my blood thoroughly , and now I am in perfect health. "

The only instruments known to these
tribea were the draw , tbo rattle and n
kind of flageolet.
The drum and ratt'mverensed ' in HC
compnnying the voi''e , t > accentuate
the rhythm and to aisfist in interpret
ing the emotive impulse of the song.
Shuking the rattle anil heating the
drum with clear , sharp strokes eervec
not only to mark the time , bat to Be
cure the co-ordination and unity o :
movement of the nnmerons voices in
the choral or to enforce precision emotion
motion in the dance. The tremolo o
the ilrnin or rattle wan to express tin
awe and trepidation felt when approach
ing the Hnpernatnral or when invoking
the aid of the occnlt power.
The flageolet waa a rather rndo in
strument , having a raige limited tc
eight or ten notes in the Irehle clef.
Owing to the lack of mechanical ac
curacy in it.s manufacture , this range
varied with every instrument , as di (
also the quality and value of the tone
relations. There secina to have been
only one requirement of the maker
namely , that when the flageolet was
blcwn with all the six holes stopped
there should be strong vibrations in the
tone produced. This instrument was
used exclusively for solos by the yonng
men of the tribe. Journal of Ameri
can Folk Lore.
Wlmt It MennH to IVnllc.
The man who is content with a
modest average of six miles' wa'king a
day scarcely realizes that every 12
years he walks a distance sufficient to
girdle the earth at the equator.
Startling as this simple calculation
is , he may be excused a feeling of in
credulity when he learns that in walk
ing this distance he has expended suffi
cient energy to raise our 38 first class
battleships a foot high.
It is calculated that in walking an
average mile a man uses sufficient en
ergy to.raise 11 % tons to the height of
a foot , or conversely a ton ( of coals ,
say ) , to three times his own height. The
mere thought of such a feat is sufficient
to deter a man from taking the most
modest constitutional.
Thus every year the man who walks
six miles a day does sufficient work to
raise a ton weight to a height equal
roughly to 1 % times that of Mont
Blanc , or to raise all the gold current
throughout tbe world a foot higher
than his own head. A tramp of 18 miles
a day involves as much exertion as the
day's work of an ordinary laborer.
A Womnn'H Worried.
Said a physician : "I wonder that
women fail to appreciate how much
nervous force as well as physical
strength they consume in worrying over
the little things of life. Look at the
mother and housewife as she goea about
her tasks and observe how often she ut
ters an impatient exclamation , how of
ten she sighs over her servant's short
comings , how often she starts nervous
ly at a noise from one of the children.
And each time that she loses control
over herself , her nerves , her temper ,
she loses just a little nervous force , just
a little physical well being , and moves
a fraction of an inch farther on in the
path that leads to premature old age
and to invalidism. "
The Dcan'H Rebtrlction.
If Tht English Ecclesiastical Gazette
reports correctly , eminent English di
vines are not above a little fooling , of
a Scriptural tenor , of course.
The dean of the Chapel royal was one
day seated in the Synod hall , at Dublin ,
when a scent bottle , falling from the
strangers' gallery , happened to alight
upon his somewhat bald cranium. Ris
ing from his chair , ha asked permission
to make a personal explanation.
"My lord primate , " he said , "I am
always glad to see strangers at our de
bates , and I feel specially honored by
the presence of women. But" here he
held up the scent bottle "let not their
precious balms break my head. "
Divorce by Candles.
When a Burmese husband and wife
decide to separate , the woman goes out
and buys two little candles of equal
leng'th , which are made especially for
this use. She brings them home. She
and her husband sit down on the floor ,
placing the candles between them , and
light them simultaneously. One candle
stands for her , the other for him. The
one whose candle goes out first rises
and goes out of the house forever , with
nothing but what he or she may have
on. The one whose candle has survived
the longer time , even by a second , takes
everything. So the divorce and division
of the property , if one can call that a
division , are settled.
An Economical Cook.
A Chinaman will bake a dinner for a
dozen with a mere handful of fuel. The
boiler he uses is large and cone shaped ,
being sometimes two feet in diameter
and one foot deep. It covers the fire
with merely a small portion of the low
er part of the case , but the heat and
flames infold the rest. Water and rice
are put at the bottom with a frame
over them , and on this are placed dishes
oT fish , fowl and vegetables to boil. The
whole is covered with a wooden cover ,
in the center of which is a hole about
four inches in diameter , and in this an
other dish is often placed , the contents
of which are cooked by tbe steam.
