The Sioux Indians forming part ID the
Buffalo Bill Wild West exhibition on
Staten island, the other night enjoyed
their annual dog feast. There is a super
stition among the Indians that IL they
eat stewed dog ON certain day OF each
year the feast will bring good luck to the
tribe for the remainder OF the ysar. DIFF.
ferent tribes designate different days and
invest the event with the most supreme
importance. The other night was the
time for American Horse, chief OF the
band of Sioux on Staten island, TO order
the observance.
A common black, woolly dog was
purchased for 30 cents from hoy. Two
squaws held the dog firmly while third
with a piece of timber, knocked its
brains out. The carcass was placed over
a slew fire till the hair was entirely
singed off. One of the squaws then dex-
teriously dismembered the animal, as a
butcher carves sheep. The intestines
were rejected, but the liver and hear
were carefully set aside, the liver to bt
fried and eaten by the squaws as an es
pecial reward for their labor, and tn,
heart, being the prize part of the animal
to be reserved for the palates of Chief
American Horse and his squaw. The piece
were then put into cauldron of water
and allowed to stew slowly. When tn,
performance of the Wild West was con
cluded, the Sioux. led by the chief

chief and his squaw little in advance

A Central American writer says: 1.-THE
most beautiful tree have ever seen is
the mango. 1t Is the perfect ideal of 6
tree, from fifty to seventy-five feet in
hight, and spreading its dark green,
feathery foliage over circumference Of
$50 feet. Its shade is SO dense that no ray
of the fercest tropical sun ever strikes
the spot over which it stands guard. Its
long, dropping boughs give it the shape
of a huge umbrella of never-fading yer
dure. One tree will bear from 5000 te
5000 mangoes at time. The fruit
which is heart or kidney shaped, weighs
from half a pound to pound. 1t has {
skin like plum, and is bright colder
yellow when ripe. Its favor is com
bination of something like our plum
peach, apple and grape, with decided
resinous tinge. When cooked it makes
a delicious Central American apple
sauce, unlike anything we have in tha
United States. Chicago Herald

TWO DOZEN GOLDFISH BALLS.
How They Laid the Foundation for .
Profitable Business.


Profitable business.
During the business depression Of five
years ago a man called one morning al
the Placement door OF a house in the
upper part of the city with basket on
his arm. The servant who answered
his knock supposed he was beggar, but
something in the mans appearance when
he asked for @the lady of the house"
forced her to ask her mistress, who was
in the kitchen, to step to the door. The
man removed his hat and then uncoy-
cred the contents of his basket--de.
licious white. round Goldfish balls ready
for frying.
He told his story. He was book
keeper, but the firm had failed and he
was without position, and had been for
months. His wife, New England
girl, was an excellent cook, and had de
cided to make two dozen Goldfish balls, II
he would take them round and try tc
sell them. Here he was. The price was
cents apiece, and they cost about A; II
he sold the two dozen he would make %
cents, and that was more than he had
earned in months. Half Of the quantity
were bought at once, and a note written
to neighbor urging her to become 9
customer for the balance, and a partner
in drumming up other customers If the
fish cakes proved to be as good as they
looked. The man went away with the
promise of help if his goods deserved it.
He was to call the next day for the de
cision. The two women reserved part
of their purchase to cook and distribute
TO their friends and neighbors, on the
ground that 4the proof of the pudding is
the eating"
The fish-balls were delicious and inn
mediately after breakfast each woman
cooked the balance of her purchase, de-
posted the fish-balls in baskets. and
went about among her friends to gel
orders for the man. The result was thai
the third weekly delivery in the neigh
borhood was from a handsome carr
pushed by stout German boy, while
the proprietor attended to his customers.
In two months he had 10 deliver certain
days In certain districts he had so many
orders; besides, he kept stock on hand
at his house at all times. In one year
the lower part of house was given up
to the business, and restaurants, as well
as private families, were his customers.
A friend of the first man, in the same
financial condition, whose wife made
good bread, came one morning with the
seller of the Goldfish balls, having small,
lovely loves of bread, which he sold at 8
cents per loaf. lie, too, made 30 many
customers by the superiority of his bread
that six months later found him deliver
ing bread and rollsfrom o wagon. The
bread remained the same delicious home
made bread, made by his wife and
women whom she trained; twice a week
he delivers tea biscuit. Both men have
in five years bought the houses In which
they live. Christian Union

Rhaut Alexander III. Stephens.

Personally, writes Ben Perley Poore,
Gov. Stephens was brave man, although
he was Gfrom boyhood mere child
in point of physical strength. In 1S4S he
had personal alteration with Judge Cone,
of Georgia, a strong man, who held Ste
phens with one hand while he inflicted
several wounds on his arm and body. Then
pressing his head back, he held the knife
above his exposed throat. saying, 'Retract.
or will cut your - thrOat!' "Neverp
shouted Stephens. who. with great effort
seized the blade of Cones knife in his
right hand and held it until they were
separated. 4 surgical examination showed
that one of Cones knife stabs had pene-
trated to within less than the sixteenth of
an inch of his heart, while his right hand
was so mangled that he was never after
ward able to write.
He was, while in congress, feature at
the capitol. His bloodless, shriveled face
seemed almost like that of a CORPSE. as he
was wheeled about in his chair. with an old
beaver hat over his forehead. But his eyes
were bright and his intellect was unclouded.
He used to room at the National, where
his faithful colored attendant carried him
about as one would a sick lad. He generally
ate in his own room, and pork was his
aversion. Once new waiter. in bringing
his breakfast, had put plate OF sausage
meat on the tray, but to his astonlshment
he had no sooner put the plate before Mr..
Stephens than he found it thrown at his
head. In moment the Georgian's wrath
was over, and be gave the astonished
darkey half a dollar, with instructions
never to serve him with the unclean beast
in any shape. His favorite dish was fat
young raccoon, and the darkies in Virginia
always found him ready to purchase the re-
suit of successful coon hunts.

APARTMENT HOUSES.

The coming again of cold weather EN-
phasizes one disagreeable feature of life in
ST. Paul. the difficulty of securing within
convenient distance of the business center
houses which people of moderate means
can afforlsto rent. Such houses. doubtless,
exist. but for the most part are at such a
distance that with incomplete transporta-
tion facilities. they are practically out OF
the reach of those people whose business is
exacting in the matter of hours and con-
fnement. The one way to Obviate this
difficulty is by the erection of apartment
houses. and intending builders would do
well to consider the matter before definitely
formulating their plans for the next season s
work. There Is no question but that apart
ment houses conveniently located and thor
oughly equipped. could be filled at once
with a very desirable class of tenants, and
if is equally certain that. without charging
excessive prices, a remuDerative rate of i'll
terest upon the investment would be re-
ceived. The apartment house is the golden
mean between the trials Of expensive
housekeeping and the tribulationS of board
ing house existence, and while it may not
very perfectly realize the ideal OF fine
home. it yet fulflls the wants of very
large class of people. 1t is in catering to
the needs of these that investors will lind
a certain road to profit and to popularity.

1T WAS ALWAYS SO.

Some antiquarian who has been delving
in old political literature, has brought to
light the fact that campaign abuse was as
prevalent and just as virulent in the days
of WASHINGTON as it is in these latter days.
1t went to even greater extremes than it
does now, for not satisfied with abusing
WASHINGTON during his administration, the
opposition kept it up after he had gone into
retirement. When the Father of his Coun-
try completed his last term and stepped
down into the ranks of private life, an OPP
position newspaper, noticing the event, de-
clared that the nation ought to celebrate a
jubilee for having just escaped from the
gulf of despotiSm. The noted Tom PAINE,
of irreligious fame. wrote an open letter to
WASHINGTON in which he denominated him
rs an apostate and imposter. who was treach-
erOus in private friendship and a hypocrite
in public life. WASHINGTON never turned
aside to notice his traducers. He was con-
scious of his own integrity and purity of
character, and didn't care what the opposi-
ton said of him. The result was that
WAsHIN6ToN's name went down to pos
terity with an ever increasing halo, while the
names of his traducers are forgotten.

Ghost at the EeIepn one.


Iheard story not long ago of an under
taker who was called up in the night by a
ring which the central Office operator said
was from one of the great cemeteries, and
the voice that called him was so strange
that it made him shudder. 1t was wonder
fully distinct, and yet so slow, so cold, SO
far away. that it sounded like nothing else
that he had ever heard. 1t uttered not a
single word except long drawn out
Hello! Hel-lO-o-o! Hello O-o-O-or'
And the more he shouted back, the more
that one ghostly call came over the wire to
him. Dumf0unded at last, he hung up his
telephone and sat down, but meditated
uneasily, while the sound still rang IN
his ears. Then he jumped up and
rang for the central Office. "Give me
No. -" he called out. That was the cenl-
etery. Presently he had the connection.
''Were you calling me just nOw?" he asked.
scaling you? Certainly not. Haven't
called tonight" Then he objurgated the
central office. Certainly the cemetery did
ask for you," said the operator, land
made the connections" Next night the
same call came, and the shuddering under
taker heard the same ghostly Hello G
O." until he could bear it no longer. Then
the same colioquY with the cemetery office
and the central operator followed. L am
told that the undertaken grew almost insane
with the ghost CALL as he soon began to re-
gard it, and had the telephone taken out OF
his shop, to the great detriment of his
trade, but that he afterward had it replaced,
and though he has not since been called ur
by the voice from the other world he sits in
nightly dread of it.

THOSE DEBENTUREs.

Those local improvement debentures
Jbich the advocates of the Ontario plan
ak about may possibly prove to be the
most expensive evidences of debt that the
itv could issue. The proposition IS 10 issue
hem in the nature of certificates OF in
debtedness made chargeable only upon the
nronertv assessed for local improvements.
The result would be that when these de-
Ventures were put on the market the city
would be exceedingly fortunate if it realized
30 cents on the dollar of their face value.
There would be great temptation to paper
shavers and brokers and usurers to form
combinations for the purpose OF depreclat-
inc their value. This would lead to the
worst forms of wild cat specializing, and all,
too. at the cost of the city credit and at the
expense of the property holders. 1t would
probably result in doubling or treollng the
cost Of local Improvements. Once upon a
time st. Paul had some experience IN at
tempting to make public Improvements by
having contractors in debentureS. The re-
sult was that it cost dollar under that plan
for the same work that could be done for %
cents in cash. The only kind of debt GER
tifcates that could be fioated at par or any,
thing like it would be straight city bonds
with the credit of the city to back them.
However much the people of the city may
desire to adopt some plan that would lessen
the burthen of local assessments, they are
not prepared to adopt any scheme that
would result in harvest for wild cat spec
ulators. and that, too, at the expense of the
property holders. As the GLOBE has pre-
yiouslv indicated. this whole subject is one
that deserves the most careful considera-
ton. Time and study are required to solve
the problem in order that the city's interests
may be properly protected.

REST THE MACHINE.

The death of Mr.. Hox1E, general man
ager of the GOULD system of railways,
calls attention to an ever present danger
which threatens the great majority OF
American business men. but which they
persistently disregard. the danger of break
ing down through overwOrk. Though at
tributed to exhaustion resulting from sur
gical operation. HoxIE's death was I'M
doubtedly due to the fact that his over
strained system could not respond TO the
call made upon it, so his physician said,
and accordingly when tried little beyond
its limit, there came the collapse. Had he
been a man economical of his strength, ac-
customed to take periods of rest and relaxa-
ton to recuperate his exhausted powers.
then when the time of excitement, worry

REFUSING TO BE CoMFoRrED.

The Republican bosses in Minnesota
have been very busy ever since the election
trying to ascertain whose funeral it was.
The wheat ring gang claims that it was
Hon. KNUTE NELSON'S and Lieut. Gov.
GILMAN's obsequies, while the more gen.
eral impression in Republican quarters is
that the wheat ring managers are the ones
whose toes were tipped to the daisies. To
an impartial observer who views the stua-
ton from the topmost bOughs of forest
monarch it looks as il the whole outfit was
in mourning. At all events there is great
deal of distress in the camp. But as to
which particular faction-the FLETCHER
TIES or the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the most.
will be developed when the senatorial cleo
ton comes along. Somebody will be
buried at that time. and it will be an eX-
pensive political funeral.

THE DRIFT OF POLITICS.

In bewailing the probable loss of the
senate to the Republicans, GEORGE ALFRED
TOWNSEND strikes the nail most directly
on the head when he says the Republicans
have relied too much on the power of wealth
and the influence of corporations to elect
their senators. 1t is beginning to dawn on
the minds of the Republican leaders that
the masses of the people are awakening to
a consciousness of their strength, and that
in the future they are going to take more
interest in congressional matters than they
have in the past. Mr.. TOWNSEND has also
discovered that the young business men of
the country are rapidly allying themselves
with the Democratic party. This is because
they recognize in that party the happy
medium between the centraiizing tendencies
of the Republican party on the one hand.
and the demoralizing forces of anarchy on
the other. The result of the present ten
denotes of parties will be to drive all the
conservative elements into the Democratic
column.

STREET SPRINKLING.

1t may occur to some people that dis
cussioh of the subject of street sprinkling
is not entirely appropriate to the season,
yet upon reflection they will be convinced
that it is better to discuss the matter now
than not at all. 1t is true that nobody is
worried about street sprinkling just at this
time. nor will they be for some time to
come. But we are not so far into the win
ter as to have entirely forgotten the dust
nuisance of last summer. The people of
st. Paul do not want repetition of the
aff1ictiOn which befel the city last summer.
They want steps taken now to provide
against its recurrence. If the provisions of
existing laws are not sufficient to protect
the people of this city in that respect, then
it is all-important that proper legislation be
secured. Next summer is a long way off,
but when it does come we hope to see the
city authorities in condition to keep the dust
down.
