What is the reason one hears in public
places the loud voices of women so much
oftener than men?
Women-these loud voiced ~
to have the fancy that they cannot be
seen unless they are heard. And so they
can't-in their true character. II it were
not that their words and laughter hoated
out into space and above the hum Of all
other voices they really might at some
time get mistaken for ladies. From
their looks no one would imagine for an
instant that they were common, i'll bred
and vulgar.
A quiet flash of intelligence from their
eyes, accompanied by an apprecistive
smile, would really convince an onlooker
that possibly it was the f~orerunner of
the keenest wit. But no wit can ac-
company the loud guffaw hat bursts
out at the slightest ~provocation; no wit
from the boisterous laughter, and no APP
probation of wit in Others. -Chicago

We have had a run of prosperity for
some years, and had been RECALLED with
the thought that we had more food ma
terial than the nation could consume,
and as much to spare 5 the rest of the
world might want to buy. The indica-
tons are that the day of heavy surplus
production is fast waning. Our wheat
crop in 1874 was the magnificent total of
512, 760, 900 bushels. 1t has not kept at
the upper notch, and in the year 1889 it
figured a maximum yield of 400, SOC, 900
bushels. We have a greater population
by nearly 10000 o than a decade ago,
and the increase of home consumption
would necessitate a larger yield and not
a maller.-Economist.

On March %. 1871, Thomas Thompson
lifted three barrels of water, weighing
together 1896 pounds. He also put an
iron bar ON his neck, seized hold of its
two ends, and bent it until the latter
met. On another occasion he raised
with his teeth a table six feet long sup
porting at its farthest end a weight of 100
pounds. He also tore without serious
effort a rope of a diameter of two inches,
and lifted a horse over a bar.-Cham-

A Chicago telegram brings this inter-
esting bit Of information: In face Of the
laugh which since his recent letter on the
silver question many jaundiced Repubii-
cans have seen 6t to give those who
champion Mr.. Cleveland for the race Of
'92, the views OF ex-UDited States Sena-
tor Hill, of Colorado will be interesting.
he is Dot only a staunch Republican, but
also a strong aud earnest advocate OF free
silver.
I'VE Of the West" he said, do not
look for favorable action by any occupant
OF the white house upon free silver legiS-
lauon. The presidents, coming as they
do from the Fast, are impreEnated with
the gold theories ofthe Eastern inanciers.
They believe that free silver would work
ruin upon the country, and they can't
help believing SO; and we are neither sur
prised nor tempted to think less of them
for thinking SO. Now if Mr.. Harrison
should, in the event Of congress sending
70 him q free silver bill, veto it, it would
not affect his standing out West, and eI.

Tho hunting of deer in the Rocky
mountains has driven them north into
British America, and in a few more
years our Indians will nave no more
buckskins for leggins and moccasins.
Only the skin of the heavy hided deer
can be used, that Of the antelope and
white tailed varieties being too tender
for long service. The Apaches make
their moccasins and leggins in one piece,
in the style of hunting boots, while most
of the Indians to the north wear slippers
and leggins. Whenever a deer Is killed
and cut up the bladder is carefully cut
away, cleaned, and filed with the brain
of the animal, and the little bag is most
carefully guarded until a stream is
reached, where the hide may be cured.
The entire skin is then put into run
ming water, and weighted down with
stones. In four or five hours the soak
ing has swelled it and loosened the hair
at the roots, when it Is taken out and
stretched on q frame, while the owner,
with the aid Of a cleaned rib of the ami
NAL. scrapes it down until all the hair is
rubbed off, very much in the same man
ner as overheated horses are scraped to
remove the foam and sweat. The skin
is then pulled and stretched for three or
four hours, and, at the same time, oiled
with the brain until it is perfectly dry,
soft and pliable, when it is ready for
use. When a tan color is desired 1t is
soaked in an infusion of red bark. The
sole of the moccasin is always made of the
raw hide of beef cattle and sewed to the
upper with the sinews of the deer's tendon

THE RED MAN IN WINTER
HOW INDIANS EAT AND LIVE DUR
ING THE COLD MONTHS.

Construction of = Tspee-FurnIshInKs of
the Tent-How Their Bread Is Ads
Process of Hunting and Curing the
Leather for LeEEins and nIOccasins.
1t is o strange that Indians are short
lived nor that there should be so high q
rate of mortality among their children.
The tribes north of an east and west line
coinciding with the northern limit of
New Mexico use for dwellings what is
known as the tepee. An Indian Of
wealth in the Ute country sometimes
has an opportunity to purchase an A
tent, and even a wall tent, at some sale
Of condemned quArtermaster's supplies,
but the very best and newest canvas af-
fords poor protection against the snow
storms and freezing winds Of the plains.
The tent is usually staked down, with
a shallow gutter dug round it to carry
of the rain water, which would other
wise food its interior, and, beginning in
the early autumn, a fire is built in the
center of the earth floor, which is sell
dom allowed to go out. Overhead and
hanging in lines suspended from the
canvas are the rifles and other weap-
ons Of the family, and the floor is cov-
cred with about six inches of dead grass
or hay, which in time is trodden down
and pressed into a fair and tolerably
soft mattress. Wrapped up in his blanket,
with his mead resting on his saddle for
a pillow, the Indian sleeps through the
night, depending somewhat on the fire
to keep him from freezing in extremely
cold weather.

apex of the tent may be kept open. but
during storms, when 1t is closed, the at
mosphere of the tent is sitting and reek-
ing with the odor of the unwashed fam
lily and Of the many damp and badly
cured furs which every buck accumu-
lates. Far from the agencies the In
dams lay in a small stock of -four, coffee
and sugar sufficient to be used sparingly
through the winter, which, with his
frozen beef or antelope meat, constitutes
his bill of fare.
In a tent ten feet in diameter, a buck,
two squaws and Ave or six small children
pass the winter months, and considering
their ~uncleanly habits, it is not difficult
to imagine the condition Of the habita-
ton in the spring. They themselves
probably appreciate this. because rather
han clean up they simply move their
tent to some clean spot.
With a little -four, water and salt the
squaws make a thick paste. which is
first cooked on hot stones until it be-
comes stiff, and then each cake is further
cooked by standing it on its edge with
its fat surface exposed to the flames
until it is thoroughly baked into quite
palatable bread. Their meat is fried in
its own fat or roasted on a spit stuck in
the ground, while a small child keeps it
turning to equalize the roasting. The
bread cakes serves as plates, while their
fingers are both knives and forks, so the
Indian has no dish washing process to
go through with, for when the meal is
finished he eats his plate and ticks off his
knives and forks with his tongue.
