THE MODERN STONE AGE.
Many Implements Made of This Material
Still 'Used in Virginia.
All over our country we find many in
teresting relics of the Indians. Stone
spearheads, arrowheads, hammers, chi
sels, knives, scrapers, etc., together with
pottery, some of burned or baked clay,
some cut from soft stone, as slate, steatite,
etc. Similar remnants of the so-called
stone agoof mankind are found in nearly
every portion of- the globe, and, besides
their interest as curious survivals of a
bygone •- time, they aid us toward a dis
covery of the prehistoric man. It is'
hardly of less interest, or of less historic
or scientific value, to note how the stone
age still survives among us to no little
extent.
Here in Virginia, for instance, many
people still scald their slaughtered hogs
in hogsheads or barrels, as onr barbarian
progenitors boiled their meat in skins, by
heating stones,and putting them into the
water until it is hot enough for the pur
pose. The stones ordinarily used in this
way are roundish, hard, and very heavy
black.j or brown modules, sometimes
called “negro heads,’’ or iron stones,
although they are compressed lava, up-
heaved in strata tlixough crevices in the
rock crust of the earth at remote periods
of geological time.
We sometimes encounter stones that
are hollowed out in the center, often to a
socket, and these not infrequently are
treasured by their finders as an ancient
Indian stone for mashing or grinding
corn, with the aid of a stone pestle; yet
they are nothing more nor less, for the
most part, than discarded stones once
used’by our rural brethren for their gates
to swing upon—many gates in all parts
of the commonwealth being still thus
pivoted.
Many a housewife in remote country
regions still has her stone weights, more
or less rough, but honest; wherever the
old Kentucky rifle lingers there is likely
to be found still a set of soapstone bullet
molds; our log cabins yet have rough
stone and clay chimneys, where they are
not of mud and sticks; in many a humble
household a thin rock, not always
smooth, is the utensil for baking corn
bread; and the scone “mash trap” is
familiar to all our country boys. The
stone pipe, believed by many to have
gone out with the Indian, is made.and
used today by many colored folks and by
no few white folks. Whenever soap
stone, or steatite, is found, not only the
stone pipe, but many other articles sup
posed to he archaic, are still manufac
tured and put to service by the ingenious
and thrifty. In such localities stone
pans, stone troughs for children, etc., are
still common. Some day they will be
dug up and attributed to the Indians, or
even to their predecessors. A little in
quiry and investigation would show
much more of the stone age still here
than we have adverted to.
It is not rare to see stone sinkers in use
for lines, and nets in fishing; the flint is
not yet superseded wholly by the match;
(here are clocks in the land yet run by
stone weights; stone hovels, with dirt
roofs, are not unknown in our moun
tains; the colored ruffian, and sometimes
the white one, carries a stone in a stock
ing, along with his razor, when on the
warpath; many a cider press and tobacco
press are still made effective by stones
swung at the end of their lever; and our
small boys are all in their stone age
whenever they can give their natures full
and free play.
We are not -so far off from the stone
age man as some imagine; many of the
implements and relics supposed to be
prehistoric, and doubtless so in many
cases, have their modern duplicates, and
in some instances are all in use among
us.—Cor. Petersburg Index-Appeal.
Tli© Multitude of Millionaires.
Since the civil war millionaires (the
word means not .those having a million,
but those reckoning their wealth by mill
ions) have steadily multiplied. Many
men who were content to earn a decent
livelihood, who had never dreamed of
aught beyond a modest competence when
Sumter was fired on, now count their
income by hundreds of thousands. To
be a millionaire is to be conspicuous or
dinarily, but in New York there are
millionaires wholly obscure. They are
not known to be rich outside of their
narrow social circle, and will not be
until their obituary in the daily news
papers shall have mentioned the fact.
There are so many and so excellent op-
ortunities here for making money, to
im who has pecuniary perception, that
millionaires seem to spring up between
showers. You hear of a man grown
very wealthy whom you remember a
short time before as dependent on a sal
ary. You are not sure that the acquaint
ance you avoid, because he habitually
wishes to borrow, may not soon be one
of the monetary magnates of Fifth ave
nue.—Paul R. Cleveland in The Cosmo
politan.
Mammoth Japanese Crabs.
The greatest marine curiosity of Eno-
shima waters is the giant crab that
trundles along a body as large as a
turtle’s, and sweeps out claws that meas
ure ten feet from tip to tip. Formerly
the fishermen threw* these creatures back
into the sea when they found their nets
tangled up with them, but of recent
years they clean the shells and sell them
for foreign museums; The giant crabs
are said to promenade the beach at night,
and one version gives them phosphores
cent eyes. If imagination cannot supply
a picture of those crabs on the beach, it
is all detailed in “Allan Quatermain. ”
Rider Haggard, in his careful owning up
to where he found the original of the re
markable things in that book, owns to
having read somewhere about these hor
rible crabs, and so borrowed them to put
in the canyon into which his canoe load
of heroes emerged after their under
ground baptism of fire. These crabs and
the six foot cucumber are the few things
in nature in Japan that are enlarged.—

HOW GAS IS MADE.
A Simple Explanation of the Way Illu
minatin'; Gas Is Made.
How few people can intelligibly explain
some of the most ordinary things in
every day life. An official of the city
gas works was heard to say not long ago
that if he might judge by the number of
times he was asked for information, not
more than two people in ten know
how common illuminating gas is made.
They all seem to understand, he said,
that it comes out of soft coal, but they
are ignorant of the process by which it is
extracted. We do not doubt this at all,
for it is the common things that we are
apt to overlook in our search for infor
mation.
Now, let us give you a simple explana
tion of gas making. Break up a piece of
bituminous coal into small fragments and
fill the bowl of a clay tobacco pipe with
them. Cover the mouth of the bowl
with wet clay and then thoroughly dry
it. Put the bowl of the pipe into a fire
where it will get red hot, and you will
soon see a yellowish smoke come out of
the stem, and if you touch a light to the
smoke it will burn brightly, for it is
nothing more or less than the gas from
the coal.
You can purify and collect this gas in
a, simple way. Fill a bottle with water
xnd turn it upside down in a bowl of
water. You know the water will not
run out of the bottle because the air pres
sure on the water in the bowl will pre
rent it. Put the end of the pipe stem
jndcr the mouth of the bottle, and the
gas will bubble up through the water into
the bottle, gradually displacing the water,
mil if the pipe were large enough to
aiake a great deal of gas the bottle would
be entirely filled with it.
You have seen the immense quantities
)f coke which they have at the gas
works; that is what is left of the coal
after the gas has been burned out of it.
Coke is carbon, only a small part of what
was in the coal having gone off with the
gas. Take the clay covering off your
pipe and you will find the bowl filled
with this coke.
Now, that is precisely the way gas is
made in large quantities at the gas works.
Instead of pipe bowls they use big re
torts, and these are heated red hot by
furnace, for the fire must be outside of
the retorts. Heating coal red hot in a
closed retort is different from burning it
in the open air. A large pipe from the
retort carries off the product of the coal,
consisting of steam, tar, air and ammo
nia, as well as gas. The ammonia and
the tar go into tanks, and the gas into
coolers, and then over lime, which takes
up the acids in it into the immense iron
gas holders which you have seen at the
works.
These holders are open at tire bottom,
and stand, or rather swing, in tanks of
water, being adjusted by means of
weights. As the gas comes into them
thej- rise up out of the water, but the
bottoms are Always submerged, so tliat
the gas cannot escape. The large gas
pipes, or mains as they are called, con
nect with the holders and conduct the
gas through the streets to the houses
where it is used. The pressure is given
to the gas by the weight of the iron hold
ers, which are always bearing down on
the gas they contain.
How to Live Long.
Milk is not always admirable as a din
ner drink, especially when fish plays any
part in the menu. Tea or coffee taken
with meat is simply suicidal. These hot
beverages turn the meat into something
resembling leather, and the result inter
feres sadly with digestion. The man who
desires long life must not give a place to
“high tea” in his daily programme. Of
tea itself it can only be said that it is
harmless if not taken too often or made
too strong. The American lady who
after several calls and a cup of tea at
each remarked that she could “always
worry down another cup” was probably
unaware of the mischief she was doing
herself. No one need totally abstain
from tea if they only take the precaution
to buy it good, not to make it strong, not
to let it infuse long, never to take it
more than twice a day and to abjure it
after o in the afternoon.
The morning tub is indispensable to all
who wish to live a long and healthy life.
It is true that there have been centena
rians who have known nothing of this
luxury, but their longevity has been in
spite of that fact, not because of it. The
bath is good, but not too much bath.
Walking is good, but it must not be over
done. Dickens overdid it. Most of us,
however, underdo it, and scarcely walk
enough. Flesh accumulates upon us in
middle age because we do not take suffi
cient exercise, and then we give up long
walks because we are stout and conse
quently lazy, thus reversing the process
of cause and effect. The health suffers
seriously, and a way is opened to many
maladies.—Cor. London News.
Wild Horse of the Plains.
So much has been written of the horse
of the plains, which, foaled upon the
dew kissed grass of the prairie, has never
known a halter or the touch of a man’s
hand, that descriptive reference to their
fieetness. wariness and oftentimes their
graceful beauty, particularly among the
stallions, would at this day lack interest.
But one curious fact is known to but
few aside from those who have followed
them for hundreds of miles and studied
their habit! closely. If there are enough
in a band these animals group by thir-
teens. With every stallion there are
twelve mares. What becomes of the
weaker males whom the stronger fight
away—whether they bide their time to
get the quota of females or. in the des
pondency of equine bachelorhood, go off
alone and starve themselves—is not
known. The matrimonial regulations of
the wild horse, however this may be,
allow to each male ^twelve consorts,
and, the remarkable feature is, no more.
They draw the line at an even dozen.
Even when the bands that roamed these
great plains, then tenantless except by
other wild creatures, numbered in the
hundreds and more than a thousand this
peculiar division into famifies-was plainly
noticeable! They kept a littie apart and
never voluntarily mingled. —Colorado

STRANGE SCENES IN JAPAN.
First Impressions—The Common People.
A Strange Festival—Japanese Women.
In Yokohama is a long boulevard called
the “Bund, ” bounded at each end by a
jetty or pier called the “Hatoba,” with a
pleasant wooded bill to the left known as
the “Bluff,” dotted with white houses.
The harbor or bay itself is a circle of
water perhaps three miles wide—big
enough at any rate to be so rough in
windy weather that the ships have to get
up steam and go to sea for safety.
To come now to “first impressions;”
there are, of course, two kinds of these.
There are the mere sense impressions,
the things which strike the eye and ear
as strange, and there are the “first im
pressions,” which mean the conclusions
springing to the mind when the exter
nals are first understood. The former
class of these “first impressions” gener
ally attach themselves to very trivial
matters, but they are often not the less
entertaining for all this. The first thing,
for instance, that I noticed in Japan was
the enormous hats of the coolies, and
next the ludicrous combinations of
European and foreign dress worn by
many young, members of the middle
class. A pot hat, a cotton wrapper or
bath gown—the yukata—a pair of long
stockings and boots—that was a common
mixture, the wearer evidently and
rightly thinking that he had adopted the
best points of both systems. An
hour after landing, too, a re
mark made to me by an educated
Japanese gentleman on the Belgic
recurred to me. I had asked him if the
coming constitution for Japan was likely
to include trial by jury. “After you
have seen Japan,” he replied, with a
smile, “you won’t ask that question. ” I
mean by this that I was struck with the
fact that the common people of Japan,
courteous and clever and civilized as
tkey are in many ways—the hewers of
wood and drawers of water and pullers
of jerinkishas—are upon a different plane
from the common people at home. One
might say that they live in two dimen
sions, whereas trial by jury, not in its
origin, but in its significance today, is a
three dimension idea. Moreover, the
rulers of Japan see that trial by jury is
often a failure or a farce with us, and
they have no wish to educate the people
up to it.
In Japan there are almost as many re
ligious festivals as in Spain, and one of
these—rnatsuri is their generic name—
was being celebrated the other day in the
Japanese town. I went to look for it
with my detective camera, and when I
met it I could hardly believe my eyes—
it corresponded more to one’s idea of New
Guinea than of Japan. Upon an ordinary
bullock cart a raised platform and scaf
folding twenty feet high had been con
structed, and bullock and all covered
with paper decorations and green boughs
and artificial flowers. In front a girl
with a grotesque mask danced and post
ured, while half a dozen musicians
twanged impossible instruments and kept
up an incessant tattoo on drums. Chil
dren wild with delight crowded up
among the performers and clung like
flies all over the cart, and only that
Providence which takes care of them, to
gether with drunkards and the United
States of America, preserved them from
making a Juggernaut of it. On foot
around the baslii, as the whole structure
is called, were twenty or thirty men,
naked as to their legs, their faces chalked,
with straw hats a yard wide, many col
ored tunics, in which, scarlet predomi
nated, decked out with paper streamers
and flowers enough to make a Sioux
chief despair of himself, dancing along
to. a very rude chant and at every step
banging upon the ground a long iron bar
fitted with loose rings.
The colors, the song, the dance, the
music and the clanging iron formed to
gether a spectacle as barbarous in taste
as possible, something wholly different
from what one had supposed the gentle
culture of the Japanese to be. At the
time I was greatly puzzled, but subse
quently I learned that this matsuri is not
so barbarous as it looks. I took it to be
a serious religious ceremony. I found
that it had just as much to do with relig
ion as an Italian carnival has—that is,
it was born of religious feeling and has
entirely forgotten its ancestry. Bud
dhism, which is the religion of the com
mon people, lias always played to the
gallery, so to speak, and the priests of
today make money out of the matsuri,
partly in the shape of the coins which
are thrown into the temple ponds and
partly from their share of the subscrip
tions of the well to do people of the neigh
borhood, by whom the festival is sup
ported. The affair is thus a Japanese
carnival, where people drink sake and
play the fool themselves or watch others
doing so, exactly as at Nice or Venice.
No account of “first impressions,” too,
would be complete without an illusion to
the grace and charm of the Japanese
women. The first time one sees a couple
of pretty and prettily dressed Japanese
girls walking abroad under their huge
variegated paper umbrella, with their
elaborately dressed black hair, their per
fect tiny hands and feet, their large
brown eyes—set obliquely if they are
“beauties:” with their delicate, soft
toned ci 'Vt* garments, and the heavy flat
silk obi Dvisted round and round their
waist and ending in a colossal how be
hind; with their funny motion on their
clip-clapping pattens, half undulating
run and half waddle, and their merry
laughter and chatter—when one sees
them for the first time, I say, one is
usually delighted enough to follow them
up and down for half an hour under a i
fine pretense of losing one’s way or look- |
ing into the shops. At least I did, till I j
succeeded in getting a snap photograph ;
of them.—Yokohama Cor. New York

An Exercise for Health.
If you are troubled with too much
blood in the head, the best thing you can
do for a simple remedy is to take the
twisting movements of the trunk at the
waist. Keep the feet firm, turn the
trunk as far as possible to the right—till
you face right—four times; the same to
the left; then alternate the movements.
Next, ber.d the body strongly and slowly
to the right, from the waist, then to the
left. Again bend forward as strongly
as possible, from the waist, then Slightly
back, at first, increasing on the back
movement later, as you are able.—Mary
E. Aden in Youth’s Companion,

fied with ready-made fans, but must

could not sleep from a violent itching and sting

of the physicians who treated it. Ilcr husband
began finally giving Ids wifeSwift’sSpecific. and
she commenced to improve almost immediately,
and in a few weeks she was apparently well. She
is now a hearty, line-looking lady, with r.o trace
