AN OLO-TIME INDIAN TERROR.
An Aged Indian Warrior Who for Ten Years TerrOrized the Settlers of Arizona

An Aged Indian Warrior Who for Ten
 Years TerrOrized the Settlers of Arizona.
 They were talking about the Indian outbreak, says the New York Her ald, when one of the party who had been for many years resident of Ari- zona Territory, remarked:
 ''Why, down in Arizona we lived for fifteen years in state of terror on ac- count of a marauding band of Apaches that had things pretty much their own way all this time, in spite of all that the Government troops could do to keep them in check.
 T call to mind particularly Old Vie torio. There was a warrior for you. He commanded a band of some two hundred bucks. They were the Chira- cahua Apaches, and the murders, rob- berries and depredations committed by that band during those ten years in which they were on the warpath are al- most incredible.
 ''0ld Victoria was nearly ninety years of age whom the troubles began. He ruled those redskins with rod of iron in spite of his years. And he was para lyzed, too, completely paralyzed. He was only able to use his left arm lit tie. just enough to lift cigarette to his mouth.
 ''ie was constantly in the saddle, and had to be strapped on like bale of goods. His band had the finest ponies to be found anywhere. They would cO177o%1rsooc f 701o ovo1 ,1, less than twentyfour hours you would hear of them at some place one hun dred miles distant. All throughout Southern Arizona and Northern Mexico Old Victoria continued his raids until the settlers finally gave up in despair. The Government troops appeared to be utterly Powerless in the matter.
 "Why, that band of redskins would sometimes plunder a wagon train right under the noses of the troopers, and by the time the latter were mounted and ready to start in pursuit, they would be out of sight. The next day, perhaps, the wires would tell of some fresh depreciation committed by the same hand in a section of the country over one hundred miles away.
 ''This old war dog, however, was finally rounded up and shot. He died in the saddle, fighting to the last, and his band, what was left of it, dispersed. Of course the settlers heard of it and were delighted. Dismay followed, however, when Conchise took the field. This Indian ran things pretty much the same way for five years, and then came Old Geronimo

THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.

They Have Been ChriStihnized and Civil ized Main y by American Missionaries.
 It is 8 fact that the American mis- sionaries in the Caroline islands are dis criminated against by the Spanish authorities. h 1852 the American Board of Foreign Missions sent out several missionaries to Christianize the islands of this section of the Pacific ocean, at that time unclaimed by any foreign state and but little known eX- cept to hardy New England whaling sailors, who have found in them a source of supplies for their ships dur ing their long cruises in hunting whales from Cape Horn to the Arctic ocean.
 These missionaries, after many strug- gles against the heathenism of the natives of the islands, at last gained a foothold and then steadily advanced, until now the entire islands hereabout may be truly said to be as thoroughly Christianized (not civilizedl as any of the countries inhabited by the white race, writes a New York Times corre- spondent. The work of these mission aries has been almost wonderful They have built churches and schools, have reduced the native dialect to writing and instructed the children in books printed in the native tongue; induced the natives to live in villages and re- spect one another's rights and prop erty; have raised the standard of morality and established the binding marriage ceremony, and have educated the natives so that the rudimentary branches are well known by the mass of the people, and the English language has become almost as much used as the native tongues.
 In return for all this the love of the natives for their missionary friends is very great. They allow themselves to be governed and directed by the mis- sionaries without comment, looking up to them as being always right and acknowledging the authority of mis- SiGnaries above all others

THE SAMOVAR.
Why the Russian TeallettIe Is So Much
 Su erior to Ours.

Why the Russian TeaEettie Is So Much
 Su erior to Ours.
 A samovar, the distinctively Russian utensil for heating water to make tea, when in brass or niclzle. of small size, b'.t large enough for family use, costs sixteen dollars. In Russia the sGmovar is as common a household utensil as is our teakettle. The superiority of the sanovar over our teal1ettle i5 due to the greater rapidity with which water is heated in it, says the New York Trib- lme. A little brand Of charcoal is started in the section in the center ce5ignated for this purpose, and tho water around it is heated much more rapidly than it can be in the teakettle, exposed to the fire only at the bottom; bat if the mistress of the house could see that the tealettle is freshly filled, and would use the water at the moment it bells, as delicious tea could be made with a teallettle as with a samovar. The Russian lady, it must be remem- Ec1ed, docs not intrust the important part of the tea making, the boiling of the water, 10 a servant. She hes this done before her in samovar, and thus ensures the perfection Of her tea. She is, therefore. not called upon to waste words and patience with a domestic, who in answer to your inquiries Gs to whether the kettle is boiling" invari- ably replies: Tt have boiled" As though water that had once been boiled was. therefore, fit for tea making, even II 1t has been reduced to lUkewarm temperature since! No amount of in struction will ever eradicate from the mind of the average servant the idea tl2t water that hes boiled is therefore iit for tea: and that you arc over-fa5tidi- ous to require that it shall be boiling at the time the tea is made, and that it should not have. been boiled before

4 Good Story About Three EaZoeless Jus
 tiees Of the Peace.
 A good story is told by the New Yorl Sun of the adventure of three polio justices and a detective employed b one of the societies whose operation are intended to brace up the law. ] seems that shortly before the holida season began man who had bee active in politics for many years died leaving his family almost wholly un provided for, His home had been hand somely furnished, and the widow. com Delled to move into more economic. quarters, determined to sell the heavie articles of furniture. Three member. of the board of police justices took ; hand ia the sale. Among other device. for helping their friends widow was ; raffle for her grand piano. The jus 5ices organized the friendly enterprise promoted the sale of tickets, and whc, sum representing the value of severa such pianos had been gathered in, the. superintended the drawing.
 This took place one evening in liar lem store. That was where the deteci we came in, though some people ar bold enough to say that it was Com ,tock himself. At all events, th guardian of morality, whatever h. name, thought he saw a chance for ; 5rand coup, and accordingly descendet lpon the store, made his way throue the interested crowd, and formally al rested the three justices for conductir lottery. The detective might hav )een a martyr to his zeal if blank won ierInent had not paralyzed the spe< 5ators and before indignation could g. sert itself the justices had mastered u situation. A police justice is author -zed to hold court at any place and tim that occasion may require. The de ,ective had forgotten this, but the thre. justices hadn't, and one of them havil aounted table, opened court and sun. 1oned his colleagues to the bar to plea 0O the charge laid against them.
 Then the spectators began to sec f.: n the episode, and when they laughe 5he detective nervously tried to pass |. proceedings off as a iolke-that is, tb rial part. He insisted on the arccs nd the justice on the bench (table) i .isted that he should swear in his ey .ence. This done, the prisoners mac leir defense, and the presiding justlc .romptly discharged them. Then L ,ot down, another justice climbed upc le table and reopened court, called t. ase of the justice who had lately bee residing, heard evidence and defens, nd discharged the prisoner. Then tl rawing for the widows piano was rc dmed.

BOTH SEXES DRESS ALIKE.
Little in Attire to Distinguish Annam Men
 from V7omen-AEirrOrs in the Hat.

Little m AtO!re to Distinguish Annam Men
 from Eomen-MirrOrs in the Hat. At Annam, an empire occupying the eastern portion of the Indo-Chinese pen insula, with population of 15,0OO, 900, ! men and women wear their hair in the same way and dress almost alike, says the St. Louis GlObe-Democrat. Like the man, the woman wears the trlrban, long tunic, wide, loose trousers and a bright sash, the ends falling below the knees. The physiognomy is almost the same, as the men are beardless and have their hair done up like the women.
 The only clew to distinguish them is the earrings and finger rings worn by women only. The earrings are like double shirt studs, and among the lower orders are of colored glass.
 The wives and daughters of mandarins alone are allowed to wear gold jewelry. The rings are of spiral wire, fitting tight and standing out to some height. Some women of the upper class wear also necklaces of strings of gold or sil- yer beads.
 The hat of the woman is monumental. IL IS 1IIAe d 1aTSe UdIICl CONc1s GIIcC- quarters of yard in diameter. Six or seven silk cords as thick as a quill are fastened on each side, and when worn fall down below the waist.
 Where the ends are fastened to the hat on each side is a huge black or brown silk tassel, Some of these hats are artistically made of carefully se- lected palm leaves and lined with neatly plaited flag leaves. These are expen- sive, especially when they have chiseled silver clasps at the tassels.
 Many women fasten little round mirror in the hat, before which they arrange their turban when they go to town. The hat is the article most prized by the stylish ladies, and often costs ten and fifteen dollars;

Curiositics Of t,a Ccnsus.

A curious fact in statistics of popula- tion is the greater number of peop1, whose age is expressed in decinals C. .cn. For instance, in the last census c5 Rhode Island there were more thar twice as many people 50 years old as
 here were 49. So, again, there have acen found iii certain area 2,0Gj col )rcd people G9 years old, 1900 T anG md 19,000 Q. The fact is 9 striking illustration of the general fondnc33 of }eople for round numbers. A man wko $ 59 or G1 years of age is quite apt to "ail himself 60, and in a similar case a N oman will call herself 70 or 50.
