In America skelaton* are neither legal tender nor monuments of title, but It Is different at the antipodes—in that ns in many other things In New Zealand, for instance, a European can not acquire title to a new piece of land till the individual Maori title is extin guished, and that has to bo done before a native land court. In this court the ••thuongas" or judges of local law de clare that there is no valid title unless the last preceding owner’s thoracic skeleton be produced. It appears that among the Maoris, when the land of a descendant becomes the property of another man the new-comeir hangs np the skeleton of the descendant's body fashioued into a cage, with a parrot in side the ribs. This is fact before the eyes of all and no one would dare to dispute the claims of the holder of such paramount evidence. A Tonic That mulcts the Nerves.

The people of Manitou were enter tained the other day by the spectacle of a man carrying a stone around a triangular track, letting it drop and shouldering it again at every turn. The performer was a man who has a reputation for a disinclination to labor, and the incident was the outcome of a wail he was making about the hard times and his inability to get work. A citizen told him he would not work if he got the chance and offered him SO cents an hour as long as he would carry the stone. To the surprise of all he ac cepted the offer and held out for five hours. A large crowd gathered to watch the performance.—Denver Re publican.
