a Ring-Sccked Tribe.

An officer Of native troops was on
outpost duty at Fort Stedman. In the
Shan Highlands. Burmah, and was
sent on an expedition to n wild part
of the interior, where presumably foot
of white man had never trod before.
Here he came across a tribe called
''Paloungs." He observed the women
were decorated with curious coils of
brass around neck, arms and legs, and
on inquiry found that it was canon
OF unwritten law that all the high
er-grade ladies be thus adorned. He
was horrified to be an eye witness of
the operation, the coils being put on
young girl of IL, who lay shrieking
and firmly held to the ground while
the rods were bent and hammered on.
The neck coil has the effect Of a gigan-
tic spring, elongating the muscles into
curious deformity. Each well-born
ringed lady has n child following her
with pannikin of water, when in hot
sun, to sprinkle the coil. as the brass
gets intolerably hot, and testers the
skin into horrible sores. This is one
of the most curious customs ever heard
of and in spite of the pain Is willing

CHAPTER MI.
An Execution Delayed.

49, ss@'eukaos btihstl.
The prisoners-all that remained OF
the gallant band that fought for the
Republie-were ruthlessly shot.
This was the first Official act of
Philip of Aragon after the crown had
been placed upon his head. General
Salvarez. the greatest OF the prisoners.
was not placed among them. but no
less was the murderous wrath of his
captors TO descend upon his head.
True. Salvarez was prisoner of
war. and should have been treated with
the consideration and dignity due his
rank.
a certain honor was reserved for
saivarez. 1t is true-the honor OF
standing alone to meet his death.
And, as II to mock him. or to en-
phasize the irony OF his fate. the man
who was to command and carry out the
execution OF the republican general
was his old neighbor. Pedro Francisco.
The loving wife and daughter of Sal
varez were still with him in the room
which was to be the last he should ever
occupy in his own castle.
Il fear not for the country" replied
Salvarez. Give the President time to
get his army here. and the monster
will never live to see another day. II
Is not that which moves me. All. it
is the thought Of you!" The general
rose from his chair and paced the
length of the room. For myself I
care little. Years ago consecrated
my life to the Republic. In battle
would give it willingly But 1t is hard
to go thus and leave you, my dear ones.
In the hands of these merciless scoun-
drels. There are no friends left. In
whose hand can leave you?"
"Alas!" said bona Maria, our
friends are dead. Yet l do not fear
for myself. II they take you, my gen.
eral. soon will follow you. BY my
own hand I Will cheat these monsters
OF one victim of their license"
But Jacinta!"
"She is young. She must-she
must"
Must WHAT" sternly asked the gen.
eral. Give herself up to these despoil-
ers? Rather, If she is a true daughter
of the Republic, She"
A heavy step interrupted the CONVEX
sation.
Pedro Francisco entered.
His black, cleaning eyes glanced to-
ward Salvarez and his wife, and then
rested upon the beautiful, tear-stained
face of Jacinta.
He beckoned for her to leave her
fathers side and come to him.
He led her to distant corner, and
bent to speak in her ear words that
could be heard by herself alone.
You can save your fathers life," he
said.
She glanced quickly and beseechingly
at him.
"Jacinta," he said, "have you heard
the order of the king?"
She bowed her head.
YES" she answered. my father
pays the penalty of his loyalty to his
country-to your country-with his
life"
True" he said. "At noon today he
is to be led out into his own garden,
and bound, and stood face to file of
soldiers. An officer will give the word
to fire. That officer is myself"

A Theory Tha. Want. . Ba...

In an agricultural paper that is pub
lished In Michigan we notice a COM
munication by c. r. Crosby relative to
peach yellows. He advances the theory
that peach yellows exist on trees that
are budded or grated and that 1t
comes as result Of the weakness en-
gendered by that process. In part he
says:
The first noticeable fact Is that It
Is disease that is of comparatively
recent date. at least forty years ago
l had never heard OF the thing. AT
that time grating and budding was
just beginning to be practiced. and
was. 80 to speak. in Its experimental
stage. Now no fruit tree of any sort
Is offered that is not either grated
or budded, or is supposed to be. Now
1t must be conceded that in budding nc
new life is produced, but the old life
Is simply extended. hence the age OF
a growth from bud must be reckoned
not from the age of the stock into
which the bud is set, but from the nj,
which produced the tree from which
the hrst bud was taken. II in the
process of budding. buds have been cut
from trees previously budded, there is
to be added the weakening process
which always accompanies budding
We have then in the yellows a disease
of old age. II this is true. the remedy
is In starting a new life from the nit
A further advantage might be gained
to the grower Of fruit by RAISING
trees direct from pits planted where
the tree Is to remain. and thus save
the shock of transplanting.

Botanists warned tls agriculturists
that the calamity was coming. az they
were making q mistake In not starting
new life from the seed on the top
OF the vine. telling them they were
only proionsing the old life. and II

crop OF potato balls. ! can well re-
member seeing the ground covered
with them. The warning was unheed-
Cd. and the calamity came. as some
now living remember
Now tho above theories are founded
on the idea that the seed has certain
amount OF life to give Its plant. and
that when that 10 exhausted the plant
must per force die. Il is q theory that
seems quite popular. but one that has
never been proven. Nor do We believe
II can be proven. II is altogether like
ly that the amount OF life force In
any plant. even budded or grated
plant. is controlled and produced by
the elements and principles that are
found In that plant: hence. II follows
that future gratis may have :.ore en-
ergy than the original parent: which
Is frequently the case. Varieties do

Back of the line. Gravelle, who was
substitute half last year, has devel-

and will make good the loss sustained
in the failure of Bent to return. Dugan
plays his old position, right half. and
Falls, who is a veteran in almost all
positions, will play left half. Miguel
who played such an excellent game at
full in the season of 1900, holds the
same place this year Red Tomahawk,
a substitute guard last year, will be a
sub for a back position. Arquette, a
new man, is making an excellent show
ing as substitute quarter-ba Ellis,
who has played substitute full back for
two seasons, is a valuable man for an
emergency, and Prickett, who was last
years center on the second team, is a
strong substitute guard this year.
Picard, a new man, has been showing
up we'll as center and as guard. Alto
