Indian Ideas of Decorum.

We heard of girl the other day who was ''as wild as an Indian" But an Indian girl is not wild. No girls more submissive to the rules of her race and tribe than an Indian girl who is not yet corrupted by the proximity of the white man. She never goes anywhere alone, and she never passes man on the high way without turning away her head. If a man comes into her wigwam she con- ceals her face, and she does not stand within hearing distance of men who are talking. She lives up to her idea and her tribe's idea of what is proper and becoming. If she fails to do so, she places herself beyond the protection of her tribe. There is no safe place in this world for the girl who knows no law but her own willy r. Ledger.

"Don't kill old Scratch! chuckIe0 her husband.
 But even as he laughed, there came the click of the pistol, and Jim's pre- cious hen fell dead on the ground.
 "What hev I doneP" cried Aunt Melinda. "Why didn't you tell me she was in the way?" "She wasn't nowhere near you," insisted Uncle Jonathan; "and l thought you was goin' to shoot at the mark"
 Poor Jim was crying as though his heart was quite broken.
 "Never mind," said his aunt, pat ting his head. "rll buy you another hen, and we'll eat old Scratch for din- ner. Firin' pistols is always danger ous."
 Uncle Jonathan picked up old Scratch and carried her of to prepare her for cooking. He was gone long while. A
 When he came back Aunt Melinda had returned to her ironing, and Jim was sitting disconsolately on the door step.
 Look here what I found." he said slowly. 1
 There were some shining. particles in his hand.
 "Why, it looks like gold" said Aunt Melinda Where did you git it?"
 "'In old Scratch's craw, said Uncle Jonathan. "Pm goin' to take it to the assayer's. Whatever it is, it come out of our garden"
 The assayer discovered that what Uncle Jonathan brought him was six dollars worth of pure gold, and in few weeks the garden was leased to men who began sinking shaft.
 By the next Fourth of July Aunt Melinda, as the wife of a wealthy man, had grown better-tempered, and Jim went to school and was as independent and manly as though he had never worn a gingham apron.

Preservation of Wood.

The prevention of decay in wood is said to be effectively accomplished by exhausting the air from the pores and filling them with gutta percha solu- ton, substance which preserves the wood alike from moisture, water, and the action of the sun. The solution is made by mixing two-thirds of gutta percha to one-third paraffine, this mix ture being then heated to liquefy the gutta percha, when it is readily intro- duced into the pores of the wood, the effect of the gutta percha being, when it becomes cool, to harden the pores.- Scientific American.

Etching Letters on Steel Tools.

To etch your name on steel tools, pro ceed as follows: Clean thoroughly of grease, and then spread thin coat of beeswax, or paraffine on it at the place where the name is to be. This must be as thin as possible. Then, with sharp needle point, write through the wax to the steel. Paint this over with a mix ture of nitric and muriatic acid, in the proportion of six to one respectively, and, when bubbles cease to rise, the work is done. Wash in strong soda water.-Age of Steel.

Dress Shoes for Summer.

Ornamental shoes for dressy wear are conspicuous among all fancy shoe dealers. The toes in. nearly every case are elaborately ornamented in beads, embroidery, or otherwise. Straps and ornamental paste buckles are Tn great vogue. The prettiest shoes have a single strap buckled high on the instep, the open space below allowing the embroidered hose to be seen. The front of the shoe is cut very low, and an Irish diamond slide, similar to the buckle above, is threaded with a strap of kid to finish it. The backs of some of the new slippers are of abnormal height, reaching up the ankle nearly as high as a boot would do.-M r Post.

The wheels made deep ruts in the ground. crushing the stone pavements into the earth. Hundreds of people watched the operation.
