INDIAN AND HEBREW.
A Comparison of Some Peculiar Customs
 of the Two Faces.

4 Comparison of Some Peculiar Customs
 of the Two Faces.
 Early travellers among the Indians claim to have found rites and cerc- monies strikingly similar to those of inc Jews, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. George Catlin, the artist, who spent a considerable portion of his life among the tribes, said he believed that they had Jewish blood in their veins, although he could not go so far as to identify them with the lost tribes of Israel. The Indians worshiped a a great Spirit or a Jehovah. Idolaters were never found on the North Amer ican continent. The tribes had their council or medicine houses, which they held most sacred. They had their high priests and their prophets. They fol lowed the Hebrew custom iu not cllOvv- ing the women toworship with tho mon. Fifty years ago the Sioux exploited the same belief that they are dancing them selves crazy about now. They mai1- taincd that the Indians were the chosen people of the Great Spirit, and that in time they were to triumph over the rest of the world through a Messiah.
 In marriage the Indians had customs which savored of Palestine. They gave presents for their wives. Tn their bathing and in their family relations they followed with remarkable prccis- ion many of the requirements Of the Mosaic law. They observed certain laws of purifcation which the Old les tament teaches. Fifty years ago trav- clers found no difficulty in discovering the practice of these rites and core monies by the Indians. But as the line of white settlement advanced the h. dians gave up their old customs. Their forms were laughed at by white men and many of them were abandonc-L The ghost dance, which the Sioux have been soaring the frontier with, is the old sun dance under a new name. It used to be practiced frequently as an atOnemcnt. ceremony.
 There was once an Indian feast which was very like the annual feast of the passover. Some of tho tribes kept . feast with branches of willow and pre- liminary fasting, which bore striking resemblance to the Feast of Taber- nacles. The practice of offering to the Great Spirit the first green corn, and the first fruits of all kinds, was almost universal among the Indians before they became contaminated with white men.

| Society Man Steals Silver from Swell
 IIous to Win a Bet.
 s'I heard the other day good story, which my informant believes to be true" writes the Man About Town" in the New York Star. q give it for what it is worth: A young man about town made a bet of five hundred dollars that he could visit a number of fashion able receptions on single afternoon and carry off five hundred dollars worth of silverware. According to the terms of the bet he was not to visit any house where he was known. He mere Iy picked out list of receptions from a society paper, called cab and started on his predatory expedition. At the first house he was about to take a silver-mounted brush from the mems dressing-room when an application ot the teeth convinced him that the article was not worth the risk. Accordingly he dropped the brush and contented himself with some other article. He visited three or four places, and at each took something of value. Finally, just after he had slipped several spoons into his pocket at one place, a big man with a heavy mustache said to him: Have ou every thing you want?'
 Affecting to understand the other to refer to the eatables, he of the bet an swered: Yes, thank you: I'll not eat any thing mcrc.' When the young man left the house his questiOner, who was a detective, saw him get into the cab and heard the instructions given tC the driver. When the maker of the bet arrived at the next house he went to the dressing-room and promptly began poclzcting silver. But in the midst ot this the detective emerged from under the bed and attempted to arrest the supposed thief. The latter. however being an athlete, shook off the detect i've, ripped him up, and when those 1T the house reached the scene succeeded in persuading every enc that the de tective was the guilty man. This ac complishcd, the young man hastenet home, did up his plunder in packages addressed to the owners and sent eacl package home by messenger boy cautioned to deliver his packages an( answer no questions. The audaciOu young man won tho bet and escaped ar rest.''

The T.nzy Mans Iipc.

The most curious pipe of the year is the lazy mans pipe. As its name eX- presses, this is a pipe requiring the minimum of exertion to use it. Natur- ally, it ia of a somewhat complicated design, consisting of tube to hold the tobacco. and stem running crosswise of this for the mouth. The pipe is held by passing the two first fingers of the hand through two rings. one on either side of the bowl stem, and the mouth piece being placed in the mouth, the pressure of Q small valve that lies just under the thumb sets the ingenious mechanism inside to work. and the smoke is forced automatically into the month

AUSTRIAN LADIES.
The Training of the Aristocratic Women
 of This old Nation.


 of This old Nation.
 Ladies of high birth are wonderfully capable, owing to their excellent system of education, says a Vienna letter to the New York Evening Post. What ever they may be called upon to do from cutting a dress to making salad they are always ready.
 Younr ladies with titles and fortunes are sent to famous milliner3 and dress makers, where they serve a regular aD- prcnticeship. and remain until perfectly able to cut and make any garment.
 An Austrian lady who can not swim or does not know how to ride well is an exception.
 Needle work of every kind, even to the making of lace. is part of every young lady's education. There is no smattering of any thing; whether she learns the piano or to draw, she learns it thoroughly: If she has no talent at all for an art, which is seldom, she lets that art entirely alone. Her pedestrian accomplishments put us quite to shame; her efforts of memory are another source of wonder to us.
 The wonderful memory which ena- bles Austrian girls to repeat some times the whole of Paradise Lost, or an entire drama, comes from practice begun in babyhood.
 Every day the girl is expectedt to learn a poem or a page. She often does it while making her toilet; and at last 8 poem requires but a single reading, and it is slowed away in the memory safely. As linguists they are famous. This, too, comes from learning when very young. As the court language is French, learn ing it is compulsory. Even servants arc expected to speak both French and Ger man.
 The burghers' daughters will not con- descend to the learning of drcss-making and cooking. which tho titled lady can do without it's rejecting on her social position. And so the young women to whom such knowledge would be oi practical benefit are inefficient, while all the ladies at the court have at their fingers ends the power to do any thing.
 The Austrian lady of station is ac- quainted with every detail of the cui- sine. A story is told by Viennese ladies of another. who, having neglected this branch of her education, allowed, at . great dinner party which she gave, tive dishes of the same color to be served in succession-a fault for which no e. c,1SO cO11ld he male

AN AZTEC SACRIFICE.

Specimen Scene in Mexico in the D:ys o1
 the Montezu-nas.
 Fifty-two years constituted tae Azree cycle, says the Detroit Free Press. 1e this cycle was added coInpleT2c2t o1 thirteen days, intended t. taaize the solar and civil years agree. It wac be- lieved that the world would como t2 a. end on the last night Of a cTc.e, a-lt: that the gods, if mercifll. would hg2l their fires on the distant mouptalns. Il the world did not come t0 ol c1'.i the Aztecs congratulated theclselTes that i would survive another cycle, and the thirteen complementary days were passed with feasts, sacrifices and bac- chanalS.
 In the temple of Huitzilipochtli therS was to be a gladiatorial combat, whic. was nothing less than q sacrifice. Inc six ministers of the ceremony were at hand. Topiltzin, the chief among them clad in a crimson vestrncnt, with { crown of vari-colored feathers. was per forming the duties that preceded Q sac rifice to the god, and tho others, with white robes bordcred with black, thelr faces hideous with soaber pig1non5 and mouths painted white, assisted him. crowd filled the stone walls of the tenn ple to witness the spectacle. surging with irnpatience about the temalcad tor round stone platform, eight feet high) where the combat was to take place.
 The victim, a prisoner of war, is brought in. Armed with only short spear and shield, he is placed upon the temalcatl, tied by one fO0t and con fronted by an Aztec warrior, fully armed. The fat nOs5rils Of the victim are distended, his black eyes burn with desperation; his coarse, black hair strargles about his face, and his thick purple lips quiver as he views the we'll armed soldier before him.
 At word they fall to the fray. The spears clash, and they fight like de- nons-the victim with the desperation of certain death, the soldier to uphold his valor among his comrades.
 Suddenly, realizing how unequal the contest, and that his fate is scaled, whatever the outcome of that battle, the prisoner throws away his shield and spear. and presents his breast to the soldiers weapon. A pause, a blow. and the victim falls heavily to the stone.
 In trice the priests, with frenzied shouts. and hair streaming about their demoniacal faces, are upon the tenal- catl, and have borne the dyingman to a block of green jasper, on whose convex surface they throw him. This is the sacrifcial stone, and TOpiltzin, who now takes the name of the god to whom he sacrifices, opens the breast of his vic tim. tears out his heart and offers it, still palpitating, to the sun.
 Then the bleeding trophy is placed in the hollow mouth of the idol of Huit- zilipochth, and the lips of the statue daubed with blood The dead man is decapitated and his head deposited ir the Tzompati, an ossuary where the skulls of sacrificed prisoners of war are set into the walls; the soldier claims the body for his own, and bears it away fol the deIcctation of himself and his an thropophagical comrades.
 The Aztec annals that come down tC us are glutted with scenes like this.
