"3ecretary Proctor's idea of enlistine
Indians rs soldiers, up to the 25,OOC
limit, as he is legally empowered to do,
is a good one" said Colonel William F..
Cody, at the Hoffman House. "It has
my hearty approval. 1t can be done
successfully, and it is good thing all
around.
"You know tho special law failed ia
pass either House, but the Secretary OF
War has q good deal of authority as it is,
and can do as he proposes without trou-
BILE. There is but one thing in the way
of success, and that would be the re-
luctance of the Indians to enlist for any
such length of time as five years. Tho

contracts. But he makes the best SOL

companies of them now-about one hun

as light cavalrymen.

Mitchell in a roundabout way that the
money needed to pay the men at a coal
mine and also at large factory was de-
posted with him on the fourteenth of

him to be locked in the vault overnight as
it came up from Pittsburgh by messenger.
Ireasoned that Mrs. Gray would worm
this information out of him in some way,
or that her accomplice would discover it,
and that if she had the combination of

notes at the park, also on the thirteenth.

find the canine in his kennel, and sick

within ten feet of him, hidden behind a
bush, and it was an hour and a half be-

the neighborhood was in bed and asleep
by that time, and was not greatly sur

knew to be that of Mrs. Gray, suddenly
appeared and passed me five feet away,

at the kennel to speak of the dog, and

much sought for and so costly would not
long remain without attempts to initiate
it. And certainly the Chinese have gone
so far in the fabrication of a glass exact.
ly like jade-if it may be called glass
that experts are often at fault in regard
to small pieces in which there is little or
no carving.
But all this does not explain why jade
has held its OWE so we'll in competition
with other stones to which curative OF
prophylactic qualities were ascribed.
The clue is probably to be found in
America. The Spaniards appear to have
received from the Indians the belief that
the green Amazon stone resembling jade
was good for the kidneys, but for that
matter they might have found the same
idea at home. The word jade is from
the Spanish piedra de ijada in allusion
to such curative powers, meaning stone
of the stomach, or collie stone. "Sym-
pathetic magic" is the term used by Mr..
J. G. Frazer in "The Golden Bough" for
this order of superstitious analogies be-
tween living things and inanimate. A
green stone was hung against the stom-
ach, if we may believe Galen, as rem
edy for cramps. Thus when the stone
became specialized as remedy for
troubles of the bowels, it began career
which is not ended yet, passing from ar
ticle of medicine to fetch and lucky
stone, thence to preventive of poisoning,
then to articles Of luxury, and at last to
its present position of artistic eminence,
where Americans and European collec-
tors dispute fine pieces just as they do
canvases of Rembrandt and fgurines
from Greece and Asia Minor, namely,
for their beauty and artistic worth.--

Monkeys in the East Indies are very
bold and mischievous. An English resi-

three hundred miles north Of Bombay,
gives a droll instance of this.

of the editable vegetable called "brin-
jals" to mis- parents house for breakfast.
In passing the house of the local police
man, this urchin was impuden tly
attacked by huge blue faced ape, which
suddenly emerged from the trees, rushed
on the boy, and seized two of the brin'
jals.
The youngsters cries and scream'

Treasure no gold could buy

And all that the monarch has.

Ere he lay his sweet life down.
They are winged, like the viewless wind
These days that come and GO
And we count them, and think of theNend,

The whole world darkens with pain
When a sunset fades in the west
