The Whistling Jug of Peru. " The nottors of ancient Peru used to mnnufiicturtj on Ingenious musical In- ; Ptrument which uniy very properly bo culled a whistling Jig. In colluriiorm . of fui'l'iuillea It Is called 11 silvndor or sllvlo Specimen nre obtained from the tun-lent burial places of Peru.

The i neck of one of these vessels Is closed. wlih Ihe exception of a small opening tu which n flay pipe Is Inserted, load hif? to the body of the whistle. The closed neck of this double vase Is modeled Into a represcntaiion of a bird's head. When n liquid is poured into the open necked viioe the air Is compressed In the other, and In escap ing ihrougU the narrow opening Is forced Into the whistle, the vibration producing sounds.

Harper's Weekly. A Shave In China. The Rev. Louis Byrde. a missionary, gives nn Interesting account in a Lou don paper of a shave in China. lie writes: "The greatest treat which I only give o special occasions is n mid day shave In public. In the early morn Ing a Chinese Inn la terribly dark, and at night bed soon claims one. I select a table nt the street front (the whole front Is formed of movable doors, which nre entirely tnken away during the day) and. provided with the neces saries, Commence operations. Fifty or sixty people stand round in ranks, the Innermost circles consisting of children and the outer rings of men and mothers with their babes. Not a word Is littered: all eyes are fixed first on the shaving brush as the soap is lath ered on the face, and then on the razor as the stubble falls. The Chinese never shave themselves, and possibly to see a man handling a razor on himself may suggest that bu Is about to commit hnraklri in their village." r There will In vention of !tlu it mass con F.irniiM s' 1M- neational ami Co-operative Union of America, at t lie County Court House in the City of Ileppner on Tuesday, January JKKh.

They are shaggy haired and massive, with thick, short horns, nnd possess Immense strength. A herd of these buffaloes was grazing when n tiger came out of the forest near by. The herdsman shouted, beat his staff on the ground and tried to scare away the brute, but It would not be scared und sprang upon him. knocked him down and stood over him snarling He gave himself up for lost when the bull of the herd charged savagely upon the tiger and knocked him fully twen ty feet. The attack was so sudden and the shock so groat that it took all the fight out of the tiger. He gathered himself up In a dazed way and actual ly slunk off Into the forest. The hull shook himself, bellowed, pursued his enemy n few yards nnd then went quietly to feeding as If vanquishing a tiger were an everyday occurrence. The Seismograph. The seismograph Is a most Interest Ing instrument. It is kept in a sub basement room, far from disturbing In fluences. There it records upon n strip of paper such eart hipiakes as may hap pen anywhere. The scientists then study the strip of paper and herald to the world the news that the tremor which shook down several cities was duly registered. The seismograph Is a remarkable contrivance, though in just what way is not yet determined. However, in the Interests of science. It is as valu able as would be the imprint of the hoof upon the seat of the trousers of a man who had been kicked by a mule. After the event he could study the im print and assure himself that he bad been kicked.
