What Ouriosities Earn.

a manager in the show business says the
giants get all the way from $50 to $500 a
week. Colonel Goshen gets SO; Brustad,
the Norwegian. gets S75; Chang. the china
man, now in London, is paid f70 week
and his travelling expenses. Murphy. who
is also over there and who is the talest man
in the world gets about the same salary
Cooper, who was with Forepauyh last sea-
son, got $500. Midgets are more numerous
than giants. There are over one hundred of
them now on exhibition. Tom Thumb is,
of course, high-salared curiosity. Che
Nah gets Sl25 week. Jennie Quigley re-
ceives $50 week and Little Jewel is paid
S35. General Mite and Lucia Zarata, who
travel together get $500 week and ten per
cent Of the profits Of the management
General Totman is paid $50; Major Atom,
S75. and Major Dot $50. An armless won-
der,like Charles L. Tripp.who writes and 9TH
crwise uses his feet other people use their
hands, is worth $40 u week. The only leg
less man in existence, outside of Walter
Stuart. is Eli Bowen. who has only feet and
ankles growing out from his body lie COM

that figure.

the gathering of the tribe, suddenly the chief,
clad in long scarlet robe. embroidered
with needle work and his head decked with
waving turkey feathers, burst through the
open door with whoop that startled the la
dies. About dozen other Indians followed,
and the procession moved slowly around
the hall with a short quick step, each one
chanting the war-cry, Hi-hi-b-w-a! hi-hi-b-
Wa amid the contortions of the body and
pantomime of the hands. Music for the
dancers was furnished by the oldest man IN
the tribe, who sat at the side Of the hall
pounding a shot-horn against the wall in
alternate cadence with the stamping of his
foot upon the floor. The war-dance was
followed By the snake dance, executed with
more enthusiasm than the former. Taking
the shot-horn himself, the chief headed the
procession about the hall, shaking the horn
in front of him as though he was sprinkling
salt upon the floor Several squaws also
joined the dancers, and then the fun grew
fast and furious as the circle first closed
round itself like the coils of a snake and
then unwound again. During the dance the
cry was changed to Wa-ha-wa, wa-ha-wa
amid the notes of which the shot-horn could
be distinctly heard, shaken by the chief.
The sports ended with canoe race there
being three competitors. Senator McLaugh-
lin bet % cents upon the winning man, and
the paddles Of the Indians flashed in and out
Of the sunlight as they each strove to reach
the goal.

The Preacher They Wanted.

The faculty of one of our largest theolo.-
zeal semlnarles received some time since II
letter, in which the inhabitants of u small
town in Kansas applied to them for IA Young
Clergyman TO take charge Of their spiritual
education. The long and formidable array
Of qualifications which the minister must
possess, and the extremely meagre salary
attached to the position, threw the good
doctors Of the faculty into something ak in
to despair. After much thought. one of the
doctors suggested that the reply should run
thus: "The only man of whom We know
who could satisfy YOU is our revered college
president, now dead for some few wears, and
who. having accustomed himself to heavenly
food (air), could perhaps eke out hare suo-
sistence on the salary you propose" This,
after due delibcration, was rejected and the
next proposal listened to: ave know of no
one, except the Apostle Paul, who np.
proaches to your standard of piety he NIGH
preach of a Sunday, and get his living hy
sail-maklng on ek-days." This was at
length rejected, end the following reply hit
upon aud dispatched eve know of no man
upon earth good enough for you, or who
could possibly live on the salary you mention
We therefore advise you to make an effort
to secure the angel Gabriel, who could board
in heaven, and come down SUNDAYS To

THE IDYL WHICH A MORMON GIRL HAS WOW
IN INTO \ FANCY QUILT.

There is young lady here, says the Salt
Lake Heraid, who has been working IS
months on a quilt. There are about 900
pieces in it now, and it is not vet completed.
The quilt is regulated BY her beaux. When
she began her heart was chirruping to her
of somebody, and the quilt grew Won
derfully fast, and all the colors were bright
After while her friends noticed change
in her face, that her work progressed less
rapidly, and that sombre shades were being
introduced in the wonderful creation. At
ter few weeks more the work stopped
short. ike grandfathcr's clock, and was laid
away for six weeks.
But one morning after ball, though the
lady mad danced late, she was up bright and
early, the neglected quilt was brought FORTH
the sombre tints were all unstitched. more
bright colors were produced, and, as the
quilt grew rapidly under her deft hands, it
shone like 4 wreath Of wonderful flowers un-
der her eyes, and the song in her heart took
on the tone Of the lullaby which the mother
birds sings in her nest But this, too, stop.
ped after while, The sombre hue, were
recalled, and every bright square was en-
bosscd with a dot of brown or sable, until
the effect was that of half mourning robe.
Then new loyr came, grave and thought
ful looking gentleman Of mature years, and
for fortnight the work went on III silence
until border of Old gold surrounded the
quilt. SO II has gone on ever since some
times progressing with wonderful speed,
then, like Penelope. the work which was
wrought with song by day had been oblit-
Grated with tears by a.-nt; sometimes it has
been laid away for a week at time.
The reporter saw the young lady at work
a few days ago, The quilt was nearly com

meanwhile there was look of resolve
