Materials of Which the Emblem Is Gen- erally Made. No wreath has been so sung by poets and rhymesters as that which graces the head of the bride on her wedding day. says the New Yc Advertiser, and in most countries the myrtle is closely associated with the bridal wreath. The latter has become a sym bol of true womanliness, of purit mind and soul, anc even Schiller is among those who have sung its praises. | 1 In the time of the Old Testament the Jews saw in the myrtle a sign of what, | for them, precious. they were among the Gri rose were considered the f ers of Venus, the ess of love gardens of myrtle were planted in her honor, with beds of roses, the red rose and the green myrtle representing the union of love and v Nov the myrtle has, however, several In America, in England, in France autiful and nd for which was most the promised | adays. tu in Poland the ange 1 som reigns supreme; in | the whi has taken the p of evergre and fragrant myrtle wreath.

In some countries or distriets the veil is used without the wreath In the prevince of Dalarne, in Sweden, the bride wear e cloth rourd her head, and in several countries the bridal wreath has, in the course of time, taken the shape of a more or less elaborate headgear or wedding crown. This is the case in Norway and in several places in Germany In Alten- burg it takes the shape of a red velvet cap, round which ren thirteen silver rings, from which are suspended a number of silver and gold plates and coins. A vei 1a profusion of float- ing silk ribbons in gay colors complete the bridal crown. In Denmark the myrtle is universally used for bridal wreaths, together with a long white veil. Many families possess myrtle trees, which have for quite, a genera- tion or more furnished the myrtle wreaths for the brides of the family. STRANGE PEOPLE. A Tribe in India Which Mas Some Pe- culiar Beliefs. Seattered over the breezy downs of the Nilgherries, in the little villages of wicker houses that look at a little distance like nothing in the world so much as a colony of beehives, lives a community of six or seven hundred people, who are variously believed to be the descendants of one of the lost tribes of Israel, the aborigines of southern India and a community of Manichasens. They believe in a strange trinity and a hell, a dismal stream full of leeches, and this they must cross*by means of a single thread. The soul, burdened with sin, is too heavy for this slender support and the sinner falls into the stream, but the thread sustains easily the souls of the good. a Toda, for that is the name of the sin- gular tribe, is as odd in its way as its religious belief. His body is wrapped inanew cloth and his toes tied to- gether with a red thread. Grain, sugar, tobacco and money are wrapped in his funeral toga to provide him for his journey across the Styx and the dark plain beyond. Two buffaloes are slain beside the corpse and the dead man’s hands are placed upon their horns. A piece of his skull, his hair and his finger nails are removed to be used later on at the great celebration of the death of all those who during the twelve months have “‘taken the leap over the precipice into the bottomless abyss.” When these tokens are removed clarified but- ter is smeared on the fragrant wood of the funeral pyre and the body is burned to ashes and the ashes scattered to the four winds. A Terrible Tree. That awful Indian bugaboo, the “witeched tree of Calcutta.” stands on the Stanley road, a few miles out from Caleutta, India. It is not a botanical freak of the nnibal” or *bloodsuck- ing” variety, neither is it a tree which exhales poisonous vapors or other deadly elements—it is simply a species of churail which the natives and not a few of the English residents believe to be bewitched. Away back in the six- teenth century Serega Dowlah and twenty-two of his men camped under it about two o’clock one morning, and at daylight all but two were dead. One of the survivors remained a chattering idiot all the rest of the days of his life, and the other died a terrible death within the month of a terrible erup- proportions. tury the tree claimed a score or more of victims. The last victim was a serv- ant of Mr. Kemp, of the British de- partment. He took refuge under the cursed tree to escape a storm. A sow- ar, or mounted policeman, tried to res- cue the servant, but the two men and horse were found dead next day. Since 1860 five persons have been the “witched tree. Primitive Telegraphy. of telegraphy the galvanic battery in- vented by Volta, in 1800, was Dr. Samuel T. Von Soemmering, of Mu- nich. He employed the energy of a powerful voltaic pile to decompose water by means of thirty-five gold pins immersed in an oblong glass trough. Each of these pin electrodes was in connection with thirty-five wires forming the telegraph line. The bub- bles evolved by these electrodes were received in figured and lettered tubes 2orresponding to eath pin and the mes- Sages were thus spelled out. In 1810 he telegraphed over two miles of wire by this primitive method. As each Separate pin was immersed it decom- that | posed a certain portion of water and sent bubbles through its lettered or naumbcred tube. - The funeral of tion that swelled his body out of all In the seventeenth cen- struck by lightning within 100 feet of The first person to apply to purposes CLAY BEDS OF AMBOY.

Such is the raw material, which is eventually turned out in most beautiful shapes for deco- rating houses and for other purposes of agricultural ornamentation. This work at present employs artistic skill of the very highest order. The de- signs are made by sculptors of the first rank, who consider it not beneath their dignity, any more than did Michael Angelo, to expend their genius upon the adornment of buildings. In fact, many of the objects of art in terra cotta which now grace private dwell- ing and publie edifices seem almost too admirable, inasmuch as they cannot be seen closely enough to be admired as they deserve. FACTS ASOUT THE HEART. Interesting Statist Showing the Vast Amount of Work That Organ Does. The human heart is a hollow muscle of aconical form placed between the two lungs and inclosed in the pericar- dium or heart sac, says Leisure Mo- ments. The ordinary size of the heart in the adult is about five inches in length, three and one-half inches in breadth at the broadest part and two and one-half inches in thickness. Its weight is from ten to twelve; ounces in men and from. eight to ten ounces in women. Dr. | Benecke, of Marburg, has made) known his observations on the growth of the human heart, the fact appear- ing that the increase is greatest and most rapid during the first and second years of life, its bulk at the end of the second year being exactly double what it originally was. Between the second and seventh years it is again doubled in size. A slower rate of growth then sets in and continues during the period of maturity of other portions of the body. After the fifteenth year up to the fiftieth the annual growth of the heart is about .061 of a cubic inch, the increase ceasing at about the fiftieth | year. The heart, although so small, is | a wonderful piece of mechanism, and ! of great power. With each stroke or} beat it projects something like two! and a half ounces of blood into the | conduits channels of the body, } throwing it for a distance of nine feet. | This it does sixty-nine or seventy times | a minute. The number of its pulsa- tions varies in the sexes and according to posture. In the male it beats S81 times a minute when standing, 71 when sitting and 66 when lying. In the fe- male it is 91, 84, $0 in the similar posi- tions respectively. or WOMEN AS HUNTERS. There Is No Reason Why They Should Not Be Such If They Wish. Iam convinced that if woman finds | pleasure in killing fish or bird, she is perfectly entitled to so amuse herself, and the great, round, goggle-eyed world has no right to point at nor talk about her, says a writer in Outing. The few women who openly handle rod and gun as though they really knew the uses of the tools seldom fail to aequit themselves ditably; and, | best of all, in following their chosen pastimes they find what every man and woman wants above all earthly things —health of body and of mind. Long, dusty ages ago, from out the old blue clay was fashioned man, and after him was woman. She, the humorists tell us, has been after him, more or less, ever since; and, in my humble opinion, the more she is after him in the line of field sports the better for the gentler sex. There is noevil in the wilds as nature made them; there is wondrous truth in the sermon of stones and streams, in the whisper of wind-stirred foliage, in the ripple of waters and the sigh of swaying pines. There is health and purest pleasure in store for those who follow the windings of musical trout-brook, or tramp long, breezy miles behind staunch dogs—should not woman enjoy these things? She may mever acquire the art of lagging a great flask of rye along during outings; she may never master the intricate problem of throwing responsibility of misses upon the gun or the ammuni- tion—she may not even learn to lie freely and persuasively about the num- ber of fish she caught or of the size of those that got away, but she can be a sportswoman true, and the sooner she realizes this fact the better.

The person must then be directed to fix the mind on the object he is gazing at. His pupils will first contract, then dilate considerably, and after they are well dilated the first and secend finger of the operator's right hand (extended and a little separated) should carried from the object toward the patient's eye.

INDIANS AT A PHONOGRAPH. Listening toa Reproduction of the Tri! War Song. Wind-in-the-Face, chief of a bar} of Flathead Indians camped near Mis- soula, wandered into a store recently and in his inspection of the stock came across a phonograph, which stood in one corner of the room. He examined the machine very curiously, says the Anaconda Standard, and by signs and grunts inquired its use. Af- ter considerable persuasion he was in- duced to sing into the receiver the war chant of his tribe. e began witha low, monotonous ‘ya-he-ya, ho,” but warmed to his work as he pro- bes | ceeded, and got in some fancy move- ments as he neared threatened to dislo the end which the machine. ate , After he had coneluded the attach- ments were changed and connections were made so that Wind-in-the-Face and his attendant braves could hear the production of the song. Gravely and somewhat suspiciously they in- serted the tubes in their ears and waited the result. As the sounds of the chant that for ages had incited their forefathers battle reached their ears they were at first thorough- to {ly alarmed, and muttered something about “bad medicine phatie * but as the em- tones of their chicf coming from the little wax cylinder rang out the tocsin they became enthused and kept time to the alleged music with feet and bodies until it seemed as if a war dance was to be executed then and there. But they didn't leave the machine until the chant was ended, and then they almost hugged each other in their delight. and even at- tempted to embrace Mr. Hartley, to his terror. They wanted more, and a eylinder was inserted that gave them “Drill, Ye Terrier: This pleased them immensely, and they laughed as heartily as an Indian ever laughs, though they probably did not under- stand a word of the song. They now regard Mr. Hartley as a great medi- cibe man and want to adopt him into their tribe. HOW THEY TOLD THEM APART. Soft Loited Eggs on the Square and Hard Boiled on the Oval. “In a country hotc! where I stepped for supper,” said a traveler, ‘I saw on the table“ some boiled eggs. As [reached for them the waitress said: “Do you like them hard or soft boiled?” oft,” I said. ‘The soft boiled are dish,’ said the waitress. “Then, as I looked the other way on the table, I saw another dish of eggs. But they looked precisely ke those in the first dish, and I wondered how in the other should ever get mixed up. As long as they were kept at the ends of the table where they were first placed it would be very simple; but suppose some po- lite guest should say tohis neighbor: “Will you have the eggs” And suppose the man should say: ‘Yes, thank you,’ and take them, and suppose one dish should in this way work along the table until it was alongside the other; or, for that mat- ter, suppose the dishes should change places, as they might easily do, who could tell then which was hard and which soft? I found myself rather amused by this idea. and I asked the waitress how they could tell which was which. “Why, the'soft boiled are in the square dish and the hard boiled are in the oval dish.” “Then I stopped talking for quite a spell, for it seemed clear to me that I was in some things not an intellectual erick, the elector palatine, who held the office stated, but for ages after his time its duties were performed by a deputy.
