Novel Dueling.

1t is fact that among American In
dians of the same tribe, though they
may numbe thousands, there are few
cases of quarrels that ever result in
murder. This is strange when it is
remembered that the Indian is passion
ate, uncontrolled il his impulses, cruel
and ferocious by nature. They have
their difficulties and quarrels, how
ever. but arbitration of the old men
prevents bloodshed Or murder.
Yet once in awhile a fight occurs,
and it is novel sight to witness, says
an old western traveller. One buck
challenges another to combat. Ac-
companied by his friends to the battle
ground, each buck is stripped and
made to confront the other.
Between them lies war club, a
smooth, long piece Of hardwood, sea-
soned by years of service and regarded
with reverence because of the blood
stains on it received during the war.
The seconds of the surly-looking duel
lists toss up piece of bark. The win
ner picks up the club and his oppo-
nent, folding his arms. plants himself,
bending his head.
1t is the clubbearer's privilege to
whack his antagonist just as hard as
he can and with all the vigorous ma
liciousness he can command on the
back. Cne blow is struck and then
the man who has endured it picks up
the club and his opponent is subjected
to all the force he can command.
So the whacking goes on and almost
every blow is a knock-down one, until
the duelist last knocked down refuses
to accept the club from his opponent.
He has had enough and the party
breaks up. The severity of the pun
ishment endured in these duels is mar
velous. The club used has Jagged
edge and every blow struck brings
blood, making deep cuts and fearful
bruises

BOUND TO HAVE TROUBLE.
4 Washington Paper Insists That Another
Indian Scrap is Browing.

Indian Scrap is Brewing.
No information of a threatened
trouble at the Pine Ridge Indian
agency has been received by the
Indian officials at Washington, and
they unhesitatingly express the
opinion that there is absolutely no
foundation for the alarmist stories
which have been published to that
affect. The Washington Star however
prints the following:
Information received by the Star
from private and pretty reliable
sources is to the effect that ghost
dancing is going on steadily in at
least one camp at White Clay Creek.
An effort was recently made by the
agency police to arrest one OF the
dancers, but the effort was a failure
because a lot of the turbulent bucks
pointed their Winchesters in the
policemen's face and notified them to
return to the agency as rapidly as
possible. Out of this incident has
grown much uneasiness, so far as
Nebraska and South Dakota settlers
are concerned. The dancers remember
that their medicine man foretold
that the Messiah would come in 1898,
and they are ready to meet him and
to assist in the conquest of the white
race, which they believe will surely
follow. ''In all about $4,000 has
been paid to Sioux who were alleged
to have been loyal, but whose prop
erty suffered in the outbreak of l9O-9l.
This money has been expended
principally in rifles, ammunition and
other material which would be of
value in a campaign. So, as DIR.
McGillicudy says, there may be
trouble at any moment"

CURIOUS SPECIMENS OF PIPES.
Odd Ways in Which Ali Glasses of People
Know to Make Them.

\ long and slender stemmed pipe
was brought from Central Africa some
wears ago, from the neighborhood OF
Albert Nyanza, by the Stanley expe-
dition. and was obtained from the
dwarf tribes inhabiting the Areweni
and Ituri forests, near the equator.
To make the pipe the little people
take the midrib of the banana leaf,
which is cellular, and, by pushing a
long, hard river reed through the rib,
they are enabled to get the bore re-
auired for the pipe stem. They plug
the lower end with clay, and, rolling
up section of the banana leaf into a
tiny cornucopia, cut a hole in the stem
and insert it for bowl, the sap in the
green leaf preventing its combustion
as the tobacco burns. This pipe re-
calls the bowl made from potato and
the stem made out of piece of twig
from which the pith had been driven,
which was employed by many Amer
lean soldiers during the great war.
Another curious pipe is made from
shell which comes from New Guinea.
While the pipes used in the interior
are more generally made of bam boo,
those smoked in the nelghborhood OF
the coast and especially in Savo and
the Solomon islands, are made Of shells
which are picked up on the seashore.
At present the principal pipe used in
the southern portion of New Guinea
and the adjacent islands is the English
clay, and a pipe of this description is
generally acceptable as part OF the
payment for days labor in that dis
| trict,
Quite recently some curious pipes
were found in the vast guano deposits
of Peru, the date of which is fixed by
scientists to whom they have been sub
mitted as co-equal with the famous
Peruvian pottery, the eleventh OF
twelfth century.

SOLD THEM AS SLAVES.
A Story Equaling The Horrible
Tales Of Slave Trade of
Fifty Years Ago.
Gilbert Islanders Kidnapped and
Sold in Central America
A Sailors Testimony.

The San Francisco Examiner prints
a lengthy account of the cruise OF the
steamer Montserrat, which arrived
in that city last week from San Jose
de Guatemala, after having landed in
Guatemala ports 398 natives of the
Gilbert islands, who were delivered to
wealthy plantation owners of Central
America under contract to become
laborers there for term of five years.
The account is written byan Examiner
reporter who left On the Montserrat
in April last in the guise of a sailor
and accompanied her On the entire
voyage. The account declares that
the Montserrat was slave ship; that
the natives were
SOLD IN GUATEMALA
for 800 a head, the amount being
taken in the guise of passage
money" 1t states that the steamer
visited number Of places in the
Gilbert group, and shows that most
questionable methods were resorted
to get natives aboard. In number
of cases young lads were induced to
go aboard the steamer and were
frightened into signing a contract,
and then their parents and older
relatives, not being willing to part
with them, would go aboard also.
A number of old and decrepit men
and women and young children were
among those secured. Upon the
arrival at Guatemala, the plantation
owners would some times demur at
paying for such helpless labor, and
these victims would then be presented
to them in consideration of their
paying for the more able bodied
ones. The manager Of the expedition
was w. Fl. Ferguson, who was also
connected with
ANOTHER ALLEGED SLAVE SHIP,
ill-fated "Tahiti," which sunk with
400 Gilbert islanders aboard. The
reporter states that during the visit
of the Montserrat to the islands
Ferguson deceived the islanders as
to the fate of their countrymen on
the Tahiti, and told them they
were safely landed in Mexico and
were enjoying great prosperity. The
account also states that of the 40(
Gilbert islanders who were taken
to Guatemala two years ago under
the same conditions to work Oh
plantations there, only $50 are alive
now, the others having succumbed
to feyers and other diseases.

Rules For Easy Housekeeping.

Demorest's Magazine: One could
60 on indefinitely pointing out specific
ways in which labor may be saved
and work made easy, and the sug-
gestions would still seem incomplete.
The general principles upon which
easy housekeeping is based may be
summed up in very few sentences:
Regard housekeeping as business,
and attend promptly oall the details
of it, as one would do in any other
business.
Insist upon having proper con-
veniences with which to work, and
get the benefit of them by using
them Systematically.
Never work hard for a time in
order to rest afterwards, but scatter
the work SO that no day will be a
hard one, and none need be spent in
idleness.
Remember that one does not save
labor by neglecting to do it, for a day
of reckoning will come when it will
press to be done, and most likely at
an inconvenient season.
While endeayoring to be methodical
do not be slave to method, but keep
everything in such order that any
unexpected event may not be d
serious inconvenience.
Do not fret when things 60 wrong,
but remember that in every kind OF
work there must sometimes be a
little friction, and meeting 1t calmly
will do more than anything else
| towards removing it.
Above all, use your wits in saving
time and steps, and make the work a
pleasure by following an intelligent
plan in accomplishing it.

THE WASTE OF SHOE LEATHER.
Some Statistical Facts That Are Inter-
esting.

Some industrious statistician has
been employing his spare time conf
putting how much shoe leather is daily
worn from the soles of foot passengers
in New York.
He has found out by analysis, accord
ing to the World, that among the many
ingredients which 60 to make up the
dust and mud in New York streets,
shoe leather plays a prominent part.
1t may be assumed, he argues, that
about 100000 people daily do more
Or less walking in the streets of New
York and that on an average six grains
of leather is worn from the soles of
each.
On this assumption it follows that
every day 2,344 pounds of shoe leather
becomes incorporated with the mud
and dust of the streets of the metrop-
oils.
Taking into consideration the fact
that less walking is done in the city on
Sunday than on week days, he con-
cludes that ton of leather is worn
away daily. If the particles which 90
stored to their original condition they
would form a leather strap an inch
wide and ten miles long.
In the course of year the material
would suffice for an inch-wide strap
long enough to reach from New York
to Liverpool.
For leather in the form of boot-soles
the public pays 60 cents a pound; so
the amount daily lost in New York is
something like 81, 400, or over $500, 900
a year.

The Boys OPPORTUNITY.

1t was Benjamin Harrison who
said, II believe also in the American
opportunity which puts the starry
sky above every boys head and sets
his foot upon ladder which he may
climb until his strength gives away
This is the height of wisdom to give
every one the same chance and then
let the best win. But to get the best
out of every one, something must be
taken for granted. For instance the
first requisite Of success is good
health. When two persons are
striving for the same object the Que
who has the most endurance will
finally come out victor. More people
fail in life because they break down
from nervous strain than from any
other cause. This brings on some
form Of pulmonary trouble usually
beginning with slight cough which
deepens gradually until the victim is
told that he has consumption. If he
will get a bottle Of
REID s GERMAN COUCH AND KIDNEY
CURE
he can save himself from all of this
misery and be restored to health.

large ones soc. Get them of any
