One of my companions, having mads

throe English florins which he desired to
have manufactured into one bangle of

the coins, cut . m into narrow ends pieces,

end of this strip of metal with damp clay,
to protect liis fingers from, the heat, the
bangle maker stuck the silver into the
diminutive charcoal fire, which he set
aglow by blowing through a tube similar
in appearance to a glass blower’s pipe.
When tho metal was at a dull red heat ho
beat it soundly, forging it round and
smooth to the diameter of telegraph circle, wire;

done, and the joint having been covered
with a rough mass of hot silver fashioned
into a ball of the size of a small cherry,
tho Hindu held out the half finished
trinket for our inspection and approval.
Ho next smoothed and polished the sur¬
face of the ball by hammering; then ho
graved and stamped it with various dies,

In a cocoanut shell, he plunged it into
the fire, and blew through his blowpipe
until the cobra became blood red. Pinch¬
ing the reptile’s tail between two bits of
moist clay, the Hindu drew it from the
fire, and, before it lost its angry hue,
deftly corkscrewed tho emblem of im¬
mortality around tho wire of the bangle-

We found a single valve made a
load for two men. The Spanish naval
officers, who seem, like other seafaring
people, to be given to telling large yarns,
tell of one off the south coast of Mindanao
which has long been noted for its great
size, and that tho officers of the steam
frigate Salamanca once planned to take
it home as a present to Queen Isabella.
They steamed down the coast until
they found the shell, dropped their
strongest hawser around it and put on all
the steam, but after somo time found
that instead of raising the shell the
steamer was gradually sinking, being
drawn under by the immenso weight.

in its bed, where they declare it may yet
be seen. Tho smaller species are found

valves lie gaping apart, and must be

Experience In Dreams.
There are some very remarkable tlungi
about dreams. In the first place they are
twice as real as reality. Did you ever
fall down stairs in dreams? If you have,
you must have observed that it is a much
more terrible experience than falling
down stairs when you are awake —except
that you don’t have the bruises to nurse
afterward. But tho mental exjierience
of falling down stairs in a dream is some¬
thing awful.—Cleveland Leader.
