THE SKULL BANJO
Probabry the Most Grewsome Musical
Instrument Known
It Is a well known fact that through
dire necessity the American Indian has
developed remarkable skill The old
stones of how these Indians made
pottery and earthenware by the aid of
only the most crude instruments and
of their methods of burning and carv
ing out the insides of the trunks of
trees to make canoes are universally
known
But even with all their skill the fact
that they were a barbarous uncivilized
race cannot be evaded as Is shown by
this grewsome instrument In the time
of the earl j settlers of this hemisphere
their acts of cruelty were without prec
edent in the history of the world
With these facts in view we can
easily understand how the skull ban
jo came to light It is known that in
the small country of Paraguay in the
oast central part of South America
the Indians who inhabited that place
were more than ordinarily cruel They
were constantly engaged in warfare
and their primary aim when thus en
gaged was to capture the chief of the
opposing side When captured this
personage was carried to their camp
and there cruelly murdered and it
was from his body that this avo inspir
ing musical instrument was made
The instrument Is made as follows
The body is decapitated and the skull
Is then thoroughly dried Tho who
is to perform the feat or 1 the
instrument then cuts the l entirely
off Over the opening thus made a
piece of skin taken frnm the bo iy and
also thoroughly dried is lightly stretch
ed In the manner of a drum From the
back of the skull the two femurs or the
two bonos of the leg which extend
from the kno to tho hip proict Those
bones have been s o trimiVel that they
are of uniform thickness ihrorghout
their entire length The inpcr ends of
these bones are joined together with
one of the ribs also taken from that
body
Then from the forehead of the skull
to the rib which connects the two fe
murs a number of strings are tightly
stretched These strings are likewise
made from the skin of the victim hav
ing been thoroughly dried stretched
and rubbed with rosin
But this even is not the full extent
of the grewsomeness of this instru
ment for the skull is left so that the
jaws are movable Therefore with
each shake of the instrument the jaws
wag and with a sharp jolt of the in
strument the teeth come together with
a snap New York Herald

THE MANTO
A Garment Tlmt AH Chilean Women
Wear to Church
The Chilean womens most fetching
garment wrap or what you will Is
the manto It Is of some kind of
flne black material and is worn thrown
over the head Sometimes a flap of it
Is drawn tightly across the forehead
After being thrown over the head the
manto by some means which I havo
as yet been unable to discern Is cinch
ed in close about the neck
This cinching In at the neck makes
a kind of hood around the face and
this hood Is very skillfully manipulat
ed by some of the women to cover up
moles and other defects and to con
ceal the fact that their hair has not
been carefully combed
From the shoulders the manto falls
down in front to the toes and behind
to the heels It is held together in
front partly by pins and partly by the
hands of the wearer It is usually but
not always worn over the street cos
tume
The wearing of mantos by all wom
en no matter of what class on attend
ing church is obligatory This provid
ing for a uniform costume Is quite rea
sonable and Is designed to eliminate
Fueh things as our Easter bonnet com
petitions and allow the mind to for
sake earthly and devote itself to things
spiritual
It also swells the attendance on
many occasions for some of the ladles
when they arise too late to have time
to dress for early morning mass mere
ly throw on their mantos over their
robes de nuit and with the addition of
such head and foot trimming as is
necessary to give the impression of
being fully dressed trip demurely off
to church to all outward seeming as
though they had spent hours instead of
minutes before their glasses Los An
