Indian Children,s Love of Fun.

Some Indian schoolboys found their
teacher had a very great aversion to frogs.
To them 1t was a continual source OF
amusement to see her run away from
them. One day boy caught one and shut
it up in the table drawer. The teacher
entered the room. All were in order, but
when she opened the drawer the frog, glad
to gain its liberty, leaped out upon the
table and the teacher made great ado
One Of the boys, in a gentlemanly way,
took up the frog, carried it to the door, and
threw it out No sign of enjoyment could
be discerned in their faces. They remained
through school hours retaining their
solemn dignity. Afterward as they told
of it they laughed until the tears came,
laughed over and over again as they re-
membered the dismay of the teacher
Why did they not laugh at first They
had not yet come into the ways of white
men enough to realize that we would eX-
cuse rudeness in our pupils, even under
these circumstances, and they consider it
rude to laugh aloud or to laugh at all at
the expense of another in the others pres
ence.
Indian children are in the house quiet
and orderly, they sit and listen to hear
older people talk and if anything is said
that is very amusing, so much as that
they feel that they can not control them
selves, they put their hands on their
mouths, and run outside to laugh Men
will laugh gently and quietly, and now
and then you may hear an old woman
laugh long and loud; if so, some relative
will say aside: "Hear how loud she
laughs, like a white man; she is I'M
womanly. "-American Missionary.

Killing an Endless Snake.

One day last summer while the troops
were being brought into Feat Reno, 1. T..
to be ready to suppress an outbreak
among the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes,
they found a great many snakes in the
prairie grass. In one day the soldiers
killed thirteen large rattlesnakes. A
young cavalry officer gave his experience
with an unusual specimen of the snake
family After going into camp about dusk
he started for the spring in a little ravine
near by. When not far from the ravine
he saw the object, which was about an
inch in diameter and of a Shiny green
color, dragging its. length across his path
with a rapid movement. Quick as a flash
he drew his saber and slashed it in two.
This only had the effect of quickening it
in its mad race for the ravine. He made
another and another slash, cutting off two
or three feet a number of times, but still
was not able to head or check its speed
until he got to the edge of the ravine,
when he saw, just below him, one of the
company horses, whose lariat he had been
chopping.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

The SALARY OF A JOCKEY.


Horse-Racing Expensive and Danger
Gus Business-A Riders Salary.
If any one believes that horse-racing is
not an expensive business when ones
horse doesn't win he has only TO look about
him to be satisfied A stable Of say twelve
horses or even eight is not kept up short
of from $40 to SO a day, exclusive OF
Jockey fees and railway transportation
There is a trainer at a salary OF from $50
to 500 a month, a foreman at from S15 70
800, and there are generally two darkey
Rrooms for each horse. Then there Is the
feed-stable outfit to be kept up and an
endless array Of little things TO be bought
Then there are the entry fees and forfeits
that in the course of the season amount to
a great deal of money.
The jockeys take great deal out of the
profits, too, when there are any. Ike Muir
ply, the colored jockey, who just now en-
joys the distinction of being called the
Archer of America, receives SC, 600 year
from Baldwin for the first call on his
services, and $1,000 year from Corrigan
for the second call. That is, when Bald
win has a horse in a race Murphy must
mount for him. When Baldwin has no
entry or it is withdrawn, then Corrigan
can call on the jockey. When neither has
a horse on, then Murphy can ride for the
owner that pays him best. What with
salaries, fees, gratuities and a turn now
and then at the pool box, Murphy is said
to have an income of SIS, 900 year. When
he wins big and unexpected stake the
lucky owner usually gives him from $500
to 81 900 as a present. Lucky Baldwin
gave him $500 extra the year he won the
Derby with VOlante, and $3.50 the other
day when he won it with Silver Cloud.
The next best paid of the jockeys is
Duffy, rider for the Haggin stable He
receives s., 600 year straight, and can
ride for any body else when Haggin has
no horses in the race. These are the two
best rider on the turf. Last year Muir
ply won fifty-five mounts and lost but
eighty-Eine; Duffy won thirty-three
mounts and lost seventy-nine. Kelly is
rider for Porter Ashe, and Withers, the
boy who was injured the other day, rides
for w 6. Barnes. Both are well paid.
Many may think it absurd that jockeys
should be enabled to earn such large
sums, but, wnen the hazardous nature of
the business is taken into account and the
skill and judgment required considered,
the boys do not seem overpaid.
1t is the most dangerous occupation in
the world. The liability of horses to bolt,
stumble, to shy, or TO do any one of the
dozen things that horses under excite
ment are likely to do, is almost sure to re-
suit in disaster if INDUCED in at the
nlghtful speed with which they 60 The
accident to Withers and the death Of his
horse, Forrest, the other day, was a start
ling illustration of the perils of the track
Again, some horses-indeed, most race
horses of high blood and mettle-are in
clined to be vicious and headstrong. They
frequently run away in their exercising
and training gallops and become uncon-
trollable. Such brutes are a constant
menace to groOms and jockeys, and acct
dents are far more numerous than the
public hears Of-Chicago Herald.

Desipn of a BIaek sIkIn.

A writer in Nature thinks the design of
a black skin is to protect the delicate It's
sues beneath. Flesh is very translucent
to a strong light and there is no doubt that
the rays of a tropical sun would light up
a white mans considerably, whereas black
kin would stop out the solar energy of
light heat, and chemical rays effectually.
Skin heat is of no Importance, as perspir-
alton can always keep that down. May
not the oiling of the skin in hot countries
be partly to make it reflective, so that it
should absorb less heat? And may not the
regard white races have for clothing be
partly for the purpose of keeping the in
sides of their bodies sufficiently in the
dark

Do you know how this popular fallacy
about fish being a brain food arose? MOI
1t was in this way All kinds of fish de-
cay quickly after death, and, like all ami
NAL and vegetable matter in this stage,
throw off phosphorus. This was noticed
particularly in regard to fish, because, as
1 said, of the rapidity with which it be-
comes putrescent. 1t was inferred from
this that the finny tribe was rich in phOs-
phorus, and hence especially desirable as
a brain food. AS a matter of fact, they
contain less than most kinds of meat, and
are little richer in this substance than
some egetables-appies, for example,

The ROYAL Langtry.

Early the next morning we found the
camping ground about mile up the road
toward Mirror lake. We pitched our tent
opposite the Royal Arch Fall, under a
huge tree called the Royal Langtry oak.
An inscription on a board tackled to the
tree conveys the startling information that
upon a certain beautiful midsummer day
not many years ago the famous English
beauty Iunched under the spreading
branches and bathed her fair face and
combed her luxuriant hair. But am told
on the best authority that no such brilliant
scene was ever witnessed by this grand
old oak, and the ELUSIVE superscription
must have been conceived In the brain of
of some ardent admirer Of that much-ad-
mired young lady.-Yosemite Letter.

1t alIays hunger to a certain extent, gives
