An Indian Challenge.

Two tribes of Indians in the upper
part of California had as boundary be-
tween their districts low ridge where
the streams headed. Ifyou should go to
where one of these streams, Potter river,
rises you would see still standing tall
pile Of stones beside never failing
spring. On one side of this cairn was the
territory Of the Pomo indians, and on the
other the land of the Chumaia. These
tribes were enemies, and were often at
war. When the Chumaia wished to
challenge the others to battle they took
three little sticks, cut notches round
their ends and in the middle, tied them
at the ends into a faggot and laid it on
this cairn. If the Pomos accepted the
challenge they tied a string around the
middle Of the three sticks and left them
in their place. Then agents of both
tribes met on neutral ground and ar
ranged the time and place Of battle,
which took place accordingly.-St. Mich

Decline of Literary Receptions.

The past winter has practically set
tied one thing in New York-that the
literary reception has had its day. Two
years ago Evenings" were held by all
the well known literary people, but the
practice was abused, and the following
year saw the beginning of the end. This
past season but few literary Eat homes
have been given, and these lacked their
former interest-so much so that next
winter will see still smaller number.
One cause of the unpopularity into which
the literary reception in New York has
fallen was its shameful abuse. A liter
airy woman would begin her season with
q small coterie of her select friends, and
SO long rs those same congenial spirits
came together all went delightfully."- well.
But one friend brought another, and
after two or three weeks he would in
turn bring third, until at the close of
the season the hostess would find her
rooms overrun with lot of minor litSY.
airy lights whom she scarcely knew, and
the spell was broken. Then the deaths
of Miss Booth, Oliver Bell Bunce, the
removal of Marion Harland made a diff
ference, and so for more than one reason
the practice has died out. Perhaps the
change will be for the better, since privi-
legged friends will be more certain Of
agreeable companionships upon special
evenings when the hostess signifies her
intention to be at home for these, and
these alone. edward w. Boks Letter.

An Extraordinary Advertisement.

A few days since q man entered q
lawyers office where | happened to be
for moment, looked around in rather n
cautious and theatrical fashion and slow
ly opened large leather valise which he
carried in one hand. From this he ex-
tracted small parcel done up in brown
paper and, laying it on n convenient
desk, said softly TO the clerk, That's for
the boss" Then he tiptoed out of the
Office. The parcel was at once taken 10
the lawyer, who tore off the wrappings
and discovered a small china breakfast
plate, upon which lay what looked ex-
squashed up little bit on the plate ap-
parently and it was movable. The plate
was bona fde, but the alleged egg was
made of PAPER mache. We all looked
at it carefully, and after little prying
about it was found that the yolk of the
egg could be lifted.
Under it lay what was apparently a
peanut. This was opened, and within
it - ere was found small sheet of white
tissue paper upon which a few letters
were family visible. The lawyer went
to the window with everybody follow
ing at his heels, examined the paper
closely, and discovered upon it an adj
vertisement of hair restorer and pre-
ventive of badness. Then he threw the
whole outfit into the corner with growl
and went back to his desk. 1t struck
me as being about the most complete adj
vertisement that have seen of late. 1t
is an illustration of the extraordinary
length to which advertisers go in their
efforts to reach the public. -Blakely

Plain Living.

To the ordinary housekeeping youth
plain living is usually the every day
diet to which he has always been accus-
toned, with little regard to its fitness or
wholesomeness. With royal contempt
for divergent tastes, he is apt to give a
domestic version of the old saying, "Or-
thodoxy is my doxy, SO heterodoxy must
be yours" What suits him should suit
every one. The same spirit animated

definition Of "oats" as Sin England, food

the whirligig of time has so twisted af-
fairs around that the food at which the
great photographer sneered little more
than hundred years ago is now an ar
ticle of daily diet in thousands of En-
glish homes. The plainest of plain liv-
ing it is to US nowadays, but the high
thinking of the Seventeenth and Eigh-
tenth centuries was cultivated on very
different aliment. Yet who is prepared
to say that greater intellects have ever
been known in the English nation than
were produced in the days of roistering,
wine bibbing and high living, when
such minds were developed as those of
Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Dryden, Addi-
son, Swift, Pope and countless others

quently, we have to export. Our
best market is the United States,
owing to the fact that England is

the United States. Last year the
Mckinley Tariff came into effect
and imposed duty of l2cts. pound
on all fleece combing woods similar
to those grown in Canada and a6cts.
a pound on all pulled or skin woods.
This made it impossible TO export
pulled wool to the United States.
We are in that unenviable position,
that we have to sell our wool for
whatever the United states manu-
facturer likes to give, and in this
case, the farmers pay the duty, as we
cannot and could not get as much
for our woods, if they were shipped
to England, France or Germany.
