On the Ajiinzon river several Indian tribes use snuff, colled pnreca, which is made of the seeds of a species of plant When a bout of snuff taking Is determined on the people become high ly Intoxicated and then use the snuff. The effect of pareca Is so violent tbat the taker drops as if shot and lies In sensible for some time. Those more accustomed to It are highly excited diiin iug and singing as If mad. The effect soon subsides. Other tribes use It to repel ague during the wet season. Shy on B'ar Meat. Following Frank Mayo's wonderful success In "Davy Crockett" In this country, he took bis play to London. where, because It dealt with rural characters of western America, It fail ed to succeed. After the first night performance iu London Mayo was ap- proucbed by an Kngllsn theatrical man "I say, old chap." he began, "you aid something in the play about b'ar meat. In this country the bar Is made either of wood or Iron. What, may I ask, do you mean?" Chicago News.

One day ou leaving my bank after making a deposit I saw a lady at tbe oext window the paying teller's try ing to count a fat roll of bills. The lady was young and pretty Indeed, I was very much struck wltb her ap pearance. I thought of offering my services to count the bills for her, but tills would put ber ou guard against me as desiring to play a confidence game and get her money. Finally she gave up the attempt and. rolling tbe bills Into a wad, stuffed them Into a portemonnaie and left the bank. I went out at another door, bailed a street cor, got aboard; a lady got in behind me and snt down oppo site me. She was the one I bad seen In tbe bunk. She was carrying ber portemounale in ber band. Inviting, so it seemed to me, some thief to snatch It. No otie taking advantage of tbe offer, she laid It ou tbe seat beside ber ii ud proceeded to put on her gloves, which she had removed to count .the money. The portemonnaie lay on tbe smooth surface of the seat ready to be shaken out of sight or Into some thief's possession, but the lady didn't appear to worry about It seeming far more afraid of tearing her gloves, which could not have cost over $2, than of losing a fat roll of bills There is nothing that will touch tbe heart like stupidity. And It seemed to me that there was quite enough stu pidity In this beautiful creature her eyes were great soft brown ones and her hair was a shining chestnut to make me love her forever. I watched I her and her pocketbook till I saw It slide Into the crack between the scat and its back, disappearing behind tbe folds of her dress. The car Jogged on, most of the pas sengers gradually getting out I was carried far beyond my destination, but If I had been Intent on possessing my self of the lady's pocketbook I could not have teen more absorbed In tbe situaUon. In fact 1 did have designs on that pocketbook, but for a purpose different from that of using the money In It Having got her gloves on without tearing them-the lady felt of her back hair, folded ber plump little bands and was evldeutly lost In a day dream She did not leave the car till It reach ed tbe terminal, and when she did she and I were the only persons In It. I waited till she had arisen and started for the door. There was the porteiuon mile resting safely In the Junction he I ween the seat and Its back. Tim itidy's face wis turned from me; the uotorniau was Ihisv : I took up the porteuiouuale. put it In my xeket and I left the car. The lady started up a street I followed her and. presently passiug her. raised my bat and said: "1 beg pardon. Can you tell me where Mr Smith lives?" She turned ber eyes upon me and asked: What Smith r "Why, the Mr. Smith, of course! There's always one particular Smith In a plnce." "I don't know any Mr. Smith at all." This was said wltb hauteur. "Would you mind my walking with you till you reach your home?" I asked. "1 certainly would." "Well, then, I will leave you. I pre dict, however, that before twenty-four hours hove passed you will give me an Invitation to visit you. Here Is my card." She took the card and, tearing it Into bits, scattered them on the sidewalk At tbe same time her color was rising like a bay of Biscay tide. "Good morning," 1 said, raising my bat with Infinite politeness, and left her. At tbe same time I kept ber in sight till I saw her enter a dwelling standing In handsome grounds and afterward Inquired nil about it and its occupants. Returning to the city, 1 mailed one of my cards to the ad dress and waited By noon the next day 1 received a note from a Miss Edith Belford stating that if I was the gentleman who had sat opposite her In die car the day before and could tell her anything about a pocketbook she bad lost she would be obliged If I would do so. I replied that I bad Join ed ber the day before for that purpose. but. noticing that there seemed to be something tn my personality that was distasteful to her, 1 had felt trineum bent upon me to leave her. To this she sent an Invitation for me to come and see her. I did so and was eagerly received. "Do yon know anything about It?' she asked hurriedly. "Have you found out anything about where Mr. Smith lives?" I asked In reply. Her big eyes grow bigger. What could I mean? I took her portemonnaie from my pocket and bunded it to her. The change from the worried expression on her face to one of delight was ravish ing "Where did you find it?" she asked. "Where you left It on the seat In the car." I Insisted on her counting the money over till the amount came out twice alike 200 t hen rose to go. By this time my facetlousness began to dawn upon her. Slip nked me if there was nothing she could do to show her ap preciation of my kindness In the mat ter, and I told ber there was I should like to make her aequalntanee. I nuide It n effectually that we are spend) in: ""r lives together. Great Shooting. Smith and Jones were walking along the boulevard one afternoon when Brown was incidentally mentioned In the conversation. "Speaking of ISrown." thoughtfully remarked Jones, "I understand he Is something of a shot" "He is a wonder," was the prompt rejoinder of Smith. "We were out in a field practicing one day when he hit the bullseye at the first shot." "Fine for Brown!" couimemlingly re turned Jones. "Tickled bim almost to death. I suppose?" "Don't you t-elieve it!" answered Smith. "He bad to pay for the bull." Philadelphia Telegraph. WANT! For Sale Residence lot near high school. See E. It. Bingman at Reeves' store.
