United States Army Scouts,

United States army scouts may be di
vided into two classes: white men, who
rank as chief of scouts. and Indian scouts,
who are organized as military companies.
The white scouts are usually men who
have been employees Of the San Carlos and
Mescalero Apache reservations, or Indian
agencies. They are, from constant associ.
alton with the Indians, well acquainted
with their character and habits, and fire..
quently speak a little Apache The
Apaches, with few exceptions, speak
Spanish, and it is usually the language
they use in communicating with the In.
dian agent and the employees of the
agency. A white man who makes himself
useful to the Indians by doing them little
favors is, in time, taught "to read sign. "
This may be said to complete the education
of chief of scouts.
1t would be beyond the scope of news
paper article to describe how "sign" is
read, nor would anything save practical
idea to the reader. A scout who can read
sign" can tell you by examining a trail
over which horses have passed If they
were ridden or led, and if both, the mum
Der ridden and the number led. Even
WHICH suOu ue CdA CeA WuobASE Guo uoEScS
were American or Mexican. If the trail
be made by men on foot, he can tell if it
be an Indian trail, or simply the trail of
Mexicans wearing moccasins. In hostile
party he can tell by the trail how many
are bucks and how many are squaws and
children, and so on over field of observa-
ton as extensive as interesting. The
scout thus qualified finds no difficulty in
obtaining employment in the southwest,
where Apache outbreaks are of almost
yearly occurrence.-Con A. Mahony In

Profanity Among the English.

Iheard an Englishman- say, not long
ago, that the reason he liked to be asso.
ciated with certain man in business, al
though that man was not very prompt in
paying him his salary, was, that he
always spoke to him as gentleman, and
never swore at him Another man who
offered him better position, he hesitated
to go with because he peppered his con-
versation with oaths. Not that the
Englishman was such tenderfoot, but
he did not like such rough language He
said that it irritated him to have q man
say to him, even though he meant to be
perfectly aniable, Where the h have
you been all this timer" 1t was form Of
greeting which, while intended to be cor.
dial, was unpleasant. ~.
He did not deny that Englishmen swore,
but he said he never heard oaths among
the same class of Englishmen as were
used by Americans of the same set. Of
course you do not expect to hear woman
use profane expressions, but an English
woman will not use any of the violent
words that even an American lady has in
her vocabulary. You may offend an Eng
lish woman to the last point of her en-
durance, but she will only be "vexed, or,
under unusually strong emotion, every
vexed." notice that the young Ameri-
cans whose lives are devoted to initiating
English manners are very soft spoken,
and their great aim seems to be self sup
preston. They consider it bad form to
show anv emotion at all.-New York Sun.

what rhex nnn,t IiEa-

Our compact and interesting letter from
the Mantle summer school for teachers
had in it whole sermon in that one quo.
tation from teacher that there want
but one way of larnin' young ones any
thing and that was to give EN- what they
didn't like" What picture 1t offers Of
the way some people regard children, and
the sort Of people who sometimes secure
positions as teachersl That the senti-
ment as expressed bristles with errors Of
grammar does not, unfortunately, prove
that teacher did not utter 1t verbatim.
But the essence of the whole thing Is In
that notion Of giving 'em what they
don't like" as means or education. It Is
the philosophy of life for some people.
They 60 about, as moral and religious
duty, taking the happiness out of other
peoples lives for their good, choosing the
disagreeable where choice enters, and
turning to the left in crowd because
the others turn to the right. 'They give
em what they don't like" and know it s
the rigst thing because those who get 1t
don't like it." 1t is pitiful way of
looking at things, and it doesn't belong
in the Nineteenth century. but it is still
to be found and when found it cannot be
cured. -Hartford Courant.

The shop windows have put on their
last persuasive touches as the season
wanes. The milliners' windows look like
aviaries in which bonnets and hats are
perched like birds of gay plumage. But
nothing is done to attract the feminine
eye more skillfully than that which allures
the men. The artistic possibilities of
neckties are shown in many ways. One
enterprising dealer has hung his entire
window in deep indigo neckties splotched
with spots and waving lines. The nlu-
sion is Of a very deep sea aspect and very
taking. On another street red and blue
shirts are made effective by displaying
them in lines SO that the bars of color
shall tell for all they are worth.
The art of window dressing we have
learned from the French. Two things
arc necessary, sense of color in masses
and by contrast and an appreciation of
the value Of forms repeated. These
Americans are getting. and 1t marks
progress on the way to becoming an artis-
tic people. "A glove shop and place for
women's gear is q case in point. The
window is laid In black. On small raised
stands are long black silk stockings
folded with hanging ends, and on each of
these are perched long, yellow kid gloves
lxnotted exactly in the same way. Above
these, which suggest, by the way, pre-
Raphaelite flowers In foreground, arc
black knitted silk vests, hanging like
banners between the long yellow gloves,
which have the effect OF streamers. In

Method of Appraisins Manuscript.

This story is told of a certain Boston

{. unique way of appraising literary work:
A gentleman who does much with his pen
in the way of rather lurid kind of story
writing had frequently disposed of manu-
script to the publisher in question. One
day he entered the Office Of the latter with
a story to sell, and handed him the parcel
of manuscript. "Well. how much for
this?" was asked the author, while the
questioner kept posing the manuscript
on his open palm. Fifty dollars, was
the reply Fifty dollarsf'' repeated the
publisher, the rising infection in his voice
denoting surprise; why, it's not nearly
so heavy "a the one gave you forty for

Secrecy and the Rose.

Hippocrates, the god of silence, carries
as his symbol rose given to him by
Cupid. From the idea of secrecy or re-
serve that associates itself with roses
came the old custom recorded by the
Greeks. When the people of the north
they say. wished to preserve the most
profound secrecy in regard to what was
said between themselves at their feasts,
freshly gathered rose was hung from
the ceiling above the upper end of the
blade. It was considered not only dis
honorable but crime to reveal that which
had been said sub osa.-Sophie 3. Her.
