Hiss for shame, 1Ts

This cry is net sung. It is intoned. And so the Gomeras intone their gut tural language. It would be quite easy to whistle the Hiss for shame cry. So it is quite easy to whistle the Come ras' singsong language. En- Quirer

\ Whlstlo Language.

They have . whistle language on Go mera island, in the Canary archipelago. They can whistle there as articulately as a Bostofan speaks. And, since they can whistle very loud and shrill, the Gomeras can converse long way off. A Gomera hunting mile from home can ask his wife what there is for him, he can scold her and order q change quite as we'll as though he stood beside her.
 The Gomeras talk ill singsong, and their whistl language reproduces the spoken ones intonations. For instance, children all over America have q taunt- ing cry:

 In former times the punishment of the bagno (bathL one of the most cleverly cruel in6ictious ever devised by an official of the torture chamber, was administered in italy. probably in Venice. where the water Of the lagoons played so prominent a part in its penal system. The punishment was as fol- lows: The prisoner was placed in q vat the sides of which were slightly in excess of the average height of man. In order to hold in check the rising tide of a supply of water which ran into the vat in a constant stream the crimi- nal was furnished with a scoop with which to bale out the water aS fast as 1t came in The respite from death by immersion thus obtained was more or less prolonged. according Co the powers of endurance possessed by the victim, but imagine the mortal torture. the eX- haustng and even hideously grotesque efforts. the incesSant and pitiless toll by night and day. to stave off the dread moment fast approaching, when, over come by sleep and fatigue, he was un- able to struggle any longer against his fate

Cigars Eeu Can Afford.

"A long. low strip of land, a valley between high hills, lies five miles out side of Havana, and there," said q cigar salesman, 'the best tobacco in the world is grown. The name of the place is Abajo, and the Vuelta Abajo crops are always bought up two or three years in advance of their plant ing. They yield only 35,O00 cigars an nually. These cigars sometimes sell as high as $150 a hundred-$1.50 apiece. Vuelta Abajo cigars are only smoked by kings and billionaires. There are many fake Vuelta Abajos on the mar ket, but the real thing, once smoked, can never be mistaken. for there is no other tobacco in the world with an aroma at once so powerful and so del icate."-New York Press.

Eat Less and Eat It Slowly.

Economic methods of eating are so important and so automatic that it really occasions some surprise that more is not known about the matter. Horace Fletcher. in his famous A B z books on nutrition, very wisely insists upon the necessity of slow masticatiOn with abundant insalivation. It is real Iy astonishing how badly people use the teeth nature gave them for this purpose Children naturally bolt their food. so it is said, and adults retain the habit Not having the digestive power of cats or dogs, which naturally bolt their food, it results that much of our food is undigested and wasted.

"AuId Robin Gray"

A ballad that won instant fame against the expectation and even the wish of it's author was "Auld Robin Gray" written by Lady Anne Lindsay about the end of the eighteenth century merely for her own satisfaction to re- place the coarse verses of an old melo- dy that pleased her. She sang charm ingly, and the new ballad soon came into favor. Great was the curiosity aroused as to the author of this pa thetic song, in whose simple verses all the elements of heartrending tragedy are contained, but Lady Anne, modest and retiring by nature, preserved si- lence for many years, smiling, no doubt, at the controversy that ragged so hotly. In the course of it her ballad was attributed by some disputants to David Rizzio, declared by others to be a genuine sixteenth century production and finally made the subject of q twenty guinea prize to be bestowed on anybody acute enough to bring to light the veritable authOr.-Cornhill Maga' zine.

A Texas correspondent tells Law
Notes. how an obstinate juryman was
circumyented by his fellow judges of
the facts. The offence charged was as
sault with intent to murder. After the
jury had been out about two hours
they returned the following verdict:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant
guilty OF aggravated assault, and as
sess his punishment at $25 fine, and
herewith pay the fine.v On inquiry as
to the meaning of the last clause of the
verdict, ii came out that eleven of the
jurors had agreed that the defendant
was not guilty, but the twelfth logged
. ~ hung out for conviction for aggra-
waited assault. and would not consent
10 a punishment less than fine of $25.
FiAu-ng it hopeless task to bring
over the obstinate one to their way of
thinking, the eleven finally decided to
agree with him, and Clipped in''
enough to pay the fine.

JOHN A. MCALL rs DEAD
Late President of the New York Life
Succumbs to the Effects of the
Great Expose.

New York, Feb. 19-John A. Nc
Call, until recently president of the
New York Life Insurance company,
died at 5:35 p. N. yesterday at the
Laurel House in Lakewood, n. j.,
where he had been taken three weeks
ago in the hope that the change might
benefit his health, which had suffered
a breakdown two months ago. Mccall
had been unconscious since about / a.
NJ, except possibly for one brief min
ute in the afternoon, when his eyes
opened and looked into the face Of his
wife who was bending over him. He
smiled, and as he did so his eyes closed
again and he remained in the coma un-
til the end.
His death is probably the result of
the nervous strain consequent upon the
insurance disclosures. One of his last
business transa ctiOns was to raise mon
ey and pay the amounts not definitely
accounted for by Andrew Hamilton to
the New York Life. He was So years
old.

WIFE BR NC 5 SUIT
FOR LARGE AMOUNT
Exc 'usive Society Circles in Milwau-
kee Are Stirred by the
LonStorf Case.

Milwaukee, Feb. 2O.--Sensational
features will mark the trial of the
Lonstorf case, which promises to be
the most sensational suit outside of
the Heyl will contest ever tried in
Milwaukee. In the first place, it is
charged that the annual income of the
LonStorf family is $1,00000O. Most Of
this. it is alleged, comes from the
royalties on iron mines held by the
family and the famous section 80 prop
erty in the Minnesota iron district is
only one of the Lonstorf properties.
The suit is against Mrs. Margaretta
LoHstorf and her children for $15O,OOO
and is brought by Emma Lonstorf,
wife of Otto. The plaintiff charges
that the defendants alienated the hus-
bands affections from Emma and that
as a result the PLAINTIFF is now in an
insane asylum, partially as a result OF
the inattention shown her.
