The Indian as he Really Is.

A correspondent in the far West
writes as follows f: Every tradition re-
peating the story of Indian bravery, gen.
erosity and hospitality fades like mist
before the actual man. The instinct of
baseness runs through the whole family,
from King Philip and Red Jacket down
to Sitting Bull. The common Instincts
of savagery are intensified in the race.
Brave only IN superior numbers or under
cover honest only in hypocrisy merry
only at the sight of suffering inflicted
by his own hands friendly and hospit-
able only through cunning and sub
timely mendacioRs always, tie Indian as
he is actually known seems poor ma
terial out Of which to manufacture hero
or frame q romance. Prominent as he
has always been in American history;
always the impeachment to be removed,
and afterward the dependent to be sup
ported Modified by semi-annual gifts,
oiled and pacifed by periodical talks
about the Great Father and blarney
about ''brothers )" through campaigns,
councils, treaties and tribal reservations,
he has but one redeeming fact upon his
record, viz. that he has never been
thoroughly tanned, and has never been O.
servant. Neither has the hyena. Most
efforts in his behalf have failed to alter
his status or change his life. Almost
everywhere the men are idle and the
squaws work. Almost everywhere her
education is limited to one lesson-to toll
and be silent. Almost everywhere he is
unwashed and entirely naked, save In
the respect of paint, swarming with that
industrious insect to which the Scottish
poet wrote an apostrophe. Almostevery-
where, each family is the manufacturer
and producer Of all articles required in
daily Life. Almost everywhere, each
family is self-supporting, and comprises
in itself the whole plan OF patriarchal
government. Almost always, the Indian
is the persistent and importunate beggar
on this continent. Almost always, the,
compendium Of an Indians knowledge
of English is the one word g How" or
'sHow" Almost all Indians will

Killed by Three Accidents.

A French workman took refuge from

beside the railway near which he was

Graph poles were blown down, and he

A Burlesquer's Beginning,

A young man who wants to become a
comedian of the burlesque order asks
how is the best way to commence. Oh,
we don't know. They commence in Diff
ferent ways. Some carry chairs at first,
and pull up the carpet, and stand around
holding wooden spears. But the surest
way is TO appear as heifer. Don't mis-
understand us. A young man who ap-
peared here last year as the hind legs Of
a stage heifer in burlesque opera is
now the leading comedian of the troupe.
We do not know how his experience as
the hind legs of a heifer helped him,
but he has got there, and gets a salary.

Ecnry Clay and Mime. DE StacI.

In looking over some old family pa
pers Gen. James Grant Wilson, of New
York, came upon the following unpub-
lished sketch, written for lady IN
March, 1899, by Henry Clay:
Your desire, dear madam, some line of friend
ly remembrance. What shall I say? You have
asked me TO record something Of the celebrated
Madame de Stael. She was the most extraord-
mary woman Of this or any other age, blending
the philosophy of our sex with the imagination
of yours. She seems to have been bestowed
on our race to vindicate the equal claim of the
female mind to intellectual excellence. l knew
this remarkable woman in Paris. l first met
her at & ball given on the occasion of the Peace
of Ghent at the banker Hottinuger's. "Ah !!
air. Siay,' size said, "the English have been
much incensed against you. I have been lately
pleading yoT cause at London. Do you know
they contemplated at one time sending the
Duke of Wellington to command their armies
against you?" [ told her that was aware of
the exertion of her eloquence In our behalf, and
thanked her for it. added that I wished the
British Government had sent the Duke.
"Why?" she inquired, with much surprise.
EFBecause, madam, had we beaten the Duke
we should have gained immortal honor, while
we should have lost none had we been defeated
by the conqueror Of Napoleon" I next saw
De Staei at her own house, where she intro
duced me to the Duke of Wellington, and re.
lated to him the above conversation. He re-
marked with much apparent feeling and grace
that he shorld have placed a most noble feather
in his cap had he beaten SO gallant people as
the Americans.

How New Hampshire Woman Lived
on $40 q Year.

In the Woman's Journal "T. W. 81. 4"
relates the story of New Hampshire
woman, who by the sudden loss of her
little invested property had remaining
only an old farmhouse and some land.
"The sufferer was wholly alone in the
world, had paralyzed arm and was
threatened with blindness. The only
work which her enfeebled condition per-
mitted was in the way of knitting and
making artificial flowers by these two
arts she could earn $15 annually"
Her whole available income was $40.
She apl ropriated one-fourth OF it for
reading. In her own very interesting
account of her life she says:

too i'll to work, and thus to do saved fire

hands and read awhile, and, when the
room became too cold for this, cover all
up and think over what I had read.
This saved me in degree from ener-
waiting myself still further by fruitless
poring over poverty and privations. -
As for food: One-fourth pound of
meal, cent; one fourth pound Of dried
beans, Il cents; 2 cents worth of salt
pork-4aa cents in all-would support me

my usual fare three days out of seven.
Three cents worth of barley, boiled
with cents worth of butchers trim

toward supporting existence. 3

baked fish. In cold weather pound of
oatmeal cooked Monday would serve as
a dessert through the week. Sometimes

like an epicure. Now and then I had
some kind of vegetable, as beet or q
sturnip, and from time to time bought O
few cents worth of butchers scraps,
more to season food than to be food.
Once month I indulged in baking OF
doughnuts, or got pound OF lard and

The woman Carried the Jury.

A woman In New York was sued for
the price of a dress. She was at once
witness and an exhibit, for she wore the
disputed dress on the stand, so that the
jury could see its faults. Faulty it was,
to tell the truth, and when she drew the
sleeve around her skeleton arm, to show
how loose it was, or lifted the surplus
cloth On her hips, or grabbed the excess
of material On her bosom, explaining at
the same time that she had ordered the
corsage to fit her like glove, the dullest
of the six jurors could understand that
the maker had erred The attorney for
the plaintiff, in czoss-questioning, asked
if she had not laced herself expressly for
this occasion, so as 20 make the dress
looser. She replied holy that Ler corset

was feeble from that time out. The jury

vice to young ladies': SIN order to in
vestigate oneself, it is we'll to find oui

about it. Take pen and paper and write
down as accurate description of your
self as is possible, and if you dare not,
find out why you dare not, and try an6

the face, mind as well as body. Always
have two mirrors ON your dressing table
and with proper care dress mind anc

are good for and what you can be made
into. The mere. resolve not to be use

people will, IN the quickest and most
delicate way, improve oneself. All &C
