A YALE MANS INDIAN FAMILY.

Romantic Career of n Graduate Who
Joined the Yakima Tribe.
Yakima (Wash.) Cor. Globe Democrat
There is upon the Yakima Reservation
family of half-breeds known as the Olneys.
A romance is associated with the name. The
white father OF the Olneys died recently, but
to the last he Stunned his own race. In
some respects he was like Sam Houston, but
unlike Sam Houston he never repented of
his self-banishment among the Indians. He
was of highly respectable Rhode Island
family, and graduate of Yale College.
About the time he completed his studies the
discovery of gold in California occurred.
Olney Joined the Argonauts of '49, and came
West to seek his fortune. He left behind him
a sweetheart to whom he was to be married
as soon as he found the fortune and re-
turned. The girl grew weary of waiting, as
many another of her sex has done. About
year after he reached the coast, Olney re-
ceived letter announcing the marriage of
his betrOthed. He never got over the blow.
Drifting about for time, he located in Ore
gon, and was made sheriff of Wasco county,
In those days there was usually excitement
enough in the duties of sheriff to Danish the
memory of the past.
But after while Olney got tired of hunt
ing down criminals. He gave up his Office
crossed the Columbia river and became a
member of the Yakima tribe. His adoption
was in good faith on his part, for he took an
Indian wife and raised family. As his
children grew up he educated them with
care, and when he died he left them we'll
provided for. The Olneys are influential in
the tribe, and they exercise that influence
for good. But they have no thought of
leaving the reservation. They seem to have
inherited from their father his disinclina-
ton for white society.

pECULIARITIES OF LONDON.
The Immensity of a City Tint is Mad
Up of Cities.

The Immensity of a City That IL. Made
Up of Cities.
Providence Journal.f
The main peculiarities of London that
strike an American who goes there for the
first time are the smallness of the buildings
of all Sorts the extraordinary number of
shops, the exaggerated effect of extreme age
lent to all buildings and statues by the soft
coal smoke, the great number Of policemen
on duty and soldiers on leave seen in all
parts of the town, the extraordinary speed
the cabs and handsoms make, and the guam
tity of drink that all classes indulge in.
Next the visitor begins to realize the i'm
mensity of the city. 1t has no Washington
street, or Broadway, it has at least a score
of such streets. 1t has no one shopping
quarter or dwelling quarter, it has SO OF
each.
1t is city made up of cities Other cities
are combination of streets and houses, but
London is an aggregation of cities, towns
and villages. 1t makes no bid for favor,
and no assertion Of its greatness or wealth.
1t has no tall building, and no sensational
architecture OF any sort. 1t has few great
streets, and those that it has are minced up
into lots of short streets with muddlesome
changes of names. Yet its size impresses
one after very few journeys into its laby-
rinth of ways. Think of it! 1t is 80 miles
across it, either lengthwise or crosswise. 1t
is as big as nearly all of our cities put to-
gether.
New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Chicago, Boston, st. Louis, CINCINNATI, ali
combined have not as many inhabitants as
London. That is difficult to realize, but
you begin to do so when you find that, no
matter where you ride or walk, you cannot
get away from those things which are the
surest signs of great city; crowds OF peo-
pie, myraids of vehicles, endless lines of
shops and all sorts Of resorts for people in
great numbers, such as music halls,
churches hotels, theaters, baths and schools,
continuing to present themselves, mile
after mile away from wherever you start
from.

DIVINATION By CRYSTALS.
Revival of a Peculiar Art Practiced BY
Ancient Necromancers.

Revival of Peculiar Art Practiced By
Ancient Necromancers.
Youths Companion.l
The notice of a scientific man has recently
been directed to revival of the old expert
ments IN 'crystal vision, known as divina-
tion to tine Assyrians, Persians, japanese
and Hebrews in the earliest times. The
necromancers among these people in the early
ages of the world declared that they were
able, on looking into crystal or beryl, or
into a cup filled with black, opaque liquid,
to see scenes and figures which toretold the
future. 1t was the cup with which Joseph
"Givined," our readers will remember, that
was placed in the mouth of his brother Ben
jamin's sack.
Down through the whole course of En-
glish and French history we find occasional
mention of crystal divination as practiced
by charlatans. 1t is revived now, and with
the light of science turned upon it will prob
ably prove to be a very simple matter. The
experimenters in England and this country
procure a globe of crystal, or black, shining
surface, and holding it close to their eyes
look fxedly at one point until sense of
dizziness and taintness is produced. Then
they assert that pictures are seen in the
magic m1rror-fgures, landscapes or words.
These visions" they state, can invariably
be referred to some idea which had passed
through their brains and had been retained
by the memory.
While the explanation of the phenomena
is not yet fully given by physicians, it Is
probable that they are produced by the
strain upon the optic nerve, which affects
the brain. The nausea and iaintness which
we are told came upon the ancient diviner
to punish him for his too near approach to
the immortal gods were, it is likely, caused
by the reaction OF the overstrained nerves
upon the stomach.

SNAKES COMMIT SUICIDE.
Parent Serpents Take Their Own Lives
After Their Young Are Killed.

After Their Young Are Killed.
Deseret (Utah) News.I
A few days ago it was mentioned in these
columns that family of Crotalus horridus,
or American rattlesnakes, had been received
from the park by John A. Hillstead, the
family consisting of the father, mother and
three young. The sequel is an illustration
of the fact that sympathy and the ties of
blood exist even in the reptiles. Yesterday
Mr.. HiIlstead, in response to the desire of a
friend, had two of the little snakes removed
from the cage and put in alcohol, with the
intention of forwarding them.
They had scarcely been spirited away
when the parent and mother snake, also the
brother or sister remaining, bit themselves
and literally committed suicide, dying in
great agony within Is minutes from the
time the two little ones were taken away.
Fact is stranger than fiction, and this is all a
fact. Mr.. Hillstead has the dead reptiles on
exhibition, Those who suicided having their
self-inficted wounds painfully apparent. 1t
would be touching but tor the fact that they
were snakes.

A DISCIPLINARIAN OF CHILDREN,
An English Lady Who Acts as n Busaboo
for Fee.

for a Fee.
New York Sum-
Absolutely the latest importation from
England established herself yesterday Oh
upper Broadway. She is tall and rather
hard-featured woman from Manchester, who
displays the extraordinary sign on the doc,
of her fiat:
"Disciplinarian of children"
Her sister established the particular "pro.
fession," which she follows, in London
nearly two years ago, and it is now trans.
planted to New York The mothers and
fathers CT families will probably be able to
Judge whether the idea is worth encouras-
ing or not.
"My sister," said the Manchester woman,
who has established herself here, realizing
that the majority OF mothers love their
children too much to punish them severely,
conceived the idea of setting herself up as
public discipl1narian> She is a woman of
great force of character and unerring judg-
ment In all matters concerning children,
and she had extensive experience as visit
ing nurse before adopting her present bust
ness. 1t is her idea that children are more
severely punished when they are frightened
than through any physical means. To slap
child IN the heat OF passion while the
child is excited and unruly does not have
half as salutary an effect as the more
mature and considered punishment, such as
imprisonment in dark wardrobe or sending
the little one to bed without supper. Better
than this is to threaten the child with visit
from the bugaboo. The dread of the arrival
of this awful parsonage will act as an in
centive to good conduct with the most
fro obi Idrap in tho world NJ, oic cfa
is bugaboo, and that is about what am.
The fee in England for visiting house and
disciplining the children is 2 shillings.
This involves medical advice drawn from
the fund of considerable experience in the
world, besides whatever suggestions the
condition of things may naturally lead up
to. Besides this part of my business,
hope to teach, doctor and nurse the little
ones. OF course, there are points of antag-
onism between these different functions, but
the effect is good upon the children"
