The hunger cure was at one time a
very popular punishment in Siberia,
but the latest punishment invented is
the eating of sailed behring's. This is
regarded as especially useful in the
case of prisoners who refuse to dis
close secrets or to betray their accom-
plices.
Those who have experienced it say
that the continued eating of very salt
behring's is the worst form Of torture
imaginable; thumbscrews and iron col
lars are mild inconvenience compared
to It, The victim Is shut up in well
heated small cell and nothing is given
him to eat but sailed behring's, no wa
ter and not even any bread.
The thirst thus induced causes the
most maddening agonieS, and it is al
most invariably found that when the
prisoner is brought before the examin-
ing commission he is ready to give all
the information required Of him. The
sight of the first drink Of water that is
given to him generally brings on an at
tack of giddiness and fever, and for a
short time he feels as if his mind were
giving way. -. .- . - 49, ..

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

When you are all done but finishing
you are just half done.
If you have time to boast about be-
ing worked to death, you have not
much to do.
Some people are so unfortunate that
their troubles make people laugh in
stead Of cry.
A man who underestimate himself
may be tiresome, but he is not cir
cumstance to the man who brags.
People may disdain a compliment
but they feel a tender little spot in
them where 1t hit and refused to be
dislodged.
1t is a theory growing in conviction
that the man who says a mean thing
about another isn't as mean as the man
who carries it.
The man who travels over the pain
behind you wisely looks at your foot
prints and sees where you could have
avoided many a pitfall. - Atchison

Forgery by photograph is a new
crime discovered in Hungary. The son
of a wealthy peasant proved an oral
will Of his father by testimony Of serY-
ants who heard a voice from the dying
parents bed saying, II leave all my
property to my eldest son, Alois, and
my other children are to get nothing"
Such a statement is valid in Hungary.
Subsequently, however, the police We're
informed that the voice the servants
heard was not that Of his father, but
that Alois had spoken the words into
a phonograph. He had placed the in
strument under his fathers bed, and
when the old man had lost conscious
ness called the servants in and set it
going. The police searched the house
and found the phOnOgraph record as
described. Alois is now to be charged
with fraud.

Tiny Trees.

The midget Of the whole tree family
is the Greenland birch. 1t is a perfect
tree in every sense Of that term and
lives its allotted number Of years from
rs to $50 just as other species Of the
great birch family do, although Its
height under the most favorable condi-
tons seldom exceeds ten inches. Whole
bluffs Of the east and southeast coast
Of Greenland are covered with thick

woody plant, and in many places
where the soil is uncommonly poor and
frozen from eight to ten months year
O "forest" Of these trees will flourish
for half a century without growing to

SERIES OF SHIPWRECKS.
The Most singular Chain of Marine
Accidents on Record.

The Most singular Ohhih oi !"or"o
Accidents on Record.
The most singular series OF ship
wrecks on record began with the loss
of the English merchantmen Mermaid,
which was driven on the rocks Of Tor
res strait in October, 1929. The officers
and crew clung to the shattered vessel,
which was held fast upon sunken
ledge. until. a few minutes before the
doomed ship went to pieces, a passing
frigate picked them up.
The Swiftsure, as the latter craft
was called. resumed her northward
course. to be foundered in terrihc
gale three days later.
Her combined crews were saved by
the warship Governor Ready, en- voy-
age to India. May IS, 1880. The last
named. overtaken by storm, was
stranded on barren coast, her three
crews to Il man succeeding in reach
ing the shore
After staying a week on the inhos-
pitable island they were taken Of by
the revenue cutter Comet, which a few
DAYS later sprang a leak and sank IN
spite Of all efforts to save her.
Fortunately a rescue ship was again
on hand. the four crews being saved
by the Jupiter
Even then, however, the chain of dis
asters was not broken, for the Jupiter

Ing. Her crews barely escaped with
their lives. to be picked up by boat
sent TO their aid.
Thus the crew Of the Mermaid was
wrecked five times in one voyage, that
of the Swiftsure four times, Of the
Governor Ready three times and the
Comet twice.
The rescues had been purely acciden
tai in every case, none Of the ships
having been sailing as a consort OF
even to the same port.
Though the weather had been tenn
pestuous and the escapes barely made
not a life had been lost.

PIANO EXPERIMENTS.
Playing by Sweeping the Strings
With n Feather.

Open wide your piano so that the
wires are exposed. Over the wires
place sheets of music, and when you
strike a tone you will find that 1t mas
q rafting sound. If now you play
tune In the same manner, with the
sheets of music still lying on the
strings, 1t will sound as If the instru-
ment were banjo Anyhow, 1t Is a
good imitation.
Now remove the music sheets and
press down gently, but firmly, the
KEYS belonging TO any cord. Take the
simple cord c, e. G, Ssr example.
The keys must be pressed down With
out sounding them and held down
while some one gently brushes tho
strings with a feather or straw. The
effect will be as If the cord were play
ed far away and Is heard by you as
very soft tones.
Change the cord, always pressing
down the keys without sounding them,
while the feather still sweeps the
strings lightly. In this way you may
modulatc or play slow piece, and the
effect will be very beautiful, indeed, as
If heard from a great distance.
The reason Of this is that ordinarily
damper rests against each string
but when the corresponding key Is
struck or pressed down the damper IS
raised. In sweeping the strings with
the feather lightly, only the strings
that are undampered sound, the others
being held mute by the hampers, but
If the touch of the feather Is too heavy
even the other strings may sound, so
vour care must be IN making light
and delicate touch.
Now press down a key gently and
hold 1t. Strike very hard the octave
above this key, but do not hold 1t after
striking the tone. When the wire OF
the tone struck has been sufficiently
dampered. so that 1t does not sound so
loud. the pressed down key will be
heard to "sing" clearly even though
II was not struck. This is because
every note struck is composed of sew
eral notes. being in reality a cord II
Itself. and each note contained in that
cord causes the corresponding note IN
the keyboard to vibrate, or sing" IN
sympathy if held down In like man
ner.
The other notes that will sound under
these conditions will always be th'
fifth above the octave, the second oc
tave and the third and fifth above that
and these tones that sound are called
"overtones."
For illustration, If c in the lowel
part Of the piano be struck, any or al
Of the notes that follow will sound l.

THE BLUEFISH BRIGADE.
C-hat Happens When the Blues m"iNo

= Charge Upon Menhaden.
when menhaden or herring are
driven upon the beach by bluefish, as
they often are. so that they can be
carried off by the cart load sald

among them one of their pursuers, and

IN some way. The blue6sh follows to
the very verge Of the water, but there
if stops. and It is so powerful and
abort swimmer that, close as 1t is, II
still easily keeps clear of the land.
The menhadcn or herring are no mean
swimmers They could come as close
and keep off the shore as easily as the
bluefish do, but not when the Dluehsh
are after them. Then they are like
men pursued to the edge Of preci-
pice. 1t is almost certain death 10

and take the chances Of breaking
through the pursuing line.
"When the bluefish-there may be

there is nothing for them to do but

Drecipice would be to the man. They
must take it or they must turn and try
to fight their way through. Many DO
turn and try to swim under or over
or around the savage bluefish, and
some escape in this way. and some are
snaDped I'D. and some are manned and
then cast ashore, and many of them'
crowding together, are so closely press

A scotch rest.

Auchtermuchty is the happy town
which every Scot, proud Of his unpro-
nounceable tongue, uses as a shibbo-
leth to test the linguistic skill Of the
southron. If you cannot say "Auchter-
muchty" you are still an uneducated
barbarian. The meaning Of the word
happens to be as mOnstrous as its
sound. 1.-THE high ground Of the wild
SOW" is not a name one would choose
for a garden city. People, however, are
found to flock to it as a summer re-
sort, and as it has lovers pool, the
town has probably attractions more
real than its name. In the early part
Of last century Auchtermuchty went
bankrupt and was deprived Of all Its
property except the Jail and one or two
other assets of an equally necessary
character. 1t is now rich, peaceful and
radical.

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that inhict
more torture than rheumatism and
there probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot of rem
edies have been suggested. To say
that it can be cured is, therefore, a
bold statement to make, but Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an eX-
tensive sale, has met with great sue
cess in the treatment of this disease
One application of Pain Balm will re.
lieve the pain, and hundreds of suf-

cures by its use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords such quick relief
and costs but a trife? For sale by
