the Tri-Pitikes of the Buddhists,
the five Kings of the Chinese, the
three Vedas of the Hindoos, the
Zendavesta of the Persians, the Ed
das of the Scandinavians and the
Bible of the Christians. The Ed
das is the most recent and cannot
really be called more than a semi
sacred work. 1t was given to the
world some time during the four

The Koran is the next most an

sublime thoughts from both the old

these men, used as they are TO the wild
beasts in their forests, will not give url-
necessary advice; and have always
found it paid in the end.
Tho gorilla had dropped upon all
fours-the attitude in which he travels
most easily-but sight of us renewed
his fury in an instant. He stood erect
on his long limbs, and, with roar that
shook the forest, advanced slowly,
but without hesitation, toward us, beat
ing his breast with his arms. This
seemed a favorite gesture with him, for
in the ten minutes we had been watch
ing him he had three times made use OF
it. l cannot better describe the noise
accompanying it than TO compare II TO
the native tam-tams, as played in the
funeral professions. He struck his
chest tremendous blows in arhythmical
way, broken by perfect roulades Of
roars, and his eyes flashed fire. Tho
chief made me q courteous sign tn at he
gave me the first shot; and Thursday,
translating, said: "Wait until he has
passed the trunk of that palm; and
above all, do not miss himl"
The tree he meant was not more than
twenty PAGES from us. l raised my
rife carefully; the gorilla was ap.

breast; he had hardly crossed the line
when my rifle-shot rang through the
forest and the huge brute fell without
a cry
The report had been deafening. I
sprang forward to see the effect of the
explosive ball, but Thursday held me
back.
Look out" he cried; "he may have
some life in him; and one blow from
his talon-like fingers would lay you
open like squirrel"
The advice was too good to be disre.

shooting with this terrible form of am,

never have seen an animal live If the
ball once reaches him. And indeed
this case proved no exceptions; tho 60

On measuring him, we found his
waist nearly two yards in circuinfer

said they were wooded hills, the haunt

always found plenty OF game.
Nothing can be more lovely than the
African forests early in the morning.
We were threading narrow trails,
hardly disturbed by the bare feet OF
the native hunters, between endless
hedges Of banana and young palm trees
covered with their golden and savory
fruit; while between their trunks we
could see long stretches OF green, wavy
grass, soft as velvet, in the morning
light.
Soon the cultivation ceased, and the
land for miles was covered with pepper.

We. camped that evening in another

was now necessary to observe the
greatest caution, as at any moment we
might meet tiger, q panther or a

However, before night we arrived

Fan village whence Thursday came.
The chief, to whom he introduced me,
shook hands in the European fashion
and asked me If had not "a present for

told hi "A had come to shoot man

next morning, and then invited me to
feast at which monkey, some fowl
and bunch Of bananas cooked in the
ashes composed the bill Of fare. The
monkey was not ut all TO my taste,
and confined myself to the other
dainties; but the Fans devoured in an
instant all that left.
We started early, the chief and
Thursday leading US up a narrow val

BLUSHlNG MOI AN ART.
It II Natures Own Method of Showing
Emotion.

It II Natures Own Method of Shown q
Emotion.
Blushing is not an art, as many peo'
pie are too prone to suppose. Neither
is IL an absolute sign of ill-breeding as
some unkind folk maintain. The fact
Is, IL is just as natural for some people
to blush on one occasion as it is for
others to turn pale on another. The
same laws of nature that govern the
one rule govern the other. The capil.
laries, or small blood-vessels, which
connect the arteries and veins in the
body form, particularly over the cheeks,
q network so fine that it is necessary to
employ a microscope to distinguish
them. Ordinarily the blood passes
through these vessels in normal volume,
giving only tho natural tinge Of the
complexion. But when some sudden
emotion takes possession of the heart
its action increases, and an electric
thrill instantly leaps to the checks.
This thrill is nothing more than tho
blood Just beneath the delicate surface
Of the skin.
The causes that bring about this con.
dition in the circulatory system are
called mental stimuli They consist Of
Joy, anger, shame and the many other
emotions. Sudden horror, remorse or
fear, on the contrary, influence the
nerves which control the blood-vessels
and the face becomes white. Blushing
and pallor result from the sudden
action of the mind on the nervous sys-
tenn. So If the mind be forewarned
and prepared for emotions both habits
can at least be partially overcome.
But when the nervous system is highly
strung IL would be q lifelong, IL not
futile, task to endeavor a permanent
cure. II is the sensitive, nervous girl

Measures for REFRESHING Rowdyism Among
the Boys OF Rose Polytechnic.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journai.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind. March 13.-The po-
lice authorities at last have deoIded to put
an end to the rowdyism of the Rose Poly
technic students. The superintendent of
police has given to President Eddy q copy
of the city ordinances. with the request
that be read those sections which provide
penalties for disorderly conduct on the
streets. Last Friday night the boys made
q racket on the street with their college
yells. and one of their number was arrested.
Owing to the dIsorderly incidents of class
~banqnets. the faculty have issued an order
prohibiting the freshmen banquet. which
was to ave been given soon. About two
weeks ago the sOphomores gave their ban
quet. One of the members of the class
who was down for q response to q toast
was kidnapped by q party of freshmen. He
was cOstumed In a wOman's night gown
and thrown bodily into the banquet room
at the hotel when the banquet was in
progress. The sophomores had determined
to get even, and for fear of a more serious
ending of a banquet the faculty decided it
should not be held. Many of the students
are incensed over the action of the faculty
and insist that what the students do out
side of the school Is not subject to faculty
discipline.

pany of q raise in the freight rate is the
action which the miners regard as signify
ing a purpose on the part Of some of the
larger operators to refuse to grant an in
crease in wages. The railroad named, as
also the Chicago 81 Indiana Coal road, Is
under the control of the same people who
control the output of the block coal of
Clay county. 1t has even been said that
the coal company gets q private freight
rate. Up To q few days ago the
block and bituminous operators belon ged

the price for mining. 1t being an accepted
condition that blOck-coal mining should
cost 10 or Is cents O ton more than bitumi-
nous mining. The block-cosl operators
broke away from the association. and after
the long strike reduced the mining rate TO
within 5 cents of what was paid for the
other quality of coal. A year ago. when
the miners were out for more wages, the
railroads named above announced an adj

ONLY CIRCUMsTANrIAL EVIDENCE.

Sons Of the Murdered Conrad Cannot BE
Connected Directly with the Crime.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
CoRYDON, Ind, March 13.-Samuel and
William Conrad, who are in jail here on O
charge of numbering their father, will nave
q preliminary trial before Squire Kirkham
March 90. Their arrest was the result of the
cOroner's verdict that they were guilty Of
the murder, Samuel as principal and Will
liam as accessory. The former is twenty
four, while the latter is thirty-seven. Mr..
Conrad was sixty-eight FEARS old, and
lived with his family, consisting of
his wife, two sons and q widowed
daughter. Last Tuesday he left home To
make slaves a quarter of q mile from his
hOnse. He did not come home at night.
and next morning was POUNDS at his place of
work, lying In an unconscious ~ coRdi-
tion on a pile of slaves. His skull
was fractured, and there were numerous
bruises on his body. His clothes were bad
ly torn and there were other evidences OF q
struggle. He was taken home and con-
tinued UNCONSCIOUS until he died Thursday
morning.
There Is no direct evidence against the
accused. A number of witnesses testified
that the sons had beaten their father and
driven him away from home frequently IN
the past, and that they had threatened to
kill the old man. One witness says that
one of the sons said. We've fixed him."
when speaking of his father last Wednes-
day morning. The old man had little
property. 1t is q mysterious case. and
there is much excitement over it, but there
has been no talk OF mob violence, as has
been reported.
