Primitive Methods and Implements
 Still Used In Farming.
 The tilling of the soil is done i'll the crudest way not only in Peru, but throughout the whole of South Amerl- ca. Outside of the wheat fields of the Argentine, the methods would not do credit to the Egyptians in the days of Rameses. In fact, the bull blow as 1t Is used in Peru today dates back to the kings of the first dynasty of Egypt.
 The blow, the Peruvian spade and the grub hoe. which latter is simply a crooked stick with an iron shoe. are the three implements of agriculture in Peru today. No implement is found to crush the hard Jumps of ground ill the plowed fields. This is done by the women and children with short club like a ball bat Corn is planted by using a sharp stick to make hole in the ground Then the kernel is drop ped in the hole and covered by push of the bare foot on the softened earth.
 Rain is not a necessity in these val leys. The natives have made admira- ble irrigating ditches that convey ar abundance of water to every portion of the cultivated fields. The water mOistens the roots of the corn from day to day. or turned into the ditches that follow the cane fields it becomes a potent factor in the luxuriant growth of the sugar cane. The best sugar cane in the world is grown in Peru. but 90 per cent of it is used. l am told, to make rum.-NatiOnal MaSa- Zine

In It's Center Is an Old Time Prison
 and Torture Chamber.
 Lucerne, in Switzerland. possesses what is probably the most curious
 bridge in the world as well as one of the greatest historic interest. This bridge known as the kapellbruecke.
 or 'Chapel bridge" crosses the River ReusS at its junction with Lake Lu cerne It was constructed so long ago as l333 and for nearly 600 years has formed the chief avenue of traffic across the broad but sluggish stream In other days the bridge extended its zigzag shape to nearly twice it's pres ent length and reached as far as the hOfkirche. or cathedral. whence its name.
 In the center of this covered wooden
 bridge stands the famous O"taGOIla
 ''waSSprthurm." or water tower. where in Olden times the municipal treasure
 was stored. For ages it Was also used as d prison. and among it's dungeons
 is torture chamber. But the most uuiuue feature of all consists of the series of curious pictures in the roof of the bridge There are sixty nine Ot these painted on triangular wooden panels fitted into the pitched roof of the bridge One after another they tell the salient facts of Swiss history or portray events in the life of the saints of the town.

An Odd Problem,

Can you place ten Jumps of sugar in three tpacupS so that there is an odd number of Jumps in each cup! A statiStician to }whom this problem was once propounded declared it was i'm possible to accomplish such feat. but the following explanation shows that it is not only possible. but very easy to accomplish: Put one lump ill one cup two Jumps in another cup and seven Jumps in the third cup. and then put the cup with one lump in tLe cup with the two Jumps. By placing the cup that holds one lump inside the one that holds two Jumps it can be correct ly stated that every cup contains an odd number of Jumps. for if cup con tailS another cup it also contains the contents of that second cup.

VENOMoUs WEAPONS.
1Ioweuns of the Mangeromas an
 Their Poisoned Arrows.

Blowquns of the Mangeromas and
 Their Poisoned Arrows.
 The mysterious poison with which some of the South American tribes smear the points of their arrows is thick sirup made by boiling together parts of the Strychnos toxifera vine and other plants and number of the Amazon region.
 Instead of a bow the Mangeromas use bIowgun, very ingenious weap on. It is made from tall, hollow reed that grows near the river banks, and at one end 1t has mouthpiece made from the hollowed half of the fruit of the Aracara palm. When the top of a tree. often 100 feet above him. he puts poisoned arrow in the tube and raises the mouthpiece to his lips With his left hand he finds the necessary elevation. fills his lungs with air and blows into the tube with no apparent exertion. The arrow flies out swiftly and silently. Almost as soon as the animal is struck it drops to the ground paralyZed.
 The flesh of the game is not injured by the poison. Like the venom of snakes, it is dangerous when introduc ed into the vascular system. but harm less when taken into the stomach. The action of the drug on birds cul- inmates in from three to four minutes: monkey died in five minutes and a three toed sloth expired in seven min utes A human being cannot survive more than fifteen minutes. The slight est scratch means inevitable death. Even the Indians know no antidOte.- St. Paul PiOneer-Press.

Professors in Germany are impor- tant personages and know it, but few probably ever reach the pinnacle of haughtiness attained by the one of whom this anecdote is narrated.
 He was one of the greatest men in the faculty at Heidelberg. One day the authorities of that city ordered that the street in front of the professors house should be paved.
 If you don't stop that nOise." re marked the professor to the payers, "l shall give up my position as member of the Heidelberg faculty"
 The payers stopped work at once. The municipal authorities sent around to inquire respectfully of the professor when they might pave the street.

The state treasurer has a notice in another column in regard to taxes on investments. All persons owning notes or bonds liable to taxation can obtain information from the state treasurer explaining the proper way to pay this tax. The payment of this state tax gives exemption from local taxes, but it must be paid before the date when the local tax is due. A bill is to be introduced before the next legislature which will tax property of estates at local rates, for all the time in which such tax had not been paid by its previous owner. Banks are also ready to give information in regard to the payment of this tax.
