VIII Meet Lake Competition.

CHICAGO, April 2t.-The Chicago, Burling-
ton & Northern railroad has announced that
after May IL viii reduce rates 10 meet lake
competition. It believed that the result of
this action will be another general collapse
In rates In the Northwest. No one knows
Just how much of n reduction will be made,
but it Is the intention OF the Burlington &
Northern to make as low rates between St
Paul and the seaboard via Chicago as tho
lake and rail lines make via Duluth. This
will be cut OF twenty-five TO forty per cent
under rates now in effoCt. In order TO con.
slider this matter a meeting of tho general
mnnaScrs of tho Northwestern roads has
been called for next Thursday.

East Indian Weapons.

Many OF the weapons OF strange
shape and character to be found in
India deserve special notice on account
Of their appropriateness to the district
in which they have originated, their
historical associations, or their indi-
vidual peculiarly of shape and quality.
The kukri, the national weapon Of
Nepal, is about nineteen inches in
total length, with an unguarded hilt.
Its blade, generally Of bright steel, is
incurved, heavy and widening toward
the point. 1t has more the qualities of
a good bill hook than anything else,
and this, indeed, was it's original
function, for the Gorkha requ red it
not only for fighting purposes, but also
to clear his way through the jungles
of the Terai. In his practiced hands
the kukri is the handiest of tools and
the most formidable of weapons-how
formidable those who have been in
action with the Gorkha battalions in
our service can well testify. Like the
kukri of the Gorkha, the big knife of
the Coorg mountaineer derived its
shape from the daily necessities of life
in dense jungles. The tremendous
monsoon rains which break on tho
mountains OF the west coast of India
develop an extraordinarily luxuriant
negotiation in the district, and the in
vabitants found the constant want OF
an implement to open their way
through the thick underwood and
clumps of bamboo. The Coorg knife,
the ayda katti, is about the same
length as the kukri, also with blade
incurved, but still wider and heavier.
One of its most remarkable character
istics is that it has no sheath, but is
carried, slung naked, ACROSS the hips
through slit in metal belt. The
belt is called todunga, aud is made
generally in either brass or silver, of
solid plate behind, fastening in front
with massive and handsome chains A
spike projects to the rear from the
center of this plate at the back. This
spike has no apparent definite use, but
it was remarked at the imperial as
semblage at Delhi that the Coorg
chiefs who were there in the costume
and wearing the arms of their native
country were not incommoded by any
crowd pressing on them from behind.

The peon Mexican women wear only
scapty skirts and a mantilla css eS.dy or

with the starch in it, and according to
degree they wear hats or mantillas Of

SHE GAVE UP HIS MONEY.
A woman's wit Saves Fortune
but Puzzles Man.

q
A woman's quick wit makes her, when
she has the courage to act upon IL, ,
valuable aid in an emergency: Some
years ago, in the days whom ssroad
agents" abounded in Montana, no
man was travelling by coach to join her
husband. One day fellow passenger
said to her:
81 have 81 900 in my pocketbook.
and feel uneasy about the road agents.
Would you mind conceaIing it in yoar
dress, and returning it to me at the end
of your journey? If the highwaymen do
stop us they are less liable to search yog
than me. &
She acceded to his request, hid the
money in her dress, and the stage drove
on without meeting road agent until
toward evening. Then the shout,
"Throw up your handsY' was heard.
The driver promptly pulled up as four
men ON horseback, with masked faces,
appeared in the road and covered him
with their pistols.
Two of the mghwaymen then rode 70
each side of the coach and ordered tha
passengers to give up their arms, which
they did promptly.
Now shell outl' said the robbers.
The passengers handed out their
pocketbooks; even the man who called
in the woman's aid gave up few dol
lars.
He was congratulating himself upon
his caution, when he heard the woman
say in quiet way: 81
II have got $1,000, but suppose I
must give it up.
Suiting the action to the word, she
handed over the mans roll of green
backs.
The robbers rode away, and then tho
man gave expression to his feelings BY
abusing the lady and accusing her Of be-
traying his trust from sheer fright.
She smiled mysteriously.
"You will see, sir; but can't explain
now"
At the end of the journey she asked
him to stay all night at her house, and
said that her husband would be glad TO
see him.
"Yes, ma'am, I will come to yQqr
house." he answered in the tone Of an
injured man; sits the least you can do,
ma'am, seeing that you have left me
without cent in the world.

him and said:
ssHere is your 81 900, sir, which my
wife ventured to borrow in an emer-
gency. She had $40, 900 which she was
bringing to me concealed in her dress.
She thought by giving up at once the
$l,000 intrusted to her by you she would
save herself from being searched by the
robbers.
Her quick wit saved me from heavy
loss, and / am much obliged to you for
the use of the forced loan"

Gathering In the Lambs.

Little P is learning great deal
at Sunday school now. The figure of the
shepherd folding his lambs in his bosom
has particularly impressed his childish
Imagination, and his tendency to recur
to it in conversation was accepted as
proof that his lessons were sinking
deep into his heart.
"Do you know how the shepherd puts
his lambs in his bosom?" he asked his
sister.
"Why, yes" said she, "he just takes
them and puts them there"
But he has to kill 'em, and cook 'em
FIRST" said little P.
"Cook them?"
"Yes, and he eats 'em, and then he
has 'em in his bosom"
And the boy stroked his chest and
stomach downward in way that left
no room to doubt his full appreciation
of his own theory as to the proper way
10 gather lambs into ones bosom.
