The Fancy Work Fair and Conun-
drum Supper. given at the Belo House

Saved from the flood.
Hidden tears.

one hundred and twenty-five dollars
during both evenings, but they cannot

profits. 1t is understood, however,
that the profits will be fully equal to

"To catch a boa constructor is q diff
cult and dangerous task" says a man
who makes it his business to capture
wild animals and reptiles for menagerie
purposes. 1T is accomplished by a laby.
rinthian tangle, embracing sixty square
feet of ground. The labyrinth is made
by joining together, end on end, pieces
of mating. This web is eight feet high
usually, and placed so that the opposing
walls will be two feet apart All sorts
of crisscross and diverging combinations
are made with the matting-it is sup
ported here and there by stakes-making,
when it is set, geometrical puzzle that
might well challenge the ingenuity of
man.
"The trap is baited with live pig.
which is placed in pen in the corner of
the labyrinth. By and by along comes
the boa constructor. 1t is easy enough
to get in. He scents the prey; he is
very hungry; the pig is devoured, and
here the boa comes to grief. For hours
he tries to release himself, but finally
he grows tired and stretches himself out
for a nap. Then is our time. We open
the labyrinth and catch Golden

In an old tower in Nuremburg there
Is room set apart especially for the
preservation of the curious instruments
of torture used during the uncertain
period historically referred to as the
Middle Ages. In that room You can
see thumbscrews of the most approved
pattern closely arranged along shelves
filled with ''liar helmets" and ''bridles''
for gossiping women. One horrid relic
called the 'spike Wheel" is heavy
cylinder, on one side of which stand OUT
two or more score of sharp iron spikes.
In days of old, when an offender had
been sentenced to undergo a trolling
he was stripped naked and firmly bound
on plank, face down. In this position
the ''spike Wheel was slowly dragged
up and down his back, the number of
times depending upon the gravity of the
crime and the wording of the sentence.
In several instances the poor victims
We're prodded so full of holes that they
died before they could be removed from
the plank. When death was intended
the number of ''rolls' was not speci-
fed, but double length spikes, heated
red hot, were put in the surface of the
cylinder. This mode of carrying out
capital punishment was hardly as expe-
ditious as the guillotine, but it was
equally as certain.-St. Louis Republic.

Some of my most intimate acauaint-

the California groves. 1t seems almost
unnecessary to cage them, they are SO
happy among the ever blooming trees,
but cages hang in balconies, at doors

under the caves, and passing down the
streets one hears at all hours gushes OF
melody from the wonderful mimickers
in their prisons. 1t is cheerful sound,
yet like better to listen to them as they
fit at will where the red pomegranates
flower, where the wild figs rear their
massive canopies, where they may hide
their young as they choose in the fra

Lung power and capacity may be won
derfully increased and strengthened by
constant repetition OF the syllable
"ah' on the three or four notes in the
middle register Of the voice; that is, the
three or four notes which one sings most
naturally and with the least effort. Let
the pupil get one note clear cut, round,
full and musical; then from that note as
a starting pointlet him go up and down,
gradually working out the huskiness
from the adjacent notes and sounding
them until they become pure and reso-
nant and can be delivered without strain
or effort.
Let him work Systematically and.
above all, avoid the pernicious trick of
learning 'pieces" by rote or by ear. His
first effort should be to increase the
purity and range of his voice, and to
that end he should, as suggested above,
use the broad syllable 'ah" only for
time, and on no account should he try
to sing an air until he can do SO under
standingly, with a full knowledge of
musical notation and a perfect command
of his vocal sources.-Demorests Mag

In Sumatra there is a very singular race
of human beings called the kubus. They
are the most timid and bashful people in
the world, being too shy to mingle with
the other races of the island. They dwell
in the darkest recesses of the mountain
forests and have seldom been seen by white
men. One has never been known to
willingly face a stranger. This being the
case their trade with the Malayans is car
ried Oh in a very strange way. The trader
announces his arrival by beating a gong
and then retires from the place of rendez
vous The shy Kubus then approach, put
their forest treasures on the ground, beat
the traders gong and retreat. The trader
then returns and lays his commodities
down in quantities sufficient to pay the
purchase price of the goods on sale.
He then disappears for a second time
this to give the Kubus a chance to return
and consider the bargain. After many
Withdrawals, approaches, gong heating,
etc, an understanding is arrived at and
each party carries away his bargain. This
remarkable race know nothing OF su
preme being, heaven hell or evil demons.
They have no system of marriage and
never bury their dead. They live on snakes,
ants, bugs. grubs, etc.-St. Louis Republic
