It Upset Some of the Ideas One Man
Was Bent on Propagating.
This citizen of Detroit has a good
position with railroad company.
What happened him at home the other
evening will explain some things that
it would take long to relate. 81 don't
care what you call it." he said earnest
ly to his wife. 1T may be Christian
science, faith cure, magnetism, hyp-
notism or pure imagination. But it
does the business, and that's all care
to know" What makes you remain
baldheaded, them" she asked, irrever-
emily. Don't get funny, now. I'm
talking about actual pain or sickness,
not about creating something like
teeth, hair or flesh that you've lost.
When l thought l had that bad at
tack of malaria, just made up my
mind that it was delusion and that
was the end of it. The day that pic
ture dropped down on me could have
sworn at first that my head was brok-
en-, but l just said to myself that it
wasn't, and it wasn't. Now you have
the earache. Let me try, and make
yourself just as receptive as you can.
That's right, hold my hand. You have
no pain; you are thinking of better
things" But there ended the expert
ment. He let out screech like a
panther, grabbed one Of his slippered
feet in both his hands and went hop
ping about the room. loudly using the
most shocking language. His .portly
wife had rocked on his toes. Had she
been tactful, she would have soothed
and petted him, but she mockingly told
him he had no pain. He vociferously
told her to go to blazes and other re-
mote places. No telling what domestic
tragedy was averted by the coming of
company, but he submitted to sooth-
ing applications, and the next day he
carefully replenished the family medi-
cine chest.-Detroit Free Press.

USE OF COCA
IN Rsli,ia and 1ts wondsrful Tonic Ef.
i fsots Upon Indians.

II Aouvle and lts Wonderful Tonic Ell.
feots Upon Indians.
Sucre (Bolivia) Cor. Chicago Rec
ord: The Indians regard the coca
with extreme reverence. Won Tschudi,I
the Austrian scientist, who made a
most thorough study Of the ancient
customs of the Incas. says: During
divine worship the priests chewed coca
leaves, and unless they were supplied
with them it was believed that the
favor of the gods could not be pro-
pitiated. 1t was also deemed necessary
that the supplicator for divine grace
should approach the priests with an
'acullico' in his mouth. It was believed
that any business undertaken without
the benediction of coca leaves could
not prosper, and to the shrub itself
was rendered. During an interval of
more. than 300 years Christianity has
not been able to subdue this deep
rooted idolatry, for everywhere we find
traces of belief in the mysterious pow
ers Of this plant. The excavators in
the mines Of Cerro del Pasco throw
chewed coca upon the hard veins of
metal in the belief that it softens the
ore and renders it more easy to work.
The Indians even at present time put
coca leaves in the mouths of dead per-
sons in order to secure them a fav-
orable reception on their entrance into
another world, and when a Peruvian
on journey falls in with mummy,
he, with timid reverence, presents to
1t some coca leaves as his pious offer
ing" One of the scientific explorers
who has been working up in this
region told me of his experience with
coca chewer. "A man was employed
by me-" he said, Gin very laborious
digging. During the five days and
nights he was in my service he never
tasted food and took only two hours
sleep each night, but at intervals of
two hours and half or three hours he
repeatedly chewed about half an ounce
of coca leaves and kept an 'acullico'
continually in his mouth. l was con-
stantly beside him, and therefore had
the opportunity of closely observing
him. The work for which I had en-
gagged him being finished, he accom-
panied me on two days journey
across the level ground. Though on
foot, he kept the pace of my mule and
halted only for the chaccar (chewing).
On leaving me he declared that he
would willingly engage himself again
for the same amount of work and that
he would go through it without food if
would but allow him sufficient sup
ply of coca. The village priest as
sured me that this man was 62 years
of age and that he had never known
him to be ill in his life''

ODD ENGINEERING.

Water, Taken from the Pacific. Gent to
Atlantic Ocean.
1t is a remarkable fact that water
which flows naturally into the Gulf of
California and thence into the Pacific
ocean has been virtually lifted across
the backbone of the Rocky mountains,
and now, after being used for irriga-
ton. finds its way into the Gulf of
Mexico. A number of small streams
on the other side Of Longs peak,
which flow into Grand lake and thence
into the Colorado river, have been d.
verted by ditch that finds its way
through 10000 feet high into the head
waters Of the Poudre. Some 400 cubic
feet per second has thus been diverted
from the Pacific to the Atlantic slope,
where the water is used for irrigatihg
additional farms in Larimer county.
It is not strictly correct to say that
this water has been lifted across the
range. But feat of sinuous engineer
ing has diverted it, which amounts to
the same thing.

President Kruger. Father.

The bitter feeling which Paul Kru-
ger cherishes toward the British is GER
tainly not lessened by the memory that
his own father was the man who fred
the first shot at the English troops
at Boomplatz in 1848, and by the fur
ther thought that he was one of those
who were driven by the English to
take part. in the great "trek" of 1886.
Again, in 1854, when the Beers petit
toned the queen to be allowed to re-
main under the protection OF the Brit
ish flag, the elder Kruger was one Of
its signers. The answer Of the duke Of
Newcastle, who returned the petition
with the remark that 1t could not be
entertained and that England had Al
ready extended its rule too far in AZ
RIGA, has always been remembered by
Kruger and his associates az an IN.

cIclLlAN LOVE CHARMS.
Some of the Most Curious and Popular

Some of the Most Curious and Popular
Ones.
The love charms of Sicily are many
and curious. One, very popular and
considered very powerful, is to put in
to an eggshell few drops of the blood
of the longing lover, says Macmillan.
The shell is exposed to the sun for three
days and to the dew for three nights.
1t is then placed. on hot ashes until
calcined, when the whole is reduced
to fine powder and administered Sc
cretly in cup of coffee or glass of
wine to the object of affection. Anoth-
er charm is for the witch to undress
at midnight and tie her clothes up in
a bundle, which she places on her
head; then, kneeling in the center of
her room, she pronounces an incanta-
ton, at the end Of which she shakes
her head. If the bundle falls in front
of her it is good sign; should 1t fall
behind her the charm will not avail.
Yet another is worked in the follow
ing manner: Pieces of green, red and
while ribbon are purchased in three
different shops, the name Of the per-
son to be charmed being repeated, men,
tally, each time. The shop-keeper must
be paid with the left hand, the ribbon
being received in the right. When all
the pieces are bought they are taken
to a witch, who sets out to find the
person to be charmed. On finding him
or her the witch mutters to herself,
with these ribbons bind you to such
a one" Then she returns the ribbons
to the purchaser, who ties them be-
meath his or her left knee and wears
them at church.
