The Montana of south America and Its
Inhabitants.

Eastern Peru, though changing It's
political title at various periods, has
been called the Montana or wooded
country since the first colony was
planted there, two hundred and fifty
six years ago, says writer in Harper 5
Weekly. The experiences of the early
settlers were an endless succession OF
romantic adventures. Towns were
built and destroyed many times. and
there is scarcely a single site which has
not been bathed with the blood Of white
and Indian through centuries Of con
fiict. Spanish and Peruvian possession
of this territory has consequently been
the last twenty years. during which
time several Of the old mission stations
have fiourished forth into cities of from
two thousand To six thousand in5ab-
itants under the commercial stimulus
given by the opening OF the Amazon 70

THE NOON DRAGON.
How an Eclipse of the Moon Is Regarded
in Oriental Lands.

How an Eclipse of the Moon Is Regarded
in Oriental Lands.
It Is time-honored belief in Turkey
md many other oriental countries that
an eclipse of the moon is caused by n
huge dragon that seeks to devour our
"'silvery sister world" and in making
the attempt winds his Shiny body about
1T, thus hiding it from terrestrial OBJ
servers. A writer on the Brandon Ban
ner was in ConstantinOple on the night
of August %, 1877, the occasion of the
great eclipse throughout eastern Europe
and western Asia, and was witness to
the peculiar ceremony of "Kakai-mayi-
vi" which was calculated TO free Luna
from her scaly antagonist. There was
general attempt made to brighten the
dragon" by firing musletS and re-
volyers and by beating upon drums,
cynlbals, kitchen utensils, etc As in
times past, IL was soon found that the
moon was beginning to show her face,
and congratulations were everywhere
heard upon the victory gained. This
queer lunar superstition Is not confined
TO any class, but is believed in by the
rich and poor, ignorant and educated

Then as to the man who Is hardened

men to be criminals themselves, but how
to teach others to be criminals-how

stay until he is cured.
And now, what chance has our
brother, the discharged convict? Our
brother, indeed! Who treats him as p

AN UNCONSCIOUS TRICK.
Magician Hermann Has an Experience,
with Bank Note.

maslclan Hermann Has an Experience
with . Bank Note.
Hermann, the prestidigitator, is no
torious for his fondness for doing tricks
in public. He enjoys nothing better
Ehan to surprise a crowd with some
clever feat of Straightforward, then dis
appear in the crowd.
The other day he performed an in
voluntary trick-one he did not antici-
pate. He happened to jump on the front
OF Broadway car and found he had no
small change. He opened his pocl1etbool1
to get out a bill, and, in pulling out q
note of one dollar denomination, also
pulled out one hundred dollar bill that
was beneath it.
This for a moment futtered in the
wind The car window was open; it
made quick flip backward, and neatly
fell into a lady's hand satchel, which by
accident had been left open on her lap.
AS she was looking out of the window
she did not notice the circumstance
But Hermann walked back through the
car, inserted his fingers into the lady's
bag and drew forth the one hundred
dollar bill, pleased and triumphant.
The crowd in the car of course recog-
mixed the magician and set up a howl,
thinking it was one of his clever tricks
The lady, however, took the thing in a
different spirit She gotvery angry and
belabored him with her tongue and
threatened to call a policeman, and said
that she was not there to be made the
laughing stock of the public.
Hermann in every way tried to ex-
plain and satisfy her that he had not
selected her as the butt of one of his
practical jokes, but without avail.

TlCKlED THEIR VANITY.
Historical Incidents That Show That We
Can BE Flattered.

! During the early excuses of the
/ French revolution, rabble of men and
women were rioting in the streets OF
Paris. Lafayette appeared and ordered
young artillery officer to open FIRE up
on them with two cannon. The officer
begged the general to let him try first
/ to persuade them to withdraw.
1T is useless to appeal to their rea-
son." said the general
Certainly" answered the officer,
land it is not to their reason, but to
their vanity I would appeal"
The officer rode up TO the front of the
mob, dotted his cooked hat, pointed to
the guns and said:
Gentlemen will have the kindness
to retire, for / am ordered to shoot
down the rabble."
The street was cleared at once; for
none could brook the idea of being
classed with the scum of the city.
During the agrarian riots which dis
turbed England in 1883, mob of rick
burners and MAJ nine breakers appeared
at the old mansion of two elderly
ladies.
The walls of the hall were decorated
with suits of armor and antique
weapons-pikes, halberds, swords and
battle axes. The mob clamored for the
weapons and for drink. The ladies re-
fused their demands, and when the
mob seemed ready to resort to violence,
Miss Betty, the elder of the ladies, went
up to the leader, demonstrating man,
and said:
''You, too, of all the people in the
worldl I'm not surprised at these poor
misguided creatures. But that such
good-looking, intelligent man as you
should attack two defenseless women
does astonish me. You are the man I
should have looked TO for protection
But you are not the man l took you for.
Never again will trust to good looks"
There was no standing up against
that compliment. The man took OF
his hat and said:
Come, old lady, we amt so bad as
all that; only give rs some beer. We
would not harm hair of your head"
mo; know that" retorted Miss
Betty. You can't; wear a wig"
The mob roared with laughter and
retired without another word

Mr.. Arrowshooter rode home in deep

The boycott was upon him. No woman

rose from confusion, then like vic

field.
He had done his work well. He felt
a conqueror's pride as he glanced about
the room, from the table, sink and floor,
to the stove shining with fresh polish.
Tired and hungry he began to prepare
his supper. No great skill is required
to fry ham, bake potatoes and boil cof-
fee, but this simple menu held trouble
in store for Mr.. Arrowshooter. While
the viands We're cooking he went to the
pantry to skim the milk As he took
pan from the shelf he heard a strange
noise in the kitchen. A wornout hinge
had broken; one of the stove doors was
lying in the midst of ashes and charcoal
on the clean floor. He swept up the
ashes and went again to the pantry.
In short time another peculiar sound
attracted his attention.

The kitchen was full of smoke, which
poured out from the oven; ham fat was
swapping over the red-hot covers; the
handle had melted from the coffee-pot,
and one side of the oven lining had
fallen, sending a shower of SCOT over
the potatoes This lining fitted into
groove on the bottom of the oven, and
was fastened at the top by a sliding bar
which had a vexatious habit of slip
