STRANGE SAVAGE CUSTOM
Weird Tribal Ceremony Of the Natives
Of the Anglo-Abyssinian
Boundary.

Some remarkable tribal customs are
reported by an expedition sent into
the comparatively unknown countries
between the Abyssinian capital and
the northwest of Lake Rudolf, in the
neighborhood of the Anglo-Abyssinian
boundary.
While the expedition was fitting out
at Mali, the Abyssinian post in the
southwest, the local Shankalla king
died. He was sewn up in fresh hide
bag in a sitting position and placed
on the floor Of his hut, which stood in
clearing in the forest, and from
miles around his subjects came to the
lying in state.
The ground Of the clearing was of
hard beaten clay. All round were
thick rows Of huge "gogo" palms, and
on one side four spacious, we'll
thatched huts and a curious mound,
probably sacrificial. BY the side Of
the huts thousands of cow bells, sweet
in tone as those in Swiss upland
valley, were hung On rude trestles and
swung backwards and forwards by
bands of women under the direction
of an old witch.
The hard, level flooring of the clear
ing shook under the feet of hundreds
Of naked warriors, chanting a wild
song of death, now advancing in a
rhythmic rush, now retreating and
leaving two of their number in the
open, who, with their 12-foot spears
held horizontally just over their
shoulders, the shafts qivering like a
snake before it strikes, danced wild
war dance, keeping time to the chant
Of the chorus.
When the din grew louder the
crowd surged round the dead kings
hut, suddenly parted, and through tho
lane thus formed dashed a cleaning
figure, adorned with a leopard skin,
orange cofored ostrich feathers, beads,
and bands Of copper and brass and
ivory round his neck and arms.
Three times he rushed round the
clearing, followed by the shouting,
singing warriors, and then disap-
peared as quickly as he had come.
The new king had been chosen.

FIND HEART OF RAMEsEs.
Vital Organ Of Great Egyptian King
Preserved in Vase for
3,164 Years.

A recent issue of the Complies Rem.
dus of the Paris academy contains an
account OF the successful Identification
OF the heart Of Rameses H., the Sesos-
iris Of the Greeks, after having been
preserved since 1858 B. C. in soda and
resinoid antiseptics.
Some months ago, says the New
York Times, the council OF the Ma
tional Museum of the Louvre acquired
possession of the four vases In blue
enamel which contain the viscera and
heart OF Rameses H.. and bear large
medallions representing the names and
attributes Of the king.
The directors Of the Egyptian muse
um desired absolute confirmation as to
the. contents of the vases and intrusted
the examination of their contents to
M. Lortet. who, with his colleagues.
Professors Hugounenq, Renaut and
Rigan, made careful physiological ex-
animation. Three Of the vases con-
tanned bandages of linen tightly COM
pacted and hardened by the carbonate
OF soda and aromatic resinous SUBJ
stances of reddish color, which had
been employed as antiseptics and had
probably contained the stomach, intes-
tines and liver of the great king. These
viscera, however, were only found to
be represented by {. quantity of granu-
lar matter, mixed with a large propor-
tion of powdered carbonate of soda
and so could not bc identified.
The fourth vase, which was fitted
with lid or cover adorned with the
head Of jackal, proved to contain the
heart. This organ was found trans
formed into kind of oval plate. eight
centimeters long and four centimeters
wide. The substance of the heart was
hornlike and the saw had to be used in
obtaining sections of it for examination
and finally the razor, so as to reduce
these sections to the attenuation neces-
sary for microscopic examination.
Under the miscroscope these sections
gave unmistakable evidence of the mus
cular fbers peculiar to the heart, espe-
cially characterized by being arranged
in bundles of such fibers, crossing each
other Since this special muscular
arrangement Is not found in any other
part Of the body except the tongue and
as the mummy of Rameses H., which
is preserved at Cairo, contains the
tongue intact, the experts have no
doubt whatever that the vase actually
contained the heart of Rameses II. fiat
tened and transformed into a hornlike
substance by its long sojourn in the
soda preservatives.
King Rameses II. died 1888 years be-
fore the Christian era and hence soma
1854 years have elapsed since his heart
was first embalmed.

Drainage Meeting.

The land owners of the Black Bayou
drainage district held a meeting at
Greenville and adopted resolutions re-
uuesting the board of supervisors of
Washington county to order survey of
the district, to be made at cost not
to exceed $4,000. This is the first
drainage meeting held in the delta, and
should the survey prove that the land
can be successfully drained and the
1000 acres now worthless, on account OF
standing water, be brought into cultiva-
ton and $3,OOO,OOO of hardwood timber
on the land marketed, it will cause like
meetings in other counties to be held
and hasten the further development of
the great delta.

The Many Virtues of Salt.

Salt puts out fire in the chimney.
Salt in the oven under baking tins
will prevent scorching on the bottom.
Salt and vinegar will remove stains
from discolored teacups. Salt and
soda are excellent for bee stings
and spider bites. Salt thrown on SCOT
which has fallen ON the carpet will
prevent stains. Salt put on ink when
freshly spilled on carpet will remove
the spot. Salt thrown on coal fire
which is low will revive it. Salt used
in sweeping carpets keeps out moths.

Water Struck at Newton.

After making several attempts to get
artesian water and boring one well to u
depth of about 900 feet, the Newton
Oil and Manufacturing Company sue
ceeded in getting good supply OF
water at depth of something like 300
feet. The water, which is of splen-

of the top, and pump has been in
stalled to bring it above the surface.
The flow is 100 gallons to the minute.
The company is now using the water

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
C. O. d. Whisky Traffic.

The action of the United States court
in Kansas City in turning down the
application for mandamus brought by
the whisky distillers to force the Amer
ican Express Company to carry and de-
liver their goods G. o. D. in prohibition
or local option districts in Mississippi,
causes general satisfaction throughout
the State. 1t is believed that had the
court sustained the application and
forced the express company to accept
the goods the company would not have
been able to maintain offices in any but
the larger business centers in the State.
The representative of the company, act
ing under instructions from General
Superintendent Kinch, has paid into the
State treasury the amount due as priv
ilege tax, which is $500, in addition to
which is the mileage rate of So for every
mile of frstclass track covered, and 81
for each second, third or fourth class
track. Had this, or any other company
operating continued to run the COLLECTION
delivery whisky traffic as a side line, in
lieu of the $4,000 State tax, in which
they would have been mulcted for each
of said offices, in case of failure to pay
they would have been compelled to pay
$50 day to the State and like sum
to the county in which such office was
located, and operated as such depot.
This could have been recovered to the
State or county civily or jointly, by
suit in any court of the State.

them during the summer. 1t is desired
to hold at least one institute in each
county and in counties where the inter-

could be held. The institute manage
ment is going to secure wide awake and
enthusiastic men from different parts of
the country whose wide experience in the
several lines of agriculture will enable
them to be of great aid and benefit to
the farmers in Mississippi. The coun-
ties desiring farmers institutes should
make application as early as possible,

A girls club does not require much
red tape You will need a treasurer if
you have anything for which money
will be required. If, for example, your
club does any work for the poor or en-
cages at all in charity, you must have
small weekly or monthly dues, and
these you should take out of your own
personal allowance, not asking your
parents for them. The treasurer must
keep an exact account Of what she re-
ceives and what she expends, and must
from time to time make a report to
her club. A president and secretary
are the only other necessary officers.
AS for the clubs name 1t may be
whatever you choose. A Latin name is
often preferred because it sounds
learned, and everybody is not supposed
to know what it means An alphabet

not have to reveal to the outside pub
