WHISTLING LANGUAGE.

Have you ever heard of the so-cslled
"whistling language" Of Tenerifieg The
probabilities are that you never have. Yet
this curious method of speech-if indeed
vne can so describe it-dates from pre-
historic times.
Tho shepherd folk OF Teneriffe aud Go
mera use the "whistling language, and
the first recorded notice of it was made
by a French traveller as far back as 1455.
Since then stray wanderers have called
che worlds attention, at long Intervals,
60 the language. Some years ago,
while roaming. with staff and scrip.
through ravines and over the wild noun
tain ranges of Teneriffe it fell to the
writers lot TO hear the shepherds thus
conversing. BY placing two or three
fingers In the mouth it is possible To
make the whistle carry TO distance OF
three miles. or tbereaoouts, The lonely
hills seem silent and deserted, when sud-
denly out OF the far distance came long
drawn and very sbrill whistle-the sum
mons TO a conversation. In reply, a similar
call strikes piercingly on the ear from
the opposite direction. The whistlers are
widely separated. but have no intention
of being lonely. Perhaps they are having
some difficulty with their flocks. Per
haps they are merely resting "a while after
the dinner of black bread and onions
AT any rate, IL You listen, you will soon
hear them in the thick of an earnest
chat, "A chat between friends three miles
OF more separated.
Logeard, the well-known French sa-
want, has conclusively proved that the
whistling Is in Spanish Easy words are
taken and the sound Is initiated by the
whistles. Long practice ana heredity have
given the shepherds extraordinary skill in
whistling and understanding the Spanish.
Their vocabulary is quite long one
and. In addition. they have "A regular codo
OF graduated notes, which convey tele-
graphically what they cannot sHtisfac-
torily reproduce in the ordinary manner.
The writer heard three parties of shepherds
exchange their hopes aud fears regarding
the weather by this means. On another oc-
casion he heard an invitation 70 "A dance

Why a Prisoner Was Grateful.
New Mill Projecte1.

A few days ago. one of North Provi-
dcnce's most diligent special officers ar
rested an inebriated citizen of the town
and locked him up But before locking
him in a cell. the customary search was
made and among other things taken
from him was bottle OF whisky. Tho
lookup" in this town is dirninutive
affair and has none Uf the modern con
venienCes and, in fact very little OF any
kind, ancient or modern. But there ara
two cells and the officers made uso of one
as place To safely leave the whiskey
and other things taken from his person.
Sometime later In tho night another
officer brought in "drunk' whom he
placed in the cell with the whisky.
This officer was surprised in the morn
ing to lind his prisoner carrying bigger
Jag than when no locked him up and he
didn't know how To account Tor 10, but
all was soon made clear by the efforts OF
the drunken man TO thank him for his
kindness and foretnought The soak was
under the impression that the officer who
locked him up placed the liquor there for
his use and he was most profuse in his
thanks. He told the ufticer that no
always knew no was n good fellow, hut
he didn't think he would provide him
with n whole nights supply of bug
