comedy and dusky maiden. The dis
carded wife bore her sorrow in silence
and murmured not, but she watched
her opportunity for revenge just the
same. 1t came one night when the
brave warriors and the more or
less beautiful women of the tribe
were all gathered together
to indulge in the festive
Omaha and the ever accompanying
feast of the dog. The unfaithful hus-
band was there-the bravest OF the
brave and the gayest OF the guys. he
wore fewer clothes and more paint
than any of the rest, and also kicked
higher and howled more ex~uberantly.

Torrance OF the dancers crouched a
lonely dusky figure. The reader has
already guessed, doubtless, that this
was she. 1t was cur heroine. She
had in one hand a soup ladle and in
the other-a knife. The soup ladle
doesn't cut much of a figure in this
story, but she had it in her hand
nevertheless. As for the knife
it was intended to cut consider

large aperture in the bosom of her
faithless husband. The green-eyed
monster had gained full control OF
this wronged Indian woman and she
was laying for her whilom liege lord.
She was also lying on the grass. She
had marked the spot by which he must
pass on his way to partake of refresh
ments, and she kept one eye on her
late husband and the other on the
spot. And she had not long to wait.
For, while Bad Devil was great on
the dance, yet he was not impartial
to deg soup, and very oon after the
first change was over he seated his
partner and meandered proudly
toward the pot of steaming remains
of canine. But his naughty step was
destined soon to falter and his gaudy
paint to be badly splattered with his
own blood. He never reached the
goal to which he had so gladly turned
his hungry footsteps, for when he APP

its appreciation Of Egyptology2 BY
wearing Egyptian costumes at after
noon teasI These costumes, says The
Advertiser, which in many cases are
said to be very fetching, are
modelled after the manner of the
times Of. the Pharaohs. One of them,
worn by a beautiful brunette, is de-

A Lazy Girls Trick.
an. c., aged seventeen, aplump,
healthy looking country girl, in ser
vice in a minister's family, was
brought to me by her mistress about
the end of March last complaining of
severe pricking pains on the dorsal
surface of the left hand. Her mis-
tress informed me that the girl was
not at all fond OF work, and that she
had a deal of trouble to get her to do
it; that since the hand had been bad
she would do nothing but sit down
and cry. On examination of n hand
| found it puffy and infiamed, and on
asking if she felt the pricking seEsa-
ton at any particular point, was re-
ferred to a spot in the centre OF the
hand.
On touching this with my finger
distinctly felt something sharp and
] pointed. / used a pair of dressing
forceps and extracted a full-sized sew
ing needle, which had been pushed

could give no account of how it got
there. Three evenings afterward SHE
was again brought in, and from the
same place.and in the same manner
extracted another needle. About a
week after she came again, and this
time / withdrew a pin (Which had
been pushed in until the head was
covered) from the same place.
A few days after she came again,

rid of her at once, which was done,
and the girl returned to the country.
1t seems hardly credible that a girl Of
her age could be SO cunning, and
would inflict so much pain upon her.
