It is pointed out, however, that in

TIhetan Skull prunns.

A drum Of an extreme repulsive-
ness of nature is one used by the
lamas of Tibet at some of their
church ceremonies. For this the
craniums of two skulls, preferably
children's, are taken, and over the
concave side of each is stretched the
skin of snake. The two skulls are
then celnented at their vertices to
either side Of wooden disk covered
with cotton cloth, the stretched
skins being outermost. These drums
are often ornamented by having the
heads of devils and such like hor-
Tors, the more repulsiva the better,
painted upon them in red and blue
colors. The method employed in
playing them is rather curious. To
the wooden disk between the two
halves cord is fastened, by which
the drum can be suspended and then
rapidly rotated. Two short cords
with knobs at their ends hang down
in such way that as the drum re-
wolves they strike alternately on Ell
ther face and thus produce regu-
lar 'tum, tum. "-Good-Words.

SieepwaikIng a Mystery.

Sleepwalking is something better
understood now than formerly, but
psychologists. are not thoroughly
agreed in regard to many of the
phases.

of an even better. known case, that
Of young Welsh lady walking
three miles on cold night in her
nightgown without awakening, up
set many of the previously accepted
theories.
It had been thought that expo
sure to intense cold as well as intense
heat would awaken the sleepwalker,
but in these cases, which are well
authenticated, it appears that this
opinion, while correct possibly in
the main, is not always 80.

has five distinct calls. It's cry when
it loses sight of its mother is entire

which it signifies that it is hungry.
After being fed it utters another
call expressive of its desire to be
covered and to sleep. The cry of
fright is kind Of 7tchir-r," which
is used also by the hen as warning
call and never fails to bring the
brood scampering to her. The cluck-
ing of hen to her chicks il famil-

know that, although there may be
scores Of hens in q farmyard cluck-
ing at once, the voice of each will be
unmistakable to her particular
brood, and, moreover, every hen will
know which is her own family
among whole cluster of other
chicks.

Not What He Meant at All.

Politeness, it is true, must have
its origin in kind heart and de-
sire to please, but tact and thought
fulness and quick wit are also essen
tial to good manners. (
A very stout hostess who was en-
tertaining large company one
evening turned to group of young
men standing, near her chair and
smilingly asked:
sMay I trouble one of you young
gentlemen for glass of water from
the pitcher Oh the tablet"
Several of the young men hurried
to comply with the request. One
who was particularly active succeed
ed in reaching the table first.
AS he handed the glass to the
hostess she complimented him on
his quiclness.
ooh, that's nothing" he said. sT
am used to it. I got into many a
circus and menagerie when I was a
boy by carrying water for the eIe-
phant."
It was only when he saw the ex-
preston on the lady's face and no.
ticed the silence that the young man
realized what he had said.

Genius and cout.

Mr.. Havelock Ellis in the course
OF his researches into the causes of
death of great men and into the all
ments to which they were subject
finds that gout is q preponderating
ailment of genius. The list given Of
the victims of gout is a long and in
teresting one. It includes John
Milton, William Harvey, Isaac New
ton, Samuel Johnson, Savage Ian
dor, w. R. Hamilton and last,
though by no means least, Darwin
himself. Epilepsy has long been
known also as ar. .ailment associated
with a high ordep of brain. Napo-
leon, Mohammed, Lord Herbert of
Cherbury and Hamilton are cited as
examples Of the epileptic tendency.
Julius Cesar might probably. have
been added to the list, while Swe--
'denborg is claimed by alienists as
also belonging to the epileptic divi-
sion.--London Standard.

at Cstende the admission fea ia
20 francs, which operates to exclude
nearly ali persons excepting those
who wish l. play, whereas at Monte
Carlo the gambling ROOMS are gem
tors.
Nevertheless at the height Of the
season the gorgeous and spacious
salons OF the Ostende club are gem
eral!y crowded with men and WON
en-, In about equal proportions, and
the regulation evening dress Of the
men and the toilets and Jewels Of
the women make the scene about
the tables as dazzling as it is de-
moralizing. Roulette and trente ct
quarante are the favorite games, the
former generally for low and the
latter for high stakes.
The minimum stake is 8 francs
and the maximum is 1000 francs.
The maximum limit is frequently
played by the more experienced and
reckless gamblers, and the total
winnings and losings of a day or a
night are undoubtedly of enormous
proportions. Just what these pro-
portions are is known only to the
inside management. That they are
uniformly large can be readily in
ferred from the fact that it is no
uncommon thing to see a single
player win or lose 250,OOO francs at
a single sitting. With hundreds of
players at the tables, playing day
and night, with chips representing
all the way from francs to 1000
francs, it is not difficult to reach
the conclusion that upward of
100000 francs are daily lost and
won at these tables, and they are
generally lost by the players.
No doubt the game is fair and
square enough, as such games go.
1t is not necessary for the proprie-
tors of gambling establishments at
Ostende or elsewhere to take any
unfair advantage Of their patrons in
order to win their money. Their
main reliance is on the recklessness
and foolhardiness of the average
gambler, who never knows how to
stop playing until he has lost his
last sou.-Forum.

The Glow,yorrn,a Linht.

The English glowworm is the
wingless female Of winged beetle.
Some suppose that the light she
bears is bestowed for her protection
to scare away the nightingale and
other nocturnal birds. Others, how
ever, believe that the gift Of bright
ness is the very lure by which her
foes are assisted to discover and de-
your her. Much speculation has
been INDUCED in as to the nature
OF the glowwor1n's light, which is.
not put out by water or seemingly
capable of giving forth any heat.
4It has been asserted that the light
difusing substance contains phos-'
.phorus, but this has never been
proved. Certainly it is incapable of
: ,coinmunicatin ignition to any-
thing. ~

Two men-we may assume that
one was q Frenchman-were riding

One was exceedingly clever, while
the other was correspondingly dull.

monopolized the conversation, and
