A Valuable Tooth.

There is an amusing story of the

had lost one of her front teeth. In

Convicts For Food.

There are many stories Of cannibal-

incident OF one Of the earliest attempts
to coloni2e Buenos Aires is almost
more horrible. 1t is told by Mr.. A.
Stuart Pennington In "The Argentine
Republic" The Indians had attacked
and all but destroyed the settlement,
which was under the orders of "a cruel
and soullcss tyrant," Francisco Ruiz
Galan. "'The difficulty Of finding food
was such that even vermin failed, and
the bodies Of the dead in the colony
were eaten by the survivors,. re Is re-
corded that any excuse was taken by
the hard hearted governor to condemn
men to death so that their bodies
might serve as food.n

New Britain Currency.

Dewarra, q currency Of New Britain,
is an instance of how the spells Of the
chase may be turned to account as the
outward and visible sign of wealth.
Dewarra is made by stringing the
shells of dog whelk upon the ribs Of
palm leaves. These strings may be re-
tailed mt so much a fathom-- usually
the price Is equivalent to about rs
cents fathom lengthor they may
be made into various articles of per
sonal adornment to be worn on great
occasions, In New Britain the dewarra

at his funeral and divided among his
heirs In much the same kind of way
as personal property is divided among

Queen Victoria's reign the tax was
taken off. and bricks may now be
legally made of any size whatever.
