The slayers hurried with three heads. The fast night out the head hunters j always sleep near their own kapong. | and early next morning, while it is i still dark, they come singing. The peo1 ulf of the kaninons: awake, array them i selves in their best finery and go to meet them, the wo-un wearing their newest skirts and bringing pieces of | cloth to present to the conquerors. A ! head^is carried suspended from the ; conqueror's neck until it is taken from j him by a woman, who gives him a j piece of cloth to wear instead, posJ sibly as a badge of heroism. It makes no difference whether this service is performed by his wife, by another woman or by another man's wife. Heads are then hung from a beam in the house of the kapala. and the cloths j are returned to the women. The head ; hunters must take their food apart ' from their associates, and in the presence of the heads they have taken. At meais a pinch of rice is put into a hole made with a spear point in the top of the skull, and the head is addressed in certain words: "Eat this rice. Don't lie angry. Tal? care of 1 me. Make this body of :u ae well." I During the period of r. ?: : i-.iions imi posed upon the hunters ' heads re: main in the same place, sharing the meals in this manner. After twelve days no more food is offered the heads. j SATISFIED WITH THE SARONG 1 Women of Ceylon Refuse to Worry : Over the Decrees Put Forth by Dame Fashion. % | The women of Ceylon do not how j the knee to Dame Fashion, but are content with the sarong?oiie long t ! ? -a 1 fl?i i siny ui cuiiun wuuuu xuuuu mc | body?which is all most of the women 1 of Kandy wear. The sarong was all that the majority of women asked in the days when Kandy formed the background for the pageantry of an ori e:Jtal court. Kandy was the last ! stronghold of the Sinhalese rulers. I Portuguese and Dutch tried tn vaifl | Co subdue the city and the little moun! tain kingdom; but the way to Kandy I was through narrow passes, surrounaI ed by jungles. Many lives were lost in vain assaults. For 20 years after i the British took Ceylon the last kins; I of Kandy successfully resisted i^va; sion. Finally, in 1S35, he was <:*pI tured and sent into exile. The t? ioi pies and palaces and royal tombs j Kandy speak of the old days of splendid show. Eut they are silent concerning the intrigue and treachery and cruelty and extortion that blackeued the last years of Singalese rule in Ceylon. Those dark years are forgot' Iph nmr. Life runs sinoothlv under wise government. Poets of the Sea. It seems that the sea is an AngloSaxon heritage. English literature reflects it, and its moods have ever been portrayed in English verse. To the North, the Scottish bards sang of their own wild headlands and skerries, to the South, the Devons followed Drake and Frobisher to the Seven Seas. Surprisingly, some of the world's greatest poems are epics of open water. The Odyssey. l'or Instance, and the Aeneid. In those days, Greece apd Rome were the m vitime nations Ui LliC rill III, iuiu liiCU iUiiiauvt \j*. conquest and cf commerce found ready expression ii :lieir literature. Nowadays, the Angio-Saxons hold the shipping of the seas, and sea songs seem as Inevitable to English poets ?and to some Americans?as romantic rondels and sonnets did te the old Gallic schoo2.?Christian Science Monitor. Nine Million Eggs a Year! If only the hen could, emulate the fish in the matter of laying eggs! The cod tops the list with nine million annually, then comes the sturgeon with seven and a half million. Another great producer is the flounder, which just touches the miliit*). The mackerel deposits half a mOlion eggs thti perch four hundred thousand, white the humble herring is ^.'tent with a paltry ten thousand. are generally deposited in s- ul. *y gravel, though the fish which .. bed of the ocean attach thei. s to aea? weed.

J MONSTERS OF DISTANT PAST ; Proof Th?i Birds Capable of Lifting and Carrying Off FulI-Grov/n Men Once Existed. J'ecent scVntifie discoveries In vnri. ous parts oi the world go to prove that ; in UTn-*s ! :rjg gone by there were birds j big to lift a man into the air ; with<" ' liiculty, observes a London ; Tit-I writer. ; It .s well known that an eagle with ' : a five-feet spread of wings ran lift a ; lamb weighing ten pounds, and that a I bkd can generally lift one-half m?>re | than frs ">*,vn weight. Many of the eno: ' birds of. ancient times j weig!>-'- many hundreds of pounds. i and some or tnem nau a spread or i wind's which would cover a present; day street car. ; : There once lived in the Rocky inoun| tains of America a race of parrots I seven feet high. One nearly complete ' : skeleton ' of this remarkable species ; has been preserved, and fragments of ; others have recently been dug up. These parrots are supposed to have i j trodden the earth about 3,000,000 | years ago. I Another amazing creature was a I running bird of prey of the heron fam: ily. It had a head larger than that of ; i a horse, with a huge sharp beak, and . ; ' was eight feet high. Like the parrot, ; it could not fly to any height, as its i wings were not large enough to sup- . port it. i In the island of Madagascar there : i used to be an enormous bird called ! i j the aep.vornis. This creature was ten , ' j feet high and laid eggs thirteen inches ; j long and three feet in circumference. ! ! It is supposed to have become extinct j j only little more than a centiu-y ago. Although the aepyornis must have ' i i been a sufficiently awe-inspiring sight, j j the "giant moa" of New Zealand, i | which stood 14 feet high and weighed I | at least half a ton, must have been j ; even more so. ] FINGER PRINTS NEVER CHANGE ' j Not Even the Smallest Variation Takes Place From Infancy to Extreme Old Age. The use of finger prints as a means i ^ of identification was first made prac- I tical and put into operation by Sir ^ | William Hersehel of the Indian civil i service in the police department of I Bengal. The lineatiMiis of the thumb : and fingers have, h-> vev.-r, attracted : the atention of scientists for at least J a century. J The ridges and patterns are of four . ; primary types. First, arches, in which i j the ridges run from one side to the j other, but make no backward turn; < second, loops, in which some of the j ridges make a backward turn but are devoid of twists; third, whirls, j In which some of the ridges make a i >| Turn tnrougn ai ieusi one compic-ie ? J circuit; and fourth, composite, where ' two or more of the first three patterns nre combined in the same imprint. It has been demonstrated that these ! ! Assigns persist unchanged in the small- : est detail throughout the individual's t life, and that there are no two persons whose imprints are identical. The design on the fingers of a new-bom Infant are easily recognizable in the same person in old age. i ~ i ' i Key to Egyptian Hierogryphics. 1 The Hosetta stone, one of the most celebrated archeological discoveries of 1 modern times, is famous for being the I key whereby the decipherment of the ! Vvvr.r^ MMmfrlvnhifs was made nos- ! 1 ...v. vovr? * j eible. It * as found in 1709 near Ros- < | erta. I^ypt, by an officer of engineers i In thv -French army, which was then | in occupation of that country. j ! The stone is a slab of black basalt, ! end bears an inscription In honor of . j Ptolemy Epiphanes, written in three hr.; ?Greek, demotic and hieroj plyAs the three inscriptions are j of identical significance, the Greek 1 j made easy the deciphering of the i others. Until the discovery of the stono j [ archeologists had no key to Egyp- j tian hieroglyphics, but since that ! time all of Egypt's sculptured litera- : ture has been read with ease and j much valuable information given to I ( the world. I His Mistake. The editor of a magazine which is i , | published by a New York bus com- j pany offers a prize each month for the \ best story turned in by an employee ; of the company on any topic pertain- ! lug to company affairs. Here is the one which \vun this month: "One scat on top and one inside." j , shouted a bus conductor at a stoppin? , place. "Sure, now, and you wouldn't be ; ofter separatin' a daughter from her i i mother," said the elder of two women ; I on the sidewalk. "Right ye are, I would not," said ; the conductor, starting the bus. "I i i did that once an' I've been refirettin' : it ever since."?Cincinnati Times- ' Star. ! | ~ i ] Predicted the Phonograph. i A prophecy of the phonograph may I | be found in Cvrano do Hergerat's j i j "Voyage to the Moon." Cyrano's im- j ' j aginary traveler tells of a wonderful ; i book presented to him by a lunar in- ; , | habitant, which had neither leaves nor ; j letters, a book made wholly for j ; | the ears and not for the eyes, j j "When anybody has a mind to read it, j he winds up that machine with a great : . i many little springs, tnen ne uiros tl:e hand to the 'mpter which he i desires, and straij. s ^rom the month ] i of a man. or a u< s' <*> instrument, , proceed all rlie dist r different sounds vrhich all th i.. :.r grandees make use of for expressing Lhs& $b?U?hts instead of language." ^ < ( Miss Maude Fulmer The State. Little Mountain, June 8.? Miss; Maude Fulmer, a beloved young woman of this place, died Wednesday afternoon at 7 o'clock after a short, illness of typhoid fever. Miss Fulmer was an operator for the local telephone exchange and was ever kind, courteous and considerate.' Her voice had become familiar to the hundreds of people whom she faith- [ fully served. In her home she wasj a dependable daughter and sister. Toi her friends she was a woman of many j fine traits of character and of a lov-j ing disposition. Funeral services were conducted; Thursday afternoon at Holy Trinity Lutheran church, of which she was a loyal and consistent member, by her pastor, the Rev. J. J. Long. Inter-! ment was in the Little Mountain cemetery. The many floral designs bore testimnoy to her popularity and to the esteem in which she was held. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Fulmer, and the fol-j lowing brothers and sisters: Keister and Ward Fulmer of Columbia, Mrs. Leland Hartley of Lexington and Henry, Heyward and Catherine Fulmer of Little Mountain. "Many Friends" who bring out a candidate are usually one man and that man the candidate himself. One of the pleasantest experiences of life is meeting a fellow to whom even your oldest stories are new. ESTATE NOTICE The creditors of the estate of E. P.!
