tlrony.f. Doors Worth $00,000 a Pair,

lOOO Ton*—In the Rotunda.
1 T VERY BODY who visits Wash
ington will be interested in
_*1 a bill introduced in of Congress bronze
doors providing another set
for the Capitol Building. People
who have visited the rotunda—-and
everybody who goes there visits the ro
tunda of course—will remember with
interest the great set of bronze doors
which ornament the entrance of this
wonderful portion of the wonderful
building, looked upon by many as the
handsomest legislative building in the
world. The big bronze doors which
open to the visitor as lie enters the ro
tundaof the Capitol always stick in his
memory, and hundreds of thousands of
people in the United States to-dny re
member them. They are very elaborate,
The Dill m question proposes to place
at the entrance of the House end of the
Capitol a bronze door somewhat similar
to that at the entrance ot the rotunda or
the one at the entrance of the .Senate
wing of the Capitol. The Rogers
bronze door at the entrance to the rotun
da of the Capitol cost a trille over $30,-
1 ) 00 . Those at the Senate end of the
Capitol cost even more, for the total of
their cost ran up to nearly $00,000. The
bronze doors of the rotunda, while they
arc interesting, are by no means allot the
attractive features of this interesting
portion of the Capitol. Everybody who
comes to Washington makes a bee line
for the rotunda. The great dome, weigh- |
ing 3576 tons, which surmounts it is tlie
first thing lie sees when he enters Wash
ing, and the rotunda itself .is usually the j
first point visited after landing.
At all hours of the day there are
crowds of sight seers in the rotunda. The
visitors who enter by the main steps not
only pass between a pair of doors costiug
$30,000, but find themselves surrounded
by pictures and statutes representing a
much greater sum. Usually the first
thing that the visitor does upon entering
the rotunda is to turn his eyes toward
the great dome, which stretches 180
feet, above him. Here lie sees directly
over his head a painting which costs a
trifle of $40,000. Stretching along the
circular walls which surround him he
find eight paintings, which cost !
about $70,000. Abovo them are
pauels which contain medallion
heads of Columbus, Raleigh, Cabot and
La dalle, while over the entrance doors i
are alto relievos cut in stone, represent¬
ing the Landing of the Pilgrims, Penn’s
treaty with the Indians, a conflict be¬
tween Boone and the Indians and the
preservation of Capt. John Smith by
Pocahontas. The e two sets of relief
panels cost about $25,000. Still beyond
them runs the celebrated line of fresco
paintings, illustrating the principal
epochs of American history, and costing
a sum not yet determined, as the work
itself is not yet finished. Thus the visi
tor to the rotunda finds himself sur
rounded by “high art,” high in two
senses of the word, for it is high in cost.
and the item which was most expensive
is high above his head, 183 feet high.
There is a round white stone, a bit of
marble probably, in the centre of the
dome. The average guide always leads
bis victim to this spot, and tells him
gravely that this is the center of the
building. He informs him that in a spot
directly below where he now stands is a
crypt, which was prepared for the re
mains of Washington, but which was
never utilized for that purpose. Then
he calls attention to the wonderful alle
gorical painting in the “eye of the
dome,” directly above their heads, ami
it is no unusual thing to see little groups
of people standing over this central stone
with heads thrown back,looking directly
upward and studying out this wonderful
allegorical paintings from the hands ol
tho renowned artist, Brumidi. This
doue, the guide leads the visitors to the
historical paiutings, with the customary
guide’s lingo, made up of some bits of
history, anecdoetes and imagination,
One of the most noted aud carefully
studied of these pictures is the surrender
of Lord Cornwailiis at Yorktown, and at
almost any hour of the day you may find
a group of people standing before this
picture, this crowning event in the his¬
tory of the great revolutionary struggle.
There are a good many wonderful
things to be said in connection with this
rotunda and the dome which covers it.

Hook Sningiiij in India.
In October last the obsolete practice of
hook swinging was revived in southern
India, It wa« s leature of a religious
festival in the large town of Sho’avandan.
The authorities did nothing to prevent
the cruel exhibition. The local Govern
ment was, in fact, asked to prevent the
occurrence, but an evasive answer was
returned. The victim of the spectacle
w T a.s a willing sacrifice, no feeling of re¬
ligious devotion entering into his per*
formance. He received between 400 and
500 rupees for the exhibition, which
lasted more than an hour, but the sum is
more than he could earn by hard labor in
eight or nine years. He was, in addi
tion, privileged to travel around the
country for three months, showing the
hooks, ropes, etc., and receiving money
from the people, few of whom would re¬
fuse to give him something. The per
formance, therefore, was very lucrative
for him, and it gratified the people,
hardened and brutalized as they are, for
Sholavandan is the head centre of the
Fuller, vr robber, caste, who arc guilty
of robberies and train wreckings, besides
bloody deeds,
Thousands of people flocked to see the
revival of the old fanatical religious cus
tom. The hooks were thrust through
the flesh of the man’s back and he was
suspended about twelve feet in the air.
He bore lus sufferings with the utmost
fortitude, aud his face showed scarcely
any evidence of the pain lie must have
endured. A medical man who was pres-,
eut, and examined the swinging man,I
sent, at the request of the Government,
a report of his condition. His impres-J
sion was that the bodily suffering the.
man experienced was considerably within
the limits of endurance.
It was announced in February last that
arrangements had been made for another
hook swinging, to take place, at Tirasa
veuau. The Madras Government pro¬
poses to make a thorough inquiry into
the whole matter. Of course the Indian
Government finds it wise policy to inter¬
fere as little as possible with the religion
of the natives, and if, after thorough
inquiry, it be ascertained that it is a re¬
ligious practice, and does not entail seri¬
ous bodily suffering, it may not be pro¬
hibited.
The natives gave as their reason for
the exhibition last fall that they wished
t0 propitiate the Goddess of Rain, so that
lhc J mi S ht secure abundant showers.
For two weeks, however, before the per¬
formance heavy and continuous rain had
fallen. The real reason for the exhibi
hon was that the people are great lovers
of festivals and care little what the spec¬
tacle is, if they only have a gala time,
i’he entertainment was provided chiefly
as an amusement for those who wished
something exciting and spectacular,
Man -V of the people are very religious,
an( I " worship almost anything it their
emotions be excited, and to that class
a i so the exhibition appealed strongly.—

Feeling in the Bones.
People usually imagine that their bones
are of solid mineral construction, witii
out any feeliug in them. No one v ho
has ever had a leg or an arm cut off is
likely to indulge in such a mistaken no¬
tion. Comparatively speaking, little
pain is felt when the flesh is being cut
through, but when the bone is attacked
by the saw. Oh, my!
You see, as a matter of fact, there are
blood vessels aud nerves iuside the bones
just as there are outside. Any oue who
has purchased a beefsteak at the market
knows about the marrow iu the bone,
it is the same with other animals than
the bullock, inc uding huipau beings,
Through the marrow run the nerves and
blood vessels, entering the bones from
the flesh, without by little holes, which
you can see for yourself any time by ex
amining a skeletou, or part of one.
When the disease called rheumatism,
which no physician understands, affects
the nerves within the bones no way has
been discovered for treating it success
fully. It does not do tu smile when a
person says that he feels a thing in his
bones.—Pearson s Weekly.

jgrm A! A bottles. It has a well
fitting like stopper. You
felt climbino cork°for up
with a screw and drawing the
a look inside. But thomm the wine of
the gods had been in them, you couldn’t
have climbed that bottle. There wasn’t
anywhere a chauce to catch on with fin
gers or toenails. And if there were any
thing harder that the quartz in that pil—
lar, dynamite-makers may be acquainted
with it; I’m not.
Our settlement was proud of its bottle
—bragging about it at barbecues, and
camp-meetings, and turkey-pullings, and
corn-huskings. We were forever daring
climbers to try their nails, and spurs,
and chisels, and augers on it. Every
stranger that came our way was certain
to be challenged to try his skill. There
wasn't a soul in the settlement but
claimed a share in Bottle Pinnacle, and I
reckon there wasn’t a shareholder that
didn’t take a look at it every day.
No wonder, then, that on one certain
morning the villagers were running about
before breakfast, calling object on one another
to look at an unusual perched up
there, on the stopper of Bottle Pinnacle.
Bure enough, there was something ancTyel- up I
there. It parti-colored ’
was red
low, as far as could be made out. Its !
size! well, you know it is with the moon. ]
You can make it seem to you the size of
a dinuer-plate or as large as the hind
wheel of a lumber wagon. The size of
that object on the stopper was anywhere
from that of a butterfly to a calf, accord- !
ing as you allowed for the distance or i
didn’t allow.
gL Most ot the people of the settlement had
cold breakfasts that morning, or burnt
biscuits, because of the disputes they
got into about the “thing” perched on
the cork, disputes, too, that didn't stop
for weeks. “It’s shiny like gold.” “It j
is gold.” “It’s a gold nugget sticking {
out of the quartz.” “It’s no more like
a gold nugget than a cat is like cattle.”
“It’s like a lace that’s up there—there’s :
a nose as plain as there’s a nose on your j
face!” “It’s a human face!” “How m ;
reason could a face get up on that stop
per when hands and legs couldn’t do it |
to its save mortal their face; souls!” it’s ghost-face.” “Nobody means “If j
a a
we could only get up there!” |
The people twisted and screwed their
brains over plans and schemes for seal
ing the Bottle Pinnacle. There were !
uot any bridge builders in the settle
nient, nor any tower of Babel architects,
There were no acrobats or gymnasts to (
jump over the moon, or swing to the
stars. 1
The discu-sions, the exclamations 1
went on; “We might blow np the pin
nacle and find a gold mine! '” “And ;
spoil the great natural curiosity of the
settlement?” “If we had a cannon, we j
might shoot out the cork!” i
“Thereis a magnifying glass at the
village down the valley; we’ll borrow
that!" said some one at last. i
The magnifying glass was brought,
and most of the men and boys from the ;
village of the valley came along with it.
The people pestered so about their turns
to look through the magnifier at the ob
ject on the bottle that a guard had to
stand around the glasl and let in one
person at a time to the gazing, beginning
with the A's. This made the waiting
Y’s and Z’s fighting mad.
The remarks went on: “It’s not a !
nugget!” “It’s not gold!” “If it’s gold,
it’s a gold face, for a face it is!” “It’s
a face!” “It's a face!”—everybody said,
“It’s like the face of George W. Gillett!”
“It’s the ghost of George W.!” “But
he died the day after the that stopper!” face took up j
its residence on “The:
face looks heap like Grandma 1
a more
Tuttle's!” “It’s a sin to speculate about
a ghost face!”
There was one person who at least un
dertook to do something beside speculate,
This was Govann, a spry youth, with
hair as yellow, or red, as the object
shining on the pinnacle. There was a
strong, tall tree standing near the bottle,
Govanu climbed this tree nearly to its j
tiptop. Then he walked out on a side J
branch toward the pinnacle, *ad looked
the face in the face. But ho couldn’t
make it out any more than he had done
on the ground with the magnifier.
The crowd below passed up a swing,
Govanu fastened this to limbs and swung
out in a free way toward the bottle, the
face steadily looking on. it might have
laughed in its sleeve, if it owned a
sleeve, at the way Govanu returned—
Crashing back through the boughs,hang
ing on them shreds of his clothes,
shreds, too, of his sandy hair for the
use of future nests-builders.
Govann reported that he did not ob
tain any additional knowledge of the
subject by that tour of observation.
The face on the stopper was a face; that
was certain,
The magnifying glass was sent up to
the investigator. Standing on oue foot
m a swaying branch, Govann took ob
servation3 with the magnifier.. He re
ported that it was really a face; more
over, that it moved and ‘‘made faces’’ at
him.
“Surely it was some wicked spirit—
the ghost of some one beheaded for
crime.”
j Then they fell to reuiculing Govann
for the failure of his tree excursion. He
had not advanced the general informa¬
tion except by stating that the face
had moved. “I doubt the face's mov¬
ing.” “The motion was all in Govaun’s
eye.”
“Taking daguereotypes ” was just then
getting around to our parts, and all the
people said that they d sao»cnbe to get
a picture-taking man and his machine to
come over and take the likeness of that
red-and-yellow mystery, sitting uncon
cernei up iien..
Govann said that if they would .. give .
him the money which it would cost to
S et tlic king’s picture taken, he’d under
to solve the mystery^
How would he do it? They must raise
I the purse aud he must see the money; he
didn’t propose to wait till planters could
raise another crop and sell it before feel
ing of his money. Then, too, he must
have the help of all the men and tools
, that he might need.
Govann’s first call was for good axes,
sharp saws and the best of choppers,
All the other men of the settlement stood
looking on while the axmen chopped and
the sawyers sawed at the tallest tree in
a B that country—the companion through
years of storm and sunshine of the Bottic
Pinnacle. There were guesses and reck
onings about the probable happenings
when the great tree should fall. “The
bottle might be broken to pieces! ’
“The face might fall at their feet!’
Not only the settlement but a crowd
from near and far came to the tree fall
ing. And it did make a sight and a
sound worth while. The top was broad
enough to make a skv-du3ter. When
the folks saw the great plumy mass of
green sweeping down like a forest, mak
ing a moving shadow like a swift storm
clcud, that nothing they could held their Bottle breath, Pinnacle feeling j j
save
—that it must be crushed into a thou- 1
saud fragments. But not a crumb was j
broken with great from it, thou^i whips past it was numbering, thrashed
green
It stood silent, unharmed.
The tree itself received a thousand
wounds, but was safely lodged against
the rock, as Govaan had planned. At
once the choppers and sawyers began to
lo P the branches along the massive
trunk.
Then, up the Iudian ladder formed by
the notches, Govann climbed till ho j
reached the rock where the bottle’s neck
There he crept out on the
shoulder, seeking a hold, a break in the
rock, by which he might get higher, or
for yielding spots where he might screw
in his augers.
But the pinnacle stood unyielding.
unconquered.
He called for the longest and lightest
ladder that the settlement could produce.
It took the hard tugging of a score of
men to get it up to him. It was planted
on the bottle’s shoulder, stayed by the
treetop.
It was now dark. By a lantern
Govann climbed up and up to the lad
der’s topmost round, the people watch
ing the latter mount higher and higher
till it seemed a star. At the top he held
out and up the lantern at arm’s length,
but no light was thrown on the face. j
There’s nothing boys won’t do for
fun. They serenaded Govann, singing
“Rockaby, Baby in the Treetop.”
In the morning Govanu returned to
the top of the ladder and lashed himself ,
to it. He had a rope with three lashe 3 ,
each lash ending in a loop. This triple
lasso he threw up, trying to lasso the
face. The countenance was turned three
quarters to him, but he could hardly get
a glimpse of it on account of the pro- !
jecting ledge on the bottle just below
the stopper.
He worked at lassoing all the morning
without once touching the face. Eut
just as he heaid the dinner horns of the
settlement sounding faint and far he
found that his rope was caught by some
thing in the stopper. This made his
jump.
Bracing himself he pulled at the rope
with all his might. It did not start. His
heart beat hard. If the rope would hold
he saw that he could climb it to the top
of the pinnacle. Holding to the top of (
the ladder, he swung all his weight on
the rope. It held taut. Again and again
he tested it carefully from side to side. It
did not start. His heart'giew hot with
courage. “Climb itl Up! Climb it!”
they below shouted.
He looked down to the dwarfed peo
pie shouting and waving encouragement,
Then his brain reeled; his heart was
suddenly cold as stone; for a moment ]
only the lashing ropes kept him.
Slowly his head steadied. He retried
the rope caught there somehow on the
top of Bottle Pinnacle; the end of the
rope in his hand he tried to tie the lad
der. But the rope was far too short for j
a good knot. Govann wore a pair of
homemade suspenders, knit by his
sweetheart out of a double and twisted
flax. He twisted the pair together, and j
pieced out the rope.
Then he freed himself from the ladder
and began climbing his spider's thread,
He went carefully, carefully over the
ledge, carefully up the stopper, till his
eyes were taking in the crest of the pin
nacle, the first in all the world to get a
sight of that uplift. There was the
rope on which he hung; he saw that one
loop was caught over a little rocky une
venness about two inches above the gen
eral level,
Over the rim of the stopper he passed
rose to his feet, and saluted the cheer¬
ing throng below,
The shouting grew uproarious as he
held up to view the red and yellow mys
tery, though the people didn’t yet know
what it was.
What did Govanu find there on Bottle
Pinnacle?
r There “ were square rods of surface on
the crest that bad looked from belew
like a point, He found an eagle’s nest
from which the bird was then absent,
and cn the nest’s edge, fronting the
settlement, forming a part of the nest’s
embankment was the red and yellow face,
held in place by sticks and other build-
1 ing material, gathered by the bird that
can stare the sun out of countenance.
Hugging the mystery with oue arm,
the hand holding on the waist band of
his trousers, Govann slid down the rope,
backed down the ladder to the treetop,
climbed down the Indiau stairs and
swung down on a pile of feather beds
which the women had provided against
a fall.

Sacred Feathers Among the Indians
feathers figuie very prominently in
the religious customs of most aborigi
nes, and remarkably so in the Southwest.
Among Navajos and Pueblos alike those
plume symbols are of the utmost efficacy
for good or bad. They are part of al
mest every ceremonial of the infinite su
perstitious of these tribes. Any white
or bright hued plume is of good omen—
“good medicine,” as the Iudianwould put
it. The gay feathers of the parrot arc
particularly valuable, and some dances
cannot be held without them, though the
Indians have to travel huudreds of miles
into Mexico to get them. A peacock is
harder to keep in the vicinity of Indians
than the finest horse—those brilliant
plumes are too tempting,
Eagle feathers are of sovereign value;
and in most of the pueblos great, dark,
captive eagles are kept to furnish the
coveted articles for most important oc
casions. If the bird of freedom were
suddenly exterminated now, the whole
Indian economy would come to a staud
still. No witches could be exorcised,
nor sickness cured, nor much of any
thing else accomplished,
Dark feathers, and those in particular
of the owl, buzzard, woodpecker and
raven, are unspeakably accursed. No
one will touch them except those who
“have the evil road,”—that is, are
witches,—and any Indian found with
them in his or her possession would be
officially tried and officially put to death,
Such feathers are used only in secret by
those who wish to kill or harm an enemy,
whose path they are laid with wicked
wishes that ill fortune may follow. —bt.

Marriage by Proxy.
A curious custom among the rulers of
the Old World is marriage by proxy,
For instance, Francis II., the ex-King
of Naples, was wedded by proxy in 1859
to Maria, a duchess of Bavaria. Of
course the marriage by proxy goes no
further than the ceremony. Exactly
why it should be done at all is not clear
by past or present history, unless to save
the Prince the trouble of going alter his
wife and give her a decent excuse for
coming to him.
In the case of Francis, he had never
seen Maria, aud their first interview is
said to have been attended with consid
erable disappointment. In fact, if the
young man had not bcei already married
by proxy he would probabiv have never
married the lady at all.
Leopold, King of the Belgians, also
married his Austrian wife by proxy,
but he knew what he was about, having
mother a month previous during a visit
to Vienna. At the time of the marriage
he was but a mere stripling, and his
wife was chosen for him by his royal pa
rents, who, however, gave him the priv
ilege or seeing her in advance.
On his return from Vienna Leopold
was sick for about a week, and,
ing to general report, not love sick, at
least with his appointed wife. Tiieir
married life, however, has not been un
so far a 3 the world knows, except
through the extraordinary misfortunes
which made Carlotta and Stephanie
widows of the house of Austria.—•
Drake’s Magazine,
Making Pearls,
It is reported that a French savant, M.
Bouchon-Baroudeiy, has devised a
method for the artificial manufacture of
real pearls. The process adopted is
simply to bore holes in the shell 3 of a
pearl oyster with a gimlet, introducing
through these perforations little balls of
glass, and stopping them hermetically
with corks. After four weeks’time the
balls of glass are found to be covered
with a thin layer of pearl. In six months
the layer has become of a efficient
thickness to be permanent, and the bi^
ness of the jewel thus manufactured is
in proportion to the period allowed to
elapse. Of course,this has its limitation,
inasmuch as the mollusk will not deposit
nacre indefinitely, its only object being
to protect itself from irritation by the
intruder. The expert quoted believes
that pearls can be made of various colors
to order by selection.—Picayune.
