Little Ruby's Cobwebs.
Philadelphia Call.


"Look up, Ruby; look up" said Aunt Katie
gently, as Ruby piled the broom in her coy sit
ting-room. II like to see you digging out the
corners and sweeping SO nicely along the edges,
but don't be like the man with the muck rake,
always turning your eyes downward. Look up,
and you'll see some hideons cobwebs festooning
the otherwise clean. pleasant room"
Ruby's eyes went up to the ceiling at Aunt
Katies words, while her broom quickly followed
'Inever thought much about cobwebs auntie, y
she said, as she ran her broom around the room,
taking down the ugly festoonings. Il don't call
them hideors, though
Il do" said auntie. ''for am always certain
when | see cobwebs in a house that somebody in
the house is not neat, and, of course, it must be
either the mistress or the maiden who sweeps. !"
Ruby blushed little at auntie's plain words,
but she was her truest, bestowed friend since
her mamma went to the home above; SO she only
laughed and said: "Well auntie, as / am both
mistress and maid. shall certainly have to plead
guilty this time but we'll see if do it again"
Anntie smiled as she continued: There is
another thing Cobwebs make me think of some
of our sins-besettng sins they are, too, some
times, like pride and selfshness. They don't
come to the front and get right
before us all the time. like our naughty tempers,
and so get swept out of the way. They hang up
in the corners and dark places of our hearts,
where we don't mind them, but where they
make our whole lives unclean and unioVely. If
we would but look up more, more toward the
light that cometh down from above, we should
and by Gods grace work away at them till they
should no more make our lives unclean and hate
full"
Thank you aunte." said Ruby; 1T is very
good text and good little sermon, and III try
and remember"

] was once the owner of a highly educated
chimpanzee. He knew all the friends of the
house. all our acquaintance, and distinguished
them readily from strangers. Every one treat
ing him kindly he looked upon a personal
friend. He never felt more comfortable than
when he was admitted to the family circle and
allowed to move freely around, and open and
shut doors, while his joy was boundless when he
was assigned a place at the common table, and
the guests admired his natural wit and practical
jokes He expressed his satisfaction and thanks
to them by drumming furiously on the table.
In his numerous moments of leisure his favorite
occupation consisted in investigating carefully
every object in his reach; he lowered the door of
the stove for the purpose of watching
the fire, opened drawers. rummaged
boxes and trunks and played with their
contents, provided the latter did not
look suspicious to him How easily suspicion

terror from every common rubber ball. Obedl-

Silent. stately walters were moving about,
and seeing this little ones plate empty, one

"a little twife if you please" she said.
The waiter procured it, and asked if she
would take anything with it, meaning a tart, or
something of that sort.
A lobster salad rested on the table in front of
the child and her eyes were attracted by the
pretty pieces of pink lobster mingling with the
green lettuce aud gold aud white egg.
''I1l take some of that" she said, indicating
the salad by wave of her little hand.
The stately waiter looked surprised, and

GETTING EAGLE FEATHERS.
Strange Customs of the Blackfeet Indians
Superstisious Rites.

William Shultz in Forest and Stream, gives q
picture of the superstitions of the Blackfeet
Indians of North America in regard to procur-
ing eagle plumes for personal decoration. He
says: "A few lodges of people in need of eagle
feathers would leave tie camp and move up
close to the foothills, where eagles are generally
more frequent than out ON the prairie. Having
arrived at good locality. each selected a
little knoll or hill, and with a stone knife and
such other rude implements as he possessed
dug pit in the top of it large enough for him
to lie in. Within arms length of the mouth
of the pit he securely pegged a wolf
skin to the ground, which had previously
been stuffed with grass to make it
look as life like as possible. Then cutting shift
in its side, he inserted large piece of tough
bull meat, and daubed the hair about the slit
with blood and liver. In the evening, when all
had returned to camp, an eagle dance was held,
in which every one participated Eagle songs
were sung, whistles made of eagle-wing bones
were blown and the medicine men" prayed
| earnestly for success. The next morning the
men arose before daylight and smoked two pipes
to the sun. Then each one told his wives and
ali the women of his family not to go out or look
out of the lodge until he returned, and not to
use an awl or needle at any kind of work for II
they did the eagles would surely scratch
him, but to sing the eagle songs and pray for
his good success. Then without eating any
thing each man took human skull and repaired
to his pit. Placing the skull in one end of at
he carefully covered the mouth with
slender Willows and grass, and, lying down,
pillowed his head on the skull and awaited
for the eagles to come With the rising of the
sun came all the little birds, the good-fo moth
ing birds, the crows, ravens and hawks; but with
long sharp pointed stick the watcher deftay
posed them off the wolf skin. The ravens were
most persistent in trying to perch on the skin.
and every time they were poked off they would
londly croak Whenever eagle was coming
the watch would know it, for all the little birds
would fly away, and shortly an eagle would
come down with rush and light on the ground.
Often it would sit on the ground for o long time,
preening it's feathers and looking about. Dur
ing this time the watcher was earnestly praying
to the skull and the sun to give him power to
capture the eagle, and all the time his heart was
beating so loudly that he thought the bird would
surely hear it. At last when the eagle had
perched on the wolf skin and was busily pluck
ing at the tough bull meat, the watcher would
cautiously stretch out his hands, and grasping
the bird firmly by the feet quickly bear it down
into the grave, where he crushed it's breast with
his knee"

Poe,s Kindliness to q Young sayant.

Trudging along the road near Pennsylvania

way-was suddenly stamped 10y young man.
He had pale face, dark hair. a high forehead
and 0eep-set, piercing eyes. He had serious,
unhappy air, but his voice was kindly as he bid
the young naturalist come to him.

be sure he understood them correctly. Then he
went on With each reptile and each bug he had
in his possession until the child had mastered his
fascinating object7lesson, the many jolnted
names of each specimen being firmly fixed in his
mind by some little history of the habits OF
each, showing how closely they had, one and all,
been studied by the teacher.
After the first meeting many others followed,

availed himself of the offer, and, in addition tic
the definite and precise information sought, the
teacher would criticise, with delicate tact, the
composition of the letter itself.

Running Down q Aan-Eating Tiger.

Pail Mall Gazette.
A railroad survey is being carried OF through
the North Cachar Hills in Assam. and among
other difficulties it encounters is the number of
man-eating tigers which infest the district. A
few weeks ago Mr.. Lodder the assistant engi-
neer, was setting out through the jungle to
work, in the early morning, with party
of nine men, when tiger suddenly
spranG forward, seized one of tho
Goorkhas by the throat and was off in an
instant Mr.. I4odder armed only with q Ratchet,
at once gave chase. Three of his men joined
him, and, following along the trail, plainly
marked by blood and bits of the mans clothes,
they ran the beast so close that, after a mile and
half, he was compelled to drop his victim.
What was left of the dead body was tied to
bamboo, and the little party pushed back with
their burden. Every English sportsman shoots
tigers nowadays, bat there are probably few
who, like Mr.. Lodder, have run man-eating
tiger down and robbed him Of his prey

soma meeks AGO a widow movs

Some weeks ago a widow moved
into Detroit from 4 town IN the
western part OF the State. She
brought with her bulldog, which
showed game in every movement,
ard il was not long before every
butcher and sport in the neighbor-
hood wanted TO buy that dog. The
widow wouldn't sell at any price.
The next thing to buying the dog
was to get up fight between him
and another canine of bloodthirsty
appearance. but the widow wouldn't
hear TO this.
"I want YOU to understand" she
Indignantly replied, " that | am a
respectable woman, and give no en-
conragement TO such things
Still. there we're one or two men
who did not despair. They began
to conspire, and as result they let
fighting dog into barn near the
widows house the other day, and
one of them paid a call at the house
and said:

feels about this dog-fghting. We

pends on their taking to outdoor
life and activities. Reading high
class memoirs which are in every

rice, one is distressed to hear the
continual story of weak health, and
women, vino, brought to face the re-
alities and efforts of life. immediate
ly droop, languish, and are a long
time dying. If they have a house
to keep, and a share of the actual
work, like Mrs. Carlyle, at Craigen-
puttock, and Chelsea, they sicken
mysteriously, and their life is a time
of wrestling with household affairs,
alternating with refuge on the sofa,
OF months in the doctors hands, in
that wretched, unimprovable state
which justiiies the sight Of much
tried husband who wished his wife
would get better or something !"

of my day and generation, wasted
life enough in attacks OF the familiar
household demon, nervous prostra-
ton, which only vanishes on turn
ing the patient out of doors. Twice

taken out of doors ten hours a day,
as good for nothing else, sun and

women to fashion their lives SO as to
spend them more in the open air
