Captured BY SIOUX.

Sebastian Beck is German who has
had some remarkable experiences. Born
in the village of Heckingen, in Southern
Germany, in 1923, he is now nearly 81
years of age. He is shoemaker by
trade. He came to the United States in
1860. aDd until 1867 worked at his trade
in different cities of the State of New
York. In 1867 he enlistdd in the Union
army, and between that and 1870 he
was member of the garrison at Fort
Wyoming, Fort Russell and Fort Kear-
ney. 1t was at the last mentioned fort
that he received bis discharge. He then
resumed his trade and worked at it until
1875. Then he and two comrades hired
themselves out TO man named Carpen-
ter to go to the Black Hills to dig for
gold. Beck took his family, consisting
of his wife, two daughters aged respect
lively Is and 16 years, and his son aged
Il. When camped somewhere between
Deadwood and Custer City the party was
surrounded one night by band Of hos
tile Indians and taken captive. The
Beck family were bIindfolded and tied to
the backs of ponies, and carried off by
the Indians. Beck said he rode seven
days and seven nights without food or
waller, and at the end of that time was
permitted to dismount more dead than
alive His wife and children he never
saw again. The Indians, a tribe of
Sioux, compelled him to paint bis face
and dress in the Indian manner. Then
they married him to a squaw by whom
he now has two papooses. He was made
to earn his living by fishing and hunting.
He says he was in the vicinity of Big
Horn River where Gen. Custer was muir
dered and also afterward where Sitting
Bull was captured, At length, after a
captivity of seve. Years. Beck made his
escape from Britist Columbia, where his
captors now are, and by great difficulty
has reached this city. He speaks the
Sioux dialect fuently, and appears to be
attached to his Indian wife and children.
He is destitute of means. Prof. Sauter,
the musician, was schoolmate of Beck's
and gives him good characteristic.

How Watch Cases are MGde,

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap Of most cheap
silver cases is made Of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black IN short time.
The backs of such cases arc made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWa atch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.
ST. LOUIS no, Feb. II, 1883.
Inourlong and varied experienced in handling watches

WOMEN WHO TELL THEIR AGES

The common objection among wom-
ankind to letting their ages be known
Is not shared by the ladies of Japan,
who actually display the facts as to
their age in the arrangement of their
hair. Girls from 8 to Is wear their
hair interlaced with red Grape, describ.
ing half-circle round the head, the
forehead being left free with a curl at
each side. From Is to 80 the hair is
dressed very high on the forehead, and
put up at the back in the shape of
fan or butterfly, with interlacings of
silver cord and a decoration of colored
balls. Beyond 80, woman twists
her hair round she'll pin placed hori-
zontally at the back of the head. Wild
ows also designate themselves, and
whether or not they desire to marry
again. One may compare with this
remarkable hirsute honesty of The Ja-
panese a story told in one of the Ameri-
can papers of the reluctance of Ameri-
can women to adopt any such candid
policy. A theatrical manager was pro-
Quoting a farce in which one of the
characters was to be bald woman,
and it so happened that the actress who.
was cast for the part had no hair on the
top of her head. But, instead of avail
ing herself of this natural advantage,
she wore wig over the bare spot, and
laid thereon some palpably false bald
ness.-PdW Mall Gazette
