THE SEASONS.

Four babies lay in their cradles new
Beginning TO think of "What shall do
The world TO brighten and beautify."
The Spring baby first said, Lei me try"
60 she put on dress Of freshest green,
With trimmings the lovclest ever seen
Trimmings of tulips and hyacinths rare
And trailing arbutus looped everywhere.
How perfectly beautiful" Summer said;
"But wait till you see my dress of red
And darker green with golden spots,
Trimmed with roses and pinks and forget
me-nots."
"Pooh!" snid Autumn. "my dress will be
A more substantial one, you'll see;
With skirt of finest and yellowest wheat,
A girdle Of grapes and squash turban
neat"
Then Winter came silently tripping along
Chanting softly Christmas song,
In pure white dress with jewels spread,
Holding basket of books on his head.
Poems and stories and pictures were there
OF the Christ child, the yule log, Of folk
lore rare,
II am not in bright colors," he said, with
smile,
"But the long winter evenings my gifts
here beguile."

animal was fairly stretched out at
panic speed. This overshooting the
mark by the chetah had the effect of
driving the antelope, which swerved
off Immediately from his line into
running round in circle, with the
chetah on the outside.
The tongas were gallopcd up, and
the excitement of the occupants can
hardly be described. In my eager
ness to see the finish, I jumped of
and took to running, but the hunt
was soon over, for before / could get
quite up, the chetah got close to the
buck, and with spring at his
launches, brought him to the ground.
The leopard then suddenly released
his hold, and sprang at his victims
throat, throwing his prey over on ito
back, where it was held when we ar.
rived Mt the spot. The chetah was
then crouching low, sucking the blood
from the jugular vein, while tenac-
iously clinging with his mouth to the
antelope's throat. The buck gave
only few spasmodic jerks and APP
peared to be dead, though probably
not SO in reality, but only paralyzed
by fear. One OF the men stopped
down and plunged knife into the
bucks neck close to the spot where
the chetah still held fast. This coup
de grace not only terminated the poor
things existence, but caused the
blood to flow freely. which one
of the men proceeded TO catch in
large wooden bowl with u long
handle, that he had brought for the
purpose. When this was full, the
hood was thrust over the chetah's
eyes, his letters were replaced, and
he was ultimately induced to let 60
his hold Of the antelope by the bowl
Of steaming hot blood being slipped
under his nose. Into this dainty re-
ward for his trouble he at once
plunged his head. and with ferocious
eagerness Tapped up the whole Of It.

HUNTING WITH THE cHCTAH.
An Indian Sport More Than Two
Thousand Years Old.

The Century contains an article on
Hunting with the Chetah," n sport
which has been known for more than
1000 years. 1t Is still sometimes
practised in India.
The chctah, commonly known as
the hunting leopard, is taken, bound
In wagon, to the scene of the sport,
When his prey is sighted and the
wagon has been brought sufficiently
near, the animal is loosed from his
bonds. The following is an extract
from the Century article:
In few minutes, that to our anx-
ious minds seemed interminable, we
managed to diminish the distance to
the requisite point, and again the
straps were liberated. The hood was
then slipped from the chetah's head.
He saw the animals at once; his body
quivered all over with excitement,
the tail Strengthened, and the hackles
on his shoulders stood erect, while
his eyes cleaned, and he strained ut
the cord, which was held short. In
second it was unfastened, there was
u yellow streak in the air, and the
chetah was crouching low some yards
away. In this position, and taking
advantage of II certain uneyenness of
the ground which gave him cover, he
stealthily crept forward toward II
buck that was feeding some distance
away from the others. Suddenly this
antelope saw or scented his enemy,
for he was of like the wind. He was,
however, too late; the chetah had
been too quick for him. All there
was to be seen was II fash, ms the SUI
preme rush was made. This move
ment of the chetah is said to be, for
the time it lasts, the quickest thing
i'm the animal world, far surprising
the speed of n race-horse. Certainly
it surprised all of us, who were in
tently watching the details Of the
scene being enacted in our view. The
pace was so marvelously great that the
chetah actually sprang past the buck,
although by this time the terrified

Face Palntins Among indians.

There Is a remarkable paucity OF
information on the subject OF face
painting in the books that purport to
tell OF the manners and customs OF
Indians. While its origin has been
lost in the mist Of ages, there Is not a
line or mark painted on an Indians
face but has II meaning, full and
complete. Not only Is this true, but
the marks are Interchangeable and con.
slant in the tribe from generation to
generation, and are laid on with ut
most exactness and greatest OF care.
The markings are Of two kinds, tribal
and individual. All tribes have pc.
culiar markings for war paint, or for
any ceremony that Is to be perform
ed, and when an Indian has finished
the tribal decoration he places his
own private mark in conspicuous
place. This is his family totem or
its representative.
When was with the Sioux 1t was
my fortune to witness the ceremonies
attendant upon the application Of
war paint. A band of Crows had
driven of n number of horses OF the
Sioux, and the Teton chief decided
that it called for retaliation. The
men who We're to take part in the raid
assembled about the fire and sang
and danced until late in the night.
A large amount of red ochre had been
obtained from the ferruginous clay Of
the bad lands, and after this was
mixed to proper consistency the
chief dipped quantity with his left
hand and carefully smeared his face
with it from his eyes down, smooth
ing it evenly all over the lower part
of the face, leaving the forehead UNI
touched As he did this he bowed to
the fire and said "As the fire has no
mercy, so should we have none"
One by one the warriors stepped up
and went through this ceremony, and
then the chief placed small patch
of mud under each eye, saying: "My
little grandfather is very dangerous
as he makes his attempts. Very
close do stand as l 60 to the at
tack" The ''little grandfather"
means a young buffalo bull, which
the Tetons believe to have been the
original progenator Of the tribe.
When the buffalo enters into fight
he g res the earth and gets mud on
his cheeks. Following the chief
again, the other members of the party
put the patch of mud on their cheeks,
repeating the formula, and then each
man took from his private paint
pouch Il bit of charcoal and painted
his individual totem sign on his face.
When this was done all were ready

Couldn't Swallow the String.

A woman went into o lewciry
store in New York and asked to see
some diamond rings. As she was
looking at them she directed the
clerks attention another way for
moment, and popped one of the rings
into her mouth, She did not notice
beforehand that the ring had tag
attached to it by long string, and
when the clerk turned to her, he was
surprised to see the tag hanging out
of her mouth by the string, which she
was making the most extraordinary
faces in her efforts to swallow. The
string had gotten tangled in her fronb
teeth, and refused to go either way.
The clerk disentangled it for her, and
also disentangled several pockctbooks
which were found in her pocket. --

Ticket canesiiing.

The exigcncies of railway passenger
traffic have led to the invention Of
most ingenious machines for the can
collation., dating and registering Of
tickets. In one machine, designed for
turning out tickets rapidly for street
railways, ferries, etc., the individual
tickets in large roll Of paper Of the
required width and thickness are d.
vidcd from one another by pcrfors-
ton and pair Of notches, which arc
also used for maintaining the regis
tering during printing. The strip Of
paper then passes over u series OF
wheels, which regulate the frictional
tension, to the printing cylinder,
from whence II II turned ready for
use, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
In other machines tickets. can 10.

From an article In Scribner ('On

hour 1t approached nearer and nearer

jeans room, and delivered her the
letter.
Dear Aunt Jean. At the first sight
of the handwriting she fell a-fainting
like an aspen leaf, and-well, when I
went back to Walter I carried an
answer to that letter. I don't know
what 1t was; not much, I know, only
few words; but Walter took them
to the old gentleman, and
Aunt Caroline had to go to bed. It
was too much for her to take in all
at once, SO she didn't see what Walter
and did. She didn't see the big
blessed old DR.. Fairfax walk straight
into the sitting-room where Aunt
Jean was, and take her into his
strong arms right there before us.
No. And she didn't see the light in

soft cheeks. Yes; that was the
trouble-the letter that never came.

A Wealthy Church.

The Pittsburg Catholic says that
the Orthodox Church of Russia is SO
wealthy that it could easily cancel
the national debt of Russia, which
amounts to one thousand million
dollars, and hardly feel it. Its ways
of getting this wealth are unique.
One Is the sale of consecrated wax
candies. For example, the cathedral
of ltasan, In st. Petersburg, sold

FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the product of American mines,
at the old ratio of 10 of silver to I of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business of the coun-
try. The surreptitious act of 1873,
divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
of the United States. 1t was an act
of treason because done at the instance
of a European syndicate and for bride
money, "giving aid and comfort to
our country's enemies" To shield
the guilty parties, the we'll authenti-
Gated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer will continue to ex-
pose this objectionable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration of silver to its
old companionship with gold. We
need the assistance of the people in
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection of pa
pers for the coming season to include
