Knife Ovsls In Mexico.

A duel between cattle herders on the
Mexican plains is about as savage and
deadly manner Of fighting as one
could possibly imagine. Each opponent
extends his left arm, and a third party
who has been selected TO act as ref
cree binds their wrists together with a
thong OF rawi,ide. He then places a
knife in the right hand Of each, and
the fight is on. Needless to say, it does
not last long. Every stab may be cal
cu'ated upon to do damage, and it often
happens that both dueiists receive "a
tai wounds. Yet, III spite Of the severe
rules Of the game, there are men who
become experts and terrorize a whole
neighborhood. They pride themselves
on being able to strike 50 quickly and
40 surely that they can kill an oppo-
nent with the first blow and get away

When the Hudson Bay Trading com
pany began its trading among the In
dams II WIS found that by selling the
Indians liquor they could more easily
be induced TO trade their peltries. The
first whisky or intoxicant Of inferior
quality Was distilled in England and
brought to America il large barrels,
but in Transporting it overland it was
found more convenient to divide it into
small kegs. The traders soon became
aware Of the fact that 10y diluting the
whisky with water more furs could
lie obtained. This was practiced for
some time, but the Indians learned
that good whisky poured on Ere
would cause it to flame W. whereas
had the whisky been diluted the fire
would he quenched. 1t was by this
simple experiment that the term FIRE
water" became a common word among
the Indians. A chief who had expert
enced the had effects OF whisky among
his people said it was most certainly
distilled from the hearts Of wildcats
and the tongues Of women from the e.
fects it produced-Ked Man.

IMPROVING THE MISSOURI.

After prolonged investigation. army
engineers have reported iayoraby on
the project to make a permanent six
foot channel in the Missouri river from
Kansas City to the mouth a, St. Louis,
and recommend tina, the work proceed
at the rate of S2,D1y 800 a year. The
engineers have looked into the matter
exhaustively and their repor, should
stand as decisive call to action. They
have found no serious engineering diff
culties in this section OF the river. The
Missouri has its peculiarities, but they
are not barrier to the deepening Of
the channel and holding the depth.
While the river grinds away its sandy
banks and carries much sediment. it is
in volume and natural nayigable length
one Of the greatest rivers 10 the world.
Work already done on limited stretch
proves that a permanent, depth can be
secured by simple engineering methods
at reasonable cost.

In the school year Of 1867, in the

at least one committeeman whose CON-

is shown by the annual report Of the

Of which is copied here:
'"The primary center school was in

presented the same phase Of unvarying
successful advancement as in former
years, from the dissonant mouthings

vernet In q Storm at Sea.

Vernet. the celebrated painter Of sea
pieces. eager in the study Of nature.
made several long voyages in bis
younger days in order to observe the
various scenes which the chanyeful
elements exhibit. In one Of these ex-
cursions undertaken merely for the
love u the art most violent gale of
wind arose, when Vernet. without at
tending to the perils with which he
was surrounded. desired one Of the
sailors to lash him fast to some Of the
rigging. Soon after this request was
granted the storm increased, attended
with thunder and lightning and with
every circumstance that could add tc
the horror Of the scene, and consterna-
ton and terror sat on every coun-
tenance, but in the young painter every
emotion was lost in that Of admiration.
which SO wholly eDgrossed his atten-
ton that he every now and then ex-
claimed in the most enthusiastic terms,

Raw Musk.

Musk in the raw looks 9 good deal
ike axle grease and smells worse. The
popular notion that the musk OF com
MERGE is obtained from the muskrat
is a mistake. There is obtained q
somewhat similar perfume from the
muskrat, but most Of the supply
comes from the musk deer, crea.
ture that is carefully reared in India
for the sake Of the secretion. The
secretion is shipped in the crude state
and Is used not only in the manufac'
ture Of the liquid perfume sold as
musk, but also in very small quaint
ties to give strength and staying pow
er to many perfumes made from the
essential oils of flowers. Curiously
enough, the blossoms of two native
plants have noticeably musky odor.
One Is the small yellow blossom Of a
creeping vine known as the musk
plant, Its odor is marked and is coun-
terfeited in the commercial perfume
called musk. The other is the blood
root The pure white blossom Of that
early spring plant has a distinct
though delicate musky odor A bean

An Ancient Die.

In the museum at Athens is shown
what is probably the only genuine
antique die used for coinage that IS
now extant It was found in Egypt In
1904 and consists Of bronze, engraved
with the owl that was stamped on
Athenian tetradrachma pieces, which
contained about as much silver as
three quarter dollars. The die is Of
scientific interest on account of the
evidence it gives Of the skill Of the
ancients three or four hundred years
before Christ in metallurgy. 1t con-
tains about 221a per cent Of tin and
nearly 20 per cent Of copper. 1t IS
extremely hard. but at the same time
possesses certain malleability, due to
the great purity Of the copper and
tin. which were carefully freed from
all traces Of lead and zinc to preserve
the hardness and from arsenic and
antimony to avoid brittleness.-Har-

The Suicide Of Hannibal.

Defeated at Zama, Hannibal fed to
the east to avoid falling into the hands
Of the Romans and found temporary
security In the dominions Of Mithri-
dates. He incsted this monarch to en-
gage in a Roman war, and, his advice
as to Its conduct being rejected, the
war proved unsuccessful, and Mithri-
dates was required as one of the con-
ditions Of peace to deliver up Hannibal
to his enemies, the Romans. The I'M
fortunate Carthaginian heard of his
approaching fate, swallowed the poison
which for years he had carried about
his person and expired just as the en-
voys arrived to take him in charge.
