Cigars a foot and a half long, which are made for one day's smoking, are shown in the American Museum of Natural History. With them is a holder which looks like a tuning fork and is large enough to be used for pitching hay. Far up the Rio Nigra, a tributary of the Amazon, two explorers made a collection of articles for the museum. The Indians there made cigars eighteen inches long and as big around as a child's arm. One of these cigars Is too much for any ease loving man to clasp, so the Indians put the fragrant roll between the tines of a fork two and a half feet long, stick the sharp end of the handle Into the ground at a convenient distance from their hammocks and take a puff from time to time as they sway lazily backward and forward. There are many other picturesque articles In the collection, which was made during a three months' journey from the coast The material is of the highest value, and nothing like it haa been seen except a few articles in a German museum. -New York Herald. tHVa;aaK.Ky'"al::ytKla'araJt:a.M Ira Swisher Manager & K a fa x.

They Are Ntt Easily Disturbed While Saying Their Prayers. When saying his prayers the true Mussulman is not easily disturbed. Hans Doering. in his account of bis travels in Chinese Turkestan, writes: "It is an interesting sight to see a Mussulman perform his devotions. Through the piece of glass in my paper window I saw the interpreter spread his carpet In front of his bouse Just opposite the one in which I was living. His wife and child sat quite close to him talking loudly with some visitors, but this did not in the least disturb the old man at his devotions. "In spite of the noise the melodious chanting of the Koran was quite audible. The worshiper kotowed several times and cried 'Allah, Allah, Allah" then for awhile stood reverentially clasping his hands crosswise upon his breast, after which he Joined In the conversation. "His wife then went through the same performance, doing exactly the same as her husband.

MISS VIRGINIA GOODWIN. Leading Lady With the North Bros. Stock Company.

EXPLAINED TO COURT ABOUT FIRE AL John Fitzgerald Claims He Had No Wrong Intention. IS NOTHING AGAINST HIM. John Fitzgerald told Judge Converse in the city court how he happened to turn in a fire alarm at box 01, near the branch office of the Indianapolis Brewing company, North Twelfth and F streets, and then Judge Converse released him, but with the advice that in the future to be sure there was a fire before calling out the department. "Members of the Richmond fire department are paid to extinguish blazes, not to make practice runs on false alarms," stated the court. Fitzgerald stated that he saw a blaze issuing from a corner of a shed in the rear of the brewing company office, and that he at once came to the conclusion that the shed was on fire. Enroute to the fire alarm box he passed the blaze, but was in such a hurry that he never turned his head to see the exact nature of the fire. After he sent in the alarm Fitzgerald stated that he noticed that the blaze was a bonfire which Manager Brown, of the brewing company had started, and was looking after. "The fire which occurred at the office of the Indianapolis Brewing com pany ten days ago, is a very ni vtpri - J ous affair, but no blame is attached to Fitzgerald for this blaze." stated Sergeant McManus FELLOW SUFFERERS. Each Had Throat Trouble Just Lika the Other. As the commuter who alwavs board ed the train at Paradise Hills seated himself he was conscious that the young man next him looked at him with some curiosity as thev exchanged good mornings. For the first few minutes neither one spoke: then the young man broke the ice. "You have a deli-, cate throat, I see," be said commiseratingly. "I used to be bothered that way myself." The commuter hesitated. There was something about his seat mate which invited confidence. "Have you been married long?" he asked, with apparent irrelevance. "Not so very," admitted the young man. "Why?" The commuter cautiously loosened the bandage round his throat and, turning tow ard his companion, displayed an absurd looking, polka dotted tie. , "We've been married less than a ' year," he muttered, "and she gave me six for my birthday." ! The hand of his seat mate grasped his in a cordial, sympathetic grip. "I thought so," he said. "It's only a year since I had my attack of throat trouble." Youth's Companion. Blowing the Nose. Medical experts are calling the atten tion of the public to the importance ol performing the nose blowing operation in a scientific and hygienic manner. First one nostril and then the othei should be blown without undue violence. Doctors state that the two nasa. passages should never be closed at th same time. If they are obstructed, as in the case of a cold, the back of the throat is filled with compressed air and this, together with the discharge and the microbes which it contains may be driven through the eustachiaj tube into the middle ear and lead to serious results. A great authority on the subject used to forbid his patients to blow their noses when saiTerins. from a cold. The course is hardly on which will commend itself to those Id the habit of catching colds. The best advice would seem to be that when il is necessary to blow the nose blowing should be done gently.

Annual Memorial Services Held at Indianapolis on Sunday Afternoon.

SOLDIERS HAVE A PARADE. MORTON'S CAREER AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF INDIANA FINDS NO PEER IN THAT OF ANY GOVERNOR OF ANY OTHER STATE. Indianapolis. Nov. 4 The old habit of marching to the tune of the fife and drum, a habit which in ccasional reunions has never been allowed to die out since tho days of 'til, when it became an ingrafted part of every soldier's nature, was apparent again yesterday. To strains of this martial music about "00 old soldiers gathered at the G. A. R. Hall and marched to Fletcher Place M. E. church to do honor to the memory of Oliver P. Morton, Indiana's great war Governor. Though the gray-haired line was a straggling one. anil there were many who boro empty sleeves and walked with canes. yu the tlm: they kept was perfect. The 'boys." swung along by ones, twos and even fours, as chance had drawn them together hut never missed a st?p. At the church the services were io charge of Department Commander W. A. Ketcham who introduced the speak er of the occasion, I'nion B. Hunt. Tribute to War Governor. "I could not find a phrase of eulogy for Oliver P. Morton that has not been used again and agaiu, so much has his great character and marvelous achievements impressed themselves upon the age." said the speaker by way ' of introduction. "A meeting of this kind is inspiring because it tells us ( that the principles for which Oliver P. Morton stood, and in advocating which he gave the full vigor of hi manhood, have a lasting, abiding interest. " He was a man of masterful intellect and sublime courage. He struck hard blows, and did not wince when struck back. He presented a legal proposition with great clearness and force. He seized upon the central point and fortified it with facts and illustrations until it was overwhelming in its convincing force. Hart h not felt the broader call to serve tho people he wouid have made the mot-t powerful jury lawyer in tho country. "His career as chief executive of Indiana finds no peer In that of anr other governor in any other state in the I'nion. There is no need for ma to say this, however, or for history to say it. as you gray-haired boys know it to be so. He could not be threatened nor forced from a given line ot action. He kept his eye on the road and never faltered. "Mnrtnn ilpvtlmiPil PTpatllPKR with each passing year, and his activity was beyond the ken of mortal man. He not only put soldiers into the field, but ho looked after their welfare in the camps, and at home he looked after the welfare of their families. Tender as a Woman. "Though he was iron when necessity demanded, yet at heart he was as tender as a woman. Never was man moro unselfish. Ho often found time to visit the suffering in camp. Said an old soldier to me, 'I have seen tears start to the eyes of the governor while shaking hands with the boys at the sight of the Kick and wounded. He was untiring in his efforts to relieve suffering.' ' It has been the custom of the G. A. 1. for many years to hold memorial services on th first Sunday iu November in honor of Morton. ANCIENT BOWS. X That of the Scythians Was In the Form ef the Letter C. While universally iiHed by the ancients, the form of the bow varied with different nations. The Scythian bow was In the form of the letter , and the bow of the Tartars, descendants ol the Scythians, still keeps that shape. The Greek bow was not more than three or four feet In length, but so stout and stiff that it required considerable strength and skill to use IL It Is said that the first Greek bows were made from the horns of a species of goat, the bapes being united by means of a metallic band. Afterward othol material was used in their manufacture, but they still retained their original shape. These bows were too short to b of much use, and, comparatively speaking, but a small portion of the troops were armed with them. The Romans carried the bow to Brlfr aiu, where it at once obtained favoi and during the middle age was ex tensively used, forming an important element of the armies of that periodThe English archers were !aid to be the finest in the world. aDd their skill decided the battles of Cxeecy, Poitiers and Aglncourt. The bows used were j of two kinds the long bow and the j arbalest, or crossbow. The arbalest was made of steel or horn and was of such strength and stiffness that It was necessary to use some mechanical appliance to bend It and adjust the string. The arbalestiers carried a quiver with fifty arrows and were placed in the van of the battle. Wanted His Money's Worth. "Ilave you any choice as to the wedding march?" asked the church organist "The wedding march?" echoed the father of the bride t "Yes: the march that is f.iAjea wnea the bridal procession moves down the aisle.
