The Delaware Indian as an Artist.

Much might be said of the skill of the
Delaware Indian in all of the many
phases of his industry, but propose
only to speak of him as an artist. A
love of bright colors was always, and is,
a prominent characteristic, and proba-
bly, the first attempt at personal adorn-
ment was the attachment to the person
of feathers and small stones of bright
hues- Mica and quartz crystals are
common in graves. The glitter and
glistening of these would be sure to at
tract But what of the next step, that
of shaping from formless masses OBJ
jects that strike the fancy of the wearer?
To shape a pebble that it might better
meet the needs of club-head or
hatchet called for little skill, and the
labor of making an ak has recently
been shown to be but slight; but the
idea of symmetry was developed and
cultivated until a weapon was finally
produced that cannot be improved upon.
The same is true of chipping from flint
points for arrowCshafts. A mere splin-
ter of stone, if sharp and narrow,
would be as effective as any shape that
could be devised; but such chance splin-
ters do not appear to have been used,
except directly after the invention of
the bow and arrow; and, so far as is
now discoverable, series of artistically
designed patterns have been in use for
hundreds of years. Popular Science

A Tloga Girls Queer Present.

There is something grewsome to most
people about mummy, but when a
,mummy's foot is given to a young lady
as philopena present it seems like a
sacrilege upon sentiment. Neverthe-
less, Tioga girl, who has just re-
turned from abroad, displays with
ghoulish glee not only the foot, but the
hand as well, of mummy fresh from
the banks of the Nile-that is, as fresh
as mummy can well be. Both these
ghastly trophies were presented to her
by young man who was unsuccessful
in eating the philopena Being an
original young man, he began casting
his eye about for an original forfeit.
When the party arrived at the tombs of
the king everybody was talking mum
my. So one morning he started out
early, and CHANGED upon some natives
at work upon an excavation. A few
piastres did the work, and when he re-
turned he carried mysterious parcel,
which he gravely presented as his phil
opena. Few young ladies' boudoirs
boast of such remarkable ornaments. -

Vicissitudes That Occur in the Seasons In


Vicissitudes That Occur in the Seasons In
tho arctic Regions.
1t is a singular fact that although
last year enormous fields of ice had be-
gun to invade the so-caled steamer
lanes of the Atlantic at the opening of
spring, there has been comparatively
little ice this year. The ice, OF course,
comes from the edges of the Arctic re-
gions, from the ice bound coasts of
Greenland and Labrador, where huge
bergs, broken from the front of the
glaciers at the point where they reach
the sea, start on their long journeys to-
ward the south, driven by the great
current which flows down from Baffin's
bay into the northern Atlantic ocean.
Remarkable differences occur in the
seasons of the Arctic regions, so that at
certain times, as happened last year,
all the channels of the northern seas
are filled and cholled with floating ice
at the breaking up of winter; while at
other times the same channels are COM
paratively free, and but little ice is
seen along the tracks of the transatlan-
tic steamers.
1t is q most interesting fact that sim
liar vicissitudes evidently occur in the
Arctic and Antarctic regions of the
planet Mars. The telescope shows that
vast fields OF snow exist around the
poles OF Mars, extending when it is
winter at either of those poles, and con-
tracing when it is summer there. But
the polar SHOWS of Mars appear to be
noticeably less extensive in some win
ter seasons than in others, SO that we
might fairly expect to find there, if we
could visit that planet corresponding
differences in the amount of ice carried
toward the equator at the end of sue
cessive winters.
Our Arctic navigators take advantage
of such open seasons as the present ap-
pears to be, whenever they can, to pen
citrate farther toward the North Pole.

FISHING IN THE NORTHWEST.
One of the Sources of Future Wealth for
the Stnte of Washington.

One of the Sources of Future Wealth for
the state of Washington.
Whoever passes along the main retail
street of Seattle and happens to notice
the counters in the principal fish store
will be astonished. In the chromatic
display of the captive creatures of the
sea is the text for another chapter on
future wealth for Washington. They
have the salmon, though that catch is
credited to Oregon and Alaska. There
are in the northern waters cod banks
thousands of miles in extent; halibut,
Goldfish, rock-cod, sole, sea- bass, smelts,
shrimps, herrings, and oysters are all
abundant. Apparently the fisheries
outweigh those of the east, as the tim
ber belt eXceis that which once inclosed
the great lakes Candor compels me to
say that the Pacific fish, with one excep-
tion are inferior to the same kinds of
fish in the east, yet they are not want
ing in fine qualities The halibut Of
Washington and the north is, believe,
the finest sea fish for the table that ia
known in America. The tiny muddy
oysters, the size of dime or quarter,
are the meanest product of that sea,
but they find ready sale and are adj
mired. Since that is so hope for all
the rest should be rampant. Their
crabs, on the contrary, arc not mere
samples; they are wholesale products,
regular marine monsters; and all the
better for that, since they make good
food. The fishing that must ina few
years flecl the waters of the Pacific
with sails is scarcely begun There is
only a million invested in it, and only a
million year is produced by II, t,-Julian

Brilliant Surroundings Of the Baby u
cf Gt.,,,o

Brilliant Surroundings of the Baby King
OF Kume.
Napoleon said at St Helena. Marie
Louise had short reign, but she must
have enjoyed IT, the world was at her
feet" And the proudest moment of her
brief sovereignty was when the little
son was born.
Surely no infant ever had so bright a
golden spoon in its mouth. What a be-
ginning for fairy storyl-"There was
born in a most powerful empire young
prince. His father was an emperor and
king. his mother an empress, the
daughter of an emperor, and was like
wise a queen and an archduchess. His
grandfather was an emperor his uncles
and aunts were kings and queens, and
he himself was prince imperial and a
king even before he could speak,"
What fortune will the seers predict
for the child? His father was sure that
prince imperial was too petty title for
this heir of Europe and the glory of its
conqueror No modern title was grand
enough, and they went back to the
days of the world rulers-the Roman
Cesars. The heir to their throne had
been known as ''king of Rome" and in
default of greater title, the little Ma
poleon was so called.
The birth of this tiny monarch has
been described as "the last smile of
fortune upon him who had been her
favorite child" But though the course
of Napoleon's career had reached it's
highest point and was thence
forth downward, the descent was
at first gradual and hardly apppar-
ent. The father and mother were
overioyed and full of pride in the
beautiful boy. Though so great
q parsonage the empress wrote to
the grandfather just as humber
mother would have done--'I think you
will see how much he looks like the
emperor meaning, of course, her en-
peror and the bnby's emperor The
'child's surroundings were the most ex-
quisite the world could furnish. He
was baptized in the chapel of the Tuil-
cries, from gold font, and surrounded
by sovereigns and courtiers who blazed
in colors and jewels. Imagine the
presents heaped upon this little fellow,
to whom anything less than duke
was poor relation His cradle was of
costly materials, and designed by dis
tinguishod artist. 1t bore at the head
n winged figure of Victory, while at the
foot the imperial eagle was perched
ready to Ay-quite too ready to fly, as
it proved
His baby-carriage was drawn by
lambs as white as Mary's own; while,
for fear they should skip and play and
spill his precious majesty upon the
soil of his future empire gorgeous Of
fetal kept firm hand on the rcins, and
the grandest of nursemaids walked ever
by this royal chariot. But if the baby
crowed and smiled, do doubt it was at
the birds and flowers and sunshine,
which were no more his kingdom than
they are the domain of every child that
breathes
When he tired of his coach, the bravest
veterans of the guard sought the priv
ilege of dandling the son of the beloved
little gray corporal who had become an
emperor No cross or medal was too
precious to be the play thing of the boy
who was to inherit all that had cen
won on SO many terrible battle-felds.

All the world admires and wonders at
the American ak helve. The American
AK fitted with that ingeniously curved
and gracefully fashioned handle is a
marvellously effective weapon, vastly
more apt for its purposes than the
straightforward headsman's AK with
which the Italian fells trees, or the
broad-faced hatchet used for the same
purpose in France. The American ak
helve is just what might have been ex-
pected of an inventive people laden
with the duty of conquering and civiliz-
ing forest-clad continent The world
has been using the AK since prehistoric
times. but it remained for the American
pioneer to fashion the ideal AK handle,
at once light, strong and elastic The
AK such as is familiar to all Americans
is rare in Europe, and it sells in all the
British colonies as the American AK

Meaning OF the Word "Toilette. +"

Toilette" is diminutive o. "toile, {"
a small covering of linen thrown over a
dressing table, but it was reserved for
the decorators of the reign of Louis
XIV. to discriminate between the grand
and little toilette. The latter was a
very simple arrangement, indeed, a
plain wooden altar with unadorned
white napery and a looling-glass, at
which the celebrants were only the
lady's maid and the hair dresser. The
grand toilet was much more splendid
affair. The table was laden with cot
fers of jewels, glove boxes, powder
boxes, receptacles for paint, patches,
pomatum, and scented waters; and
finally, with the dressing case, the fur
niture of which was often of gold or
Alyer, handsomely chased. = Detroit

PORT JERvrs, N. J., June 2.-Robert
Jackson, colored, to-day perpetrated q
most brutal assault upon the parso1 o1
Miss Lena McMahap, Of this place. The
crime was committed in view Of num-
Der Of young girls. Two young negroes,
who were also near the scene Of the as.
sault, made an attempt to capture the
offender, but the brutal ravisher held
them at bay with 8 revolver. After the
cosnmission Of his crime, Jackson fed,
leaving his victim insensible on the
ground, suffering from injuries which
will probably prove fatal.
The report of the crime spread with
great rapfdity, and in very short time o
posse was in pu. suit of the negro. He was
traced to Cuddebac!1, nine miles from
Port Jeryis, where he was captured. The
brute was brought here, and when ques-
toned confessed his crime. He implca-
ted William Foley, white man, whom he
claimed IVES in the conspiracy to ruin
Miss McMahan.
When the citizens heard that the villain
had been captured and brought to the VII
lage, they assembled in large numbers
around the lookup and excitedly discuss
ed the matter. The more fiery ones de-
clared that lynching was the only thing
that could wipe out the foul criGae:
"Act at once," was the cry which went
up, and rush was made tor the jail
door. This soon gave way before the Wig
and the prisoner was soon in their hands,
whom the police unavailingly tried to
The mob dragged the negro up the
street, intending to take him before his
victim, but the anger of the mob could
not longer be restrained, and he was
hanged to the nearest tee. A bowling
mob of over 1000 persons witnessed the
lynching. The body was allowed to swing
from the tree for over an hour, where 1t
was viewed by thousands.
