Poor Marie Antoinette.

"What woman can think of her without
a sigh-what mother can read Of her
without tear? After all the triumphs
of her days of prosperity, it is her days Of
adversely that linger longest in our
minds; we remember her not so much for
her beauty and success as for her beauty
and mistortunes. Sorrow has made her
immortal; the magniticence of her court
and its pageants has been almost forgot
ten," writes Annette B. Wells in the NeU
Peterson. She adds: at is all over now.
Royalty and genius, oppressor and op-
pressed, rest alike in eternal silence, so
tar as we are concerned. The poor young
Queen expiated her follies carried to such
excess that they almost became sins. by
an ignominious death croWniug her pre-
vious sutferings. and we no longer blame,
but pity her, even when we read the ar
arguments OF her enemies. They all
seem so pitiful and absurd to us now.
those eighteenth century attempts to con-
quer time and chain pleasure, to kill care
and bell elusive laughter, when read in
the Illuminating glare offs century of his
torical and social evolution. Did they
think they succeeded, we wonder? Was
the face behind a mask any gayer than
the souls behind a smile,' of which Mrs
Browning sings? We shall never know,
though the cbroniclers and chronicles OF
the court of Marie Antoinette are legion.
But we can make a sorrowful guess"

Renan'S AllegOrv.

The beautiful allegory, of which so pa
thetic use was made by NJ. Renan in
his ''Recollections OF My Youth" is thus
translated, the translation being written
by c. b. Pitman, and revised by Ma
dame Renan: 'One of the most pop-
ular legends in Brittany is that relating
to an imaginary town called Is, which is
supposed to have been swallowed up by
the sea at some unknown time. There
are several places along the coast which
are pointed out rs the site of this imag-
mary city, and the fishermen have many
strange tales to tell OF it. According to
them the tips of the spires of the
churches may be seen in the hollows of
the waves when the sea is rough, while
during a calm the music of their bells
ringing out the hymn appropriate to the
day rises above the waters. l often fancy
that l have at the bottom Of my heart
the city of Is; with its bells calling to
prayer recalcitrant congregation. At
times | halt to listen to these gentle vi
brations, which seem as if they came
from inmeasurable depths, like voices
from another world. Since old age be-
gan to steal over me have loved. more

The First Law of Nature.

This self-preservation is acknowledged
to be, and people who adopt against the
encroaches Of disease genuine medical
safeguard, accredited by experience and
the sanction ofphysicians, afford happy
illustration of the wisdom of the saying,
in the health they restore and continue
to enjoy. Among maladies, against the
growth of which Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters affords efficient protection, dis
eases of the kidneys and bladder are
traught with the utmost peril and exhibit
great obstinacy when opposed by ordin-
airy means. The Bitters can and will
subdue them. No testimony is stronger
than this. Used at the outset and per-
sistently the best results may be ex-
pected. This medicine also eradicates
liver complaint, constipation, dyspepsia,
malaria, rheumatism and nervousness.

Electric Cirar-Lirhtinp.

A sign in front of downtown cigar
shop reads, "Walk in and light your cigar
by electricity"
A Star writer responded to the invita-
ton. On the cigar counter was small
machine on a wooden base, the visible
part OF which consisted chiefly OF two OBJ
jects resembling in miniature the cleo
trodes commonly attached for grasping
with the hands to galvanic apparatus. A
printed card directed the customer to take
hold of one of these and pull it out of the
tube which held it.
1t was very simple affair. On pulling
out the metal rod the end of it came into
contact with a wire point, thus complet-
ing the circuit. Inside OF the rod was a
wick projecting slightly from its extrem-
ity. and this was set atire instantaneously
by the electric spark. The rod with
drawn from its tube made a small torch,
which was applied to the cigar. The rod
was then thrust back into the tube again,
the end of it going into an eXtinguisher,
by which the flame was put out. This

NOT PRETTY TROPHIES.
Human Heads Wcrn by the Napos l
diaus of Northern Chile.

"A remarkable tribe of Indians" said
Mr.. Childs, who was recently in South
America, to a Pittsburg Dispatch man.
ARE the Napos, who live in the northern
part of Chile. Instead of wearing
scalps at their belts as trophies, like
American savages, the heads Of their enc
mics dangle at their girdles. BY mys-
terlouS process, known only to them
selves, they remove all the facial and
Uranium bones without cutting the skin
or destroying the interior. The head is
| then reduced, without manning any OF
| the features, to the size of a mans fist
Mr.. ChlldS brought one Of these heads
with him and he intends TO put it in the
museum Of the Carnegie Library here
In San Francisco he showed it to the
Comfy Medical Society and the doctors
offered him 81 900 for it. lie said no sum
OF money would buy it. He thinks there
is one i'll the Smithsonian institution
and, outside of his own, he doesn't be-
Heve there is another in the United
States. The Indians discovered they
could sell the heads to the whites at a
good price, and TO prevent them from lur-
ing the people into mountains ana killing
them, or numbering the aged OF the tribe
and preparing their heads, law was
passed iorbidding their sale.
Through the kindness of General Caa-
mauo and General Sorsby, the American
COllSu1 dG lLCUduOE, MT. CnlIQS secured
the head. lie says General Sorsby has
eight orders for heads from museums and
colleges in the United States, and he is
afraid he will not be able to get them
The head and face that MIR. Childs has is
not as large as a baseball. BY the secret
process the bones were removed and the
features reduced. All the hair on the
original head is still there. 1t is long and
black, and probably reached to the shoul-
ders. The Indians put string through
the lip for every enemy they had slaiu.
This head had four strings in the lip, and
the mouth is drawn out of shape. The
microscope reveals the pores OF the skin
greatly crowded together. The head was
cut of even with tie shoulders, and there
is hole in the windpipe, directly under
the chin, where the victim was evidently
stabbed. A number Of people have looked
at the head, and all are puzzled how it
was prepared. General Caamano thinks
that Immediately after the bones are
taken out red-hoU gravel is put into the
head. The heat reduces the size, tans the
skin and makes it hard and tough. Then
the gravel is removed.

made it ready for the next person who
might desire light
1t was explained that the wick ran all
the way through the rod, and OCCASION
ally it was necessary to unscrew the
handle and pour in small quantity Of
oil, enough to keep the wick supplied.
The battery was concealed in the wooden
base and was calculated to last for a cou-
pie Of years without removal.
Before long this device is to be applied
to small contrivances of a size suitable for
being carried in the pocket, battery and
all being put up in bulk about half that
OF an ordinary revolver. Thus the smoker
will be enabled to light his cigar or cigar
cite by electricity always, instead of using
matches. One advantage of this plan will
be that it will serve perfectly well in a
gale of wind-Wa Washington Star.

KANGAROO HUNTING.
oomerang-Throwlng In the Austria
liam Bush.

The black man watched the kangaroos
intensely for moment, and ne seemed to
be taking kind of measurement of their
distance from the foot of the palm. Then
he drew back and second black man
took his turn at looking, with the bush
branches for screen, and he also drew
back. He put down the twigs. and the
two seemed to be studying. Two men
who could neither count nor measure as
civilized men count and measure were
in reality counting and measuring as ac-
curately as if they had been a pair OF sur
veyors with perfect instruments. They
had dropped their speerS and sticks be-
fore peeping out at the kangaroos, and
now each of them stopped and picked up
a queer, crooked club. All the other
black men lay fiat in the grass, while
these two went on with their puzzling op-
eratlOns. Neither of them could see any
part of q kangaroo through the trunk of
the tree. Each stood and balanced him
self, leaning forward, with his bit of
curved wood held in his right hand by
one end. These crooked sticks were not
much over two feet long, perhaps not
over two or three inches wide at the cen-
ter, the widest part, and were made to
taper at each end. They were curved on
one face and flat on the other and sharp at
the edges. You would have said great
pains had been taken to shape these sticks
so that it would be impossible for any
body to throw them straight or make
them hit any object they were thrown at.
Each black man held his dark, heavy
looking wooden weapon with the flat side
down, until ne had finished his balanc-
ing and calculating, and then he suddenly
drew back and hurled it from him, with
a peculiar, jerking twist of his wrist. AL
most at the same moment, each of them
stopped and picked another and threw it,
and then a third. AS the third cast was
made, each uttered a loud, screoching
yell, the two harsh cries bursting forth at
almost the same second, followed by wells
from all the rest of the party as thew
sprang from the grass, seized their spears
and sticks and bounded forward.
Ned and Hugh had noted every move
ment of the green mask by the palm, and
the kangaroos must also have begun to
suspect danger, for all of them had ceased
feeding, sat upright and pricked their
ears and turned their pretty heads in
quiringly. The largest of them was in
the very act OF rising for forward bound
when something struck him upon the
neck, Just above the shoulder.
There had been a faint whizZinp and
whirring in the air. 1t began behind the
cabbage-palm ana went out sidewise and
upward through the air, while something
dimly visible flashed away, in a wide.
sweeping curve. Up, up, up went the
whiz ana whirl, and then down, down,
after a strange, mysterious fashion,
closely accompanied by another, Just Ink o
it. Then there was a thud, thud-and the
great kangaroo did not not make his leap,
He rolled over and over in the grass. tor
one of those wonderful missiles had act
uaIly broken his neck. And another
kangaroo had fallen also.-W. O. Stod-
