Some PeculiaritIes of Indians.

If an Indian is killed in o quarrel his
relatives are usually appeased by pay
ment. l remember once an overbearing
young Assinaboine buck came into the
Milk River agency and BENT his bow and
arrow on the agents pet dog. The agent
warned him If he shot the dog he would
kill the Indian. The young bnck shot his
arrow; the agent killed him. We ex-
pected to have some trouble, but the grief
stricken father came forward on behalf
Of the relatives, and claimed that, in con-
sideration that the young man, being
such q good buffalo runner, the agent
must pay for the loss of such q person q
red blanket, a piece of calico and four
pounds of sugar. He complied with their
demands, but the vengeful relatives
thereafter adopted him as their banker.
The mother and other relatives of the
slain young man scarcely ever met the
agent without embracing him and with
~endearing epithets begging for something
more in remembrance of the good buffalo
runner.
No gifted funeral orator can equal or
convey the impression of the mournful
tenderness, the exulting pride or the
gloomy despair expressed by the untaught
savage in this mere act of formality. An
Indian, man or woman, will be laughing
and dancing; in a moment the merry
circle will be left, n the next moment
the same person will lift up his voice in
heart breaking accents, the plaintive
notes will weep tears of mournful tender
ness, again startling defiance and war
will breathe with fierce energy the deeds
of the silent dead; then as the sorrowful
recollections, inspired by the fate of the
fallen relative, the high pean sinks to
such supplicating despair as suggests e
lost spirit lamenting its dismal fate. And
all this Is a mere formality, for the next
moment the weeper may be the merriest
of the laughing throng.-Forest and

Elastic Concrete for Pavements.

An ingenious employee of a New Jer-
sey concrete firm has invented a paving
composition which has some very re-
markable features. He claims that his
preparation. the composition of which
he keeps secret, is just as durable as
stone, but is soft and elastic to the tread,
so that it is not only pleasant to walk
upon but actually gives the foot an i'm
pulse like that-in a lesser degree, of
course-gained from a springboard.
Whether his invention be a possibility or
not, something of the kind would GER
tainly be acceptable to tired townfolk
whose feet ache and blister as they stamp
along on the hard and noisy pavement

A Russian officer gives the following
account OF an incident which happened
during the Tekke campaign, while he and
his soldiers lay encamped before the
enemy, who might at any moment attack
them. Some of the officers had gone to
the tent of a comrade to drink tea, and
after tea they had a second course, con-
sisting of cognac and wine. Soon the
camp rang with songs.
L dispatched my orderly, with q request
that the officers cease singing; but be
presently returned, saying that they
a~nxiously desired permission to continue.
What could be doneP To demonstrate
further with them might, in their present
condition, result in unpleasantness. AS
l meditated, the subaltern on duty came
up and said to me, in a whisper:
your honor, let one of the sentinels

What do you meanS"

at the enemy" he explained, with a
smile.
l guessed at his meaning, and was
highly delighted with it; only an alarm
could sober the carousing officers.
See to it," 1 said. "Be prudent; don't
babble."
went to my tent and lay down on my
bed, that 1 might not seem to be expect
ing anything. Five minutes later, from
some place far away in the line of sem
tinels, rang out a dull discharge. 1t was
echoed by another near by, followed by a
third and fourth. Shouts were heard,
"Ala-arml'
The drummer sprang out Of a neigh
boring tent, and beat the alarm. The
songs ceased in an instant. Cries and ex-
clnmations rang out. g.,
Where's my capf'
Where's my sword2"
There it is yonderl Give it here!"
1--WE must run down there as soon as
possiblel"
The shots became more frequent. The
drummer continued to beat with increas-
ing vigor. The garrison rushed from
their tents, and took their places along
the earthworks. Soon everything quieted
down. made the rounds of the fortifca-
tions, and found the officers at their
posts.
For O quarter of an hour we stood thus,
in expectation of an attack; then 1 dis
missed the company to their places, and
the camp returned to silence.-Youth's

LOADED SHOTGUN SHELLS.
With Peters Patent Fasteningsf for Cartridges.
Pattern Improved. Penetration Increased. RecoH Diminished and
Founng of Gun Chamber Prevented.

Has the sole control in the United States of the Peters Patents, both
as pertaining to Loading Machines and the lamentations for securing
the load in the shell. The machines arr run by steam and are auto,
matte throughout. The wads are of elastic wood felt, perfectly
fabricated. They are cut several sizes larger and compressed into
shell nth in the act &C Of Gf loading The Tn extra size and quality of the wads
Especial Smith or Parker loads unnecessary. Each machine has a
regular working capacity of sixty cartridges per minute, and may
even be run at a much greater speed and do good work. Having a
steady and powerful movement the wads are seated level, and with
proper pressure, while the charges r uniform. The Indentatons
for holding the load are made at the moment of greatest compression
The superiority of this method of fastening over the ordinary crmp
has been proven by searching tests. 1t has been found to improve
pattern, increase penetration and prevent fouling of shell chamber
and leading OF shoulder. The recoil is greatly diminished. Indeed,
the method of fastening and the whole work of the machine produces
the very perfection of Shotgun Ammunition. The most fattering
testimonials are coming in from all parts of the country. Amateur
and Professional Sportsmen are alike delighted. For sale by

Attention is called to the fact that
while inventive genius has done so much

for the comfort of short distance riders,
who are much more numerous. Let the
