ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.
English Csvairymen and Zulu Babies-Soa,
diers and Pappooses.

English Cavairymen and Zulu Babies-soa,
diers and Pappooses.
Two or three months ago several thousand
Zulus rebelled against their British con
querors and swept across a part Of ohe coun.
try. laying waste the homes of all who would
not join them. A large number Of loyal
Zulus took refuge in police fort at Nwan.ie,
TO which the insurgents at once laid siege,
and Gen Smyth sent flying column com
posed of the EnniskiIlen dragons and the
Thirteenth Hussars to relieve the beleoguered
people The cavalry soon dispersed the
rebels, and as they had orders 30 abandon the
station they escorted the poor fugitives to a
place of safety
1t was painful work toiling over the
parched prairies In the blazing sun, and
many mother with baby In her arns suf-
fered severely as. she struggled along trying
TO keep up with the column. But soon the
Enniskillens and the hussars came b the
rescue. Then the spectacle was presented of
bronDed and hardy regulars each with a
brown baby in his arms q balanced on his
horses neck before him, while the grateful
mothers trudged alongside reassuring their
trembling infants, who were inclined to dis
trust their new protectors It is safe to say
that by this kindly act the English soldier
stood revealed to these humble sufferers from
former British invasions in q light Ghey had
never dreamed Of before.
On bitter cold day IN November, 1862,
about a thousand Sioux women and children,
under the escort of volunteer troops, were
nearing the end of their long march 30 Fort
Smelling, Mimi They were the families Of
the captive braves who had besn engaged IN
the terrible massacre of the preceding sum-
mer. Uncle Sam had been fighting the
Sioux instead of feeding and clothing them,
and now the innocent among them, In their
thin and ragged blankets, weps suffering for
the crimes of their husbands and fathers. As
the mournful procession encountered the Icy
winds Of Ten Mile prairie, the little children
began TO cry most piteously. The sfglrs of
their helpless distress moved the boys in blue,
as by one impulse, to carry out instant mea,
sures Of relief Every blanket was I'M
strapped from the knapsacks, scores Of over
coats were thrown OFF the shoulders of brave
men who really needed them, and soon every
child In the caravan was wrapped in the
thickest of wpolens; and the least hardy of
the capttves ware slowed away under tho
shelter Of the canvas covered baggage
wagons. Only little while before these sol
diers had been targets, at Yellow Medicine,
Birch Coolte and bali dogsn other PLACES,
for the bullets of the red men whose fa1nilios
they now did their best to s1ccor.
The rough, hard life of the soldier in
campaign is not inconsistent with the exer.
else of the most humane sentiments.-New

To Make Good stick Candy.

In great room at long marble slabs stood

4 Pair of Fine Shoes

In pair of fine shoes there are two sewed
pieces, two inner soleS, two stifFenings, tive
pieces of steel TO give a spring to the instep
two rands, twelve heel pieces, two sole lin
ings, twenty upper pieces, thirty tacks
twelve nails in the heels and twenty buttons
to say nothing Of thread, both silk and flax;
but the wonder Is found in the rapidity with
which these nultitndinOus pieces are COM
bined in single completed work, for, as an
experiment, eastern shoe factories have from
the heather completed pair of shoes in less
than an hour and a half, and as a test sin
Gle pair Of mems shoes have been finished in
twenty minutes,
The shoe is, therefore, a triumph of human
Intelligence, for every step in its manufao
tuFe involves the employment of machines
which do the work Of mans hands. Besides
others, there are crimping machines, ma
chimes which make pegs and drive them in at
a single operation, screw mailing machines,
which from a piece Of wire on a roller make
a screw and drive II 10 its place tArough tho

What the Indians Have Cost Us.

The amount expended in Indian
wars from l776 to June 30, 1856, can at
best be estimated. The several In
dian wars after 1865, Including the
war of 1912 in the West and North
west, the Creek, Black Hawk, and
Seminole wars, up to 1860, were bloody
and costly.
Except when engaged in war with
Great Britain and Mexico, or during
the rebellion 1S60-1S65), the United
States army was almost entirely used
for the Indian service, and stationed
largely in the Indian country or along
the frontier. 1t will be fair to esti-
mate, taking out the years of foreign
wars with England (1S12-1Sl5(, $685.
GIG, 9l2.3s, and with Mexico (1S46-lS4S),
1913, S41 1872, and the rebellion 1851
1861 and reconstruction )1S65-lS7O),
So, 374, 1856, 360.O2, that more than three
fourths of the total expense of the
army is chargeable, directly or indi-
rect1y, to the Indians. During our
foreign wars, and the rebellion as
we'll, many of the Indian tribes were
at war with us, and others were con-
slant danger, large force being ne
cessary to hold them in subsection.
Still, expense on this account is
dropped from the estimate.)
The total army expense from March
4, 1889, to June 80, 1886, was 81, SIS, 49,
9A. Deducting S3,514,91l ,0O7.4S for
foreign wars and the rebellion, the re-
81 ,044, sos, 1852.
Two-thirds of this sum, it is esti-
mated, was expended for war and
other services inciden tai to the In
dians, viz: 1896, $3.50, 277.6S, for fortifi-
posts, etc., being deducted.
Total cost of the Indians to the Uni |
ted States:
Indian department proper, from
July 7st 1776, to June 30th.
Expended by War department for
Indian wars and incidental
thereto from July 4th, l776, to
