flames of the Calvenistio hell. In the

the rejoicings in an Indian village when
the braves came home from successful

Give soldier - Then came the fun for
the women and children.
In the first place the poor victim is
stripped naked to the waist; laid fat
upon his back on the turf; his arms are
stretched out at right angles from the
body; thongs are bound around the
wrists and fastened TO stakes that are
then firmly driven in the ground, his
feet are similarly secured and there he
is, absolutely unable to stir hand or foot.
Then the squaws and children surround
him; they daub his face with agency
strip to attract all manner of Insects that
he cannot brush away; they teach the
tiniest brat in tue tribe to slash at him
with little knives; they make little
slashes in the arms or breast and stick
in sharp pointed slivers of burning wood !,
or matches like Dicks. They show the
pickaunies how to amputate q finger,
joint by JOINT, and if the wretched victim
faint away, dash buckets of water on his
head to bring him to, and all the time
keeping up shIill chatter and laugh, for
Indian heaven offers to their untutored
minds no sweeter joys than these.
Then bigger boys claim a share in the
fun and are allowed TO practice on this
living target with blunted arrows.
Blunted because if one were to penetrate
and kill him outright there would be no
fun left for the evening. 1t is just like
your Fourth of July. Despite strong
temptation to touch off all his squibs,
crackers, Roman candles and rockets at
one wild hurrah, the average boy can re-
strain himself for the sake of having
something left for the night and the

DOLLS THAT TALK.

There are many startling things to be
seen nowadays, since electricity has
been called into play for the everyday
convenience OF merchants and house,
wives, but there is nothing more start
ling within the range of invention than
Mr. Edison's photographic doll.
And no one finds this new talking doll
more wonderful than abe who was the
little girl of our grandmother time,
and who once thought, and thinks, per-
haps, even to-day that the little rag doll
that has been laid away for years, with
its best calico gown and trim white apron :,
in the old oak chest in the attic, was next
to her mother in loneliness, and the
dearest and prettiest dolly in all the
world.
Since this same little girl rocked her
rag baby to sleep in its homemade era
die many changes have been made in
fashions and the doll has kept pace with
them all.
Rag babies have long since been ont Of
style. Even the china-faced, blue-eyed
cherubs with cloth bodies and shoes that
could be put on and taken off, and were
often lost, but never worn out, have
gone out of date. AS the old farms grew
year by year nearer aud nearer the city +,
and were finally laid out In town lots,
and our grandmothers put aside their
ginghams for silks, the dolls, too, began
to put on airs.
Then there came dolls of foreign make,
with eyes that opened and closed, real
hair and wax arms and feet. After these
were dolls that said ''mamme'' and
"papa" when the right springs were
pulled; dolls that cried when they were
reproved, and dolls that walked when
the spring that was concealed under
their clothes was set in motion.
This marked the golden age in the
dolls history. There were some little
girls who had small fortunes in doll 8
wardrobes-dresses made in Paris and
perfect in fashion-miniature houses for
them TO live in, maids to wait on them
and costly carriages for them to ride in.
To make the doll really human, voice
to speak with, genuine tears to shed and
heart to feel, were all that the maker
was called upon to supply. The arst of
these have now been supplied.
The history of the invention of the
photographic doll is not the least inter-
esting page in the dolls chronicle.
When Mr.. Edison first invented the pho
nograph it was clumsy and unwieldly
contrivanee, expensive to make and I'M
satisfactory in its performance. 1t took
up large amount of room and was very
heavy. A photograph In that shape and
of that size could no more be used for
talking doll than a railway locomotive
could for walking doll. Yet it was
first suggested at that time that the pho
nogrsph could be used for dolls and toys.
For q number of years thus suggestion
was not acted upon. Mr.. Edison was
engaged IN perfecting his electric hight
lamps and IN making improvements in
the telephone. He had no tims to give
to monographs and dolls.
But after while the great inventor
found time TO give to his long neglected

4 Talk for the Benefit of Young Folks,
Especially Boys, by Henry Clews,
Oy NV YORK, ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST
Prominent MEMBERS OF THE New YORK
STOCK EXCHANGE.
An exchange is o resort for merchants
OF brokers'. Yon can very well imagine
how such On institution became necessary
IN the progress of the business world {.
Merchants who wished to have dealings
With one another had to get together and
t,Ik over their business, each one Offer
lag what be had to sell. In the very
olden times they must have found it
troublesome and wesTisome visiting one
snother's stores in various parts of the
town; very naturally then they came to
sgree upon q certain place where they
should all meet at a particular time of
The day and so save their making sepa-
nts journeys from store to store.
In this way the idea OF the exchange
originated in the commercial cities of
Italy, Germany and the Netherlands,
from which last named country they
we're copied by England. In olden times
% exchange used to be called brysa,
Or bOurse, an antiquated Latin term,
meaning purse, or place of treasure.

What He Said In His yvatsrville Speech

In his speech at Waterville, Me-, Mr..
Blaine said:
For nearly thirty years now the United
States has had the great advantage OF q pro-
tective tariff-by far the longest unbroxen Pc
riod that its industrial policy has been in force
since the Federal Government was organized.
Happily the great majority of our people, with
out strict regard to party lines believe that the
results to the American people from the protec-
tive policy have been intellectually bene1cent,
aggregating in quarter OF q century n0toa0l
and fndiUiduIL wealth beyond any thing ever
dreamed OF before In the history of the world"
This glowing eulogy over the beneti-
cent results of protection was unques-
tionably BETTING the surroundings and
responsive to the aspirations of the
principal Interests" of that State, and
since nine-tenths of the 1000 mag
mates who own three-ffths of the Ma
tional wealth live east of the Aliegha-
MES. these sentiments were applauded
all through that section as the emana-
| tions of great statesman.
The joke is that Mr.. Blaine, when he
uttered the above. was conscious of the
fact that his fiscal policy has reduced

never use such towels more than once"
"You are very much mistaken there, :"
responded the chemist ~ use such
towels almost forever, and they almost
never wear out"
With that he lifted of the lid of the
stove and took out the towel with the
tongs. dipping it in cold water and then
handing it once more to the newspaper

In one of Shakespeare's plays, 1.-THE
Two Gentleman of Verona" the hero,
Valentine, and his servant Speed, are
captured by band of outlawed robbers.
Valentine tells them, in response to
their 9uestionings, what kind of man
he is, and he paints his character so at
tractively that ono of the cut-throats
says:

The servant Speed, then remarks:
Master, be one of them;
It is an honorable kind of thievery.
After some parley, and a rather for
midable show of force, Valentine con-
sents to be their king,
Provided that you do outrages
