FUN, PURE AND SIMPLE.
That Is the Object Of Novel Sort of
Girls Club

We girls were tired Of hearing of
clubs which had been formed for mul-
tra1 improvement or for the improve
ment of other people, and determined
that our club should be for fun, pure
and simple, says a writer in Harper's
Bazaar.
There were sixteen of us, all more or
less busy with music, French, German
or art, and any number of social en-
gagements, for all are society girls.
We meet every other week, on GER
tain afternoon, from 2 until 5 o'clock,
at the houses of the members in ro-
tatOn.
The FUN" consists of games Of all
sorts, progressive and otherwise, ac-
cording to the inclination of the girl
at whose house the meeting takes
place. There is no organization to
speak of. and there are no dues. Each
hostess furnishes the refreshments
which are limited to ices, cake, chOcO-
late, and lemonade.
OF course there are prizes, first and
second inexpensive things, such as
silver letter-openers, steel and silver
pins for the hair, china bOnbon dishes,

Qualified Suffrage Successful.

New York Post: The Mississippi sys-
tenn of a qualified suffrage was bitterly
denounced upon it's adoption by the
republican press of the north, but ex-
perience seems to be jushfying it's wis
dom. 1t is really only an extension Of
the system which formerly prevailed in
New England, and which yet survives
to limited extent in that section,
whereby only those who possessed some
property or intelligence were allowed
to vote. Massachusetts has still a read
ing and writing test, although it is said
not to be very strictly enforced and
been taught that some measure of III
tie people of that state have always
teiligence was requisite to the proper
exercise of the franchise. 1t is this
principle which has now been adopted
by Mississippi, and is under considera-
ton by other southern states, after eX-
perience has demonstrated the impOs-
sibility of good government when every
body is allowed to vote in communi-
ty where the majority are ignorant.
1t is a problem which each state must
settle for itself, and Mississippi appears
to have solved it successfully far az
she is concerned.

FEEDERS FALLING.
Flooded Lowlands Will Result in Hard
Times and Dull Business.

st. Louis, May Sat 9 o'clock this
morning the gauge on the Mississippi
river here registered 81 feet 10 inches
within two inches of the danger line.
This is a rise Of four inches in twelve
hours, and the water is still rising.
Business on the wharf is practically
suspended. The steamboats, are able to
make but few of their regular landings
on account of the high water. Conse-
quently they are obliged to run with
light cargoes.
Reports from above show that the
river was falling last night at Keokulz
and Quincy, and that the Missouri was
falling at Hermann. The Usage and
Gasconade rivers have spent their force
and are receding rapidly. 1t is expect
ed that the river will reach it's crest
here tomorrow and will then fall rapid
ly. The local river shippers and steam
boatmen are much discouraged with the
outlook
The indications are that the foods
will prove disastrous ito the crops on all
lowiands along the river, which will
insure hard times and dull business
for another year.

Superstitions About Partridges

In regard to the habit of cartridges
of flying into civilization, and a popular
superstition regarding them, an Au-
gusta man said to a reporter Of the
Bangor Commercial:
One flew on our premises and was
captured. Then came UP the question
whether we should kill the bird or
allow it to live At that time there
was a general superstition that if a
partridge came to house where a sick
person lay and the bird was killed and
the sick person ate the broth it would
effect cure. There was a girl sick at
our house and the doctors had given
up her case as hopeless.
Some Of the family said kill the
partridge and give the sick girl the
broth. But the sick girl and others
We're for permitting the partridge to
live. We We're equally divided and
agreed let one of the neighbors,
whom we saw coming to the house,
decide whether the partridge should be
killed or not. He said kill it and we
did, and the sick girl ate the broth and
got Well"

The Mule as an Oculist.

Edward Truax Of Haddonfield, n. J.,
who was born crosseyed and has re-
manned so until recently, has had his
defective eye cured by a somewhat Wig
orOus but highly successful operation,
performed by a mule which had not
made any pretentions to surgical skill.
Three weeks ago TruaX was kicked in
the face by mule. The blow was so
hard that it knocked his cross-eye out
Of its socket and laid it upon his cheek.
A physician was called, who replaced
the eyes and covered it with a bandage
Recently the bandage was removed and
the discovery made that the eye was
perfectly straight with it's sight unim-
paired. Mr.. Truax now feels that the
mule, whatever its intention was, did
him a great kindness.

STONE, ARROW AND SPEAR
HEADS.
How They Are Still Manufactured By
Indians in Central Mexico.

In the foothills and canOnS of New
Mexico and Arizona I have often come
upon small areas, from six to a dozen
feet in diameter, thickly strewn with
flakes and chips of flint, quartz and the
black volcanic glass called obsidian,
says a writer in the New York AdveT
tiser. Among these chips [ have found
stone arrow and spear heads and other
implements, in more or less perfect
condition, indicating that these places
were the sites of the workshops Of our
barbarian antecedentS in the occupation
of the country. But that is all past.
The Indians of today have become
skilled in the use of more effective
weapons and implements, and those of
stone have gone out of fashion in the
United States. 1t was not until very
recently that I had an opportunity of
visiting one Of these primitive armOrieS
operated in an Indian village in central
Mexico and of watching a weather
beaten, Wrinkled old man plying the
vocation of chipping out Of stone these
odd knives, arrow heads and what not
with a cOnSummate skill.
Obsidian is quite brittle as compared
with other varieties of stone used in
this manufacture. 1t is comparatively
easy to chip this material into shape
if one knows how. A strong T-shaped
instrument is made of hardwood, the
body about twenty inches in length,
the crosspieces ten inches or a foot
long. Seating himself upon the ground
the workman selects a bit of stone
to suit his purpose, places the cross
of the T against his breast, the lower
end of the body held and guided by
his left hand, while in his right hand
clamped viselike between his knees, he
holds a piece of obsidian. Placing the
lower end Of his wooden instrument
against the stone, he gives a sudden
quick, strong pressure of the body
against the r, which results in splinter,
ing off a flake of the brittle material
| The operation is repeated again and
again with the greatest nicely until
the stone is reduced to the desired
proportions. Every Indian is not his
own armOrer or artisan. 1t requires
long practice to attain the necessary
skill, and usually one or two Of the
men act in the capacity Of implement
makers for an entire village, and they
seem to find it a profitable industry
The stone used is carefully selected AND
is often brought long distances to the
workshops. L have found heaps of OBJ
sidian chips in localities very far re
moved from the nearest place where
the mineral is found.
