A Good Plncc TO Avoid.

In the northern Shan states, on the
border of Burma, there is tribe called
the Wild Was. These people propitiate
with human skulls the demons whom
they worship. Outside every village in
their country there are many posts, all
in one line, deckcd with human skulls.
a niche is cut in the back Of each post,
with ledge on which the skull can
rest and grin through hole in front
Of 1t. Every village has dozen and
some as many as n hundred of these
head posts. Fresh skulls are in special
request at harvest time and are pur-
chased for large sums, those of distln-

4 Joke lie Liked.

In the strain and excitement of trad
Ing on Wall street the brokers, says
Mr.. Il. G. Stedman In the Century
Magazine, often relapse into wild mer-
riment and play boyish pranks On
one occasion an old Indian with
young brave, boy and two squaws
entered the gallery. At once the floor
put forth every effort TO break down
their stolidlty. A war whoop had no
effect. y war dance did not arouse
even a smile.
At last baldheaded man was thrust
into ring of young fellows, his hands
held behind him, knife drawn around
his pate, and the mummery of futile
attempt to detach his scalp was en-
acted.
This was Mt last too much for the dig
nifty of the aborigines. The boy broke
into n broad laugh, in which the squaws
joined; the young warrior grinned in
spite Of himself, and at last the SEM
blnnce of grim humor overspread the
face of the ruthless old chief, who may
have been the perpetrator of as many
atrocities as Geronimo.

"Do 1t Today

The time-worn injunction, "Never
put off It'll tomorrow what you can do
to-day" is now generally presented in
this form "Do it to-day !" That is the
terse advice we want TO give you about
that hacking cough or demoralizing
cold with which you have been strug-
CLING for several days, perhaps weeks.
Take some reliable remedy for 1t to-day
and let that remedy be DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which has been in Use
for over thirty-fve yoars. A few doses
of it will undoubtedly relieve your
cough or cold, and its continued use for
a few days will cure you completely.
No matter how deep-seated your cough,
even If dread consumption has attacked
your lungs, German Syrup will surely
effect cure-as it has done before In
thousands of apparently hopeless cases
OF lung trouble. New trial bottles, 25c:
regular size, 75c. At all druggists. II.

Malay snperssition.

Malays have very much the same
ideas of bad and good luck signs as
prevail In other countries. If one trips
on the steps of his house or knocks his
head against the Intel when starting
for journey he delays day, If possi
bic, for the accident portends death.
Fearful i'll luck will attend a native
who starts on journey In the rain, for
the rain signifies tears. AS a swarm
OF bees settling ON or near house in
England brings good luck, so the result
is the very opposite In Malay districts.

cidedly benefits the occupier, for, II

In Singapore we see Malay cottages
around us, here and there, yet few
know the superstitions prevailing with
regard TO the building of these habitu-
tions For instance, If the steps in
front are by an unlucky chance placed
exactly under the center rafters II will
mean quarrels and fighting under the
roof. A visitor to one of these dwell
ings must never lean against the steps
when talking. That would entail q
funeral from the house. This weird
notion arises from the fact that cof-
fins are handed TO men at the bottom
Of the steps.-London Times.

The Barber,s Pole.

The origin of the barber's pole, itself
almost now thing of the past, origi-
mated In the days of barber surgeons,
when bloodletting was considered
panacea for most of the ills that flesh
is heir to. The pole was used for the
patient to grasp during the operation,
and fillet or bandage for tying up the
arm. When the pole was not In use,
the tape was tied to 1t and twisted
round 1t, and then it was hung up as
a sign. At length, instead of hanging
out the actual pole used in operations,
a painted one with stripes round it in
imitation of the genuine article and
Its bandages was placed over the shop.

You will not find everything In south

stretches of green in the open places,
far removed from the dusty cities, the
noble trees, the clear streams of wa
ter, the blue lake nestled In among the
pine clad mountains. You will miss
that splendid miracle the change Of
the seasons, when your whole nature
comes into closer touch with the great
mother heart of nature than at any
other time I'm all the year,
You will miss much But when you
have been here year, when month
after month of rare and beautiful
weather blend into each other, when
the sea wooes you and the flowers charm
you and the brown mountains beckon
you and the soft air soothes you, after
a year has passed you find there are
some compensations for the lovely
things you have left behind you. You
come to realize that nature has done
more for this stretch of sea and noun
tain glrt land than she has done for
any other spot on the globe.

HEREDITARY RANK.
Precedence In England ms II struck
an American Girl.

l knew young American girl who,
going to England under the care of an
ambassadors family and attending her
first large dinner party ard looking
about her, selected as the guest in the
room who most interested her one man
Of distinguished aspect whom she re-
solved TO watch. When the guests
were ushered into the dining hall ac-
cording TO the laws of precedence she
found herself at the very end OF the
brilliant procession as one of two un-
titled plebeians in the room, assigned
TO the escort of the very man who had
interested her and who turned out to
be Samuel Rogers, the poet and patron
of art and the recognized head of lit
erary society in England. She always
said that she secured two things ut
that entertainment-namely, the most
delightful companion that she ever
had at dinner party and, moreover,
lesson In the outcome of mere hered-
itary rank that would last lifetime.
Rogers poems are not now read so
much as formerly, but at that time the
highest literary honor man could
have was to dine with Rogers. He was
also one of the richest bankers in Lon
don and was very possibly the only
person in the room who had won for
himself a reputation outside of his
own little island, but he was next to
nobody in that company, and the little
American girl was the nobody.-Thom-

How One Fact Was Discovered.

In the early part of the last century
an English buttonmaker became fa-
nous for the steel waistcoat buttons
which he used to manufacture with
lines cut upon them for ornament. He
gradually put the lines nearer and
nearer together and observed that az
buttons became more and more rides
cent. He explained his discovery to n
scientist, who began experimenting
upon ruled plates of steel. The result
was the wonderful diffraction graf
ing which is now used In place of the
glass prism upon all great telescopes

Poets are, If possible, worse offend

than are novelists. A man pulls two

pang or a gasp, staggers gracefully
backward to n conveniently placed
seat, drops upon it, clasps the region
of the heart with both hands and dies
after little convulsive movement of
the legs. Heart disease, too, carries

Testing n Horses Eyes,

The unsuspecting farmer is often
"bit" by the professional horse trader
in having n horse with defective sight
palmed OF on him. The trader makes
n John l.. pass at the horses eye with
his fist, and the force Of the air causes
the horse to bat or blink his eyes,
though he may be totally blind In one
eye and weak in the other.
If the farmer will blindfold one of
the animals eyes and make gentle
passes at five and ten feet from it, he
can tell how strong the animals sight
Is in that eye. Then blind the examin-
ed eye and go through the same proc
ess with the other.

London English n base Jargon.

able class. the class whom in matters
social everybody initiates, speaking 1t
well. But how can English be well
spoken when some of the greatest la
dies speak the idiom of Massachusetts
through their noses and large pro-
portion of the men cough the idiom of
Frankfort from their throats? The
constant babbling of broken English
at dinner tables and In drawing rooms
is becoming quite fatiguing. and as a
result the English speak their tongue
worse than it was ever spoken before.
Everybody knows the temptation to
speak Il sort of baby pigeon English
to a foreigner in the strange hope that
It may be more Ineligible to him.

Yankees have reduced the English Ian

Hot WATER.

Cold blooded people, who have little
thirst, will do well to make business
of drinking certain amount of hot
water every day throughout the win

take cold, improves the circulation and
benefits coughs and insomnia.
Before going to bed is a very good
time for this practice, as 1t warns up
and relaxes the system, thus preparing
the way for good nights sleep.

cured in half an hour by drinking slow
