Chicago, the Fair and the Fire.

One of the most remarkable facts
noticeable among the great influx of
visitors to the Fair is their keen in
terest in the great city, her past his
tory and present wonderful growth,
aad the marvellous rebuilding that
has taken place since Chicago was
swept away by the flames of the fire
Of 1871. This is nowhere more
manifest than at the cyclOrama OF
she Chicago Fire, Michigan Avenue
and Madison Street, where the beau
tiful effects that the artists have Sc
cured in painting the great cOnfagra-
tiOn are like nothing ever yet shown
"a cyclOramiC wOrk;-the burning EN-.
berS, hurled through the air by the
hurricane that was blowing on that
memorable October day, the topping
walls, portions of which are shown in
mid air, blown there by an explosion
of giant powder, clouds of ruddy hue
finted by the flames, the shadows Of
which are dancing on the doomed
buildings-all so realistic as to bt
startling in their effect, and one Cal
almost imagine the work of destruc
ton to be at the moment going on.
The visitor to Chicago will find this
10 be one of the most interesting ex
additions in the city.

Are Greenbacks Taxable?

The board OF county commissioners
Submitted the above question to the
county attorney for his legal opinion
on the matter; and on Tuesday OF last
week County Attorney Carver sub
rnitted them his opinion found below.
ar. Carver had written Attorney Gen.
eral Little for his opinion on the matter
but had failed to receive his reply until
Thursday. We publish both opinions:
Topeka, KAs., June 10, 1893.
Hon. C. J. Carver, Wellington, Kan:
DEAR SIR: Your letter received, and
IN reply will say; Under the law OF Ran.
sas money is subject to taxation, and
there is no question but the United
States treasury notes are money, for
they are made full legal tender for the
payment OF all debts except those spe-
Gifally mentioned on the back thereof.
But the law OF the United States, revised
statutes, 1878, page 731, section 3701,
reads as follows: "All stocks, bonds,
treasury notes, and other obligations. Of
tEe United States shall be exempt from
Eaxation by or under state, municipal
or local authority" Ia 9th Kansas,
page 344, the question was attempted
TO be rsised before the supreme court OF
Kansas, but the courtdld not pass upon
che proposition. The case, however,
was carried to the supreme court OF the
Gated States and you will find it de-
sided in 81 United States reports, page
3Ge. Chief Justice Waite delivered the
opinion OF the court, in which be holds
that United States notes are exempt
srem taxation by or under state or
SRuaicipal authority. To the same
eject is 129, US. 594. There are num-
circus decisions upon the same PROPOSE.
tieR to the same effect. Without taking
iGe TO cite further authorities, l must
therefore conclude that US. legal tender
notes are not subject to taxation.
Yours respectfully, JOHN 7. LITTLE,
Attorney-General.

The sting of bee is composed of two
spears of polished horn held in sheath
One gets a notion of the sharpness of the
weapon by a very simple comparison. The
edge of a very keen razor, when examined
under good microscope, appears as broad
as the back of a thick knife, rough, uneven
and full of notches. An exceedingly small
and delicate needle, similarly scrutinized,
resembles rough bar from smiths forge.
The sting of bee, viewed through the
same instrument. shows a hawless polish,
without the least blemish or inequality,
ending in point too fine to be dscerned
In the act of singing, the spears, each of
which has nina barbs and is grooved with
a channel for the passage of the poison,
emerge from the sheath. One of them is
plunged into the flesh of the victim, the
other following, and alternately they pene-
trate deeper and deeper. The vernon is
forced to the ends of the spears by much
the same process as that which carries the
poison from the tooth of a snake when it
bites.

A clergyman who was settled some
years ago in a southern town was in great
favor with the colored brethren and was
frequently called upon to 'sit in council
with the members of one of their churches
in a neighboring town.
Among these members was an old darky,
with grizzled hair, who had in a high de-
gree the gift for responses so much cul-
tivated by the people OF his color. He
was always ready with amen" and more
than ready with "Glory!' but his particu-
lar fondness was for the fervcnt ejacula-
ton. DE Lord Glib us more faith
On one occasion, when the clergyman in
question had been called upon to discourse
to this congregation, he illustrated his
practical talk with the story of an oc-
currence which he had himself witnessed
not long before As he finished it he said
earnestly:
"Now, my brethren, you would hardly
believe, would you, that any man could
have witnessed such a scene a. that, al
most at your very doors?'
As he paused there came a tremendous
groan from the old darky, and with great
fervor he calculated, ode Lord Glib rs

The second of these stories is very large
one. and the reader is not under compulson to
believe it,
During the war a chaplain in a Virginia
regiment stood upon a slight knoll watch
ing the operations of the rnemy's batteries
beyond. Several men were about him,
lying on the grass and under the trees, also
watching the firing The great balls could
be seen in the air as they rose and fell, and
the soldiers about estimated very closely
a wide berth. Suddenly, as a gun doomed
and a tiny black spot appeared in mid-air,
the men moved hurriedly.
"ParsOn," shouted one, chats meant
for you-better look OUT" And acting
or the suggestion the chaplain stood aside.
Just in time too, it was, for as he moved
away, the knoll upon which he had been
standing was poughed by the immense
mass.
That was very good shooting on one side
and close estimating on the other and an
other story of fine craftsmanship is equally
interesting. Two single gun batteries
were having an extended duel, until finally
one of the gunners got annoyed. They
were some distance apart, and only the ugly
black muzzles of the guns could be seen
when they came to shoot
"Lieutenant," cried the aggreved
gunner at length, "I'll settle that fellow if
you'll stand on this platform with your
glass and inform me of their movements"
So the lieutenant took his glass and
noted. "They're ramming her !! he cried,
after moment. Now they are running
her out; the gunner has taken his stand (;
he has hold of the lanyard; he is about
to"
Bang went the cannon at his side, and
the lieutenant almost fell from his perch,
but recovered his balance in time to see
the other gun knocked over and over by
the well directed ball.
The next day the lieutenant and his
soldiers were in possession of the enemy S
camp, and looked up the disabled cannon.
1t had been knocked endways, for just as
the gunner had pulled the lanyard the ball
from the lieutenants gun had struck the
cannon squarely in the muzzle and wedged
itself there, causing the gun to burst by its
own explosion. 1t was really a most won
derful shot.-Harper' Young People,

A Trusty Servant.

A useful and obedient handmaiden is
"lttle Dinah, who will remain for hours
on duty at the door, holding it open or
shut as her mistress desires. Indeed, like
Casabianca, she will not go even though
the flames roll on and burn the house
down. This quaint little guardian of the
door is made of a tall bottle filled with
sand and tightly corked. A darky doll $
head is then fitted on and a neat print
dress made that reaches the floor. A white
apron is tied about the waist, and a folded
square of muslin over her shoulders
crosses in front, fichu fashion, and is knot
ted at the back A gay bit of plaid silk or
cotton wound around the head turban-wise
completes her costume. A strip of cloth
sewed firmly around the bottle neck will
support the arms, which may be round
sticks or the arms of discarded doll tint
ed to the desired hue with a little black
varnish.- WOrthiHgton'S Mdgdzinc

Life on Prairie Farms.

Mr.. T.. V. Smaley in his article ON "The
isolation of life on prairie FARMS" in the
September Atlantic, thus pictures that
life:
"If there be any region in the world
where the natural gregarious instinct of
mankind should assert itself, that region is
our Northwestern prares, where a short
hot summer is followed by long cold win
ter, and where there is little i'm the aspect
of nature to furnish food for thought On
every hand the treeless prairie stretches
away to the horizon line. In summer, it
is checkered with grain fields or carpeted
with grass and flowers, and it is inspiring
in its color and vastness; but one mile of
it is almost exactly like another, save
where some waterCOurse nurtures a fringe
of willows and cottonwoods. When the
snow covers the ground the prospect is
bleak and dispiriting. No brooks babble
under icy armor. There is no bird life af-
ter the wild geese and ducks have passed
on their way south. The silence of death
rests on the vast landscape, save when it
is swept by cruel winds that search out ev-
cry chink and Granny Of the buildings, and
drive through each unguarded aperture the
dry, powdery snow.
ain such a region, you would expect the
dwellings to be of substantial construction,
but they are not. The new settler is too
poor to build of brick or stone. lie hauls
a few loads of lumber from the nearest
railway station, and puts up a frail little
house of two, three, or four rooms that
looks as though the prairie winds would
blow it away. Were it not for the inven-
ton of tarred building paper, the timsy
walls would not keep out the wind and
snow. With this paper the walls are
sheathed under the weather-boards The
barn is often a nondescript affair of sod
walls and straw roof. Lumber is much
too dear to be used for doOryard fences,
and there is no inclosure about the house.
A barbedwire fence surrounds the barn
yard. Rarely are there any trees, for on
the prairies trees grow very slowly, and
must be nursed with care to get start.
There is a saying that you must first get
the Indian out of the soil before a tree
will grow at all; which means that some
savage quality must be taken from the
ground by cultivation.
'ln this cramped abode, from the win
dows of which there is nothing more cheer
'ful in sight than the distant houses of 9TH
err settlers, just as ugly and lonely, and
stacks of straw and unthreshed grain, the
farmers family must live. In the sum
mer there is a school for the children, one,
two, or three miles away; but in winter
the distances across the snow-covered
plains are too great for them to travel in
severe weather; the schoolhouse is closed,
and there is nothing for them to do but to
house themselves and long for spring

Pueblo Indian Corn Dance.

The men dancers have lunches of green
and yellow parrot feathers fastened to the
top of their waving raven hair, while
around their necks are strings of beads
made of shells, feldspar, and turquoise.
Their bodies are nude to the waist, and
are painted with blue white clay, some
times merely in crude spots, while the legs
and arms are frequently striped with the
same or different tone. Around the
loins a Zuh or Moqui woven breech-cloth
embroidered in red and black is held in
place by white cotton grde or sash, end
ing in balls and long strings, waving with
every movement. Below the knee masses of
brilliant colored wool are knotted; over
various colored and beaded moCcasins are
anklets of white and black skunk or goat
fur; and hanging from the bell behind, a
fox-skin with the tail downward. Under
broad armlets of tinted buckskin are sprigs
of cedar; a bunch of the same is held in
the left hand, while the right shakes a gourd
rattle at every change of posture.
The dress of the women is a square of
dark blue wool, drawn over one shoulder
and under the other exposing part of the
breast, while the sides are held together
by ornamented silver pins. A long woven
colOred sash is wound around the waist.
The legs are bare and notably fine; the feet
small and beautifully formed. Their head
dress is decidedly peculiar 1t is made of
an Oblong piece of board or dried buffalo
hide, notched at the top, with T-shaped
piece resembling the Tau the emblem of
life of the ancient Egyptians, cut out of
the centre. 1t is painted a light green
with red and yellow stripes and symbolic
figures; on the sides and points are tlecks
of white eagles down. The lower part is
followed out to fit the head and is held in
place by thongs of buckskin fastened under
the hair. Immense strings of shell and
coral beads enCircle the women's necks,
and big Navajo silver rings or a crude tur-
quoise hang as ear pendants. Many silver
! and copper bracelets dangle at their wrists
as they wave the branches of evergreen
from side to side in unison with the steps.
Rich vermilion covers their cheeks and
heightens their savage beauty. They are
modest in demeanor, gracefully naive in
movement, and rarely take their eyes off
the ground during the dance.
The dance was kept up for seven long
hours; but there was never any Sinking /;
they stamped as energeticaly the last hour
as the first. Any sign of fatigue would be
met with renewed vigor of the chanting
chorus, while the drummer would reverse
his drum and tlump harder on the other
head. The chorus huddled close together,
gesticulating seriously with their hands, as
though to emphasize the meaning of their
songs.
At shutdown they all filed solemnly into
the church-yard, and kneeled down while
the image of the saint was carried inside.
\ volley from the guns, then the Indian
character asserted itself in wild race of
men and women to the estufa, where they
INDUCED in their first refreshmeut of the
day. Feasting was kept up far into the
night, as were bontireS throughout the
pueblo and on the church towers and
walls.-Hdpcr'S IIcckM
