Many Of the people Of India are nrm

BILE excitement has been caused there
by the strange story Of an incident
which recently occurred In the distric,
Of Pegou. The natives there, saws the
Chicago Chronicle. suddenly became
convinced that q 6-mcnths-old child
was the ~re1ncarnetion of the late Mr..
Tucker, superintendent of tho district,
who was killed by bandits in 1894, and
that moment the unconscious infant
became the most important parsonage

the story goes that at sight of the fatal
spot 1t trembled ell over and almost

an intelligent desire for knowledge in
every department of outdoor nature
This awakening has been attended nv

THEIR WORK KILLS MUSIC.
telegraph Operators Cannot Play
Plano WeII-Strnincd Muscles of
the Forearm the Cause.

Did you ever hear of q telegrapher
who could play the piano. If SO, how
many? Not how many pianos, OF
course. but how many ~telegraphers. Tel
egraph operators find that after they
have worked at II key for several years
their forearms and their fingers lost
that flexibility that is essential to mu-
siclanally work on the piano. AS
man of the men are fond Of music,
and have pianos Of their own, they find
1t hard, says the New York Herald, to
be cut off from the enjoyment OF the
music they could make for themselves
If it were not for the strained conditions
of their muscles.
There are few other lines Of work that
incapacitate a man for picking out the
sharps and flats, but the telegraphers
say that they know few men in their
ranks who can use q piano with any eff
feet.
When they sit down before Il their
first impulse is the old impulse that
operating the key gives them. They
want to use that finger that they use in
sending messages, and they find it diff
cult oven after they struggle for a long
time to make themselves players of

in my boyhood days in Ohio. My folks
owned a valuable horse. which slipped
on the ice and strained the tendons OF
one of its hind legs so that it could
not put the heel on the ground, and
had to walk on its toe for several
months, when an old farmer told us to
rub it with angleworms. putting them
in bottles and hanging in the sun until
all the oil was tried out Of them. Then
strain it and use as a liniment. We
did this and 1t effected the desired re-
