Tho Disciple Trees.

In Shirley. Mass, generation or
two ago, one Mr.. Holden set out some
trees alongside the highway. This
was a good deed in itself, but scarce
" noteworthy except for the manner
in which he did 1t. He was religious
man. and it occurred to him to per-
netuate the memory of the crime Of
Judas in this modern day and gener-
alton by establishing lasting remind
or and warning to all men. Accord
fngly, he set trees for the IL disciples,
placing II fourishing young naples
in a row and at the end pine. These
trees have grown up and are today
known as the disciple Trees"
There is tradition that Judas
hanged himself to poplar. since
which time the leaves have been con-
stantly quaking, but perhaps Mr..
Holden had not heard the old legend.
At any rate, his idea has failed its
purpose to recall the religious sig
ntficance, for his trees are monu-
ment to himself now. And pine as
well as maple, they all furnish CRATE
full shade over the old country road
to Shirley.

HOW TO: KEEP. ENEMIES
THE ART As PRAc1lcED BY ANA
ION INDIANS.
Heads Of Enemies Are Embalmed,
Profusely Decorated and Then Used
for Purposes of Adornment-
Grisly Souvenirs Sold.

An Italian traveller reports from the
interior of Brazil the discovery of an
chronological collection of much value
The chief object of interest is an
embalmed lead of the tribe Of the
Mwndwrwows-a trophy of war.
1t is to this day a custom of the In
dams of the upper basin of the ANA
zon to take the heads of enemies for
the purpose of embalming, adjoining,
and preserving them.
The head in question is very ornate,
being crnamented with long streamers
of bright feathers attached to the hair,
while the eye sockets are filled, in de-
fault of glass, with the teeth of a
large semi-aquatic rodent native to
the region.
From the mouth depend number
Of heavy cords. These, however, are
not meant for heautilers. They are
merely intended to keep the lips quite
rigid and motionless, with the canny
object of defeating any desire OF the
late departed spirit to utter curses
and revilings in the abode of his con-
queror.
It has long been known that the
South American Indians possess secret
and jealousy guarded processes OF
embalming. Among certain tribes OF
Ecuador human heads are so mummi-
fed that they are reduced to the size
Of mans fist, without the features or
the expression being noticeably al
tered.
Tie hair retains its length and
character, but the skin and bones
shrink without losing their relative po-
sition and symmetry.
FIFTEEN years ago it was possible to
get these little mummifled heads In
the interior, and even at Quito, where
colporteurs offered them frequently to
tourists at the doors Of the hotels.
Il bought a pair Of them for hun
dred francs or So" writes v. Forbin
in La Nature.
1t is now, however, impossible to
obtain them, and all on account Of the
sudden development of commercial
acumen on the part Of the simple saw
age.
Business, indeed, became 50 very
brisk as the prices on these objets de
vertu advanced that the government
became uneasy in regard to the mat
ter. Investigations were set on foot
by tie police and by the missionaries
which resulted in shocking discov-
cry. The fact is that the demand
having outrun the supply, the cupidity
of the Indians of the eastern province
was % stimulated that, having no
prisoners of war, they were arranging
ambu%cades for each other, merely to
obtain heads to embalm for the mar
ket.
TIE archbishop Of Quito promptly
communicated the enterprising mer-
chantA who dealt in these grisly SOU
venirs. and the authorities forbade
theix sale under heavy penalties,

to le;s profitable employment and
