Can't. Custer and the Chief.

cit is a source of wonder to the
whites" says Mr.. McFadden, ''that the
bodies of Gen. Custer and his brother
Tom were not mutilated in the massacre.
1t is well known that the treacherous
chief Rain-in-the-Face had sworn that he
would eat Tom Clusters heart. The way
he came to make that threat was this:
tRain-in-the-Face had committed some
depreciation in Nebraska for which he was
wanted by the United States officers
horse stealing, l think it was. He took
refuge at Standing Rock, and Gen. Gus
ter sent a sergeant with a detail from
Fort Lincoln to bring him in. The
sergeant was compelled to return with
out his prisoner. The general then said
to his brother, Tom, go to Standing
Rock and bring back Rain-in-the-Fac or
leave your own body there The cap
tain, who never refused to obey orders,
started on his errand with a detail of cav
airy.
1T so happened hat the day he
reached Standing Rock was the day on
which rations were issued at the agency.
There were fully 5000 Indians at the
place. Capt. Custer placed his detail so
us to surround the trading post. He dis
mounted, and, with a revolver in one
hand and a sword in the other, entered
the building. When he got inside he
asked, Where is Rain-in-the-F ace?'
Silence fell on the ROOM, which was
crowded with friends of the chief. The
captain then told the interpreter to point
out Rain-in-the- Face. This was done,
and stepping up to him the intrepid
cavalry officer placed the muzzle Of his
revolver at the Indians head and said:
'Rain-in-the-F Face, I want you. If
you make an attempt to escape I'll shoot
you If your friends interfere l will
blow your brains out l have but one
life to lose, and if they shoot me you will

The researches of NJ. Teisserenc de
Bort show a marked tendency of the
earth's cloudiness throughout the year
to arrange itself In zones parallel to the
equator. A belt of maximum cloudi-
ness may be traced near the equator,
two bands of light cloudincss extending
from 10 to 85 dogs. of latitude north and
south, and two zones of greater cloudi-
meas between 40 and go degs., beyond
which the sky seems to become clearer,
toward the poles. These zones have a
noticeable tendency to follow the sun in
its change of declination, moving north
ward in spring and southwark in fall.
The zones of clear sky correspond with
regions of high pressure. The distribu-
ton Of cloudiness is a direct consequence
of the course of the winds. -Arkansaw

TRAVELLING A THOUSAND MILES
AN HOUR
From the Boston Globe.

~ thO pVolOh blODt'I
Colonel John H. Pierce of Plantsville.
Conn.,, said to a reporter that as yet little
was known outside his room of his plan
for connecting this continent with the
Old World by means of pneumatic tubes.
Some statement of a brief nature has been
made to a local paper. Only within a
day, almost, has it been developed to its
present stage. In response to a request
to give the facts the inventor was full of
enthusiasm, but spoke with care and pre-
cision land with the air of a man who
knew whereof he affirmed.
Eyes. believe my plan is a practical
one. This country can be connected
with Europe by means of pneumatic
tubes of large proportions. When the
theories are reduced to practice they may
be modified to some extent"
''How would they be laid and operat-
ed?"
AFTER the manner of the cables. as |
will hereafter explain. We will be
obliged to have them laid exactly
straight, or as near straight as the sur
face of the globe will permit. They will
be operated by currents of air. but on
principles quite different in some respects
from those governing the small lines now
in use: the general principles remain the
same. OF course the tnbes will always
be in couples. with currents of air driven
through them. the current in one tube
always moving in al opposite direction
from the other"
"Will it not be difficult to force cur
rents of air the distance you contem-
plate?'
"Oh, no. The speed of this current
can be made as great as desired. and with
scarcely any limit, by simply using a
great number of steam fans on the prin-
ciple of those used in blast furnaces.
1.-The tubes must be laIg e enough to
admit of passengers, of course, yet small
as possible. | would have individuals sit
tandem, one ahead of the other, you see.
Friction: That would be prevented by
ball bearings-necessary appliances. The
motion would hardly be perceptible to
the passenger. 1t is hard to speculate
upon the speed attainable. One hundred
miles an hour would be the easiest thing
in the world; 1000 miles an hour is not
impossible with polished steel surface for
tube lining and exterior friction we could
provide for. The speed, owing to the
curvature of the earth's surface, will tend
to overcome all weight and make the
pressure greatest on the upper portion of
the tube, when running at maximum
speed. Think of going to London in such
a way and in such time as that
Colonel Pierce said that it would not
cost a very large sum TO build an expert
mental line for a short distance. say a
few miles. His plan has been submitted
in its details to several experts, and has
met with approval. The great question
with the inventor at the present time is
to get the necessary funds to carry for
ward the work, for he is a man of COM
paratively little capital. He feels conf
dent that in the end he will receive the
recognition and encouragement which
his work deserves.

The comparison between the barber
shop of America and the barber shop Of
Europe is the comparison between a pal
ace and a howell. Luxury in a barber
shop across the water, even in Paris, is
an unknown quantity. The American
barber aims to make his shop as attract
i've, his chairs as luxurious and comfort
able as possible. In decorations and fit
ting up generally many shops in America
are exceedingly artistic. In Europe
things are different. An American Wis
iting Paris or London, on placing HIM
self in the hands of a native barber, will
at once sigh for the land of his birth, and
would even onjoy the gossip of his
American barber.
Ii the provincial towns and cities of
Germany a barber is an institution. He
is a dignitary to some extent. The head
barber never shaves a man. He hires
assistants to do that. He must be a
surgeon and a dentist. He pulls teeth,
cups and leeches, cuts off a leg or
arm if necessary, but he never draws a
razor across a customers face. The head
barber's assistants start out with their
shaving outfits early in the morning and
do the shaving right at the homes of
customerS who make a contract for a
year to be shaved so many times a week
for so much-generally about $40 is the
price. Customers must be at home when
the barber calls or they will not be shaved
until the next trip. There are very few
shops and very poor ones in Germany.
The European on visiting America Is
astounded at the luxury, the artistic ar
rangement and general elegance of the
American barber shop.-George Werner
in Globe Democrat.

WHO MARRIES WHOM.

Is he married to her or is she married
phrases, though few people or news
papers regard 1t, and even the dictionary
ignores it. Thus the New Haven News
says: 1.-THE Yale News in reporting a
wedding states that the groom was mar
ried to the bride. The first lesson that a
college journalist might learn in the
larger field Is that the woman becomes
married to the man. 1t is a
place of most rhetoric teachers that it is
the man who does the marrying and the
woman who is the person married. This
simply follows out the idea of the Gar
den of Eden story that woman was created
to be married to man. The distinction is
recognized in the historic marriage SER
vice of the Episcopal church in the ques-
ton, "Who giveth this woman to be
married to this man?' 1t is recognized
again in the meaning of the word
''marry," which comes from the Latin
word mas, meaning male. Roman customs
of marriage, as well those of all nations
generally, are in accord with this deriva-
ton. To say that a ma is married to a
woman is the same sort of statement as
to say that ''the Hon. so-and-so was
given a banquet" 1t is the banquet
which is the thing given, not the person
in whose honor it is given. 1t is the
woman who is given in marriage, not the
man to whom she is given as a wife,

New York's Enormous Charities.

New York's charities are something
enormous. That a million of dollars are
given to the poor of this city every year
could easily be shown, but that doesn't
touch the question. This matteris some
thing that affects our social structure
from corner stone to cap sheaf. 1t is
employment these people need. Self
support is the first essential in the great
problem Of self respect No mar who
lives ON borrowed money, no man who is
the recipient of continuous charity, can
respect himself. The meanest and cheap
est man who walks the streets has his
moments of sober thought, and it is these
moments of sober thought which will
ultimately breed trouble in this city
