An Old story I'm a New Dress,

You would hardly expect to find wit
among the. Indians, and yet they are just
as human as the rest of us, and in spite of
their stoicism indulge in a joke now and
then which has flavor of its own. Dur
ing a banquet which was given by the
pale faces to several red men, one of the
Indians took a spoonful of mustard, sup
dosing il to he some delicacy. The tears
came into his eyes. He could die without
fiinching, but q spoonful of mustard was
something which even his heroic soul
could not endure, so he wept profusely,
even as white men do sometimes. The
chief, who sat opposite, asked him why
he cried. He naturally replied that he
was thinking of his old father, who died a
horrible death. A few minutes after the
chief himself fell upon the mustard pot,
and swallowed more than was necessary.
The tears came into his eyes, too. A thou
sand tomahawks were nothing, but the
pungent quality of the mustard made him
weep like child. .And why do you
cry!" asked the first victim, with savage
delight i'm his tones. "Well," was the
quick reply, II am crying because you
were not killed when your father was"

BIRD Lore.

BNK0 LOEG.
In the Lech Valley there is belief that
the ravens never drink during June be-
cause in thGt month they fed the prophet
Elijah. In North Germany. Swabia and
Tyrol, q superstition prevails, that if the
eggs are taken from q ravens nest, boiled
and replaced, the old raven will bring u
root or stone To the nest which he fetches
from the sea. This "raven stone" is very
valuable, for 1t confers great fortune on
its owner, and has likewise the power
of rendering him invisible when worn on
the arm. The stone is found in the nests
of magpies as well as ravens, and as 1t
sought with the aid of mirror. In Pom
erania and Rugen the method is some
what different The parent birds must
have attained the age of one hundred
years, and the would,be pOssessor of the
precious "stone" must climb up and kill
one of the young ravens who must be q
cock bird. and not over six weeks old.
Then the aggressor descendss taking careful
note of the tree. The old raven immedi-
ately returns with the stone, which he
puts in his sons beak, and thereupon both
tree and nest become invisible. The
man, however, feels for the tree, and on
reaching the nest he carries off the
stone in triumph. Rugen folks declare
that this feat can only be accomplished by
the help of Satan, and that the mans soul
is the price paid for such assistance. The
Swabian peasantry maintain that young
ravens are nourished solely by the dew
from heaven during the first nine days Of
their existence. As they are naked and OF
light color the old birds do not believe
that they are their progeny, and conse-
quently neglect to feed them; but they oc.
casionally cast a glance at the nest. and
when the young ones begin to show lit
tie black down on their breasts by the
tenth day, their parents bring them the
first carrion. -

Sosnos ON Lake Tahoe.

= Lake Tahoe is great fresh water body,
twelve miles south of Truckee. 1t lies in
two States, California and Nevada; three
quarters in California and the remainder
in Nevada Tahoe is an Indian name,
meaning big water or deep water. Here,
at an elevation of mile and q quarter
above the ocean, sheltered in its rock
bound basin, rests this inland sea, twenty
five miles long and ten wide. Its blue
waters are eneircled by hills mosaiced
with trees of evergreen and patches of pure
white snow. Pebbles may be counted, and
trout may be seen sporting at depth of
eighty feet, so clear and smooth Is the
water. 1t changes color according to the
depth, from q beautiful pea-green at the
shore to indigo blue.
1t has been sounded TO a depth of 8, 600
feet, and is so cold, even in summer, that
the water, when taken from below the sur
lace, is near to the freezing point al
though it never freezes in the coldest
weather. Fish abound in the waters near
the shore, among which are four varieties
of trout. The silver trout is considered
the finest, and is always taken in deer
water, sometimes weighing thirty-twc
pounds I'D
On account Of the variety of the atmos
phere, the waters are not very buoyant
objects sinking like lead. Nothing evel
floats on the surface. Great logs which
have escaped from the hands of the log
gers, soon sink and are seen no more. A
times the lakeDis calm. and peaceful as ,
smiling babe, again i'll is in a, momen
lashed to fury and beaten to foam by th'
winds that spring up in the canons ant
sweep across Its waters. But look at tn,
lake when and where you will, it is ,

Sound Sense in the Raising Of Chill

A venerable lady now living in New
York, who has had ten children, all born
and reared in cities, and raised nine of
them, all living at the present moment,
having reached the adult age, never. al
lowed any of them as children to eat any
thing between meals except dry bread,
though she was wealthy and could just as
easily pampered every whim. Her con-
slant reply WAS, when any of them demur-
red, my dear you are not hungry if you
cannot eat bread" Now, it is very certain
that her children did not inherit remarka-
bly, robust constitutions, and under the or
dinary pampering system OF mothers, it is
fair to suppose that many of them would
have died or become puny men and wO
men. When child knows by experience
that he can have nothing but bread be-
tween meals, he will not ask for it unless
he really needs it, and then he will not
take enough to destroy his keener appe-
tite for the good things at the table while
if he is allowed fruits and pastry, as so
many children are, he will seldom come
to his meals with fine relish for food and
taking it without the relish it fails to be
rapidly assimilaied, if indeed it does not

How . Georgia Girl Rescued Her
Brother, ts

Mr.. H F. Gaulding has little daughter
eleven years old, to whose nerve land cour-
age he is indebted for the life of his three
year.old boy. The circumstances were
briefly these: The boy was playing by
the cistern in Mr.. G.'s yard. There was a
plank of, and through this aperture the
little fellow fell. He caught q plank, how
over. in falling, and held for some time
before he was discovered. But his hold
weakened, and with. splash he fell into
the cistem. His sister saw and appreci-
ated the situation. Most girls would have
screamed and run off in quest of hep. Not
SO with this little girl. The screams and
struggles for lite of her baby brother gave
her the strength and courage of man.
She saw a ladder, and, with all her might,
she dragged it to and placed it into the
cistern, and then went down into the wa
ter, reached out and caught her brother
just in time to save him from watery
grave. BY this time help arrived and both
were landed safely from, their perilous po-
sition. All honor to this little heroine
May, she live long to illustrate the true
nobility of ofwomanhood.-(B Bainbridge (Ga.)

"These laws comprised an ingeniously

student of history can doubt but that to
her navigation laws England chiefly owes

SOUND COMPANY.

The Flattering Record Made by the Equit-
able Life Assurance Company.
/ The Equitable Life Assurance Society, of
the United States, publishes in our columns
to-day q condensed statement, giving all the
important information conveyed in 4 the
statement made to the insurance department
Of the State in compliance with our Laws.
The new business of the company for
1878 amounted to $2l, ,OO0, 600, gained in q
perfectly legitimate way by hard work and
energetic canvassing, without resort to any
new device to get business, the manage
ment of the company undoubtedly deeming
it best to adhere to the old and true paths.
There has also been notable gain in the
assets aud surplus; in the former of $2, ,OOO,-
600, and in the latter of 300, 900.
1t has seemed that the reduction of the
rates OF interest in the East must effect the
life ininsuranoe companies there to some ex-
tent, and especially those whose investments
are chiefly in bonds and mortgages, as that
class OF securities il the hardest 70 realize
upon, and loans made upon them now must
remain for years at the rate at which theyy
are made at present, when, interest is
ruling lower than il has for many
years. It is : therefore favorable
feature in the investments Of this company
that the number Of their mortgages is not as
large as they have been in past years, while
their saleable securities have proportionately
increased.
The Tontine policy Is favorite one in
this company. The results Of those first
issued on this plan are just now, .at the end
Of ten years from their date, becoming
known, and are proving wonderfully sue

The situation it describes is true. Houses
are SO scarce that it is next to an impossible

are going up. This condition of affairs must
be remedied, and that, promptly, or St. Paul

DR.. STEWART was yesterday appointed Sur
vsyor General of Minnesota, succeeding
Gen. Baker in that Office. The doctor has
played his cards we'll and shrewdly. The Re
publican portion of the Minnesota delegation
in Congress, coupled with the retiring Major
Strait, were united in retaining Gen. Baker.
Window urged Gen. Baker as personal
favor to himself. Washburn was especially
anxious that DR.. Stewart should not, of all
others, obtain the place; but the doctor,
single-handed, proved more potential than
them oil. He has reason to be gratifled at his
success Gen. Baker can congratulate himself
upon the fact that he could have retained
the Office but a short time in any event, as
a Democratic President next year will end
all of this Republican hilarity. The public
will be very we'll satisfied with DR.. Stewart
so long as the Republicans are in power
The little row in the happy Republican
family is matter of no consequence.

A SERIOUS misunderstanding threatens to
arise in France over the bill of M. Jules

measure is harmless enough as far as its
title goes, but as: it contemplates the exclu-

not promise to be soon allayed. One jour

republic has become the negation of liberty

of Frenchmen, it has no longer any reason
for existence. If the bill is made cabinet
