Slit Noses, Tattooed Bodies and Ois? tended Ears In Abyssinia. The people of the Gemira district of Abyssinia and'some of their curious customs have been described by Mr. George Montandon in the Geographical Journal: cc 4 _ _11 !i.: ivs wun an primitive peoples, the Gemira have customs peculiar to themselves, which are displayed in external traits, of which the principal are as follows: Even' infant suffers vertical incision on the root of the nose. The men bear on the forehead a broad tumor lined with vertical furrows, due to the fact that when a relative dies they strike their forehead with the blade of their lance. "A large number both of men and women have their chests and backs covered with tattoo marks, formed of simple cicatrices produced by punctures or cuts. The usual device is a triangle. The hair is cut in a singular manner. The head is divided into compartments and displays varying designs from the different lengths of hair in the several compartments. "Among the ornaments worn, those on the car attract the most atJ. fT>l 'xl J L-. lenuon. 11ley are uiiner pi-iiuuius, of which some have the form of a double spiral and are identical with those met with in the lake stations of the bronze age, or take the form of plates of ivory, disks-of wood or plugs of dried grass inserted into the lobe of the ear, which is distended to its utmost capacity bv months or years of? preparation. A Gemira's requirements in the matter of clothing are strictly limited, but he never goes quite naked. "The huts are very small, and their steeply sloping roofs terminate in a sharp point. Their inmates sometimes paint on their huts, by means of colored earths, the figure which seems to be their favorite if not exclusive design?the triangle. The Gemira are pagans. They appear to believe in a divinity inhabiting the skv, not to be identified with the Wak of the Galla, but also in secondary genii dwelling on the earth." Pepper In Olden Times. During the middle ages in Europe pepper was the most esteemed and important of all the spices. Genoa, Venice and other commercial cities of central Europe were indebted to their traffic in pepper for a large part of their wealth. Its importance as a means of promoting commercial activity and civilization during the middle ages can hardly be overrated. Tribute was levied in pepper, and donations were made in this spice, which was frequently also used as a medium of exchange in place of money. When the imperial city of Rome was besieged by Alaric, the king of the Goths, in 408 A. D., the ransom demanded included 5,000 pounds of gold, 30.000 pounds of silver and 3,000 pounds of pepper, illustrating the importance of this spice at that time. Appreciating Wagner. "The Iting of the Xibelungen" was ^irst produced in London under the special patronage of King Edward VII. when lie was Prince of Wales. lie loyally remained in his box from beginning to end. although he confessed afterward that it was the hardest work he ever did. When Wotan came on the-darkened stage to an accompaniment of discords the prince took a doze and an hour later was awakened by a double forte crash of the large orchestra. He fell asleep again, but in fifteen minutes was startled bv an' " - i u ? J i onior iremennous crnsu auu kjuuu Wotan still sinking against time. After the performance the prince told the manager in great confidence that if there was a Wotan in other Wagner operas he would withdraw his patronage. Shadow* of Sound. 'As there are shadows that interfere with sight, so also there are "shadows" that interfere with hearing. This fact is well known by pilots. When, as in dense fogs, the boat is guided largely by the sense of hearing, there is a constant risk that these so called "shadows" mr.y cut off the sound of the foghorns. In certain cases the sound waves seem to "jump" like bounding balls. At the distance of a mile the sound is heard perfectly, at two miles it may be impossible to hear it, w^iile a mile farther on it may begin to be audible once more.?Exchange. Misunderstood. The vicar was sent for by a sick parishioner who was exceedingly deaf and who was by no means a regular churchgoer. "What induced you to send for me ?" asked the clergyman when he arrived. "What does he say?" asked the old man, his hand to his ear. "He says," explained his wife smoothly, "why the deuce did you send for him?"?London Globe. SENATOR SMITH'S BILL. 8 Would Require Separate Poll- 8 man Coaches lor Negroes. I Washington, May 26:?Senator E 8 D Smith, of South Carolina, today K introduced a bill providing that trans- 8 portation companies operating Pull- | man or other sleeping cars through one or more States having laws requiring separate coaches or compartments for the races,shall provide separate and distinct accommodations for the conveyance of white and colored passengers in transit through said States, such accommodations to be equal as to comfort. The bill carries a penalty of $500 for each and every violation of its terms. "It Couldn't Be Done." Why not vary the usual order of our page this week by including a , bit of verse? At the Richmond Farmers' conference on co-operation, one of the most popular speakers was Mr J C Caldwell of Minnesota, who told how a number of co-operation enterprises had succeeded in his com munity despite the great difficulties encountered. In every attempt at co-operation, he declared, we must 3| face the criticisms of people who say } "it can't be done." * He then quoted a ringing "poetry piece" which made such a hit that he was overwhelmed with request^ for copies of it. The Progressive Farmer representative there wants us to pass it on?and we are mighty glad to commend it as just as good co-operative doctrine as you will come across: "Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But he with a chuckle replied, That 'maybe it couldn't,' but he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried. So be buckled right in with the trace of a grin ... On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sine as he tackled the thine That 'couldn't De done'?and he did it: '^Somebody scoffed: 'Oh, you'll never do that? At least, no one ever has done it' But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, | And the first thing we knew he'd begun it. With a lift of hisj chin* and a bit of a grin, pfc ocx; Without any doubting or quiddit, He started to sing as tackled the thing ? That 'couldn't be done'?and he did it! "There are thousands to tell you it cannot he done, There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to yoa one by one, ' The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, men taKe on your coat ana go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That 'cannot be done'?and you'll do it" Old Dr S*C Armstrong used to say that "doing what can't be done is the glory of living." It is goiDg to i take thisTsort of spirit to make a success of co-operation in many parts of the South. Don't rush into a thing you are not willing to fight for till the bitter end, but if the plan has been worked out elsewhere, under like conditions as your own, it will take'nothing but the spirit of Mr Caldwell's poem to make it a success in your town.? The Progressire Farmer. "A Voter"JWants Information. Editor County Record:? Please let us know if it is the duty of the rural policemen to ride around the tends of these big sawmill men and see if anybody is cutting the timber. It looks to us that these people have been favored long enough. They take a lease and about every five years go and cut all the timber off it and the owner is paying taxes on it all the time, and he gets only the little bit of money the mill king gives him the first time, whenlhe promised to cut the timber and give himlthe lease back in two or three years. If the owner of the land says anything the"king" will have his lawyer write him a letter and scare him into shutting his mouth. ' Please, Mr Editor, let us know if there'is no help for us poor people after we once get into the hands of these kings, who have grown rich on other people. They don't pay much taxes, and jet they try to run the whole government. Some of them even try to run the church and pray in nublie when thev ought to be on the chaingang for life. Please publish this for A Voter. Cades, May 25. A baggage truck invented by a Californian has hooks on the handles to permit it to be carried with its load up stairs on a man's shoulder.
