traditions which are handed down unimpaired to each generation In turn and which form the guiding principle of their re ligious belief and of their wuole life says the Craftsman livery chin and there are a number of family clans making up the various Hop towns has Its own klva or underground cere monial chamber entered by a ladder through a square opening In the roof which Is but a foot or two above the general level of the ground Ilcre tho education of the boys is carried on be ginning at the age of seven or eight jears They are instructed day by day In the literature history and myths of the tribes the priests being the teachers Without writing and without books the llopi have an ex tensive literature and that the utmost accuracy Is observed in Its oral trans mission from generation to generation is revealed by certain comparisons with the records made by the Spanish explorers in the sixteenth century Long Sieges In Congress Samuel J Randall of Pennsylvania was an avowed protectionist Democrat and a man who his colleagues had learned usually was able to get his way Randall had first entered con gress in 1S02 He was n quiet per sistent hardworking person who at tracted little attention for several years Then the Republicans sure of their majority and wishing to expedite business undertook to adopt rules which would prevent obstruction The quiet Mr Randall set himself against the attempt He led the small Demo cratic majority with a skill so unusual that more than once he blocked the Republicans way until it was too late to pass the measure His endurance seemed unlimited From one session lasting forty six hours and twenty five minutes where Randall had forced the roll to be called seventy five times he came out as fresh as he went in At another time in the fight over the force bill he was on the floor for seventy-two consecutive hours Ida M Tarbell in American Magazine How Piutcs Catch Quail The Tiutes have a unique way of getting quail For them there is no closed season or indeed any game law whatever Seasons when the quail come down from the mountains to the spring the Indians make great prepa ration for their capture They build a bough house with a long slender opening in the front formed of tall straight sticks set closely together Within the house an Indian sits con cealed holding a long limber rod which he operates dexterously through the narrow opening In the earlj morning when the birds flock down for water he picks them off one at a time killing them instantly There is no re port in this manner of hunting to frighten the others away and the Indi an often gets enough game in a single morning for the whole settlement Los Angeles Times Went to Bed For Dinner An amusing incident is told of the absentmindedness of the late Justice William G Keogh of Ireland It was at a bar dinner at his own house and he had excused himself from the guests who had already assembled to go up stairs to dress Time went by but he did not reappear The company sat patiently for some time till at length when their appetites were get ting the better of their manners and they were about to send a messenger in quest of their absent host he ap peared and explained with many apolo gies that imagining that he was retir ing for the night he -had undressed and got into bed After an hours sleep he awoke and it suddenly dawned on him that his guests were waiting to dine with him below A Wedding Suit In 1756 Jonathan Morrill and Hannah Hack ett were married Dec 29 1756 This says the Journal of American History is the receipt for his wedding

for two said the man Say goodby for me to the regiment Then he left his hold of the oar and of life It is easy to see that a romance might be founded on this but these are the plain facts The Scope of Indigestion Indigestion is not only the most prevalent of all diseases but is the most far reaching in its complications says Dr Latson in Health Culture In recognition of this fact a brilliant medical man has said There is but one disease indiges tion Cayenne Pepper In cayenne pepper we have a pure energetic permanent stimulant Why not use it instead of whisky and bran dy which are not more

the speckled beauties love to hide If possible such spots should be approached upstream It may take a little more time to go around and come back up but make haste slow ly Is said to he the first axiom of trout fishlug As the stream becomes wanner tho trout seek the cool pools and shaded places They are to be found where a cold spring bubbles up Into the stream or where a mountain creek enters Often a number frequent the same haunt Each additional fish means two more eyes to watch for the fisherman One trout Is all that Is nec essary to give a danger signal by darting away The rest Immediately follow suit To catch more than one or even that In such a place takes skill in the use of the line Uut who has said that trout fishing is not an art Circle Magazine Our Pygmy Ancestors The armor of the knights of the mid dle ages is too small for their modern descendants Hamilton Smith records that two Englishmen of average di mensions found no suit large enough to fit either of them in the great col lection of Sir Samuel Meyriclc Tho head of the oriental saber will not ad mit the English hand nor the bracelet of the Kaffir warrior the English arm The swords found in Roman tumuli have handles inconTeniently small anil the great mediaeval two handed sword is now supposed to have been used only for one or two blows at the first onset and then exchanged for a small er one The statements made by IIo mer Aristotle and Vitruvius represent six feet as a high standard for full grown men and the irrefutable evi dence of the ancient doorways bed steads and tombs proves tho average size of the race certainly not to have diminished In modern days London Hospital Great Musicians Eccentricities Dolls were the idols after his be loved instruments of Domenico Dra gonetti the king of the double bass He had a huge collection of these pup pets dressed in various national cos tumes and wherever Dragonetti went the dolls were sure to go That was only one of this eccentric genius pecul iarities He would never play unless his dog were In the orchestra and no body would have got a note out of him unless he had been permitted to sit in the orchestra next to the stage door This wns a precaution to enable him to save his wonderful instrument in case of fire The instrument itself he brought from the monastery of St Pietro when on a visit to VIncenza and when he died he bequeathed it to St Marks Venice to be used at solemn services London Standard A Queer Coincidence While a serial story was running in a certain magazine a lady in Johannes burg wrote to the publisher asking whether Christian Lys the authors nom de plume was assumed or not She herself was a Mrs Lys who was trying to trace an ancestor of her late husband who was a descendant of Joan of Arc Mr Brebner the author in question wrote assuring her that his pen name was a family one his forbears having come from Aberdeen Strangely enough it came out that her family came also from Aberdeen and their name was Brebner Pall Mall Gazette Pilgrims and Puritans The pilgrims or as they are often called the pilgrim fathers were the seventy four men and the twenty eight women members of the John Robinsons church who sailed in the Mayflower from Leyden to North America and landed at Plymouth Rock where they founded a colony Dec 2j 1G20 The Puritans were the English nonconformists who came over later the name being given to them on ac count of their supposed great purity of doctrine life and discipline New York American Cochineal Cochineal so much used for coloring table jellies and also given to infants as a domestic remedy for whooping cough is the whole insect of a class called coccus but only the females are used Why Because the insects are captured by suffocating them with the smoke of fires below the trees on which they live and as the males have wings while the females have none the gen tlemen take to flight when the atmos phere becomes unpleasantly warm leaving their ladies to their fate Warnings Mrs Stubb I notice so many mar ried men save the receipted milliner bills What use do they make of them Mr Stubb Charity Mrs Mr Stubb Yes they are sent around to the

answered the ungallant wretch she probably figures out in her own mind what her letter has made you think and then tries to have the last word The Trouble Jones I understand there is trouble between
