of Louisiana. This weapon consists
of a tube, usually of cane, about six
feet long', rubbed (smooth on the Inside
with an Implement made for the pur

tho aid of fire. Slender-pointed darta
about tdght inches long are used as
ammunition, each ono wrapped neatly
along a third of its length with thistle

a dart In the tube, which he raises
to his Hps and aims nt his came: then
a quick puff of the breath drives tho
little dart flylns with sufficient forco
to Impale and kill n small bird or

Among the most Interesting things
