Benjamin Colder, lumberman of
North Mountain had a thrilling ride
down the mountain side on log.
The log started at the top of the slide
and carried him with it. He managed
to get astride and feared to jump off
because of the danger of getting crush
ed The slide inclines about eighty de-
grees. and the log sped downward at
frightful speed The branches of the
trees WHIPPED Colder with such force
that his clothes were torn to shreds.
Near the bottom a big branch swept
him from the log like a feather. He
was picked up unconscious and badly
bruised. but will recover-Wilkesb barre

MAORI sAvAGERY.
The Women Slaughtered the Victims
For the CannibaI Feasts.

Mrs. Z. NJ. Dunlop of Auckland New
Zealand. writes OF the Maori women:
The Maori woman can keep at will.
She has practiced the art, which has
formed an important part of her train
ing. She weeps SO genuinely and so
copiousiy as to melt the heart of a
sympathiZing witness. The Maoris
hold .tnagis.' or weeping parties, TO
mourn their dead, and in these gather
ings the women play a conspicuous
part. While weeping they utter low.
Tnournful cry, which has a very weird
effect when produced by a number of
voices. The mourners sit in groups,
with their heads partially covered, Civ
ing forth their monotonous wailing and
shedding copious tears.
THE Maori woman of past ages al
most excelled her lord in savagery. On
the return of a triumphant war party
they usually brought home number
of prisoners and slaves. 1t was the
privilege of the women of the tribe to
fall upon these, slaughtering them i'll
preparation for the cannibal feast
which followed. The women bore the
painful ceremony of the tattoo without
shrinking. Spiral marks We're cut into
the flesh of their chins, lips and faces;
a SCOT made by a peculiar method was
rubbed into the wounds, causing an in
deIible blue-black stain.
The Maors even in their former
state, treated their women with GER
tain amount of consideration, although
the lot of the female slave was very
hard and often ended in her being
served up as dainty dish to appease
the appetite of her voracious lord, who
would kick away the baskets of yege-
table food presented to him by his
wives as a signal that he required the
tender flesh of slave girl"

Snake Myths.

Snakes have no medicinal qualities.
and the following popular notions are
myths: That gals of snakes are an
antidote for snake bites; that their oil
is good for rheumatism, badness and
deafness; that wearing their skins will
cure rheumatism or stiffness; that a
snake heart, oil or blood is good for
consumption or other ills; that snake
flesh should be eaten for blood disor
ders; that second bite of the snake
In the same place will cure or counter
act the first bite; that rattlers of snakes
are charms.

the Diltzes and the table was set with
the best ware that Mrs. Diltz's china
closet afforded. The guest was par
ticularly interested in the display and
admired it greatly. Picking up the
plate in front of him and noting the
stamp of the manufacturer on the bot
tom of it, he remarked:

the art of making it, was discovered by

THE SIX HUNDRED.
Incidents of That Mad Ride to Death
at Balakava.

at 6dlakiasa.
OF that mad but heroic charge a hun
dred incidents are preserved-thrilling
humorous, shocking. The Cornhill
Magazine tells of a man of the Seven
teenth lancers who was heard to shout,
just as they raced in upon the guns,
a quotation from Shakespeare, "Who
is there here would ask more men from
England?'
The regimental butcher of the Seven
teenth lancers was engaged in killing
sheep when he heard the trumpets
sound for the charge. He leaped on
horse. In shirt sleeves, with bare arms
and pipe in mouth, he rode through the
whole charge, slew, it is said, six men
with his own hand, and came back
again, pipe still in mouth.
A private of the Eleventh was under
arrest for drunkenness when the charge
began, but broke out, followed his
troop on a spare horse, picked up
sword as he rode and shared in the
rapture and perils of the charge. The
charge lasted twenty minutes, and was
ever before such daring or such suffer
ing packed into space SO brief? The
squadrons rode into the fight number
ing 673 horsemen, but their mounted
strength when the fight was over was
exactly 195.
It was all a blunder, but it evoked
heroism which made the blunder itself
magnificent. And as long as brave
deeds can thrill the imagination of
men the story will be remembered of
how
Stormed at with shot and shell.
Boldly they rode and well
Into the jaws of death,
Into the mouth of hell
Noble six hundred!
