The mourners sit In groups, with their heads partially covered, giving forth their monotonous wailing and shedding copious tears. "The Maori woman of past r.ges almost excelled her lord In savagery. On the return of a triumphant war party they usually brought home a number of prisoners and slaves. It was the privilege of the women of the tribe to fall upon these, slaughtering them ia preparation for the cannibal feast which followed. Hie women bore the painful ceremony of the tattoo without shrinking. Spirul marks were cut into the flesh of their chins, lips and faces; a soot made by a ieculiar method was rubbed Into the wounds, causing an indelible blue-black stain. The Maoris, even in their former state, treated their women with a certain amount of consideration, although the lot of the female slave was very hard and often euded In her being served up as a dainty dish to appease the appetite of her voracious lord, who would kick away the baskets of vegetable food presented to him by his wives as a 6ignal that he required the tender flesh, of a slave girl."

Arch Lytle has received the follow
ing letter from Judge L. C. Abbott who is now in the East: Somerville, Mass., Aug. 15, 1907. Arch Lytle, My Dear Friend. I had a slow trip home. Near London, O., the car got off the track and
kept us there for some time, before
they could get the car on the track again and after they run on, the air brakes were twisted and it took awhile to fix them and thus belated I could not catch the morning train from Albany and had to wait sometime there, so I did not reach home until late in the afternoon of Friday. Tomorrow I will go up tothe central part of the state to be on hand to deliver my alumni address the next day, and if the weather is good I will have a rousing time. I am meeting now and then with an old acquaintance and having a nice time. The old city looks natural and homelike to me. The most of the people I knew in boyhood have gone to the better land, which makes an old fellow think some as he wanders about the places
where the light of friendly faces used to beam upon him. After all there are not many places I think in the great wide world better than dear old Richmond, and after my visit here I will be glad to be at my desk at 532 Main street and hope you may be able to be with me, for in the years we have been together no unkind word has ever marred our friendly intercourse. Give your wife and all my inquiring friends my kind regards. Hoping I may hear good news from you and that your health continues to improve I am with kind regards and all good wishes to you and j'ours. Your Friend. L. C. ABBOTT.
Incidents of That Mad Ride to Death at Balaklava. Of that mad but heroic charge a hun
dred incidents are preserved thrilling, humorous, shocking. The Cornhill Magazine tells of a man of the Seventeenth lancers who was heard to shout, just as they raced in upon the guns, a quotation from Shakespeare, "Who Is there here would ask more men from England?" The regimental butcher of the Seventeenth lancers was engaged ln killing a sheep when he heard the trumpets sound for tha charge. He leaped on a horse. In shirt sleeves, with bare arms and pipe in mouth, he rode through the whole charge, Blew, it is said, six men with his own hand, and came back again, pipe still in mouth! A private of the Eleventh was under arrest for drunkenness when the charge began, but broke out, followed his troop on a spare horse, picked up a sword as he rode and shared in the rapture and perils of the charge. The charge lasted twenty minutes, and was ever before such daring or such suffering packed Into a space so brief ? The squadrons rode into the fight numbering G73 horsemen, but their mounted strength when the fight was over was exactly 195. It was all a blunder, but it evoked a heroism which made the blunder Itself magnificent. And as long as brave deeds can thrill the Imagination of men the story will be remembered of at with shot and shell. Boldly they rode and well Into the Jaws of death. Into the mouth of hell Noble six hundred!
Life Largaty Made Up of Scrubbing, Regulations and Inspections. The day's programme aboard a man-of-war is calculated to make the boy who wants to run away to sea sit up and think twice. It varies somewhat according as the ship Is in port or at sea and under different commands, but la any case, from 5 o'clock in the morning till 7:30 at niht, it is a rather strenuous round of scrubbing and drills. The recruit realizes very soon that the expression "shipshape" means a good deal. Saturday morning is a tremendous cleaning time, called "tleld day." w hich is followed by a half holiday in the afternoon, and on Sunday morning the captain himself inspects his ship fnrj keel to truck. The marine band is flattened just below on the hurricane deck, and the bluejackets stand on the port side of the quarter dock and the mariues on the starboard, all ready for inspection. But life isn't all scrubblngs, regulations and inspect ions. Ou the larger ships the government furnishes athletic supplies, and each man-of-war has her champion boxer and baseball and football teams. These teams are managed or supervised, nt least, by officers, and many an ensign or lieutenant who has won his "N' at the Naval academy plays shoulder to shoulder with his bluejackets. Such familiarity would have scandalized old Commodore Porter beyond words. St. Nicholas.
A PARASITE CREEPER.
New Zealand's Vegetable Caterpillar It a Most Peculiar Plant. The most extraordinary object I have ever seen is the New Zealand vegetable caterpillar. The rata is a parasite creeper which first dcsti'oys Its forest host and then crushes It to death and, usurping its skeleton, becomes a tree Itself. If the rata seedling is dug up it is found to be springing not from a seed, but from the head of a perfectly formed caterpillar. It is supposed by some that the caterpillar, which on dissection proves to be internally the exact counterpart of Its living insect relative, swallows the tiny rata seed while living and, burrowing Into the ground, becomes, instead of a chrysalis, the germinating home of the seed, which by some agency turns Its unfortunate foster mother Into wood. Others, however, contend the caterpillar itself Is produced by the rata, urging in support of their theory that If springing from a seed the shoot would grow out of different parts of the caterpillar Instead of invariably growing out of the bead. The insect vegetable Is yellowish, about-four Inches long and Is fully extended. I have seen them freshly dug up and others that have been kept for years, and all had the appearance of a perfect Insect carved In wood. Pearson's Weekly.

He Was Too Hasty. A.prominent automobilist condemned scorching at a dinner. "I condemn," he said, "scorching and the scorcher, but I don't condemn the scorcher unheard. I don't condemn the accused man hastily. Hasty condemnation is always a mistake. Once on a Canadian railway I got off the
train for a five minute luncheon at a railway eating bar. There was a man beside me gobbling away, and when he finished I heard him say bitterly, as he took out his purse: "'Call that a ham sandwich? It's the worst ham sandwich I ever ate. No more taste than sawdust and bo email you could hardly see it.' " 'Ye've et yer ticket, said the waiter. 'This hero's yer ham sandwich.

Snake Myths. Snakes have no medicinal qualities, and the following popular notions are myths: That galls of snakes are an antidote for snake bites; that their oil is good for rheumatism, baldness and deafness; that wearing their skins will cure rheumatism or stiffness; that a snake heart, oil or blood is good for consumption or other ills; that snake Cesh should be eaten for blood disorders; that a second bite of the snake ln the same place will cure or counteract the first bite; that rattlers of snakes

the great European bankers. He was born in Rhenish Prussia in lSltl, and received his business training In the Rothschild banking house at Frankfort. He became prominent in this country politically as well as financially, and was rated as a man of originality, of strong prejudices and stubborn Independence of thought and action. At the outbreak of the civil war he would have been the government's choice as its chief bond agent, because of his political prominence and the solid financial backing of his firm; and he might easily have accumulated In this connection one o the greatest American fortunes.

had been eating meat, bread, etc., right along, but there was no ten pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts food was used. One curious feature regarding true health food Is that Its use will reduce the weight of a corpulent person with unhealthy flesh, and will add to the weight of a thin person not properly nourished. There Is abundance of evidence to prove this. Grape-Nuts balances the body in a condition of true health. Scientific selection of food elements makes Grape-Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious flavor and powerful nourishing properties have made friends that in turn have made Grape-Nuts famous. "There's a Reason. Read. "rv Koad to Wellville," in pkgs

Martindale said that the first corn planted In Eastern Indiana was planted by his grandfather. It should have read the first corn planted on Greensfork was planted in 1S10 by his grandfather.

The guest was particularly Interested in the display and admired it greatly. Picking up the plate In front of him and noting the stamp of the manufacturer on the bottom of it, he remarked: "I presume you know that china, or the art of making It, was discovered by accident?" Just then there was heard ln the kitchen, where the maid was busily at work, a loud crash. "Yes," answered Mrs. Diltz, with a pained smile, "and most of it is broken In the same way."
