Curious Custom of the Natives of tho
iSongo Country.

Curious Custom of the Natives of tho
i<ongo Country.
Among the curious objects in the
home of the Royal Geographical So
ciety at Kensington Gore, in London,
is a fetish that was captured in 1855
from river pirates on the Kongo riv-
er. 1t is &. wooden figure with mica
eyes that glisten unpleasantly in the
dark. A number OF heavy nails have
been driven into it's body.
According to Mr.. T. A. Joyce of the
British museum, the practice of driv-
poses One is simply to get favor
granted. In that case the worshiper
on paying the fetish man a fee is per-
mitted to drive nail into the figure
while uttering his petition. The 9TH
or purpose is to injure an enemy. In
that case the applicant pays q heavy
fee and drives his nail into the figure
in the belief that his enemy will fall
i'll and die.
A man who falls i'll goes at once to
the fetish man and makes Inquiries,
and If he finds that an enemy has
driven a nail into the idol with him
In mind he bribes the fetish man
heavily to remove 1t. That. he thinks,
insures his getting well.
The principle underlying the prac-
tice is quite different from that un-
derlying the old practice of making a
wax Image of an enemy and driving
pins into 1t. The wax figure repre-
eented the victim, who In some oc-
cult way felt in his own person the
abuse lavished on his efIigy. The nail
driven into the wooden figure. on
the contrary, is to remind the god to
perform the wishes OF the petitioner.
1t is, AZ II were, to tie q string round
his finger.-Youtb's Companion.

Imprisonment For Debt.

About the middle of the last cen
tury the power of imprisoning debt
or for life was taken from the creditor,
and it fills one with amazement to
think that system so ridiculous
should have continued as long AS 1t
did. The three principal debtors pris-
ons in England were the Kings Bench,
the Marshalsea and the Borough
Compter. IN the year 1859 there were
10000 prisoners for debt in Great Brit
ain and Ireland. The futility Of the
system was quite as great as its bar
barity. More than half the prisoners
in some of the prisons were kept there
solely because they could not pay the
attorneys costs. Many prisoners had
their wives and children with them.

By Masked Men We're Two
Young Girls
One Of The Girls tainted,
While Men Make Their
Escape

Waylaid by masked man near
the Walker saw mill on West Gam
bier street Saturday night, Olive and
Mary Bumpus, daughters of John F.
Bumpus, 603 West Gambler street,
were so frightened that the younger,
Mary, tainted later, and both had to
be taken home in the police patrol.
On first encountering the man, who
stepped out from a pile of lumber, the
girls were ordered to drop what they
had in their hands and remain still.
In spite of the fact that a gun gleam-
ed in the masked mans hand, the
girls reversed their position and has
tened back to the residence of May
Meyers.
At the Meyers residence, they were
instructed to proceed over to Vine
street and walk home that way. They
had no sooner crossed over and start
ed down Vine street than the same
man appeared and shouted the same
orders to them.
This time the girls ran over to High
street and started up towards the
public square when the younger,
Mary, tainted. officer Robert McEl-
roy was summoned, the police patrol
was called and the girls were remov-
ed in safety to their home.
The girls know of nobody who
bears any i'll feeling towards them,
and they are of the opinion that the
masked man was either mistaken in
their identity or else was waiting for
anybody who might pass. On neither
Gambler nor Vine streets did the
man attempt pursuit when the girls
ran. The girls are 13 and 10 years of
age, respectively. Police are investi-
eating.

MOTHER FINDS SON
AFTER LONG SEARCH
Father Stole Him, Then Was
Adopted From Home.

Webster City, Ia.-Stolen from his
ago, later placed in children's home
In Des Moines and adopted by fam
lily at Lehigh. David Brundage now
finds himself the heir to an estate, all
because his mother during all these
thirty years has never once ceased her
search for him.
Brundage is now thirty-twO years Of
age and makes his home In Lehigh
with his foster parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Brundage. Mrs. @. Thompson of
Randall, WASH, Is the mother in the
case, and letter just received from
her by the Brundage family states that
she located her son only recently. The
mother pleads with the foster parents
to tell her something of her son and his
whereabouts, whether he is dead or
alive and if he is happy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brundage adopted the
baby In 1887. He was healthy
youngster and grew up with the other
Brundage children. Many people In
aud about Lehigh did not even know
he was an adopted child. Every atten-
ton was lavished upon him. While
young Brundage is anxious to learn all
he can of his mother and other blood
relatives, yet he signifies his intention
to remain with his affectionate foster
parents.
A. IL, Watkins, Randall (Wash) at.
torney, finally located the boy for his
mother, and letter to him conveys
the information that an estate is held
I'm trust for young Brundage. AS yet
however, the Brundage family has not
been apprised of the amount. 1t is like
ly that Brundage will make visit tc
his mother.

LIFE OF A PEARL.
A Good Jewel Never Gets Sick Nos

In his book, '"The Magic of Jewels
and Charms,' George II. Kunz, the
Jewel expert, eXpodes the sick pearl
falacy. lie says:
For years statement has been go
ing through the press that pearls are
liable TO become diseased and die and
that the famous necklace of pearls pre-
sented by President Thiers of France
to his wife and bequeathed by Mime,
Thiers TO the French government had
lost their uster and died, perhaps ow-
Ing to the death of the owner For
there is an old belief that pearls, as
well ns opals and turquoises, lose some
of their luster when the owner or
weareT becomes III and change to a
dull and ifeless hue when the owner
dies.
IAN examination of the necklace by
the writer showed that the pearls were
In good condition, and to confirm his
statement to this effect he had the di
rector of the Louvre museum write
him a letter In this official communt
cation the director not only states that
the pearls had not slckened and died,
but that they We're in as healthy n
condition as they had ever been.
"The lnvariable experience of the
writer has been that whenever pearls
have been said TO have suffered In this
way the true explanation has been that
they were old and poor at the time OF
their purchase and that this romance
was started on its travels as an excuse
to cover up the defect of such pearls
and TO arouse the belief that they had
