The Kind Smoked BY Tribe Of South
American Indians.

The Kind Smoked by Tribe Of South
American Indians.
Cigars foot and a half long, which
are made for one days smoking, are
shown in the American Museum of
Natural History. With them is hold
er which looks like tuning fork and
is large enough to be used for pitch
ing hay.
Far up the Rio Nigra, tributary Of
the Amazon. two explorers made col
lection Of articles for the museum.
The Indians there made cigars eight
cen inches long and as big around as
a child's arm. One Of these cigars is
too much for any ease loving man to
clasp, so the Indians put the fragrant
roll between the tines of fork two
and half feet long, stick the sharp
end Of the handle into the ground at
convenient distance from theireham-
mocks and take a puff from time to
time as they sway lazily backward
and forward.
There are many other picturesque
articles in the collection, which was
made during three months journey
from the coast The material is of the
highest value. and nothing like 1t has
been seen except a few articles in a
German museum.-New York Herald.

THE MUSSULMANS.
They Are Not Easily Disturbed While
Saying Their PRAYERS.

They Are Not Easily Disturbed While
Saying Their Prayers.
When saying his prayers the true
Mussulman is not easily disturbed.
Hans Doering. in his account OF his
travels in Chinese Turkestan, writes:
1T is an interesting sight to see a
Mussulman perform his devotions.
Through the piece of glass in my pa
per window saw the interpreter
spread his carpet in front of his house
just opposite the one in which was
living. His wife and child sat quite
close to him talking loudly with some
visitors, but this did not in the least
disturb the old man at his devotions.
''In spite of the noise the melodious
chanting of the Koran was quite au-
dible. The worshiper kotowed several
times and cried Allah. Allah, Allahg
then for awhile stood reverentially
clasping his hands crosswise upon his
breast, after which he joined in the
conversation.
"His wife then went through the
same performance. doing exactly the
same as her husband. This they do
every morning and evening whether
there are friends with them or not"

A MARRIAGE FICTION.
The Old Time Motion That Matches
Are Made In Heaven.

The Old Time Motion That Matches
Are Made In Heaven.
The polite fiction obtains that mar
riages are made in heaven. This ro-
mantle viewpoint Is particularly popu-
lar in America, where it is held to be
highly improper for parents to make
any move toward securing good hus-
bands for their daughters and immod.
est for girls to manifest any interest
in the subject themselves.
The conventional theory is that the
matter is on the knees of the gods and
that in due season husbands will be
provided like mamma in the wilderness
for sustenance of the faithful. Unfor-
tunately this miracle does not always
come off for every woman. The supply
of mamma gives out. There are not
enough husbands to go around, and
these are uneyenly divided. Some wo.
men get three or four, while others get
none. But neither the old maids nor
their parents realize that the reason
that they did not share In the dispen-
sation was their own fault, because
they did not put themselves, as old
fashioned Methodists used to say, In
an attitude to receive the blessing

The One Sided Humor OF snain

The Spanish peasant is the most pol
ished gentleman In the world, but the
provincial dandy is not pleasant per-
son. He does not limit himself to adj
miring one (which might be endured.
He laughs at one. Since the foreign
city hat is different from the Spanish
town hat, the Spanish town hat laughs
and points its finger. Even a lady hat
will do this. 1t never occurs to the
Spanish provincial headgear that it is
very funny, too-that is, because a
Spaniard is under 1t. and therefore 1t
must be right. Yet If the foreign city
hat laughed the resentment would be
deep.-Louise Closer Hale in Harper's.

The RATTLER.
It Rarely Sounds Its Note Of Warning
Until Attacked.

Onttl AttaCkG0s
Contrary to the general belief, the
RATHER rarely gives its characteristic
note of warning until actually attack
ed In fact. the sharp. vibrant ring of
its terminal appendage is probably de-
signed more to assist this very slug
gish serpent TO obtain-its food than to
sound defiance or warning. In the
first place. serpents possess but the
most rudimentary traces of auditory
apparatus and are practically deaf, the
deficiency in the sense of hearing be-
ing compensated for by an extreme
sensitiveness of feeling which makes
them aware of the approach of moving
objects by the vibration of the ground.
Hunters, treading cautiously upon a
soft carpet of moss or le'yes to avoid
alarming game, will often step close
to or over a RATHER without disturbing
it or receiving warming and while
many snakes are seen and killed by
them it is probable that a far greater
number are passed by unnoticed. All
snakes are timid and would rather run
than fight. and the RATHER is not inyit-
ing certain destruction by advertising
its whereabouts in the brush.-Francis
Metcalfe in Outing Magazine.
