How Capt. Boggs Beat the Redskins
Shooting at u Mark-The Results.
Capt Boggs, Virginian, who held cap
tains license on the Mississippi river before he
was of age, and who for fourteen years had
the contract to supply the military posts in
Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona
with fuel, tells the following story:
~ was down in the Ute reservation in
Colorado and had strolled down to the shores
of a small lake, while my mules and team
sters were eating dinner, when l came across
party of about dozen IndjIns. They were
armed with rifles and were shooting at a
snag which stuck out of the water about 200
yards distant. The stakes for which they
were shooting were composed of a quarter OF
dollar from each man. l stood watching
them for some time, and then decided to enter
the competition. Each man had three shots,
and the man who hit the snag the most times
won the pot The misses were told by the
splash in the water; the hits by the absence
of the splash
"After some parley with the redskins got
them to allow me to enter the match, though
they compelled me to deposit half dollar,
while they put in but a quarter. l had O
Henry repeater with me that, fortunately for
my purpose, was then unloaded. | was &C.

but knew that the Indians were not by any

my rifle, and as did so l broke the ball off,

splash followed any of my shots, and the In
dams thought had hit the snag every time.
l won that pot, but the next time l inten.
tionally lost by not breaking the balls off and
by taking Indifferent aim.
II then broke all the balls Off until had
won $18. Then the Indians, who began tc
look at me with suspicion or awe, refused tc
shoot any more. l invited them up to the
store, and spent the money on knick-knacks
which divided among them. l then tool
them back to the lake and showed them the
trick. They were very much surprised, but
took it in good part.

p,oo.st Account Books in America.


In Wall street banking house are to be
seen the biggest account books in America
They average from two feet square to the
bigness of the top Of desk, and the most
ponderous is load for an able bodied clerk
The covers are half ali inch thick, and mate
rial enough for a pair of leather breeches is
consumed in every one. When ranged in
order in the section of the vault consecrated
to them they present most magnificent
array. If Goliah were alive and in trade
these would be the books for him. have an
idea that their imposing appearance is one OF
their recommendations to favor, though as
sured that their utility is their chief title to
existence
1t appears, also, that these large and mas
sive volumes are specially calculated for self
preservation They are so solid and so firmly
constructed that they can resist fire without
the protection of a safe. In an ordinary con-
flagration, where the flames are not allowed
to play too long, these books will pass the or
deal with no worse harm than that their
backs will be converted into charcoal and
their edges scorched, but be otherwise intact.
The experiment has been made. When pro-
tected by a safe they are indestructible in the
fiercest flames In the matter of cost they
rival their appearance in magnificence.
Thousands of dollars are expended by the
house in question on its account books. Be
fore the war this expense was modestly re-
stricted TO a few hundreds. Indeed when the
house was counted very prosperous one its
full line of books in daily use cost little more
than one of their Brobdignagian SUCCESSORS

.uhr t. Button ChlI III, ,snars.

A clerk in furnishing store in Pittsburg
is permitted to tell The Penny Press, of that
city, allow to Button Your Collar" and tc
assert that mine well dressed men out OF
every ten have their collars ON the wrong
way" The wrong way, according to the
statement of the clerk, is in buttoning the left
side first, so that the right side laps over the
former. He claims that the order should be
reversed.
This may or may not be an essential in o
well-dressed man, but it is not half SO import
ant in a well-arranged toilet as is the correct
way of fastening the sleeve cuffs. 1t will
hardly be believed that nine out of every ten,
men or women, invariably button their cuffs
Improperly. If the reader will examine his
or her own, ten to one they will be found
wrong.
Now, what is the right way! Nauifestly SC
that they will correspond with the ordinary
coat and shirt sleeve; that is, with the upper
or outer portion tapping over the inner or
under part. A majority of persons will have
one lap one way and the other reversed
while many have both wrong, and only q
very few have both right. If anyone doubts
this let him examine the first dozen gentlemen
he meets, and he will find the statement
verified.
The mistake is made in the manner of plac.
ing the buttons in the cuffs before, they are
put on the wrists. They are evidently in
serted in the same corner of both cuffs, when
they should be removed, and, of course, when
adjusted one will be right and the other
wrong This is why greater portion is worn
in this way. 1t is quite as easy to put this
article of wearing apparel on right as wrong
and no one is properly dressed with one cuff
button one way and the other another way
To avoid the difficulty, place the button just
through the right-hand corner as the cuff il
held up and the other in the lefthand corner
and then, with little care as to which hanc
is to be passed through them respectively

AMONG THE CHINESE.
Their Curious Way of Electromagnetic
Age a Distinction.

Their Curious Way of Reckoning-Old
Age a Distinction.
The Chinese do not reckon their age from
the day II birth, but from New Years day
1t is OF this account sometimes difficult to
find out the true age of young children Here
is a tiny shaven-headed bundle of humanity,
scarcely able to stand alone for moment,
and you are gravely assured that he is
years old. If you have left the sacred rules
of propriety at home, you venture mildly
and politely to cast Just a faint shadow of
doubt upon the statement; or if you do not
discredit the parents assertion, but are still
unacquainted with the mode of reckoning,
you probably condole with its parents ON the
slight degree of progress he has made toward
maturity
Should child arrive in this world at II :55
o'clock on New Years eve, the fond father
will proudly assure you next morning that
the new arrival is 9 years old, and never so
much as think that what he says is untrue
Seeing that clocks are very scarce articles ex-
cept along the coast, and that even where a
clock is found time is very elastic and vari-
able quantity, one wonders how such matters
are determined in certain cases. The Chinese
90 not conceal their age, nor do they ever try
to represent themselves as younger than they
are. There is a much stronger tendency to
add to the stated number of their years than
to diminish it. On being introduced to a new
acquaintance the first question is, "What is
your distinguished surname9" and the second
is, what is your honorable ageF You reply
to one as readily as to the other.
Age is so much respected that it is consid-
cred distinction to be advancing in years.
There are eight or ten different names which
correspond to "Mr.," according to the APP
pearance of age, or real age, to which man
has attained, and the same for women. Be.
sides, it is matter of greater congratulation
as years go by that one has been spared to
add another year to the term of life. The
length of the reign of the emperor, the term
of official service, the engagements of ser.
wants, the period of residence in locality
all are dated from the new year Brooklyn
Magazine.
