An Indian Tradition,

There is u tradition amongst the Indi-
ans that away back in the dusky hitherto
knowledge of a cave of gold was pos
sessed by an Indian family Oh the SAT-
geen peninsula, who handed the secret
down from father to son and guarded it
with jealous care. The cave was sup
posed to be situated somewhere on the
Spanish river, and one a year the head
of the family paid u visit to it and
brought away sufficient gold to last him
for twelve months. About 150years ago
the then son, being enticed away from
his native guilelessncss by intercourse
with the crafty paleface, put up a job on
the old man, and patiently logged his
footsteps when he went on his yearly ex-
petition.
The unsuspccting father had filled his
tirebag with gold, and was turning to
leave tho cave, when he saw a shadow
lurking at the entrance. Quickas thought
he raised his gun and fired, and the fig
urc fell. When ho got out he found that
he had shot his son, and in the agony of
his grief drew his hunting knife and
stabbed himself to the heart, his body
falling across that of his son. There the
skeletons lie to this day, and any one
who molests them may expect tho treat
ment which all naughty boys receive
when they meddle with what does not
concern them.-Manitoulin Expositor.

Queer Part of Book Selling.

One Of the beauties of the subscription
system of book selling is this: If the book
is one Of a dozen, say, that you don't
want at any price, the agent, male and
female created, comes after you in YOU
weakest hours, and, penetrating to your
most secret lair, demands your piece of
money or your peace of mind. Whereas.
II the book be n Of real value and in
terest, that you, a nan or woman,
say not less than 1873 per cent. above the
zero of idiocy, would naturally care to
read and own, then what happens? Why,
then you have to seek out the publisher
yourself, who civilly refers you to some
general agent, who casually refers you
to some local agent, who sits in secret
somewhere smiling while you long for it.
Queer, is it not?-New York Tribune.

Bret Harris English.

The grammarian may object that Mr.
Bret Harte still places adverbs between
the sign of the infinitive and the verb.
During tho negotiation of the Alabama
treaty our government t%elegraphed to
Washington that this must not be done.
We had made great concessions, but we
could not concede "to faithfully main
tain in place of faithfully to maintain"
Whether the phrase vas of English or
American origin, it was altered by Mr..
Fish and Lord Grey. and all was peace.
Mr.. Bret Harte is not SO scrupulous on
this point as Mr.. Gladstone's government
was then, but many readers will CON
slider the matter a trife.-London News.

Edison,s Iittle .1aLe.

When the photograph was a newer in

Der one night. Just as. his friend was
%disrobing he heard a voice exclaim:
eleven o'clock; n hour more" It is
needless to say that slumber did not de-
scend upon the eyelids of the visitor
during that hour. At midnight the
voice exclaimed: Twelve o'clock; pre-
pare to die" This was too much for the
visitor, and he sprang from his bed and
rushed to the library, where Edison and
his friends were waiting patiently ex-
pecting his appearance. The invention
was o o explained and quiet restored

American Politeness.

In America politeness goes, as itshould,
before all else. One rule can be laid
down for general observance where a
PERSONS ideas of the proper thing to do
are unsettled-let him make himself ut
home. He should do so in a manner to
create some respect for home, unlike q
young man who called Mt the Office of a
noted Philadelphia, somewhat famous
fsr his straightforward utterances.
"Make yourself at home for a few
minutes" said tho owner of the office to
his visitor.
The young man, having seated him
self somewhat comfortably, but mistak-
ing IL table for a footstool. responded
cheerily:
81 always make myself at home"
"Then I pity the people at home," was
tho quick response.-Philadelphia Press.

Eat Nothing with Fish,

Think it is a wise plan that an Eng
fish friend of nine tells me Sir Morell
Mackenzie adopts in his own family, and
has caused to be followed by many of his
friends and patients-that of never allow
ing bread on the table when he has fish
there. Under no circumstances will ho
eat, Or permit to be eaten, fish or bread
at the same time. He holds that the
presence of bread in the mouth prevents
the detection of tho presence of a bone,
which is lodged in the throat before it is
discovered, and strangulation follows.
The wisest way is certainly to eat fish
alone, never with bread or similar sub
stances, for there is much danger in fish
bones.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

WAITING FoR MAY.

It's weary waiting for May, my dear:
It's weary waiting for May,
When never a breath Of the warm south wind
Comes to open a green leaved spray;
Sunshine for some, with its glow and light;
And for some gray skies-but It must be right
It's weary loving too well, my dear.
And finding 1t all In vain;
'Tis ever the hand we have chung to most
Can stab with the sharpest pain.
And hope dies hard; but the old wounds stay,
Heal them, hide them, as best We may.
My hair was glossy and bright, my dear,
When I watched and waited for May;
Twas silvered long ere I learned to krow
1t never would come my way.
Yes, 1 know-the May blooms wither and fall;
To have never had them is worst Of oil.
should like to have had a time, my dear.
To look back on ut close of strife,
And warm myself in ghostly sun
Which once had color and life.
Oh, never had light such a golden haze
AS that which shines through the mist of days!
The shadows arc falling fast, my dear;
Tho night Is coming soon;
And / am Fastening fast to a land
That needs nor sun nor moon;
And I think beyond the grave I'll see
Sunshine aud s%pringtime kept for me.

One of Towards Failures.

Bronson Towards play entitled "Met

duced at the Lyceum theatre, was the
worst kind of a failure, and it came i'm
mediately after the success Of zone of

brilliant success of the "Henrietta.n
Shenandoah" was produced first at the
Boston museum and failed to make any
profound or encouraging impression on
Boston audiences. But Howard had re-
written "Lillian's Last Love" into the
successful drama of "The Bankers
Daughter" and remembering this expe-
rlence he rewrote Shenandoah" into
the prosperous drama with which thea
tire goers are now familiar.-New York

A clever young Harvard instructor

"Just as l." answered a clever woman,
quickly, "never dare use feeble lest /

A great and universal contempt is felt
for the person who misspells. But some
of the wiscst men and the best have had
the misfortune of being unable always
to marshal their letters correctly.
A Cambridge provision dealer tells Of
receiving an order for salt "mackrel"

know will tell that the sermons of dis

Napoleon was not a correct speller,
and the Iron Duke slipped often. The
misfortune is often an inherited one, and
whole families unto their remotest

weakness.
"What!" says Maj. Pendennis, would

a Legal Bed of Roses.

The justices of the supreme court are
not to he blamed if they are vain. AL
day long they sit upon the grandest
throne in the United States, surrounded
by mor show of Difference and honor
than even the President receives, with
theatrical curtains of crimson silk draped
behind them and a great gold eagle over
their heads, with page boys at their
elbow, venerable lawyers bowling before
them, velvet carpets to hush the fall of
feet upon the court room floor, negro
doorkeepers watching over noiseless
doors, a dim religious light in the semi
circular room, and never ceasing throng
of awed citizens of this and other lands
reverentially staring them out of coun-
tenance. The Libyan lion at a circus
excites very little v%eneration and
W from the spectators. Ishould think
that the justices must feel sometimes
how like wild beasts on exhibition they
are. Perhaps they don't think of it at
all, for one grows accustomed in time to
anything, event to being a supreme court
judge.-Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

The other day a woman rushed frantic
ally into a Burlington, vt, drug store
bearing in her arms an apparently life
less baby. The mother wept and moaned,
and carried on at a terrible rate while
chafng the little hands, and begged the
druggist to save the little one. A by
