LSzzLE MISTRESS JOSEPHINE:
Tell me, have you ever seen
Children half as queer as These
Babies from across the seasl
See their funny little fists,
SEQ the rings upon their wrists;
One has very little clothes,
One has jewels in her nose;
And they all have silver bangles
On their little heather ankles.
In their ears are curious things.
Round their necks are beads in etringA
And they jingle as they walk,
And they talk outlandish talk.
One you see, has Rugged another,
Playing she's its little mother.
One who sits all lone and lorA,
Has her head all shaved and shorn
Do you want to know their namesf
One is called Jcefungee Hames, J
One Buddhanda Arrieh Bias,
One Teeeundee HANK Sax
Many such as these saw,
In the streets OF old Jeyporo
They never seem TO cry or laugh,
But sober the photograph,
Squatted in the great bazars,
While the Bindoos their mammal
Quarreled long about the price
or their little mess of rice;
And then, when the fight was dono,
Every mother. one by one,
Up her patient child would whip,
Set II straddling on her hip,
And trot of all crooked and bent,
To some hole where well content
Hers and bady's days are spent
Aren't you glad then, little queen,
That your name is Josephinef
That you live in Springfield, or
Not, at least, in old Jeypore?
That your Christian parents arc
John and Hattie, pa and mar
That you've entire nose,
And no rings upon your tocsl
In word, that Hat and you
Do not have 10 be Hindoo?
But thought you'd like TO SEQ
What these little heather be,
And give welcome TO these three
From your loving uncle p.

The Color of Indians.

The color of the Indian race varies
much individually, as does that of our
own Caucasian race, and it also varies
much with the different tribes. 1t is
safe to describe them in general terms
as brown. Some tribes are of a decided
ly light shade of brown, while others
are so dark--the California coast tribes,
for instance as to almost suggest the
negro. Numerous individuals have
been noticed by travellers in some In
dian tribes, as the Mandau, Zuni and
others, who are so light that the idea
of their descent from European peoples
gained currency. 1t was chiefly this
fact that lent weight to the theory pro-
pounded less than one hundred years
ago that colonies of Welsh had been
planted in the wilds of America. As
we now know, however, these light
colored Indians are simply Of n natural
light brown, or are albinos. OF the
latter class perhaps those at Zuni are
the best known.

Marshal Blankenship yesterday re-
ceiTel telegram from a person named
L. Z. Fugate, living at Salt Lake, max
ing inquiry concerning the financial
condition at the time Of his death of
Fred Rupp, OF Salt Lake, who died here
few weeks ago and whose body WAS
shipped home.
Fugate, Who may be either a man or
woman, said that Rupp must have
had between 81 200 and 81 500 and the
marshal was requested to make an in
vestigaton OF the manner in which it
had been disposed Of. From Under-
taker Smith, who had charge OF the re-
mains, he learned that shortly before
his death, believing that he was going
to die, Rnpp sent his mother $1,000.
He had previously sent her sums az
gregating about 5000. Just day or
two before he died he sent to one of the
banks S275, which he told friend was
to be expended in defraying such ex-
penses as might accrue before his death
and tn pay for a casket and transporta-
ton OF his body to Salt Lake. NOthiug
had been left. Fugate has been put in
possession of these facts and all appre-
hensiOn as to the deceased's fortune is
no doubt allayed.

ASKING FOR AUTOGRAPHS.
When Done with Modesty and Tact Most
Men VIII Grant the Request.

When Done with Modesty and Tact Most
Men VIII Grant the REQUEST.
The most elementary form of the
strangers letter is. of course, the appl-
cation for an autograph, says I. W..
Higginson in Iarpcr's Bazaar. This ap-
piication is now reduced to such sys-
ten that 1t causes little inconvenience,
and should not be refused. There is
usually sent with the request blank
card on which the name is to be writ
ten, with an envelope stamped and adj
dressed for its return. Nothing can be
more unobtrusive or mechanical, though
the line of propriety is at once passed,
we may say, where two cards are sent,
thh second one being obviously for ex-
change purposes, or perhaps for sale.
The wary author never, | suspect,
writes on both cards, since he does not
aim to help out a mere business trans
action. Where any applicant goes
farther, and asks an original letter or
copied passage, the affair becomes more
serious. and some authors and public
men ignore such requests altogether, as
being much more serious consumers OF
time. But on the subject of autograph
applications there is to be pointed out a
curious want of tact, into which almost
all applicants fall. They almost always
take pains to explain to the person APP
piled to that they have already very
large collection, including most of the
notabilities of this country and age,
and that they wish to add his name to
their list The effect is to impress the
proposed victim with a sense of his own
insignif 'ance, in that he was asked SO
late TO the entertainment. More tact
would be shown by trying to convince
the person TO whom you apply that you
are just beginning very small and
choice collection, and that you have
come to him as early as possible in
order to make good start. If this
would seem dishonest, it is at least un-
ne essary to make it plain that you re-
gard his autograph as of less value
than the thousand others previously so
licited.

ORIENTAL RARITlES.
An Ancient Copy of Parts Of Zacharia and
Malachi on Papyrus Manuscript.

An Ancient Copy of Parts of Zacharia and
Malachi on Papyrus Manuscript.
Among the rarities displayed to the re
cent congress of Orientalists in London,
says the New York Evening Post, was
a papyrus manuscript discovered a few
months ago in Egypt, which is supposed
by some authorities TO be the oldest ex-
tant copy of parts of the Old Testament
books of Zacharia and Malachi. The
pages of papyrus when intact were
about ten inches high and seven inches
wide, each containing tweuty-eight
lines of writing, both sides Of the sheet
being used. The complete line contains
from fourteen to seventeen letters. The
sheets are bound together in the form
of book in primitive though careful
manner with cords and strips of old
parchment.
The Greek of this document is written
without intervals between the words
n custom observed both in old Greek
and old Hebrew manuscripts. The
papyrus is in fair preservation and is
believed to date from the third
or fourth century. Experts are in
clined to the conclusion that the papy-
rus was copied from some excellenL
original of the Septuagint Bible, which
was first translated about the year $50

SACRED PIGEONS OF VENICE.

Tons of Grain Required to Care for the
Doves of st. Marks Church.
1t may be of interest, says the st.
Louis Republic, 30 such the readers as
like to sentimentalize on sacred subjects
to know that the "Iloly Pigeons of St.
Marks" have been recognized as such
by the authorities of Venice for more
than a thousand years-ever since the
year SIT. In olden times it was the
custom of the sacristans of st. Marks
church to release doves and pigeons,
fettered with paper, after the religious
services of Palm Sunday The paper
letters partially disabled the poor birds,
and such of those as did not escape
were caught by the people, who fatted
them for Easter dinner. Sometimes
one and sometimes dozen of the poor,
1uttering creatures would manage to
break the paper thongs which bound
wings and feet together, whereupon
they almost invariably sought refuge
on the roof and In the steeples of the
historic old church. All of the escaped
birds assumed n certain sacredness, and,
it being against the law TO kill or harm
them in any way, incr -ased to enormous
numbers During the time of the repub-
lie the Sacred Pigeons of st. Marks"
became objects of national solicitude,
tons of grain being annually supplied
for their maintenance. After the fall
of the republic thousands of them
starved TO death and all would have died
but for provision made by pious old
lady, whose will perpetually provides
for them

of her noble simplicity, sincerity, grace
and good feeling. She has melodious
voice, admirably trained, and great
variety OF repertoire, sustaining herself
equally we'll in all her roles, ranging
from grave to gay, from lively to
severe" Best OF all, one feels that in
Miss Murphy we have loyal, earnest
hearted woman as well as artist.

DEMAND FOR DUMMY CARS.

Risks to Which the Clerks In the hallway
Postal Service Are Subjected.
The demand of the postal clerks that
their mail cars be placed in safer part
of the train than next to the locomotive
is very reasonable. always get on a
car near the center of train, and al
though | have been in several accidents
have never been scratched. The I'M
fortunate mail clerk, however, has not
this opportunity of protecting himself,
and, as the result, every time there is a
head-end collision, or a locomotive
jumps the track. the list of killed and
injured is always headed by one or more
mail clerks, if the train carried mail at
all. 1t is, perhaps, impossible to make
up trains invariably with baggage or
express cars next the locomotive, and
even if it were that would be only trans
ferring a grievance from one class of
employees to another, but, says the st.
Louis Globe-D Democrat, it would save
companies money in the long run II
they would run light but strong dummy
cars next the engine, and let them bear
the brunt of the shock when two trains
try to occupy the same space at the
same moment. The patent offices of
this and other countries are full of
models of rubber-protected and other
cars designed for this purpose, and, al
though most Of these are too compli-
Gated, costly and cumbrous to be used
generally, some of them would answer
the purpose well and not put the com
panies TO unreasonable expense. Pub
lie opinion may one day become strong
enough to compel their adoption for
the purpose of saving life.
