A Hindoo Husbands strict Greed.

The Hindoo idea of marriage is curious:
A. man both day and night must keep
his wife so much in subjection that she
by no means be mistress of her own ac-
tions. If the wife have her own free
will, notwithstanding she is of superior
caste, she will go amiss. A woman shall
never go out of her house without the
consent of her husband, and shall pay
proper respect to her husbands father,
the spiritual guide and her guests, and
shall not eat until she has first served
them with victuals (if it is medicine, she
may take it before they eat); a woman
shall never go to a strangers house, and
shall not stand at the door and must
never look out of the window. If a
woman, following her own inclinations,
goes whithersoever she chooses, and does
not regard the wishes of her master,
such a woman shall be turned away.
If man goes on a journey, his wife
shall not divert herself by play, nor see
any public show, nor laugh, nor dress
herself with Jewels or fine clothes, nor
see dancing, nor hear music, nor sit at
the window, nor ride, nor behold any
thing rare or choice, but shall fasten well
the house door and remain private; and
shall not eat any dainty victuals, and
shall not view herself in mirror; she
shall not exercise herself in any agreea-
bic employment during the absence of
her Observation-Disclosures Call.

LIFE WITH THE SIOUX INDIANS,

At Fort Yates, DakOta-Fine Specimens
of Observation-Disclosures wooing.
The feature of the Clark Institutes
annual meeting was an address by Judge
Sage on his personal experiences among
the Sioux Indians, at Fort Yates, Dakota
in the summer of 1881. He was there at
the time the formal transfer was made of
the care of the Indians from the war to
interior department. He said that Sit
ting Bull, the great Chief, was not there.
He would not come until he saw how the
others were treated. One of the chiefs,
Gaul, he said,, had stride like Salvini.
AS soon as the transfer was made this
chief and others Immediately appropria-
ted clothing and other articles in sight.
The fort there was simply q space of
ground inclosed by picket fence, inside
of which were the officers quarters. The
Indians said they could eat up the garri-
son in a few minutes if they cared to.
He described the Sioux Indians as fine
specimens of manhood. They had finely
developed chests, small arms and
splendid legs. They were symmetrically
perfect. The dances they had, which he
described, he said developed the muscles.
When these dances were going on the
songs of the men, while beating on he
big drum, called the tom-tom, could be
heard five miles.
One way the young Indians had of
wooing the squaws he described. He
saw three young bucks standing together
one day with their blankets wrapped
about them. They waited until the
young squaws came along, and then one
of them stepped out in front of her, and,
throwing half of his blanket around her,
pulled her up to him. If she did not
try to get away it was considered that
she liked him. If she did he stepped
back and another fellow tried it, and so
on, unless one of them was successful.
The judge had on exhibition a lot of
souvenirs of his trip in the shape of
clothing and ornaments, implements of
war, etc., which he had purchased or
had been given to him. Among them
was an earring about twelve inches long,
which had been worn by Sitting Bulls
daughter, Sleeping Water" She gave
it to Mrs. Sage.
The ornaments were all very hand
some. He related his experience in
visiting Chief Gaul in his tent. While
there he unconsciously stepped on
ground which they considered sacred,
ON account of the death of child. The
only way he could make amends was by
giving the chief presents. Judge Sage
said that he thought that they were mis-
understood and moderated. He thought
that if they were treated fairly and
honestly they would be all right. Among
themselves they were perfectly honest,
and trusted each other implicitly. In
the division of food given them they
were very careful to give all fair share.

a Queer Charm for Housebreakers.

The "Hand of Glory" was most ex-
traordinary invention in the way of a
charm, and was adapted to the use of
thieves and midnight marauders, con-
veniently taking the place of the expen-
sive and elaborate tools now necessary
for the higher ranks of the profession. Z"
The "hand" must come from the body of
person who has been hung, and the
description of its preparation as a charm
has a touch of somewhat grim humor
about it. For it must be picked, salted
and dried in the most approved house
wifely fashion-sun dried, if possible;
but if that is impracticable, carefully
baked in hot oven. 1t then served as
candlestick to taper composed of the
following enticing Ingredients: fat of a
hanged man, the herb sesame and virgin
wax.
The wonderful power of this ancient
and peculiar dark-lantern was great
enough to recompense the possessor for
the trouble taken in its preparation. No
lock or bolt could Withstand its presence,
and the inmates of house were reduced
to a condition of cataleptic unconscious
ness by its potency, SO that the robber
need fear no interruption during his noe
turnal rambles. The only known anti
dote for this most uncomfortable inven-
ton was to have the threshold of the
house well anointed with an unguent
composed of the gall of a black cat, the
fat of a white hen and the blood of
screech-owl.- Catholic World.

After the ran of Fort Fisher.

The sides of the embrasure were of
logs and planks, and the shells had
SCARED and scanned not only the gun
carriage, but tha planks, and torn great
holes in the sand, to be filed up by the
next explosion. In those holes lay some
of those who had served the gun-a
proper grave for an artillerist-one ex-
cavated by the shell of the enemy. Out
of one of these half-flled craters pro-
jected the delicate hand and wrist of
what must have been quite boy, which
was covered with nice, dehcately
knitted glove-not a mitten-fastened
about the wrist by a silken cord and
tassel of light blue. Was it sister, or a
sweetheart, who had knit that glove for
their soldier boyf Whether or no, he
was dead, and probably killed by the
same shell that buried him. Of all the
things saw at Fort Fisher, think most
often of that hand, with its homemade
glove, pointing heavenward. S." in

Klling Fish in the Canary Isles.

One day when we We're on the beach
peering about among the pools at low
tide, we saw three men come to the edge
and gaze inteEtiy into the water, point
ing at something therein with great
earnestness. A couple of them i'm
mediately stripped to their trousers and
waded to an outlying rock. Standing
thereon for a moment and shading their
eyes with their hands they again care
fully peered into the water. Then l saw
one of them throw something into the
sea. 1t was a small cartridge of dyna-
mite, which IN second exploded, cast
ing up the water violently. The cart
ridge had fuse, which was lighted from
one of their cigarettes-for all were
smoking. Apparently every one smokes
all the time. Instantly after the ex-
plosion the men sprang into the waves
and swan energetically thither. Then
we saw that they had flung the torpedo
into the midst of a school of fish, and
that it had stunned many of them, who
were floating helplessly ON the surface.
One man carried a cord, ON which he
strung them through the gills as fast as
they were picked up; and thus they bag
ged in a few minutes fourteen nice fish
of five or six pounds weight each. The
men seemed as much at home in the
water as ducks.-Canary Isles Cor. De

REPRESENTATION AMONG pERsIANs

A Persian Scribe at work-Specimeno of
nIirza's Manuscript.
On our trip from Resht to Teheran we
Americans were always the first in the
saddle and generally a couple of miles
on the road before the meimander,
glorious specimen of his class-that is,
the great officer sent by the shah to con-
duct us strangers from the confines of
his country to his capital-was ready to
start. And we had to use all sorts of
wiles and work all kinds of spells on him
to keep up with us on the journey. But
it was only the certainty that it would
not only cost him his official head, but
also that magnificent gold watch Min
lister Winston had for him stored away
in one of his trunks, if he were left be-
hind, that aroused him to such an I'M
usual exertion. Without that he would
have arrived week after us at Teheran.
To see Persian write letter or sign
document is treat. He seizes his reed
pen with an awful deal of circumspec-
ton, and dips it slowly, hesitatingly into
the ink, then as slowly brings it on a
straight line with his optics and exam
ines it carefully, if the ink hasn't since
appeared-vanished into thin air, as
it were. Having convinced himself that
no such piece of magic has been per-
formed by an unseen power, he gets
himself into shape to pen his first letter.
This requires various painful and violent
contortions of the body, similar to those
Sammy Weller of Pickwickian fame
used to undergo when indicting his val
entine, and then the paper is seized,
again very slowly and unwillingly, and
brought to within six inches of the nose.
Then a dab is made. The first letter is
done. 1t is taken up and duly admired,
whereupon a rest of five minutes is
taken, when the same series of evolu-
tions and maneuvers is repeated to give
birth to another letter, and SO on.
watched a professional mira (scribe) the
other day. He was a man noted for
his quick work. 1t took him eighteen
minutes by the watch to write his first
line.
The amount of writing the average
white man will do in about half an hour
will keep Persian mirzas very busy all
day, and these mirzas, you must remem-
Der, are the salt of the nation; they are
the learned men, the philosophers, the
men of brain and thought. 1 was shown
a manuscript the other day, quite pretty
and odd, the writing almost as fine as
steel engraving and all the dots and tit
ties of which Persia has such an abund-
ance, executed with neatness and pre-
cision, but still not as fine as many
manuscript in European or American
libraries written by the indefatigable
hand of some good old friar of old.
There were no illuminated initials nor
any other fancy work about it-just the
plain writing. was told with exulta-
ton by Persian that this manuscript
had been written in the almost incredi-
bly, short time of thirty-six years. One
of the aforesaid monks would have done
it in twelve-month. These are speci-
mems of the insane love for procrastina-
ton the average Persian cherishes in his
bosom.-Teheran Cor. San Francisco

A LOST LOVE.

4--41t~
How long my soul had loved her. s
In years, can not tell;
When first her eyes of sunshine
Came in my heart to dwell a
Through days of bane and blessing -
Her soul my footsteps led; ~
We loved, and then we parted sly
We met, but she was dead. .s
The west was red with sunset, sd
Turned gray the eastern seas; aH
We walked alone together,
Where blossoms gemmed the trees;
We heard the song of waters
Kissed by the summer wind,
But peace, the white-winged spirit,
We nevermore could find.
The snow white lilies sleeping, *
The crimson rose leaves dead, z
The wind that stirred the blossoms,
But heard the words said. =
prayed of heaven to bless her, z,
While we two stood alone; q
then the white daylight vanished &
Twas night, and she was gone.
To-day 1 stood beside her, -
Where cold and still she lies. q
The earth is green around her SSs.
Above, the summer skies. -
And there 1 read greeting s7s
From out her heart of dust
White roses bloomed and blossomed,
To prove her love and trust
