She Is Dangerous.

How short-sighted we men are! Here
woman in the Harvard Annex got by
mistake an essay before the judges who
were to award the 500 prize. The
judges, not knowing that woman was
the author, awarded her the prize.
This was not lawful, for women stu
dents are not permitted to compete ex-
cept for $50 prize, so the judges had
to revise their decision and give the
larger prize for an inferior essay. This
incident shows the folly which we men
are guilty of in giving woman an equal
chance with us. OF course, she will
beat us if we don't handicap her. Keep
her down. Voice.

THE APACHE INDIANS.
A Tribe Which Originated from the Out
casts of Other Families.

n lTtb0 WI OTikudtcu tToH tuo out~
casts OF other Families.
The Apaches are of low caste, so
far as Indians are concerned. They
originated, beginning perhaps two OF
three hundred years ago, from the out
casts of other tribes-from the Nava-
joes, the Moques and the Umas. In
addition to this, they have an admix-
ture of the blood of the Mexican rene
gades. whom, of course, they have
welcomed into the councils of the tribe
on account of superior and ill-directed
knowledge of territory to be pillaged.
as well as intellectual superiority in
general. They will eat what few other
Indians would gastronomically tackle
and are deficient In bravery and mag
nanimity compared with their brother
tribes. There are several branches Of
the Apaches. The Mescallaros de-
rive their name from the fact that
mescal-the plant from which mescal,
the well-known Mexican intoxicant, is
made-is one of the chief articles in
their dietary. They roast it on fiat
stones raised six inches or so above the
earth, under which fire is built.
Otherwise, the plant is boiled, and in
the early stages of its growth 1t is said
to be tender and succulent The other
tribes are the Coyeteros (foxes), which
is the largest; the Tontos Qools), who.
by the way, are perhaps the most
crafty of the combination; and the
Gilas, who are named for their prox-
unity to the Gila river, from the banks
of which, as old-timers may remem-
ber, Barnum in his early career bought
the "woolly horse" which aroused
the ire of "Old Bullion" Benton.
They were once under one chief, Man
gus Colorow, and, as illustrating their
conglomeration of blood, it may be
mentioned that the lately celebrated
Geronimo was son of Mangus Colo
row, by one of his captive Mexican
slave squaws, while Cochis was his son
by an Apache wife, and the before
mentioned Chaco was the son of Chocis
by Mexican slave squaw. Alto
gether, l don't really think the Indian
is quite so white as he has been painted
by the sympathetic as well as mer-
cenary novelist, nor is he SO red as
history and some of his enemies make
him. - Washington Hatchet

CHURCH WOMEN.
They Are More Earnest In Their Efforts
Than Men.

Than Men.
More women than men belong to
church, and a greater percentage OF
them are in good standing, not only in
sight of the pastor. but in the sight of
the world also. They are, as a rule.
more earnest, more exemplary, and
more inclined to attend to the duties
laid down in the church discipline than
men. Yet there are great many who
are ungenerous enough to say that
they do not mean it, but simply do
these things in order to win little
hotoriety.
This is ungenerous in the extreme.
Suppose they are more inclined to go
to church after getting a new dress or
more prompt in attending the Dorcas
Society when they have a bit of fresh
gossip to dispose of, what difference
does it make, so long as they attend to
their duties wellP
Women are more impulsive than
men, and more sensitive. so that 1t is
probable they feel better in new clothes,
and are more inclined to be sociable
when they have fresh item of news.
II this is true, may we not expect to
find them as earnest and prompt when
there are other matters of interest up
for considerations
Rev. Joseph Cook and Rev. Mr. Tai
mage tell us that the ladies in their
churches are more to be depended up
on than the men when there is work to
be done. These famous pastors preach
sermons especially for the edification
of the women, and rarely fail to in
clude something of especial interest to
them in their regular lectures and SER
