In Zuni land the woman makes the first
advances looking toward marriage. 1t Is
right. The woman raises the family. She
transmits the name She sends to the
youth she chooses q basket of meal or
some peaches. and if he is inclined toward
her he forthwith makes present of '.pri
mary consideration, consisting Of Q pair
Of moccasins Of a whole deer skin, beau
tifully dressed and snow white. That
signifies that she is provided with shoes
for life. The skin is placed over the foot,
and then rolled around the leg and
strapped down with delicate thongs. You
can always tell newly married Zuni
woman by the large roll of deerskin. and
by the small silver buttons that adorn the
leggings. Whenever the foot piece wears
out it is cut off and the roll Is replaced
When the women become old the roll is
small
The only sanctifcation Of the marriage
Is the formal adoption Of the young man
after the acceptance Of the bundle. He is
then the stepson Of the girls father.
When the youth desires to consummate
the courtship be sends the girl dress.
which. theoretically, he weaves. That is
to show that he can provide his wife with
clothes. He works for her in the fields,
to show that he can provide her with
food. Each of those little things has
significance. They seem small. but they
are Of great importance. The Zuni In
dams are a small tribe. but in them is
condensed the history of the greatest
people that has ever populated the Amer
lean continent.-Frank Hamilton Cushing

Mr.. Julian Hawthorne advocates tho
Punishment of illustrations from the mag
azines in order that more space may be
devoted to the writings Of American eu-
thors. Mr.. Hawthorne's suggestion does
not tally with the notions that prevail
among magazine publishers. who ought
to know their business pretty well. We
happen to know of an eizinent poet who
was requested to furnish poem for one
of our leading magazines not long ago.
He complied with the request. and an en-
inent engraver was employed to illustrate
it. When it came to making up the pages
Of the magazine it was found that the IL
lustrations required more space than was
left on. the page after the poetry had been
put in type. Accordingly it became nee
essary to sacrifice part of the poetry or
part Of the illustration. Which had to
to go? The illustration Oh. mol 1t was
one of the poets beautiful verses.-Bos-

Recollections of Great Men.

Mr.. Christopher P. Cranch relates in
The Independent his memories of Web
ster, Calhoun and their contemporaries,
especially in the great Webster Hayne
duello in the senate. "The impression"
he says, 'Mr. Calhoun made on me, as he
sat there, Sphinx like, in his chair, as
president Of the senate, was that he had
the faculty-like Napoleon-of discharg-
ing all expression from his face He
must have had immense self control, and
was totally unlike the mobile Benton, of
Missouri. Calhoun, whom often heard
speak, seemed like a man of cast iron.
His voice was deep and strident. His
personality was very intense. Benton 1
several times heard. He was very stout
and ford, with light, thin hair. His
manner seemed to me very pompous. He
was verbose and grandiloQuent, and had
habit of interlarding his sentences with
sir TO degree that was sometimes al
most comic.
II once witnessed tremendously sharp
passage at arms between Benton and
Clay. They were on opposite sides of the
senate chamber-else | don't know what
might not have happened. Some personal
illusions had been made by Benton q
forget what, and then Mr.. Clay replied.
shall never forget his tone, attitude and
gesture, as he stood there, his tall, COM
manding figure all alive with fire, and
rolled off his fluent and sarcastic SEN
fences, shaking his long forefnger at his
antagonist, and glaring across the room
filled with anxious faces. ! happened TO
be not far from Mr.. Benton, and saw him
color and tremble, and even heard him
mutter with suppressed rage. Some of
the audience feared this encounter (which
involved a question of veracity, l think
might lead to duel, for those were duel
days in Washington. But | never heard
that anything came Of it."-New York
Tribune.

When They Leaya Is

The exodus of our bodily troubles is
doubly welcomed if their departure is un--
accompanied by pain. tits the fault of
the best OF compendable cathartics, which
act solely upon the bowels, that in operat-
ing they grippe and weaken these organs.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters produce lax
ative effect, but neither causes pain nor
weaken the abdominal region OF the stom-
ach. This is pre-eminently the Alternative
which a eopstipated, bilious OF dyspeptic
person should use. since resort 70 II
involves 10 bodily discomfort nor pro-
duces a violent reaction. The liver is
aroused, the stomach is benefited, and
nently improved by it. Fever and ague.
rheumatism and kidney troubles are
among the maladies for which recorded
experience has proved it TO be eficacious
1t is wholesome appetizer. and far
more reliable tranquilizer of the nerves

Interesting Political "Reminiscences.

Speaking a week ago AT his 10Th birth
day celebration, Ex-Governor Clafiin, of
Massachusetts, gave many interesting
"reminiscences Of his connection with the
Free Soil party. AS young man he said
he went TO St. Louis to establish himself
in business, and it was at that time that
he became a self confessed Shareholder,
and owned his first and only slave. A
young colored man was being offered for
sale on the block, and Mr.. Clafiins
brother and himself bought him and set
him free. Mr.. Claflin said that he subse-
quently came back to Massachusetts and
became interested in political matters,
aud TO his surprise was nominated for
the house Of representatives. In the
campaign that followed it was seriously
thrown up against him that he was q
STAKEHOLDER and was actually owning
slaves at that moment in Missouri. New

Paris Matrimonial Agencies.

The police divide the matrimonial agen.
cies into three classes. The first category
has for ordinary clients the nobleman
without fortune and the high government
functionary who has been retired on a
pension. The feminine element is gener-
ally recruited among the foreign colony,
orphans with dowry and rich widows
who bore themselves 10 death in the prov
inces. The second class agents negotiate
with lower grade functionsries, retired
officers and middle class folk, who are
poor but honest" III the third class Is
comprised all the agencies that accept no
matter who, provided they can extort a
good commission for their services. This
Classification h doubtless an arbitrary
one, but IL is commodious for police re-
Guirements. In the best Of these aeen-
ses, little II any advance payment is
required, but the applicant signs an
agreement to give 5 or more per cent on
the oowry within q certain length Of
time l hardly need add that the widest
agents manage TO touch" commission
from both parties.-Fraucis Leland il

WHAT THE CHIMNEY SANs.

Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted melody no one knew;
And the woman stopped, and her babe she tossed.
And thought Of the one she had long since lost
And said as her tear drops back she forced,
II hate the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And ehanted a melody no one knew,
And the children said, as they closer drew,
SITS some witch that is cleaving the black night
through,
Wis foiry trumpet that just then blew,
And we fear the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted melody no one knew;
And the man, as he sat on his hearth below.
Said to himself, 1T will surely snow,
And fuel is dear and wages low,
And I'll stop the leak in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted a melody no one knew;
But the poet listened and smiled for he
Was man, and woman, and child all three,
And said, 1T is Gods own harmony,
This wind We hear in the chimney

New Method of Making Rarreys

Barrels are now being made Of hard
and soft wood, each alternate stave being
OF the soft variety and slightly thicker
than the hard wood stave. The edges OF
TIE slaves are cut square, and when placed
together TO form the barrel the outsides
are even, and there is a shaped crack
between each staye from top TO bottom.
IL ths arrangement the operation Of driv-
ing the hoops forces the edges Of the hard
slaves into the soft ones until the cracks
are closed, and the extra thickness of the
latter causes the inner edges TO lap over
those OF the hard wood slaves, thus max
Ing tie joint doubly secure.-Chicago

Broadway's Well Dressed IdIers.

The well dressed idlers who border the
sidewalks in front of Broadway hotels
above Twenty-third street every after
noon ought TO be regarded as Poor Joes, {"
and ordered by the police to ''move on"
Their cigarette smoke, mingled with their
often not well chosen remarks and criti-
cisms upon passers by, and the evident
desire Of many 10 impress the women,
make them nuisance. No gentleman
should have the leisure to pose in front OF
a hotel or any other public place.-New

SUNRISE.

The world b speaking to me this fair morn,
Its voice is sweet and strong and manifolds
It has freshness as CT one new born,
II has wisdom as Of one grown old.
And would catch its faintest undertone,
The dreamy murmur of this white Tipped sra.
The browsing cattle with their shadows thrown
To westward from the hilloeks on the lea
That softened outline of the morning hills
Against the shining of the eastern sky,
The sunlit vapor which the hollows fills,
The shadows which athwart the vapor Lis.
All, what can mean this manifold clear voice,
Which speaks and waits my eager questioning
1t seems at first to only say Rejoice
Then comes a doubt it says some deeper thing.
