SIGN LANGUAGE OF THE INDIANS.

Make a letter A with your hands
and lock the ends of your fingers,
that is a tepee, or tent. Keep your
hands in that position, and bend
them down so that your fingers
point away from you; that's a house,
and a very good one too, because it
shows how the logs are interlocked
at the corners of the sort of houses
one sees on the frontier. If you want
to say you saw something, point to
your eyes. To say that you heard
something, point to your ears. To
say you slept or are sleepy, put up
one hand with the palm side
towards your head. and bend your
head as If you were going to lay it
on that hand. To say that you saw
some one who was beautiful, put
your face between the thumb and
fingers of one hand, and draw your
hand softly down from your forehead
to your chin. A faint smirk or smile
made at the same time greatly helps
this sign. Ii the beauty you tell
about was a woman, make believe
take hold of a mass of hair on the
right side of your head, and follow
it down past the shoulder with your
hand, as you see women do when
they dress their hair These signs
for seeing, hearing, sleep, beauty and
women are exactly the same as those
used by George L. Fox, the famous
clown, when he played Humpty
Dumpty. | have no doubt that
Grimaldi, the great English clown,
also used them, for they are the nat
ural motions for expressing those
terms.
Did you ever notice how the paws
of small animals are curled in when
they are dead? That is the sign for
dead" or died" Hold one hand
out with the fingers bent towards
the thumb to make the sign. Bnt
if you would say some one was killed,
hold out a fist with the knuckles
away from you, and move the wrist
slowly so as to force the knuckles
down as if the person was struck
down. To tell about child, hold
your hand as far from the ground as
it's head would reach. Put finger
up to either side of the head to say
Cow to say deer" put all your
fingers like branching horns. But
another way to tell about deer is
to initiate his Looping with one OF
your hands. To tell of snake, wig
gle one finger in the air as snake
would move on the ground. That
sign is the name for two tribes of In
dams. The sign for Sioux is to
make believe cut your throat with
one finger; for a Blackfoot, point to
your foot for a Blood, wi pc your
finger across your mouth; for a
white man, rub your hand across
your forehead to show how white
your foreheads are; for a Piegan, rub
one cheek.
The sign for water is to make a
scoop of your hand and put it to
your mouth as you would if you
were drinking at a stream. To tell
of lake make that sign, and spread
out your hands to cover big space.
To tell of river, make the water
sign, and then trace the meandering
course of river with your finger.
But the sign for whiskey is made by
doubling up one fist and drinking
out of the top as if it were a bottle.
If you do that and make believe to
reel a little, you will describe tipsy
man. Nearly all signs in the Ian
guage are made with the right hand.

YOU should use Dr. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy to purify your blood. Few peo-

Every patriotic American loves the
jingling tune of Yankee Doodle"
but no one seems to know just how
or when it first began to be used.
1t is ever so much older than the
Declare ton of independence, and is
said to have been originally written
"Rejoice, o Slavel" or Let the
Slave rejoice" The Greek words
certainly sound pronounced English
fashion, enough like yankee Doc
dle' to make this belief a reasonable
one.
All sorts of queer verses have been
sung to the jumping, frolicsome tune,
and in the time OF King Charles l.
number of doggerel verses which
ridiculed Crom we'll were sung to it
The opening verse,
''Nankee Doole came to town
Upon a kentish pony;
He stuck feather in his hat,
And called him macarOni,"
is almost the same as one of those
still sung to the national air.
Besides, this, an old English
nursery rhyme also claims the tune,
and this was a great favOrite with
the little ones. There was some
thing altogether delightful IN the
rapid jingle:
Lucy Lockett lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it:
Not bit of money in it.,
Only binding round it,
Pockets in those days were put on
outside of the dress, or this accident
could not have happened. Let US
hope that Miss Lockett was more
careful after this experience, and that
she finally had "a bit of money in it"
too. The tune used to be called
Kitty Fishers Jig" and this Kitty
was a real person and famous
beauty in the reign of Charles II.
1t is a much-disputed tune, and has
been claimed for France and Spain,
while in Holland it is said that when
the laborers were paid for their work
''as much buttermilk as they could
drink and a tenth of the grain, they
sang, to the air of Yankee Doodle"
Yankee dude1, doodle down,
Diddle, dudel lanther.
Yanke biver. boover, bOwn,

1t came to America through Eng
land, and was given as a national
air by a British surgeon in the
French and Indian war. This was
more than twenty years before the
Revolution, and compared with the

The Sad Part of 1t.

A good soul in Ohio absolutely wor-
ships Dickens, even going so far as burn
ing a candle before his portrait. She
reads nothing but Dickens, and when he
came here to read she wrote to inquire
whether he'd visit the west Receiving
a reply in Dickens own handwriting,
her joy knew no bounds. Her hero could
not leave the east, therefore she deter
mined to goto New York.
Jones, the husband, demurred, but
upon being Weakened one night with the
threat that if he did not give her money
to travel like a Christian, she would
walk, Jones succumbed. Mrs. Jones
went to New York, had a private inter
view with Dickens, attended his read
ings, and returned home more rabid than
ever.
When the news came of Dickens
death Mrs. Jones was inconsolable. Not
long after Mrs. Jones sister died. but
owing to the illness OF this sisters hus-
band, whom she was obliged to nurse,
i, Mrs. Jones could not attend the funeral
When the rest of her family returned
they found Mrs. Jones reading "Pick-
wick" to the sick and bereaved man. AS
relative approached the bed, Mrs
Jones burst into tears, exclaiming: ssThe
saddest part of it all is to think that
dear Sarah died before l had finished
reading Martin Chuzzlewit' to her; and
now she'll never, never know how it

How to Roll an Umbrella.

Certainly, but you don't need any"
said salesman in Chapel street store
recently to a customer who had just
bought an umbrella, and who had asked
for rubber ring.
"But want to keep the ends of the
<ibs from spreading when the umbrella
is rolled up" and the customer held up
for inspection the umbrella he had just
rolled.
LET me show you," said the sales
man, as he unfastened the band and
shook out the folds. Grasping the stick
so that his right hand held the ends of
the ribs close to the wood, he began roll
ing the silk in the curve of his left hand.
Whenever he gave the umbrella turn
he kept the ribs in their original posi-
ton, and when the rolling was complete
he held up the umbrella and showed that
the metal tips pressed as closely to the
stick as if riveted in place.-New Haven

slips THAT Always Raise a Laugh


To few of us is it given never to make
slip of the tongue On the contrary,
most people have some unpleasant mem
ory or other of some dreadful mistake
they have fallen into, and even although
years may have passed since the fatal
moment when their lips betrayed them,
they are still unable to recall the cir
cumstances without again experiencing
the agony and their cheeks displaying
the blush which followed upon the first
discovery of the slip. Take few exam
pies to illustrate what we have ad-
vanced. 1t was but very small and
even insignificant change of letter
which rather spoiled the impressive elo-
quence of a preacher, who, warming his
audience against idolatry, in place of
"Bow not thy knee to an IDOL" made a
false step and said, Bow not thine eye
to needle
In the same way the young clergyman
with the correct Oxford pronunciation
in giving the hymn, ''Conquering Kings"
merely stumbled over the first vowel,
but being unable to save himself was
hurried over the precipice and startled
his congregation with the announce
ment, 1.-THE hymn tonight Will be kin
quering Congs, Kinquering Congs.'"
Much the same was the pitfan into
which a reverend gentleman walked
when in place of saying "Behold the
fig tree, how it withereth away" by
simple transposition OF two letters he
asked his audience to "Behold the wig
tree, how it fithereth way."-London
