old. At Cape Breton the children are
tied up much after this manner, and
then hammocks are used, partaking
considerably of Southern methods.
West of the Rocky Mountains trough
shaped frames of cedar wood are gener-
ally used. Angles and bends near the
child's knees are effected by boiling
and bending the wood into shape. The
characteristics of these cradles are the
headboards, like little gravestone,
and painted in red al i black with the
symbol of the owner. Streaks of red
paint skirt the margin, and the bed
consists of mass ai finely shredded
cedar bark.

manship and are suspended by strings
to plant poles and are swung by the
mother with her hand or great toe. The
Chinook cradle from the Columbia
River is of this class. The mother car.
ries the cradle in an upright position
on her back. often hanging it to some
branch during halt. Ii the infant

stretched covering of buckskin, and
the young Ute is also provided with q
sometimes elaborately decorated avn
ing.
The elements of the Moki cradle
frame are the floor and the awning.
AS foundation stout stick is bent in
the shape of the ox-yoke bow. Rods
of the size of lead pencil are attached
to the curve of this bow and stretched
parallel to the limbs. Twigs are close
ly woven on this warp by regular
basketry weaving. An awning is also
provided.
The Comanche cradle is the most
primitive cradle in the National Mu-
scum. 1t is strip of black bearskin
thirty inches long and twenty wide,
doubled together in the form of era
die frame. Along the side edges loops
of buckskin are made to receive the
lacing.
The Sioux Indians are very particu-
lar in their baby habitations. 1t is q
frame of two diverging Stats, painted
yellow, held in place at the head and
foot by cross Stats. The tops of the
side pieces project above the cradle,
each at least eighteen inches, and are
studded with brass-headed nails in
straight lines. The case is shoe
shaped, and all over the outside is Or
namented with beadwork. If the in
FAINT dies during the time allotted to it
for remaining in the cradle, it is buried,
and the mother fills the empty shell
with black quilts and feathers, and car
ries it around with her for months.
East of the Mississippi River, north
of the Tennessee, and south of the
Hudson Bay, the Indians used sim
pie fiat cradle board.
Farther south the Indians were ac-
customed to use one of the forms al
ready described, with various adiuncts
for fiattening the head. Some nations
in Louisiana used clay, which was
wrapped around the infants head and
binds ana congresses until the proper
shape is reached.

For several years before his death
frequent draughts of sherry became a
necessity with Jem Browne. Owing to
poverty, however, he was i'll able to
provide it. Attracted by the announce
ment Funerals supplied" Browne one
day, when fatigued in his rambles,
waited upon an undertaken, his face
buried in handkerchief his voice in
audible from emotion. The man ran
for decanter of wine; Browne drank
and was relieved. He asked several
questions about scarfs and hat bands,
cofins, hearses, mutes and coaches.
The undertaken assured him that he
would provide all. Browne at last
stood up to leave.
"But you have not told me where I
am to find the remains, remarked the
undertaken.
"You said you would find everything
find the body" exclaimed Browne,
as he left the house and rapidly turned
the corner.

for the young Indian, many dangling
objects being hung upon it to amuse
the youth or maid not yet graduated
to shooting blunt arrows or talking
scandal.
The study of cradles also answers
another purpose in marking the eli
mate of different countries. The Es-
quimau mother carries her child in a
hood on her back, as the method prac-
ticed by the southern women of strap
ping the youngster to a board frame
would, in that severe climate, insure a
very sad Christmas for the youthful
Esquimau.
Why any human being shonld live in
dor is yet to be satisfactorily explained,
but the baby Esquimau is hardly re-
sponsible for this vagary during his
first year or SO of existence, and we
can examine into the means provided
for his comfort with some degree of
patience. The mother in this paradise
for icemen has the hood of her skin
robe made very large, SO as to carry
therein the babe, which nestles around
the mothers neck secure from the cold.
Some writers have also spoken of Es-
quimau mothers carrying their children
in their wide boots
These, for northern people, are not
very migratory. In their benighted
way they know good thing when they
see it, and are well content to stick
pretty close to their homes. The
hood, therefore, answers their purpose,
besides being warmer than any carrying
frame.
Coming further south we find the
natives on the Upper Yukon using a
very ingenious trough-shaped cradle
of birch bark, made from three pieces,
forming the bottom, the top and hood,
and the awning. Rows of beads orna-
ment the awning, which, in country
the main inhabitants of which are
mosquitoes, is found very useful por-
tion of the outfit. Playthings of vari-
GUS kinds are also hung to this awning,
and the infant is at liberty to enjoy
himself as much as he sees fit.
On the eastern coast of Labrador
the infant, Immediately after birth, is
laid naked on layer of moss in bag
made of leather and lined with hare
skins. This bag is securely laced,
leaving the child freedom to move the
head only. The youngster closely re-
sembles an Egyptian mummy and is
kept in this state until about one year

Extinguished by Bees.

Two or three years ago, as Queen
Victoria was journeying from Balmoral
to Windsor, the royal train was stopped
by something, the like of which had
never before happened in any railroad
mans experience.
The signalman at certain junction
had lighted his lamps, and everything
apparently was safe for the passage of
the royal train. AS the train APP
preached, however, the engineer
noticed that one of the signal lights
had been extinguished, and instantly
brought the engine and cars to stand
still.
On inspecting the lamp it was found
to contain swarm of bees, so numer-
GUS that they had put out the light, by
which they had evidently been at
tracted

tears from Bowery tough, he talked
to them of their misdeeds, when he
was interrupted by each youthful
scion declaring enthusiastically that
the other fellow struck the first blow.
Here was another iniquity, whose
enormity overshadswed the first, for
one boy must be telling an untruth,
and another dissertation on lying fol-
lowed that would have melted the obe-
lisk, despite its parafline coating.
Then, thinking he had deeply i'm
pressed them and wrought sufficiently
upon their innocent, sensitive natures,
he appealed to them to tell him what
to do about it, whereupon the younger,
aged 7, said cheerfully: "Ill tell you
what to do, papa. You just take a
10-cent piece and shake it up in your
hand this way, throw it down on the
table, and if it comes heads told the
lie. If it's tails the other fellow told
it, and, if you ain't satisfied with that,
why, you can just call that 1 told it

other boy nonchalantly remarked, "I
told you it was him all the time" as

termination.
