GaIiantry of the Sioux.

A correspondent who has just returned
from Pine Ridge agency tells story of
the visiting Sioux Indians who are now
in Washington.
Reading of the reception the Indians
received in church Sunday, and the Fact
that they attended the theatre Monday
evening, recalls a funny incident that
happened when they were in Chicago en-
route to Washington. The manager who
has charge Of the visiting Indians
thought he would amuse them by taking
them to the theatre in the evening. He
never for moment thought that tragedy
would rouse the warlike nature of
which the Sioux is so abundantiy en-
lowed. Well, he got them into several
boxes all right, and everything went
well until the third act.
The play was a heavy tragedy, and
in this act the heroine was to be killed.
The minute the villain attempted to
strike the woman with a knife three OF
the Sioux rose from their seats and act
ually prepared to leap over the boxes
onto the stage for the purpose Of rescu-
ing the heroine. The theatre was soon
in an uproaf, and it was only by renov-
ing the three refractory Indians from the
theatre that the actors could proceed.
That also explains why they were taken
to see a light opera in Washington

Der of the Manhattan club, who not long
ago surprised his waiter and the chef OF
the club by ordering broiled bacon served
with plain lettuce salad.
The waiter hesitated before filling the
novel order, and inquired second time
to assure himself that he had heard
Alright. When the news of the novelty
became noised abroad, and the members
of the club learned that it was the gen.
tleman's custom to order bacon with his
lettuce. they INDUCED in great deal of
good natured chatting at his expense.
Finally one after another tried the
combination, found it palatable and bore
testimony of the fact. The oddity has
now become extremely popular in the
city. 1t is remarkably palatable.

Longevity and Country Life.

How great the difference is between
an urban and rural population in the
average age of all who die may be con
veniently illustrated from the registra-
ton reports of Massachusetts, which
have been published for forty seven
years In the thirty years from 1850
to 1880 the average age of all the per
sons who died in Suffolk county, an
urban county on the seaboard, was
80 10 years; the average age of all per
sons who died in Barnstable, rural
county on the same seaboard, was 81; ;
in Franklin, an inland rural county,
IS IL; while the average age of all the
persons who died in the island county
of Nantucket during the thirty years
was very nearly double the average
age at death in Suffolk 46. Is,
The same reports show that the an
nual death rate is uniformly higher in
the densely populated counties than in
the sparsely populated ones Other
causes besides density of population
contribute to produce these striking re-
suits; but the main fact remains that a
family which lives in the country has a
better chance of continuance than one
that lives in the city. Moreover, if the
family history of the actual leaders, for
the time being, in business and the
professions in any American city, be
studied, it will usually be found that a
very large proportion of them were
country bred. The country breeding
gives a vigor and an endurance which
in the long run outweigh all city ad-
vantages. and enable the well endowed
country boys to outstrip all their COM
petitors. President @. W. Eliot in
Forum.

Russia's Watchful Eye.

There was a meeting of representative
railroad men and steamship managers in
st. Petersburg to discuss the feasibility
of introducing round trip tickets in
the interior of Russia. Such tickets
would be of great benefit to those who
have business III the Volga district, and
make short trips from one city to an
other by the steamers on that river. and
also to excursionists along the railroad
lines. But this measure is discounte-
nanced by the police authorities.
AT present there is an officer stationed
by every ticket office who may examine
the passports of the travellers, without
whose permission no ticket can be sold.
But if round trip tickets should be is
sued, the holder of u return ticket to any
place may sell it to another person, and
the police would be unable to keep its
eye on the travelling public. Exchange,
