Russian Decorations,

When Russian decorations are given
to foreigners they usually take the
form Of medals. which at St Peters
burg are the reward of faithful do
meStics OF the courts. Dumas pere
received the medal of st. Anne after
he had written a story of Russian life;
but hearing that such a decoration
was of no social value. he returned it
to st. Petersburg, whereupon a cross
of the second class of that order was
dispatched to him. with an apology
for the mistake, as it was termed. A
famous singer was once ridiculed at
St petersburg when he walked about
wearing the medal of ST. Andrew
which he innocently regarded as being
very nearly equal to the light blue
ribbon gold collar chain and eight
pointed star with a blue eagle on it
of that famous order which ranks
with the black eagle Of Prussia and
with the English garter. The medal
however, is an uppe servants decor
alton, and Russians laugh in their
sleeves when they see foreigners-to
whom it is given by dozens wearing
it as mark of high distinction

| and he posed rs 4 warrior AM h1rpler.
The red men are beginning to rail .
that the few white men on the
! frontier are not all the whites in the
! country.
Some years ago a few Indian
chiefs were sent to Washington, more
to impress them with the number and
strength of the pale faces in the
country than anyth ng else, and when
/ they returned they told that the num-
! Der OF white men were as the leaves
, of the forest and could not be counted.
/ They had palaces money and guns
, and the arm OF the red man would be-
, as straw against them. The Indians
declared that the visiting chiefs were
drawing the long bow. and refused to
credit their stories about the pale
faces, Now the remarkable part of It
is that the chiefs had to take back all
they had said, and humbly acknowl-
edge that they had been doing some
tall and picturesque lying. Time,
though, has convinced them that the
chiefs spoke the truth. "
1t is generally supposed that the
Indian is a much better horseman
than white man, but the general
said that the contrary had been
proven. We had some vicious horses
to be broken into the cavalry service
and naturally supposed that the In
dians in the regular army were the
men to do it. One or two Indians
were thrown from the horses and the
rest were afraid to try the bucking
steeds. A white trooper can ride and
! break bad o. bucking horse where
an Indian can do nothing. That lot
Of bad horses was soon broken in by
white troopers much to the
qualification OF the Indian cavalry
men. White men can stand harder
service. On his pony the Indian is
good rider and can ride several days
and nights continuously. His endur-
ance in that respect is. perhaps
greater than white trooper. The
red man is not a bad marksman."

His Intense Desire to Kill Buffalo Did
Not Hold Gut.
Ten years ago the hunter ambitious
to secure a buffalo could still go to
region where he could kill hundreds
Of them. Then there was d western
town" into which the buffalo often
came down at night and it was not
unusual for the residents when they
arose in the morning to see a bunch
within rife range of the houses
Among the dwellers in this town was
one who. although he had lived on
the frontier since the early COS had
never killed buffalo. One morning
when Hiram looked out OF his door he
saw, not far away, great buffalo bull
rubbing his ragged side against the
bole OF an old cottonwood tree. Hero
was chance such as had never before
presented itself. Such an oppor-
tunity might not occur again" and he
was filed with great longing TO kill
! this bull Selling a gun he crept out

and among the trees was soon quite
i near the bull. Its immense size--for

but he had gone too far TO retreat
now. Feeling a little nervous, he
leveled his gun and fred. At the re-

'sne Growth of Language.

The comical illustration of the
growth of languages comes to us from
the Caroline islands. Shortly after
the Spaniards had made their savage
attack on the island OF Ponape, and
while it was feared that they might
land at Kusaie tho native pupils in
quirel OF the teachers where Spain
was, and were shown the country on
the map
The teachers noticed shortly after
ward that in their conversation the
pupils frequently used the word Spain
in a connection that seemed strange,
and on inquiry discovered that the
boys had just gieyn the name Spain
as the worst word that they knew, to
the raw sores which had appeared on
their bodies in a peculiar epidemic.
The word was Immediately adopted
by the people OF Kusaie and in year
or two it had spread all over the Car
oline. Gilbert and Marshall islands. a
