Wisconsin's Indians.

In 1886, when Wisconsin was organ
lied as a territory, the civilized tribes Of
Indians living in Wisconsin We're the
Brothertowns, the Stockbridges and the
Oneidas. The two former were located
on Lake Winnebago. in Calumet county.
By acts Of congress all the Brother
towns and a part of the Stockbridges
were made citizens of the United States.
The uncivilized Indians We're the Potta-
watomies and the Winnebagoes.
We live in what was the Menomon
Indian country in 1886. At that time
they could muster at least 1000 war
riors. Now they are civilized. They
furnished many excellent soldiers for
the Union army, and that service accel-
Grated the civilization Of the tribe. Prob
ably they could not now furnish over
800 men fit for military service.
The Chippewas diminish less rapidly,
but the Pottawatomies are nearly ex-
tinct in this state. The Winnebagoes
were sent to Nebraska, but several bands
returned and have homestead lands in
northwest Wisconsin. They do not pro-
gress much in the direction of civiliza-
tion.-Appleton Wis., Crescent.

A Genuine Philanthropist.

One of New York's ph~ilanthropic mer-
chants spends thousands of dollars each
year in aiding the poor, but none Of his
beneficiaries ever gets a cent in cash.
His idea is that money giving democrat
ICES the recipient. He MI buy groceries
and pay rent for a distressed family and
secure employment for the wase earn
ers. Once they are at work he tuI:4
them that he considers it q moral obi
cation for them to refund, at any con-
venient season, the sum he has expended.
If they do, he regards the case as a tri-
umph of self respect. If they don't, he
finds some excuse for them in his own
mind and keeps right on at his self ap-
pointed task. Last winter he hired a hall
in the Hebrew district down town, en-
gagged q competent teacher and provided
a number of Jewish girls with free in
structions. Noproselyting was attempt
ed. Indeed not a word was said about
religion. The girls became greatly in
terested, and their brothers begged for
and obtained admittance. Similar classes
are to be established this winter. The
merchant allows himself an income of 8
900 per year. All the rest of the money
he makes is devoted to the aid of others.

Milford. Miss and the Doe.

Atraveler's tale Of British phlegm il
told in the following terms: A French
man was seated in a smoking carriage
and had for his companion a "milord
Anglais." Enter a British miss-of
course with a plaid and p%rotruding teeth
and a Skye terrier. She sat opposite the
MILFORD. He politely informed her that
she had by mistake got into a smoking
carriage. She made not the slightest an
swer. but sat grimly on.
The MILFORD threw away his cigar. much
to the astonishment of the Frenchman,
who, according to the story, sat watch
ing what would happen. When they
reached the next station, the MILFORD said,
with the cold dignity of his race and
cast: madam can now change into a
nonsmoking carriage. If she does not, 1
shall assume that she does not mind
smoke and shall light another cigar"
Madam said not a word, but stared in
front Of her. The train went on again.
and the MILFORD lighted up. When his
cigar was well alight and the train in
motion, the lady bent forward, took the
cigar out of the milord's mouth and
threw it out Of the window. The Milford
not only did not make any remark, but
he did not even seem disturbed. All he
did was to wait a minute, and then to
bend owe the lady, seize the Skye ter
rier, which was lying in her lap, and
fling it out of the window.
Of this act the lady, to the complete
establishment Of the French spectator,
took no notice whatever. At the next
station both the lady and the MILFORD got
out, but without exchanging a word in
regard to the cigar and dog incident,
while the Frenchman turned over in his
head an etude on the subject of 'Les
Anglais taciturnes "-London Spectator.

Announcements of Marriages That Have
Been Unceremoniously Interrupted.
A few years ago a lud%icrous, albeit
vexatious, incident occurred at a church
in Larkhall. A rustic couple, after hav-
ing had the banns published the pre-
scribed number of times, proceeded to
the church to be joined in holy wedlock.
The service was conducted without a
hitch until the officiating clergyman ar
rived at that part where he asked, evil
liam Wisher, wilt thou have this woman
to be thy welded wife?' when the bride
groom replied with some astonishment
that his name was not William Wisher.
The ceremony was of course suspend
ed, and on investigation being made as
to the cause of the mistake it TRANSFERRED
that the bridegroom had written to the
sexton of the church requesting him to
have the banns published, and concluded
his letter thus, $50 no more from your
well wisher and Mary Williams" The
sexton, supposing that William Wisher
was the name of the intending Benedict,
published the banns accordingly, and
the disappointed couple were compelled
to await the publication of the banns in

A Metal That Hardens Steel,

The reason that the mixture of tung-
stem with steel gives the latter SO greata
degree of hardness that it readily
scratches glass and quartz seems to be
revealed by a discovery recently made
in Germany. A definitely crystallized
compound of iron and tungsten has been
discovered, the crystals being so hard as
to scratch topaz. Tungsten is a brittle
white metal, almost as heavy as gold.
The crystals, remarks The Paper Trade,
as formed by it's combination with iron,
in the proportion of one atom of iron to
two of tungsten, are silver gray and very
brilliant. 1t is thought that when tung-
stem is alleged with steel some of the
compound just described is formed in
the mass, thereby producing the remark
able increase in the hardness of the steel.
This is an interesting example of the
value that n metal may lend to the 9TH
er, for, until the discovery that it could
be used in hardening steel, tungsten, al
though it occurs in considerable album
dance, was practically useless and with
out value.-New York Times.
