The Abyssinians drop on their knees
and kiss the earth when they meet. In
saluting woman the Mandinkas take
her hand, put it to their nose and smell
it twice. The Egyptians stretch out one
hand, then lay it on their breast and
bow the head. Among the less civilized
tribes of the old world, say, the Kali
mucks and in Polynesia, the custom Of
rubbing noses is pretty general. Per-
haps the most extraordinary form of
salutation is to be found in Tibet, where
the natives put out their tongues, gnash
their teeth and scratch their ears.-Lan-

A WONDERFUL HAND.

An Artificial Substitute Nearly Perfect
as the Natural Member.
Willard A. Lucas, the son of great
wooden manufacturer at Poquetannuck,
Conn, wears an artificial hand made
of aluminium which is really one of the
automatical wonders of the century.
Young Lucas lost his hand in his ia
theirs mills, and Lucas, Sr., who grieved
exceedingly over the results of the ac-
cident, wrote or went in person to every
known manufacturer of artificial limbs
in this country and Europe, vainly
seeking false hand for his son. Arti-
fetal hands could have been procured
from any of them, but what was want
cd was not to be found-viz, hand that
would perform all the functions of a
real flesh and blood member.
Finally the elder Lucas, who is
known as rare mechanical genius,
took 1t upon himself to make his son a
hand-not a mere dummy, - but one
that would be useful for the manifold
purposes to which such members are

Perhaps there is nothing more pecul-
lar about the Eskimoes of Point Bar
row than their methods of using tobac-
CO, which, of course, they procure from
the whites. They know good from bad
tobacco. When they get hold Of few
plugs of commissary tobacco from a
vessel of the United States navy, they
show a marked appreciation of it. The
habit of chewing the weed seems to be
universal. Men, women and even I'M
weaned children keep quid, often of
enormous size, constantly in the mouth.

A GHOST RINGS THE BELL.
The Woman In White Who Is Startling ais
Arkansas Community.

The Woman In White Who Is Startling sH
Arkansas Community.
In the village of Lincolntown, which
is settled principally by negroes, and
which lies eight or nine miles south of
this place, there is a little church, sur
rounding which is a mystery that is
greatly perplexing and worrying the
community.
Every night there is to be seen in the
belfry of the edifce a woman in white,
who rings the bell three times in the
most solemn fashion and who then dis
appears. How the woman gets there is
what is puzzling the good people OF
Lincolntown, for the only approach to
the belfry is stairway to which en-
trance is gained by single door, and
not only is this door guarded every
night since the commencement of the
mysterious tolling, but the staircase is
watched by 200 or S00eyes, and at dark
the belfry itself is watched and thor
oughly searched and is found to be en-
tirely empty. Besides, the belfry is only
large enough to hold the bell itself, and
when that is in motion there is no foot
ing for person.
The rope that is ordinarily employed
in ringing the bell hangs all the time in
plain view of the crowd and is perfectly
motionless. The woman is also dis
tinctly visible, but whether white or
black it is impossible to tell. Even If
the figure itself was a Pigment of the inn
agination, the ringing of the BELLS not,
as that is to be Enthusiastically heard for a
quarter of amile. The negroes are much
excited over the matter and say that it is
a portent of i'll to the race. AS to the iden-
tity of the ghost it is generally believed
that it is the restless spirit of a woman
named Jonelle Lambkin, who, on ac-
count of some misdemeanor charged
against her, was put out of the church
here in spite of her continued reiteration
Of her innocence Jonelle died about
two months ago, alleging with her dying
breath that she was q wrongfully ac-
cused woman and that the community
would ultimately receive proof of this

CnrIons ORIGIN 81 a Fire.

The other day heavy delivery wagon
backed up in front of an Eighth avenue
New York; furniture store. The
smoothness and slant of the asphalt gave
greater momentum than was expected,
and the hind wheels struck the curb
with crash. The contact Of stone and
iron drew out sparks. Some of these
flew into wisp of packing hay and
soon gave forth smoke and flame. A
bucket of water subdued the blaze; but,
as fireman remarked, it was an inter
esting object lesson on one of the mys-
terious ways in which serious fires some
times start.-Scientiic American.

old last September. She is the daughter
of a prominent farmer living three miles

To Preserve Cranes.

A French method of preserving grapes
in something very close to their natural
condition has some interest at this sea-
son. Shoots of the vine, bearing, say,
two punches of sound grapes each, are
placed in bottles or vases filled with wa
ter containing charcoal in solution. The
bottles are then hung along the edges Of
notched shelves in a dry place. 1t is said
that if the water be renewed from time
to time grapes so treated will keep in
good condition into April.

The Mule Meant Wen.

An ex-street car mule in Los Angeles,
from force of habit, had wandered be-
tween the rails. The electric car came
along, and the mule imagined he was at
the old business. The motorman put on
little extra speed, but the mule main
tanned the regulation distance between
himself and the car. Faster and faster
went the car, so did the mule. He had
no thought of Sinking, to the huge de-
light of the spectators and motorman.-

HIS HAND WAS ROUGH.

His hand was rough and His hand was hard,
For He wrought in wood in Nazareth town.
With naught of worship, with no regard,
In the village street He went up and down.
His hand was rough, but its touch was light,
As IL lay on the eyes of him born blind;
Or strake sick folk in its healing might,
And gave back Joy to the hearts that pined
His hand was hard, but they spiked It fast
To the splintering wood of the cursed tree;
And He hung in the sight of the world, at last
In His shame. And the red blood trickled
free.

in search of less dangerous quarters.
At times, when a mine has been shut
down for few weeks, the rats become
ravenously hungry. Then they do not
scruple to devour the young, old and
weak of their kind. During the suspen-
sion of work in mine that is not con-
nected with other mines that are run
ming, everything eatable in the under
ground regions is devoured, even the
candle drippings on the floors.
When work is resumed, the almost
famished creatures are astonishingly
bold and fearless. Then they will come
out of their holes and get upon the I'M
foreground engines-even when they are
in rapid motion-and drink theoil out Of
the oil cups, quite regardless of the pres
ence of the engineers.
A fire in a mine slaughters the rats by
the wholesale. Few escape, as the gases
penetrate every nook and Granny of the
underground regions, and often SO sud
denly as to asphyxiate them in their
homes. -Engineering Journal.

The Head waters Cocktail.


In a swell hotel on Broadway the
head waiter is not allowed to indulge in
bibulous refreshments during the hours
he is on duty. The other evening he
was filed with an irrepressible long
ing for cocktail. He managed to get
it with such ease that it was evidently
a well tried and efficacious trick.
His method can be best understood
by quoting the waiter:
Sure, we're not charging yes for a
cocktail, . whispered a waiter to a
young gentleman to whom he had just
brought check, but the head waiter
wanted a cocktail and thought yes
would be the wan who would moind
Taste having it put it on to yes bill.
You see, = whispered the waiter, conf
dentially, he couldn't put it onto the
bill of the gists in the house, they might
remark it, so he had to put it onto the
bill of somebody who came in from the
strate. I'll bring yes the twinty cents
back and thank yes fur the accommo-
dalton.
1.-THE head waiter has either discerned
that you are man with liberal and
sympathetic disposition or one who
knows how good a cocktail tastes and
how bad man wants it when he can
not get it, - remarked the young lady
who was dining with the gentleman
whom the head waiter rightly singled
out as possible friend to fellow man
in need of spirituous consolation.-New

put. Inc result IS surprise TO every
maker of artificial limbs in the world.
The automaton is of aluminium and
much resembles the steel gauntlets
worn by the knights of the middle ages.
The fingers are all perfect and lifelike,
the joints in each bending as readily as
those in a natural hand, making it pos
sible for the young man to perform ev-
cry kind of labor. An expert report on
this wonderful piece of mechanism reads
as follows:
With it he can grasp and handily
use all kinds of tools, pick up things
from the ground, drive, handle gun
in fact, use it quickly and skillfully at
any kind of work. Like natural hand,
the artificial one consists of palm that
is provided with fastening by which
it is attached to cork stump, the
joints working by ratchet, SO that the
fingers may be bent forward at any
angle and held there. The hand may
be only partly closed or tightly shut,
and only one finger or all, as the wear
er desires, may be closed at once and
instantly by striking them against the
body or other object. To release the
grasp it is only necessary to touch a
spring at the back of the hand. The
invention is as nearly perfect substi-
tute for natural hand as could be de-
vised and is the only thing of the kind
known in the world. st. Louis Re-
