One amusing feature about the op-
position TO the constitution on uhe
part OF the pie counter press Is the
similarity OF editorials CD being pre-

THE NATIONAL DRINK BILL.

Though there is less drunkenness

amount spent by the people Of the

1906 the retail cost Of the alcoholic
stlmulants used was 81, $50. S55.44S.

growth of the use of the alcoholic

1t is well known fact that through

stories Of how these Indians made
pottery and earthenware by the aid of
only the most crude Instruments and
or their methods of burning ana cary
Ing out the inSides of the trunks of
trees TO make canoes are universally
known.
But even with all their skill the fact
mat they were barbarous, unclvilized

this grewsome instrument In the time
OF the early settlers OF this hemisphere
their acts OF cruelty were without prec-
edent In the history of the world.
With these facts in view we can
easily understand how the skull ban

east central part of South America.
the Indians who inhabited that place
were more than ordinarily cruel. They
were constantly engaged in warfare.
and their primary aim when thus en-
gagged was to capture the chief of the
opposing side. When captured, this
parsonage was carried to their camn
and there cruelty murdered, and it
was from his body that this awe inspir-
Ing musical instrument was made.
The instrument is made as follows:
The body is decapitated, and the skull
Is then thoroughly dried. The one who
is to perform the feat Of making the
instrument then cuts the top entirely
OF. Over the opening thus made
piece of skin taken from the body and
also thoroughly dried is tightly stretch

back OF the skull the two femurs or the
two bones of the leg which extend
from the knee to the hip project. These
bones have been so trimmed that they
are of uniform thickness throughout
their entire length. The upper ends Of
these bones are joined together with
one OF the ribs, also taken from that
body.
Then from the forehead of the sI,ull
TO the rib which connects the two To-
murs a number of strings are tightly
stretched. These strings are likewise
made from the skin of the victim. bay-
