WASHINGTON AND MAIN STREETS.

In an Expert'* Ilandw an Deadly tlie Coil ol' a Mialtc. Next to the boomerang in point of singularity as a savage weapon is the Patagonian bolas. The bolas tionsists of two, sometimes three, balls at the end of hide thongs. The balls are made of stones. and are almost as large &a

BOLAS.

cricket balls. Tlie stones are ground till they are rounded. This work is performed by the native women, who ore experts at the trade, and who may be seen at work at all hours. Sotue bolas balls are of iron, but those valued most are of copper. The lattter are smaller than stone balls, and are more to be desired, as they experience less retfctance from the air.

The thong is about nine feet in length, and is made of two pieces of raw-hide, which are dampened and then twisted together. There are generally three of these thongs, and at the end of each is a baII done up in a cover of euanaco hide, not unlike our base balls. Usually one of the thongs are shorter than the others, so that when the three lines are fjaasped at their poiut of juncture one ball hangs less far down than its mates.

Such is the native weapon of the tall Pataironians Now, how do they use it? Generally tlie hunter carries it twisteil round his waist like the sash of an ollicer. tlie balls dangling at lus side like the tassel of a sash. The Patagonia is usually mounted, like our Comanche Indian, and seeks his game from the saddle.

When lie sees his game and gives his horse the rein he unwinds the bolas by a single twist of tlie deft hand and grasps tho thongs at the point of union. Away go the hunter and his game, sometimes the fleet ostrich, at other times the equally swift gnanaco.

Not a movement of the game does the Patagonian miss. He bears down upon it like a whirl wind, lm everready bolas in his hand. When he comes within hurling distance he whirls the novel weapon over his head till it has gathered enough centrifugal force to pa rate the balls, when he launches it at the animal. The balls whirling madlv in their flight reach and twist round the unfortunate victim and speed"Iv bring it down.

The c!n 1 ng owers.if the bolas render it He mi si. dangerous of all wei'jK.ivs -ed by savege nations. The ball dr t\ I-lie 1 iioi'i tighter all the time, am oil' sirnck, there is no esc:. pe for I lie viei mi

The skill of i'a 1,1 goiiian bolas throwers is marvelous. The weapon is as unerring as the arrow and just, as deadly. Kxperts can fa-ten a rider to Uis horse with the bolas. or bring down both man and si with a single weapon. The object is always to throw the bolas so Hat the thongs, not the bulls, will strike the target aimed at the Hying balls do the rest—complete tt.e victory, as it were.

In no other country is the bolas used, and the Patagonia, enjoys the distinction of possessing a weapon distinctly national in its character and even more terrible than tlie boomerang. ......

The Only One Price Ciothieir and Hatter in CRAWFORDSV

Deautv will be one of itie tianasomest monuments in New York. It is a gift from the Italian citizens, and those having the matter in charge have taken pains to secure the best skill obtainable.

A competition for the work was opened in Italy under the (Jrispi Government, and among those who competed for the prize were Monteverdo,

THE COUM1US STATfH.

Ferrari, Salvini, Sacconi. Calderini, Maccari and Uaelano Russo. The design of the latter, as given herewith, was finally adopted.

The entire Columbus Monument, as now projected, will be seventy-five feet high, of bronze, white marble and granite. The figure of the discoverer will bo of colossal size, thirteen feet high.

'/•. Look Out for Lunatics. A leading tobacconist says that 25,OOO.Oi'O cigarettes were consumed In Philadelphia l&st year.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Scalding hot water should never be poured into dishes whicli have held milk until it has been removed by cold water.

Tho best way when hot grease hns been spilled on the floor is to dash cold water over it, so as to harden it quickly and prevent it striking into the boards.

If a tablespoonful of kerosene bo put into four quarts of tepid water, and this be used in washing windows and mirrors, instead of pure water, there will remain upon the clean surface a polish no amount of friction can give.

Silk underwear should be washed through several cool waters iu which sonp and torax have been dissolved. .All silk wear should be squeezed ly the hand rather than rubbed, although especially soiled spots must be rubbed with a little sonp. liny fine copper wire by tho pound for hanging pictures. It does not cost half what a twisted wire or cord does, and looks far better. Paste light ninnilla paper over tlie back of every picture-frame not already protected, ns it effectually pre-.. vents dust from reaching the pictures.

Steam heat is said to be the worst for a pinno. and in time shrinks both case anu action, so that tlie former cracks and tho latter rattles. Where one lives where that handy mode of

heating

n. room obtains, a

disli of water should he kept constantly upon the radiator it induces humidity and in r. measure pr( vi .is shrinking.

Small tears woolen goods should bo darned with ravelin} m' tho same, having first, put under a piece of tho cloth, and afterward pressing cave/ully. Breaks in black silk garments um.y lie mended with hits of court plaster, and if the lace curtains liewune torn wot a piece of laco in starch and iron it on tho wrong side of the curtain.

Care should lie taken in the matter of sweeping to cover up house plants, and to sponge the leaves fr- aentlv. Tho dust that accumulates on .aem shuts np their breathing pores, as it would on »iie human system, rendering them unhealthy. Another thing eonducivo to healthy plantgrowth is frequent stirring of tho soil, and a hair pin is a good implement for the purposo.

It is stated that lamp chimneys shouldnever be washed in soapvuds or clear wa- i„,jter. If a cloth wet in alcohol was used for this purpose, or. what is much cheaper and I always at haud, kerosene oil. there will be a perceptible falling o:r in the manufacture and sale of lamp chimneys It is really I surprising how seldom lamp chimneys will I break :.-i'l whnt a fine polish will bo given bv cleaiiing iu Ue.'osut or alcohol.

To clean lace fill a bottle with cola -water, draw a stocking tightly over it, securing both ends firmly. Place the laco smoothly over the stocking and tack closely. Put the bottle in a kettle of cold water containing a few shavings of soap and place over the firo bo boil, llinse in several waters and then drain and dry. When dry remove and place smoothly in a large book and preVs with weights. Very nice lace can be mado to look like new by this process. ,V: MECHANIC ARTS AND ARTISANS.

Montreal has tho cheapest telephone service on the continent. Twenty-five dollars a year is charged.

Tape measures are made at but two places iu the United States—Brooklyn,.If.. Y., and Cleveland, O.

With the exception of Spain all the countries of Europe have laws against' the use of cast iron wheels under passenger cars and locomotives.

In Paris the drivers of the cars on some of the street railways aro placed on top of the car, thus giving them better control of the horse, whilo gaining additional space for passengers.

A clothes wringer that is said to be pro-.. ducing a handsome income for tho present owner of tho patent was invented in 18S8 by Ellen Kglin, a Washington colored •woman, who sold, it for SIS.

A Fitchburg, Mass., genius hns solved the problem of applying the principle of ball bearings to the heaviest machinery. Hitherto it has been possiblo to use these bearings on bicycles and very light machinery only.

Considerable numbers of Germans have gone to take service with the Chinese and Japanese fleets. China has ordered several war vessely from German builders and Japan has bought a number of torpedo boats in Germany.

A rope company in St. Louis recently made what is claimed to bo tho largest shipment of cable ever carried by one car. Two reels of wire, weighing 140,000 pounds, were shipped on a special fonrtruck platform car.

Tho largest rain gauge ever mado 1* probably that used by Sir J. B. Lawes and Dr. J. II. Gilbert at their experimental farm at Rothamsted. Its area is one thousandth of an acre. The funnel is of wood lined with lead, tho upper edge being a vertical rim of plate glass beveled out ward.

TEMPERANCE NOTES,

It seems tlidt in Kugland, as well ns in America, the brewers control tho saloons. Of the 2,000 licensed houses in Liverpool, all except, 200 are in the hinds of brewers.

Flavoring food with intoxicating liquor, «s. for instance, wine in sauce and brandy in mince pics, is suggested as a sure way to train young people to ruinous taste for strong drink.

Four great brewers now sit in the house of lords, having the power to defeat if possiblo any measure passed by the people's representatives which stiikes a blow at tlie drink demon.

In Cincinnati a few nights ago a policenan passing by one of the most dangerous railroad crossings in the city found tho ftag-

man

reclining in a drunken condition on the sidewalk with his signal lamp overturned and broken beside him.

The Dominion AV. C. T. U., which includes the provincial unions of Ontario, Quebec. Maritime Province, British Columbia ami Manitoba, number iiOS unions, with v. membership of 9,000—40 young woman'«• vnions and l'.»2 children's societies, the littler having a membership of 19.000.

The South Australian educational department has issued a temperance pledge book for use in the state schools, with fcbis pledge: ••With my parents' consent I promise not to use intoxicating liquors before I am twentv-one years old, and to do all 1 can to in.Uieo my companions in the same way."

A leading manufacturer in Bcssbrcok, Ireland, wisely refuses to concede the term '•the trade"' to tho liquor traflic of the north of Ireland. "The trade there," lie says, 'is the -linen trade.' a pure, useful trade which is. in fact, tho only kind of busiii"ss that can be called a 'trade.' Tb# reverse is the case with the manufactve, sale and consumption of strong drink."
