PUZZLE FOR THE ANTIQUARIANS
Belies of a Race Who Lived on an Island
Off the French Coast.
A lady whose home is in the south of
France writes to Goldthwaite's Maga
zine of a visit she made recently to an
island on the coast of Brittany. Those
who have read the story of King
Arthur and his knights will remember
that they started out over the sea 4n
pursuit of the dragon. In this, the
Marbihan sea, is a little island which
can be reached from the mainland
only when the watar is smooth. The
sole inhabitant is a ISreton shepherd,
who lives in a little hut and spends his
time in caring for his sheep. The
party landed and were met by the
kind-faced old man, who led them over
the grassy slope where his flock was
feeding, and showed them the way
around a hill, on, the east side of which
they found the entrance to a tunnel.
This extended some distance, and its
floor, sides and roof were made of
immense flat pieces of stone, covered
with hieroglyph's and figures "looking
somewhat like wreaths and again like
coiled serpents." At the end of this
tunnel was a hall, also floored, roofed
and walled with the same curious
stones, and in the center was an altar
and a stone upon which it is thought
that human sacrifices have been of
fered. The strangest part of all is that
no stones or rocks like those used in
this tunnel can be found on the island,
and at no place nearer than one hun
dred miles inland. Who brought them?
J low did they come? There is no rec
ord left at least none has been found
to tell who these people were, or
anything about them. They must have
lived many centuries ago, but have
vanished entirely, yet their work is as
perfect apparently as when first built.
It is thought that they may have been
Druids, who came here when they left
Great Britain; others, again, think
that they were worshipers of the ser
pent god called Hoa. But it is conjec
ture. All we know is that the stones
are there, strangely carved, skillfully
put together, but of their builders
there is no trace.
Deafness Cannot be Cared
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling eound or
imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (.caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cared by Hall's Catarrh
Cure, bend for circulars, free.

Hindoos Care Nothing for Amusement Un
less Accompanied by Physical Suffering;
or Oreat Danger Battle of Hands .
and the Swinging Festival.
India is a land of sport, but occident
als are always much surprised to find
that sport, to be appreciated by the
average mild Hindoo, mUst have some
thing cruel about it, either to man or
beast. It is to India, by the way, that
Europe and America owe polo, which
was introduced into British canton
ments by the Manipuris. Hindoos are
great cock fighters, says a writer in the
San Francisco Chronicle. Large sums
of money are -spent on these contests,
nor are the birds furnished with spurs
to make the combats still more san
guinary. The cocks use only nature's
weapons' and the wounds inflicted are
severe enough to satisfy the Hindoo
craving for bloody spectacles. Of horse
racing the Hindoo is passionately fond;
and a race will practically close all
business. The government printing
offices at Allahabad have on occasions
been closed because the compositors
abandoned their cases to see the races.
A steeplechase where there is every
possibility of some one being thrown
exerts a wonderful fascination on the
people, who do not hesitate to call
.themselves the greatest physical cow
ards in the world. Their bunting, too,
is of the cruel order. Panthers; or, as
they are' called in India, cheetahs, are
trained to pursue deer and kill them.
There is no risk attaching to the hunt
ers, but there is a great deal of danger
to the unfortunate shekari who trains
the ferocious beast. The panther is
blindfolded, a leash is placed around
his middle, and he is thus lea to the
plain where . deer can be found, or to
where the deer have been ' driven by a
swarm of beaters. The assemblage,
mounted upon elephants or horses or in
conveyances, keep a respectfttl distance
from the cheetah, who is led into the
open and the hood quietly removed and
the leash slipped. The cheetah, when
furiously hungry, has been known to
turn upon his trainer as the quickest
prey, and this is the supreme, the ago
nizing moment. The cheetah stands
straight, his forelegs stiffening and his
tail slowly moving. He purrs like a
huge cat, looks angrily around him,
then, crouching, bounds after his prey.
The cheetah catches his victim and,
seizing it by the "throat, buries his
fangs deeply, sucking in .the blood
with greedy gasps. The trainer ap
proaches gently, so gently that his
footfall can scarcely be heard. The
cheetah is growling ominously. His
tail beats his sides in ferocious impa
tience. Quietly the man steals toward
the crouching beast and slips the hood
over the eyes; then the leash is passed
around and all danger is averted.
The head of the deer has to be sev
ered, still leaving in the cheetah's
mouth a goodly lump of bleeding
flesh. There is nothing very sports
manlike in tins perrormance, but
there is a great deal of danger attach
ing to it, and that danger devolves
upon one man. There have, been cases
where the panther has absolutely re
fused to chase the deer, but has devot
ed his entire time and attention to the
hunting party. Then the game was not
voted a success. . -
A villainous amusement- in India is
that called panjan. Itconsists in lock
ing hands and seeing who can be made
to kneel. There is no fun in ' it, but
still it is assiduously cultivated and
hands are daily . being broken in this
inane form of sport. Kite-iiying is a
national affair and bets of the most ex
traordinary magnitude are made as to
who shall cut his opponent's string.
The swinging festival, or ehurruit
poojah, is another- form, of pleasure
which could only satisfy a race natu
rally cruel. There is now a good deal
of correspondence between the India
office and the government of Calcutta
with a view of stopping this detest
able sport.' Iiundreds of Europeans
visit the scene and leave immeasurably
disgusted, but the natives find much to
enjoy in it and beat their torn toms
and blow their pipes with great gusto
while the poor victims are swinging in
midair. This sport has some remote
connection with a religious rite, and
the men who permit themselves, to be
thus tortured. are probably fulfilling
some hideous vow. Vows in India are
common, and no vow can avail unless
its performance inflicts some dreadful
punishment upon the body. The affair
is thus managed: A devotee has a hook
passed through the muscles of his back,
which hook is tied to the end of a
crosspole. This beam can be tilted for
the express purpose of having victims
fastened to it. After the man is se
curely lashed to the pole he is lifted
up. into the air with his hands folded
on the chest and the body fairly hang
ing by the hooks. There is no other
support. The muscles . of the back
alone hold him to the hook. The pole
is then rotated by pulling on the ropes
at the counterbalance end, its attach
ment on the vertical part permitting
at free rotation. This gentle amuse
ment the Indian government intend to
abolish, but whether it will be done
without serious trouble is a question.

Cruel Sport.
The "Hindus are great swimmers, and
swim dog fashion with their hands and
feet beating the water. The reason of
this is to scare their aquatic enemies.
There is a great swimming festival
after the first rains, when the rivers are
swollen. . Then Hindus of all ages
enter the turbulent flood and swim a
given distance, shouting like demons
and creating an enormous commotion.
Crocodiles follow the swimmers and
the slower swimmers fall an easy prey
to those awful monsters. But it is
sport sport to those who take part in
the exciting adventures, but greater
sport to the thousands who follow the
men in the water from the banks, and
the victim to the nugger has little
sympathy wasted on him by the eager,
fun-loving crowd.
