THE LATEST IN MATCHES.
A Box VI aking Contest in Pittsburg
Fer one Hundred Dollars.
rittsburg PENN Dispatch.

A novel contest came off last night at
Oddfellows' Hall, Southside, it being a
box-making match between Robert f..
Michaels, a box-maker at Schutte's
planning mill, Southside, and Albert
Beebee, an employee of Slack & Sholes,
this city. Some weeks ago match
took place between the parties for $50
side, in which Michaels won by one
nail, and the present match was the out
growth of the former one. The stakes
were originally to be $500 side, but
the match was made for 500 side,
Mr.. John Bradley, of the Prothono-
tary's office, being the stakeholder.
Shortly before o'clock, the announce
ment was made that all was ready,
After short speech by the referee,
the principles stepped forward. After
the customary hand. shaking, the
referee announced everything ready.
A bench about two feet high and twelve
feet long had been erected on the front
of the stage, and piled on top of this
was the box lumber, and beside 1t a
box of nails for each. Michaels used
Ratchet, and Beebee n hammer.
"Whack, whack, whack-e-ty whack"
went Ratchet and hammer. Box Ids
and sides were jerked into place and
nailed on with wonderful dexterity, and
as as Michaes tumbled bis first box
TO the floor few seconds ahead OF
Beebee yell went UP from the eager
audience below. Each man was to
nail 80 boxes, % nails to box, whose
size was about II inches by "a. The
expression las busy as nailers" was
nowhere in this contest. 1t was con-
slant chorus of sounds made by ham
mer and Ratchet as they as they struck
home a nail with one blow. Michaels
worked steadily on without break. 1t
was a part of the rule, that every nail
not driven straight had to be with
drawn and every defective box made
good within the time Of the match.
Michaels rarely made misdrive of a
nail, while Beebee lost time in having

The Secret Order of the Zunis.
New / ork Tribune.

Mr.. Francis H. Cushing, the young
ethnologist, who was sent out by tle
Smithsonian Institute TO study the
inner life of the Pueblo Indians of New
Mexico, had some strange adventures
recently when he was initiated into the
secret order Of the Zunis. Having Sc
cured ascalp-a necessary prerequisite
in the war with the Apaches, he pre-
scented himself to the council of Zuni
warriors, and, like Othello, though with
a different purpose and different aud
fence, told the story of his valor in war.
Aher much persuasion on his part he
was finally accepted as a suitable can
didate, and the ceremonies began.
He was taken to the burying ground,
where sham fight, with prayers and
songs interspersed, ensued. Carrying
a pole on which was the scalp, he then
marched at the head of the band of
yelling Indians to some gardens, where
the pole was stuck in the ground. Then
until evening he had the pleasure of
sitting motlonless on an ant-hill filled
with ants, which doubtless made the
most of their unexpected opportunity.
After further prayers and other cere-
monies he was formally taken into the
order. Then followed march around
the town. A score or more dogs were
killed to give variety to the days fes-
tivities and the young fellow was hur-
ried off to be baptized as "a child CT
the parrots and son of the eagles"
For the next four days he was locked
up without "fire, meat, oil, or tobacco"
being forbidden to see any one. Nor
was this all. For the ensuing twelve
days the ceremonies of this mystic Or
der were continued; and of them he
writes to friend in Boston: ''Fresh
in my memory as they are, they seem
to me the grandest, most interesting,
weird and terrible experiences and days
my life has ever seen, and open up the
suh-depth of meaning to my researches
in Zuni." If, as he says, this was the
least wonderful part of his experience,
he will return from the lind of the
Pueblos with narrative of striking
interest, and with much valuable infor-
nation re arding the descendants of
the Montezumas.
