Noroich (Connl Dispatch to NJ. y. Tribune,
Down In the picturesque and rugged town
Of North Stonington the last remnant of the
once powerful tribe Of Pequot Indians live
on . State reservation set of to them more
than 100 years ago. They are about half
civilized and are rapidly dying out. the vic
Tins of the white mans cupidity and mean
less. Their houses are shanties and bark
huts, and they subsist by farming, hunting
and fishing. Their little village Is on the
shore Of Lantern Hill pend, and to the east
Of them, on the mountain side, is the cid In
dian burying ground, which contains the
ashes of many thousand Pequots. 1t has
been the tribal cemetery for centuries, and
Is an object Of great interest to every one.
Lately 1t has been cursed with pale faced
relic hunters, and The Indians have been put
TO much trouble to keep them away. A
stranger struck spade Into the large mound
over the tomb of one Of the Pequot kings,
the one which is said by The Indians to be
the grave Of Sassacus, and had dug In four
or five feet before he was discovered. In
stantly he was the object Of pursuit Of half
dozen Indians with their dogs and shining
reviewers. He fed to his boat, rapidly rowed
s.cross the pond, and 50 escaped from them.
The Indians have reverently filed up the
grave. They threaten to shoot the frat Of
the vandals they find prowling about the
cemetery hereafter.

A Pittsburg dispatch says: B. F. Jones,
the new Chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, owes his fortune TO his
shrewdness in taking advantage of an acci-
dent. About thirty years ago, when the
rolling mill of his then firm, Jones q Lsuth,
could have stood on Fifth avenue without
obstructing the pavement on either side, one
of the workmen got his heavy iron tongs,
weighing about fifty pounds, fast to bar OF
hot iron. The bar was already In the jaws
of the rapidly whirling rolls. There was no
time to release the tongs and they went
through the rolls under ponderous pressure.
Instead of being crushed and broken, they
came out at the otLer side fattened out oi
shape, of no more use as tongs, but bar Of
iron Of high polish and changed texture.
The firm made no fuss about it, but had 6
quiet consultation among themselves. They
set TO work analyzing aud experimenting
The result was, that instead Of discharge
the workman who let the tones 60 through
cold got bonus Of $4,000, and instead o.
the little one-horse rolling mill, the present
immense plant was constructed. II Is val
ued at 81, 100000. It makes cold rolled iror
under an exclusive patent at an immess'
profit, and the long head Of the lucky firm
who was made Chairman Of the Republican
National Committee, is a millionaire abou
ten times over. At the time the tsngs 90
fast he kept the books aud his partner looked
after the mill. Mr.. Lauth retired from th'
firm some years ago, and when the patent OF
the cold rolled process was reissued, 70
ceived 100000 from the new firm fer hi
share of IL.

New Sanitary Dangers.
Exchange.

It would seem that as sooa rs We have dis.
covered and guarded against hitherto un-
known dangers In our sanitary orga anization,
new ones are recognized of even more form
liable character. The ubiquitous bacterium
which proves to be the germ Of so many OBJ
scure diseases, has been found by M. Parize,
French savant, to take up its abode In
brick walls, not merely between the inters-
tices Of the wall, bat In the actual substances
Of the brick itself. Noticing some peculiar
mark on the outside of the wall, hs scrapsd
little off and placed it under . magnifying
power of 800, the result Of which was to
show myriads of organisms moving about
with extraordinary activity. 1t was more
singular that this red dust had been covered
with layer Of lime quarter Of an inch
thick. Under the Impression that the bacts-
ria might have been superficial deposit, N.
Parize then drilled hole into the very GEN.
ter Of the brick, and, to his great surprise,
discovered that the powdered material was
full Of the Same living organisms, although
not in such large quantities, as In the exter-
nal layer. To make sure that this was not
an exceptional brick, he carried on his ex-
periments 1t various places In the walls
and always With the Same result, that the
bricks were more or less imPregna.sd with
bacteria, which appear to flourish equally

Glass Pulleys.

That glass could be male to take the place
Of iron and other materials for certain me-
chanicsl purposes has istely been exempli-
fed In the manufacture Of glass pulleys for
cable railways. The advantages Of glass
pulleys are obvious. In cable railways, such
rs are In use over the Brooklyn suspension
bridge, and in the streets OF the cities, the
operation Of the cables over metal pulleys
has resulted in serious damage 10 them from
the friction with the pulleys. When the
pulleys are Of metal the friction is maxi
mum one, but no other substance hitherto
could be found sufficiently strong and tena-
cious 10 take It's place. Glass pullsys will
reduce the friction to minimum, and they
will last for an indefinite time. Mr.. ]. J.
Hardin, Of Chicago, has number Of different
sized pullsys made for experiment. They
are about thirteen inches In diameter, and
about two and one half or three inches In
width, with groove In the center Of the rim
to receive the cable. However, only the rim
or tire Is Of glass, the interior part being
composed Of iron made In the form OF .
spider, which fully supports the glass sxte-
rior. In this spider Is hole for the recep-
tion OF the axle upon which they run. The
thickness OF the glass from the surface Of the
rim to the iron part Of the spider Is only
about three -feuiths Of an inch, but the glass
is made extra tough and strong, and the pull
leys have been proved capable Of success
fllly resisting any pressure brought TO bear
upon them.

Make Yourself Felt While You Are Here
Burde.te, IN the Ha,ckeve.


Ny son, you may not be missed great
deal by q very wide circle Of people when
you die. 1t won't be necessary for you to
leave much money for tombstone. The
few people who love you, will know which
mound covers your sleeping figure, and they
can find it just by the ferns and grasses
that wave above 1t, and monument ninety
feet high won't make strangers care for you
or make them love you or make them re-
member you. You may not be missed a
great deal by very many people when you
die, my boy, but that isn't what you want to
think about. You want to make yourself
felt and noticed while you are here. That's
what you want to do. And that Is more than
most men do. Now and then you will meet
q man who actually rejoices In mean, en-
vious sort Of way, to think that In a few
years his more popular, prosperous, success
full neighbor will be dead and forgotten. IL
may be true. The big, wide world Is so
busy with the living that she does seem TO
forget the children when they fall asleep.
But you Will notice That the man VINO re-
joices in this Is usually man whom she has
forgotten while he yet lives; who Is not no.
ticed; who Is not felt or heard Of in the
world al all. Now do you 60 ahead, my
boy, and don't stop to wonder whether the
world will remember you and miss you 100
years from now-little you'll care for this
old world In hundred years; Heaven send
1t may be under your fee. then-you must 60

Damage Done by Prairie Dogs.
Albany (Teras) Ne,os.

dtOuty " eIuSJ NeDS.
The prairie dog Is standing threat against
the future prosperity Of the grazing districts
of the State. Draw line from Red river,
south to the Colorado, so as to run about the
western lines of Throckmorton, Shackelford,
Callahan and Coleman counties, and you
mark the front of the greatest immigration
army ever dreamed of by man. From this
line west $50 miles every square mile is in
tested by these dsvouring pests. They
thickly inhabit section of country 200
miles long and 259 miles wide. The advent
Of the white men into this country has but
increased their numbers, as man has de-
stroyed the wolves, badgers, rattlesnakes,
panthers and other animals which prey upon
the prairie dogs. They eat the grass in sum.
consequence is, that what was but few
years ago the finest grazing region In
America, Is fast becoming a verdureles:
desert.
Unlike all other animals in America, the
prairie dog is migrating, not west, but east
Only year or two ago his eastern line was
about the western line of this county. In I
short time he has advanced his frontier cas-
about five miles into Shackelford, Thrcck-
morton and the other counties lying nortl
and south of Shackelford. Unless checket
hs will soon ravage all the mesquite gras'
land in the State, and then will descend Ii
countless hosts upon the black farming liant
of Tarrant, Dallas, Collin and the othe
counties east of us.
1t is no exaggeration to say that $4,000,
600 does not exceed the value Of the gras
annually consumed by the prairie dogs il
northwest Texas. Could they be destroyed
instantly, as by stroke of lightning, tn
price of land in all the regions describes
would advance 100 per cent. as soon as th
| fact was known.

The Last One ON tho Sacred Elephant.

Two yeung ladies were gazing at the white

ing priests who were kneeling devoutly on

grand and solemn duty"
Jast at this juncture the animal nicked It's
tail and struck one of the Buddhist priests
In the mouth.
"Howly Mosesn he exclaimed, interrupt

then the young ladies strolled on TO the

A MOTHERS SIXTH SENSE.
She Removes Her Babe From Beneath q
Failing Wall.
Boston Courier.

boston courier.
Here is singular instance Of the working
Of that subtle, fine, sixth sense which Is apt
to Affect women more than men, and which
Is so mysterious in character that we often
incline to deny its existence at all. A lady
sat sewing quietly In her sitting room, and
in an inner chamber the nurse had just put
the baby to sleep and laid her in her basinet.
As the nurse came out Of the chamber she
said to her mistress:
"Tbe little thing Is asleep for three hours,
ma'am, I'll warrant"
q minute the mother sewed on. Suddenly a
desire seized her to 60 and take the sleeping
child from its crib.
"What nonsense" she said to herself.
"Baby is sound asleep; nurse just put her
down; shall not Co."
Instantly, however, some powers stronger
even than the last urged the mother to 60 to
her baby, aud after moment she arose, hatf
vexsd with herself, and went to her chamber.
The baby was asleep in her little bed, safely
tucked In with soft white and pink blankets.
Ore small hand was thrown over the little
brown head. 1t was half open, the exquisite
fingers slightly curved and the palm as rosy
as the depths of lovely shell.
"My baby" whispered the mother, adorng
the little sleeper as mothers will. "My own
little baby"
She bent over suddenly, third time i'm
pelled by that mysterious force which was
controlling her, and for no apparent reason,
took the sleeping baby in her arms and went
swiftly into the other room. She had scarce
ly crossed the threshold when a startling
sound caused her to look back. Through a
stifling cloud of thick gray dust she saw that
the ceiling above the baby's cradle had fallen,
burying the heaps Of rosy blankets and lying
heaviest of all upon that spot where, but for
her mystic warning, her little child would
have been lying.

DAWN.

On the upturned face of the quivering sea
Shimmered the dawn;
White bars OF light stole up in the sky,
And the night was gone.
Was gone-with the fear Of followed fawn,
And with hurrying feet,
To find in the shades of the forest glades
A safe retreat
The legions of stars that had watched
wearily,
Crept out of sight;
Up rose the helm of the advancing day,
And fast fed the night.
fresh wind blew from the edge of the sea,
From the gates of the east,
That FLASHED the tide on the feet of the land,
And the light increased.
And the glittering tips of a myriad spears
Shot up from the sea,
With guidons and penuants and lances of
light
A splendor to see.
hundred flags were upheld in the sky,
And unfolded there
Banners OF light that Glimmered and cleaned
In the morning air.
Then from the glowing east uprose
The kingiy sun.
And the sea grew gold as a stool for his feet
To rest upon.

How Roman Women Beautify Their Com
plexions.
Toronto Globe

Toronto Globe.
Compilations differ very much with the
climate. The English have, beyond doubt,
the most beautiful compilations in the world
American girls possess more beauty Of fea-
ture, perhaps, but their compilations are not
nearly so fine. As one goes farther south
toward the equator, one sees darker skins
and darker hair and eyes, for all these ply
sical characteristics have reference to eli
matte influences. Upon two things the con-
dItion of the skin depends--oil and coloring
matter. The skin of q very old man or
woman, for want Of oil, becomes like
wrinklsd, dried up parchment; an Albino
has scarce any coloring matter In his hair,
eyes or complexion. To finish I will give
ysu recsipe for beautifying the complexion
the one used by the danes Of ancient
Rome. Probably It Is familiar to many, but
there may be others who have never read 1t.
These ladies made stiff paste Of rye -four,
and covered their faces with IL on retiring.
In the morning they washed It of with milk
(they never use watsr), and applied little
powder II IL was deemed necessary. This,
We are told on good authority, is really the
best method Of improving the complexion
that has ever been used, either In ancient or
modern times. The rye -four Is said to posi-
lively draw from the skin any marks that
may have fingered on Il. Moreover, It
makes the complexion charmingly scft-an
effect which the milk helps to produce. Sew
sral Parisian bellies adopted this plan, and
1t Is rumored that the Empress Eugsnia
tried it. At all events the ladies who are
known to have followed the recipe Of the
Romans are also those who have been cele-
brated for their lovely skins. In spite Of the
opinion Of the clever druggist, this is doubt
less very efficacious in softening and bleach
Ing the skin. saa
