The Usage Indians are the wcalthiest
redskins in the United States. They
have large fund TO draw upon in the
United States Treasury, aud Il is esti-
mated that each member Of the Usage
tribe--men, women and children--is
worth SIS, 900. Outside Of the Usage
tribe arc many individual Indians who
are growing rich. This is especially
true of the members OF the five civilized
tribes Cherokees, Creeks, Choc-
saws. and Seminolcs-which live in the
Indian Territory and have government
Of their own. The interest money due
them by the Government is paid to them
regularly without question, because they
are perfectly competent to take care OF
their own affairs. Many of them are
we'll to do; and if all of their race had
their business ability there is no reason
why the majority should not be indie
pendent.
ACCORDING to the New York World
"The blae-jay liar who halls from As
toria, CAL, is about as picturesque as
any. He says that Andrew Young
recently discovered that blue-ja were
digging up potatoes, flying with them in
their bills aud dropping them into hole
in hollow tree on his ranch for future
use. The potatoes fell through to the
ground, aud Mr.. Young Immediately
had large idea. He harvested the po-
tatoes on his own ranch aud the blue
Jaws then turned their attention to the
potato patches OF his neighbors. This
matter arranged, Mr.. Young carried
the potatoes away in sack as fast as
the birds dropped them into the tree,
and in this way he harvested fifty bushels
as gift via the blue jay express from his
neighbors. The snake liar will have to
eat some attic salt and brighten up his
| faculties"
A YOUNG man living in a suburban
village of Paris, France, who for long
| time has been unable to walk without
| crutches, astonished his friends by rising
at midnight of recent day and walking
/ ten miles without artificial aid. He then
returned to bed and awoke next morning
with no feeling of WEAKNESS and entirely
oblivious of what had occurred. His
physicians are puzzled.
MANY people, one time and another,
have had no roof for their heads; but
Peter Conlin, of the Ohio Pen Tertiary,
is probably the first instance of man
! having mo ruUf cor hts mouth. There Is
an abnormal opening up into his head
three or four inches deep. which he has
to keep filed with cotton so that his
food will not get into it.
A NATURAL curiosity made its appear
ance on a breakfast table in New York
city recently. Within fresh Leghorn
hens egg, of the usual size, was found
what appeared to be a perfectly formed
egg about as big as sparrow's egg, lack.
ing only the hard shell, but inclosed an
q membrane remarkably trm.
A vERrTABLE curiosity has been cap
tured in Africa 1t is an elephant larger
than the late lamented Jumbo, pea-green
in color, trunkless, and has tusks that
branch out something like the horns OF
n deer. 1t is in possession OF a native
king, who will not part with it.
