A PESKY NUISANCE.
Some People Who are Constantly I'M
posing on Good Nature.

Persons having telephones in their
houses or places Of business are sub
jected to an annoyance which is
growing daily 1t is the calls made
upon them by those who have no tel
ephones.
The business man is frequently
called at his busiest hour to answer
the phone, only to learn that Mrs
So and So is out of pickles and will
he be so kind as to tell Mr.. Grocer
to send up pint right away. The
lady OF the house, busy entertain
ing friends, is called away to learn
that Mr. Blank finds it impossible
to meet an engagement with his girl
next door, and would Mrs. - be
so kind as to run over and let her
know? The good-natured owner OF
the telephone does the errand, but
has hardly had time to resume her
conversation with the guests when
another ring is heard and she learns
that Mr. Blank has managed to
make different arrangements with
his girl; will Mrs kindly tell
her so and oblige?
The persons who are continually
asking these services of the owners
of telephones are nearly always
persons who do not subscribe for in
struments. They are selfish, incon-
siderate and nuisances generally,
and those who require the greatest
services are those who have matters
of the least Importance to commu-
nicate. They impose upon good
nature, and to use a slang express
sion, should be sat upon good and
hard.

ACurious Relic From Ireland.

The Ontario Archaeological museum
at Ottawa, Canada, is in receipt of a
curious survival from prehistoric
times, in the shape of n good sized
lump of "bog butter" In Ireland, in
the very old times, the art of making
butter was known, but the preserva-
tive effects of salt were rs yet undis-
covered. Nevertheless, the people of
that age possessed some means OF
preserving it, burial in bog being n
part of the process. Firkins of it
were frequently left there for safe
keeping, and from time to time these
relics of prehistoric housekeeping. are
unearthed. Mr.. LEROY Of Toronto,
who is now in Ireland, is the donor
of the good-sized piece of the cheesy-
looking stuff to the museum. He
writes:
1T have just sent piece of bog
butter to You. I don't know whether
it is thing of sufficient antiquity and
rarity, but as the Dublin museum has
a keg in prominent position, per-
haps you may consider it worthy of
admission to place in your museum.
The keg of which this is portion, was
dug up recently in a bog near Dun
lawn, county Kildare. The slaves
are said to have been around it, but
to have fallen off on removal. 1t lay
in peasants garden, aud the dogs
fed on it for time.
Mr.. LEROY has also secured au
"Ogham stone," and it will come over
in due time. An Ogham stone is a
stone which is occasionally found in
Ireland, inscribed with the "Ogham"
alphabet, which was current i'll Ire
land prior to the ninth century. The
Ogham alphabetis OF therunic variety,
the characters being straight lines,
generally upright and parallel. New

are savages who fight with lances and
poisoned arrows. I once had the
privilege of witnessing the prepara-
ton of a number of these poisoned
weapons, and as nearly as. I can re-
member the process was about as fol-
lows:
"The poison was made from the
bark of two different trees, the names
of which I have forgotten. One of
the pieces of bark was beaten almost
to q jelly, pressed and dried, then
moistened and again pressed. Though
the mau used his bare hands in doing
this, he apparently was not injured in
any way by contact with the poison.
The Juice of the bark thus extracted
looked very uch-like pea soup as it
simmered in an earthen vessel oyer
slow fire. When it had reached the
consistency of syrup quantity Of
pulp from the second piece OF bark
vas scraped off and the juice of this
squeezed into the syrup over the fire.
'The juice of the second piece of
bark was dark brown in color, and the
liquid in the vessel was darkened and
changed as soon as the new ingredient
was stirred into it. The mixture was
then allowed to simmer for some time,
until it had attained the consistency
of jelly, when it was scraped out of the
vessel with chip and put on q large
leaf which had been plentifully sprin-
kled with ashes. This preparation
can be kept long time without losing
any of it's strength. To poison an ar
rowhead piece of this jelly-like sub
stance about the size of hickory nut
is warmed and rubbed all over the
point, which can be used repeatedly
without the poison losing its virtue.
"The natives also have daggers with
sharp-pointed blades about four
inches wide and a foot long, which
they call bararaos. They are very
dexterous in the use of this weapon,
and if they can lay hold of an adver.
sary by the hair, they cut off his head
with one sweep of the arm and carry
it home as trophy of the wal"

Their houses are usually built after
the plan of those of the civilized In
dians-a basket-like structure of bam-
boo and palm leaves raised upon posts
above the ground, but they are not SO
we'll built and are occupied but for a
few years. They are not built into
compact villages, but few scattered
houses are formed without streets,
but near enough to be within call.
Necessarily, what can be said of such
a multitude Of detached tribes in re-
gard to their clothing, arms, religion,
etc., must be Of the most general
character.
Their clothing usually consists solely
Of the taparabo, or breech clout, oil
else generally being in the nature OF
ornament and consisting of beads
about the neck and head and arms,
and ankleSs OF leglets of boar's bristles,
and frequently with bright colored
pearl shells hanging upon the back or
breast. The Spanish authorities do
not allow the savages to enter. the
towns in their ordinary state of naked
ness, which accounts for. the unusual
amount of clothing shown in the ae-
companying photographs. They fire.
quently blacken the teeth, and in some
cases file them to point.
Some of the wilder tribes of North
