AMONG INDIANS OF LOUISIANA.
Tribes Cling to Primitive Customs Of
Their Ancestors.

The blowgun Is still popular for hunt
ing birds among the Koasati Indians
of Louisiana. This weapon consists
of a tube, usually of cane, about six
feet long, rubbed smooth on the inside
with an implement made for the pur.
pose, and carefully Strengthened with
the aid of fire. Slender-pointed darts
about eight inches long are used as
ammunition, each one wrapped neatly
along a third of its length with thistle
down or cotton to make 1t fit the in
side of the tube. The hunter places
a dart in the tube, which he raises
to his lips and aims at his game; then
a quick puff Of the breath drives the
little dart flying with sufficient force
to impale and kill a small bird or
squirrel

among the Koasati-the weaving Of

spun with simple contrivance. The

woven into blankets. In former years
the Indians wove large moss blankets
for bedding and rugs: but at the pres

Origin Of George Eliot"-Why Mrs.
Harrison Chose Lucas Malet."

Miss Gregg. who is known as sgd

masculine or feminine designation.
"Grier" is a Shetland name, and at
that time she was much interested In
those far away isles. &C. was insert
ed to make the name look natural

Mrs. Harrison's reason for conceal
ment as Lucas Malet" was that she
did not think 1t right to trade on
the Kingsley name" lest she should
do 1t discredit She therefore chose
the ''surnames of her grandmother
and great-grandmother, both women or
remarkable intelligence and character.

Chavelita Golding- Brieht, also springs

been unlucky, and 1t was quickly
dropped for that of "Egerton," the
baptismal name of her second hus-
band. Under the distinctive combi-

published nine works since 1893.

In the recently published biography
Of Col. Fred Burnaby there Is a char
acteristic story told by his friend,
Lord Binning, of that soldier of Her
calean frame and reckless courage:
We were engaged In a football match
on the green inside Windsor cavalry
barracks, and the verandas were
crowded with onlookers as the colonel,
dressed for London in frock coat and
tall hat, with a cigar in his mouth,
came out of the officers quarters and
proceeded slowly across corner OF
the ground, apparently oblivious OF
the fact that a match was in progress
at the time At this moment our full
back, a gigantic Yorkshireman, named
Bates. who must have weighed near
er Is than IL stone, charging impetu-
ously for the ball, dashed full into
Burnaby. The impact was terrific,
but while the Tyke, hurled backward
! by the shock, as though he had col
lded with a mountain, lay gaspine
on the ground. neither Burnaby's hal
not the angle of his cigar was In the
smallest degree disturbed--a fact he
scarcely seemed to realize that col
lision had taken place. When he die
50 he removed his cigar from hii
mouth, and with his pleasant smile
said: Dear me, hope | am not in
terfering with the game" The shou
of delight which went up from thu
verandas was thing to remember.

Not Calves. But Calves.

That butcher shops are the places
for startling revelations of various
sorts was illustrated the other day
when a passerby, glancing in at the
window of one of them, saw two sur
prising exhibits One was a tray con-
tanning brains; the other was very
fine liver On the first was placed a
placard neatly lettered by hand; on
the second was another: One read:
Calves brains;" the other Calves
liver" There was no spacing between
the last two letters of the first word In
either case. and the possessive mark
was over the letter "e.'
But the shock soon passed when the
butcher assured the passerby he had
no desire TO convey the impression
that the famous French singer had
been dissected.

It covered my whole body. I
was almost solid mass of sores from
head to foot. looked more like a
piece of raw beef than a human be-

seemed more than could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen I
was afraid they would break off.
Every hair in my head fell out I
could not sit down. for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding

pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but / got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. l did not think

come and end my frightful sufferings.

lief I experienced after applying Cuti-

The Shakespeare club of New Or

performances that we're distinguished
for the local prominence of the actors.
Once a social celebrity, with gor-
geous costume, as one of the lords in
waiting had only four words to say;
The queen has swooned." AS he
stepped forward his friends applauded
vcciferously. Bowling his thanks, he
faced the king and said, in a high
pitched voice: THE swoon has
queened.'
There was roar of laughter; but
he waited patiently, and made an
other attempt:
"The sween has cooned."
Again the walls trembled and the
stage manager said in a voice which
could be heard all over the house:
Come off, you doggoned fool"
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in rasping fall
setto, as he was assisted off the stage,
he screamed: THE coon has

From Robert Haven Schaufier's
article ITO Happiness by Trolley, in
Success Magazine:
ut was the same story with the
small storekeepers," he continued
aThey thought Judgment day had
struck 'em along with the interurban.
And, at first, their trade did fall off
considerable. But bit by BIZ they saw
peoples wants increasing. SO village
trade picked up. And then the city
folks began swarming out of town
and building homes along the trolley
line. They were awful glad to get
into the country, and grew loyal to
their new homes and traded with the
local stores The upshot is that the
trolley has helped all village trades
men except the clothiers.
He went forward to drive the car
while the motorman ate his luncheon.
"Let me tell you" he went on, re-
joining me in twenty minutes, we're
doing more for the farmer than just
to increase his wants; we're putting
money in his pocket. Wherever an
interurban line has gone it has, for
one thing, raised land values from
twenty-five to one hundred per cent.
1t has brought the farmer in touch
with the briskness and system of
modern commerce, and taught him
to use business methods in his farm
ing. It's given him wider choice of
markets. And he can get his. milk,
eggs, fruit and vegetables to town
fresher. He receives his market quo
tations by Rural Free Delivery and
phone, and takes quicker advantage
of high prices by means of us.

Professor Serviss, in this article,
gives data which can probably be
found nowhere else in lay publica-
tons. The returns of Halley's comet,
he says, have recently been traced
back to the year 24O B. c., but it has
probably been revolving in its ellipti-
cal orbit very much longer than that.
Halley's discovery, after its appear
ance in 1882, that il was a regular
visitor to the neighborhood of the
sun has always ranked as one of the
capital triumphs of astronomy. His
suspicion that the comet of 1852 was
not paying its first visit to the sun
was based upon the similarity be-
tween its orbit in space and the orbits
of two other comets, which had APP
peared in 1907 and 1881, respective
ly Gle did not guess its identity
with the comets of 1456 and 1066).
II the three were Identical, then the
same comet ought to return again af-
ter another interval of about seventy
six years, Accordingly, HALEY ven
tured the prediction that the comet
would be back again in 1858. He
died In 1742, seventeen years before
the tulfllment Of his prophecy.
