at one of the schools that she would like

made much of a boast OF book learning
but he keeps a good assortment of paper
and pencils and ink and all such in his
store, and sells 'em reasonable. and it
sort O makes him a patron of educa-

John Willett, he's a free-handed man as
ever was. and he hauls a good mess q
wood for 'em fall and winter, and never
charges Il cent for teaming, and puts the
price on the wood low, too. ] guess
there isn't anybody much better suited
for the school board than John. He's
elected unanimous every time.
And there's jim Rawson. What
dyou say? UNI. Well, p'r'aps he isn't
as bright as some, but | tell you, he
keeps that schoolhouse in fust-rate re-

Opie Read in Arkansas.

Opie Read recently made a trip
through Arkansas on horseback. He
lost his way and rode up to where a
squatter was sitting, his fiddle by his

Up a Shot Tower.

''It was strange experience" said
the huntsman LAS l ascended the
spiral stairs of the tower / saw shot
falling. like rain, around me.
THE shot tower was 200 feet high.
At it's base there was tank of water
for the shot to drop into If it fell on
the earth. you know, it would be fat
instead of round.
ION top of the tower was huge
boiler filled with molten lead. The man
ager ladled the lead into a percolator,
a kind of strainer, and thence it fell
into the cistern of cold water 200 feet
below 1t took it three seconds to fall.
.sThey made different sizes of shot on
the tower by using different percolators
big holes for big shot, small holes for
fine shot and SO on.
1.-THE water in the cistern had to be
changed every little while. 1t would
have become so hot, otherwise, that it
would have kept the shot soft. New

WITCHES ON ISLE OF PINES.
Agents of Bible Society Tell of Human
Sacrifice.

Sacrifice.
The agents in Cuba Of the American
Bible society in their annual report say
that in the last year the three colporteurs
on the island sold 1891 copies, making
total of $3.50 since 1900.
Our trip to the neighboring Isle of
Pines" says the report, showed us that
the island was ready for the Gospel, but
there are superstitions to destroy. One
of them is witchcraft. The inhuman
work of the witches has filed the land
with fear and horror. Bocourt, the
leading figure of the tragedy, is a vulgar,
ignorant negro, possessing, however, a
certain natural power of leadership
which has made him the head of a cult
of witchcraft with ramifcations through
out the provinces of Pinar del Rio and
Havana.
ASSOCIATED with him are many
witches, and they maintain over the
minds of the ignorant people of their own
race an ascendancy founded upon fear
and superstition. Their followers believe
blindly in their power and unhesitatingly
do their bidding, appealing to them not
only to cure diseases, but to ward off ills
from the family, and even to obtain ven
geance upon enemies. Among the ne
groes, those who disbelieve and condemn
the practices of the witches are power
less to influence their more superstitious
practitioners of witchcraft only at the
peril of their lives.
"BOcourt represented to negresS
called Adela that her dementia was the
result of harm done by the whites during
slavery times, and could be cured only
by the blood of a white child. Juana. an
other negress, was unable to raise a
child, she said, because of her being en-
chanted, and she could be cured only by
the blood and heart of white child.
"After holding weird incantations, the
refrain of which was
Queremos sangre, sangre de blanca para
curar Adea,
eve want blood, blood of white girl, to
cure Adela),
chanted in barbaric African rhythm, two
of the negroes were selected to secure a
child.
Molina. one of them, went to cut
palms on the Zufiga farm, adjoining
that on which live the three Diaz broth
ers, each of whom has young children
Having possessed himself of one Of
these, the little Zoila Diaz, he and the
other went to the latter's house and
there butchered the child, taking out her
heart and collecting her blood in glass
jar, after which the corpse was pre-
served, probably by first sailing and
then smoking. The blood and heart were
any perceptible effect on Adela, while it
is too early for Juana's faith in their
efficacy to be confirmed or shaken.
''The body was subsequently found in
a thcket equally distant from the houses
of the perpetrators. They are all in the
hands of the police, sentenced in the
criminal courts to be garrOted.'

Medical Certificates for Chauffeurs.

The question of improving the laws
and regulations relating to automobiles
is attracting considerable attention in
France, and q draft has been made Of
certain new regulations for legislative
consideration. In the licensing Of chauf
feurs it is proposed that each applicant
must possess Il medical certificate i'll
order to have men Of absolutely sound
health in charge of motor cars. 1t has
been found that in numerous instances
in France chauffeurs have been in poor
physical condition, either from overwork
or various bodily intirmities, and even Il
case was encountered where an epileptic
was in charge of an automobile. 1t is
now proposed that hereafter a physician
shall certify that each candidate for
chauffeur's license is sound, both mental
" and physically. With present high
speed touring cars and the necessity for
keeping the most careful lookout and
controlling the machine absolutely, the
problem becomes closely akin to the run
ming of a locomotive, and the move of
the French authorities would seem to be
a move in the right observation-disclosures

Heron Rookery in Michigan.

A notable resting place of the great
blue heron is ten miles west of Battle
Greek, on the north bank of the Kala-
maZOO river.
1t is notable for the reason that there
are now only few nesting places left Of
this handsome and majestic bird in this
state. and still more notable for the fact
that this is the only rookery not located
in inaccessible swamps. almost impossi-
BILE to penetrate, especially for women
bird students.
Herons always return to the same
nesting place. The ones at this rOokery
have returned annually for twenty years
past.
The nests are huge. rude affairs. built
of sticks and tWigS Of about the same
size, loosely placed together and forming

are laid.
They use the same nest every year.
simply adding more sticks. The eggs
number from three to four, are of Il
blush green color, a little larger than
hens eggs.
If possible sycamore trees are always
selected for nesting because the color of
the bark harmonizes perfectly with the
plumage of the bird and affords what
ornithologists term protective colora.

The herons during the nesting period
are of great benefit to the farmers, as
they destroy all the snakes and field mice
for miles around. When they are feeding
the young, the noise and commotion
made can be heard at great distance

which contains several meritorious
features. This hobby horse travels upon
wheels and can be guided in any direc-
ton as desired. The body of the horse,
on which the rider sits, is pivotally
mounted upon the legs, and the latter
again pivoted at the feet to the shafts
of the wheels. The action of the rider
in alternately throwing his weight back
and forth at opposite sides of the pivot
point in the center of the body of the
horse causes the wheels to revolve, i'm
parting movement to the hobbyhorse.
The horse is provided with a saddle and
stirrups, which are so disposed that the
rider can conveniently throw his weight
right forward or backward. The horse
is kept in motion by the alternate throw
ing of the weight of the rider back and
forth, this action rocking the body of
the horse and causing, through the legs
of the horse. the rotation of the crank
shafts attached to the wheels. Such a
hobbyhorse would be hailed with de-
light by the small boy not yet in his
Teens.

A Long Faced Cat.

About five weeks ago there came TO
the geological gardens a cat which was
unlike any other cat previously exhibited
by the society. This animal. which oc-
cupies cage in the small mammals
house, has now been named Felis Badia,
and it's home is believed to be in Borneo.
The color of it's short smooth fur is
hardly to be described as bay-it is gray
rather than brown, and the inclination to
chestnut is very slight indeed. The bay
cat. as we must call it, is a pretty crea
ure-short-legged and long-bodied. with
thick tapering tail of no great length.
For cat the shape of its head is re-
markable, and it has rather small ears.
Instead of the short, round face of the
typical cat. the face of this animal is
comparatively long. But in its move
ments this curious pussy is true to the
instincts of it's race. In the stealthy
tread. in the manner of opening the
mouth, stretching the limbs and pro-
truding the claws, to say nothing of the
method of carrying the tail. there is no
mistaking the cat This interesting in
mate of the zoo is fairly tame and APP
parently in the best of health.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

CAREFUL OF YOUR EXPRESSION.
Careless Habits Are Not Easily Broken
When Lnce Formed

Habits are not easily broken when
once formed. especially if the forming
has been unconscious. Or course, there
fore, there is an uncomfortable period
of self-consciousness while one is trying
to get rid of annoying little tricks of
manner or expression. But then, again.
habit helps US, and once the fault is
overcome the self-consciousness gradual
ly fades also.
An observing woman once remarked
that few people seemed to regard their
facial expression. Look along the rows
of faces in any public conveyance; see
the Fuckers and wrinkles of those who
carry their cares and worries with them;
see the loose lips and dropped jaw of
those who seem to have no mental proc
esses whatever. But this especial form
of careleSsness often bellies the brain be-
hind it, for some of the brightest chill
dren form this habit early in life, and it
is one that is difficult to overcome. Then
there are the silly smile of nervousness,
the grim or fretful expression of the
physically uncomfortable. and occasion
ally and worst of all, the look of con-
descension or scornful aloofness. How
rarely does one see serene intelligent
face, cheerful nOn-cOmmlttal expression
rveallng a wholesome personality, and
perhaps an intelligent use of the rest al
lowed to weary bodies at least during
the period of getting from one place to
another. Richard Grant White once said
that the frown and worried expression of
American women were due largely to the
prevalence of high winds in this coun-
try. And to judge by the faces of many
of our women. one might think that
there was never a calm day. Whatever
Liberties one takes, with an indulgent
family, one is careful how he sits and
stands in public. Why not take as much
thought of the expression as of the
posture ?-Harper's Bazaar.

The Manufacture OF Artificial Noses.

The city of Indore is modern and ugly
and uninteresting Apart from being the
prosperous capital of rich state, its
chief claim to notoriety rests upon its
hospital. which has won universal fame
by the manufacture of artificial noses.
That may seem a very limited industry
on which to build a name. But in In
dia there are several ways of promoting
this industry. When a woman comes to
the hospital CARRYING her nose i'll nap
kin you may fairly assume that her hus-
band suspects breach of the seventh
commandment. When a man appears
in the same plight you may set him
down as a usurer who has fallen into
the hands of his clients, and has had no
Portia to plead his cause. Indore is the
Mecca of these unfortunates.--Lond

A congregation in Illinois had decided
to erect a new church editice, and tenn
porary accommodations were obtained in
an abandoned theater. The clergyman,
with folded arms and pompous bearing,
directed the efforts of his sexton who
was busily engaged in cleaning up the
accumulated rubbish and pitching it into
the flames.

warned the preacher. Whatever may
be utilized, lay it aside, and l will dis
pose of it later"
A few moments later the clergyman
saw the sexton draw near the fire with a
massive easel-like arrangement.

Hazel Eyes Are Weakest.

Hazel eyes see worst" said the
oculist.
How do you know"
''This case of glass eyes tells me, for
one thing Look these glass eyes over.
Don't you see how hazel predominates

It was true. Among 100 glass eyes AZ
were hazel. and the rest. in little groups
of 10 or II, were blue, brown, gray and
black.
"There are you see, four times as
many hazel eyes as blue ones, brown
ones. black ones, and SO on said the

hazel eyes come to grief four times more
