The Ideal Indian,


The Osages are said to be nearest to
ideal Indians in appearance among the
remaining tribes of Indian Territory. =
The average height of the men is fully
six feet, and their features are strongly
characteristic. "They retain the savage
dress" says u correspondent of the
Providence Journal, '.shaye their heads
except ridge of bristles on the top,
like cocks comb, streak their faces
with red ochre and their bodies and
arms with dark lines. When the three
youths who presented this appearance
dashed up to us on their ponies, it looked
as though we had got among tne abo-
regimes at last. They extended their
hands with u smiling greeting that
showed their white teeth, and uttered
the talismanic 'Howgh, to which we re-
sponded with an attempt mt equally
deep-lnnged emphasis, and then they
clattered on, sitting straight on their
horses backs, and riding like centaurs."
In the same manner, however. the
writer describes something far less pic
turesque and more civilized-the spec
tacle of a native constable Juggling q
drunken Indian to jail, and clubbing
him, policeman fashion, on the way. He
also heard some squaws singing selec-
ton from "Pinafore" in most dread
full manner, to the accompaniment of .
painful ACCORDION.

The Friend of Our Youth.

AS the old ''red cent? has now passed
out of use, and, except rarely, out of
sight, like the sold oaken bucket" its
history is matter of sufficient interest
for preservation. The cent was first
proposed by Robert Morris, the great
financier of the Revolution, and was
named Jefferson two years after. 1t be-
gan to make its appearance from the
mint in 1892. 1t bore the head of Wash.
ington on one side and thirteen links on
the other The French Revolution soon
created o rage for French ideas in
America. which put on the cent instead
of the head of Washington the head Of
the Goddess of Liberty--a French liber-
ty-with neck thrown forward and flow
ing locks. The chain on the reverse
side was displaced by the olive wreath
of peace; but the French liberty was
short lived, and so was her portrait on
our cent. The next head or figure that
succeeded this-the staid, classic dame,
with fillet around her hair--came into
fashion about thirty or forty years ago,
and her tinely-chiseled Grecian features
have been but slightly altered by the
lapse of time.

Mime, Modieska in Luck.

A private letter from Warsaw, in
Poland, says The Dramatic Times, tells
an interesting incident in connection
with Nine. Modjeska. She herself is of
plebeian extraction, hut her husband s
family are of a long and noble descent.
They were intimately concerned in the
Polish instruction of 1868. Some were
murdered, some were exiled, and all
had their property confiscated by the
emperor of all the Russias. Nine. Mod
jeska has been making an effort for
three years to get the confiscations de-
creed against the family RENTED. She
had made pretty. fair progress under
the administration of Alexander H., but
his sudden death brought it to an end,

Poles was greatly embittered ut the

that Nine. Modjeska dared to make any
new move. While in Russia she had

A Steam Plow at Work.

A Fargo Cd. To letter to the Boston
Journal SAYS: "After all that has been
done with reference to bringing out n
steam pillow in this country, it remains
for an ingenious Englshman to invent
and place in successful working steam
pillow. Mr.. j. G. Allen is accomplishing
some excellent work on the Aurora
farm, belonging to Captain Thomas w.
Hunt, of Blanchard, d. Il. 1t is at
tracing great deal of attention, and
farmers are cominglong distances tosee
the plows at work. Two enormous
traction engines are placed about 800 to
500 yards apart. Beneath each engine
and belted to the boiler is steel drum
about five feet in diameter. To this
drum is attached steel cable about
three-quarters of an inch in diameter,
500 yards long, and capable of sustain
ing weight of thirty tons, which drags
the pillow to and fro across the field.
The pillow is q framework of iron resting
upon two large wheels; on each side of
this frame are firmly fixed six plows
with coulters that cut six burrows SIX
teen inches wide each time the machine
crosses the field. On the arrival of the
pillow at the end of the furrow the gauge
changes position, and the plows that
have been in the air are lowered and
ready to start back. One man is suf-
ficient to guide the pillow, and, seated
over the body of the machine, directs
one of the two large wheels in the fur
row last turned by means of hand
wheel. Each engine is of about forty
horsepower, and weighs about sixteen
tons. When the pillow reaches one side
of the field the engine on that side
moves ahead eight feet, the operation
taking three and one-half minutes only,
and the pillow is started back to the other
side of the field The pillow will break
from twenty-five to thirty-ive acres per
day, according to the soil, location, and
lay of the land, etc. 1t also does har-

A Promise to the Dying Not Binding.

When William. Anderson. of Blair
county, was dying, his wife Jane prom
ised him that she would endeavor to
agree to the terms of his will. n After
his death she gave paper to the exec
utors carrying out that agreement.
She was told. however, that she had
simply relinquished s., 900 of her dover.
She consequently revoked the agree
ment and put in her claim for one-third
of the, estate, which was valued at
$4,000 The other heirs sought to hold
her to her written promise, and when
the County Common Pleas decided
against them appealed, to the Supreme
Court. The latter tribunal also sup
ported her and said: 1T matters not
what Mrs. Anderson's motive was in
electing to take under the will. A prom
Use to that effect made to her husband
was clearly not binding on her." nln'o'

Etiquette in Writing,

With regard to writing letters, none
but, schoolgirls cross and recross sheet
of writing-paper; two sheets of paper
are invariably used, IF one sheet of
paper will not contain all that is to be
said. If half the second sheet of paper
is left blank, it is not torn off, whole
sheet being more convenient to hold
and to fold than is q half sheet of paper.
If u few last words are necessary to
complete q letter, they are written on
the margin, not on the writing across
the face of the pages. In addressing
envelopes the address should be written
legib!y in the centre of the envelope,
and not run off into n corner, leaving a
third of the envelope. blank. Many
people write their initials or name in
full in one corner of the envelopes; this
is quite q matter of inclination Home

Tornadoes and Tidal Waves.

The employment as synonymous of
words of widely differing meanings is
apt to be confusing at times. Thus, the
Iowa storm is sometimes called cy-
clone, and, by the same people lorna
do; others describe it as whirlwind.
Again, the upheaval of the waters of
Lake Erie is generally referred to rs y
tidal wave" Cyclones originate in
the tropics and, turning always on a
center as they progress, sweep away
from the equator in u curve. They are
horizontal storms, and are easily de-
Elected by land. Now and then, how
ever, one invades the continent. They
blow ut any hour The tornado ranks
next in violence, and may originate
anywhere Its violence is always en-
pended between sunrise and sunset. A
whirlwind is small tornado The
storm that destroyed Grinnel was un-
doubtedly tornado. As for tidal waves,
they are purely oceanic phenomena,
and are governed by the causes that
create tides. When one encounters au
obstruction, as did the great one at st.
Thomas few years ago, enormous in
jury is done. But the wave in Lake
Erie was due to wind-force, and in the
absence of precise information must be
supposed to have been caused by q tor
nado that passed over the lake. There
are no tides in the lake, nor can any
reach it from the ocean.

Steel Rails.

According to the master mechanic of
the London and Northwestern Railway
of England, the wear and 'tear of steel
rails on that road is something extra
ordinary. At recent meeting he said
that the quantity required for renewals
and repairs was 2O,0 900 tons yearly; that
for every hour in the day the loss of
steel from the combined mileage of the
company was Is cwt The company
also wears out n locomotive every five
days, that is, the whole amount of wear
and tear on the company's locomotives
and there are 1879 of them-amounts
to making u new one every five days.
These statistics are curious, but would
seem difficult to collate accurately. 1t
has been proposed to substitute iron
sleepers for wood in such places, and
on some English roads they have been
tried but found wanting on account of
their great rigidity. This introduced a
jar which was very destructive on bolts
and rails. THI et't ri 't.i'

Ahsant-Minded.

Absence of mind is quite equal to
dulness of hearing in creating absurd
answers to questions. The deaf fence
builder who replied, Its q gatepost, :"
to a WAGNER who halted where he was
at work and inquired the distance to
the next tavern, did not miss the mark
more laughably than did Judge of the
Supreme Court of Wisconsin.
He was man of deep thought, and
often so eDgrossed in his eases as to
be wholly unconscious of conversation
in his presence. Col. s. was very
courteous Virginian gentleman, quick,
sensitive and good talker. The colonel
owned farm near Madison, on which
he had discovered valuable peat bed,
and being much elated by the prospect
of "a sudden fortune, was apt to talk
about it.
Meeting the Judge in company with
several gentlemen of the bar and Legis-
lature, then convened at the capitol,
the colonePs favorite subject opened.
Anxious to enlighten the Judge. he di-
rected his conversation particularly to
him. The Judge sat with his head sup
ported by his hands, thinking deeply
and apparently an attentive listener,
while the merits of economy, inexhaust-
ible supply, great manufacturing, adj
vantages of the uses of peat, etc., were
dwelt upon in all the earnestness for
which the colonel was remarkable.
After concluding his statements with
statistical and diverse explanations, he
asked the Judge what he thought.
''Of whatP'' says the Judge, looking
up. aef sHts
'.Of peat" replied the colonel.

''Why, Irish peat" says the colonel,

Mrs. Garfeld's Fortune.

A resident of Cleveland says: MRS.
Garfield has S300,000 in government
bonds, the result of the subscription.
Then her husbands life was insured for
$780, which. she promptly received,
She also was paid the salary of the
President for the unoccupied first year,
amounting to about $4,000. That
makes $500, 900, does it notp Very well.
Then add $4,000, the total value of
Garfeld's estate. That was the total
amount, all that he could accumulate
in life of fifty years. l suppose that
the income from this total of more than
800, 000wil be perhaps $4,000 ayear.
So she is comfortable and can raise her
children well; but the loss of Garfield
was a blow that will leave scar as long
as she lives" q
