Acid Test of Warrior.

Among the Mundurucus, a tribe of the upper Amazon, no youth is con- sidered to have attained the dignity of manhood until he has endured the "ordeal of the gloves" In that coun- try there is a kind of ant, as big as a wasp and quite as venomous; likewise another species, known as the fire ant" whose bite feels like red-hot needle piercing the flesh, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Two bamboo tubes are closed at one end and into each of them a number of these poi sonous ants are put. Then the tubes, called "gloves" by courtesy, are tied upon the arms of the young man whose fortitude is to be tested, and, wearing them, he goes about the vil- lage dancing and singing. If he shows the slightest sign of distress he is pro nounced a failure and becomes an ob- ject of derision to the girls; but, if he endures the agony without wincing. his promotion to the rank of warrior Is accomplished.

Song in the Bathroom.

Professor w. H. Bragg of the Royal institution, London, England, has enunciated . new theory as to the bathroom. "Why do so many people sing in the bathroomT asked the pro- lessor, and a juvenile audience broke out into laughter, remembering the impulse that seizes them to break out into song when they are having bath. The professor explained that the note is struck for them by the running wa ter. He also pointed out that. while the voice sounds resonantly in the bathroom, 1t is not half SO fine or in spiring when a song Is continued in the dressing room. The same author ity explained that the bubbles of steam formed at the bottom of boil ing kettle. nearest to the flame, tried to get to the top, and coming into con tact with water of lower tempera- ture fell back again with sounds like tiny hammer strokes on a hard sub stance.

Puina, a Fish, spIns Silk

The most costly of all kinds or SIX hosiery is made from silk which is not the product of the silkworms, but a species of shellfish called puina. The puina makes it's home in the warm waters of the Mediterranean around Sicily. It has an odd little tube at the end of its tongue. Out of this tube, spider fashion. or silkworm fash ion, 1t spins a silk thread with which 1t fastens itself to any rock to which it wishes to adhere. When the puina moves on to fresh feeding grounds it's silken cable is left behind. This cable,

LAND OF LONG C0URTSHIPS
In Country DIstrlets of Holland the Young Couple Think Nothing ef
 Waiting Three Yeara

There Is a story told in Holland that one evening In the catechumen's class an amorous youth was called upon to answer the. first question in the Heidelberg catechism: What is thine only comfort in life and death? To which the young man replied: ITO marry Geertie de Koning and to have a farm of my own" A curious feature in the evolution of Dutch courtship Is that 1t begins at church. Eyes meet eyes there. A visit is then paid by the young man to the home of the esteemed beauty. Papa" is ap- preached as to whether the visitor may speak. privately, to the daughter, and, if no objection is offered. both par ents are called in to ascertain the is- sue of the conference. If both parties are agreed to open courtship, it begins that night in coffeedrinking and so- cial enjoyment and then the court ship lasts for at least three years, dur ing which period of time the Dutch maiden will attend to the dairy work of the farm. baking. mendlng, and cooking. The young man will have amassed enough guilders to invest in farm, and then the clergyman is called in, and the neighbors revel for many days, celebrating the event in true. generous, hospitable fashion. Needless to say, this order of nuptial- tying does not apply to cities.

CertloraH.

Certiorari is law term, and is sell dom come upon outside of legal pro ceedings. The word is derived from the Latin certioro, to be certified. In law 1t means a writ from a superior to an inferior court directing a cer- tified record of its proceedings In designated case to be sent up for re- view. Where right of appeal from the decision of the inferior court exists. certiorari proceedings are unneces- sary, but where such right does not exist this is the procedure adopted to have the proceedings of the inferior court reviewed by superior court having common law Jurisdiction over the inferior court. Where good cause is shown, the superior court Issues writ of certiorari to the inferior court ordering that the record of the case in question be sent up in order that 1t may be reviewed and justice done to all concerned.

Police UnapprscIative of Art.

One of the best stories English the atrical men tell about Sir Henry IT. wing Is of an occasion when he was re- hearsing for Don Quixote at the Ly- ceum. The one great difficulty was to find Don Quixote's horse-suff1cient- ly quaint, starved and aged. His man. ager, Bram Stoker, at last announced that he had found one in the provinces -an animal whose ribs could be counted, whose bones stood out Ike hat pegs, and which had head like a camel. Tt is on Its way from Eu- ston now" said Bram StokeY, in an- swer to Irvings anxious inquiries. But the animal never arrived. Tho man and beast had got as far as Bow street when the police stopped them.
 The horse was ordered to be shot. and the man was sentenced to . months Imprisonment for cruelty to animals.

"Business" and Social Life.

Each business person has a self that assumes direction and control during office hours and should have quite a distinct and separate self for after business hours. The moment the lid of the office desk Is down he ought to change automatically into his "so- cial" self and let his business self have a complete rest until the lid of his desk is raised the next morning. In that way the self that must be 60 keenly alert, that must concentrate so surely during the day, can sleep for eighteen hours out of every twenty four.
 The person who has mastered the secret of thus alternating his mental currents can stand enormous strain, carry heavy burdens and overcome un- told resistance without being in the slightest danger of nervous break down."

MARKED PROGRESS OF RACE
Much Significance In What Might Be Called the Division of Chinese
 Shoe Periods.

Chinese shoes may generally be divided into two periods-the bound feet period and the natural-feet period according to an article by Miss Yen Wei Tsing. During the former period the women were secluded and their chief business was embroidery, even their shoes being elaborately embroid- cred. Each shoe consisted of two pieces, at the border of which mar row strip of silk was sewed so as to make a smooth edge. The two pieces were sewed together at the pointed end with several fine cross stitches. A wooden block about onethird inch thick served as the heel of the shoe, the wooden block being wrapped in several layers of cloth.

When the Manchus became the ruling class of China, women were released from seclusion in the more progressive homes and their chief interest was no longer embroidery. They had no time to pay much attention to their shoes, and they stopped binding their feet and entered into the natural-feet pe- riod with the Manchus.
