MERRY INDIANS.
The Theory That They Never Laugh
Proved to BE Erroneous.

The Theory That They Never Laugh
Proved to BE Erroneous.
The general theory of white men is
that an Indian is taciturn, reticent and
sclf-containcd, without q streak of
humor, and no taste at all for n good
joke. This is IN error, says the Kansas
City Star. They are funny themselves
like fun in others, and probably do
moro laughing than anybody, on in
tinitely slighter foundation. An outfit
OF Navajos had just concluded Wig
orous and searching investigation of the
syvill-barrcl, which stood ut the rear of
the restaurant at Englc, n. NJ, one day,
when Santa Fc fireman, who stood
watching them, concluded to wash
them up little. They surely needed
it, albeit they clung to different views
from the fireman.
BY Establishment AID guile and much
rs elder people pet reluctant and timid
children when steering their mex
perience against some medicinal dead
fall, the tiScmen took the gathering of
aavagcs over to the watertank, and
letting down the spout, earnestly adj
vised them to stand beneath and sec
what they would see. Some four or
uVo nad the resolution to do this, the
major portion of the gang retiring to q
safe distance and taking very pess;-
mistic view of the proceeding. When
the candidates were all placed, their
friend, the fireman, counted zone, two.

tank. About ton OF water struck
those poor Indians oil at once For a
second they seemed held by the dcluro
itself and stood motionless, but tho
next, with soul transfxing shricks,
they started. They did not run nor fly,
for that would not have been half fast
enough; they just hit about three high
places on the plain and were several
miles away.
The dry Indians laughed and howlcd
with delight and for two hours after
the joke their yclls OF pleasure still re-
sounded through the little camp.

ORIGIN OF THE vALEN TINE.
Earlier Than tho Beginning of Christian.
ity-Probably Roman.

Earlier Than tho Beginning of Christian.
ity-Probably Roman.
The origin of the custom of sending
love tokens about the 14th of February
is hard to trace, but it is safe to say that
the connection of st. Valentine with it
is purely accidental if not mythical, as
in the legends of differept saints of that
namc no trace of the practice peculiar
to the 14th of February Is found.
1t has been suggested by learned au-
thorities, says the American Stationer,
that the custom may have been a sur
vival of the Lupercalia Of the ancient
Romans celebrated in the month of
February. Among other things, the
names of young women were put in a
box and drawn out by chance by the
men, who were thus nominally mated
for year.
AS the Christian clergy could not cx-
tirpate this pagan practice, they sub
stituted the names of particular saints
for those of the women, the namo
drawn being tho patron saint for the
year. Certain it is that in many Catholic
countries on st. Valentines day or some
other n patti on saint is selected and
termed n valentine. 1t is not difficult
to believe that the whole ceremonial
originated in nature worship, which
must have been in the primitive form of
religion, and that it sprung from the
observations of the popularity of the
season. This would explain the old
assertion that birds choose their mates
at about this time of the year, and
thence came the custom of young men
and maidens choosing valentines or
special loving friends on st. Valentines
day, because, as Tennyson says:
In the spring the young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts OF love-"
In regard to the various customs OBJ
served on February ii, in different
countries, an old authority says that,
during the fifteenth century, on the eve
OF the day "a number of maids and
bachelors would assemble together and
inscribe upon little billcts the names of
IN cQual number of bachelors and maids
of their acquaintance and throw the
whole into Il receptacle and then draw
them cut, care being taken that each
should draw one of the opposite sex
The person drawn thus became ones
valentino. OF course, besides getting a
valentine for ones self, one became
some other persons valentine, but the
man usually stuck faster to the one he
had drawn than to her to whom he had
fallen. These imaginary engagements
often led to real ones, because for a
whole year bachelor remained bound
to the service of his valentine, after the
fashion of the medieval knight of ro-
nance to his lady love-"

S4ttonC SUBMISSION TO che agent OF God

The opposition offered by Ria Pasha
and others of the higher officials to jul

down in this country to corrupt motives,
writes contributor in the Spectator.
They want brides, it is said, for protect
ing unworthy suitors, or they desire the
opportunity Of expressing their enc
mics, or their dependents enemies,
through the agency of the police. The
charge is probably true in part, most
orientals desiring irregular rewards.
just us Bacon did, and thirsting for ir-
regular power and the abjcct Difference
and sense of authority which irregular
power spccdilyproduces; but they could.
il they were perfectly articulate, make
better defense for themselves than
Englishmcn imagfne-a defense, too, in
which the suitors before them would
cordially concur. There are just Asiat-
les rs we'll as unjust, though they arc
usually few, and Asiatics, too, whom no
man could bride; and as they and their
suppliants would resist Mr.. SCOTS re-
forms as stif1ly as their corrupt compa-
triots it may be of some interest to q
few observers of human nature to state
the reasons why. The popular notion
that Asiatics do not caro- for justice, or
even positively dislike it, is of course
without foundation. Tho approval of
justice is almost as instructive rs the
idea of difference between right and
wrong, and an Asiatic submits more
humbly to n just sentence than n Euro
pean. The agent of God, he thinks, has
found him out, which it was his especial
business in this world to do, and which
Is evidence, among other things, Of the
reality of his commission, and vind;c-
tiveness on that account would be only

lish jailkecpers to be also entertained
by the convicts in their charge
The idea that an Asiatic does not de-
sire just decision on the merits of the
case rs between PLAINTIFF and defendant,
or accuser AID accused, is utterly with
out foundation. The only difference In
that respect between the races is that
the Asiatic is not convinced of tho in
hcrcnt equality of men, holding that
the great and those invested with sane
tity ought to have some favor shown
them, and that as regards fitting pun
ishmcnts, he belongs to the fifteenth
century and would have no kind Of feel
ing about torture, mutilation, Or break
ing on the wheel. The highest Egyp-
tian expositor of the law did, indeed, in
this very discussion, lay it down rs q
cardinal dogma that brigand should
suffer the amputation Of his hands-a
penalty which no European government
dare attempt to inforcc for any offense
whatever.

Some of the Excellent Qualities Which

I cannot speak gratefully enough of
our faithful Zanzibaris. On them we
were entirely dependent for such food
as we were able to scrape together
The Zanzibari, it is true, will lie and
thicvc-mbst untaught negroes will
but with the white man with whom he
has worked, whom he respects and has
confidence in, though starving himself,
he will share his last crust, writes Jeph-

himself, bringing us n little store of
toadstools and laying it before us, say:
''Mastcr, take your share, God is
good"
There was something childlille and
simple about these Zanzibaris which
always appealed strongly to our sympa-
thy. ct work you may be as severe rs
you please; you may fog him when he
does wrong, SO long as when the work
is done you relax, and gossip and talk
with him. His quaint remarks upon
people and things are always entertain
ing and often instructive.
You listen to his stories about his
wife or mother, his sister or friend,
about his home in Zanzibar, and his
little plot of land, in fact you make
him feel that though you will force
him to do his full share of work, ut
the same time you syrnpathize
with him in his troubles and arc really
his friend. If you do this he will work
for you and follow you with dog-lille
fidelity.
have often seen a Zanzibari who
had laid himself open to punishment
lie down and take his fifteen or twenty
strokes of the cane, and after he has re-
ceived them get up and raising his
hands above his head, say: Hand ell

means he has done wrong, he has re-
ccivcd his punishment, and now he and
the world are even.
If punished justly, this child of ma
ture never bears malice; but injustice,
want of sympathy or cruelty will
transform him into sullcn, mutinous
devil, with whom nothing can be DONE
OF course there are times when the
Zanzibari is most troublesome and has
to be treated with great severity, but
when once he understands that n
man is his friend and master, these
ebullitions are not of frequent occur
