Osnabrück la oue o f tbs most vener
able towns o f Prussia. In tbs closing
years o f the eighth century Charle
magne designated It aa the capital o f a
bishopric, a distinction which It an-
joyed without Interruption tor more
than a thousand years. In 1808 the see
Was suppressed, the last bishop being
Frederick, duke o f York, son o f the
English Hanoverian monarch, Georgs
I I L In 1868 the city was restored to
Its religious eminence when It was
again made the seat o f a Roman Cath
olic bishop.
I t Is on account o f her share to the
preliminary negotiations which tod to
the epochal peace o f Westphalia that
Osnabrück la famous to history. In
1044, after all contra! Europe had been
devastated by the great struggle which
eventually became known as the
Thirty Years’ war, representatives o f
Sweden, the German empire and Gar-
man Protestante met here, while to the
neighboring city of Munster, thirty
miles to the southwest, delegates from
France. Spain, tbe German Catholics'
and thé German empire gathered.
Tb e negotiations extended over a pe
riod o f four years. In October, 1648.
both groups o f conferees hating ar
rived a t a common basis o f settlement,
tbe Osnabrück diplomats repaired to
Munster, where a few days later tbe
peace waa signed which guaranteed
tbe sovereignty and independence o f
tbe several states o f tbe empire and
which forjjade religious persecution
throughout Germany. It was this
pence, in which Osnabrück played such
a vital part, that put aa end to roll
flous wars In Europe.
A s early as 888 Osnabrück was
granted the right to establish Its own
mint, but it waa not until the fifteenth
century tnat tue city renenea tne crest
o f Is mediaeval prosperity. Following
the decline which was necessarily inci
dental to tbe ravages o f the Thirty
Years’ war. it enjoyed a second era of
growth.
Th e two most Impressive architec
tural piles to Osnabrück are the spa
cious cathedral, dating back to tbe
twelfth century and representing a
combination o f tbe Romanesque end
Transitional styles, and the .royal pal
ace, built in 1602-75.—National Geo
graphic Society Bulletin.
A Man and a Maid who walked
along ths garden paths were observed
by the Moon, tbe Ko**es and the Night
Wind.
“ Here come two lovers,” chuckled
the Moon. “ I will shins my silvor bast
for their aakee.”
“ Hare corns two lovers." murmured
ths Rosas. “ Let us send forth our
sweetest perfume to greet them."
“ Here come two lovers.” sighed the
Night Wind. “ I will whisper to them
o f the magic that lies to a summer
night.”
But the M ood suddenly blotted ths
smile from bis face. . "W e will not
trouble ourselves.” h# declared. "These
lovers are tbe same two who walked
ths garden paths but yw tsra igh t And.
for all we did our best to please them,
what did they to return? They spoke
no word o f my beauty - either of
them.”
“ And they never noticed us.” com
plained the Roses.
“ 1 remember them welt.” sniff ad the
Night Wind “ They only said. 'It to a
beautiful evening!' and gave ua no
credit at all 1+1 ns do all we can to
punish them .1
So the Moon hid behind the darkest
cloud be could And. And the Roses
withheld their perfume. And the Night
Wind turned chill and rustled the dry
leaves dismally, and even succeeded to
finding a few stray raindrops and fling
ing them iu a dank, graytob mist
across tbe garden paths.

l o ws Curious Customs o f a Raco That
W ill Soon Bo Extinct.
The aborigines o f Queensland are
fast fading away, and In view o f the
fact that this race w ill soon be extinct
an examination o f their social custom*
Is Interesting.
The death bone or bone apparatus,
with its supposed property o f produc
ing death, la one o f the moat dreaded
and universal superstitions among tbe
natives o f the Queensland interior.
Tbs apparatus consists o f a pointer
connected by string with an elongated
cylindrical receptacle.
The pointer,
three to five Inches long, is made from
a human forearm bone, tbe string is
made from human hair, and the recep
tacle, which incloses the victim’s life
blood, to fashioned from s shin bone.
The “ medicine man” o f the tribe uses
tbe weapon by aiming tbe pointer at
tbe person selected for punishment
One o f the most curious o f the abo
riginal weapons is the “ whirler,” or
“ bull roarer.". It Is made o f a flat
tened place o f gldyea timber cut Into
spindle shape. Into one extremity o f
which a bole is drilled with a sharp
ened emu bone. By means o f the aper
tore this whirler is attached to a piece
o f string fixed at the end o f a small
stick. Revolving rapidly, the whirler
gives out a roaring sound.—London

historic buildings to the^ Mexican re
public and will always be remembered
not as a storehouse o f grain, not aa a
prison, which It now Is. but ag the
place where tbe first blow was struck
for tbe liberation o f Mexico from
Spanish rule. Quadrangular in shape,
with a central patio, a row o f small
Moorish windows near tbe top, the
lower floor Tuscan, tbe upper Doric,
the building has no architectural
beauty.
A t eeeh corner te a (ante book, from
which in the. days o f the struggle for
Independence were hung four Iron
cages containing the beads o f the great
liberator)*—the patriot priest. Hidalgo;
his military chief. Allende, and his
comradesr^Aldama and Jimenez. Here
they hung for year* until rtimoved by
a worshiping nation to tbe altar o f
kings in the cathedral o f the City o f
Mexico.
A fter tbe Ortto de Dolores and the
first ringing o f tbe bell of Independ
ence Hidalgo and bis followers moved
on to Guanajuato, stormed tbe impro
vised fort o f Albondlga and killed all
tbe Spanish troops that had taken
refuge there. Thia was the beginning
o f the eleven yeara’ war of independ
