Australian contrivancrs.

Some men were handling n little
niece of wood about the shape Of
cigar boat, and four or five inches long,
with a long reed kind of tail to it, says
Outing.
What odd thing is that wooden rat?'
asked the guardsman.
"Wichi-wichi," replied WarriCul.
Just then a native whirled one over
his head at a dangerous gait and sent
it flying out along the level ground
The little nose of it bobbed up and
down and the queer Oblong thing
worked It's way along. with its tail as Il
balance, at fearful rate. 1t ran along
the ground for sixty or seventy yards.
Others competed at the game of wichi-
wichi, until the winner scored over 100
yards In the directest line to the target.
Then they swung the hulawalla. This
is a fish-shaped piece of thin wood tied
to a long string and swung around and
around by means of a long stick. The
noise of it much reSembled the roar OF
a giant bull enraged. The hulawalla is
used by the tribesmen to warn off the
women during the week OF the sacred
bora dance 1t can be heard three or
four miles away, according to the wind
and lay of the country. During that
week the women must not come in
hearing of the dread instrument or
they suffer dire agony to sure death.

A New Orchestra Without Men.

Prof. ]. B. Schalkenbach, formerly
the organist of the Polytechnic 1nsti-
tute of London, has recently invented
and constructed an electrical orchestra.
which is very effective. An organ with
two keyboards and number of stops is
connected by electric wires with a
large number Of musical instruments.
which are distributed over the space
usually given up to the orchestra, and
kept in place by various stands. While
q chair Is located next to each instru-
ment, the only man in the entire or
chestra Is Prof Schalkenbach himself,
who takes a seat at his organ, from
where he conducts. SO to speak, his
mysterious musicians. Although It is
advertised that the entire arrangement
is mechanical, and that electricity is
the agent doing all the work In this Or
chestra, q sensation of timidity, and
even awe, is felt by many visitors. The
electrical orchestra is now exhibited
in a Vienna concert hall, and surprises
even professional musicians through
the extraordinary combinations of
sound brought out by Prof. Schalken.

Saw a Charming Snake.

W. r. Mason of Bakersfield, Kern
County. Cal. tells the following story
Of snake-charming to the Scientific
American: Il was riding in California
and had off-saddled to eat some lunch,
when l saw a gopher snake stretched
along the limb of tree in which was
a flock of excited small birds. About
eighteen inches distant from the
snakes head was a bird whose COM
panions were making the noise. The
bird WAS perfectly motionless, and, to
all appearances, looked straight at the
snake, which was gradually creeping
toward 1t. When about eight inches
away the snake struck and caught the
bird by the breast. The captured bird
and it's companions struggled with the
snake, but it lowered itself to the
ground, carrying the bird in its mouth"
Have you ever seen anything like
this?

TO SPREAD CRIME
The Purpose of Russian Organization
Just Formed.

Russia, according to the latest aa
vices received In this country, does
not seem a particularly enviable place.
Not only are religious fanatics at large
in eyer-increasing numbers, who are
committing extraordinary havoc among
the simple peasants, breaking up
homes and causing people to commit
suicide with the idea Of escaping tyr
amy. but a gigantic criminal associa-
ton is also growing and spreading and
making eruptions between the peas
ants and mobiles.
The association Is In reality a society
for perpetrating crime. Its avowed
object is a reign of terror, but 1t Is
more fierce and more terrible In its
purpose than the usual societies Of an
arcbists. The ringleaders hope to
make law and order futile by flling
the land with criminals.
The doctrine Is said to be spreading
with almost incredible rapidity among
the larrow-minded natives of Russia.
The success of the society surpasses
that of any fanatical institution ever
bSLOiC iOAhuCu tAiC NSoASAJ. a.
ready the members Of the criminal as
sociation are numbered in thousands.
A short time ago the bodies Of three
workmen, good, honest, law-abiding
peasants, were discovered by the po-
lice In a deep well near Palmero. The
most stringent Investigations brought
to light no cause for the murders. The
police at length arrived at the conclu-
sion that the men had been murdered
solely for the reason that they were
well known as honest laborers, who
feared the police and loved their Gar.
This set the minds of the astute Pc
tersburg detectives upon a new track
They followed up every clew that
might lead to the detection Of a So
ciety whose object was the perpetra-
ton of crime. Their efforts were who'll
" successful.
The reason of some forty murders.
for which hitherto no object had been
discovered, and which seemed to be
enveloped In an impenetrable mystery
was brought to light; the murders
were ascribed to the dangerous society
which had risen. The authorities are
now in possession of much useful IN
formation. and by means of this they
hope to capture fully 100 malefactors
including the ringleaders.
The Society for the Preparation of
Crime, however, has already taken
deep root among the peasants. al
though there is no doubt that In time
the rising will be stamped out, as
many hundreds Of other Russian ris-
ings have been before. When the
malefactors are punished as they de-
serve, the fear Of the Law will again
assert itself in the minds of these Inad
revolutionists.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad-
vanced years are realized by compara-
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner Of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. j. c. Orms, of eco
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that
;hilfx your remedies are wonderful.

G me, have no pain in ovaries, and am
CT red of womb trouble. can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. 1

b I'D for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E Pinkham. and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence d 'partment of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.

OVER THE BAR,

Bhndly the awkward sea
Comes stumbling over the bar,
And the soldier ship l see
On the field of the ocean war;
But the signals CLEAN and the danger,
seem
Idle and faint and far.
Blindly the awkward waves
Come stumbling into the bay,
And the old, old sea behaves
Like a babe of yesterday;
But the lighthouse stands by the drifting
sands
And the ships are saved to-day.
Blfndly the awkward thought
Comes stumbling into my heart,
And old bosom battles fought
Are as play to this new art;
For a wilder sea hath imprisoned me,
And the love / cannot impart.
Blindly the awkward words
Keep settling in from afar,
Til they join, like autumn birds,
In song that ends the war;
And the words break out in a gentle rout-
And my love is over the bar.

As the snakes were removed from the
building they were piled beside the ROAD
