me again, very acute and severe. My joints

ease the pain, and to my agreeable surprise
1t did both. have used three fifty cent
bottles and believe it to be the finest thing
for rheumatism, pains and swelling extant.

eeth. The teeth are polished until they
are smooth and white as ivory. Each
.ooth is knotted to the wood by cord
made of human hair, passing through a
hole drilled in the tooth and another
drilled in the wood. The shorter spear
has ninety eight teeth, the longer 100.
About the middle of each stick curl
Gus piece of skin is fastened to the
wood. The skin is as thick as the
,toutest leather and covered with sharp,
white tooth-like projections. No one
connected with the academy knows what
the skin is, as nothing like it has ever
been seen here before. The exhibit is
accompanied by a broad, curving band
,f the same skin, but whether it is in
tended as an armor plate or not nobody
seems to know.

ECONOMICAL CELERY sour.

Many families of small means lcok
upon celery MS luxury. But there
is an economical way of treating the
large bunch of best celery which
makes it cheap. Use the finer ror-
tons of the crisp stalks as relish.
All the tough portions and the root
carefully cleaned are 10 be cut fine,
covered with cold water and cooked
slowly until nearly the whole can be
rubbed through II strainer. Halt an
hour before dinner heat the liquid cell
cry with I'M equal quantity OF any kind
of meat broth you happen to have in
the house, and then add one pint of
hot milk ihickened with white
sauce, with two ,easpo )nfuls each of
butter aud flour cooked together. Sea-
son with salt. Ii you have no broth
after your soup is in the turcen, stir into
1t slowly and smoothly the wcll-beatcn
yolk Of an egg and you will no; miss
at all the richness of the meat. New

The Academy OF Science, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, has added to the
treasures of the museum complete suit
Of ancient armor from the Gilbert Isl.
ands. Also, some odd pieces of warlike
paraphernalia used or worn by the dusk,
warriors. All of these articles are be-
lieved to be at least q hundred years
old.
The coat Of mail and helmet, all Ia
me piece, looks, when off the wearer,
Ike big wicker chair. When on, the
back Of the chair apparently rises above
the wearer's head, which passes up
through the seat of the chair. The low
arms, which are really straps, pass over
his shoulders. The solid portion Of the
lower part is the corselet, fastening
around the body.
This cur. .s garment is made of CO.
;oanut fibre, twisted around aud around
over thick cords, making dense fabric
stiff and stout as board. In color it re-
sembles unbleached linen. The material
is woven by hand, after which it is en-
broidered in regular pattern suggesting
groteslue human figures. This curious
needlework is executed with cords made
Of twisted human hair.
With the singular costume Just de.
,cribed are worn yoke and pair of
sleeves, also in one piece. Also, a pair
of leggings with short skirt at the top.
The skirt, leggings, sleeves and yoke
are made Of brown cocoanut fibre, braid
ed and knotted, until it looks very much
like the common cocoa mating. The
thickness of these garments is something
surprising. II would seem that arrows
or spears could not pepetrete this fabric.
The coat Of mail keeps all the portions
Of the costume in place. The chair.like
projection above the head is intended to
ward off arrows.
The work of making this costume
must have been incredibly tedious, judg-
ing, by the tineness and re yularity of twist,
stitch, strand and mesh. No doubt this
outfit of heather warrior represents the
labor of years and the slavery of women.
Possibly, carnage in addition, as the
hair used may have been taken FROM
slain captives. ......
With the suit of armor are two spears,
,ne eleven feet in length, the other four
teen. They are long, pointed sticks Of
cocoanut wood, armed with sharks
