This description Of the natives as they
appeared to the English colonists ia
Maryland was written in 1888:
They are very proper tall men Of per.
son; swarthy by nature, but much more
by art; painting themselves with colours
in oyle, like a darke red, which they doe
to keep the gnatts of. AS for their faces
they have other colours at times, as blew
from the nose upward and red down
ward; somewhat eontrariwise, in great
yarietie and in very gastly manner.
They have no boards till they come to
be very old, and therefore draw from
each side of their mouthes lines to their
cares to represent a beard. Their ap-
parell generally is deere skyns and some
furre, which they wear like loose man
tel; and yet under this, about their
middle, all women and men, at mans
estayte, were rounde aprons Of skyns,
which keeps them decently covered, 80
that, without any offense to chast eyes,
We may converse with them.
All the rest Of their bodies are naked
and at times some of the youngest sort
of both men aud women have just moth
ing to cover them. The natural wit of
this nation is very quick and will con-
ceiye a thing very readily. They exoell
in smell and taste and have far sharper
sight than we. If these people were
once Christians las by some signs we
have reason to think nothing hinders Il
but want of language), it would be a
right yirtuous and renowned nation.

The most powerful electric locomo.
hves yet used are two of the London
Underground railway. Each locomo-
tive, according to description of Mr..
Alexander Siemens, carries two motors
and the use Of all gearing is obviated by
winding the arInatures of the motors on
the axles of the locomotive wheels.
Tests Of the four motors before they
were fitted to their places gave from
forty to fifty horsepower each for three
Of them-the other being much more
powerful-and efticiencies Of about 30 10
o. per cent.
Each locomotive fully equipped weighs
lS1S tons, and its unloaded train weighs
twenty-one tons, a full load being ninety
six passengers, The average power of
each locomotive requires current of
not more than fifty amperes, although
in starting as much as l4O amperes must
be had.-Ohio State Journal.

u was one Of the days when the wind
blows suddenly and sharply around the
corners, when the dust whirls in clouds
and the air has hard, cold dampness
which goes straight through any coat
except a fur one. Away up town on
one OF the western avenues where cheap
shops are kept on the ground floor OF
cheap flat houses woman stood by a
window with a baby in her arms. Her
dress was shabby and SO thin that the
wind went through it as through a sieve.
The baby had wooden frock aud a
worted coat and cap, and seemed TO be
warm enough as he burrowed upon the
womans shoulder and dug his sprawl
ing little fingers into her eyes.
In the shop window were displayed
two kinds Of garments. On one side
were wOmen's woolen pstticoats and all
kinds Of heavy cotton underclothing.

Finding Lost BaggaRo,

1t was on the Stormy division Of the
G. d. and Q. it happened, when Superin-
tendent Dugan's jurisdiction embraced
that division. The east bound passen-
/ ger train, then called the Cannon Ball,
had on board five corpses, through
from Denver, in charge of the train
baggage man. 1t was in June, and the
weather was hot. The baggage man find
ing the atmosphere in the baggage car be
coming undesirable moved three boxes
containing a corpse each to the plat
form Of his car outside, one ON top Of
the other.
As the train was nearing Ottumwa,
the baggage man upon looking out was
Mortified TO discover one of the boxes
missing. SurInising that one Of the boxes
had slid of in rounding a curve, owing
to the high rate of speed the train had
been running, he wired Superintendent
Dugan Immediately upon arrival Of the
train at Ottumwa, apprising him of the
loss. Dugan wired the section foreman
at Ottumwa as follows:
Patrick McGann-Look for corpse
lost off Cannon Ball three miles west of
| OttumWa ana report CONDITION OF same
when found"
Patrick Immediately started out with
the section gang, and found the box in
tact and brought the same to Ottumwa.
It was seldom that Patrick received or
ders direct from the superintendent, the
roadmaster being his immediate supe-
rior. Consequently Patrick concluded
the time to win promotion had arrived,
and after reading Dugsn's telegram over
for the twentieth time wired his super
| intendent as follows:
"Mishter Doogun-I hey found the
koropss, and the koropse was ded.n

Every prosperous club has its loving
cup, but how many Of the guests who
see it gracing the banquet know its
origin or the graceful ceremonial which
should be observed in drinking from it:
The cup should have two handles and a
cover, and is handed to the principal
guest as the toasts begin. The guest
takes il by both handles, and standing
turns to the person nearest, who also
stands, and both bow. Then, while the
second guest removes the lid, the first
enc drinks, and with another bow passes
the cup to his neighbor, who replaces
the lid and presents it in turn to the
next guest, and so the ceremony is re-
peated.
In the old days of chivalry and of
treachery, as man while drinking
from the two handled cup was prac-
tically defenseless, his companion was
required to remove the cover with his
sword hand that ne might not take adj
vantage Of the other. 1t is a very pretty
ceremony when gracefully performed

When the West Indies were first dis
covered hogs were put on some of the
islands; these in time increased Won
derfully, so as to become vast herds, af.
fording a supply of fresh meat to the
mariner sick of the scurvy. In Guiana,
however, these animals never became
common, but ON the contrary required
the greatest of care to preserve them
from the vampires. Domestic animals
like man, sleep at night, and here the
bats have the advantage of them, while
the wild quadrupeds of the forest range
and feed at the same time as their san.
culinary enemy. Hence it has followed
that peccaries roam securely and are
quite free from the vampires, while theii
domesticated cousins must be housed
and caged.-Longman's Magazine.
