The Pnpoose Likes III. Cradle.

The Indian father and mother COM

close cradle or bed for the papoose.

then adorns and embroiders it with
beads and grasses. and lines and pads

The papoose is lightly strapped in

comfortable, but it is said that after

Fly Speck Made n big Difference.
LII 4.

Philadelphia Record: In one OF our
large establishments connected with
the iron industry there occurred re-
Gently an apparent discrepancy in the
accounts involving matter OF 5000
pounds of scrap iron. The clerks of
the department were set to work to
unravel the tangled skein, and after
they had expended two whole DAYS in
the search they were compelled to give
up the task and pronounce it beyond
their comprehension. Thus matters
stood for several days.
Several days later the Office boy de-
cided to keep himself in addition by
footing up column of figures on a
sheet which was lying on a desk beside
him in the scrap-iron department.
Bending his enemies to the task he got
along swimmingly with the units tens
and hundreds columns, but whom he
came to the fourth column he could not
make it agree with the footings set
down. Again, and again he tried it
and with the same results, 900 less.
Going over the figures one by one his
attention was drawn to a queer looking
one. A fly speck was beside j. in such
a position as TO make it appear like a
Tour, and as such it had been counted
by each OF the clerks in the depart
ment The boy had earned his pro-
motion, and he got it.

The sovereignty of the islands was
first offered to England, after dis

1858, but the commissioner sent out to
investigate reported adversely. Mean
while the influx of English and other
European settlers increased, and a
stable government became a necessity.
In 1869, accordingly, the protectorate
was again offered to England and like
wise to the United States, but neither
power cared to undertake the dubious
responsibility. Two years later a
brief experiment of constitutional gov

tried but this failed, and Great Brit

civilized settlers by accepting the SOW

Whistling for a Wind.

There is nothing so tedious, so aggrava-
ting to the sailor as dead calm. Drift,
drift, drift, day after day, the great burn
ing sun overhead reflected by the waters
until the eye becomes wearied with the
eternal brightness. The sailor goes about
his work listlessly. Not so the officer OF
the deck. He PAGES the poop with quiet,
nervous tread, "whistling for a wind"
He is scanning the horizon north, south,
east and west, carefully noting every little
patch of clouds and whistling with all OF
his soul for wind. This is one OF the old,
old snperstitions Of the sailor, one Of the
beliefs which has been traced hither and
thither, but never to the Precipitation of
the gods. IL probably had its origin in the
impotence of the mariner who, while his
vessel lay drifting idly in the Zone OF
Gains" remembered with regret the
hoarse moaning, shrieking and whistling
of the winds in the more favored spots on
the deep, and Involuntary tried to i'm
itate it.
And this superstition Is strengthened by
the character Of the whistling, for it must
be remembered that the becalmed sailor
does not whistle Annie Laurie" or any OF
the popular songs of the day, The lone
some thrill of his monotonous whistle" is
a series Of polyglot sounds that would set
magpie wild with envy. He does not aim
at rhythm, but elects his puffs of air in
long and short notes, now high, now low,
like the sounds produced by the wind blow
ing through the ropes OF the rigging. st.
