Indian

The annals of no country can show
any savage foe SO formidable for his
numbers to trained regular troops of the
white race as the American Indian. The
tales of the sepoy rebellion, replete as
they are with heroic achievements of
British soldiers, read like absurd fairy
tales to Indian fighters of our army.
The spectacle, repeated again and again,
of a score or so of these E~nglishmen
riding through as many thousands of
opposing sepoys, disciplined and thor
oughly supplied with the best of fire
arms, would be a very novel n to
those accustomed to the temper of the
savage of our own continent.
Had Captain Jack, or Joseph, or Geron,
imo, with such warriors as they led,
been the sort of foes to attack the Eng
lish power in India, the history of Delhi
and Lucknow would have been written
in far darker characters on the pages Of
English history. Self reliant, intelligent,
fierce in battle, inimitable horsemen,
armed with the modern rife, our own
Indians have often waged successful
battle with regular troops unsurpassed
in quality and far outnumbering them.
1t is doubtful if even the Cossack or
Arab can be compared with them in
partisan warfare .-Harper's Weekly.

How Blood Was Secured.

An anecdote is going the rounds con-
corning the in which a well
known leading actor supplied the acct
dental absence of a necessary item of
makeup" He was playing Macbeth,
and when he came to the murder scene
he asked in vain for the blood with
which he had intended to imbrue his
hands. After abusing the property man
roundly for his neglect, the actor, struck
with a happy thought, suddenly hit that
functionary on the nose, SO that a good
supply of crimson fluid was obtained,
and in this the actor bathed his palms.
1t is said that after the performance
there was a realistic" conflict between
the pro" and the property man in
which more 'claret" was tapped
this time not for stage purposes.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

Salvation Army Shelters in London,

SalNdLIOn army SnclCerS IN l-OnOOn
The Salvation Army shelters make no
claim to anything beyond decent clean
illness and comfort. Outside, the street
lamps burn dimly through the fog. 1t
is bright and light within. Outside, the
wind cuts pitilessly through the thin
garments. The Shelter is always warm.
Outside, the clothing bears too often the
mark of the gutter mud. 1t is always
possible to "wash and be clean" within,
for hot water and soap and towels are
for use of the inmates without extra
charge.
The women desiring lodgings may
come in as early in the afternoon as
they will. Many do come early and sit
about and mend their tatters and gossip
a bit, taking their bowl of soup or mug
of cocoa with as much true neighborli-
ness as enters in other hospitable quar-
tiers into the aesthetics of afternoon tea.
Rarely is there heard, either in the
Women's or Mems Shelter, the sound of
quarrels or ribald talk. Those in charge
report but little difficulty in governing
an element hat in the streets and alleys
would be almost beyond control.
The warm room, the comfortable meal,
the sense of shelter and respite from
wandering, all have their quieting
influence. And when we add that every
evening the Shelters are made the
centers of an active religious meeting,
we realize that the inmates are not left
to the depression or the excitement OF
their own discouraged thOughts.-Mary
Lowe Dickinson in Harper's Bazaar.

A Barber and Poet.

Jasmin, the Gascon poet, who was also
a barber, had many a strange adventure
arising from the i~ncongruity Of his two
professions.
AT one time, when he was visiting the
mayor Of a French town, and had prom
ised to give an informal recitation to the
townspeople, the hour arrived and his
host did not appear. Several important
personages assembled to accompany
them to the hall, but the mayor re-
manned invisible, busted with his toilet.
Finally, fearing the impotence of his
guests, he opened the door of his cham
Der to apologize, and showed his face
covered with lather.
Just a moment" said he; Il am fin
ishing my shaving"
"Oh," said Jasmin, "let me help YOU
He at once DOTTED his coat, gave a fin
ishing touch to the razor and shaved the
mayor in a twinkling, with what he
called his hand of velvet" In a few
minutes he was in the hall receiving tn
multuous applause for his splendid reel
tations. -Youth's Companion.

The Negro's Humor.

Among the old time negroes in middle
Georgia was much Of a humor very in
teresting. Their speech, by constant
contact with the white mans, which it
sought to initiate, had a curtness and
vivacity never heard on large seaboard
and river plantations. In the lightness
of the negro's heart, with an imagina-
ton that lever sought to be cprbed, his
words and his department often had a
fun as racy as any lover of that article
reasonably could wish to see. Even his
complainings, oftener than otherwise,
were put forth with a resentment so
peculiar as to provoke as well laughter
as sympathy. Witness the following
anecdOte of the return to his old master,
not very long ago, of n of his former
slaves after having served another per-
son for a year:
"Why, Jim, how happens it that you
q1it Perkins, asked the gentleman.
well, now, Marse Jack, / gwine up
en- tell you jes' how It is. Iyuck fer dab
man all las year, and l wuck hard, en- |

he thoo wild dat job, he gin Aladdin up,

what was a-comin to me! En- so | makes

Then he joined heartily in the laugh
raised by what had just occurred to him
as being a good practical joke.-Colonel
Richard NJ. Johnston in Century.

The American Apple in Europe.

Apples form a considerable part of our
exports to Europe. They command high
err prices, proportionately, than any other
American fruit. Those which can be
bought here for ten dollars a barrel sell
for twenty-five dollars on the other side.
A year ago Prince Bismarck paid thirty
dollars for a barrel Of Newtown pippins
which would nave sold here for fourteen
dollars. Europeans acknowledge that
in apples and several other things the
United States cannot be equaled.-New

A Warning as to Flower Beds.

Against II thing let me warn the
reader. and that is the indiscriminate
use of formal foliage or flower beds on
most lawns. They are apt to lend a gar
ish and vulgar air to the place. Close
to the house you may sometimes use one
or two of these beds, but their bright
red and yellow colors should be set a
little on q side and not allowed to
glare at one too much. l respect the
universal delight in rich color, but all
formal patches of color should be used
carefully and in proper relations to the
whole picture. Samuel Parsons, Jr., in

Every Animal Is Fond of bananas.

The leaves Of the banana, often six
feet long and two feet wide, are tender,
and the strong winds of the tropics soon
tear them in strips, thereby adding to
their grace and beauty. The banana Is
a fruit that beast and bird, as well as
man, are fond of, and the owner, when
he lives in a sparsely settled country,
must protect his plantation by a fence of
some thorny plant-Goldthwaite's Geo

A WOMAN TRAIN DISPATCHER.

Miss Eta j. Spencer is the only
woman train dispatcher who has ever
attained proficiency and experience
sufficient TO warrant being taken into
membership of tho Train Di.pachers'
Association of America. The associa-
ton members are very proud of their
only woman member, and have en-
deavored TO secure her presence at
their annual meetings ever since .ha
joined their ranks in December, 1889.
Miss Spencer dispatches trains on the
Providence division of the New Lon
don Northern Railroad, at Providence,
r. /. She is a 1rst-class teegrapher,
as well as an experienced dispatcher,
The division over which she SO sue-
cessfully prcsides is single track,
and is considered one of the most
difficult roads to dispatch for.
Previous to 1882 Miss Spencer as
sisted In the position Of dispatcher;
but when; on losing the chief; Super
intendent Palmer began looking about
for a new dispatcher fitted for the
position, she was installed as chief
dispatcher. 1t is said in railroad
circles that during the Rhode Island
Far each autumn, When trains are
running from Providence to the fair
grounds Mt Cranston every fifteen
minutes, here is not a similar piece

the regular train service delayed or in
convenienced. - New Orleans Times

WOMEN DRUGGISTS.

A number of women arc engaged in
the retail drug business in the United
States; many of them as proprietors,
others as clerks Some have regularly
taken and satisfactorily passed through
the courses of study prescribed by our
colleges of pharmacy, and fulfilled all
legal obligations by registering before
state boards of pharmacy. Oilers, in
some states, received registration as
pharmacists upon passage of tho phar-
macy law from the fact that they had
been in business n sufficient number
of years prior TO the enactment to per-
nit of this registration.
There have been numerous argyll
ments for and against the advisability
of women entering this profession,
but as a rule, the objections are of a
narrow nature and based upon one
sided and bigoted prejudice. There is
no inherent reason for denying to wo-
man the right TO enter pharmacy. She
is nea'. careful aud ambitious, as a
rue, when she undertakes the acquisi-
tioa of professional training. Sine
could, and does, make an excellent
prescription clerk and behind the sales
counter is without roproach. Some

scriptions for potent remedies for
the treatment of serious aflec-
tions, and it is argued that the female
portion of the community will not
patronizo the drug store in " lich a
woman is plsced to wait upon them.
We say that all other things being
equal, sex should be no bar to wo-
mans entrance into the profession.
and in fact she often has many things
in her favor to place her above the
standard of some male drug clerks.
She does not wish so many nights
fl, is not dissipatcd, is more tractabIe,
and in other particulars is perhaps
superior to her brother clerk = Phar-
