Indian Caroacts.

American women who long for coro nets should hesitate before accepting In. dian ones. The case of an English woman who sued for divorce from her Hind0a husband points 9 moral. She alleged cruelty as 9 ground for her suit, and ii IS claimed that the same plea might be made by nearly all the women who mar. " orientals and go home with them.
 As a usual thing, the oriental gentle. man pursuing his studies at an English or American university is a picturesque figure. He is likely to be very clever, and i4 is taken for granted that he is a prince at least, when he is at home. He. is popular with his fellows, and through one of them he meets and marries pretty, freely brought up girl. Then he takes her home.
 She may not meet with unkindness from her husbands family, for the ori. entals have many amiable and attractive qualities, and they are not cruel. But if the husband basnot cut himself adrift from the religion and ties of his child. hood his wife must conform 10 a certain extent to the ordinary life of the native woman. And, inasmuch as she will only do this So far as her love and duty to her husband oblige her, she will cer. taiuly fail to satisfy her new relatives and viii be looked on with coldness and suspicion by them.-New York World.

"Alea try ia every way possible" said a prominent bank president, Ito obtain the signatures of New York bankers.
 "Their object is evidently to use them in committing forgeries. At least we suspect so, and for that reason try to be as careful as possible in signing letters.
 "In this bank we have many letters from tf.c west of such trivial nature that we suspect au ulterior motive upon the part of the writers, and if we answer them at all do so by typewriter, even to the signature.
 ''One forger or counterfeiter in IndI. ana is exceedingly systematic and per siatent in bis efforts to obtain the sigma lures of our officers. As regularly as the year comes around he writes, inclos- ing $l0 bill, and requests us to send him one of our new $l0 bank notes in exchange.
 He always gives the same reason for the request-that he wants it for his col- lection. Of course that isnonsense. We believe that he wants q new bill so that he may discover if we have changed our officers and get their signatures.
 "He never does get them though We always return his bill with a typewrit- ten letter on paper containing no names, excusing ourselves on the ground that we have no circulation outstanding. New York Herald.

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DOGS.

EsIimos Find the Faithful Animal Ne-
 cessity of Their Miserable Existence.
 Without dogs the larger portion of the great Eskimo family peopling the barren northern coast of America would find it impossible to exist in it's chosen home" So writes D. w. Nielsen in his Mammals of Northern Alaska" They are used in the winter for hunting, sledge drawing and the like, but in sum. mer are mostly left to shift for them- Eelves, They receive much hard usage, Es well as do much hard work, but are described nevertheless as a rollicking set, full of play, fond of human society and quarrelsome as schoolboys,
 Mir. Nelson credits them with vein of
 umor and declares that their varying characteristics can be read in their faces. They are worth from $2 to $l5 apiece, ac- aording to age, size and intelligence For sledge drawing they are harnessed in teams of either seven or nine-three or four pairs and leader. The load is from $50 10 700 pounds, and the courseis mainly through uubroken snow or over rough ice. With a team of seven dogs and load of more than 300 pounds Mir. Nelson made a journey of more than 12G0 miles in about two months The last 60 miles were made over a bad road in continuous pull of 2l hours. They arc much affected by the moon. During full moon half the night Is spent by them in bowling in chorus.
 Daring the entire winter at St. Mi chaels, says Mir, Nelson, i've were inva- riably given a chorus every moonlight night, and the dogs of two ueighboring villages joined in ths serenade." He speaks of its "wild, weird harmony" and seems to have found it agreeable rather f.au otherwise. The influence of the moon Is also very apparent when the dogs are travelling They brighten up as the moon rises, and prieking up their ears start of as if they had forgotten their fatigue. The fur traders take ad- vantage of this fact and sometimes lio over during the day and travel at night The dogs endure an astonishing degree of cold Mir Nelson saw a female with two newly born puppies lying upon ths snow near hut, with no sign of shelter, when the thermometer ranged from 30 to 3j degrees below zero.

told Separation.

What is claimed to be the most advan- tageous process for the separation of fine gold in placers comes from Montana. It q. q dry process, designed especially for localities distant from sufficient water for other methods, the ore or gravel be- ing run through u crusler or steam dri- CT, after which it is dumped into the hopper of the separator. Dropping from this, it strikes h powerful blast of air, which carries it between two sets of slowly revolving copper cylinders coated with one.sixteenth of an inch of mer- cury.
 These cylinders are placed in two lines of three each, one above the other, so that the dust, driven by the air blast, passes between them ir a wavelike line. The ore first strikes a cylinder similar to the others, but revolving in an oppo- site direction, which catches the coarser gold and the nuggets. Then, passing between the other cylinders, all the gold is caught, however fine, and the waste is carried by the air blast to a conveyor, which bears it away. The mercury on the cylinders is constantly renewed, so that fresh surface is always presented, and it is asserted that the process has been subjected to such various tests, and so successfully, us to demonstrate its peculiar adaptability to the class oi work in question.

 It would not surprise some of us if at the beginning of 1900 every state in the Union admitted the Justice of equal suf- frage and passed laws placing women where they belong--on Q political equal ity with men. Even the south, still cherishing the notion that women are exquisite infants, cannot much longer remain blind to the advantages to be derived from giving tho ballot to edu- cated women Since the war these ex- quisite infants have been forced to earn their own living. Contact with the seamy side of tho world knocks senti. mentality out of women's heads and makes them realize the power of the ballot. That southern delegates to the recent woman's suffrage convention should have asked to have the next con- ycntion held in Atlanta and should have gained the victory over all rivals is a significant straw. predict that the Att lanta convention will make moro con yerts than any one convention ever yet made, and that when southern women go into polidcs their earnestness and enthusiasm will be unparalleled.
 Whether New York needs a petition signed by LOGO, 900 women to be pre- sented to the legislature some months hence is not sure, but certain it is that the most brazen politicians cannot much longer deny tBe outrage to American born women Of taxation without repre- sentations while newly arrived immi- grants without a dollars interest in the country and less than dollars knowl- edge of our language march to the polls and say how the unrepresented shall be taxed. The scandals of the ballot box are so many and so unrepublican as to make the advent of woman a foregone conclusion. Massachusetts has at last given mp the contest, and her GO, GOO women majority can hereafter exercise municipal suffrage. On them has fallen a tremendous responsibility, and it be- hooyes them to give the rest of the coun- try an intelligent object lesson
 Republican institutions have practi. cally broken down in our cities Let the housekccpars of the nation come to the rescue, If with the ballot in their hands women permit the old evils to go on mdimiuishod, it will prove the truth of ml eminent congIessmGA's reply when. eyer asked whether he believes in wom- an suffrage: Of course am a bowling suifragn, I believe in the equality of the sexes, and you can't have equality without equal suffrage If you ask mo whether the wjllannium will arrive when women vote, then l answer no.

All snakes Do Not Hiss.

The popular idea that all snakes hiss is incorrect when anacondas are in ques- tion, if we may believe a close observer of the serpent family, The sound they make is more like Q growl than hiss ana has been we'll described by travel CT as Q How, roaring noise" Their pow CTS of deglutition are sufficiently won derful to make e1aggeration unneces- sary, credible witnesses testifying to the fact that one has been known to swal- low horse, while ballocks gre not in frequently attacked also. Few nonscien- tifc readers, by the way, are aware that not only do the jaw hinges of the boa tribe become dislocated in the act of swallowing large animal, subsequently, resuming their proper position by means of the elastic connecting tendons, but that the skull bones separate centrally, so the whole constitutes sort of quad rangular orifce with apparently indef- mite powers of expansion.

Speaking French.

A Tennessee chaplain, the Rev, J. Ii. McNeilly, says that at Port Hudson his regiment was encamped next to the Thiltieth Louisiana, which was made up of French speaking men, The French language, naturally enough, was mys- tery to most of the rural Temesseeans
 One night all hands were in the trenches. Faraguts fleet was in the river, and an attack by land was also expected The Tennessee boys who were close to the boys from Louisiana, nos tieed that the frogs in the numerous ponds were cToaltng necessarily in a kind of low, continuous chatter.
 "IIark, boys" said one fellow "These frogs have been eamped so long by the Thirtieth Louisiana that they are all talking Frenchp
 At another time some of the men were loungiug by the riverside when they heard some French speaking wom. en, who were engaged in washing, talk ing to each other
 Suddenly one of tho boys called to an. other, who was noted for his slOwness of speech:
 Come here quick, Sam, and hear this woman talk, She can give just one flutter of her tongue and say more in a minute than you can in week, '- Youths Companion.

whIted Financial sepulchers.

With some very few exceptions, which it were invidious to name, but which all in the railway world know as such ex- captions, the railway corporations of the United States literally live from hand to mouth and have no working or reserve capital whatever, although their business requires it more than any other. The railways ar5 capitalized for much more than they are worth. Usually the bond cd indebtedness, car trust certificates, equipment and terminal securities, taken at par, represent value in excess of the cost of the road, and upon them fixed in- terest is compulsorily payable. Hence, whatever the road earns upon actual cost must, unless it exceed, say, per cent, be paid out annually in tho shape of interest alone. e.-Simon Sterne in Fo- rum.

There is a species of the bird known as the wo9dpseksf in the far west that has an unusual amount of reasoning fac ulty. It is much tanner than the species of that bird found farther east and ire quents the towns rather than the woods. They make holes along the caves of the dwellings, ana ir1- thess holes they place aeorns, not for the purpose of eating them, as the birds do not eat the acorns at all, but for the purpose of deyouring the grubs that germinate in the acorn, This indicates continuous train of thought, looking forward to the time of the creation of the worm and it's desira- bility as food.-St Louis Glebe-Demo- craf

 words
 A purer purpose runs, No mSster if my hands attain The golden crown or cross, Only to love ,s such a gain The. losing Is not loss. And thus, whatever fate betide Of rapture or of pain, Ii storm or sun the future hide, My love is not in vain, So only thanks are on my lips, And through my love l see My earliest dreams, like freighted ships. Come sailing home to me.

Obituary.

Departed this life on the 18th of Sep
tember, 1894, Lidie Grace, infant child
of Mr.. and Mrs. John King, aged 8
months and 0 days.
May the parents in their present
sickness and bereavement for their
lost child remember that not in anger
nor hatred, but out of the purest love,
He sem ONE guardian spirit who
gently and sweetly struck Off the fet-
tiers Of earth and untwined the arms of
this tender infant from their necks and
bore it away in triumph to His own
eternal home.
"As vernal flowers that scent the morn,
But wither in the rising day,
Thus lovely was the infants dawn,
Thus swiftly fled her life away.
"She died before her infant soul
Had ever burned with wrong desires,
Had ever spurned at Heavens control,
Or ever quenched it's sacred fires.
"She died to sin, she died to care,
But for q moment felt the rod,
Then, rising on tho viewless air,
Spread her light wings and scared to
God"
FRIEND.
