was one of two of the same shape and

ses the Great at the entrance of the
temple of Thebes. Mohammed All,
pasha of Egypt, presented It to the
French government, and In 1830 It
was removed to its present position In
the Place de la Concorde. The re¬

quired an outlay of £80,000 and the
employment of 800 men, the obelisk
being transported to France In a ves¬

The Place de la Concorde is rich In

guillotine was erected In the “reign
of terror,” after the dcath of Louis
XVI, and It was there that the signal
was given for the attack on the Bastille
in 1789. Louis XVI and Marie An¬

and It was the scene of great rejoic¬

day when he saw an enormous rattle¬
snake stretched In a furrow of a cot¬

by and made a pass at the monster.
At the same time it struck out at him
and broke off one of Its fangs on the
edge of the hoe blade. My uncle dis¬
patched the snake and then picked up
the fang and brought it to the house
as a curiosity. It was sharp as a

Cardl, young girls occupy the most
honored place. They are at regular
periods offered up to the gods, and in¬
stead of shrinking from this horrible
doom they accept it with pride and
gratitude. Nothing Is refused to these
girls while they are alive. If one of
them sees a handsome dress or orna¬
ment - on a woman and expresses a de¬
sire to Uave It, the woman must give It
to her. Men are also sacrificed, though
not for religious reasons, and they
welcome death as eagerly as the girls.
Count de Cardl once tried to save one
of these victims, but Instend of thank¬
ing him, the man reviled him so bitter¬
ly for Interfering and scolded the by¬
standers so heartily for delaying to
carry out the scutenee that they
promptly stopped his mouth by killing
him.
The worst insult which one woman
can offer to another Is to hold out the
right hand In front of her with the in¬
dex and middle finger forming the let¬
ter V. This means, “You will become
the mother of twins.” When twins are
born in this region, they and their
mothers are killed, as a rule, and when
a mother dies in giving birth to a child
the lntter is also killed and buried with
her. It is not superstition Which im¬
pels the negroes to dispose of mother¬
less infants In tills heartless fashion,
but the great difficulty of rearing them.
Altogether, the Information which
Count de Cardl has gathered during
his residence of many years in this
portion of Africa Is of rare value, espe¬
cially to anthropologists.
Testing Rifle Barrels.
A rifle barrel held in a vise will not
shoot accurately. Tlie passage of a
bullet through the bore expands the
barrel, which *is to a certain degree
elastic. The expansion and return to
normal status are In undulating curves.
The pressure of the vise interrupts the
curves, chokes the barrel at the point
of pressure and probably deforms the
bullet In Its cross section. To test a
rifle rest the barrel near the muzzle
upon a bag filled with sand. The spring
of the barrel from the rest will cause
It to shoot one point higher than when
held offlinnd, an error that all riflemen
understand.
Your correspondent who advises -the
Vise test Is no rifleman.—Allen Kelly In

How to Give a Cat Medicine.
A New Y'ork gentleman has a very
fine Angora cat, and so fine a specimen
of her kind that she Is famous in a
large circle of fashionable folk. She is
not rugged In health, yet she cannot be
persuaded to take physic. It has been
put In ber milk, it has been mixed with
her meat, it has even been rudely and
violently rubbed In her mouth, but nev¬
er has she been deluded or forced into
•wallowing any of It. Last week a
green Irish girl nppeared among the
household servants. She heard about
the failure to treat the cat. “Sure,”
said she, “give me the medicine and
some lard, and I’ll warrant she’ll be
ating all 1 give ber!” She mixed the
powder and the grease and smeared it
on the cat's sides. Fussy at once licked
both sides clean and swallowed all the
physic. “Faith,” said the servant girl,
"everybody in Ireland does know how
to (Ire medicine to a cat I”

Lost Hut Stories.
The London Globe lias been collect¬

the following are specimens:

last iu setting the dripping child at his
father’s feet “And wlmt liae ye done
wT his hat?” said papa.
A correspondent sent the following
narrative: A festive bluejacket was
seen from a ship In Malta harbor danc¬
ing on the top of the parapet wall at
Fort Ricasoli. First his hat blew over,
and then, leaning over to look for it,
he lost his balance and fell after It—a
sheer drop of 30 feet or more. The
surgeon on duty was lauded with a
party to bring off the remains for
Identification. They found them crawl¬
ing about on hands- and knees and in¬
quired If he was seriously hurt. “Hurt
be blowed!” was bis reply. “Where’s
my hat?”
Only a Mlannileritandlng.
Several years ago. iu a well known
wholesale house in a big manufactur¬
ing town, an old bachelor bookkeeper,
who had been many years with tlie
firm, suddenly announced that he was
to be married.
The partners gave him a week’s holi¬
day, and his fellow clerks raised a
little purse and presented it to pay tlie
expenses of liis wedding trip.
A couple of days after the wedding
one of the members of the firm went
down to a seaside resort, and there,
lounging about tlie parade and ap¬
parently enjoying himself immensely,
he saw his recently married old book¬
keeper, but alone.
“Where’s your wife?” asked the prin¬
cipal.
“She’s at liouie,” was the reply.
“But I thought you had money given
you for a wedding trip?”
“So I had,” was the reply, “but 1
didn't understand that It was Intended
to include her.”—Pearson's Weekly.
The Word “Salary.”
The way languages are built up is
very Interesting, and the derivation of
the word “salary” is curious as well.
In ancient times Roman soldiers re¬
ceived a daily portion of salt as part
of their pay. “Sar Is the Latin for
salt, and when the salt was in course
of time commuted for money the
amount was called solarium, or salt
money; hence our word “salary” and
hence, doubtless, the expression “not
worth ills salt”—that is, not worth his
“salt money,” or salary.
Not Rentrleted.
“That gentleman who is being intro¬
duced to Miss Binks is a freethinker.”

er?”—Brooklyn Life.

DAIRYING IN GEORGIA.
18 J,oro Eucau Tlian
Kver Before.
The dairy outlook for 1900 is more en
raging in Georgia than for any tune
con engaged in
in the past and those now

confidence, Never before has this stat • j

reaching out for now methods and bet
ter equipment in every brauc-h of thi J
great industry, The dairy herds are
being continually improved, It is true
that there are yet many poor cows found
in the dairy herds, but the day of the
is passing.
We are finding out that only besr
Weeds are worth the keeping, and ueor

Suicide, and ( l-o.irnndi.
It has been suggested that suicides
were buried at crossroads because it
was usual to erect a cross at such
places. Those who were excluded from
holy rites were buried there as tlie
place next in sanctity to consecrated
ground. It was an old superstition
that the devil danced at crossroads
and that the erection of a cross thereat
would prevent such unseemly prac¬
tices. From this or some other super¬
stition, such as tlie fear that his ghost
might walk the earth, arose the cus¬
tom of driving a stake through the sui¬
cide’s body.
These plausible theories have gained
many advocates, but it is more likely
that burial at crossroads was intended
as a mark ftf indignity. The temples,
or rather altars, of tlie heathen Teu¬
tons were mostly at the junction of
crossroads. The place of execution
was there, and criminals were sacri¬
ficed to the gods; lienee suicides were
buried at tlie crossroads to give as
strong an impression as possible of
heathen burial. Probably, too, the pub¬
licity of such a spot, which insured the
fact that a great number of people
would become directly aware of the
degrading consequences of tlie crime,
had a good deal to do with its selec¬
tion.
A curious fact in this connection is
to be found In Plato’s Laws (book lx,
chapter his 12). The murderer of any of
near kin, after being put to death,
was “cast out of the city, naked, iu an
appointed place where three roads
meet, and let all the magistrates, iu be¬
half of the whole state, carry each a
stone and hurl it at the head of the
dead body.”
Straw Horseshoes.
Straw is put to strange uses In Ja¬
pan. Most of the horses are shod with
straw. Even the clumsiest of cart
horses wear straw shoes. In their
case tlie shoes are tied around tlie
ankles with straw rope and are made
of the ordinary rice straw, braided so
that they form a sole for the foot about
half an Inch thick. These soles cost
a half penny per pair, and when
they are worn out they are thrown
away. Every cart lias a stock of fresh
new shoes tied to the horse or to the
front of the cart, and iu Japan it was
formerly the custom to measure dis¬
tance largely by the uumber of horse¬
shoes it iiiii;^. cover the distance. Ko
