A Warriors Hidden Wealth.

The Chicago Ne,os tells of a long
buried treasure VIII CHI is supposed to
lie under one edge Of the city, but
which anxious fortune-seekers have
never yet been able to resurrect. The
story is this: When Mark Baubien
sold the lake front for 100000, and
the Indian chief White Feather re-.
ce.ve $4,000 of this money for re-
linquish ng his claim ON the land,
another chief, belonging 10 different
tribe, earnestly laid claim to an equal
share of the proceeds of the sale. 1t
was decided, however, that he was not
entitled to any Of the money, where
upon he waXed exc eding wroth and
vowed that he woull have White
Feathers money or his life. On hear
ing this White Feather gathered about
him few of h S brlves as a bodyguar
and fled, with his $4,000 in bu k.
skin bag. The other chief, with a
band of inEuriated followers, gave
chase. They overlook White Feather
and his warriors several miles south
west of the settlement AMI butcAered
every one of them in cid blood. But
Wnen Jney came 10 secure the coveted
wealth they coul | not find it. 1t was
not on the person of the dead chief
or any of his followers, and, as not one
of the hapiess band had been spared
to tell the secret of its whereabouts,
it may be imagined thai the
avaricious tiends fet sorry that
they had made such a clean
sweep with their tomahawks. 1t
is believed-and there seems to be nc
other plausible theory-that White
Feather sunk the bag of gold in
swamp or slough somewhere IN the vi
entity of the present boundary line of
the city on the southwest side. Many
white man has spent time and labor
in searching for this lost treasure. but
no trace of it has ever been found.

FASHION NOTES.

Feather fans are fashionable.
French gray is again popular color
in Paris.
Black lace fchus, large size, are
much worn.
Bronze shoes are worn to some ex-
tent in LONDON.
OF all colors, except white, yellow
contrasts with black most power
fully.
Narrow velvet bands, closely en-
circling the throat, are worn by young
ladies.
Wall-baskets are made in novel
shapes; the oblong form is especially
fashionable.
India silks of prismatic colors, a sort
of rainbow effect, are employed by
Kentucky bridesmaids for dresses.
Swallows are fashions fayorites in
Paris. They adorn bonnets by twos
and threes they are embroidered on
dress IS and parasols, painted on orna-
ments and stamped on buttons.
Five hundred yards of narrow rib
bon, which is scarcely more than braid
in width, are used on single dress in
rosettes, bows and loops that form a
fringe of which the whole vest and
taller are made.
The matched bonnet is a novelty.
1t is made Of gray porcupine straw
with round high crown and clingng
sides that are covered with punches of
grapes, berries or plums, and edged
with rows of pointed lace.
Star and shell-shaped hats are worn
by little girls. They are made of terra
Gotta straw, ca1et blue or brown, and
aretrimmed with a mass of ribbon loops
and ends punched together in the
middle of the hat. A wreath of daisies
or buttercups is inside of the brim next
the face.
Low shoes are universally worn in
the country and at the most fashion
allie hotels. Patent leather ties are
considered in the best style. and these
may have tan-colored or blue kid tops
with only tips of the glossy leather.
Low heels are in better taste than the
curved high French heels, and, OF
course, are much more comfortable.

HEALTH HINTS.

Try to remember that regularity in
eating and sleeping conduce to health;
order is natures first law.-Dr. Foote's
Health Monthly.
The stomach is the fountain which
supplies every part of the body. If
the stomach is sick, the brain, heart,
lungs, liver, kidneys and spine are all
sick. 1t is of the utmost Importance,
then, what goes into the stomach.
Temperate people rarely think about
the stomach. They fo.get that they
have one; while enormous eaters are
always hungry, or faint, or bloated, or
bothered with diarrhea, or cursed
with dyspepsia, or some other morbid
state of the digestive apparatus.
Manners at the table has great
deal to do with digestion. Polteness
must be set down among the means
which are greatly conducive to health.
Any act of politeness which we offer
our eaters interrupts the shovel
ing in business, and gives the poor
stomach a chance.

use of stimulants. In the case of the
