Dummy Leaves Cause Downfall ~

About 200 miles up the Amazon
there is tribe of Indians who are
expert hunters of big game. They
have remarkable way of capturing
puma
A young pig or goat is tied to 4
tree before night. For yards around
this tree the Indians scatter leaves
covered with a preparation made
from the sap Of the gum tree.
When night comes. the puma crawls
up to the bait and devours it. Hav-
Ing finished he discovers that his paws
are covered with leaves He tries to
rub them of with his nose and they
stick all over his face. Then, in des.
peration. he rolls about and becomes
literally caked in the gummy leaves.
About this time the natives charge
with torches and ropes, and the puma
Is so helpless and blind that he can
make no serious resistance. Then no
is carried alive to the village.

Women Of Abyssinian Tribe A.
Really Emaneipated.
In the valley Of the Barca. in Abys-
sinia, there is q community where
the women, without holding meetings
Or agitations of any kind have eman-
cipated themselves. All the women
work hard, while the men are idle;
but by way of compensation the house
and all it contains belong to the wife.
At the least unkind word she turns
the husband out at night. In storm or
rain, and he cannot come back until
he makes amends by the gift of a cow.
The wife considers it duty to abuse
the husband and il she were weak
enough to show any love for him in
life or grief at his death she would be
scorned by her tribe. The wife, with
out any reason. may strike her tent
and go, taking with her one.third Of
the joint possessions. The husband.
unless he is travelling, may not live
out of his tent.

for the big stories we hear now and

a common practice for habitual play

their chips by 100, so that their gains

From the Same Canteen.

Recently r. w. Davidson re-
ceived a letter from an old COM
rade and his picture. Mr.. David
son had not seen his companion
OF younger days for forty years
and OF course would not have
known the picture. On the back
OF the picture were the words,
I'VE drank from the same can
teen" Mr.. Davidson was
prompted to write the following,
lines regarding the picture of his
old friend:
Dear Comrade, your photos before me,
Tho old and gray, and thin you do seem,
On the card is written quite clearly:
We have drank from the same canteen.
What memories of marches come to us,
Tho forty long years intervene.
And there's few now left who knew us.
When we drank from the same canteen.
We've chro the smoke of the battle.
Where We saw the bright bavonets CLEAN
And heard the dread cannisters rattle,
And we've drank from the same canteen
We fought brave foe who was fearless
Tho we batfled their secession scheme
We acknowledged their valor was peer
less.
While we drank from the same canteen
Old chum. We are nearing life's river,
Soon will float on that beautiful stream
But we'll never forget, no never,

All her Resolutions Broken.

This story is told by an English
man who lived century ago: He
was dining out in London and sat by
lady whom he did not know. Their
conversation turned upon early reso-
buttons and how very seldom they
were kept and the lady said, We'll,
when l was a girl made three reso.

resolutions l broke. Whom do you
think did marry? The Duke of Wei.

for twelve years This was Lady
Katherine Pakenham. 1t was an un.
happy marriage and the couple mostly

System Of Athletics Said to De o.
Much Benefit.
That there should be special exer-
cises for the eyes Is perhaps novel
idea to many. But it is said that
one way to strengthen the eyes Ia to
turn them alternately upward and
downward as far as possible twenty
times in succession. Do this slowly.
Next turn the eyes on the level from
right to left. repeating as before. Turn
them to the upper left corner. and
then to logger right corner. Then al
ternate the motion from the upper
right corner to the lower left corner
and repeat. Conclude these exercises
by rolling the eyes around, first to
the right, then to the left, in the exl
IRENE limit of the muscular extern.
sions. Be very careful when perform.
ing the exercise not to strain the
muscles.

Eoroot the Chimney.

A short time ago a public ceremony
was to be carried out at Landshut, an
important town in lower Bavaria. A
new public school was to be formally
opened, and all I-andshut quivered
with pleasurable anticipation. UnfOr-
tunately the festivities had to be put
of at the last moment. The school
could not be opened. No scholar could
take his seat upon the brand-new
forms. The land was in the grip Of
winter, and the architect had forgot
ten to provide single chimney
throughout the building.

Painting in Early Ages.

The use of paint brushes is of great
antiquity; but as late as the fifteenth
century it was customary to apply
varnish by smearing it on with the
fingers or with bit Of sponge, as the
varnishes then used were too viscid
be put on more thinly and evenly
with the fingers. This practice was
used in he earliest times of which
there is any record. The Egyptian
mummy cases bear evidence of hav-
ing been vanished in this manner.

Charity Amona Chinese.

One OF the main reasons why
Christianity makes SO little progress
in China is, according to the German
Orientalist, Prof. F. Hirth. that the
Chinese do not believe in mixing up
religion with ethical doctrines and
practices. Their humanitarian prac.
tees are quite separate from all re-
ligious beliefs. China, the professor
adds, has had. for thousands OF years.
great numbers OF charitable insti.u-
tions, supported by all classes of the
population.

his ears is to get the earache in: HE

Me Two.


Heavy the clouds and dreary the day
One like we used to have long Sago;
Chilly and cold and bleak and gray,
But Polly and /, on our homeward way,
Care not at all for the binding snow.
Streets are deserted. save here and there
Red-nosed pedestrians vending their
way
Over the sleet-covered pavements where
An ill-chosen step means a trip through
air
And a heavy fail on this winters day.
Snuely ensconced in wooden wrap
Hands in a muff and her face aglow,
Polly is thinking OF me, mayhap.
And I-well. from under my heavy cap
I'm dreaming of her. for I love her So
Only we two, yet happier pair
Couldn't be found over land and sea,
For l love Polly. so sweet and fair,
And no cause have for a single care.
For Polly-she told me so-loves me!
