Adjusting Indian Bride.

Crowded in the tepee were about twenty
five persons. The blushing bride, in a bril-
liant dress cut en- train, stood by the side OF
the young warrior, who had changed his at
tire from one for warfare to that OF mourn
ing. Ranged On each side of the tent were
the braves sixteen in number in full paint
and feather each with plug hat.
Chief Charlie directed the ceremonies. In
few words she announced in Unite that the
father and mother of the bride had selected
Chavo for husband, and that Chavo wanted
Minnie to darn his socks, sew on his buttons,
and do such other duties incumbent upon the
squaw OF SO mighty warrior. Turning to
the bride and groom he asked the usual ques-
tions. They replied in Ute, whereupon the
chief stepped aside. The high-contracting
parties then seated themselves on the straw
in the middle of the tent. while around them
squatted the braves. Mrs. Sow-no-winch.
mother of the interesting pappoose, placed
around the brides neck an amulet tied with
deer sinew, and then the ceremony was COM
plete.
at another sign from the chief the braves
began to chant, rising in the vocal key louder
and louder, until the dirge grew wild and
weird, breaking forth in a harmony of sounds
that defied all musical scoring. From grave
to gay the group had passed with but little
interim. The assemblage by this time was
metamorphosed so that the scene was wild
and beyond description. All at once the COM
motion ceased SO sudden as to startle the
guests Exhausted, the braves sank to the
ground and the warrior and his newly-made
wife passed out from the group, he disappear

And that was ths end of the matter.
1t really seemed IS if the ring had brought
blessing into the house. Granaries and
barns were full TO OVERLOOKING, and in the
course of few years the poor farmer became
rich and portlv person, who worked with
his men a-feld during the day, as if ne, too,
had to earn his daily bread; but after supper
he liked to sic in his porch, contented and
comfortable, and return the kindly greeting
of the folk who passed and WHO wished him {.
respectful good evening.
So the years went by. Sometimes, when
they were alone, the farmers wife would re-
mind her husband of the magic ring, and sug-
gest many plans But as he always an
swered that they had plenty of time and
that the best thoughts come last, she more
and more rarely mentioned the ring and at
last the good woman ceased speaking of it al
together.
To be sure, the farmer looked at the ring,
and twirled it about as many as twenty

After thirty or forty years had passed
away, and the farmer and his wife had
grown old and y=hite-haired, and their wish
was still unasked, then was God very good to
them, and on the same night they died
peacefully and happily.
Weeping children and grandchildren sur
rounded the tgo collins; and as one wished to
remove the ring from the still hand as re-

father take ais ring into the grave. There

Popularity, it is thought injurious, but un-

stomach disordered, it is harmless and bene-
fetal, l. e., if one be hungry. Four to five
hours having elapsed since the last meal, in

bedtime. This seems heretical, but is not.
Food, of simple kind, will indure sleep.
Animals after eating, instinctiveiy SLEEP.
Hunlc1, beings become drowsy alter fuA
meal. Why! Because blood is solicited to-
ward the. stomach to supply the juices
needed in digestion. Hence the brain re-
ceives less blood than during fasting, be-
comes pale, and the powers grow dormant.
Sleep therefore ensues This is physiological.
The sinking sensation in sleeplessness is call
for food. Wakefulness often is merely ?
symptom Of hunger. Crafty the desire and
you fall asleep. The writer recently was
called at 2 a. m. to lady who assured him
she was dying. The body was warm, tli5
heart doing honest work. To he indigna-
ton, he ordered buttered bread (hot milk or
beef tea were better to be eaten at once.
Obeying, the moribund lady was soon sur
prised by a return of life and desire to sleep.
The feeble will be stronger at dawn It they
eat on going to bed. Fourteen hour lie be

the fuel of the body has become expended.
Consequently the morning toilet fatigues

glass of warm milk or beef tea before rising.
Increased vigor viii result. ''But the stom-
ach must rest" True. Yet when hungry we
should eat Does the infant stomach rest as
long as the adults? The latter eats less often
merely because his food requires more time
for digestion. Seldom can one remain awake
until half-past 10 or IL p m, without
hunger. Satisfy it, and sleep VIII be sounder
During the night give wakeful children
food. Sleep will follow. The sick should in
variably eat during the night. This is I'M
perative. At night, delicate children may
take, slowly, warm milk, beef tea, or oat
meal cruel. Vigorous adults may also eat
bread and milk, cold beef, mutton, chicken
and bread, raw oysters, all, Of course, in
moderation. Do not eat if not hungry. Eat

must be especially fitted for the business"
said headquarters detective to a reporter.
They go through course Of instruction, as a
general thing, and learn it as a child learns
to read. But no instructors viii accept as a
pupil any one with short, stunpy fingers.
1t requires for picking pockets-just as it
does for playing the violin-long, lean,
flexible and even sensitive fingers"

'tOh, yes-old experts who have reduced it
to science. Some Of them who are advanced
in years, or otherwise incapecitated for
active work on their own hook, devote all
their time to i,lstructing thieves and putting
up jobs for them. 1t is peculiar profession,
and requires peculiar talents, as well as pecu-

it success. The pickpocket out of a large

kind of man whose watch is likely to be solid

Each.
New York Sun
On the roof of five-story east side tene-
ment last night boy was sitting astride Of
the wooden frame to which the clothes lines
were attached. On chimney a little way off
was another boy. On the peak of the little
structure above the scuttle in the roof third
was posed. A fourth leaned as far out from
the front wall as he could without falling to
the street below. Other roofs all over that
part of the city had other boys in like posi-
tions. All of them held strings in their
hands, and up against the clouds in the east
hundreds of kites were wriggling and dart
ing around like tadpoles.
''Where did you get that kiteF' was asked
Of the boy on the gable above the scuttle.
Bought it, said he.
':How much did it costE'
Scent. Say, have yer got any string?'
''The penny kite" said dealer, sis a
simple affair, but those unfamiliar with the
business think it a marvel OF cheapness. They
are all alike in size and shape, but differ in
color The kite consists Of piece of paper
and three slender sticks. The piece of paper
is from one-eighth to one-sixth of full sheet,
ream Of which will weigh forty pounds.
The paper costs cents pound, SO the piece
for kite costs about one-sixteenth of a cent.
A foot of pine viii make sticks for sixty
kites. At the market rate for lumber they
will cost about as much as tie paper, or q
little more. The materials of the kite thus
cost about one-eighth of a cent. Sometimes
the paper is printed with picture of a horse
or yacht, or some other fancy cut. This
adds 25 cents thousand to the cost, but gives
variety for the boys to choose from.
"The paper, cut to the right size, is piled
on table on one side of a girl. Two piles of
sticks are at her other hand, and a pot of
paste and brush before her. She spreads
out piece of the paper and runs
the paste brush around the edge. Then
two of the longer sticks are laid
on in the form of an x. Across the cross of
the x shorter one is laid. Then the pasted
edges of the paper are folded over, enclosing
the end of the sticks. The completed kite is
laid away to dry. Cost for labor, one-six-
tenth of a cent. Cost of the kite, three six
teenths of cent. Some cost as high as
three-ffths of a cent, but they sell no better
| than the others. There is fair margin OF
profit all around

The Waste Of Food.

The United States is the paradise Of
butchers, and of all other classes who deal i'll
the staple articles of necessity or of luxury.
Even in the humblest homes there is vast
margin of waste and extravaganza. Miss
Juliet Corson has shown how a good dinner
for three or four persons, and embracing
several courses, can be provided for less than
a dollar: but il how many houses are her
excellent recipes followedl It is notan exag-
geration to say that two or three hundred
thousand persons could be comfortably sup
ported on what is thrown away every day
in the week in New York.

How LINCOLN Got a Room.

In Mrs Alice d. Shipman's "reminiscences Of
Illinois pioneers, published in the September
number of The chronological Journal, the
origin of Lincoln's intimacy with Joshua
F. Speed is thus related: "Mr. Speed
began his business life as a merchant
in Springfield, H., where he was set
tied when Mr. Lincoln came there TO
open a law office. One day as he was sitting
i'm his store in an interval of leisure, Mr..
Lincoln, whose ingrained awkwarfinesS was
then aggravated by youth, came up to the
counter and accosted him with visible en-
barrassment L want to know, Speed he
said, the cost of a bedstead and bed adding
a rough description which indicated the
cheapest kind of both. What you want,
answered Mr. Speed. will cost you about sl7 ,
At this Lincoln's jaw dropped and painful
expression of sadness and perplexity spread
over his countenance. Mr.. Speed, noticing
to signify that the price exceeded
Lincoln's means, quickly added: Mr..
Lincoln, have proposition TO
make you. My partner has just got mar
ried, and his bed in my room up stairs is va
can't. Ii you are willing 60 occupy it and
share my room with me you are more than
welcome The painful expression instantly
vanished from Lincoln's face as, with few
simple words of thanks, he accepted the offer
and disappeared In a short time he reap
peared with pair of old-fashioned saddle
bags on his arm, and directed by his new
friend shambled up stairs to the designated
room minute had scarcely passed before
he stumbled down again, and as he reached
the shop-room cried out, his face beamlns
with jocund content, We'll, Speed, I've
moved Henceforward until death Lincoln
and Speed were bosom friends"
