4 Flimsv Craft.

While it is rarely employed by Euro.
peans as a method of travel, even in
emergencies, the catamaran Of the
Madras fishermen of India is by all
odds the most extraordinary Of water
vehicles. 1t consists simply of three
logs dashed together and flush with the
surface Of the water. On these a fish:
erman sometimes two or more fisher
mem stands and with a single oar pad
dies himself far out to sea. A Madras
fisherman will venture out when boat
men will not launch their craft, and
even in weather when boats cannot be
launched he will go through the surf
and out to ships with letters, for the
delivery of which he gets a few pence.
In order to catch their ships a few be.
lated travellers have been known to
trust themselves on catamarans. They
are united in the statement that the
ride on the logs was the most nerve
trying experience they had undergone
In q land that holds a new thrill for the
stranger at every turn. The sea and
an occasional ducking have no terrors
for these natives. not even the ex-
tremely young, and in reality the cata-
maran is not entirely to be. scorned, for
1t Is, after all. nonsinkabh.

Man and Ills "Galluae..n

The "gallus'' marks the freeman and
the a of genuine, u%npretending cul-
ture and civilization. Your snob and
your savage abhor it. In Mesopotamia
the wild bashi bazouk wears q belt; in
Yucatan the Indian wears a girdle of
sharks teeth; in Senegambia the
shameless cannibal sports a gunny sack;
In Atlantic City some years back the
dudes used to wear ashes. But find q
man who when he throws off his coat
to begin his daily toll lays bare a pair
OF heavy sky blue galluses and you'll
lind u man who pays his way in the
world, loves his wife, rears his chill
dren in the fear of the Lord and votes
the straight ticket. The "gallus" is
useful, it is graceful, and properly
adorned with hand painted flowers and
brass buckles it is beautiful. To be
ashamed Of 1t, to conceal it or to aban-
don it for a somber leather belt Is to
fail in an essential Of true manhood
and fly in the face Of fate.-Baltimore

h Circle County.

The oldest shaped county among the
thousands which go to make up the
separate divisions Of the various states
is Warren county, Tenn. It lies almost
exactly In the geographical center of
the state and is about as near a perfect
circle as any division of land could
possibly be. The circle would be per.
feet but for the fact that there Is q
short stretch Of the northern boundary
line which follows a small stream for
a short distance. 1t Is bounded by Can
non, Dekalb, Coffee, Grundy, Van Blu.
rem and White counties.

Clock inscriptions,

In former times it was the custom of
clockmakers to inscrfbe on the dial
plates of their clocks quaint verses,
n Of the most common being the fol-
lowing: n.. ,a
I serve thee here with all my might
To tell the hours by day, by night,
Therefore example take by me
To serve thy God as I serve thee.
Another favorite inscription was
"Tempus Fugit," or "Time Flies" and
thereby hangs a tale. A we'll known
English clockmaker who flourished to-
ward the close of the last century, on
being asked by a customer whether a
certain clock was of home manufacture,
replied: "Oh, certainly. Don't you see
the name, sir-Tummas Fugit? I often
have his clocks through my hands,"

INDIAN MYTHS.
One Accounts For the Custom Of

oAC "SNouAASU Cor inc OuNtO" Oh
ScaipinE IN Enemy.
Among the many myths Of the North
American Indian the disposition Of the
soul after it's separation from tie body
and its close connection with the scalp
varies according to the religion Of the
tribe. With some the journey to the
"happy hunting grounds begins i'm
mediately: with others the spirit re-
Mains near the grave. Again. if al In
dian dies away from the lodges Of his
people the spirit returns ut once to
them, where it hovers rs If reluctant
to leave. Among the upper Missouri
river tribes it is believed that before
the spirit finally departs from those
THO have died from wounds received
II battle 1t floats toward u great cliff
ovelhanging the Missouri and carves
upon the wall of rock IL picture show
ing the manner of death.
1t is believed by most Of the plains
tribes that the soul attaches itself to
the scalp; that the soul of a person
scalped does not b1ffer from the
wounds Inflicted on the body, but that
the opposite is the cas where the
scalp is not torn off.
An Indian who kills himself in bat
tie. accidentally or purposely, has posi-
lively no hereafter. He is irrevocably
lost. Those who are struck by light
ming OF die by any other apparently
direct operation Of the Great Spirit
are hurriedly buried where they fell
without ceremony. and no mound or
nark Is erected over them. If after
a battle there are found corpses not
scalped or mutilated 1t is positive evil
dence that such persons came to their
death by their Owl hand. for it is u
tenet Of the Indian religion not to scalp
or mutilate the body of an enemy who
commits suicide. Cleveland Plain

Reserve Buds,

Every n has noticed how, when q
large branch Of a tree is cut of, small
branches will shoot out around the
stump. These branches are from the
reserve buds, Of which all trees have q
great number at every portion Of their
surface. Under ordinary circumstances
these never come to maturity, but when
the tree is wounded or cut of or loses
some Of its branches the reserve buds
at once come into play and renew the
foliage.

WORK AMONG LEPERS.
Rev. Father Conrady and Women
Assistants Will Take Charge of
Plague Colony at Canton, China.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20-Few
people care to brave death amid
loathsome lepers, yet hero is
found in the Rev. Father l.. l..
Conrady, who will soon leave for
Canton, China. to take personal
charge of a leper colony on an ad-
jacent island. He had recently
visited the island, and returned to
raise funds for the erection and
establishment buildings and the
lepers. He states that there are
thousands of abandoned victims of
this loathsome disease near Can
ton. Their condition is even more
appalling than that of the lepers
at Molokai, where he spent a few
years ministering to their suffer
ings. He has secured the services
of several sisters of a religious
community who will accompany
him on this dangerous mission.

AT THE WASHINGTON.

A lively and pleasing bill, headed
by the two Zeraldas in difficult
feats of balancing and posturing,
opened at the Washington theater
last evening. DeCarlo and Stokes
do a triple horizontal bar act that
won them much applause and is
the best thing of it's kind ever seen
in this city. Lynn Welcher earned
himself several recalls, his mono
logue being of the kind filled with
funny surprises. He is an easy
and fluent talker and does not try
to impress upon his audience the
fact that he is saying something
funny, a mistake too often made
by this class of entertainers. EMar-
shall and Lorraine in comedy
sketch do pretty bit of Bowery
imitation. Walter c. Wilson is
this week singing several charm
ing ballads and the illustrated pic
lures of the life of a newsboy are
among the best yet seen at the
Washington.
