4 Fr0lfcsOne Squaw's Little
Joke

There is considerable humor il
the Indian, several heavy writers
to the contrary, Notwithstanding
The Phoebe Record is responsible
for the following:
An Indian, the fore part of the
week, at his wickiup down in the
valley, was engaged in heating an
old branding iron for the purpose
of branding his horses. While the
iron was heating the buck was en-
gaded in inspecting his horses.
While examining one Of the ami
mails, and being In a bending posi-
ton, with his back towards the fire,
little dreaming of the dose he was
to receive, a squaw, standing by
the fire, and becoming imbued with
that curiosity possessed by her sex,
and wishing to make practical and
scientific experiments with the
branding iron upon flesh herself,
she jerked the heated iron out of
the fire and placed it against the
bucks projected anatomy, burning
through the pants into the flesh.
As the iron tucheG the flesh, the
buck gave a genuine war hoop, that
was rc-echoed many times and
jumped high into the air, that
caused the other Indians to laugh
at his discontinue. Without at
tempting to extinguish his burning
pants, the Infatuated buck picked
up the hot iron and pursued the
fleeing squaw, caught and threw
her down, and pressed the iron un-
til it burned to the bone, and the
other Indians went to her rescue
That buck does not at present
chase the antelope oyer the plains
sitting in the saddle, and the
squaw does not gaze heavenward
when she lies down.

Buried Alive.

A word Of caution against reckless
haste in burial can hardly be uttered too
often. It is not necessary to search the
records of the past and bring forward
MANY horrible stories of premature burial
which can be found in them, for during
the first month of the year 1885, the
daily press reported two cases of this
kind. One was that of young man,
the other young woman. Both reports
come from Southern cies. Both tell how
the position of the body and other cir
cumstances discovered on reopening the
collins, disclosed proofs that the unfor-
tunate victims regained consciousness
in the grave and found escape impossi-
BILE. 1t is, perhaps, in Southern coun-
tries that such things are most likely TO
occur, owing to the custom of speedy
burial; but in every country and in every
case of supposed death some sufficient test
should be applied before going on with
the preparations for interment, and per-
haps the safest way would be TO wait for
some small indication of dissolution. If,
in Southern countries there is danger of
burying person alive through haste to
get the body underground, there isin
Northern countries chance of subject
ing living bodies to death in the ice box.
ANY one expressing preference in such
matters would. of course. prefer to be
frozen to death before being buried
rather than be buried alive It seems
horrible to contemplate the occurrence
of either of these mistakes at this stage
of science and civilization. - Health

AGolden Senate.

1t is a wonder to those who are famil-
lar with the relative value of the public
places Of Washington. says letter from
the National capital, that any Senator
should think for a momert Of giving up
his position there to 90 into anybody's
cabinet. A United States Senator in
good standing has as desirable a place
as there is in politics He Yields great
power, and on account of the length Of
his term has q great independence Thea.
too. States have grown into the habit of
continuing their Senators where they
manifest any aptitude. SO that the man
who reaches that body and is at all a
good manager has reasonable certainty
0f staying there a long time Then the
increase Of rich members In the Senate
has given that body social prestige
which generally follows in the wake os
the consolidation OF great wealth.
The money actually represented upon
the floor Of the Senate BY ownership and
outside relations Of nearly as close q
character would rEn very high in the
hundreds OF millions. / do not think
that it IS too much to say that five hun
dred millions in the way Of private in
terests are represented directly upon the
floor of the Senate to-day.

4 Scran 81 Tartar History.

The remarkable workmanship or the
Tartars is proverbial. Their favorlte
weapon is long, curved cimeter, quite
different from that Of the Turks. II y
made of the finest steel, richly alloyed
with silver, and q sword becomes an
heirloom Ia family and descends to the
first born so long as the family exists.
When the last representative OF race
dies his sword, which may have come
down to him from hundred generations
is broken and buried with him. The
blades of the weapon, which are beaten
out on an onyx stone anyil in the ancient
Mogul city of Taztchintzy (the Holy
Place., are very thin and the wonderful
feats performed with them are astonish-
ing. Once when Robo, the cousin OF
the great Mogul. was caught in rebel
lion, his execution was ordered. The
most skiIfuI swordsman of the empire
was provided for the beheading, and the
great Mogul and his court assembled to
see it. For q second the keen Tartar
blade flashed in the sunlight and then
descended upon the large neck OF Robo,
who stood upright TO receive the stroke.
The sharp steel passed through the veter-
brae, muscles and organs of the neck,
but so swift was the blow and so keen
the blade that the head did not fall. but
kept its exact position and not vital
organ was disturbed. In surprise the
Great Mogul exclaimed: "What, Robo.
art thou not beheaded"
my lord, 1 am, = replied Robo, but so
long as keep my balance right my head
will not fall off. (" The Great Mogul was
so pleased with tie dizziness Of the exc.
cutioner that he ordered bandege to be
tied on, and Robo speedily recovered.
He afterward became loyal subject, and
was made cashier of the empire, because,
as the Great Mogul remarked, HE
knows that il he keeps his balances
right his head will not come off. " IL is
one of those curious scraps of history
that are often overlooked. - ittsburO

HOW slcllIan Girls Get Husbands.


1t is said that in the Island Of Sicily
the girls get husbands in the following
manner: In the hospital at Palermo the
long dormitories were clean and orderly.
but the curious and peculiar feature of
this establishment was the parlation or
reception-room-a large, long room, the
greater portion of which was divided of
from the side and further end by an iron
grating, which forms cage, entered
only by we'll barred street door,
through which visitors are admitted
from the outer world. Here they sit on
the iron grating once week. On Sun
day morning from 10 to IL, this place is
the scene of the most novel and Judi
cious courtships ever described. One of
the objects Of this motherly establish.
ment is to find fit husbands for the girls
in its charge. The one requisite Of
suitors is much like that in society-the
young man is bound to show himself in
possession of sufficient means to main
tain wife in comfort before he is al
lowed to aspire to the hand of one of the
precious damsels. Having given in his
credentials of fitness to the guardian he
received o card which admits him the
next Sunday morning to en- inspection
of the candidates for matrimony.
There, sitting on a bench, If his
curiosity and ardor will ALLOW him to
remain sitting, he awaits the arrival, on
the other side of the grating, of the
lady superior, accompanied by girl,
who has been selected by order of senior
ity and fitness for household work from
hundred or more, between the ages Of
seventeen or twenty-one, waiting for a
youth to deliver them from their prison.
| After the couple look at each other the
lady superior asks the maiden and the
young man if they are satisfied. When
the betrothal has taken place they part
till the Sunday following, when the
young lover again makes his appearance
before the tribunal of guardians, and
the contracts are signed, the day OF the
marriage fixed, aud he is granted leave
to bring the ring, earrings and we'd
ding dress, and present them through
the gridiron TO his betrothcd. Every
thing has to pass the scrutiny of the sis
| tiers for fear Of letter or some tender
word being insinuated with the gifts.
During the few Sundays that intervene
between the first scene and the marriage
| an hours conversation within hearing of
the lady superior is allowed but not q
touch is exchanged. Should the young
man refuse the first aamsel that is pre-
sented to him he is favored with the
sight Of two or three more. and should
he still feel ditfident he is dismissed. The
marriage over, the task of the sisters IS
done.
