Startling Bat True,

People the world over were horri ed
on learning of the burning of a Chica-
go theatre in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, yet more than
hve times this number or over 5000
people died from pneumonia in Chica-
go during the same year, with scarce
ly passing notice. Every one of
these cases Of pneumonia resulted
from cold and could have been pre-
vented by the timely use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. A great many
who had every reason to fear pneu-
monia have warded it off by the
prompt use OF this remedy. The fol-
lowing is an instance of this sort:
TOO much cannot be said in favor of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and
especially for colds and influenza. l

erote.aue African Customs.

Tattooing is almost universally prac-
ticed by both sexes Of the natives or
Africa. 1t is, however very roughly
done and is altogether inferior to the
tnttooing of the Maoris of New Zea-
land and other Pacific races. The meth
od of operation Is simply to make a
slit In the skin and then rub In char
coal Among the less pleasing feminine
ornaments must be reckoned the nose
buttons Of the Wa Yao and the fright
full pelele, or lip ring, Of the Anyanja.
The nose button Is circular disk or
ivory or FURNISHED lead let into one
side of the nostril. Ugly as Is the ef-
feet produced by this, 1t Is yet thou
sand times less hideous than the pelele,
which consists of round, fat piece
of ivory or wood fixed In q slit in the
upper lip. The slit is gradually in
creased by the insertion Of successive
plugs, each little larger than the pre-
ccding one, until It can accommodate
a full sized pelele, which sticks out an
inch or more In front of the face, rem
dering the appearance Of the wearer
scarcely human.

OF nearly every other section OF France

The Gnme of Trinauet.

Popular among the Basque peasantry
Is an ancient game known as trinquet.
No one knows the origin of trinquet.
Like all Basque customs, 1t can be
traced back and back till Its history Is
lost in the remote past Nearly every
court In the country bears the aspect
Of extreme age. The court ut Bayonne
IL believed TO be 400 years old, and the
one at ST. Jean de Luz looks older than
the one at Bayonne. When Louis XIV.
who was married in St Jean de Luz
church, went down to the little frontier
town to meet his Spanish bride, he
found the Basques Of St Jean de Luz
energetlcally playing their ancient
game, and he took the idea back with
him to Paris. and from 1t, largely modi-
fed, comes the game of tennis.
Tennis and trinquet are very similar,
save that instead Of a racket leather
arrangement, known as glove, Is used
for propelling the ball.-Country Life.

Trick. a, Ancient Cola wo-1.r,

Tricks of Ancient Gold workers.
There is papyrus which gives
recipes for various alloys used in the
manufacture Of cups and vases, for
making gold and silver Ink. for gliding
and silvering and for testing the purity
Of precious metals. Other recipes
teach the method of falsifying them
by adding haser metals-an operation
called diplosis, or doubling, for the
mass Of the gold and silver was dou-
bled, while their color remained un-
changed, and, as the compiler Of the
manual remarks, a skilled workman
would find 1t difficult or even impos-
sible to detect the fraud. The recipes
which recur most frequently describe
various modes of preparing Assem-, a
word which originally meant q natural
alloy Of gold and silver known to the
Greeks as eiectrum. 1t was at first
looked upon as a distinct metal, was
considered sacred to Jupiter and was
designated by the sign Of that planet
but at later period the name was ap
piled to all alloys, and In this fact
seems to lie the explanation Of the
origin Of alchemy. Both gold and
silver could be extracted from genuine
asem, and II seemed as though 1t could
be changed at the VIII or tho operator
into either one or the other. II could
also be made artificially by mingling
gold and silver. or closely initiated by
some of the numerous alloys, eleven or
twelve varieties OF which are describ-
ed In the papyrus of Leyden.

A Kanalxn Canoe.

The early Kanakas built their fast
sailing canoes out Of the body of
single tree, following it out and stay
ing the edges with strips Of hard wood.
These strips extended to the ends and
covered a space at both stem and
stern. The triangular sails were made
Of fine mating, and the little craft
was steadied by an outrigger. The
ruling chiefs and their families travel
ed in large double canoes, with n rails
ed platform in the center for passen-
gers.
The building of a canoe was a very
serious business. Offerings were made
to the gods. and prayers were especial
ly addressed to the fisherman's tute-
larry saint. A priest finally stood with
the owner at the bow of the canoe and
recited the last prayer in unbroken ST.
lence; death and disaster were sure to
follow if any extraneous noise dis
turbed the scene.-New York Times.

The King Of Bardsey.

IRENE westerly point Of north Wales,

a singularly isolated COMMUNITY. The
island Ia the property Of Lord Newbor-

third baron, grandfather and prcdeces-
sor In the title of the present peer. At
that period the island was even more
remote and out of the way than at
present. Communication with Pwilhell
was infrequent and uncertain, Con
sequently the Bardsey folk formed an
entirely independent community, forced
BY circumstances to conduct their own
affairs without special reference to the
laws Of the country. Lord Newbor-

There are certain dishes which are
peculiarly dedicated by custom and
tradition to the Christmas feast. The
plum pudding is almost the sole sur
vivor of a long list Of equally savory
ones. There was the boar's head, al-
ways the herald Of the feast and al
ways seasoned with mustard. Next In
Importance was the peacock. The skin
was carefully stripped off, with the
plumage adhering. The bird was then
roasted. When It was done and had
cooled Il was served up again in It's
feathers and with gilded beak was
sent to the table. Sometimes the whole
body was covered with gold leaf and
piece of cotton saturated with spirits
placed In its beak and lighted as 1t
made it's gorgeous entry. The noble
bird was not served by common hands.
That privilege was reserved for the
ladies most distinguished by birth and
beauty. Geese, capons, pheasants and
pies of carps' tongues also helped to
set out the Christmas table In days

Old London EFIugo. --'---
Old London bridge was a monstros-
fly. 1t dated back to the year 1176 A.
d., and at least three wooden bridges
are known to have occupied the same
site prior to that date.
The old bridge was slightly oyer 900
feet In length, and had eighteen solid
stone piers, varying In thickness from
twenty 1re To thirtx-four- feet fhus
combining the flow of the river to less
than half Its natural channel. The en-
tire surface OF the bridge was occu-
pied by blocks of brick and stone build
ings-erected on arches, with the road
way running tunnel-like beneath
some of them four stories high. All
of these bridge buildings were densely
packed with human beings-at one
time estimated at 1,700-carrying on
all the trades and other vocations Of
life. Spanning the two center piers
was huge church building, dedicated
to st. Thomas Of Canterbury, but usu'
ally styled st. Peters Of the Bridge.
In very edrly time the arch opening
from the bridge toward the city was
called Traitors gate" and 1t was no
unusual thing to SEQ the heads Of
dozen executed criminals hanging
over it.
