HAVE BEER ALWAYS ON "TAP"
rican Tribe, but Little Drunk.
enness is Reported.

Among the Madi or Moru tribes Of
the White Nile in Africa, there ex-
lists form Of municipal brewery that
would make great hit among the
thirsty in America. A special house
is set aside for it, and all the women
of the, tribe spend part Of their time
in making beer from millet seed.
White men who have tasted it de-
clare it to be a first-rate drink of
fine flavor and heady results. The
beer is kept in enormous Jars, and
to each jar is attached a number Of
sourd dippers. The beer is free to
anyone or everyone, the only re-
strictiOn being that it be drunk in
the brewery and not with meals. In
spite of this freedom the tribe men,
Ders seldom get drunk.
10 make sure their women will stay
on as brew.masters and not 60 running
off with other men from nearby tribes,
the girls are taken when ten or twelve
years old and laid on the ground while
Il sharp stone is used to pry and knock
out the four upper and lower incisors.
The resulting effect is anything but
beautiful-as the Intention was. The
clothing Of the women consists of a
string worn around the waist, and
changed only when it gets so dirty
that it cannot be seen against the
dark skin.-Detroit News.

1YDlANS HAD FIRST COINAGE
Treasure Deposited in the Temples
Was Impressed With Badge Or
- Symbol Of Divinity.

So far rs is known, the Lydians,
says, Herodotus, first introduced gold
andtsilver coin. The invention was
not far to seek. Treasure came to be
deposited for safety in the temples,
where it was cOnsecrated to the care
of the divinity by being impressed with
badge or symbol. The sacred sym
Dol being accepted as guarantee of
value, the pieces of metal so impressed
found easy circulation. The earliest
Lydian coins eXtant, deriving, probably
from the reign Of Gyges (about 700 b.
O., are bean-shaped Jumps Of native
Lydian gold, blenched with silver.
Each coin bears on it's diverse the
figure Of lion and on its reverse the
impress Of the nail-head serving to
keep the metal in place, while being
struck. From Lydia the one-sided coin
spread throughout the coasts and is
lands Of the Aegean sea, each city is
suing coins bearing the symbol Of it's
divinity. In Greece the earliest coins
of silver, with the figure Of the tor
tOise on the diverse, are said to have
been struck by Pheidon Of Argos. To
Scion, about 800 B. c., is ascribed the
introduction into Athens of the tetra-
drachm, on it's diverse the head Of
Athene. on it's reverse an owl. Sparta
enjoyed all to itself the luxury Of
purely iron coinage. The Greek coins
from 4SO to 300 B. G. marked a great
advancement in the way Of art, and
Anthenian money was. the chief medi-
nm Of exchange during this period.
Other nations later adopted their own
coinage, which has continued to i'm
prove with the advance of civilization.

JEALOUS. OPPONENT OF DYES
Objection Made 81 English Quaker
@Was That They Led to Con- |
cealment Of Dirt,

John Woolman, the Quaker, refused
to wear any, clothing that had been
dyed He carried his scrYples so far
that he wore a. hat that was of the
natural color Of the. fur, thereby pre-
senting, as one Of his biographers re-
marks. the aspect OF sort Of Robin
son }Crusoe. Ones Of John Woolman's
objections to dyes was that they con-
cealed dirt. Travelling often in wet
weather through narrow streets. he
was frequently distressed by various
Notwithstanding when his jour-
neys took him to places where cloth
had been dyed, so that at sundry
times he had to walk over ground
where much of their dyestuffs has
drained away" This produced in his
mind great longing 'that people,
might come into cleanness Of spirit.
cleanness Of person and cleanness
about their houses and garments" As
a further reason, against dyes he ar
gued that the spirit that would hide
dirt leads to the concealment of any
thing that may be materially or NOR
ally disagreeable. and is therefore
contrary to sincerity. He contended
that If the money spent on dyeing were
devoted to the promotion Of cleanliness
much good in every way would result.

EASY TO DANISH THE "BLUEs"
Undue Dependency Can Be Cured BY
Attention to Diet and Cultixa-
ton Of Optimism.

A 1it Of the "blues'' is as much an
intoxication as a drunken spree, and
bad attack may disqualify a person
for wise and efficient action as thor
oughly as alcoholic intoxication.
A person subject to the "blues''
should in his most lucid and optimistic
moments resolve to make no impor.
tant decision, and to set special
guard over his conduct, while under
the influence of the food Of poisons
to which the condition is due.
The real cure for the blues" lies
in prevention by removing causes.
The foul breath and coated tongue
noted in these cases are abundant evil
dence of the poisonous origin Of the
"blues." The adoption Of poison
free diet is almost invariably fol-
lowed quickly by a change in the men,
tai state.
1t is important, then, that we cult
vate optimism and forcing the mind
into optimistic channels Of thought.
This can best be accomplished by
reading optimistic authors and talking
with optimistic people. An excellent
plan is to set oneself the task of cur
ing some other neurasthenic suffering
from his pessimism, by deluging him
with optimistic ideas and expressions.

Carrier Pigeons In Warfare.

The use Of carrier pigeons Is very
ancient in the Orient and was brought
to the attention Of Europe at the time
of the First crusade, when the Sara
Gems were found to have the birds in
regular use for the conveyance of in
formation. The Christian commanders
employed falcons to chase and inter-
cept this pigeon post on several occa-
sions, and. on others caught the tired
birds, substituted misleading messages
for those they were carrying, and sent
them on to, deceive tile enemy. The
sovereign Nureddin> used
carrier pigeons for welding together
the scattered parts of his empire. Al
though the use continued, it was not
until the Franco-Prussian war of 1870
that pigeons were again Of conspicu-
Gus public service. During the siege
of Paris constant communication was
maintained between the besieged city
and the outside world by means of
the carrier birds Subsequently the
German, French and ether European
governments established regular pigeon
corps and thousands of birds were
trained and kept for use as meSsen-
gers.

Pataaonian Game.

Oddly enough, it is on the immense
plain at the southeastern foot Of the
Cordillera de los Andes the wild horses
or mustangs are easiest found and the
guanaco abounGs. Hither the yehu
elches travel for the hunting. The
guanaco is Of use to the Indians in
every way. The flesh of it is excel
lent eating, and made into Kind OF
pemmican that is eaten when the tribe
is on the march; the skin is used for
clothes for the toldQs; the sinews
serve as thread; the skin of the neck
furnishes thongs for bolas and brides
the skin OF the hcugh supplies them
with kind Of moccasin shoe, and
from the bones they cut spoons, cups
dice and make their favorite instru'
ment.--BOys' Life.

Cause Of Forest Fires.

OF thousands of fires only frac-
ton are due to lightning and unpre-
ventable accident, says the American
Forestry Magazine Of Washington,
which adds that the great majority of
the fires that are constantly enlarg-
ing our deserts of barren sand, scrub
oak, chaparral and briers, are due to
the carelessness of human beings-due'
not only to the carelessness of persons
who are directly responsible for the
fires, but to the Indifference Of the
great body of people whose composite
opinion permits the campers, the
farmers, the railroads, and others to
start and leave or lose control of the
fires that do the damage.

German Eolksonus,

In few countries has music formed
SO vital a part of the national life
as In Germany. 1t is therefore not
strange that the German Volkslieder
should treat Of ordinary everyday life
and of the deeper eNoticns rather than
y OF violent and constant changes of feel
Ing. The Volksleider have usually a
small compass; they move either by
step or within the limits of simple
chord; for this reason they can gen
orally be harmonized by the use of the
tonic and dominant chords, especially
as they almost invariably use our ordi-
nary major scale. It Is. indeed. chiefly
owing to their influence that this scale
and its characteristic hulnionieS be-
came so strong factor in modern mu-
sic. The German songs show love

Successes Earned.

There is no easy way to success.
The men who get there earn their
passage. One who would arrive must
pay the price. Truisms? Platitudes!
Granted. But the fact remains. Sue
cess means long hours of labor and
little sleep while one is on the way.
1t means tired eyes and the ache of
muscles. struggle to the point of ut
ter exhaustion, patience and untlag-
ging zeal, and determination that
never wavcrs. 1t means a perennial
refusal to be satisfied with the achieve
ment Of today, and a determination
to generate a little more steam to-
morrow.-Country Gentleman.

. Weight Of Air.

Until very recently nobody knew
how much air weighed.
; We cannot see the air, and, except
when the wind blows, we do not feel
1t. Hence it seems to us to have al
most no substance.
Yet it is rather substantial fluid.
When it moves at a rate of one hum
dred miles an hour it uproots great
forest trees and throws the waters
Of the ocean into turmoil. If our
bodies were empty Of air the pressure
Of the atmosphere surrounding us
would crush us to an immediate pulp.
A room ten feet long, ten feet wide
and ten feet high contains 75 pounds
Of air,

American and European Moose.

The Alces Machlis or elk, one va
rlety Of which with palmated antlers,
found in North America, is commonly
known as the moose, lives in the
northern portions of both the eastern
and western hemispheres. There is a
difference, many naturalists claim, be-
tween the European and American
species, although they approach each
other in general appearance in certain
cases. To be exactly precise, it would
not be perfectly correct to say that
what we know rs the moose is found
in Scandinavia, although he has very
near relatives there.

Thursday (Thor's Day..

People born ON Thursday will live
to a good old age, and obtain great
wealth. They will be successful in
marriage and business, though. some
what liable to accidents. Hopesty,
discretion, and piety will be theirs,

Fish Jump 70 Their Doom.
Siamese fishermen do most Of theil
fishing by means Of what is known as
a ghost boat. This, explains the De
troit News, consists of a long board
painted white, and arranged In posi-
ton in the water. The top must NOT
be too high above the surface Of the
water for the fish it is desired to cap
ture to leap over. When in position
the ghost resembles very much the
white side of a boat or punt. Thu
fish, seeing this white board, become
frightened, and in fear they leap ovel
the board. At the back of the board
however, nets are arranged in sucf
a position that those fish that succeed
in leaping the board land in the nets
and are caught. The amount Of fish
caught by the employment Of ghos
boats is very large indeed, and thu
method has the advantage Of prevent
ing the smaller fry from getting in
to the nets, as they are unable II
leap over the board.
