Many abandoned Because New

Not as much as we used to. but
occasionally even yet, one hears or
some wonder accomplished by the
ancients which cannot be done now.
Not so many years ago 1t was quite
commonly asserted that modern
workmen could not quarry or, hav-
Ing quarried, could not handle
stones as large as the mOnoliths or
Egypt. and the writer has heard a
public speaker OF note assert that 1t
would be impossible to handle with
modern implements such large
stones as were used in the pyramids,
or to join them as perfectly as they
are Joined there; yet, when occasion
arose, larger stones than any of
these were quarried in Maine, and
some of the larger monoliths them
selves were transported, not only to
the sea, but across II, and erected In
England. France and America, and
there are individuals to-day who
might. If they chose, cause the
transportation to and erection in this
country OF the largest pyramids, or
build new ones ten times larger and
more durable Pyramids are not
being generally built, nowadays, be-
eaase they are not in line with che
trend of modern ambition that's all.

A SOUTH AMERICAN INNOCENT.

South Americans who live In New

jokes on these innocents

arrived in New York who was NOR
bidly afraid Of being mistaken for a

He set cut from the Motel In fault

along as If every street had been ia

urchin looked at him and cried;
"Shine!"
"Caramba!" he muttered. Aren't
these New Workers clever!
He walked along showing his face

his life depended upon 1t,
,"Shine." shouted another boy on
the next corner.

American.
And, well-nigh burying his feat

QUEER ANCIENT CUSTOMS.
Touching a Suicides Hand Was
Thought a Cure for Sickness.


In former times 1t was a common
notion that, If sick person, could
only touch the hand of suicide. he
or she would be cured
This superstition was especially
~mmon In the west OF England. in
hCornwall, touching a suicides hand
was said to have once cured young
man who had been afflicted with
many tumors from his birth. A
similar superstition regarding the
touch OF executed criminals bias been
idely prevalent and has often beef
recorded.
Robert Hunt, In his "Romanees OF
the West o. England" says that he
once saw young woman led TO the
scarold at Newgate to have wen
touched by the hand of a man who
had just been executed.
At NORTHAMPTON of old the hang.
man Is said to have had regulat
fee for according a similar priv
ID ge' to the sufferers from like dis
orders. Even the coffin of suicide
may have curative value
There Is a Devonshire belief to
the effect that, ii any one suffering
from disease can manage to throw
white handkerchief on such a coffin
at the time OF its interment. the
disease will vanish as the handker-
chief decays. .-tts $50 t.s
Much superstitious value has been
attached to the knots of the ropes
used either by a suicide or in the
execution of a criminal.

Hearts That beat After death.

Hearts OF eold-blooded animals
will beat for a comparatively long
period after death or removal from
the body iii kept cool and moist
because Of powerful internal collee-
lion of nerves, known as ganglia,
whose automatic impulses cause the
regular eontractions of the muscles.
Similar ganglia exist In man and
other warm-blooded animals, but
their action is less prolonged. A
turtles heart, after removal. has
been known to beat thirty-six, or
even forty-eight hours. Twelve or
fourteen hours is a common record.

SKUNK SKIN AND SKUNK OIL.
Yields Profitable Annual Revenue
In the State OF Maine,


Fashion In furs regulates the
price of skunk skins, Three years
ago the coat of dark skunk was
worth from $3.50 to So and there
: We're not enough TO supply the de-
mand Since then the muskrat has
OF profitable skin, and only the
very choicest of skunk pelts sell for
So this season.
But when there are from ten to a
dozen fat skunks to be had on every
acre OF meadow land. when hard
wood club Is the only weapon re-
CURED In the killing, and when every
fat skunk, regardless OF It's color.
holds more than a quar- OF oil, which
~ worth So d gallon wholesale, there
are always men who will chase
skunks for the money there is in the
business.
From 100000 to 10000 skunks
are slain in Maine every year. The
practice OF killing the black ones
and leaving those OF d lighter color
to perpetuate the race has reduced
the income received from the turs to
small figure and has practically
eXterminated the dark sknnks, but
the demand for skunk oil is steadily
growing and the price has gone up
81 a gallon since last year.
The oil Is used by residents of
Maine. who esteem it highly for It's
virtues in curing rheumatism and
stiff joints. and the druggists send
many gallons out OF the State to be
sold in Boston and New York. It is
probable that nearly $4,000 gallons
of skunk oil is produced in Maine
every year.
Most OF that used locally Is pure.
bat some of the oil sent out Of the
State Is adulterated with fat OBJ
tanned from hens and woodchucks.
As the impure oil seems to effect as
many cures as the genuine article.
the men who work the imposition on
the public stand small chance OF de-
lection.
Most of the skunk pelts taken In
Maine are sent to Philadelphia,
where they are tanned, dipped IN a
black dye and made up into furs for
export to France and Germany, in
which countries they pass as mon
key skins.
The Killing of skunks lasts for
about Il month. by which time all the
fat ones that contain oil have denhed
for the winter. 1t is estimated that
the Maine skunks yield an annual
revenue of from $l25,000 to $780,
600. which is double the sum made
from all the honey bees liz the State,
