Counting the Indians.
HOW THE NOBLE RED NAN SECURES DOUBLE
The Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians have
always resisted an enrolment because they
were unwilling to have their true strength
known. When Gen. Armstrong was out there
recently the presence of the troops rendered
arguments In favor of a census very forcible to
the Indian. The last census taken was In 1874
and then IL was only an estimate OF the num-
Der OF Indians by lodges The number thus OBJ
tanned was 2,19S Of the Arapahoes and 3,7e9
of the Cheyennes. The present census showed
that the actual numbers were 1881 less than
their estimate OF ten years ago. But dur
ing all these years rations have been furnished
by the government to these 1851 Indians who
had no existence, which have been appropri-
ated by the other Indians, some OF whom had
two or three ration tickets. The cutting OF of
these extra supplies it is estimated by Inspector
Armstrong will effect saving OF Sos, 1897
year. Among other Indian tribes the same con-
dtion ofaffairs exist because Of their unwilling
ness to be counted, and 1t is proposed now TO
insist upon q com plete enumeration.

A newly-landed Irishnan enjoyed his,

ter his arrival in this country The
play was of the blood and thunder kind,
and therefore particularly adapted to
the pugnacious fancy of the Hibernian.
In the first act occurred thunder

This pleased him much. In the second
there was an encounter between two
regiments of supers armed with mus
kets. Again his Celtic blood grew
warm. In the third act was represent
ed first-class free fight, and he fairly
shouted with joy. just as the curtain
went up on the fourth act the boiler in
the cellar of the theater exploded and
threw the Irishman into the middle of
the next street. He gathered himself
up, smoothed out the dents in his skull

Freedom From Divorce.


Freedom From Divorce.
Early betrothals have never been as
general in Japan as in other Eastern
countries, and they are now decreasing
yearly. Marriages are arranged by the
respective parents, assisted by man
and his wife (mutual friends of the
families) a All intermediary. Contrary
to the usua4 notion on this subject, tbs
wishes of the young people are generally
consulted. The statement sometimes
made that the wife in Japan is mere
chattel 10 be ligatly acquired or disposed
Of is absolutely false. Divorces among
the better classes are scarcely ffiwe
frequent or more frequently sought for
than in many parts of our own country.
Our tricky divorce lawyer would starve
in Japan. If a divorce is demanded the
matter must be laid before the families
of the couple, with the intermediary
spoken of as arbitrator, and neither
the man nor the woman can be re-
leased from the marriage vow without
their. concurreriqe Az divorce must
result in the sending of the wife back to
the father for support, separations. ex-
cept for a grave and sufficient reason,
are not easily obtained. The position
of wife, and especially of a mother in
Japan, is all that true woman can de-
sire. It's not the custom, except on
special occasions, for women To mingle
socially with men who are not of their
own family by blood or marriage.
This restriction is not imposed by the
legal lord alone, it is part of the
family organization and by the family
imposed for the promotion of morality
and good order in society. Nothing
can exceed the beauty and harmony of
the japanese home. Disrespect and
disebediepce TO parents are rare, and
we have often been compelled to Con
trast the family discipline of Japan with
that of our own, much to our mortifica-
tion.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

Undersigned Cheating.

A West End gentleman recently at
tended poker party, where he INDUCED
in numerous glasses of wine and parted
with most of his cash. Midnight found
him onTremont Street with Just sixty-five
cents in his pocket-a fifty cent piece, a
dime and a nickel. Hailing herdic, he
requested the driver to take him to his
home on Boylston Street. When the
latter was reached, the gentleman, pro-
ducing his half dollar, asked the driver
if he had quarter. The driver, after
careful search, regretted that he had
nothing smaller than dollar, which he
produced. The gentleman. feeling poor,
was disinclined to pay double fare, and
the herdic driver was equally averse to
accepting fifteen cents for his fare. They
pondered the matter awhile and at last
a happy thought struck the gentleman.
II will tell you" he said, Frightening,
there are sixty-five cents; you give me
the dollar-that will be near enouohr'
The herdic driver handed over the dol
lar, thanked the gentleman for his kind
ness, and drove away; and the gentle
man, pleased with his own ingenuity. en-
tered the house. where it flashed across
him what he had done. Boston Globe.

The Jazail.

The Afghan matchbox or jazail has
no parallel as firearm on the face of
the earth. 1t is about nine feet long,
and is fitted near the muzzle with a
prong which supports it on the ground
when it is about to be fired off 1t is fit
ted with powder-pan and catch for
holding fuse. An Afghan marksman
has to depend upon the state of his fuse,
and therefore he is by no means a certain
shot. During the last Afghan war it
used to be joke among the British SOL
diers that an Afghan would poise his
jazail upon rock. calculate when his
enemy would be likely to arrive in front
of his muzzle, fix his fuse, and then 90
off to some little distance and sit down
and smoke. If the enemy arrived
in front OF the matchbox just as it went
off, why then he would most likely be
killed, but if he didn't, and the weapon
went off quarter of an hour after he
had passed it, then no harm befell him.
