SERGEANT RoWDY
Talks About .Scouting-Kis Opinion
 oR the Messiah.

Sergeant Rowdy, the Indian scout, is a rather talkative Indian, as Indians go and this morning in a chat with him our reporter found some interesting in- formation.
 Rowdy is of the Yuma nation, twenty seven years old, and has been a scout since he was eleven years of age. He says that he likes to follow tracks, and can distinctly tell how many men or ami mals he is following, and to within an hour of the time the tracks were made. Ills explanation of how he detects a track are not very comprehensive. On the mesa sand show it, on grass it broken little bit, and spread out each way"
 ROwdy makes his headquarters at San Car.os, and says he does not like the a pache Indians much. He says they are rOj vcry good fighters. When questioned about the Messiah of the Sioux he show ed little enlightenment on the subject. He said be liked to do scouting and hoped he would be sent up north to do 1t, but i'd not think ne would. The Yumas he sud, nave no Messiah, and do not ex- gect any.
 Rowdy wears two medals, of which he ,s very proud, awarded him for service rendered last May in tbe trailing of five Apaches from San Carlos who killed !'reiChter Herbert moi Ear from the res ervation. He says the trail was day old when lie took 1t. and he and another scout with detachment of Cavalry un- der 1t. Watson, followed the trail for five days, and 2 distance of 2J1 miles, finally overtaking them in the upper Salt River Valley, hear Globe. Here the! shot three or the Apaches, who op- ened riEe first, killing two outright and woundng another. The other two were captured and brought to trial. One has slDce been hung, the other is in prison for fifteen years.
 Rowdy's rather eupboneous cog nomen was given him many years ago by J. T Mcdonald, the mining man who is at present in the city, from his habits, and tEe title is highly appropriate and pleasing to its owner.

A Lie Nailed.

These people with imaginative pens who write up the various profitable em- ploymenIs in which woman may en- gage these days should take the pains to make some slight verifcation of their statements. A beautiful little paragraph is going the rounds of the papers these days about the desirability of the work of printing photographs from negatives as an employment for women. And then there follows story about young woman who put S2. GOO in the bank last year, representing the clear profits of one years work in printing photo graphs"
 Now $2,0O0 is a large sum for any young wOman-even the exceptionally clever one who is always figuring in newspaper paragraphs-to put in the bank in one year. And as one gets rather tired of hearing about her I con cluded to investigate the probabilities in this case. Several photographers were consulted, and they all with one voice declared the truth of the statement to be wholly impossible. Said one: 'sIt is barely possible that if this young woman was remarkably quick. and spent the season in a summer watering place where there were plenty of amateur pho tographers, with no competition and no expenses of any kind, she might possibly make large part of such 8 sum, but as for netting that sum in a year-non- sense," he said; lit couldn't be done, even by an expert.

The Female Form Divine.

Miss Margaret Best, of Meadville, Pa. to whom was awarded the Sargent prize for physical symmetry, was not a com petitor in the sense of working for the honor. She thinks her natural form was aided and developed by a careful course of physical culture. When at La Sale she gave no promise of becoming famous In this way, as her form was quite slight, but continuous practice intelh- gently directed no doubt was respon- sible for the result.
 Her age is 25 years. She is the young- est child of Dr. David Best, who for forty years was one of the leading phy- sicians of Meadville Miss Best grad uated from the Meadville academy in 1884, after which she continued her studies at La Sale college, where she began the study of elocution and phys ical culture, in both of which branches she evinced great ability and advanced rapidly. Since, she has had charge of these branches at Allegheny college.- New York Telegram.

The Prince of Wales, Health.

It is question whether the Prince of Wales ever succeeds t. the throne His health is not robust; there are ugly ru- mors to the effect that Bright's disease has hold upon him. But the prince cares little about being king. He does not court the anSieties and the onerous duties which his rise to t,.at exalted sta tion would necessarily involve; he is not an ambitious man: he loves and seeks the Ciety of those whom he likes, and. true democrat that he is, he shudders when he thinks that there may come a time wi.en he will be compelled to asso- ciate with men who cannot possibly have a human sympathy in common with himself
 His eldest son. the Duke of Clarence and AvOndale, is a hulking, shiftless good ua.urei lubber, looking Ike his mother. but having neither his mothers tact or dignity nor his fathers gracious ness or strength of character It seems to be 6 foregone conclusion that in the due course of time t'le duke will marry his cousin, the sweet and pretty daughter of the Prin 'sss of Teck.-Eugene Field in Chicago Jews

Why 1t rG Twelfth DAN.

Tradition says that the twelfth day from Christmas day was remarkable for having been that upon which the visit of the Magi took place, upon which Christ was baptized, the water at Cana turned into wine and the five thousand fed For 800 years it was kept by east ern Christians as the day upon which Christ was born, and among ourselves it as long observed with great festivities We are told that in the reign of King Alfred a law was passed "by virtue of which the twelve days after the nativity of our Saviour were made festivals"
 The last day was accounted the great est of the twelve. and especially given up to Christmas gambols" and the wis iting of friends. The custom seems long to have continued in force, for in the Sixteenth century Twelfth day seems to have been kept with as much zeal as Christmas. The royal family at court led the way, the universities and the inns of court following them in the extent of their festivities. At the temple the whole twelve days were kept with great care. and many of the country gentle men followed the same custom In some parts of England the very poorest peo- pie contrived to keep the twelve days with such good cheer for themselves and their neighbors as their means would allow.-Exchange.

The windows were open, and the boy had been holding on to bis hat with one hand for fear it would blow away The conductor coming in slammed the door, and for an instant the boy let go his hat His father reached round through the window and whisked it of his head The boy was disconsolate. Look straight ahead and whistle for it and it will come back" |" said his father
 ''I can't whistle. I'm too mad"
 Well, then. I'll try" and the dignified lawyer whistled few bars of Annie Rooney" and shortly afterward placed the hat on the boys head, whose tears were now turned to smiles. Then he stood up in the seat, and snatching his fathers new $3 tile from his head de- Eberately threw it out of the car window, saying, Whistle for it again, papa. "- Northampton (Mass) Journal.

Ne Eeu Gains for te Prssaat

Superintendent Bosbyshen, of the mint, received from Washington 2, com munication from D. O. Leech, director of the mint, conveying the disappointing intelligence that the department at Washington would not take any action until next summer in regard to provid- ing new designs for coins, under the bill recently passed by congress. Director Leech explains that he is so busily en- gagged in the preparation of the report of his department and the secretary of the treasury's time will be so much occupied for some months that the matter of changing the models and designs of coins cannot be taken up until late in the spring.
 Since the bill became a law Superin- tendent Bosbyshell has been in receipt daily of letters from persons anxious to enter into the competition, showing a widespread interest in the subject. As it was hoped to change the five cent nickel piece and get rid of the buzzard dollar as quickly as practicable. the de lay will be received with universal re- gret.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

ABOUT CUk'kER.
Its Present Disposition--Splendid
 Outlook for the Metal.

Arthur Lazarus, representing the firm of Lewis Lazarus Sons, metal
 merchants, Of 27 Great St. Helens, Lon
 dan, is in the city, stopping at the Pal 1 ace.
 1 Mir. Lazarus is in America to learn of 1 copper productions and outlook, and 1 has been visiting the Lake Superior and Montana copper mining regions, having just arrived from the latter.
 "What do you consider the outlook for the metal to be-" We asked. ''Never better" he replied. Copper Is up, away up, and still on the rise. When l left England it was e59 ton, and on landing at New York 1 found 1t worth e64to e65 the ton. How do account for the rise in prices? In several ways: All stocks are continually reducing, the re- duction during the last fortnight ln October being enormous; much more IS being consumed than was q year ago; deliveries have been been very heavy of late. Yes; I think the Barring Bros. failure has effected the money market and that but for it copper would be still higher"
 "How is copper being mostly con sumed at present? Principally in three way, First. wire and electric ap- paratus. Second, Furnace bot oms; this being a very large and very important part of our trade; Third, The msnu- facture of saIphate Of copper, for the de struction of phylloxena, an insect ravag ing the grape vines of Europe, especially spain. This Is a new source of diSpoSl tion for copper, and already a leading one. The sulphate of copper 10 ;, most most effective remedy, destroying the pest entirely, and at the same time harming the fruit and vine in no partic- ular, it being perfectly safe to partake of the fruit on which the liquid has been applied. Tho sulphate of copper consists of D per cent copper and the metal cannot be brought back, once 1t becomes an ingredient of the chemical.
 70 DO; England receives but very little of the American copper production. It is nearly all used in this country, and mostly for electrical supplies.
 "No, America, that Is North America, produces but small percentage of the copper output of the world. The sources of supply are in this order: "First, South America, Second, Cape of Good Hope; Third, Japan, North Am rica, Australia and Spain"
 Mir. Lazarus leaves today fer | ''on to examine the various copper -- ties there, more especially the AI--y-a Copper Co.'S mines and apparatus. Al forwards he will visit Bisbee and Dossi- ply Red Rock. He is not ptT- chasing copper, but will probably t tablish agencies for his firms while hero. |

There is curious effect wrought on the hair and beard of men engaged in the Martin White mine at Ward. The ore is roasted, but no disagreeable per fumes arise from the heating process yet there is some unknown substance that changes the hair. beard and eye brows as green as grass. The hair is not injured. but retains its softness and gloss. It is probable that the fumes of the green tint of copper contained in the ore change the hair to that color.-Vir- ginia City Chronicle.
