A custom like this has spread, of
course, among neighboring tribes under
various forms That of the Abyssinian
braves is described by Mr.. Mansfield
Parkyns. The girls themselves play an
active part there.
When young people are gathered for
amusement, after a church festival, for
instance, one of them will begin peel
ing a straw of green millet, which is
full OF pith. Her lovers blood runs
cold probably. but he must smile or
own himself a carve. When she has cut
the pith into bits an inch long, he
stretches out his bare arm. The exam
pie set, every girl who respects herself
and has lover follows it. The young
men form a circle. with their arms ex-
tended.
Blithely, then. with many a jest
doubtless, the maidens arrange their
bits of pith, upright, in some tanciful
design, on the bare flesh and set them
alight' They are nearly an inch thick,
and they burn very slowly, but the
hapless youth must stand and smile as
we'll as he can till the blood and Juices
of the scared flesh extinguish them,

Cuests Who VIII Not Register.

The average guest at a first class hotel
puts his fist on the register and taxes
what the lord of the rooms gives him
meekly and uncomplainingly. There are
rooms and rooms, just as there are hotels
and hotels, and when the hotels are crowd
ed it takes an experienced and determined
man to get the best-or woman. NO
hotel clerk has ever yet stood up before
the onslaught of lovely female bent on
having front room lighted on two sides
and not higher than the third story But
there is another class Of the jewellers In
tents-the men who never register. every
hotel has them, and Washington hotels
more than any other city. Here it means
the game of politics. The man who wants
an office and is afraid his rivals are going
to put up combinations against him VIII
slip into his hotel and tell the clerk that
he does not want to be seen or put on the
book. and the clerk tells him that 1T Is all
right. In some cities such actions would
be rightly regarded as suspicious, but not
in Washington. The leading hotels Will
average two a day during the first year OF
a new administration. After that they
drop off to two a week, but it Ia 7ecui-

Poor little crown prince of Germany!
The drastic system of royal German
education has almost killed him, accord
ing to all accounts. He has been seized
with fits of trembling and nervousness,
and much anxiety is being felt about him.
1t is at once gratifying and pathetic to
learn that he is to have 'as much as
possible" the life of child for a whole
year! This brief statement tells by con-
trast volume of what sort of life the
little soldier-student has had.-New

AN ALPENA MIRACLE

CARDS HER CRUTCHES.
In AN Interview with "a Reporter She

In an Interview with IA Reporter She
Reviews Her Experience and Tells
the Real Cause of the Miracle.
From tie Argus Alpena, Mich,l
We have long known Mrs. JAS. NJ
Todd, of Long Rapids, Alpena Co.,
Mich. She has been II sad cripple.
Many of her friends know the story of
her recovery; for the benefit of those
who do not we publish it today.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostration, and III a few
months with muscular and intiamma-
tory rheumatism. 1t affected her heart,
then her head. Her feet became 50
swollen she could wear nothing on
them. Her hands were drawn all out
of shape. Her eyes We're swollen shut
more than half of the time, her knee
joints terribly swollen and for eighteen
months she had to be held up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless, and the skin was so dry and
cracked that it would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated
by score of physicians, and has also
spent much time at Ann Arbor under
best medical advice. All said her
trouble was brought on by hard work
and that medicine would not cure, and
that rest was the only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
with her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover herself at night. The
interesting part of her story follows i'll
her own words:
81 was urged to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and at last
did so. In three days after | commenced
taking Pink Pills 1 could sit up and
dress myself, and after using them six
weeks | went home and commenced
working. | continued taking the pills,
until now | begin TO forget my crutches,
and can go up and down steps without
aid. | am truly living wonder, walk
ing out of doors without assistance.
Now, if | can say anything to in
duce those who have suffered as |
have, to try Pink Pills, | shall gladly
do SO. If other like sufferers will try
Pink Pills according TO directions, they
will have reason TO thank God for
creating men who are able to conquer
that terrible disease, rheumatism. |
have i'll my own neighborhood recon-
mended Pink Pills for the after effects
of la grippe, and weak women with
impure blood, and with good results.
Mrs. Todd is very strong i'll her faith
in the curative powers of Pink Pills,
and says they have brought poor, help
less cripple back to do her own milk
ing, churning, washing, sewing, knit
ting, and in fact about all of her house
hold duties thanks to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail
from DR.. Williams Medicine Com

A Day That Is n Blank.

After lying months in critical con-
dition, resulting from the severe injuries
he received in the wreck on the Harlem
railroad in August last, Mr.. De Witt
Heermance is ON the road to recovery.
In connection with the fearful accident
Mr.. Heermance remembers nothing; his
mind is blank. He fails to call to mind
even his getting on the train on that I'M
fortunate day, and of the accident and
what followed he of course knows
nothing. He is unable to call to mind,
he says, the least thing connected with
his movements or the transpirings of that
day as relating to his business trip

VERY COSTLY.

In manv things which make life burden
some, it is not merely the discomforts we
feel, but the loss of time aud money.
Among minor accidents none are more
liable to cause this than spran. Very
many serious cases are known that have
cost a lifetime of misery and very much iii
time and money. Much of this is owing
to neglect. St. Jacobs . |, used promptly
on the worst case of sprain, will cure 1t as

The Ruling Passion.

He loved the winsOme lass with a
love none the less ardent because she
was clerk in dry goods store, and
he had met her there behind the cOun
ter when he had come in to make pur
chases.
But she was no ordinary girl, and he
knew that if he won her as his own
it would be no easy conquest.
For weeks and weeks he had been to
see her, and for weeks he had hesitated
on the brink of a proposal which in
volved all his happiness.
Yet the girl did not seem to realize
how near she was to him, nor that any
moment might precipitate the final
question.
However, these things cannot con-
tinue forever, and one Sunday after
noon as they were walking his voice
became low and tremulous, and she
looked up shyly into his face.
Christine, he whispered, may
ask you a question:"
"Certainly, George, " she assented
frankly. What is it?'

A triumph of mechanical ingenuity,
unsurpassed in its line, is recorded at
the celebrated tin works, Swansea,
Wales. The iron from which the sheet
was rolled was worked in a finery with
charcoal and the usual blast afterward
taken to the hammer to be formed into
a regular flat bottom, thence conveyed
to the balling furnace, and when suffi-
GENTLY heated taken up to the rolls,
heightened and cut by shears into prop
er lengths, piled up and transferred
to the balling furnace again. When
heated, it was passed through the rolls,
back again into the balling furnace,
and when duly brought to the proper
pitch taken to the rolls and made into
a thorough good bar. subsequently,
at the tin mills. it was rolled till it was
supposed to be thinner than 23 grains.
afterward passed through the cold rolls
to insure the necessary polish, the re-
suit being the thinnest sheet OF iron
ever rolled is, the sheet was 10
by ) y inches, or 90 inches in surface
of only 90 grains weight, which, being
brought to the standard of 8 by So
inches, or "A surface inches, is but 10
grains, or 30 per cent less than pre-
vious attempts, at least 4, 800 being re-
quired to make one inch in thickness

FELT HER BROTHERS DEATH.
A Curious Circumstance Which Indicated
Mental Telepathy.

n curious circumstance w men AnulcaJeu
Mental Telepathy.
A curious circumstance that may be
looked upon as a confirmation of the
doctrine of mental telepathy took place
here recently in family of Importance
in the history of the state. This family
numbers among its members lady and
her twin brother, young man who for
the past few years has been in business
in New Zealand, but who has been ex-
pected home on visit to his sister.
One evening lately the lady was sit
ing surrounded by friends when all at
once she gave a piercing cry, and plac
ing her hand to her side fell fainting to
the floor. On reviving she declared that
she had been suddenly stabbed just
above the heart and under the left arm,
indicating the spots. She was assured
that she was laboring under the purest
imagination, but was hard to convince
that this was the case, so plainly had she
felt the knife enter the body.
That night little daughter was born
to her, and the child was found to be
marked on the places indicated by the
mother as the wounds she had imagined.
The marks on the child looked as if they
might be the cicatrix of old knife
wounds. The next day cablegram
was received from friends of the twin
brother in New Zealand, informing his
sister that he had been stabbed to death
by native in a quarrel, and the date
given of the young mans death was that
of the night when his sister had felt the
pang of IA knife entering her own body.
She prevailed on her husband to in
quire by cable where her brothers muir
derer had struck him, and to complete
the coincidence learned that he had been
stabbed twice, once above the heart and
again under the left arm. She is con-
WINGED that through her affinity with her
brother she felt his death even as he re-
ceived it.-New Orleans Letter.
