A Singular Composition Among Ministers
OF the Gospel.


A Singular Competition Among Ministers
OF the Gospel.
Shrewdness is sometimes very eff
Gent as lever to open the religious
conscience. The Apache Indians con-
fined at Mount Vernon barracks, Ala
bama, remnants of the famous Geroni-
mo band have Of late been the objects
of great solicitude on the part of the
ministers of the vicinity, and quite
rivalry has, according to the New York
Recorder, developed between the va
rious denominations in the conversion
Of the braves, squaws and children.
Recently hot pace was set by a IA
Their of the Roman Catholic church,
who took charge of class and by his
good offices converted some forty In
dians, to each of whom he gave a GER
tifcate Of baptism and an order for
watermelon, which latter paper was
honored by the trader. A few days
after this a Methodist clergyman,
hearing of the fathers good luck, APP
peared on the scene and made known
to the Indians the object of his visit.
When he opened his services he was
fattered by seeing nearly all the In
dams in the camp at the meeting, and
among them all of the converts to
Catholicism. He converted the whole
crowd and afterward gave each GER
tifcate of baptism. These the Indians
presented to the traders, and their dis
gust when being told that they did not
call for watermclons was terrible, and
they all agreed that the next time they
get baptized the watermelons must be
distributed in advance.

PILGRIMS AT ST. PAuL.s.
The Number Who Wcariiy Climb to the
Dome Each DaT.

The Number Who YEARLY Climb to the
Dome Each DaT.
There is only one ST. Paul's. and upon
the summit OF its dome there is but one
ball At long intervals a Londoner.
and more frequently tourist, climbs
to this ball and sticks his head and
shoulders inside. Having done this
and looked upon the heart OF the world
from the stone gallery and the golden
gallery, and upon the congregation
from the whispering gallery, he re-
turns to earth and tells his friends and
acquaintances of his feat. and advises
them to follow his example. The num-
Der of persons who make this pilgrim
age averages about forty per day. To
reach the ball it is necessary to climb
six hundred and forty steps of many
varieties. The proportions of the
gilded globe are in perfect keeping
with its surroundings. 1t has diam
eter of six feet, and twelve persons
can stand within its walls. 1t weighs
five thousand six hundred pounds.
The gilded cross that towers above it
is fifteen feet IN height. From this ball
day. Why there are so many kinds of
steps in the cathedral no one pretends
TO explain. In the opinion of those
who have counted them. to climb
these steps is equal to covering twenty
miles on an ordinary road. 1t is uni
versally considered, however, that the
return journey is equal to a Russian
bath. The first steps are of wood.
These are succeeded by steps OF stone,
and these in turn by iron ones Then
there are ladders, some with q gentle
slant, while others stand SO straight
that to those who climb they appear to
lean backward. The first ladder stands
on the crown of the second dome,
where an officer gives necessary direc-
tons to such men as want to see the
ball, for few try to go above the crown
of the dome, being content to rest
there and watch some exceptionally
active sightseer do the rest.

WOMEN IN CHINA AND JAPAN.
They Are Being Benefited by Changing
Conditions.

They Are Being Benefited by Changing
Conditions.
In a discussion of certain papers re-
Gently read at meeting of the japan
society in London Mr.. Okoshi declared
that at present in Japan a wife may
believe any religion she pleases,
though before the abolition of the
feudal system she was bound to adopt
the religion of her husband. In former
times a japanese woman's property
consisted only of what we should call
her paraphernalia-that is, her hair
ornaments and mirrors. Now she may
hold real property and solely dispose
of it. She may own in her own name
stocks and all kinds of securities, and
if she is left widow She may manage
even her husbands property until one
of her sons attains his majority. Mr..
Okoshi further states that many gov
eminent appointments are now open
to women. A paper read last April by
D. Cob on 1.-THE Family Relations in
japan" had contained the statement
that there was 10 check to divorce ex-
cept the family council. But Mr.
Okoshi, replying to this, declared that,
as the law now stands, if one of the
parties considered the ground for the
divorce unfair he or she could appeal
to the courts, which would grant the
divorce only on justifiable grounds.
An interesting conjecture is what in
fiuence will Japan's example have
upon China. Prof. Z. K. Douglas, in a
lecture on Modern Society in China"
in the London and China Telegraph,
says that at present no trace of the
dawn of better day appears on the
horizon of China. Woman is still re-
garded there as a chattel, which in
times of adversely may be disposed of
by sale in the markets.

STUSENOOUS ERUPTIONS.
Havoc Created by Some Of tho Larger
Volcanoes.

Volcanoes.
Few people of this country imagine
what terrible work volcano of the
regulation size can do when it once
gets fully aroused. In 1888 Cotopaxi
threw its fiery rockets more than 5000
feet above the crater, and. in 1857,
when the blazing mass confined in the
same mountain was struggling for an
outlet, it roared SO loud that the awful
noise was heard for distance of 600
miles. In 1877, says the Philadelphia
Record, the crater of Tunguragua, one
of the great peaks of the Andes, flung
out torrents of mud and lava which
damned up a great river, opened new
lakes, besides making a deposit Of
seethirg mud ashes and lava GOO feet
deep over the whole area of valley
which was 90 miles long and averaged
1000 feet in width! The stream of lava
which flowed from Vesuvius in 1887
and passed through the Valley Of Terre
del Greco is estimated to have been
333, 900 cubic feet OF solid matter.
In 17G0 Aetna poured ont food of
81 square miles OF fertile country to
depth of from 10 to 40 feet. On this
occasion the sand, scoria, lava, etc,
from the burning mountain formed
Mount Rosini, a peak two miles in cir
conference and over 1900 feet high.
In the eruption of Vesuvius in the
year 70 A. D., the time of the destruc-
tian of Pompeii, the scoria, ashes, sand
and lava vomited forth far exceeded
the size of the volcano itself, while in
1860 Aetna disgorged over twenty
times it's own mass. Vesuvius has sent
its ashes into Syria, Egypt and Turkey.
1t hurled stones of 500 pounds weight

SUpERSTITIOuS GAMBLERS.
How tie Expression "Dead Indian Under

How tie Expression "Dead Indian Under
the House" Arose.
There must be dead Indian under
the house" How many times that has
been said across the gambling. table in
Helena. And yet how few people
know the origin of the expression,
says writer in the Helena Indepen-
dent. Its meaning was well-known,
however, as everybody was heard to
use it when the cards were against
him. Still, for all that, a dead Indian,
or what was left of him after his dust
had mingled with the soil his fore
fathers owned, lay under one of the
gambling houses ,of Helena from the
time she building was erected until a
short time ago.
In digging the foundation for the
Exchange, in the early days of the
town, an Indian grave was found.
Rather than disturb the bones the
builder concluded to let them rest
there. The house went up and for
years the cards were shuffied and
dealt over the last resting place of the
red man. The proprietor of the house
knew he was there, and whenever luck
ran against the game it became the
custom of the dealers to lay the blame
on the dead Indian"
BY and by people who were playing
against the bank took up the express
sion, and when steady run of bad
luck followed them it was the custom
to remark: There must be dead In
dian under the house" Twice within
the past six months the Exchange has
closed its doors for lack of funds or
other sufficient causes. When the
present owner decided to improve the
building he concluded that he would
move the Indian, and it was done.
