts. The man went to
the place, and after brief exami-
nation saw penny resting on one
of the bottom hanges. Taking this
off, the door shut and locked all
right. It is forgotten how much it
cost the firm to have the man go to
their place and pick up that little
coin, but it was enough to prevent
it's being repeated no doubt. A
similar case happened recently.
We were sent for about the close of
business hours to see what was the
trouble with one of our safes. The
bolts would not throw far enough
to turn the lock. The result was
the finding of cloth button in the
lower bolt-hole. This removed, all
was right.
Some years ago we had delivered
a new set Of vault doors to bank
about 200 miles away. Just before
they were ready to occupy their new
quarters we had telegram to send
a man at once. The bolts Of the
outer door would not throw far
enough to lock it. Our man went,
and this is what he found: The
bank officers had fitted in board
for the tread of the vestibule, but
had omitted to bore holes in it to
allow for the throw of the bolts.
An auger and ten minutes labor
made everything all right, but made
that piece pieec of board arather extrav-
agant luxury. Epiculsfean-like, we
have reserved the best for the last,
For fear this may reach the eye of
the hero of the incident, l will sub
stitute for his correct address that
Of Calais, Me. 1t was not thou
sand miles from there. The letter
read to come at once and open a
safe, as there were important docu-
ments wanted for immediate use.
With his kit of tools, our man took
the next train and arrived on the
following evening. It proved to be
an old fashioned safe, with a large
key lock. There said the man,
is the safe. The lock has been
working harder and harder for
weeks, until now I am locked out.
[ am in hurry to have it opened. |
Never mind the damage, if you will
only break into it in short order
Dur expert took the key and tried |
It, but it refused to work. He then
,ook a small wire and picked out
lalf thimbleful of dirt and lint
rom the key, tried it again, and
better working lock was never seen.
How much is your bill?" As this
involved trip to and from Calais,
If about 900 miles, and time and
in proportion, he replied
40. Taking a roll of bills from
lis pocket, he said: "That is sat
sfactory, on conditions. Does any
me in the place know your business
lere?" The reply was No one.'
All right, then; get out by the next
rain, and keep mum; for would
lady pay 800 rather than have
ny of my friends know that 1 was
DOL enough to go to Boston for a
nan to pick the dirt out of my key"

THE relative value of gold and
silver is now matter of growing
interest to the commercial world.
With silver worth 1O34 per ounce,
gold is worth twenty times as much
as silver. The point where the free
coinage of silver is to be compul-
sorry by the proposed bill is when
its value reaches one e-sixteenth of
the value of gold. This will require
a further advance of only .255,
which will bring the price of silver
up to 1893, or one-sixteenth of the
value of gold.
