indian Wives.

Among the Northwestern tribes OF
Canadian Indians innocence is as mark
ed among the girls as their color. The
impression that the rad maiden does not
entertain high standard Of morality Is
an error, for she is taught as other
girls are. and grows up with well-devel-
oped ideas of the responsibilities OF life
and firm resolution to discharge them.
Educated in the faith that she was Or
dained to work, she trains herself to
undergo hard labor, and at slyteen
years of age is sturdy and strong, brave
against fatigue. and a perfect house
wife. She NAV not possess New Eng
land notions of cleanliness, but she
takes not a little pride in her personal
appearance, and in the arrangement of
her lodge she displays some crude Ideas
of taste and certain amount of neat
ness. II she marries white man she
makes him good wife as long as she
lives with him. His home Is her sole
comfort, her sole ambition. She thinks
Of him and for him, and makes it her
study to please him and make him re-
spect and love her. She recognizes IN
him one of superior race, and by her
dignity and devotion endears herself to
him and struggles to make him happy.
At the agencies of the upper frontier
thousands of men ara employed, and it
is not an exaggeration to say that the
majority of them have Indian wives and
live happily. They are not sought after
by the maldens. for the Indian girls
custom is to remain quiet until after the
marriage contract is made and the mar
rage portion is paid. The husband
must have she dowry with which he
must invest his projected nother-in-law
before the ceremony takes place. The
process is little out of the usual run
and description may be OF interest.
The aspiring bridegroom must be vel
known in the tribe before he can hope
to win a wife. Her people want t.
thoroughly understand him and know
he can support not only her, bnt als'
her relatives in the event of a pinch
He must be kindhesrted man, with {
temper warranted to keep In an.

NO uIveaways-

One day in 1864 Senator Zach Chand-
ler was passenger on the train from
Owosss to Lansing and, strangely
enough, no one in the car had any idea
of his identity. Two men had the seat be

Both men were red-hot ag ainst him, and
directly one of them observed:

The Senator turned slowly aroun d

Some time ago, Josh Whitehead,
who lives only short distance from
Little Rock, Arkansas was convicted Of
stealing a horse, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for term of Ave years,
Some OF his friends, believing that he
stole the horse accidentally. and that
he should be pardoned, circulated n
petition asking for executive clemen-
CIV, Several otner men, including the
pros scuting attorney, believed that
Josh was guilty, got out petition and
asked that the law be enforced. One
day Josh was taken from the Jail and
allowed to eat dinner with friend.

Sig hts Gn 4 Road In Palestine.

The old maritime plain of the PhIlis-
tines (which is another name for Palestine)
lay along this coast from GAIA northward,
and IT was considered land worth strug
giles. This Josliua found. But IN vain
do we look for the ''roses of Sharon and
the lilies that grow" In this land so re-
nowned once for its roseate beauty. Still,
we are told that in the vernal season it is
carpcted like Texas prairie with flowers
of various hue and lovelness. Along the
dusty afternoon road we pass innumerable
caravans of c,mels, led by Arabs on don
keys. The Arab generally sits on the re-
mote point of the Os coccygis ofthe animal,
and without stirrups. He swings his bare,
brown feet and legs, while the little
breast. like julius, alongside of his father,
trots incQuo pedc. Plenty of women,
with faces here apparent, and In long blue,
cheap cotton mantles. and sometimes with
head crowned with burdens of fruit,
pitchers, straw, or wood, are met on the
way. Some rulns-mostly of churches
here and there appear; while square, WIN
uowless Turkish guard-nouses are seen
at intervals, at whose doors are white
dressed, fez-capped Turkish soldiers, with
guns and cigarettes. These are the police,
who are supposed 10 guard the road; but
to our observation no guard is needed, ex-
cept IN the dark mountain passes, and
there Turkish engineering has been careful
to have as few guard houses as possible.
There is not much to see on the road
until you come to Ramleh. Beggars and
bakshish, and some ole rellcs as crusadIDg

uous object. The latter Is square tower

ON err Buttons and Nails.

1t occurred to some fertile mind two
or three years ago that the refuse of sole
leather might be utilized for buttons and
nails, and the manufacture of such nails
and buttons from such material was en-
tered upon in this city. After side OF
leather has been cut into soles number
of pieces are left-strips an inch or
more in width. Only certain part of
these, or those coming from certain
part. Of the side, are used. The sole
leather clippings are obtained from
cutters of sole leather in boot and shoe
districts. Any one who has travelled
through Essex county, Massachusetts,,
through Lynn, Salem, Peabody and
other towns, coald not escape the odor
of burnt leather, mingled with that Of
tan bark or tanners pickle. The sole
leather clippings, rs others, were used
to furnish fires until the button of solid
leather was invented.
The leather nail or button Is made IN
Providence, r. l., to the number OF
thirty or fifty thousand per day. accord
ing to design and finish. Every button
is subjected to eight different processes.
BY machinery made for the purpose the
nail or brad is firmly attached to the
button. Another machine turns this
brad into an eye when buttons are de-
sired instead Of nails. The nails and
buttons are made in various styles and
colors, to harmonize with any covering.
The fact that the nail can be driven
without breaking the brad and without
injury to its head is in its favor. Pull
man cars, fine furniture in hotels and
elsewhere are decorated with leather
buttons or nails to the exclusion of the
brass nail, which has declined fifty pei
cent in price in consequence OF the
leather button competition.

A Pleasant surprise.

Nv brother Johnny says he would do Tor
n first class bumble-bee; he's as hot all
over as if he had 40 stings. We've been
talking through the stove-hole to comfort
each other. This hole Is in the wall a;
the side of my bed; so, if put chair on
the bed, and then climb up and stand on
tiptoe, can see INTO Johnny's room, and
we can have good tax.
We're IN trouble; and this Is how It
happened:
One day last week, our teacher read us
story about a good little girl who had a
sick father; and he was going to starve 10
death cause be hadn't any money to Guy
oranges; and everything hail gone wrong
inside. Well, the good little girl heard
that a dentist wanted some teeth, and
would pay well for them Il don't see
why he should pay money for teeth, when
he could have his own for nothlng) The
little girl had fine teeth, so she went to the
dentist and asked him to take some out
and pav her the money they were worth,
for her Door father. Then the dentis
made her tell HIM all about her father; anc
he wouldn't take the teeth, but he gave
her the money all the same. and went u
see her father, and got a doctor for him, s.
he didn't die.
1t was beautiful story, and made M
CRY. Johnny said it wasn't anything Il
cry about; stories like that were for exam
, ples. and when we had a chance we mus
, lust 90 and do likewise.
Well, this morning. when father wa
! putting on his overcoat, Johnny and
asked him for a penny. And father, b
said we were always wanting pennies, an
| he asnt made of money; and then b
/ went out.
Sister EN- began 10 CRY, cause lathe
! SAID she couldn't have a Lew dress th
: Easter. Everything was going wrong, an
he didn't know what would become
him, and he was sick of everything.
Johnny and didn't cry; we only locke
at each other.
While we were going to school, Johnn
v said this was our chance. Now we coul
: do like the good little girl, and be suppo
Y to our parents. Dentists always wanse
: teeth, and we'd go to the dentist rigl
i away after school, and have 1t over.
e s.And then," says Johnny, ''if we''
:: made five dollars for father, perhaps he
give us our penny, cause it'll be such
pleasant surprise to him. :"
