A Mountain Tribe.

A strange and interesting class of people
live in the mountain regions of eastern
Galicia and Bukowina, and in the border
mountains of Hungary. They are called
Huzuls, and are mixture of two tribes
which were driven out of Slavonia and
Mongolia 600 years ago
They are at present about SO, 900 in num-
Der, and live in small settlements, seldom
more than six or seven families in settle
ment. These settlements are called 'sta-
rosties," the ''starost," or governor, being
always the oldest son of the founder of the
settlement and his direct descendants.
This governor has unlimited control of
the people, but he possesses no more lands
or flocks than any other man in the sta
rosty, as the fields and sheep which form
tie wealth and are the pride of the HUI
zul 5 are the common property of the set
Element.
Although they have regular homes, they
make very little use Of them as abiding
places. As soon as the first signs of spring.
which they call the green time" appear
they are of, and for seven months wander
through the mountains as hunters or herds
men, and only the "black time of winter
brings them back to the settlement. AS
to their religious belief, they are heather,
and are filled with all sorts of strange su,
perstitions.-Youth's Companion.

When an Esquimau baby is born bag

in it a record of it's age is kept forever

of sacrilege either to take out or put in

are hungry and sleep when they are sleepy.

How to Roll an Umbrella,

Certainly, but you don't need any,"
said salesman in Chapel street store
recently to customer who had Just
bought an umbrella, and who had asked
for rubber. ring.
But | want to keep the ends of the ribs
from spreading when the umbrella is rolled
up" and the customer held up for inspec-
ton the umbrella he had just rolled.
Let me show you," said the salesman,
as he unfastened the band and shook out
tie folds. Grasping the stick SO that his
right hand held the ends of the ribs close
to the wood, he began rolling the silk in
the curve of his left hand Whenever he
gave the umbrella turn he kept the ribs
in their original position, and when the
rolling was complete he held up the UNI
brella and showed that the metal tips press
ed as closely to the stick as if riveted in
place.-New Haven Palladium.

Easy. Ridiculously So. to Swim.

''The art of swimming is not difficult Of
attainment, rather ridiculously easy,n said
Professor Donaldson. "All that's wanted
is confidence. When the beginner secures
this all difficulty ceases. A familiarity
with the buoyant power of water should
be gained. A good way to acquire this is
for the beginner to advance breast high
into the water and allow an egg to drop
to the bottom. The object is to dive dowi
with eyes open and bring up the egg.
He will soon find by depressing his feet
he can rise to the top. The thing that will
strike these beginners is the difficulty of
forcing themselves through the water to
reach the egg. This is where the benefit,
of the experiment comes in, for the learner
becomes aware of the CREST sustaining or
supporting power of water, and thus con-
fdence is gained. New York Sun.

Careful Road Making.

1t is nothing unusual for man to paw
his tax by work on the roads, but the way
Mr.. Edwin Mcintyre, of Warren, works
out his tax is little out of the common
course. Mr.. Mcintyre goes over the piece
OF road he cares for at regular intervals
and picks up every rock. He collects them
IN wheelbarrow, takes them home, pull
verizes them On a stone anvil and dumps
them back into the road again. This prac-
Sicc he has kept up fer thirteen years. Dur
ing that time he has ground and put into
the road fifteen cords of rocks. Mr.. Nc
Intyre not only measures them, but the
last two years he has counted them.
He found by actual count that in 1889 he
used in this way just e., e04 cobblestones
1t is needless to remark that this is one
OF the best pieces Of road in the town

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
Gems of Territory Thought by Way OF
The Detroit Free Press.

Gems of Territory Thought by Way Of
The Detroit Free Press.
We extract the following from the
last issue of The Arizona Kicker:
They Cor LEFT.-Feeling tie need of
few days rest from brain work we
HE'D ourselves to Jim's peak last week,
to remain about ten days. Soon after
supper a stranger approached us and
gave us a hint that the boys were plan
ming % serenade, and that we had better
have speech ready.
In this western country some words
have double meaning. A 'sserenade"
may mean sweet, soft music by the
band, with a call from lot Of jolly good
fellows, or it may mean visit from the
gang who are provided with rope, but
no music. In order to be on the safe
side we took up a temporary home in
thicket, and from thence discovered that
this was to be a rope serenade. Some Of
the boys from Johnson's ranch had de-
termined to lynch us as a great moral
warning, but while they were hunting
for us around the hotel we were mean
dering through the jack pines and mid
night darkness to safer quarters.
In one sense we don't blame the boys
SO much. An occasional hanging adds
zest and gusto to this western life, and
it is very rare that the victims friends
can claim that any mistake was made
In another sense the boys are to be
blamed for their lack of taste. We have
it on good authority that they meant to
hang us with an old mule chain. There
were thirty of them in the crowd. We
make no boasts, but let our readers
watch for developments. Well have
sheriffs and detectives here after at least
thirty-one of them before the week is
out, and then we shall borrow a shot
gun and go on d hunt after the odd one.
SOLD AGAiN.-Our esteemed contem-
porary has made another dismal failure.
On Monday he came out in double
loaded two column article on the Whar-
ton shooting case. and tried his best to
prove that we had an active hand in it
and were responsible for Judge John
sons death. At the coroner's inquest,
held on that same afternoon, Maj. Bliss
testified:
~ was sitting at table in the Red
Gross saloon with the editor of The
Kicker. We were there to talk over the
Mckinley bill and to take the initiatory
steps toward establishing another Sun
day school. Judge johnson came in.
He was pretty drunk. He saw Bob
Wharton at table beyond us and
pulled his gun. The editor of The Kicker
kindly asked him to put it up. and of
fered him years subscription to the
paper to go home and take nap The
judge refused and pressed forward to
get a shot. Next moment Wharton

truth, and yet our Jealous pated con-

AN OLD HOMESTEAD.

It stands beside the winding way
Where countless flowers smile
Tinie-toned into silver gray.
An ancient shingled pile.
Beside the gate lilac fair
Is bright with May-rain pearls
And from the chimney in the air
A smoke skein softly curls.
A willow ripples like the sea
In musical unrest,
And cradles in IFS drapery
An ashen hornets nest.
Bright tulips at the doorway set
Their airy fragrance spill.
A jar of creamy mighonetUe
Is on the window sill
There is struggling hedge of box
Beneath the drowsy trees,
The air is rich with rose and phlox
And murmurous with bees
The happy insects drone and hum
Mid daisies white as curds.
And in the swaying pear and plum
Ripple the songs of birds
The garden pathway wanders through
The quiet shade until
Beneath an elm it falls into
A cressy crystal riIl
The dusty road begins to wind,
And all tho bainy scene
Mefts softly nom my view behind
A cedor's billowy green.
