A Curious Indian custom,

In the original settlements in British
Columbia peculiar institution occa
stoned gala times for the red men now
and then. This was the s.potlatch " a
thing to rs so foreign, even in the i'm
pulse of which it is begotten, that we
have no word or phrase to give its mean
ing. 1t is feast and merrymaking at
the expense of some man who has earned
or saved what he deems considerable
wealth, and who desires to distribute
every iota of it at once in edibles and
drinkables among the people of his tribe
or village. He does this because he as
pires to chieftainship or merely for the
credit of a ''potlatch"-a high distinc-
ton. Indians have been known to
throw away such sum of money that
their ''potlatch" has been given in a
huge she'd built for the feast, and
blankets and ornaments have been dis
tributed in addition to the feast.-Julian
Ralph in Harper's.

Some folks are poking fun at the
CHRONICLE reporter for saying that the
grounds around the Joles mansion were
now beautified by the presence of ga
pair OF peacocks-a male and female. -
Now really all the CHRONICLE did was to
follow very common usage of the word,
as any one may see by consulting Web
ster, and apply it to the species instead
OF the sex. However the blunder is not
half SO bad as that made by a country
man OF the writer who was at one time,
and may be yet an alderman for one of
the wards of New York City. At a
meeting of the council question came
up for beautifying Central Park when a
Mr.. Murphy arose and said: 'Misther
President am jist afther payin' visit
to Yurrip an whin there 1 spint some
time in the city of Venice where I WIS
,mightily taken with the beautiful pon-
-dolias that they hiv on the bay and
move you sur that we send over for a
dozen of them an put them in the Gin
tral Park lakes" Before the motion was
put our friend arose and said, 81 would
loike to AK me frind Murphy how much
these gondilias would be likely to cost :"
Mr.. Murphy replied that he though
they could be laid down in New York
for about 5000 a piece. ''In that case"
replied the Irishman 1 objict to spindin'
so much money on thin and L move as
an amindment that we send for couple
OF them, male and female, and let

what a Baby Did IN One Hou,


Uncle Will, the good natured bachelor
OF the family, was left in charge of the
baby one day while every one else was
out, and out of curiosity he made a list
of what the baby did in one hour. Here
it is:
Yelled fifteen minutes without taking
breath. uncle Will declares solemnly
that this is true statement.)
Pulled out enough hair from his uncle's
head and whiskers to stuff sofa pillow.
Crooked the wall paper as high as he
could reach with the poker.
Broke stereoscope by sitting down
on it.
Swallowed six buttons and a good
part of spool of thread
Emptied the contents of his mothers
workbasket down the furnace register.
Tried to squeeze the head of the cat
into a tin cup, and was scratched badly
in the attempt.
Knocked the head off of a fine wax
doll belonging to his older sister by try
ing to drive a tack into a toy wagon
with it.
Fell off the edge Of the whatnot and
brought down with him two costly vases
which were ruined.
broke Two paneS or window glass with
cane which uncle let him have
Fell into the coalhod and spoiled his
new white dress.
Set fire to the carpet while uncle was
out of the room hunting up something to
amuse him.
Crawled under the bed and refused to
come out unless uncle would give him
the molasses jug.
Got twisted into the rungs of a chair
which had to be broken to get him out.
Poured a pitcher of water into his
mothers best shoes.
Finally, when he saw his mother COM
ing, he ran out to the porch and tumbled
off the steps, making his nose bleed and
tearing hole foot square in his Dress
And yet Uncle Will thinks that boy
will make something yet.-Y Youths Com

An Auburn business man and \ friend
were out hunting the other day. A big
hawk flew over their heads and thew
blazed away at him. The shot broke
the birds wing and he came to the
ground, alighting on his back. He was
unable to turn over and get upon his
feet, but was lively just the same, as the
Auburn hunters found before they sue
ceeded in killing him.
The business man placed the ramrod
of his gun in the hawks big, grasping
claws, all of which straightaway closed,
like the jaws of an enraged mud turtle
swapping at stick in the hands of mis-
chievous boy. With the claws thus
taken care Of the business mans friend
proceeded to wiring the birds neck. In
the earlier stages Of the operation the
harder the friend worked the tighter
would the hawk grasp the iron ramrod
and flap its wings
All this was fun for the hunters, who
after a long struggle declared them
selves winners of the scrap. They had
hardly so proclaimed when the bird got
his wind, and leaving the ramrod vi
ciously attacked his prosecutors.
As fate would have it, the business
mans friend. being nearest, was the first
to catch it. The hawk lighted on his
wrist, and the way he stuck there was a
caution. One claw sunk deep into the
hunters wrist, and he called loud and
long for mercy.
The business man, seeing that some
thing must be done at the risk of his
life, finally went to his friends rescue.
He got a good hold on the sunken claw.
braced his feet against a rock, and was
successful in pulling it out. AS the
claw came out, the hawk fell back and
in moment was still in death. They
found that the birds wings measured
three feet and ten inches from tip to tip.

Home Made Dolls Cheaper.

A doll with real hair is the desire of
most small girls. AS rule, only the
expensive varieties of dolls are so en-
dowed. But, suggests close shop
per, 81 buy seventy five cent doll, for
which get a good kid body with bisque
arms and feet; and then at some small
hairdressers get the jute curls replaced
with wig of real hair at much less ex-
pense than could buy the doll thus en-
dowed in the first place."-New York

How Aneient. squared the circle.

The rule given by Ahmes requires that
the diameter of circle shall be short
ened by one-ninth, anG square erected
upon this shortened line. The area of
such a square approximates the area of
the circle, but, of course, is not exact,
and Is not even as close a result as that
at which other geometricians have ar
rived.
The Babylonians, who were also great
mathematicians, had a solution, to which
reference in the Talmud has been
traced. The Babylonian method, how
ever, was not quadrature, but recti-
fication of the circumference.-All the

Giving Wood a Good Color.

Many hard woods of superior color
and grain may be greatly improved BY
treatment. The granting or marking of
the wood is always beautiful feature,
and it can be greatly improved and ac-
centuated, if faint, by giving the entire
piece one coat of raw oil, and then with
camefs hair brush going over the vari-
GUS lines and veinings several times.
Each coat increases the color. A slight
coat of varnish will help to- keep the
color.-New York Tribune.

The CHRONICLE believes that Governor
Mckinley spoke the sentiments of the
vast majority of all classes and political
creeds west of the Mississippi when he
said: "There is one thing that they all
might as well make up their minds to

free when it comes from the sleeps

on our backs. They cannot have wool
come into their factories in New Eng

Something About Gingerbread.

We should be greatly surprised to
see our everyday bread come to our
tables tied with yellow and green
ribbons or decorated with golden
stars, but there was a time in En-
gland when so simple a thing as
gingerbread was treated in much
more extraordinary way. In it's
earlier form gingerbread was simply
bread paste, with ginger and sweet
ening added. A very crude magma
tion went to work at it, and the
market-places were crowded with
gingerbread kings and queens, saints
and ROSTERS, adorned with gilt
crowns and scepters, with halos,
wings, and tails.

DISPATCHES from Europe accum-
ulate evidence that the cholera is
spreading rapidly and causing a panic
among the people of Southeastern
Russia. The terrible disease seems
to have started on its western march
from Turkestan and Khorassan, a
province of Northeastern Persia,
where it is raging with frightful
fatality. Thence, owing to lax quar-.
antine regulations, it spread across
the Caspian to Baku, the great
petroleum shipping port, where the
utmost CONSERVATION prevails owing
to its alarming ravages The Trans
Caspian railway has served as a
medium for carrying the contagion
from Russia In Asia, and there Is now
no question that 1t has gained a
lodgment In European Russia. Not
withstanding the precautions taken
at Tihis, Sebastopol, and at the
numerous frontier towns it found no
difficulty In passing the barriers, and
there is now no question that it is
spreading In eastern Russia, as it has
appeared at Tzaritzin, on the Volga,
and other places, in which case the
famine-stricken districts will now be
afflicted with a fresh horror. 1t is
even reported that the disease has
made its appearance at Brindisi, on
the heel of the Italian boot. This
report, however, needs confirmation.
Meanwhile there can be no doubt that
Eastern Russia is afflicted with genu-
inc Asiatic cholera of the malignant
type in spite of the efforts OF the
Russian Government TO stamp it out
with cordons of soldiers instead of
sanitary measures.
