eternal record Of all the stories in
which it has played part. 1t is
strange what sad things may be hid

token of their existence. The heart
may be gay and may send the smile
mantling to the face, but all the while
you see only the topmost stratum. If
the graves beneath were to give up
their dead the smiles would seem
strangely out Of place. 1t is just like

OUR FIRST MUSTANGS.

Country by the Spaniards.

The first horses of the western plains
were probably brought there by the
Spaniards. In 1545, almost fifty years
before jamestown was settled. Coro-
nado, the Spanish captain%was roam
ing about the plains of New Mexico,
and he tells Of the dogs used by the
Indians to haul their plunder on lodge
poles, indicating that they had no
horses at that date.
In 1T16 the Spanish again worked
their way eastward across the plains,
and their letters tell Of the astonish-
ment of the Indians at seeing the
horses they had with them. The ex-
pedition was constantly losing horses.
and there is little doubt that the first
droyes Of western horses originated
from these strays.
In the early days upon the plains
they were great pest to travellers

Heads In New Guinea That Look Like

"One of the most Interesting things
that came under my observation was
the odd manner in which the people
wore their hair" said a physician. de-
scribing visit to New Guinea and the
leading traits and characteristics of the
inhabitants, known as Papuans. "One
type wore the hair standing UP from
the head at a length Of seven inches or
more. 1t was trimmed with wonderful
regularity and with mathematical ac-
curacy. The hair was creased with
cocoanut oil and painted red. At q
distance it looked like a rising sun"
Another type Of the inhabitants who
wear their hair in an unusual fashion
was described.
"Starting from the forehead" he said,
"the hair is brushed back over the
scalp and hangs down to the waist. 1t
is a perfect mass, an intricate jungle.
I am sure it was never combed, and it
was impossible to run the fingers
through 1t. At distance 1t looks like
a cap with the visor turned downward.

this visit. The hair was gathered at
the front and back. then brought to-

A STRIKE IN OLD EGYPT.
There Was Trouble In the Building
Trade In Fharaot's Day.

Trade In Fharaoh's Day.
Egyptian history discloses the details
of labor difficulty at Thebes in the
year 400 B. c. The strike was in the
building trades, and the strikers were
masons. They were paid in rations,
and they claimed that these were in
sufficient to sustain them and their
families until the following pay day.
On the 10th of the month they laid
down their tools and gathered behind
a chapel. 1--WE are hungry" they said,
"and there are eighteen days before
the next pay day. They charged the
paymasters with dishonesty, saying
that they gave false measure. The
paymasters charged the men with
want Of foresight in feasting too well
while the rations lasted.
After long discussion the men decid-
ed to return to work on condition that
Pharaoh himself investigate the mat
ter. Two days later Pharaoh came to
the temple and decided that the ma
sons should have their wages raised
at once. For little while all went
well, but evidently the paymasters did
not live up to their agreement, for on
the 9Th Of the next month the strike
was again in full force, and for three
whole days not tool was lifted.
The strikers decided to go out to the
public with their troubles, but they
found themselves locked in the temple
Then they broke out and rushed into
the streets, frightening pedestrians as
they paraded the thoroughfares.

Esriv Methods of Curjnu Skins,

The original process Of curing skins
was probably the simple one OF clean
ing and drying them. Removal Of the
hair by maceration in water seems to
have been common among the very
early tribes, and one writer has sug-
gested that the idea was obtained from
the natural process Of depilation. They
must certainly have been familiar with
it In the case of drowned animals,
where maceration can be plainly OBJ
served. Following this smoke, sour
milk, oil and the brains of the animals
themselves were found eff1cacious.
Many of these primitive methods are
employed in remote places at the pres
ent time.

Rifle Shooting.


Rifle Shooting.
"a bullseye is a bullseye" is an ex.
preston frequently used in connection
with rifle shooting, but those unfa-
miliar with military rifle practice as
at present conducted have little con-
ception Of what is meant by bullseye
on the regulation targets. The ranges
at which shooting now takes place are
200, 300, 500, GOO, 800, 900 and 1000
yards For these ranges three targets
are employed.
The first is target A, which is used
at 200 and 800 yards. 1t is six feet
tall and four feet in width, with a
bullseye in the center eight inches in
diameter. This is surrounded by a
circle twenty-siX inches in diameter.
Another circle is forty-six inches in
diameter. The bullseye counts S, q
shot in the inner circle 4, in the outer
circle 8 and ON the remainder of the
target 2.
The B target, which is used at 500
and GOO yards, is six feet square. 1t
has a twenty inch bullseye, and the
first circle is thirty-seven inches and
the second circle fifty-three inches in
diameter. The value of the spots is
the same as on the A target.
The G target is used at 300, 900 and
1000 yards. This is rectangular In
shape, being six feet high and twelve
feet long. 1t is divided into three sec.
tions by vertical lines three feet from
each end. In the center is thirty-six
inch bullseye surrounded by fifty
four inch circle. A shot in the bulls
eye counts 5, between the bullseye and
the rim Of the circle 4, anywhere out
side of the circle, but within the SIX
foot square, 8, and at either end Of the
target, but outside Of the square, the
shot counts points. - Philadelphia

SORTING PEARLS.
Tho Gems Vary Greatly In Size, Shape
and Quality.

and Quality.
When the pearls are taken from the
dead fish they arc first sorted accord
ing to size. This is done by passing
them through a set OF ten small brass
sieves, called baskets, with meshes of
varying sizes. Pearls Of the first class
that are perfect both in sphcricity and
In luster are called AMI. Those of the
second class, that to the average OBJ
server seem equally without flaw, are
anitari, and most Of the pearls we see
in the west and on general sale come
under this head. or the third class,
called masauku. are those that are
somewhat Irregular in shape and a
trife off in color but that are valuable
for use in clusters and are largely
used by eastern artiiicerS In mountings
Of various sorts. Rural is the double
or twinned pearl. which, when of good
luster and sufficiently freakish shape,
Is sometimes enormously valuable. In
this class the most wonderful speci-
men on record is the great Southern
Cross pearl, which is in reality nine
pearls naturally grown together and
forming a perfect cross an inch and a
half long. 1t was found off the coast
Of Western Australia in 1874. Many
seed pearls and reflections, called va
divu, are generally ground into chu-
nam and used as an ingredient in a
favorite sweetmeat From China also
comes heavy demand for seed pearls
and in India bushels of them literally
are used in the decoration of idols and
sacred images and of weapons as well.

China's Floating Homes and Their

Stand beside the imperial custom

down the river toward Hongkong. As
far as the sight can reach lie boats,
boats, and again boats. These are no
ordinary craft, mere vessels Of trans
port plying hither and thither. but the
countless homes Of myriad Chinese, in
which millions have been born, lived
and died. They are the dwellings Of
the very poor, who live in them practi-
cally free from rent, taxes and other
burdens of the ordinary citizen.
The Tankia (Which means boat dwell
ers), as the deniZens of these floating
houses are called, form sort of caste
apart from the rest of the Cantonese.
The shore dwellers regard them as be-
longing to n lower social order, and in
deed they have many customs peculiar
to themselves which mark them as a
separate community. How the swarm
ing masses of them contrive TO support
existence is mystery. but their chief
mode of employment Is in carrying
merchandise and passengers from place
