A PECULIAR PEOPLE.

The Goajiri Indians. q Tribe Living In
South America.
The northeast corner Of Columbia
terminates in a peninsula extending 100
miles into the Caribbean Sea. Here
dwell a peculiar people who were little
known until o comparatively recent
period. when Mr.. Simons was commits
stoned to make O tour Of exploration.
n enterprise was attended with great
danger. owing to the peculiar institu-
lions OF the country, but Mr.. Simons
secured an escort under the direction Of
one OF the principal chiefs. and to him
We are Indebted for about all that Is
known OF this singular people.
Inc entire populat on is divided up
INTO castles or divisions, and when any
act OF violence or injustice Is commit

or belongs is held responsible for his
Individual act: end the method OF Sc
curlnS satisfaction is to visit the pen-
atty upon any member Of the offending
clan who may chance te be caught. In
tne eyes or these people all white peo-
pie are regarded as favoring one single
clan; hence, IL an Indian should chance
10 De injured by a white man, the PEN
ATTY would be eXacted from any other
white man who CHANGED to fall into
their hands. The most enthusiastic
explorer is quite naturally discouraged
by this, lest his appearance should
revive the recollectiOns of some unre-
dressed grievance of the distant past.
a recent instance of Goajira vengeance
Is reported in which three white men
were roasted to death because they were
detected in stealing young native girls
Tor the puspose of selling them into
slavery.
The lust for gold has. however, led q
few traders to establish themselves on
the outskirts of the country, though
none AVE ventured into the interior.
1t is only the assion for strong drink,
which the traders have the means Of
gratifying, which leads the natives to
tolerate them. And yet these remarka-
BILE people have one regulation which
would delight the most ardent member
OF temperance society. He who sells
the rum Is held responsible for all dam
age that may arise from it's use. This
invests the business with such grave
risk that most traders are deferred from
making the experiment.
The country, although Of limited ex-
tent, affords many objects of interest,
and any competent person, who has the
requisite courage, can no doubt, by fol-
lowing up Mr.. Simons' work, learn
much more onc ming this strange pop
ulatiOn.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
One Way of Trapping Tigers.

So great a pest are tigers in the
Malay Peninsula that the government
offers a bounty OF 500 for every tiger
dead or alive. In trapping tigers for
export the Malays dig a hog about ten
feet deep, making the bottom twice as
large In area as the top. to prevent the
animal from jumping ouG after being
once in. The hole completed. small
brushwool is lightly laid over its sur
face, and close by in the direction of the
mouth Of the pit a bullock is chained 10
a tree. On seeing the bullock the tiger
springs for his expected prey, and
alights in the pit. A bamboo cage is
placed yer the pit, which is then filled
with earth, the tiger gradually coming
to the surface. Once in the cage, the
Malays lace and inter.ace bamboo and
rattan under the tiger. Spring guns are
sometimes used, but not often, as they
are dangerous to dogs and human
beings.

Origin of "a Useful Costume.

The modern custom OF street lighting
dates from the sixteenth century. Paris
was first lighted in 1924. THIS result
was secured in the first place by ORDER
ing householdcrs to Keep lights burning
in those windows which looked upon the
street. Later, great vases filled with
pitch and other inflammablc materials
were placed at intervals along the
streets. These gave way to lanterns Of
glass and iron, inclOsing candles; and,
when the great development of the
whale fisheries in the beginning of the
eighteenth century made oil 10: burn

a number OF our great and most IN
veterate tobacco smokers and chewerS
nave quit the use of the filthy weed.
The talismanlc article that does the
work is NO-tO-bac. The reform was
started by Aaron Gerber, who was "a
confirmed slave for many years to the
use of tobacco. He tried the use of
No-to-bac. and to his great surprise
and delight it cured him. Hon. G.. w.
Ashcom. who had been smoking for
sixty years, tried No-to-bac, and it
cured him. Col. Samuel StOutener,
who would eat up tobacco like a COW
eats hay. tried this wonderful remedy,
and even Samuel. after all his years of
slavery. lost the desire. J.. G. COblcr.

May. G. O. Skillington, Hanson RObi-
nett, Frank Hershbergcr. John Shinn,
and others have since tried NO-tO-bac,
and in every case they report not only
a cure of the tobacco habit. but u won
derful improvement in their general
physical and mental condition. all of
which goes to show that the use of to-
baccO had been injurious to them in
more ways than one.
All of the above gentlemen are so
we'll pleased with the results that we
do not hesitate to join them in recon-
mending it to suffering humanity, as
we have thoroughly investigated and
are satisfied that No-tO-bac does the
work well and is a boon to mankind.
The cost is tritling-a dollar a box
and the makers, the Sterling Remedy
Company, have so much faith in No
to-bac that they absolutely guarantee
three boxes to eur any case, or refund

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and batiled
the medical profession more than nasal catarrh.
While not Immediately fatal it is among the most
nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh is heir to, and
the records show very few or no cases of radical cure
OF chronic catarrh by any OF the many modes OF
treatment until the introduction of Ely's Cream
Balm q few years ago. The success OF this prepare
ton has beea most gratify tng and surprising.

TRAIN WRECKERS
Make Determined Attempts to
Cause a Disaster.
Rocks and Old Iron Piled on the Track Spat.
tered Right and Left.

AUGUSTA, Ne, March IA dastardly
attempt at train wrecking was made here
last night. The passenger train from Bos-
ton, which arrives here at 7.l5, was bowl
ing along at 81 miles an hour, and had
reached a point half mile below the
city, at the state house siding, when the
locomotive struck q pile of rocks and old
iron, which had been heaped upon the
track. This was scattered right and left,
and almost at the same instant big
cedar sleeper, which laid across the rails,
was struck. The cowcatcher caught II
and sent 1t spinning one side of the track.
The train did not stop. On arriving here
II was found that the axle Of the forward
ponies were scratched TO the depth of an
inch; the steam box and other parts Of
the engine were scratched; otherwise no
damage was done.
Half an hour later freight train from
the west at that place struck the same
sleeper, which had been returned to the
track by the wreckers. The sleeper
crowded under the pilot and against the
ponies, and in this condition the train
came to Augusta station, where the
sleeper was removed by jacking up the
engine.
Both trains narrowly escaped being
wrecked, as there is steep embank-
ment running to the surface Of the river
at this place

Councilman can act only oncs, and where
1t was not intended nor expected that he
would act at all. The Mayor OF Pawtuck-
ct has no more business In the Board OF
Aldermen, except when invited there by
vote of its mem bers, than President Cleve-
land has In the Senate OF the United
States. Hisl duties are executive, not
legislative, and he should confine himself
to them. The field is broad enough for
the efforts or the abilities of any man and
its limits and boundaries should not be
overpassed. The mere fact, or possibility,
that one MAY do q thing IN proper cir
cumstances and at proper times 10 no rea
son why he SHALL do 1t In all circum-
stances and at all times, In official sta
tion any more than In very-day life. A
man MAY wear a straw hat and tennis
blazer in mid winter snow storm, but
shrewd, sensible, level headed men do not
very often do SO.
There are no questions at issue at pres
ent between His Honor the Mayor and
the Honorable Board, the political pre-
dominance and "puli" are all In one di.
rection aud, as the holders of II would
say, In the right direction, no dire and
dreadful crisis Is iminent or likely to be
for some time to come, and there can be
no better nor more fitting opportunity to
correct the error (for 1t is one), and re-
turn to a more digniHed and consistent
method Of procedure than the present.
The extra telephones have been ordered
removed, clashing and conflicting depart
ments have been consolidated, the
salaries have been re-adiusted, the
little irritations and disappotnt-
ments have been mostly soothed
and harmoniked, and 1t really seems as II
the W white-robed angel of peace had folded
her pinions up into q hard bow knot and
settled down In her easy chair for a good
long nap why not round out and COM
plete the affecting tableau by an act of
slight personal self abnegation which

IL would be at once shrewd, graceful, pol
tic,--beyond all II would be wise, ju-

actions. Let US hope such q course will
be adopted, and that without any delay.
