A Bad Practice.

Washing the hands in the water to
which ammonia has been added is a
very common recommendation. h
would be well enough, perhaps, If the
supplementary processes were correct
" riven, but the direction is simply
for putting a little of this substance
into the water in which the hands are
washed. Somebody follows these di-
rections, and finds the hands rough
and disagreeable almost beyond endur-
ance. Some day the victim Of this
foolish practice makes up her mind
that maybe ammonia doesn't agree
with her, and forthwith discontinues
it's use. The fact is that ammonia IS
absolutely unfit for the toilet unless
it's effects are carefully removed by
some suitable agent. 1t is strongly al
kaline and destroys the natural oil on
| and near the surface OF the skin, leav-
ing it rough, crackly and with a de-
| cided tendency to chap and wrinkle.
| After the use Of soap Of any sort OF
any alkaline preparation the hands
! should be thoroughly washed in clean
water and rubbed with some soothing
compound, such as glycerine and rose
water. a bit of diluted honey, almond
oil or some like substance. This re
stores the s~oftness of the skin and pre-

Saving q Sparrow.

An authentic incident in the career OF
General Robert E. Lee is told as an evil
dence of his sweetness Of disposition and
natural kindliness. One day he was in
specting the batteries owe the lines be

diers had gathered in a group to vel
come him. This action drew upon them
the fire of the Union guns
The general faced about and advlsea
the men to so under shelter. But be
did not do this himself. Walking on
although in apparent danger, he picked
up and replaced an unfedged sparrow
which had fallen from its nest near by.

An Educated Indians Rec ,nectlon c,
BOyish sport.
One OF our most curious sports wa a
war upon the nests Of wild bees We
imagined ourselves about to make an
attack upon the Chippewas or some
other tribal foe. We all painted and
stole cautiously upon the nest; then.
with a rush and a war-whoop, sprang
upon the object of our attack and en-
deavOred to destroy IL But II seemed
that the bees were already on the alert,
and never entirely surprised; for they
always raised quite as many scalps as
did their bold assailants! After the
onslaught upon the bees was ended, We
usually followed it by a pretended
~scalp-dance.
On the occasion OF my first expert
ence in this mode OF warfare, there
were two other little boys who also
We're n~ovices. One Of them, partic-
ularlv, was too young 10 IN
dulge in such an exploit. As 1t
was the custom Of the Indians,
when they killed o wounded an enemy
on the battlefield, to announce the act
in a loud voice. we did the same. My
friend Little Wound las l viii call him,
for ! do not remember his name) being
quite small, was unable to reach the
nest until it had been well trampled
upon and broken, and the insects had
made a counter charge with such vigor
as to repulse and scatter u numbers
in every direction. However, he evil
IDENTITY did o want to retreat without
any honors; SO he b~ravely jumped upon
the nest and yelled:
Il, brave Little Wound, to-day kill
the only fierce enemy ~
Scarcely was the last word uttered
when he screamed as if stabbed to the
heart. One Of his older companions
shouted:
olive into the water! Run! Dive into
the water!' for there was a lake near
by. This advice was obeyed.
When we had reassembled and We're
, i~ndulging in our mimic dance, Little
Wound was not allowed to dance. He
was not to be in existence-he had
t been KILLED" by our enemies, the Bee
| tribe. Poor little fellow! His tear
/ stained face was sad and ashamed, a:
he sat on a fallen log and watched the
/ dance. Although he might we'll have

The soldiers and the prisoners must
be pretty good chums|
"Well, that's very much as you take
it. It's a common sight to see the guard
and the prisoner Keeling home together
if they've made out well.
81 suppose you'd imagine that prison
ers would often get away with these
kind Of guardians, but they don't. When
ever the soldier takes it into his head
that the prisoner is going to escape he
lust shoots him dead, and that's all there
is to it. No coroner comes around and
post mortems are unknown. Why, !
was walking one day with a friend on
one of the chief streets Of Jacmel.
Right in front Of us was a drunken
soldier and a drunken prisoner. Now,
said my friend, you watch that fellow
! and see if he doesn't take it into hi:
head that his prisoner is going to escape
And if he does he will shoot him. Sure
enough, a minute or two after the
drunken prisoner staggered into the mid
die Of the street, and the equally drunken
soldier ups with his Long Tom anC
shoots him dead.
Things are not quite as bad at Port
au-Prince as they are at Jacmel and tn
smaller towns on the island, but the dit
terence is not worth talking of. Hayt

SOLDERING IN HAYTL
HUNGRY PRiVATES SUPPORT THEM
SELVES BY BEGGING.

Qneer Way the Haytian Authorities Have
of Taking Caro- of Their Convicts and
Warriors-They Travel In Pairs and
Beg In the Streets Day by Day.
Philip Mcdowell is an old and well
known New Yorker. He was a volun-
teer fireman once, and all old New York
ers know what that means. OF late
years Mr.. Mcdowell has travelled extern
sively abroad. He visited Hayti. A
day or two ago a reporter asked him
what was the most striking thing he
saw in the black republic.
81 saw many strange things in Hayti,
but the strangest Of all was the way the
soldiers and prisoners are transformed
into beggars and are forced to live on
charity. When a prisoner is sentenced
to do time there he doesn't have a uni
form, he learns nc trade and he doesn't
get anything to eat from the govern
ment- He is allowed to beg, though,
for money and grub, and if he won't beg
well, he can starve.
This begging is funny kind of bust
ness. Take the prison at Jacmel, for in

the prisoners out to pick up whatever
they can get, and each fellow has a sol
der along with him to see that he
doesn't run away. The two beg together
all day and whack up in the evening.
Then the soldier brings back his prisoner
to jail and goes up to the fort to show
that he has his musket all right, and
hasn't sold it for drinks or a square mea-
during the day"
SOLDIERS z NO PAY.
But don't the Haytian soldiers ge
pay?"
mo, they don't. ANY money there i
in the army goes to the generals, and O
them there are enough to command tn
combined armies of Europe and America
Once in a long while the Haytian soldie
