A HUMAN HARP.

the Kins Madaeasear ll:v''

Timet with Iii- l'risont-rt. The latest story that comes fro

Madagascar tells about Pip, the kir.g c

Lotolies. one of the local tribes whit Is not busy fighting the French. Th. king devised some time ago a hum? harp. He had been visiting the lu-

of punishment in his village and

nessing the bastinadoing of his captiv.

he was struck by the tonal diftere:: of their groans. At once he commi. sioned the royal carpenter to constnu a series of stocks in which he pla freight captives whose howls of pai when the soles of their feet were struc' by the rod were so carefully arrange that they made a perfect octave. Th: seemed such a success that he had second frame constructed for the fe: of eight more wretches whose a vera? groans ranged a full octave highe. The harp was now complete. On it h proposed to play melodies and starte in to practice the national air. His proj ect was to regulate the length of th: note by the violence or the blow. A first the scheme did not succeed at al" for the reason that the captives, hit!. erto used to hard hits alone, howle; loudly each time, and with little differ ence in force. At last he arranged it hovVever, so that the groans becam; proportioned to the blows. But the in strument never got quite In tune. In cessant was the cry of some of th animated notes, others would not s.ouni'i at all at the right time. The heather king had to give it up. The duconU were too painful for fresh sets of prisoners, the human notes would never work just right.

STARVED TO DEATH.

Terrible Fate of a Man "Who Swallowed a Teach Seed. Jacksonville, Fla., Special: Georpt Howell, aged 51, died in the county hospital Thursday morning of starvation. He starved on account of his inability to swallow food. Not even a drop o: water passed into his stomach for

Gustav JJreimeier, toolmaker at the Cycle works, leaves on No. 8 tonight to spend the holidays with his parents, who reside at 221 West Creighton äve., Fort Wayne. Camillo Olivetti, of Italy, was in Plymouth yesterday calling on the lu-

jdiana Novelty Mfg. Co., to make arrangements for handling the Plymouth jims. The Plymouth dancing club will give its ball on the night of the 2Uh, and n rains have been spared to make it one

accident, he swallowed the peach stone, which lodged in his esophagus or gullet. From that day until he died he suffered agonies from hunger and thirst and gradually wasted away until he was a mere skeleton. He begged plteously for food and water, and sametimes they were given him, but the two three mouthfuls of this he was able to take came up almost immediately, harlng never found their way to the stomach any further than the obstruction. Skilled physicians fried in vain to remove the obstruction, even cutting open the stomach in their efforts to reach it. After the mar died the doctors cut him open and removed the part of the esophagus in which the stone was lodged. The stone was turned crosswise in its passage to the stomach, and the sharp end had penetrated Into the esophagus, clinging so firmly that it would not be forced.
