REMARKABLE WEAPON.
Vtowpipe tied bj the Indlmm Sharp
■boaters ot Guiana Silcelr
Constracted.
There are two kinds of blowpipes in
use among the Indians of Guiana. The
first, called the poocoona, is made of
the oorah reed. This remarkable reed
is found in the Orinoco river only,
and then only at certain spots. The
oorah grows to a height of at least
30 feet, and the basal joint, of which
the blowpipe is made, is 14 or 15 feet
long, straight as an arrow and without
a knot, says Longman’s Magazine.
The Inside of the reed is as smooth
as glass, hence the facility with which
the dart traverses it. Very little of
the reed is cut away, so that the pipe
is about 12 feet long, and is so strong
that when held horizontally there is not
the least bend In it
The reed, having been carefully se
lected, cut and prepared, is inclosed
in a small, thin palm trunk, which is
split open for the purpose, scraped
thin as a wafer, and then rejoined with
the reed in the center. This palm, for
length, straightness and lightness, is as
remarkable as the reed. The whole pipe,
when finished, never weighs more than
1 Ys or 1% pounds. Both the mouth, or
muzzle, and the breech are bell mouthed,
the bell pieces being fixed on.
There are front and back sights, the
latter formed of the curved teeth of the
dasyprocta acouchi, a species of rodent
somewhat larger in size than a
wild rabbit. Two of the insicors of
this animal are fixed on the breech of
the pipe by means of wax. The teeth
being placed parallel to each other and
very close together, the sight is taken
between them. Sometimes the fore
sight is made in the same way, but it
more often consists of the single sharp
tooth of a fish. It is placed about a
foot back from the muzzle, the back
sight being affixed four feet along the
tube, so that it is a considerable dis
tance from the eye when aiming.
The missile used with this tube is
misnamed an arrow. It is really a
dart, scarcely larger than a large
darning needle, and with a point quite
as fine. The dart is made of the rib
of the coocooreete palm leaf, and is
so heavy that it will sink in water.
It is about seven inches in length, not
thicker than a large needle, and the
usual number that an Indian carries
with him when shooting is from 350
to 500, ready poisoned, but not pre
pared with the necessary cotton plugs.
These darts are strung together
something like the reeds on which
soft cheeses are placed, and then rolled
on a stick and carried in a quiver,
points upmost, it being requisite to
protect them from every chance of
being broken or dulled. To protect
the hand when handling them the top
of the stick is furnished with a small,
wheel-like shield.
The fine points are given to the darts
by means of the teeth of the devilfish
(serrasalmus pivava), and the cotton
with which they are plugged before
use is found growing wild. It is
bound to the base of a dart wdth
thread made of silk grass; this thread,
with wax obtained from several trees,
being largely used also in making the
blowpipe.
GROWTH OF INSANITY.
la the Large Cities It la Increasing
and Experts Demand a
Change.
What change can be made in city life
to stop its enormous production of in
sanity, yearly increasing?
Here is a question which is yet to be
solved, says the New York World. The
medical fraternity is at a loss for a gen
eral remedy; puzzled to find means of
overcoming the baneful effects of a
city’s activity on the general medical
condition.
London produces 70 lunatics a week
and New York is almost as bad, and It*
Increase Is greater proporionately. Ex
perts say that If it were not for the fact
that nature steps in and generally re
fuses to grant children after the fourth
or fifth generation conditions would be
far worse than they are.
"The outlook for the future is not
bright according to medical opinion, un
less the minds of the city people are bet
ter able within the next few generations
to adjust themselves to their progressiva
complicated environment, unless bal
ancing interests and mental habits are
developed to overcome the unnatural
nervous tension of city life.
So complicated is the enviornment of
those who live In great towns, so many
and so varied are the calls upon the
self-control and upon their efTort-mak
lng powers, that their mental machin
ery Is apt to become more complex, its
parts require more construction and ad
justment, and the whole machine is
more apt to get out of gear and to suffer
derangement than in the more primi
tive and less emotional life of even half
a century ago. It Lb not overwork that
is the determining cause of the disturb
ance or mental equilibrium, but carklng
care, worry and anxiety.
To the rich insanity is brought by in
dulgence in sensuous luxuries. To the
poor, who are at the mercy of every
economic crisis, whose financial circum
stances spell indifferent nutrition, ovei
crowdlng and unmoral surroundings,
the condition of modern life bring de
pression and despair. The natural re
sult is that they attempt to drown their
sorrows in the flowing bowl. Alcohol is
the cause of one-fifth of the insanity in
males and of more than half of that in
the weaker sex.

GREAT INVENTOR AT HOME.
A Visit to Thomas A. Edison—Housa
and Surrounding* Not a Bit
Lika the Man.
To one who knows anything at
all of Edison, the first glimpse of
his house and its surroundings
comes with a shock of surprise,
says Woman’s Home Companion.
Who would have suspected
that this most democratic of men
would have chosen for himself en
vironments so essentially aristo
cratic? He lives in the heart of
a splendid park, patterned after
the English idea of vigorous ex
clusiveness, its gates jealously
guarded by a lodgekeeper.
The interior of the house is in
keeping with the atmosphere of
the park without, quite unlike
Edison. The reception-room was
utterly different from what I ex
pected. The admirably draped
curtains, the tables and chairs ar
ranged wih an eye to artistic ef
fect, were not of Edison’s choos
ing. He cares too little for the
luxuries of life. This was his
wife’s work; it was all so wom
anly.
I heard quick footsteps behind
me, and Edison appeared, greet
ing me cordially and unaffectedly.
He was dressed in the queerest
of costumes—a long blouse that
reached to his heels, evidently of
his own pattern, serviceable and
ttTAnlr titAr»n
“Come along into the labora
tory,” he said.
So I followed him through the
dining-room and the “den” into
the laboratory that he has fitted
up for himself in his home.
There I found his little boy, his
shirt-sleeves rolled up, his face
and hands smeared like his
father’s. They had been making
various compounds of which lamp
black was the chief constituent.
“So you work on Sunday, too?”
Edison winked confidentially.
“You see, Mrs. Edison is away. I
can do as I like.”
That brought back to me a story
that I had once heard from a friend
of his—a story of how he works
night after night in his labora
tory, utterly absorbed in his ex
periments. Midnight comes and
goes, the gray dawn creeps in, and
still finds him bending over his
test-tubes and retorts, until at
last Mrs. Edison appears and
fondly leads him away to sleep.
I looked around the laboratory.
This at least was his room. There
were Bunsen burners, mortars
and pestles, glass rods, watch
crystals, bottles of chemicals
scattered about in bewildering
profusion. I watched him and his
boy while they worked, the boy
listening with rapt attention to
the teachings of his father.
A FORTUNE IN A POTATO.
Taber Raised by Scotchman and Sold
at High Price—Well-Named
the “Eldorado.”
No potato ever gained so much
notoriety as Eldorado, raised by
the famous Scottish raiser Mr. A.
Findlay, of Markinch. The very
name of the variety, says the Gar
aeners .Magazine, was a stroue or i
genius, for it is hardly possible
that the raiser, or those who had
the good fortune to secure some
of the first tubers distributed,
could have imagined that in so
short a time it would change
hands at such enormously high
prices.
Mr. George Massey, of Spalding,
was one of the very first to obtain
the stock, and from him Mr. Zach
ariah Gray, a well-known grower
at Everton, Sandy, purchased a
stone weight for £20. This set the
ball rolling, and as Mr. Findlay
resolved not to further distribute
Eldorado until the autumn of
1904, the demand for the small |
stock available was doubled and
trebled, and so the prices rose.
Messrs. Dennis, the Covent Gar
den salesmen, and Messrs. I. Poad
& Sons, of York, possessed sup
plies, and the latter firm found a
purchaser of four pounds at £150
per pound. This determined them
to obtain further stock, and so at
the Smjthfield club show a mem
ber of his firm found that Mr. Mas
sey had a limited stock for dispos
al and made him an offer of £1,000
for a stone. Mr. Massey refused
as he wanted £1,500, but eventn
ally the bargain was struck at
£1.400, to the satisfaction of both
parties. Subsequently Mr. Mas
sey sold a relatively Bmall quan
tity for £2,000, so that his o \jinal
transaction brought him
handsome return.
“NATURE NEVER GIVES UP.”
* A Phrase That Is Full of Meaning for
the Sick in Either Body
or Mind.
A phrase from a recent magazine
article is so suggestive and so full
of encouragement that it seems
worthwhile to make it the text for
one'of our small sermons, says
Woman’s Home Companion. The
phrase is: “Nature never gives
up.” You may with profit say this
over carefully and thoughtfully
and let its full meaning come to
you: “Nature never gives up.”
Nature is on the side of health,
and sanity, and consequent happi
ness. Hard as your case may be,
the great Mother is fighting the
battle with you. Has disease got
into your bones ? Nature has mar
shaled her forces to combat it,
and with marvelous strategy has
set engines to work which are en
deavoring to circumvent the en
emy. Nature is working in con
junction with the physician and
yourself. That is a thought
which ought to cheer you. You
have been imprudent, possibly—
have done and left undone. You
have taken such ill-care of your
God-given body that your friends
have set you down as hopeless or
worse. You have told yourself
that there is no hope for you. Na
ture has not given you up. She
wants you to live and work and be
healthy and happy and in the
event of your neglect of yourself,
she is still fighting for you. She
has no moral idea in doing this.
She just does it. Perhaps you de
serve to be given up. Many of us
do, it sometimes seems. But Na
ture is blind to that. Of course,
she is not all-powerful. She can
be overcome. She fails often.
But you will do well to remember
that in evefv case while there is
a spark of life left, she is trying.
Let that thought brace you. Buck
up, and give Nature some help.
I should like to think that we
could carry the analogy into the
moral world as well. Do you not
believe that there are forces as
yet unvalued which are fighting
the fight for good in the souls of
men? Bad a man or woman may
be—there is exterior pressure to
make him or her better. There is
law; there is education; there are
all the societies and institutions
whose object is to help the down
fallen and the unfortunate. But
are there not other forces, too?
Does not the great Mother of
Souls fight continually for the
spiritual health and sanity of all
people? The thought is comfort
ing, stimulating, encouraging. It
is the business of every individual
to add all his personal strength
to all encounters with evil, physic
al or spiritual. He can do so more
heartily and with better faith for
success if he remembers that “na
ture never gives up.”
INTERESTING CHILDREN.
Youngsters of Oriental Ministers at
Washington Never Heard of Christ
mas Before Coming Here.
There are in the foreign colony
in Washington quite a number of
children who never heard of
Christmas until they came to the
land of the free, says the Wash
ington Times. Among them are
the two sons and the daughter of
the Chinese minister, the young
sters of the Korean legation, and
Osman Sureya and Ali Haidas,the
black-eyed little sons of Chekib
Bey, the Turkish minister. When
Wu Ting-Fang was Chinese minis
ter he adopted the American
Christmas to the extent that his
young son was allowed to go to
the white house each Christmas
morning with a bouquet almost as
large as himself designed as a
token for the first lady of the
land. In the Chinese colony are
ieveral children who have been
enjoying an American Christmas
for some years past. These for
tunate youngsters are the chil
dren of Yung Kwai, the secretary
interpreter, whose wife is a New
England woman.

Pimples ?
