The late Professor Huxley. who was
as shrewd an observer of men as he
was of nature. once remarked, after
falling into an indiscretion which an
noyed him, that when man says what
he has no need to say he Is sure to
blunder. The truth of the observation
will hardly be questioned unless by the
very few, II there are any such. who
never say more than there Is necessity
for saying. Most of us acknowledge, If
we review our own experience In the
matter. that we have frequently erred
by saying what needed not to be said.
But why is it that people SO persistent
ly commit this mistake? In the ordi-
nary small talk of the household or Of
society 1t matters little whether 1t is
committed or not.
But when serious matters are in
question, whether in conversation, in
set speech or in correspondence. a case
is frequently spoiled by irrelevance or
redundance. To say what you mean is
comparatively easy; to leave of when
you have said it Is difficult and for
many people impossible. In Huxley's
case the fault, which he probably did
not often commit. was due neither to
want of clear thinking nor to want of
facility in the use Of words. One or
the other or both of these causes will
explain the inability to keep to the
point" which Is usually apparent in
the speech and writing of uneducated
persons. But often, also, the speaker
or writer forgets that extraneous con.
siderations, interesting enough to him.
self, are Of no interest to those whom
he wishes to convince.

A Singing Earthworm.

We have heard of good many crea-
lures which sing, including Mr.. Rus
kin's singing serpents in the valley of
Diamonds, yet Mr.. Annandale has as
sured us that there exists in the Malay
peninsula a being which the NIalays de-
scribed under the above heading.
1t lives in a burrow in the ground
and cheerfully sings, or at least chirps.
But the Malays call everything that
crecps a worm, and the beast which
they really mean is large kind Of
cricket with Il voice.
In the very same part of the world,
however. is real earthworm, huge
monster three or four feet in length.
which was discovered not long ago and
which really has a voice, or at least
can produce 4 sound. The Latin name
of musicus has been given to it on that
account.
When it is foraging about near the
surface of the ground, the numerous
sharp little bristles implanted in Its
skin. which enable 1t to hold on to the
earth, strike against stones and give
out a musical sound. This Is rather
more like twanging a Jews harp"
than singing. But any sort Of sound
from these silent, gliding creatures Is
simsing.-London Express.

family's possession many years ago
and shows an interesting phase of An
drew Jackson's character as well as q
glimpse of the simple times of his pres

1t appears that a clerk In the state
department contracted a tailor's bill for
$Gf.J0. and the tailor, finding himself
unable 10 collect the amount, laid the
matter before the president in an ap-
p2aling letter.
Jackson promptly decided that this
was Il matter to which he must attend
personally. so he transmitted the tai.
lor's letter to the secretary Of state,
with this strong recommendations:

GODS FOR PAINTINGS.
The Strange Significance OF Dolls
Among the Moqui Indians.

The Strange SlEnfmcanCe OF DO1k@
Among the Moqui Indians.
1t is a curious feature of the religion Of
the MoQui Indians, the snake dancers" Of
New Mexico, that during one Of their
famous dances dolls representing kat
cinas or gods are distributed to all the
village children. In the Peabody museum
at Harvard university there is collec-
ton of nearly 100 of these grotesque
idols which were once the playthings Of
children, but now form an exhibit OF
peculiar interest to the student Of eth
aology.
The dolls, although they appear to be
of all sorts and sizes, are nevertheless
shaped and painted according to an un-
varying rule applicable to that particular
one of the 60 or 70 katcinas which each
is intended to represent. On them are
depicted great variety Of arbitrary signs
indicating. for example, the lightning or
the thunGercloud or the hail or the rain
storm or some animal. Often the rain
bow is carved over their heads, and many
of them bear a curious headdress in the
form of q thin tablet of wood, which is
rut in an archaic but symmetrical pat
tern of much elaboration and ornamented
with eagles and owls feathers.
Most of the special symbolism is to be
looked for in the carving and making OF
the masked heads, while the bodies be-
long to more or less general types. Some
times they are painted on both sides alike
and sometimes differently. Some Of them
are naked and some Of them wear bian-
kets or the dance kits. Most Of them
vary in height from six inches to q foot
and half. But there are several In
the Harvard collection which are nearer
four feet One of these latter Is a COM
posite figure, one doll bearing another
on it's head, with a third above the
second.
Not only does the religion Of the MoQui
appear in the universal masking Of the
dolls. but also in the selection Of the tree
from which they are made, the cotton
wood being sacred since it grows along
the water courses the most precious pos
session of the Indians. The dolls are
carved from the root, which is very light
and so soft that it may be cut with the
greatest ease. The dolls are now whit
tied out with jackknives. but in the old
days before the white man came stone
knives were used, and even now the
smoothing and polishing of the dolls Is
mainly done with a piece Of sandstone.
On account of their religious significance
they are treated more respectfully than
most dolls, and doubtless the little Moqui
girl would often be glad Of less solemn
toy for her plaything.

A RUSTY KEY.
II Cleared Up q Forgotten Murder
and Hanged the Murderer.

It Cleared Up a Forgotten Murder
and Hanged the Murderer.
"Small things sometimes tell big tales
and unravel mysteries of long standing"
said an old detective who has seen long
service in running down criminals in va
rious parts of the country. The most
singular case that ever fell under my care
was a case in which a white man had
been murdered in some mysterious way,
and the body was put away and all eff
forts to locate it were out of the ques-
ton. Suspicion Iell on a negro, and he
was arrested, but subsequently was re-
leased because Of the absence of proof to
connect him with the crime. The body
was missing, and it was certain that the
man mad been murdered and robbed by
some person familiar with the surround
ings. The negro had worked for him,
but had been discharged because of inn
pudence.
"Ten years lapsed. All interest In the
crime had died out. One day some negro
blackberry pickersz came across q key
which hung on the limb Of q bush. Be
cause Of the growth of the bush the han
die Of the key was partially buried in
the limb. Right under the bush the ne
Eroes found the bleached and decaying
bones of human form. When the mat
ter was reported, was sent out to in
vestigate the matter, and l gathered up
the bones, cut the bush down and took
everything to the police station. We
went back over the list of missing men.
There was a captain connected with
the department who possessed a wonder
full memory, and he turned all of his at
tention to the rusty key, which was still
in the limb of the bush. ! ought to state
here that the negro had remained In the
community and had by his industry
bought few acres of land on which
stood the house which had figured In the
mysterious disa appearance ten years be-
fore. Cut that key out for me- said the
captain, and 1t was cut out. He had a
consultation with the chief and, without
telling me where he was going, asked me
to go with him.
1--WE Travelled about four miles and
drove up to a little house late In the
evening. There was nobody at home. I
guess we might as well go in the captain
said, and, pulling the key from his pock-
ct, he showed 1t into the lock, turned 1t
and opened the door. We waited for the
negro after locking the door again. but
he never returned. The house was
watched all night, but the negro never
came. We grew suspicious and soon
learned that he had fled upon hearing of
the discovery in the brier patch: Flight
strengthened the evidence of his guilt.
He was arrested in neighboring state,
returned, tried and convicted and finally
executed.
1.-The key which solved the mystery had
got caught In a twig that sprung up in
the brier patch. and but for this fact the
mystery would have never been solved"

Your mothers and grandmothers' never

clean out the system and stop fermenta-

ton of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and bad
