archaeological Puzzle.

In the shadow of the hilltop, out
under the trees, sat q pretty miss.
Hank. pray, to this word of description:
Her hat was like a coal %scuttle, perched
on her head, her rings of gold, her dress
pongec. She wore a seersucker apron,
tied with blue ribbon. At her feet were
her cat and dog. She read aloud a
psalm on mercy. The words melted
slowly away, when a boys terrible shout
startled her. He was 1oundering in a
swamp over his heels, but at last he
clambered out and went into a barn, a
clean looking building not far away.
Find in the above the names of fish
and other water animals to the number
oftwenty-two. Look through it carefully.
You will find the name sometimes all in
one word, sometimes partly in n and
partly in another, The letters occur just
as they do in the names-the thing is to
ind them.

Consolation for the Red Headed.

Ex-President Hayes nee told me that
he noticed that "the lei who had sand
in their hair and beard we're the most
energetic and pushing in life- | was told
by an experienced detective the other
day that bunco steerers and that kind of
gamblers known as s'sure thing men,
sever attempt to play any of their tricks
on red-headed men. I asked why, and
he said: Gas a rule red-headed people
are verv quick and eholeric by nature.
Their tempers are SC peppery that they
fy up like a flash of powder the instant
they feel aggrieved or wronged. They
are SO Quick to act that the moment they
feel that they have been swindled they
either fight those who have duped them
or call in the police On them. To be sue.
cessful, bunco men and the Others | have
mentioned must avoid publicity and n
toriety as much as possible. They dc
not want attention called either to them
or their methods. Knowing from ex
~perience the dangerous temper of the
boys with auburn hair they avoid all
unfair dealings with them as far as pos.
sible. Whenever you hear Of a red
headed man being approached by any
fellow with a swindling scheme, you may
depend on the tricksttr being new at his
business There is some compensation

The Queens Children.

1t is interesting to compare..the different
ages at which her Majesty's children
have been married. The Princess
Beatrice was married in her twenty-eighth
year, the Princess Royal married in hel
eighteenth year, the Prince of Wales was
married when in his twenty-second year,
the Princess Alice in her twentieth year,
the Duke of Edinburr in his thirtieth
year, the Princess Helena in her twenty
first year, the Princess Louise in her
twenty-fourth year, the Duke of Con-
nasght in his twenty-ninth year, the
Duke of Albany in his thirtieth year.
The united ages, at marriage, of the five
Royal Princesses make n hundred and
eleven years; the united ages, at mar
riagc, of the four Princes make one
hundred and eleven sSears. By striking
IN average one finds that the Princesses
We married at twenty-five and one-ffih

we have to cross hostile regions, where
there are horse thieves, Indians and other
marauders. We must be very determined
in all our fights. We never give nor ask
quarters. Weight until we are killed or
the enemy killed or forced to retreat.
We never desert our stock, even in the
lace OF death. We keep well practiced
IN handling our guns. We can do better
shooting at long or short range with our
heavy pistols than many soldiers can do
with rifles. We have them in open hol-
sters, all ready for use. There are times
when we have to cripple cattle to ave
our horses in a stamped, aud our pistols
must be constantly ready to our hand. IL
there are reports of hostile Indians on
the trail, we double up and extra arm
ourselves-generally two revolvers and a
Winchester carbine, 44-calibre, to each
man.
e"Then comes our boots. Many persons
ask me why the cowboys wear such high
heels on their boots. Some say to make
their feet look small. We have our boots
made to order, and made we'll. They
cost from $18 to $40 a pair. Sometimes
we have the tops stiff so they will not
wrinkle, because we have our trouser;
legs in them. aud if they wrinkled tht
trousers would work out. The heels or
our boots are often four or five inches
long, sloping greatly toward the sole o
the foot. This is to keep our feet from
slipping through the stirrup in times O
danger. They are also kept in a com

Origin of Well Known Songs.

A celebrated composer ono lost his
way in a dense forrest, when he found
himself on a path leading to what seemed
a large edifce in the distance. Meeting
a person on his path he inquired his way,
but the person made no response.
Meeting another, the same proceeding
took place, and also with six others that
he met.
He was at a loss to account for this
until he came to the building, where he
read the sign, "Asylum for Deaf
Mutes."
This explained it all, and he at nee
sat down and wrote "We neve, speak as
VIZ pass by.
Beethoven was once met, daring a
heavy shower by a friend who was I'M
protected from the elements.
'Lend me yonr umbrella" sighed the
latter.
The great master at once composed
the song ssWait till the clouds roll
by"
A composer of eminence being told
that his music was somewhat trashcy,
and that he had better ''turn over a new
leaf" at once wrote "NNhen the leaves
begin TO turn"
Frantz Abt once travelled upon a
western railroad where he was allowed
s'fve minutes for refreshments, in which
he eat a dollar and a half dinner;
observing the furious gulps made by his
fellow-travellers to get their moneys
worth in the limited time, he composed
"'When the swallows homeward fly"
Guglielmo once called upon a betrothed
couple, and was invited to dine with
them. The young man while carving

A Quaint Oriental City.

Writing about Canton, China, ". T.
Hornaday says in the Cosmopolitan :
What a wonderful old city it isl How
bewildering, and how interesting atevery
step! The city is all on the ground, or
at the very most it will not average more
than o story and a half in height. Where
the shops are thickest, ca h square is an
unbroken succession of wide doorways;
for of every shop the whole end next to
the street takes out bodily. From one
street corner to the next, there is only a
succession of open ended rooms and par
tition walls, with dark, narrow passages
thrown in here and there. There is no
architec ture visible, for the houses are SO
iammedstogeth IT that is is impossible to
single oat any one in particular without
climbing or the roof to see how much 1t
covers.
If this is not a street in Wonderland it
might as we'll be. 1t is only about eight
feet wide, and many are less. The ewes
of the houses on each side project a quar-
ter or a third of the way across the street,
and the remaining third in the middle is
very often loosely covered over with
boards placed crosswie. When the sun
is shining the streets are light enough,
but in rainy or cloudy weather they arc
very dark and gloomy, and the peculiar
twilight effect only adds another element
of straugeness to the scene. Thank good
ness, the streets are well paved with
smooth, granite fiagstones, one foot by
three. and being kept very clean, there is
no mud TO pillow through, e en- when it
rains. Pedestrianism is the order OF the
day. There are no carriages, carts, drays,
big freight wagons, omnibuses, or street
cars to run wei you, if you fail to get
out of the way; for all the freightis car
ried by coolies.
Now and then, however, your wool
gathering is disturbed by a stir and loud
shouting q little way down the street,
and you see the crowd parting to right
and left. Then you know there is a
sedan chair coming and you take shelter
behind a sign board, @ r in a friendly
doorway, or tiatten yourself against a
wall until the peripatetic nuisance has
gone by. But the streets are so narrow
that chairs are not very often used. They
move too slowly; it takes too much
shouting to clear the way, and when two
meet in q narrow thoroughfare n has
to be side tracked before the other can
get by. The use of the chair, therefore,
is confined to lazy merchants and officers,
weak women and swell Europeans, For
my part, l would not do Canton in a
sedan char if I could have a whole set
for nothing.
But there is one drawback to pedes-
trianism. As you pass along you are
obliged to be ON the alert to keep from
coming into collision with half naked
coolies, carving all sorts OF loads. All
loads are tarried in the same way every
schoolboy knows it, so l will not stop to
describe it. No M ter where you go,
you can be certain that every few MIN
utes one of these coolies will come puff
fling and shufiing along at a dog-trot
shouting every few steps to those il

How Bohemian class is Colored.

The o~rnamentation Of the glass is done
partly in connection with the exposure
in the furnace and partly in the finishing
shops, where the work is completed b.
cutting, polishing, furnishing, etching,
painting and mounting in metal. The
glasshouses have at their command a
very complete color scale for transparent,
Opaque and clouded glasses. But it must
not be supposed that q crucible is placed
in the furnace for each color, from which
glass colored for each ornament is to be
made. The colors are worked out by
means of what are called pastes, which
are kept on hand in sticks or cakes.
From pieces of these pastes, previously
warmed till they are soft, suitable guam
titles are cut of, laid upon the founda-
ton of white or colored glass, and then
spread out by drawing or blowing. By
this means only is an economical use of
such costly materials as gold and silver
compositions possible. Some of the
glasses thus treated-gold, copper,
and silver glasses-remain still
little, or not at oil, colored after the
melting, shaping, and quick cooling.
and do not take on that bright hue until
they are reheated. This il the case with
the new yellow silver glass. which con-
tinues uncolored after the intermelting
of the silver salt until il is exposed in
the furnace again. Very fine effects are
produced BY blending or overrunning OF
paste colors, provided proper attention
IS given to the laws of harmony. Ablue
