Ambitious Man,

Man becomes almost amphibious in
certain regions. Temperature permit
ting, he swims as we'll, dives better,
than many animals - better, for in
stance, than any dogs. The Greek
sponge fishers and the Arabic divers
must have sight almost as keen below
water as that of the sea otter. They
have even learned by practice to con-
troll the consumption of the air supply
In their lungs. The usual time for a
hippopotamus to remain below water
Is five minutes. The pearl fisher can
remain below two and half minutes.
In tank a diver has remained under
water for four minutes. But tempera-
ture marks the limits Of mans amphib-
ious habits.-London Spectator.

A Curious Church.

The most singular church In the
world Is probably st. Johns, at Davos
Platz, in Switzerland. Davos Platz is
over 5000 feet above sea level and Is
famous as a winter resort for con-
sumptives on account of its great pu-
rity Of air and protection from high
winds. st. Johns church Is a very
small building, but nevertheless it has
two steeples. One Of these is much
larger than the other, towering high
above the church and presenting a
most singular appearance, being twist
ed after the manner Of corkscrew.
The steeples contain some fine chimes,
which in ancient times were used to
sound the alarm when there was a
threatened invasion Of wild animals.

: e THE SKULL BANJO.
Probably the Most Grewsome Musical
instrument Known.

It is we'll known fact that through
dire necessity the American Indian has
developed remarkable skill. The old
stories Of how these Indians made
pottery and earthenware by the aid Of
only the most crude instruments and
of their methods of burning and carv-
ing out the insides of the trunks Of
trees to make canoes are universally
known.
But even with all their skill the fact
that they were barbarous, uncivilized
race cannot be evaded, as is shown by
this grewsome instrument In the time
Of the early settlers Of this hemisphere
their acts of cruelty We're without prec-
edent in the history of the world.
With these facts in view we can
easily understand how the skull ban
jo' came to light. 1t is known that in
the small country of Paraguay, in the
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 camp
and there cruelty murdered, and 1t
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
off. Over the opening thus made a
piece Of skin taken from the body and
also thoroughly dried is tightly stretch
ed in the manner of a drum. From the
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 skull
to the rib which connects the two fe-
murs number of strings are tightly
stretched. These strings are likewise
made from the skin of the victim, hav-
ing been thoroughly dried, stretched
and rubbed with rosin.
But this even is not the full extent
Of the grewsomeness of this instru-
ment, for the skull is left so that the
jaws are movable. Therefore with
each shake of the instrument the jaws
wag, and with sharp jolt Of the in
strument the teeth come together with
a snap.-New York Herald.

Some Clever Animals and Wonderful
New England Nag.
In his letters to Lord Granville, pub
lished by the Royal Philosophical So
ciety, who was also greatly interested
in natural history, Smithson, the
founder Of the Smithsonian institution
In America, says London Tft-Bits, re-
lates how the horse of Alexander the
Great, Bucephalus, would at night on
hearing a blast of the trumpet from
the soldiers on guard, showing the ap-
proach Of the enemy, run at great
speed to his masters tent and with bis
teeth grab the sleeping monarch and
shake him until he sprang into the sad
die and galloped toward the enemy.
Also that the great Ca1fph Haroun-
al-Raschid in the eighth century In
marching toward the forces Of Queen
Irene Of Constantinople always had
a number of trained Arabian horses
direct descendants Of the famous
horses owned by 1shmad 1000 years
ago) thrown forward as scouts, which
from time to time returned to camp
and by peculiar whfnny and neigh
reported the proximity Of the enemy.
Again, he relates the experiences OF
the Portuguese explorer, Albuquerque
who lived for many years in the six.
teenth century on the island Of st
Helena, where he and the natives
taught the herds Of wild horses there
not only to dig potatoes, but to hush
corn, and these horses descended from
a herd taken there from Cappadocia
in the second century, as related By
the Greek historian, Philfstorgius.
But, to come down to the present
day, it is related By q retired New
England clergyman whose sands Of
life had nearly run out that one day on
leading his horse down through lane
to a brook for q drink the animal sud
denly halted and, turning its head
around, grabbed up with its teeth ON
Of its hind s'loes which bad Just drop
ped off, ana, holding It tn it's moutf
with the nails dangling. It backed W
against a stone wall and clapped 1t OF
to its hoof and with few violen'
kicks nailed it on again.

Ak IN TREASON TRIALS.
Sharp Edge Turned Toward Prisoner
When Sentence Is Pronounced.

Sharp Edge Turned Toward Prisoner
When Sentence Is Pronounced.
Every one is aware of the dreadfully
significant part the executioner's ak
plays in trial for high treason. The
sharp symbol of death is carried be-
fore the prisoner, with its blunt side
turned toward him so long as he has
not been sentenced, says Macmillan's
Magazine. and just before sentence is
pronounced the sharp edge Is turned
his way.
Evelyn, who was present at the trial
Of Lord Stafford in 1859. tells us that
the ak was turned edgeways to the un-
fortunate nObleman so soon as it was
ascertained that the voting Of the
peers went against him. an effective
but CHASTITY piece Of stage management
which must have had sickening fas-
cination for the unhappy and probably
innocent man. In those days. now
happily gone by, no one seems to have
reflected on the unnecessary cruelty Of
narrowing the feelings of men about to
die by such shocking judicial byplay.

Yet, Notwithstanding his contempt
for this horrid symbol, the undaunted
old man cheerfully suffered death for
his attachment to another symbol, the
white cockade. But Lord KilmarnocH,
in the next coach, was dreadfully
frightened, as he showed himself to be,
by his thorough realization Of what
the awful ak would mean to him. He
inquired minutely into all the details
of an execution, wanted the governor
Of the Tower to tell him whether bis

A GOOD SADDLE.
Except In the South and West, Most
Riders Take What Is Offered.

kIderS axe What Is Onereo.
A we'll known horseman in speaking
of the sport of riding in the United
States recently said:
although there are a number OF
men, except in the west and south,
seem to know or care much about the
saddle-that is, the way it Is built.
They simply take what their dealer
gives them. In England it is usual for
riders to have their saddles made to
order, and they generally know what
to order too.
"a good saddle fits both the horse
and the man. 1t should be roomy ev-
erywhere and especially SO in the pam
els If you are heavy. The throat should
not be so narrow as to cause pain or
50 wide as to wabble. Plain flaps are
most comfortable and businesslike. A
felt pad or at least good saddlecloth
should always be used, and to give a
trim appearance it should be cut to the
outlines Of the saddle. 1t should be
frequently washed and summed. Stir
rups should be open. wide and heavy,
so that the feet can be readily freed in
case Of spill.
"a proper fitting saddle will stick
with very loose girths, and you can
find where it fits by walking the horse
around, few minutes before mounting
with the girths unbuckled. The horse
will shift the saddle to the exact place
where it is most comfortable. When
through with your ride, remove the
saddle at once and bathe the back with
cold water, following this, If possible,
with an alcohol shampoo" oo."-Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
