A MAGICIAN IN GOLD.
The HindOo Jeweler at His Mar
velOus Task of Turning Out En-
nntSifa Gaxr-GaxyS

QuiSite Gew-Gaws.
One of my companions having made a
bargain with the smith, handed him
three English tlorins which he desired
to have manufactured into one bangle
of the choicest East Indian design and
workmanship, writes William Agnew
Patton. The coolie man. heated the
coins, cut them into narrow pieces, OF
which lie welded the ends together,
using hammer and anvil, thus making a
bar four or five inches long, and, as |
remember, two or three lines in width
and thickness. Covering one end of
this strip of metal with damp clay to
protect his fingers from the heat, the
bangle-maker stuck the silver into the
diminutive charcoal fire, which he set
aglow by blowing through tube SINH
lar in appearance to 4 glaSS-blOWer, S
pipe:
When the metal was at a dull-red
heat he beat it soundly, forging it
round and smooth to the diameter of
telegraph wire: then, carefully bend
ing it in circle, Joined the two ends,
welding them together neatly and with
dispatch. This done, and the Joint
having been covered with rOr 4 i,tA,S
of hot silver fashioned into "A. t. c
size OF cherry, the HindOo held Uut ;.e
half-fnished trinket for inspection a! i
approval. He next smoothed and pol
iShed the surface of the ball hy ham
mering; then he graved and stamped it
with various dies, cutting simple, con-
ventional patterns of irregular design
Next, having selected small silver
serpent from an assortment of ready
made devices and charms which he kept
in a cocoanut shell, he plunged it into
the fire and blew through his blow pipe
until the cobra became blood-red.
Pinching the reptiles tail between bits
of moist clay the HindOo drew it from
the fire, and, before it lost its angry hue,
deftly cOrk-screwed the emblem of i'm
mortality around the wire Of the bangle
in four complete coils. all the time tap
ping the snake here and there gently
with his mallet, in this way fastening it
securely in its place.
Plunging the ornament into a Gala
bash of cOcOanut oil he waited till the
serpent ceased kissing, and the Indian
bracelet was then ready to be claSped
on the wrist of whoms0ever the gallant
gentleman had in his mind when he
found it in his heart to give the order
for it.

LOVE LETTERS OF FAMOUS
MEN,
How DIR. Johnson, Goethe, Keats
and BaIzac Wrote to Women
They AGmired

HOW Dr. Johnson, Goethe, Keats
and BaIzac Wrote to Women
They Admired.
DR.. Johnson was not letter writer in
the true sense of the word, says the
London Queen. His balanced style
lacked tleXibility; his strong nature
abandon; but his epistles breathe the
sincerity of his piety, the loftiness of
his spirit, the dependence of his heart
upon human affection. He could write
with pictureSqe, somewhat ponder
Gus viyacity, as may be seen by
the group of letters addressed to
Mrs. Thrale during his journey through
the Hebrides. which the lady thought
were more delightful than his books.
How pathetic and solemn is the glimpse
we have OF the sick man in the follow
ing, written to his friend, Mrs. Booth
by: lit is again midnight, and l am
again alone. With what meditations
shall l amuSe this waste hour of dark
ness and vacuity? If l turn my thoughts
upon myself, what do 1 perceive but
poor, helpless body reduced by blast
Of wind to weakness and miSery?" How
touching is this request to MISS Porter:
81 shall take it very kindly if you make
it rule to write to me once at least
every week, for 1 am now very desolate,
and am 10th to be universally forgot
ten"
Mr.. Lewes has thrown discredit upon
the correspondence of Bettina; he treats
it as romance of Bettina's brain, add
ing that: ''HOw much is true, how
much expggeration, and how much pure
eXaggeratiOn, l am in no position to eX-
plain" The book, when it appeared
two years after the poets death, threw
Germany into a ferment. 1t was the
story of the passionate feeling with
which Goethe, at sixty years of age, had
inspired a young girl of twenty. and of
the half-tOlerant, half-encouraging re-
spDnse he had made to it. The poet
seemed god to Bettina. This orphan
girl, half Germrn, half Italian. senti-
poet with all the strength of her
soul before she saw him, and when
she knew him she wOrShiped him like
vOtary in an abandonment of devO-
ton. II lie on the ground on the spot
where thy feet rested; l am we'll there
and nowhere else," she writes. Goethe
answered letters full of such outbursts
in manner that showed his vanity was
fattered, his imagination stimulated, his
intellectual curiosity (Which was ever
on the alert for manifestations of char
acter) aroused. 'Ihy letters" he
writes, ''are like braid of thousand
colors which 1 unbind in order to class
ify its beautiful wealth." He bids her
60 on confiding her feelings to
him so that he may translate
them, put them into rhyme, and
use them. Another time he writes;
''Thy letters are read and re-read with
a great deal Of pleasure; what my pen
could answer fails to convey the imme-
diate impression they produce, and to
which one allows oneself so willingly to
yield, feeling Notwithstanding that these
are all Illusions, for who could reason
ably believe in so much lover 1t is best
to accept it all as a Dream" Another

THE INDIAN NEW. YEAR.
How the Onondagas Celebrate the
Festive Occasion


There is strong smell of burnt white
dog around the council house of the
Onondaga Indians at this place, seven
miles from Syracuse. The red gentle
man can select his own day for making
New Years calls, and can also
celebrate the occasion by cooking a
white dog, says an Onondaga special.
The pagan OnOndaga Indian starts his
New year about the same time during
the third quarter of the moon nearest
the 1st of February, and sits up nights
to find out when that is. He has an
IDEA that there Is an influential God
called AgreSkOi who had best be pro-
pltlated at this time by contributions Of
toDacco, and particularly of the dea TIN
of white dog. The acouncil house"
LOOKS like neglected One-stOry. cross
roads school house, but the legend goes
Liiat the council fire has never gone out
from SO FAR way back that you can't
count it.
A waterbury alarm clock alarmed
the picked boys of the tribe at Z a. IN.
yesterday. Somebody else went i'm the
Council house and swept up last years
ashes, started new fire and brought
out the old ashes to be blown to the
four winds Of heaven. While this was
going on the chief had hurried through
his breakfast and the squaws were doing
up the dishes. The chief hurried their
breakfasts in order to go and hang
white dog in the kitchen of red gen
tleman who stands high in the Six ma
tl0nS: 1t was secret ceremony, and
the shades were pulled down. The gem
tlemen officiating wore their Sunday
feathers and paint. The gentleman
brought the dog into the council nall
and put him on bench. and made mo-
tiOnS and noises necessary for a first
class incantation. Finally, all heard an
eloquent Oration over the deceased by
Chef Webster. Then the dog and
some navy plug tobacco and some herbs
raised on the reservation were all thrust
into the stove together, that by this
time was red hot. Every pagan Indian
on the reservation is taking three
days vacation. Besides the white dog
cremation, the New Years ceremonies
consist in eating all that there is around
and holding big dances.

The Chair Suited at Last.

Nasnfllle American.
A furniture dealer tells a little story
that shows how some people are consti-
tuted. A lady ordered an elegant easv
chair of a peculiar kind. 1t was made
and sent to her house. She examined
it carefully and critically, finally re-
marking that it suited her exactly. with
one exception, it was too soft. She had
the man take the chair back to be made
trifie harder. The chair was returned
to the store and was put aside.
Nothing was done to it. After
the lapse of about a week the
chair was sent out again. The woman
again examined it, and this time the
chair was too hard. She was sorry. but
when she paid so much to get an article
for her own comfort she wanted il
about right. so she sent it back to the
store for another change. The chair
was again put aside for week or ten
days, and sent out the third time With
out having particle of change made.
This time it was just right. She took
the chair, paid for it and was sorry il
had not suited her at first. The poor
woman never knew the chair had not
been changed particle.

Her Ticket in Her Stocking.

A very pretty little country maiden
was just in the act of boarding train
at the union station this morning, says
the PittSburg Press, when a PennsyI-
vania railroad brakeman stretched forth
his strong right arm, and said: "Please
let me see your ticket" The lady turned
red in the face, and, with an innocent
smile answered: Il don't like to-but-
butt have ticket, SIR" swell, well;
you must let me see your ticket, and
don't keep other passengers waiting,"
remarked the brakeman, little impa-
tiently. The young lady placed her foot
on the step of the car and drew out from
one of her black hose a coupon ticket
almost yard long. ''There it is, sir"
said she with faltering voice. The
brakeman gave the ticket hasty
glance, assisted the young woman to
the Cal platform. raised his hat i'm q
polite bow, and was left to blush alone,
while the other railroad boys laughed
at his expense. II was a brute,n he
said.
