A DESERTED HALL.

The Somewhat Extraordinary Rules Laid
Down by a Texas Master OF Ceremon-
les.
Major Devlin, u. S. A., had for sew
eral years been stationed at San An
tonic as Depot Quartermaster. He
was a most amiable gentleman, and
had made himself very popular among
the citizens by many acts Of courtesy.
1t was therefore with regret that tho
citizens learned that Colonel Devlin
had been ordered to Portland, Orc.
As soon as the date of his departure
was made known, several prominent
citizens made up their minds to tender
Colonel Devlin a farewell banquet.
A meeting was privately called for the
purpose of soliciting subscriptions, and
this matter, rs well rs the other
arrangements were placed in the hands
of Fritz Bender, a German resident,
who went around with subscription
list.
"How are you coming on with the
banquet" asked Sam BENNETT, one OF
the committee.
II vas disgoosted." replied Bender.
'dose rich pccbles vat should pay five
tollars, dey comes NIT one tollars. But
never mind. gets evon NIT dose
misers. Schoost vait," and Sam winkcd
in mysterious manner.
The complimentary banquet was a
grand affair. The wealth and the
fashion of the Alamo City were present.
The banquet consisted of eight courses.
When the third course, which consisted
of fish and oysters, was brought on,
Fritz Bender got up, and in his deep
voice said:
"Dose schentlemen vich has SUBJ
scribed one dollar to dis complimentary

1t is needless to add that this was
positively the last occasion that Fritz

of ceremonies. -T'erds Siftinqs.

MADAME SENkI.
What Constitutes an Ideal Beauty Among
the Chinese.

What Constitutes an Ideal Beauty Among
the Chinese.
To have seen Mrs. KOk-Sin Senki is to
have learned what constitutes beauty
among the Chinese. Her features, as
represented by Russian traveller who
had the pleasure of taking her portrait,
are very pleasing, the mouth being of
the most approved pattern of that type
known ~ "Cupid's bow" and the eyes
full and almond shaped.
But Mrs. Senki by no means depends
upon her face for passport to the court
OF beauty; she has merely to put out her
tiny foot, to be admired by every es-
thetic Chinese soul. To possess small
feet, as every one knows, is one of the
principal conditions of beauty in China
The question of beautiful feet is one
of the first which occur to man in the
selection of q wife, and her merits are
greatly enhanced by her inability to
stand or walk without support. Thus
Mr.; Senki is particularly fond of his
Kok-Sin.
He is also very glad to introduce her
to Europeans, and valves the customs
of his country to the extent of allowing
her to see visitors alone.
In sitting for her portrait, she be-
guled the time by smoking, and occa-
sionally leased a small dog with her
foot, possibly for the purpose of calling
attention to the size of that member.
She could not even go upstairs without
being supported by servant, a help
lessness of which she was exceedingly
proud.
Some visitors one day played on the
piano and organ for her amusement,
and even danced, to initiate her into
European anxusements. She imagined
awaltz to be theatrical representation,
and when her mistake was explained,
declared:
.'Well, my feet could never do it,
The artist begged for leave to make
a drawing of her feet.
Another time" she said, and will
put on prextier boots"
He then asked for pair as a remem-
brance, which she promised, and duly
sent him. These boots proved to be ex-
actly one inch and three-quarters long.

MINERAL WEALTH.
The Vast Importance Of the American
Mining Industries.

The Vast Importance of the American
Mining Industries.
1t will probably surprise many of our
readers to know that the value of the
mineral substances taken from the
ground amounts, every year, to more
than four hundred million dollars. This
is not the selling value in market, but
that of the minerals or metals on the
spot where they are produced. The
total value in 1884 was about four hun
dred and thirteen million dollars, which
was less by forty millions than for that
for 1888. The chief Items in this enor-
nous sum were as follows Coal, one
hundred and forty-four million dollars,
the average price at the mine being only
one dollar and thirty-three cents ton I;
gold and silver, eighty million dollars;
brick and tile, thirty Millions; manufac-
tnYed fertilizers, twenty-seven millions;
iron ore,twenty-two millions; petroleum,
twenty millions; building.stone, nineteen
millions; lime, eighteen millions; cop
per, eighteen millions; lead, ten mil
lions. These items maize up three hun
dred and lightweight million dollars.
No other substance cort ributed as much
rs ten millions to tte total, which
amounts to an average of seven dollars
for every man, woman and child in the
country. When we consider the i'm
mense addition made to tho value of
these products by manufacture and
transportation, the vast Importance of
the mining industries may be realized.
For example, the iron ore consumed dur
ing 1884 was valued at only twenty-five
and half millions, but the iron and
steel made from 1t was worth, at the
furnaces, one hundred and seven mil
lions. These are figures for very bad
year. The value OF mineral products
in the next year Of good business will
probably exceed five hundred million
dollars. Youths Companion.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

From a paper by Henry King, on the
Indian Country with map, in the August
Century, we quote the following: Gun
questionably the first necessity of the
situation is to strengthen, perfect and
make uniform the land titles of the
Territory. This can most safely and
successfully be accomplished, it is believ-
ed, by allotting lands TO the Indians in
severalty,-at the rate, say. OF one
hundred and sixty acres per head, and
giving them personal titles thereto, in
alienable for stipulated pun Der of years;
and providing for the disposal, at Gov
eminent prices, of the unallotted and
remaining portions of their reservations,
for their benefit, to white settlers. La an
allotment of this kind, twelve million
two hundred and fifty thousand acres
would give each Indian, male and female,
adult and child, one hundred and sixty
acres, leaving over two-thirds of the
whole Territory to be sold on their &C
count-enough to bring them, at low
estimate, forty million dollars, or more
than five hundred dollars per capita.
Such allotment and issuance of individual
patents would involve, of course, the
dissolution of tribal relations-another
desirable step in the adjustment of the
general question; and the Indian would
thus be put upon an even footing with
the white man as to the opportunities
and advantages of personal independence.
At the same time, the laws common
throughout the states for the punishment
of crime and the enforcement of contracts
should be extended over the Territory,
and courts established to administer
them. In short, the fimsy theory OF
tribal sovereignty should be extirpated,
the reservation system replaced by fee
simple grants in severalty, the surplus
lands opened to white settlement and
the Indians placed under the restraint
and protection of ordinary and impartial
laws, with view to making them self
reliant and self-supporting'
