TELL OF HUMAN SACRIFICE
Significance of Pair of Thongs, in New
York Museum, Will Be APP
parent to All.

The curator of anthropology at the
American Museum of Natural History,
New York, values among recent acqui-
sitions in the Pawnee Indian collec-
ton pair Of thongs which are, SO
far as known, the only existing relics
of the Pawnees' tribal rite of max
ing a human sacrifice to the Morning
Star, god of war. Curiously enough,
the Pawnee god Of war star is believed
to have been the planet Mars.
When life grew dull it devolved
upon the Pawnee priests to relieve the
tedium of the tepees by dreaming that
old Morning Star demanded a sacri-
fee: Then the bloods went on the
warpath until they captured maiden
of hostile tribe. After due ceremony
she was bound by thongs to scat
fold, her feet pointing right at old
Morning Star himself. When the
brave bucks, who rather prided them
selves on their sharpshooting, had
stuck her so full of arrows that she
looked like hedgehog, and when her
heart had been cut out the party was
over.

The PalIas, Cochrane's first really
adequate ship, did not achieve so
many near-impossibilities as the little
Speedy; but her return to Plymouth
after her first cruise was marked by a
uniquely brilliant touch. She had
taken rich prizes. Among the booty
were some wonderful great golden
candlesticks from Mexico. They were
of superb size and workmanship, and
designed for ecclesiastical use; but
Cochrane found them equally adapted
to enhance a naval triumph. When,
at sound Of the signal gun, the inhabi-
tants of Plymouth f1ocked to the
wharves, to behold the Pallas sweep
nobly to her anchorage, they were
dazzled and amazed to see her tall
masts aglitter in the sunshine as if
tipped with living flame. To each
mast was proudly affixed a five-foot
golden candlestick!-You Compan-

FATE TRICKS ROYALTY ALSO
Two Pathetic Old Ex-Queens still live
to See Europe Torn by Most
Ruthless War.

There are two women, once of worlo
prominence, who within the memory OF
those now living have experienced un
usual extremes of fortune Their lives
have touched the heights of power and
tragedy. One is Carlotta, daughter OF
Leopold Of Belgium and wife of that
Macmillan, archduke of Austria and
emperor of Mexico, who faced a firing
squad at Queretaro in 1867; the other
is Eugene, on whose head Napoleon
III placed the crown of France, once
worn by Marie Antoinette, and who,
more fortunate than that unhappy
queen, escaped a French mob and sur
Vived the downfall of an empire. The
misfortunes of both were spanned in
less than half a dozen years. Carlotta
has been insane for 49 years, With
some slight chance at this late day
1t is said, Of recovering her reason;
Eugene, ninety-years old, the 5th Of
next month, still lives in exile, bent,
worn old woman, leaning upon crutches
and clad in perpetual mourning-she
who was once queen of beauty and
ruler of fashion, setting it's modes in
accordance with her whims.
Those who believe in present retri
buttons may see in Eugenie's long
years of bereavement fate's requitaI
for the cowardice and cruelty of Ma
pOleon the Little, who left Macmillan
to his fate, denied Carlotta's pleas and
requested her to leave France. His
own fall came soon. The Franco-Prus
sian war, which France ascribed to
Eugenie's influence-tbat her only son
the Prince Imperial, might more Sc
curely hold the crown-left him q
prisoner after Sedan. He died, broh.
en- hearted and in exile, in 1878; the
Prince Imperial, who, according to ru
NOR, joined the British forces in South
Africa because Of his mothers opposi.
ton to his love for girl he wished to
marry was brought home pierced with
Zulu assegais. That loss was greater
than that of husband or empire to the
ex-empress; for weeks she did not
speak.
After her great bereavement Eu.

in England, and has since lived at
Marlborough, where she busies herself
among the poor. Last winter an Eng

GALLANT SEA CAPTAIN
BRITISH NAVY PROUD OF WORK
OF LIEUTENANT CocHRANE.
His Exploits With Small Ship, Poorly
Armed, Are cIassed With the
Most Brilliant Annals of War
fare on the Ocean.

A recent writer, Mr. ]. J. Edgar, has
retold the almost incredible exploits
of the Speedy, the first command Of
young Lieutenant Cochrane, after
wards Admiral Lord Dundonald, in
ventor, fighter and strategist. The
little vessel was absurdly small and
ill-equipped; an over-manned and un-
derarmed craft of 158 tons, carrying
ninety men and fourteen four-pound-
ers Nevertheless, she soon became
30 troublesome to the enemy that a
Spanish frigate was especially dis
patched to hunt her down. But young
Cochrane, foreseeing trouble, had pur
posely shipped a Danish quartermas-
Ter; and instead of avoiding his formi-
dable foe, he dressed the Dane in his
own uniform, disguised the Speedy,
with the aid Of paint and canvas, as a
Danish brig, and ran up the quaran-
tine flag. A few questions were asked,
to which an Enthusiastically genuine
Dane, apparently the captain, replied;
and the hoodwinked enemy continued
peacefully Ou ueI COuI5S.
Some months later, however, they
met again, and an encounter could not
be avoided. The action that followed
was unique in naval history. The
Speedy made no effort to escape. In
stead, she boldly attacked. She had
at the time only ffty-four men, and
her scant crew and fourteen four
Founders were opposed to the thirty
two heavy guns and 319 men of her
six hundred-ton opponent, the frigate
Ell Gamo. Coming swiftly to close
quarters, she ran in under the fri
gates broadside, which hurtled harm
Iessly above her, while every shot
from her own guns told A moment
later the vessels touched, and Coch-
rane, at the head of his crew, actually
boarded and carried the frigate, which
struck her flag after the first rush.
Between these two exploits the
Speedy visited Valetta, and Cochrane
enjoyed little adventure ashore. A
fancy-dress subscription ball was be-
ing given, under the patronage Of
some French Royalist officers, and
this he attended, selecting for his Co.'S
tume the ordinary dress of a British
common sailor. A Frenchman, mis-
taking him for a genuine jack-tar of
dubious sobriety who was intruding
among his betters, ordered him out.
He refused to go. The Frenchman
coIlared him; he knocked the French
man down, and the next day they
fought a duel on the sands. Coch-
rane received a ball through the trous-
ers and the Frenchman one through
the leg, after which they parted gayly
with expressions of mutual esteem.
The Speedy's career ended at last
in capture; but although she surren-
dered to one vessel, the French bat
tIeship Dessaix, she had been gallant
1y fighting against several at once.
The chivalrous French captain de-
clined to accept Cochrane's sword,
saying he could not deprive of his
sword an officer who had so many
hours struggled against impossibili-
ties"

EDINBURGH WORTH A VISIT
Time of Traveller Can Be Well Spent
in an Inspection of the Scot
tish Capital.

There is generally an east wind
blowing in Edinburgh, whipping the
fog about, or else it is raining. Other
wise the climate is very attractive
When clear day does come, you ap-
preciate it. 1t is very calm and clear
and bracing. You climb a hill-Edin.
burgh carries an assorted stock Of hills
and you look down on a city that is
picturesque in the fullest and broadest
application of that overworked poly.
syllable Edinburgh is easily the most
picturesque capital in Europe.
The castle keeps you from looking
at anything else for the first fifteen or
twenty minutes. It stands in the mid.
die of things, Gaping hill that shoots
up almost straight from the level. You
cannot see where the hill leaves off
and the castle begins; it seems to have
grown from the living rock beneath it.
They tell you that the castle has never
been taken by assault, though it has
been perched there for thousand
years or so. You are not surprised at
the statement, but you indulge in a
little mild speculation as to the par.
ticular form of foolishness that led
anybody to assault it.
After a while you look away from
the castle and size up the city at large.
Miles of gray mansions spiked with
towers and spires stretch before you,
backed and cut off in all directions
by hills just rough and rocky enough
to be decorative. Hundreds of little
blue pennons Of smoke arise from the
chimneys. They do not consume
their own smoke in Edinburgh; the
Scots have nicknamed the capital
Aud Reekie."
Edinburgh is running over with his
toricaI association and the tradition
of greatness. Here the national life
Of Scotland has centered ever since
she had enc. All her warriors, all her
patriots, all her men Of sciences and
her poets have left their mark on the
capital AS a result, Edinburgh has a
personality as clear cut and individual
as that Of some great actress. She is
as Scotch as Robert Burns. If you
like the reticence, the mixture of SEN
timent and resolution that make the
Scottish temperament, you will find
Edinburgh a never-ending delight.

First Footpaths in 1852.

The student Of old London, motto
ing the whitened curbs in the streets
today, is inevitably reminded that the
institution of the footway is really
of quite recent date. 1t was not, in
deed, until after the Westminster paw
ing act of 1852 that footways became
at all general. Before that time man
and beast took the same road. Many
of the old iron posts, which are still
to be seen in Regent street and else
where, showing the crown and the
monogram of the Georges, indicate the
corners of these first footwaYs-

College Gets Precious Memento.

Allegheny college, at Meadville, Pa,
has received from Doctor Haskins of
Boston the die which was used in the
original seal of the college nearly 100
years ago. Doctor Haskins discovered
the die among the records of his ia
ther, who was professor in the col
lege from 1874 to 1886. This die was
probably. made in Boston in 1922 or
1923. 1t was in constant use until the
early sixties, when it disappeared.

Pencils Made Sterile. :

School physicians have recently de-
cided that school lead pencils may do
deadly work as disseminators of dis
ease germs. The lead pencils for an
entire room are usually in charge of
the teacher and are distributed when
they are needed for class work. Chill
dren habitually moisten the pencils in
their mouths, a practice more unsani-
tary than the use of the old fashioned
slate cleaned with saliva. 1t is now
proposed to have the pencils fumi-
gated daily with formaldehyde gas,
and a small fumigator has been de-
signed for that purpose. The fumi'
gator is the size of one burner gas
hot plate. The top will hold so pen
cils. They are set in place and the
fumigating gas turned on for Is min
utes, which renders them absolutely
sterile.
